I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

His electric whip lashed out at Hao Longtao.

Hao Longtao grabbed the electric whip and pulled hard, the immense force pulling Ivan Vanko, the whip-wielding man, towards him.

A hand moved with lightning speed, grabbing Ivan Vanko by the neck.

"Tony, is this the enemy that has brought you to such a sorry state?"

Hao Longtao didn't even give Tony Stark time to react.

Use gentle pressure.

While struggling, Ivan Vanko's neck was snapped by the whip, and his body slumped limply.

Hao Longtao tossed it aside casually.

"Hao, he's not my enemy. I can handle him myself."

Tony Stark took a step back, assuming a defensive stance.

He looked at Hao Longtao warily.

War Machine Colonel James Roddy also watched the mysterious man before him with wariness.

At the same time, with the help of artificial intelligence, he quickly identified the person who came.

Hao Longtao is the chairman of the Osborn Group and a shareholder of Stark Industries.

There is only one simple message.

"He doesn't deserve to die."

Tony Stark looked at Ivan Vanko with a regretful expression.

“Tony, you have no idea how many people are eyeing the Arc Reactor you control. If I keep him alive, I might be tempted to take the technology from Ivan Vanko. However, I am still a shareholder of Stark Industries, and doing so would inevitably embarrass you.”

Hao Longtao shrugged.

"With the acquisition of Tesla Lighting Energy Group, you have captured 26% of the US electricity market. If you can obtain the Arc Reactor technology, Osborn does indeed have the potential to surpass Stark Industries."

Tony Stark was well aware of how much profit he would lose by abandoning this technology.

"Market value is all an illusion. Osborne has its own new energy technology, which, although not as advanced as your Arc Reactor, is clean and safe."

Hao Longtao stared at the reactor on Tony's chest.

"You're going to die, Tony."

In one sentence, Tony Stark's tension and vigilance were dispelled.

Colonel James Rhodes wanted to say something more.

A stream of water sent him flying.

Tony Stark raised his hands, aiming the laser cannon at Hao Longtao.

"Don't worry, he won't die. I'm just putting him to temporary unconsciousness."

Hao Longtao gave a faint smile.

“I can save you, but it’s clear you’re very wary of me as your collaborator. However, your so-called wariness is unnecessary. The moment you learned my identity, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have needed to concoct any scheme.”

Hao Longtao's words made Tony Stark put his hand down.

Moreover, Tony was smart enough to step out of his armor.

I adjusted my eyes and walked up to Hao Longtao.

"Hao, how did you know I was about to die?"

Tony Stark asked curiously.

"The arc reactor is a good nuclear fusion technology, but it's not without nuclear radiation, just very weak. For an ordinary person, even if they come into contact with it, it won't harm their body. But buddy, the arc reactor has become part of your body. You're in contact with it every day. If you say it hasn't endangered your life, who are you kidding?"

Tony Stark gave a wry smile: "The real problem isn't the Arc Reactor. I need a strong magnetic force to attract the shrapnel inside my body. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to carry the Arc Reactor around every day."

“You create a ‘Jarvis’ AI for me, and I will remove the shrapnel from your body and purify the toxins from your body.”

Hao Longtao said bluntly.

"Jarvis? What do you need an artificial intelligence system for?"

Tony Stark warned.

"Of course, it's to easily take control of my company. By the way, don't leave me any backdoors, otherwise, you should know the consequences of deceiving the devil."

Hao Longtao gave a friendly smile.

Tony Stark looked thoughtful.

"Can you really remove the shrapnel and clear the toxins from my body?"

What is this ice demon before me? It's not some angel.

"Removing the shrapnel is very simple."

Hao Longtao placed his hand on Tony Stark's chest, and Tony Stark suddenly felt an intense coldness in his heart.

Even the heart was frozen.

Suddenly, a large number of shrapnel bullets pierced through his chest.

However, it was enveloped by the water flow.

Tony Stark, however, felt no pain whatsoever.

The next second, he felt a warm current in his heart.

The temperature returned to normal.

However, the split wound was held together by the water flow and no blood flowed out.

The flow of water even accelerated the healing process.

However, a large amount of black liquid flowed from his chest.

The toxins that have spread throughout the body are quickly eliminated.

"Alright, the only problem now is the huge hole in your chest. If you want to recover, you can have surgery. As for continuing to wear the arc reactor, I suggest you find a completely new element to replace it."

Black matter floated in Hao Longtao's palm.

Tiny shrapnel fragments were enveloped by the water flow.

Tony Stark felt completely refreshed and inexplicably relaxed.

"Remember, once the AI ​​system is manufactured, notify Raven, the vice president of the Osborn Group, and have her go to receive it."

After Hao Longtao finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of water and soared into the sky.

He has now mastered three types of flight abilities.

Water flow impact flight method.

Frozen fruit mimics flight.

And flying powered by flames.

The best way to fly is naturally through flames.

But by creating a flow of water to generate thrust, he can fly through the air, not much slower than flames.

"I'm all set?"

Tony Stark asked and answered his own question.

"Jarvis, scan the body."

"Sir, the toxins in your body have dropped to zero, and your health index is normal. The shrapnel in your body has been removed. However, there is a minor wound in your chest that will take three days to heal. But there is a peculiar energy at the wound site that is accelerating the healing of the cells."

Jarvis's voice rang out.

Tony Stark glanced at Ivan Vanko.

He walked over and took out the energy core.

As for his armor, someone naturally cleaned it up.

Don your armor, stand before Colonel James Roddy, and wake him.

Colonel James Roddy was completely bewildered.

After the two left.

A large number of armed men surrounded the park and took away Ivan Vanko and even the remains of the robot.

These people are neither Hammer Corporation nor Stark Industries.

It was the Osborne Group.

Hao Longtao only needed to inform Dr. Octopus, and he showed great interest.

Tony Stark is recovering.

I wonder what Nick Fury used to entice him to join S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Ivan Vanko, the Whip-Chairman, was a top scientist; it's a pity he was killed.

However, he could not utilize the talent.

If you die, you will die.

To prevent him from continuing to cause destruction in New York.

Hao Longtao returned to his villa to rest.

Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Nick Fury's face was grim.

Looking at the footage coming from the video.

He could even hear their conversation clearly.

"If Tony creates an AI system for the Ice Demon, it will be a disaster for us."

Nick Fury knew very well just how powerful Jarvis was.

It is still a weak artificial intelligence system.

But while S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secrets could hold Jarvis back, they couldn't hold Jarvis back once he fell into Hao Longtao's hands.

The Ice Demon can invade the network with impunity and search for more information.

Hill stood to the side, remaining silent.

"News has come from Brazil that Professor Bruce's whereabouts have been found."

Agent Hill still relayed the news to Nick Fury.

The Hulk is a top-tier fighter.

But this beast is difficult to control.

And can it really deal with the Ice Demon?

"Professor X will help me persuade the Hulk to join the Avengers. But the Avengers are still severely lacking in members: Hawkeye, Natasha, Steve, and the Hulk. Reed is a good candidate, but he's also in trouble; Victor von Doom has already given the Fantastic Four a lot of headaches."

Nick Fury lists the members he has come into contact with.

"Where is Namo, the sea creature we encountered?"

Agent Hill thought of Namor, a half-human, half-sea creature from Atlantis whom they had encountered at sea.

“Namo is someone who doesn’t want to get involved in the human world.”

"Black Bolt, an Inhuman from the moon?"

Agent Hill continued questioning.

Nick Fury remained silent.

Black Bolt's power is beyond question.

His power is infrasound.

He could easily destroy a building simply by speaking.

He was the king of an alien race living on the far side of the moon, who, for some unknown reason, ended up on Earth.
