Chapter 28

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

One by one, figures hovered in mid-air, their legs spraying flames. They were clad in steel armor, controlled by Tony's thoughts. Today, Iron Man was no longer a solitary figure; he was showcasing his Iron Man army to the world.

"You guy, just how much have you been hoarding?" the colonel asked, looking at Tony.

Zheng Xiaotian was somewhat lost in thought. Right before his eyes, none of the armors displayed had been made by him and Tony. This meant that Tony had another ace up his sleeve, another base, and even more armors that hadn't been revealed. What was shown now was just a part of it.

"Send them to hell!" Tony extended his hands, looking incredibly majestic and powerful.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

The Iron Men autonomously attacked the psychics from all directions. This was the program Tony had set up, like his butler, with a bit of thinking ability. Their orders were simple: eliminate anyone who wasn't an ordinary person. This would basically ensure no mistakes.

Boom, boom, boom. Explosions were everywhere, coming from the small missiles the Iron Men fired. Battles raged in all directions, intense, spectacular, and dazzling.

Meanwhile,

Tony, Zheng Xiaotian, and the colonel were standing to the side, doing nothing.

"This is your boring hobby, right?" the colonel asked with a smile.

"Everyone has their hobbies," Tony replied with a laugh.

What Zheng Xiaotian was worried about wasn't the hobby. He was worried about when Tony would give him the armor. Once he had the armor, he could leave and wouldn't need to stay here any longer. When the movie reached this point, it was already at its climax, and victory was a foregone conclusion. Whether he was there or not didn't really matter much.

Swoosh!

An armor shot toward Tony.

Arms, legs, body, and even the mask. In the blink of an eye, Tony was fully equipped.

Zheng Xiaotian knew that this moment had arrived. The armor Tony owed him was about to be delivered.

"Can I have an armor too?" the colonel asked with a smile.

"Sorry, the armors are custom-made," Tony replied with a smile.

Zheng Xiaotian's heart turned cold. Tony hadn't made one for him either, which meant that after the Iron Man story ended, Tony would still need to make one for him before he could leave.

Tony waved his hand.

Swoosh!

From the sky, an Iron Man armor came rushing over.

"What are you standing there for? Open your arms!" Tony shouted at Zheng Xiaotian.

"Huh?" Zheng Xiaotian was stunned by the sudden happiness. He had already prepared for Tony to be shameless, but it seemed that Tony wasn't planning to be shameless at all.

"Open your arms, and the armor will fit you," Tony said.

Zheng Xiaotian snapped back to his senses and quickly opened his arms.

First, his hands were equipped, then his legs, and simultaneously, his body and head were armored.

"Hello, Master, it's a pleasure to serve you." A mechanical voice sounded in Zheng Xiaotian's ears.

"Mission complete, armor acquired. The time portal can be opened at any time. Would you like to open it now?"

The voice seemed to explode in Zheng Xiaotian's mind. He knew this voice was different from the one that had just entered his ears, though both sounded mechanical.

"Damn, does he have one too?" the colonel pointed at Zheng Xiaotian, suddenly feeling a bit unhappy.

"I made this one for him. Didn't I make one for you too? Didn't you lose it? Now, we can just find yours again," Tony said, trying to soothe the colonel.

Zheng Xiaotian was in a dilemma about whether to go home or not. He wondered where he could test the armor. If he went back, he wouldn't dare to release the armor. Here, he could familiarize himself with and control the armor. Since he could always go back anytime, he decided to stay a bit longer.

"Let's not open the portal for now," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Understood!"

"Zheng Xiaotian, let's go!" Tony called out to Zheng Xiaotian. Then, the thrusters on his feet ignited, and his armor shot off in one direction.

"Full speed ahead, lock onto Tony!" Zheng Xiaotian ordered.

"Sure, sir!"

Swoosh!

Zheng Xiaotian's armor shot off toward Tony's armor.

"Zheng Xiaotian!" Tony's voice suddenly appeared in Zheng Xiaotian's ear.

"Yep, I'm here!" Zheng Xiaotian nodded.

"Pepper's location is locked. I'm going to save her," Tony said.

"Okay, sure!" Zheng Xiaotian replied.

"This isn't about whether it's okay or not. While locking onto her, I also locked onto that guy. But they're in different directions. Since you have an armor now, I thought you could take care of that guy. What do you think?" This wasn't an order from Tony but a discussion with Zheng Xiaotian.

"Sure, I can handle it," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"Great, I'll send you the coordinates. When you see him, the armor will remind you who he is. Remember, remember, remember, you have to beat him so badly that even his mother won't recognize him. Then you'll have won completely," Tony said.

"Understood!" Zheng Xiaotian nodded.

Now, the situation was split into three directions. Tony was heading toward his girlfriend. This clearly showed that in his heart, women always came first.

Zheng Xiaotian, wearing the armor, went to confront the mastermind. The colonel headed toward the kidnapped president.

Of the three, Zheng Xiaotian's path was the most dangerous. If he remembered correctly, the mastermind could turn his body into molten lava. And he was wearing steel, which could easily be melted. So, it was quite a tough opponent.

Zheng Xiaotian was nervous as he slowly approached the mastermind's location.

At the top of a pile of steel, there was a large umbrella, under which was a table and a reclining chair. The mastermind was lying on the chair, gazing at the stars, looking very relaxed. He had no idea that a major threat was approaching.

"Activate the tracking missile system," Zheng Xiaotian ordered.

"Sure, sir!"

Suddenly, two holes appeared in Zheng Xiaotian's chest. Then, swoosh, swoosh, two small missiles shot out, heading straight for the mastermind.
