Chapter 9

Time flew by, and Xu Nuo, who had shut himself off from the outside world, devoted all his attention to the Iron Man suit. He no longer cared about the plot developments, as they had nothing to do with him. For Xu Nuo, his eyes were now fixed on the soon-to-be-completed Mark II.

Xu Nuo wanted to complete the mission and get everything he desired. The only possibility was the super toy in front of him, and other matters were of no concern to him.

While Xu Nuo and Stark were building the Mark II, Pepper Potts came by a few times, each time with many things she wanted to say to Stark, but she always left without success. The big villain also came, but they had no significant impact on Stark.

As Xu Nuo's injuries were almost healed, it was finally time to test the various components of the Mark II.

"Alright, everyone, get ready." Stark, who had crashed into a wall during the last test due to excessive power output, chose to reduce the output again. Watching the component with white-hot jets propelling Stark to hover and sway in the garage, Xu Nuo felt his heart almost leap out of his chest.

This was the divine weapon that could allow mortals to challenge the gods. At this moment, Xu Nuo's heart was burning with passion. He imagined what it would be like if the Iron Man suit was one of the options the ring would give him after completing the mission. The image of him soaring through the night sky in a stylish suit was so beautiful that just thinking about it made Xu Nuo's mouth water.

"Wait! Wait! Don't go over there!!!" Stark's scream woke Xu Nuo from his daydream. He quickly looked over and saw that due to poor control, Stark had flown the Iron Man suit into the supercars that had made Xu Nuo's eyes widen with amazement.

Seeing the luxurious supercars being scorched by the hot exhaust, Xu Nuo's heart ached. What a waste! In his over twenty years of life, he had never even seen such supercars!

When Stark slowly landed, Xu Nuo could no longer contain his excitement and asked, "Tony, can I try it too?"

Stark was slightly taken aback but then nodded with a smile, "Of course, my friend."

Wearing only the hand and foot components, Xu Nuo took a deep breath and looked at Stark.

"OK!" Stark, holding a DV, smiled and gave a thumbs up with his other hand.

Xu Nuo's feelings at this moment were indescribable. This thing that he could only admire in movies was now real and on his body, making him feel like he was flying. It was truly an incredible feeling!

"Alright, activate manual control."

"Axis load support at......"

"Bang!!!"

Stark didn't even finish his sentence because Xu Nuo, in his excitement, had directly pressed the power output button, causing an overload. He flipped and crashed into the wall behind him.

Three days later, with cotton swabs in his nose and a bruise on his lip, Xu Nuo slowly controlled his floating in the air, moving back and forth. He could barely control this super weapon. Yes, in Xu Nuo's mind, the Iron Man suit was a super weapon.

It had long been proven that human potential is infinite. With enough interest and determination, one would eventually achieve their goal. Xu Nuo's desire for the Iron Man suit had surpassed his basic desires like eating and dating. He poured his heart and soul into it. Now, his mastery of the Iron Man suit was no less than Stark's.

The two men, like big boys with their favorite toys, played around in the basement and garage, turning the super weapon into a large toy. Even Pepper, who brought them food and water, was infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere and never stopped smiling. However, there was always a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Tony, there's something I don't know if I should tell you." While eating dinner at a distant desk, Pepper gently pulled Stark aside and whispered.

"What's wrong?" Stark, clearly in a good mood, sipped his coffee and asked in confusion.

"It's like this." Pepper organized her words, glanced at Xu Nuo, and said softly, "You know, this thing is amazing. It's your pride. But, Xu is Chinese......"

"Enough, dear." Stark's brows immediately furrowed. At this moment, Stark felt like a rebellious child; the more people tried to dissuade him, the more annoyed he became. Seeing that even Pepper had a prejudice against Xu Nuo, his good mood vanished instantly. "I hope you understand, Xu is my friend. Do you understand? He saved my life from a bullet!"

Stark's voice lowered as he patted his chest, his emotions becoming agitated. "Right in front of me, I watched him get shot in the chest, covered in blood! That bullet was meant for me, and he saved my life!"

"Phew~~~" After a deep breath, Stark looked at Pepper with a complex expression. "In my eyes, there's no difference between Americans and Chinese. I only know that he is my friend! A friend who has risked his life for me!"

"But, Agent Phil said......" Pepper's words were cut off. "Dear! I don't want to discuss this anymore! I won't tolerate anyone criticizing or humiliating my friend! I know what Agent Phil wants. Now, I'm telling you, dear, don't have any more contact with that agent. In their eyes, anyone not born in America is a monster!"

Stark, frowning, put down his coffee cup and turned to leave, leaving Pepper with a gloomy expression. The beautiful secretary felt bitter. She always felt that the Chinese man who returned with Stark was strange, but she couldn't pinpoint why.

A few days later, the complete Mark II was finally ready. Looking at the Iron Man suit with its dazzling metallic luster, Xu Nuo was filled with excitement. This was no longer just about completing the ring's mission. Having personally participated in the creation of this groundbreaking weapon, Xu Nuo felt his eyes moisten. The birth of a great work in his hands was an incredibly wondrous and exhilarating feeling.

"Is this your doing?" When Xu Nuo was emotionally moved, the ring's sarcastic comment came at an inappropriate time. "You just filmed a DV and handed over tools. Why are you so excited?"

"......Shut up."

"Hey, Tony." When Stark, wearing the Iron Man suit, descended from the sky and returned to the garage, Xu Nuo approached with a smile. "Don't you think the color is a bit monotonous?"

"Hmm?" Stark, taking off the suit, turned to look and nodded. "Yes, the pure metal look is a bit monotonous."

"How about gold titanium alloy with a red car color?"

"Very good!"

After further improvements and fine-tuning, the complete Mark II deeply moved the two big boys.

"It's so beautiful."

"Yes, your description is very accurate."

......

The next day, while Xu Nuo and Stark were testing and adjusting the Mark II, the TV on the wall broadcast news of the armed group that had kidnapped them wreaking havoc in a town called Gulmira.

"That's Ethan's home." Although they hadn't spent much time together and hadn't had deep conversations, Xu Nuo still held great respect for the brave doctor or scientist. He was a good person.

"I know." Stark's voice carried a hint of coldness and anger.

"I want to go too."

"No problem, my friend."

A metallic sound rang out as the two Iron Men, fully equipped, soared out of the luxurious villa in Malibu, accelerating at supersonic speeds into the night sky. They left a beautiful trail in the air and headed towards the distant region of Afghanistan, breaking the sound barrier in the sky!

"Move faster, you fools!" The armed man with a grizzled beard waved his assault rifle, shouting at his subordinates. "Load all the women onto the trucks! Take everything valuable! Round up everyone!"

Dozens of armed men waved their guns, firing indiscriminately at the villagers, reveling in their superiority as armed men. At this moment, in their minds, they and their guns were God!

Dozens of elderly, sick, and disabled villagers were herded together, and a few armed men, grinning with satisfaction, walked up with their rifles. The women and children around them cried in pain, praying for divine salvation.

Then, the sky lit up.

"Clang!!!"

A heavy metallic sound echoed as two golden and red Iron Men appeared before everyone. The armed men were stunned, and the local villagers stopped crying and shouting, staring wide-eyed at the sudden appearance of these steel monsters!
