Chapter 59

Tony Stark, the famous dreamer, genius, and patriot, has been a standout since his youth due to his intelligence. At the age of four, he could build circuit boards, at six, he could create engines, and at seventeen, he became the top graduate from MIT. At twenty-one, he took over his father's legacy and carved out his own new world.

Tony created smart weapons, advanced robots, satellite positioning technology, and more, single-handedly transforming the face of the arms industry! He is a billionaire, a genius inventor, a notorious playboy, and a favorite of the heavens! With his numerous noble titles and star status, he was irresistible to women, and it's said that even the cover models of Maxim magazine had affairs with him!

In daily life, Tony was witty, humorous, and free-spirited, always above the fray.

But now, he lies on a cold stone table like a dead dog, a large hole in his chest, his life hanging by a thread. The renowned doctor and scientist Yin Sen is leading a hastily assembled "medical team" to save Tony's life. Seeing the rudimentary and outdated medical equipment, Bai Xiaofei can't help but grimace.

"This is just the main character. If it were anyone else, even if the surgery succeeded by chance, they would probably die from infection!" Bai Xiaofei mutters to himself, but his hands don't stop. He keeps passing tools and medicines to Yin Sen. When Tony's life is in critical danger, Bai Xiaofei secretly takes out a medical spray and sprays some into the saline solution, finally managing to save Tony's life.

A few hours later, the surgery is over, and Tony falls into a coma. The gangsters leave the cave to eat outside.

The doctors are taken away, leaving only Yin Sen and Bai Xiaofei to take care of Tony.

As the chief physician and surgeon, Yin Sen is exhausted after these few hours. After placing the ugly electromagnet in the large hole in Tony's chest to ensure that the bomb fragments in his blood vessels don't enter his heart, Yin Sen finally sighs in relief and sits down.

Bai Xiaofei walks over and hands Yin Sen a cup of cool water, smiling and saying, "Yin Sen, you've worked hard. Have a drink!"

Yin Sen wipes the sweat from his forehead, takes the cup, and sips it, giving Bai Xiaofei an apologetic smile. "Bai, I really trouble you. I'm exhausted from these few hours, carefully holding the scalpel, my hands almost numb. I guess the cooking task will also fall to you!"

Bai Xiaofei smiles nonchalantly. "No problem!"

...

A few hours later, Tony regains consciousness.

Feeling the discomfort in his body, he is horrified to discover that he has become a half-man, half-machine, a pitiful creature dependent on a battery and an electromagnet to survive.

Falling from the heavens' favorite to this state, it's clear that Tony's mood is far from good!

At this moment, Yin Sen is cooking a mushy meal in a frying pan, whistling as he cooks, maintaining an optimistic attitude even in dire circumstances. It's evident that he has a strong inner resolve!

Bai Xiaofei, on the other hand, is hiding in a blind spot of the camera, secretly munching on beef ham. He would never eat the food made by Yin Sen, no matter what!

Bai Xiaofei once curiously tasted a bit of it and almost vomited on the spot!

Noticing that Tony has woken up, Bai Xiaofei quickly stuffs the uneaten ham into a dimensional space, wipes his mouth, and then approaches Tony, smiling. "Tony, hello. I'm Bai Xiaofei. The man cooking is Yin Sen. You must be thirsty after being unconscious for so long. Would you like a cup of 82-year-old cool water?"

As he speaks, a cup of cool water magically appears in his hand.

Tony's mood is terrible. He doesn't want to acknowledge Bai Xiaofei; he wants to understand his current situation and why he has become this way. However, his severe injuries and blood loss have left him very weak, and his body is severely dehydrated, forcing him to take the cup of water from Bai Xiaofei and drink it all down.

"Phew..."

After drinking the water, Tony feels much better.

He holds up a piece of metal that isn't a mirror, looking at the ugly electromagnet in his chest, and says with a pale face, "What have you done to me?"

Then, Bai Xiaofei and Yin Sen begin to explain Tony's current condition and situation to him.

After listening, Tony feels utterly devastated!

It's as if he has been gang-raped by a hundred men. Tony's face shows his inability to accept the situation.

The optimistic Yin Sen, however, continues to chat with Tony, even mentioning that they had met at a technology summit in Bern. Unfortunately, Tony's tender heart is still being trampled by a thousand horses, and he doesn't hear a word Yin Sen says.

Bai Xiaofei knows that this is the worst time in Tony's life and also a crucial turning point. If he can help and guide Tony at this critical moment, he can become Tony's most trusted friend, making it easier to plan the Iron Man suit in the future!

Just as Bai Xiaofei is about to speak and persuade Tony, the only steel door in the cave is opened, and a group of armed gangsters, led by a bearded man, rush in.

The bearded man ignores Bai Xiaofei and Yin Sen, coming to Tony and shouting a string of incomprehensible words.

"%@#&*……"

"Guy, who can tell me what this damn bearded man is saying?" Tony looks bewildered at Bai Xiaofei and Yin Sen.

"He says, welcome, Tony Stark, the most famous murderer in American history! He is honored!" Yin Sen acts as the translator, translating the bearded man's words to Tony: "He wants you to build a missile, the one you demonstrated, the Jericho missile!"

The furious Tony firmly refuses the bearded man's request and is then pushed into the water and brutally tortured to force his compliance.

To win Tony's favor, Bai Xiaofei risks his life, rushing over and shouting in the bearded man's language, "Hehehe... Calm down! Tony just woke up, and he is very weak. If you torture him like this, you'll kill him. Stop! You want him to help you build a missile, right? I can help you persuade him, please! Stop!"

"Stop!"

The bearded man is startled and quickly signals his men to stop.

Looking at the weak and miserable Tony, the bearded man is also frightened. In his anger, he didn't consider this point. Fortunately, the Chinese adventurer reminded him; otherwise, if Tony were killed, he would be in trouble!

He dismisses the two men who were torturing Tony and comes to Bai Xiaofei, saying menacingly, "Chinese boy, you better persuade Tony to help us build the missile, or I'll kill you!"

After delivering his threat, the bearded man leaves with his men.

On this side, Yin Sen naturally tells Tony everything that happened between Bai Xiaofei and the bearded man. Tony grits his teeth and says, "Bai, I won't help these bastards build a missile!"

Bai Xiaofei shakes his head with a bitter smile and helps Yin Sen support Tony to sit on the stone bed.

This cave is dark, damp, and extremely cold, and the food is terrible. Bai Xiaofei can manage for a while by not feeling hungry, but he can't go without food for long. Besides, he doesn't want to be kept like an animal. Therefore, he decides to push the plot forward, get Tony to build the Mark I, and leave this place as soon as possible.

Bai Xiaofei looks at Tony with serious eyes and says, "Tony, do you want to escape?"

"Of course! Do you think I don't?"

Tony glares at Bai Xiaofei angrily, then a light bulb goes off in his head. Seeing Bai Xiaofei's confident expression, he exclaims, "You have a plan?"

Yin Sen also looks at Bai Xiaofei with a puzzled expression, hoping he will come up with a convincing plan.

Bai Xiaofei says mysteriously, "I don't have a plan, but you do!"

"Tony, you are a super genius. I believe that no matter what the difficulty, your smart brain can find a solution! The enemy is powerful, numerous, and well-armed, but so what? Those weapons were designed by you. So, let's build something even more advanced! If we don't have the equipment, make them get it. If they don't give it to us, tell them we can't build the Jericho missile! They will find a way!"
