The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 253 Chapter 422 Chapter 423 Desperate Lizard Warrior
"Why are you in my house? What important thing do you want to tell me?"

"And...how did you know the members of the Ten Rings Gang?!"

Facing Tony Stark's questioning, Maya Hansen pursed her lips and said, "If I say... this is exactly why I came to see you today, would you believe me?"

Seeing the man in front of her was indifferent, Maya Hansen could only continue to explain helplessly: "Well, to be honest, I think my boss is working for Mandarin!!"

"But if you want to continue discussing this topic, I think we'd better find a safer place."

"It's safe here." Tony Stark turned to look at Pepper Potts behind him and said, "Honey, you leave here first... and move back after I've completely dealt with this matter."

"Ok."

Without further ado, Pepper Potts stepped forward and kissed Tony Stark on the cheek, whispering in his ear, "Take care of yourself when I'm not around."

Then he picked up the handbag that had been packed and left in a hurry.

"Okay, now you can continue."

Tony Stark frowned and asked, "But before that, there's something I need to confirm. I remember you're a [Botanist], right?"

"Yes."

Maya Hansen nodded noncommittally. "To be more precise, I'm actually an expert in biological genetic coding... I explained this to you in detail before we went to bed that night."

"Ok."

Tony Stark's expression softened slightly, and he continued to inquire, "Who is your boss, and how did you get involved with the Ten Rings?"

"No, I have not had direct contact with members of the Ten Rings Gang."

Maya Hansen took a deep breath and continued, "A few years ago, my research project was sponsored by AIM (Advanced Technologies). My current boss, Aldredge Killian, specially assembled a 40-person research team for me."

"It's definitely related to that bastard Aldredge Killian!" Tony Stark's eyes lit up when he heard that. He pressed on, "So... what's the topic you're researching?"

"[Desperate Virus]!!"

Then, Maya Hansen told everything about the functions and characteristics of the [Extremis Virus].

"No wonder there were no shrapnel found near the scene where Happy was injured. So it was an uncontrolled suicide bomber?"

Tony Stark narrowed his eyes slightly, a sneer of contempt playing on the corner of his mouth, "This thing... is what you call the [Extremis Virus]. I guess it can't always recover normally after being hurt, right?

"In other words, it's still a defective product? It's just that you found a buyer in the process, and that person is... the Ten Rings Gang and Mandarin, right?!"

"Tony, I'm sorry, but you're only half right."

Looking at the man in front of her who seemed to be possessed by Detective Conan, Maya Hansen said with an extremely serious expression:

"If that monster... I mean, Dr. Kurt Connors hadn't appeared, the result might very well have been as you just guessed."

"But now... after Aldredge Killian forcibly fused the [Extremis Virus] with the [Cross-Species Genetic Serum], the side effects that could easily get out of control are gradually stabilizing. I believe it won't be long before they can cultivate a large number of 'Extremis Lizard Warriors' with stable abilities!!"

Recalling the Lizard Man who had escaped the explosion unscathed and continued to flee from the bottom of the water, Tony Stark widened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed:

"So, there are many guys who can transform into lizards and breathe fire?"

"That's right." Maya Hansen nodded heavily. "Although I don't know how Dr. Kurt Connors did it, he did forcibly fuse two different serums together through experiments... and that's why I was kicked off the team."

Just as Maya Hansen said, more than half a month ago, Aldredge Killian, under the instruction of Mandarin Trevor Slattery, successfully found the wanted Dr. Kurt Connors from the sewer and brought him back to the secret base.

Then he urged the other party to conduct a fusion experiment on the [Desperate Virus] and the [Cross-Species Gene Serum].

Originally, Maya Hansen believed that it was impossible to successfully combine these two different potions.

But who would have thought that a miracle would actually happen?

Dr. Kurt Connors actually took less than a week to forcibly merge the two potions together.

Then, a control experiment was conducted on several ordinary people and [Desperate Warriors], and finally a shocking conclusion was reached.

After transforming into a lizard, the special ingredients in the [Cross-Species Gene Serum] can effectively inhibit the fatal flaws in the [Desperate Virus], so that the user will not easily self-destruct due to excessive emotional fluctuations.

At the same time, it can perfectly preserve the self-healing ability of the [Desperate Virus] and the ability to release high temperatures.

So... Maya Hansen was kicked out of the core scientific research team and replaced by Dr. Kurt Connors.

Maya Hansen was a little angry. She felt that she was not treated as she deserved and that the robbers had stolen her scientific research results.

That's why she secretly came to Tony Stark, wanting to tell him the whole story and help others punish Aldredge Killian who kicked her out.

"Oh, by the way, Mandarin wasn't the buyer found by Aldrezzi Killian, but his boss behind the scenes!"

Maya Hansen thought for a moment and continued, "Although I have never actually come into contact with this mysterious leader, I have heard many rumors about him within the company."

"What rumor?" Tony Stark gave the other party an inquiring look.

Maya Hansen swallowed and said nervously, "He seems to be a demon who can do magic!"

"Are you talking about turning your hands into crab claws and breathing fire to burn people into a disgusting puddle of mud?"

"Tony, whether you believe it or not, one thing is certain... Even someone as ambitious as Aldredge Killian is terrified of the Mandarin... But fortunately, he seems to have left America recently."

"What do you mean by leaving?" Tony Stark asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"That's exactly what it means." Maya Hansen pursed her dry lips. "I don't know where Mandarin is headed, but if he were still there, Aldredge Killian would never dare to act as recklessly as he did just now... In other words, Aldredge Killian would definitely make a big move before Mandarin returns, so as to regain control of AIM and the Ten Rings."

Tony Stark's expression suddenly darkened. If the woman before him wasn't lying, then Aldredge Killian was about to launch a large-scale operation. Thinking of those Extremis warriors, who possessed the ability to transform into lizardmen and were like walking time bombs, and who could potentially pose a fatal threat to him and Pepper, Tony Stark's PTSD, left over from the Battle of New York and the "exploded equipment," suddenly activated.

Rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, confusion...

It was not until Jarvis, who discovered the abnormality, constantly reminded and comforted him that he recovered from his negative state.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

After regrouping, Tony Stark decided to strike first and eliminate these enemies who were hanging over his head like the Sword of Damocles. He then asked:
"Where is the secret base of the Ten Rings Gang?"

"In [Miami], [Florida]..."

After a slight hesitation, Maya Hansen said uncertainly, "Although your Iron Man suit is powerful and cool, I must remind you that those people are definitely not something that can be dealt with by just one Iron Man."

"Who said I'm going to take them out alone?"

Tony Stark obviously did not intend to tell Maya Hansen about his plan. After finding out the details, he couldn't wait to order her to leave.

"You'd better find a safe place where no one can find you and hide before I successfully deal with these bastards...Okay, that's it. I have some important things to take care of next."

Just like that, Maya Hansen, who was "driven" out of the villa, returned to her car with an unhappy look on her face, and then drove while thinking about where to go next.

It probably won't be long before Aldredge Killian sees the news that she's looking for Tony, so the other party will most likely send Lizard Desperate Warrior to hunt her down next.

The best thing to do right now is to find a safe hiding place and wait for this storm to end, as Tony said.

But the problem is, right now she has no idea where she should go to find a safe house that can protect her from the Lizard Desperate Warrior?

While she was hesitating, Maya Hansen's car had already driven down the hillside, but just as she turned left and was about to drive into the main road, two black SUVs, one in front and one behind, forced her car to stop.

boom--

Selina exerted a little force and pulled the driver's door down completely.

Then he put one hand on the roof of the car, leaned down slightly, and smiled at Maya Hansen, who was already stunned inside:
"Don't be afraid, Dr. Maya Hansen. We have no ill intentions. It's just that my Subspace Group greatly admires your achievements in the Extremis Virus, so we would like to invite you to Sokovia for an academic exchange meeting."

Is it really a meeting?

Don't lie to me?
Wait a minute, [Subspace Group]?
Could it be the mysterious company that has been on the hot search recently?

Although Maya Hansen has devoted almost all of her time and energy in recent years to improving the "Desperate Virus".

But in her spare time, she still goes online to surf the waves.

Therefore, they are not unfamiliar with the Subspace Group, which had previously successfully prevented the Dark Elves and the Demon Army from invading the Earth.

Considering her current dangerous situation, Maya Hansen agreed without hesitation. "No problem. I'm honored to have the opportunity to visit your company."

A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Selina's ice-blue eyes. She had originally planned to use her hypnosis ability to take the other party away if he resisted.

Who would have thought that the other party would agree so readily.

Very good, a man of insight is a wise man!

Then, Maya Hansen and Selena got in an SUV and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

On the ground where the two had just stood, there was a cell phone that had been crushed to pieces by the wheels.

…………

……

[Florida].

【Miami】.

In a heavily guarded manor somewhere.

"Sir, I'm sorry, this mission has failed."

Eric Savin said with a somewhat dejected look on his face, "Originally, I planned to catch him off guard, but I didn't expect him to react so quickly. He discovered us just as we were about to launch our sneak attack..."

"It's okay. It's not your fault...it's because there's a traitor among us."

After learning that his plan had failed, Aldrezzi Killian did not get angry. Instead, he pointed at the news on TV and said:
"I didn't expect our former chief researcher to show up there... If nothing unexpected happens, our identities and the secrets of this base will have been exposed."

"What, sir, are you saying that damned woman is a snitch?"

Eric Savin immediately turned to the TV with an angry look on his face, and soon found the familiar figure of Maya Hansen on it.

Although the aerial photography location in the news is quite far away.

But for "old acquaintances" like them who have been in contact with each other for nearly ten years, they can tell each other's identity even if they just look at each other's backs from a distance.

"I was wondering why Tony Stark reacted so early. Turns out it was this damned informer who was behind this... Traitor, don't let me catch you, or I'll skin her alive myself."

Eric Savin cursed at the image of Maya Hansen, then asked worriedly, "Sir, what should we do next?"

"If Maya Hansen really betrayed us and told Tony Stark everything that happened here, I'm sure it won't be long before he comes knocking on our door."

"Oh, it seems like I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted and spared her life..."

Aldredge Killian sighed, but then a cruel sneer appeared on his face. "But even if Tony Stark knew our identities, what could he do? Now no one can stop my plan!!"
