Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

Logically speaking, if a girl came to Stark Industries wanting to see Tony, it would be Pepper Potts, who would never see him and wouldn't allow the two of them to meet.

This matter was very important, so Maya Hansen told his secretary about terrorists. Pepper only met with Maya Hansen after hearing about terrorists.

"What's your relationship with Tony? You're not his ex-girlfriend, are you?"

A woman's intuition is usually very accurate, and when Pepper Potts saw Maya Hansen, she immediately felt that there was definitely something between her and Tony.

“We couldn’t really be considered a couple; I just had a one-night stand with him.”

Maya Hansen was a little embarrassed when she said this.

"That's exactly the kind of thing that bastard Tony would do. By the way, did you come to see him for something? He (Wang Qianhao) is rarely at the company these days."

"Excuse me, I wanted to ask if you have any information about terrorists."

After Chili started asking questions, Maya Hansen began answering them, telling her everything.

When she heard the last part, Chili was very shocked because she had just met Killian not long ago, and Happy was also there.

After meeting Killian and leaving, Happy told her that Killian was not a good person and said he was going to follow Killian's neighbor.

At that time, Chili didn't take Happy's words to heart.

Chapter 808 Investigation Company

Then Happy called Tony. At that time, Happy was busy working on his new armor, and all his attention and energy were focused on it.

He was lucky he even answered Happy's call, so he didn't hear what Happy was saying at all, which shows that Happy's injury was not an ordinary accident.

Maya Hansen tells Chili that Killian has been deceiving and blackmailing her, and that she hasn't spoken to anyone like this in a long time.

Maya Hansen created the Extremis virus with the intention of helping others, especially the disabled, so that they could grow their hands and feet back.

But she never expected that it would end up being used by Killian to modify people, which made Maya Hansen regretful. She felt that she should have just not created the Extremis virus.

This made Maya Hansen feel very guilty. She had told Chili Pepper everything, so when they got to the end, Maya Hansen felt very bad.

She burst into tears in front of Chili Pepper. Seeing Maya Hansen's tears, Chili Pepper quickly grabbed some tissues and began to comfort her, while also thinking about how to resolve the situation.

She had two solutions in mind: one was to call someone in her department, and the other was to tell Tony and the others. Before she could decide what to do, she heard the sound of guns shooting through the glass.

The cyborgs under Killian's command arrived and walked towards Pepper Potts' office. Stark Industries' security guards reacted very quickly.

So as soon as the cyborg entered Pepper's office, several security guards appeared to protect her.

Ordinary people are no match for cyborgs. The cyborgs breathed fire and burned the security guards to death, then left with Chili Pepper.

(chdb) Tony was devastated upon receiving the message. Pepper Potts was the softest spot in Tony's heart, and also his Achilles' heel.

However, Tony didn't let himself break down after going through so much. Instead, he quickly adjusted his mood and started thinking of a way to rescue Pepper.

Tony planned to investigate AIM first, so he went to the base computer. Tony wanted to access the company's system via the department's satellite.

However, before using the satellite system, he needed to find a way to access the communication system. Tony was extremely anxious and didn't have time to hack into it.

“Zhao Chen, call Rod now and ask him to tell us his system account and password.”

While Tony was speaking, his hands were also typing away on the keyboard. Before Tony could finish speaking, Zhao Chen made the call, because Zhao Chen knew that Tony would definitely need it.

So at this point, Zhao Chen already knew Rhodes' account and password. He was speechless at the account and password because he felt they were very childish.

Once inside the satellite system, Tony managed to gather all the company's information and data within minutes.

Then they saw videos of human modification, as well as many files, which were of soldiers who participated in the modification.

The bombings that occurred all matched the soldiers listed in these files.

"It was them. After Killian's company developed this thing, they sold it to the Mandarin at a very high price."

Whether Killian was actually sold to the Mandarin or not, Zhao Chen and his group didn't know; it was just Tony's speculation.

Tony deduced this conclusion based on the existing clues, but Natasha, who was standing next to him, thought it was not like that.

“Tony, no, Killian has already secured investment from the department, brought out this project, and then brought out the experimental subjects with successfully modified human bodies.”

“Killian has no need to deal with terrorists like the Mandarin. Your assumption is unreasonable. You should know best what kind of people are in the department. They are absolutely willing to spend a lot of money.”

After Natasha finished speaking, Hawkeye added something.

"I think they're all in cahoots, just like Hydra before. They're all terrorists. The Mandarin must have a source for releasing the video."

“If we trace their origins now, and then combine that with the company’s routers and emails, we can definitely get new leads.”

After saying this, Natasha and Hawkeye joined in, while Zhao Chen and Thor watched from the sidelines, looking like idiots compared to Hawkeye and Natasha.

“These things don’t exist in Asgard, and I’ve never had any contact with them. They’re…”

As he spoke, Zuo Er glanced at Zhao Chen, while simultaneously mimicking Tony's keyboard-typing motion.

"By the way, big brother, you..."

The moment he finished speaking, Zhao Chen kicked him away. Zhao Chen realized that Killian's team was much stronger than he had seen in the previous storyline.

Chapter 809 Tricked by Terrorists

Zhao Chen felt that it was because of his appearance that the Avengers became much stronger than before, so their opponents would also become stronger.

The department invests a lot of money in the organizations that serve the troops, so Killian and his team had plenty of funds. With sufficient funds, they were able to develop the prototype of artificial intelligence.

Of course, it can't compare to Tony's AI, but it still has the basic features of artificial intelligence.

This makes it very difficult for them to crack the addresses. They have placed a lot of virtual IPs all over the world, and at the same time, they have also placed a lot of smoke bombs.

Tony and his team found a lot of IPs, but they were all fake. They still have no clue about the real IPs and don't know where they are.

This left Tony feeling very helpless, so they could only let Jia Siwei solve and eliminate the problem. Although Jia Siwei was very capable, it still took him more than ten hours.

"The base should be the safest place. Neither they nor the Mandarin should come here. I suspect it's like the Hydra before."

“There are people from Killian in the department, and they are working with them from the inside. It’s very likely that they have given them a lot of information.”

Now that Jia Siwei is working there, Tony and Natasha can take a short break. Natasha then shared her analysis.

Seeing Tony standing there, Zhao Chen walked over to Tony and patted him on the shoulder.

“They could have killed Pepper, but they didn’t. They just captured Pepper, which means they must have something they need us to do, or something they need you to do.”

“You don’t need to worry about Pepper’s safety right now. Maybe Pepper is being well taken care of by Killian right now, and we will definitely be able to bring her back safely.”

Tony didn't answer Zhao Chen's words, but stood up instead.

“There’s no point in us staying here. Those terrorists won’t come. It will take Jia Siwei about 12 hours to completely eliminate them.”

"So why don't we go back? Let's go back to our base and have a drink. I haven't had a drink with you guys in ages. A drink will help me fall asleep better."

They revealed the location of the military base, hoping to lure terrorist organizations there so they could reap the benefits. They never imagined they'd be the ones who got tricked.

This also made them feel very down. After Tony finished speaking, they returned to the base together, and the Avengers men were now sitting on the roof drinking.

Banner had been working at the base, and today all the men at the base went out drinking. Thor saw Banner there and dragged him over with them.

“It’s my fault for not taking good care of them. Just a few days ago, Killian came to my company to express his company’s desire to cooperate with Stark Industries.”

“Happy was standing next to Pepper when he met with Killian, and then Happy called me and said that Killian didn’t look like a good guy.”

At this point, Tony raised his glass and downed it in one gulp, then continued speaking.

“Happy told me he wanted to track Killian. Zhao Chen, you should know that Happy can be too sensitive sometimes, and at that time all my attention was focused on the nanotech armor.”

·· ······Requesting flowers··· ·

"So I didn't listen to a word Happy said. Now that I think about it, it's because I didn't care enough that they got into trouble."

Banner spends all his time working at the base, either working or being with Betty Ross. I don't know what happened between them.

"What happened to you guys? Weren't you out catching terrorists? How come Pepper got into trouble too?"

"Hurry up and drink your wine, drinking won't shut you up."

As he spoke, Saul shoved the drink from Banner's hand into his mouth.

... ..... ...

"This is not your fault. Scientists are all like this. Once they start working, they focus all their attention on their work."

“You’re not paying attention to what’s going on around you, Tony, so you don’t need to blame yourself at all. I’m telling you this so that you can spend some time with the people around you.”

"You can't let your mind be constantly thinking about how to invent something good or how to change the world?"

“We are very different. Natasha and I have the same goals, so it’s okay for me to be engrossed in work all day, but Pepper is not.”

Zhao Chen offered words of comfort, and a bitter smile appeared on Tuo Ni's face. She poured some more wine into her glass, and then clinked glasses with Zhao Chen.

"You probably don't know how Happy and I met, right?"

"You said."

“We’ve known each other for 18 years, back when Happy had just returned from the army.”

"At that time, he had a girlfriend who was very beautiful and was also a reporter."
