"It's truly an honor, Mr. President."
The armed man pressed the President against the wall and said with a sneer.
"If you want to make a move, then come on!" The President, a man of unyielding integrity, spoke to the armed man with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Don't be so hasty, Mr. President, that's not Mandarin's style." The sneer on the armed man's face deepened.
"Mandarin?"
Nick Fury couldn't help but frown.
He had heard that name before; in fact, not just him, but Coulson and Black Widow had also heard of it. After all, it was the leader of the infamous Ten Rings gang.
Even the kidnapping of Stark in the Middle East was carried out by members of the Ten Rings.
Over the years, S.H.I.E.L.D. had clashed with the Ten Rings on more than one occasion.
But even so, Nick Fury had always regarded the Ten Rings as just another terrorist organization, nothing more.
He had never truly taken them seriously.
But who would have thought that the Ten Rings would one day wield such terrifying power?
"Sir, Air Force One is in danger!"
"Shots fired inside the cabin, temperature rising rapidly!"
The screen now switched to an Air Force ground control room. The Air Force had already learned about what was happening on Air Force One.
"Let me see!"
"The footage has been transmitted!"
A technician performed some operations, and an image appeared on the computer screen—it was none other than War Machine flying in the air.
"Is that Colonel Rhodes?" The Air Force officer was baffled.
At this moment, the camera switched back inside Air Force One, where the armed man had already changed into a flight attendant's uniform.
So, without a doubt, the "War Machine" that flew away earlier must have been the President.
The assailant had used this method to abduct the President to some unknown location.
The armed man leisurely went about his work in the cabin, calmly finishing up.
But suddenly.
A metal arm reached out, and a repulsor blast sent the armed man flying.
Iron Man made a dazzling entrance!
After a brief struggle, Iron Man pinned the armed man against the wall, his repulsor ray accumulating energy, and threatened, "Where's the President? Speak!"
"He's not here!" As the armed man spoke, his entire right arm once again entered that high-heat state.
Like a glowing red iron rod, the "iron rod red" even spread to his head.
He grabbed Iron Man's armored arm and actually managed to push it away with sheer force.
The power of the Iron Man suit was no match for the armed man's strength!
This scene left everyone secretly aghast, their expressions incredibly solemn. It turned out that the armed man could not only generate high-heat energy but also possessed astonishing strength.
It was truly too dangerous.
"You need to go down!" The armed man then said to Iron Man, pulling out a controller and pressing it.
Boom!
A large hole was immediately blown in the fuselage.
Gasps and screams erupted as one passenger after another, unable to control their bodies, were forcefully "blown" out by the powerful airflow.
They began to plummet from high altitude.
And at this critical moment, Iron Man's arms were firmly gripped by the armed man, making it impossible to break free from his "clutches"!
He was even being suppressed by the armed man's immense strength, almost forced to his knees.
At a crucial moment, Iron Man suddenly thrust out his chest.
A powerful unibeam immediately shot out from the arc reactor on his chest, blasting a large hole in the armed man's chest.
The formidable armed man finally slowly collapsed.
"You're not so tough, bitch," Iron Man muttered, then flew out of the large hole blown in the cabin.
He began to rescue people.
J.A.R.V.I.S. immediately scanned the people "scattered" in the air.
"How many people are there?"
"Thirteen, sir!"
"How many can I carry?"
"Four, sir!"
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little curious.
J.A.R.V.I.S. had said that Stark could only carry four people at a time, but the number of people Stark needed to rescue was thirteen.
That was three times four, plus one more!
And as Stark's AI, J.A.R.V.I.S. would not make a misjudgment at a time like this, which meant that the Iron Man suit could indeed only carry four.
Under these circumstances, how did Stark manage to save all thirteen people?
"What am I going to do next?" Even Tony Stark himself grew intensely curious.
Iron Man decisively swooped down from the sky and embraced the flight attendant closest to him.
"Listen to me, do you see him? When I fly past him, you grab him!" After reassuring the flight attendant, Iron Man said to her.
"Is Stark planning to have these thirteen people hold hands, and save everyone that way?" Captain America couldn't help but voice his skepticism.
The others present also found it too absurd, almost like a joke.
In such a situation, everyone was scared to death, so flustered that they couldn't possibly accomplish these things.
This wasn't a movie!
Moreover, even if everyone did manage to grab others, it would be useless. After all, they weren't enhanced individuals and didn't have that much strength.
They would likely let go the next moment due to exhaustion.
Not to mention there were thirteen people in total.
This was simply impossible.
No one thought this method would work.
"Genius, I'm a true genius!" Only Tony Stark, after a brief moment of thought, understood his future actions and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
How can I not admire myself?
Under Tony Stark's admiring gaze and everyone else's doubtful stares, Iron Man, holding the flight attendant, flew to another passenger.
"I'm going to electrify your arm so your hand won't let go. We can do this!" Iron Man said to the flight attendant.
"Electrify!"
"So that's it!"
"What a brilliant method!"
Everyone present suddenly understood. Those who had initially doubted the method now had their eyes light up and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
It had to be said that although Tony Stark was arrogant and conceited, he was indeed a rare genius.
His intelligence was truly exceptionally high.
