American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 349 Conflict

Tony didn't know how he woke up.

When he opened his eyes from his ridiculously large, soft bed that could fit four or five women, he was greeted by the jarring sound of a music alarm.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to call me while I'm sleeping, no matter how important it is?"

Lying in bed, Tony held his phone in one hand and answered the call. A strange male voice quickly came from the other end: "Good morning, Mr. Tony."

The caller didn't seem to be fluent in English; his speech had a strong Arabic kebab flavor.

"An Arab?" Tony raised an eyebrow, his expression changing slightly, and he was about to hang up the phone.

The reason was simple: the damn Middle East had left a deep shadow on him, so Tony's hands moved very quickly, and he pressed the hang-up button in an instant.

"Beep beep".

Tony tossed his phone onto the bed and lay back down, but before he could doze off for long, the phone rang again.

"Hey, stop bothering me!"

Tony's angry roar was interrupted by a woman's crying.

"Tony, waaaaah, help me!"

The woman's cries came through the phone, freezing Tony, who was about to yell at her, in his tracks.

The reason is simple: the owner of that voice is none other than his loyal secretary, Little Chili.

"Damn it!" Tony's face darkened visibly. Now, how could he not guess what had happened?

His secretary was kidnapped.

Moreover, the group that kidnapped Chili Pepper is very likely the same group that kidnapped her in the desert.

"What do you want to do?"

Tony stood up from the bed with a cold face, and with a light tap on the air, his loyal AI assistant Jarvis began to analyze the location from which the call came.

"What do you want to do?"

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone: "We heard that Mr. Tony is currently developing a new type of armor."

"We initially invited you to incite us to create a terrifying weapon, but you broke your promise. Now, we want that suit of armor from you!"

Tony's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened to the kidnappers' words.

The other party not only kidnapped Chili Pepper, but also knew about their latest weapon.

If Tony had only suspected Obadiah before, he could now be certain that Obadiah had betrayed him.

"Okay, I understand. Where is the address?"

A glint of light flashed in Tony's mind, and he also made up some ideas and plans.

It's time to confront Obama.

It's time to understand all of this.

"Very good, I just like Mr. Tony's cool personality!" The kidnapper on the other end of the phone smiled with satisfaction. After speaking in broken English, he invited Tony to meet at the south pier at midnight tonight before hanging up the phone.

Of course, the other party also warned Tony not to play any tricks, or they would kill Pepper as punishment.

"call."

Holding his forehead, Tony sat on the edge of the bed. Without a moment's hesitation, he knew that what he needed to do most right now was to take immediate action.

He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.

"Hey, I need your help."

The port of New York City at dusk.

The moored fishing boats swayed from side to side with the waves, and the fishy smell wafting from the deck was enough to make anyone unfamiliar with life by the sea vomit.

In a small warehouse not far from the deck, a woman in a suit was tied to a chair with ropes.

There were tear stains on her cheeks, making her look like she had just been crying.

"You bastards!"

Despite being tied up, Chili still roared at the kidnappers around her.

However, it was clear from the puzzled looks on the kidnappers' faces that most of them did not understand what she was cursing.

"Alright, ma'am, please be quiet."

At the far end of the warehouse, a menacing-looking man with a large beard was staring intently at the screen. When he saw a sports car drive into the harbor shown in the surveillance video, a smug smile spread across his face: "Tony Shit is here!"

He pointed to his two henchmen beside him, who understood and immediately carried the latest weapons developed by Stark Industries outside.

The two men walked out of the warehouse, guns in hand, and knocked on the window of the Lamborghini.

"Buzz~"

The car window rolled down, revealing Tony's cold, expressionless face inside.

"I brought the things; they're in the trunk."

The man pointed to the back of the car, and as he pressed a button, the previously closed trunk opened, revealing a suit of steel armor lying quietly behind the vehicle.

The two kidnappers patted the metal armor, which looked incredibly dazzling and eye-catching.

The two of them worked together to lift the armor off the vehicle; it had to be said, this thing was incredibly heavy.

But this also proves from another angle that this thing is real.

Ignoring the two henchmen who had taken the armor, Tony looked up at the camera on the pole and said, "The stuff is yours now. Release Pepper!"

Time passed slowly, but soon the warehouse door, which had been tightly closed, opened, and Pepper Potts staggered out of the warehouse and rushed towards Tony.

The two embraced and wept, and at the same time, they realized each other's feelings.

"Tony, let's get out of here." Pepper gripped Tony's arm tightly, but she saw Tony slowly but firmly shake his head: "I'm afraid these people won't let us leave so easily."

As he spoke, Tony took a red and gold shield from the car and said to his female companion, "Get behind me."

Seemingly confirming Tony's suspicions, soon, groups of kidnappers armed with firearms rushed out.

Facing an enemy several times his size, Tony tightened his grip on his shield, knowing that a battle was about to begin.

"Buzz~"

A truck from Stark Industries drove into a villa.

"Finally, it's happened!"

Obadiah was standing outside the villa, like a wife waiting for her husband to return home. He watched as his men opened the car door, and the golden armor that Tony had made was quietly placed inside the car.

"Let me see." Obadiah, his eyes filled with fascination, reached out and pressed the nuclear reactor on the chest of his armor.

"Snapped!"

The previously lifeless armor suddenly came to life, reaching out to grab Obadiah's arm: "So, the traitor Mr. Stark was talking about is you!"

A young, innocent voice came from inside the armor, and this sudden change made Obadiah's eyes widen.

Wait, what happened to the armor? How come there's a person inside? What's going on?

"Damn it, Tony!"

Obadiah felt as if his hands were bound by steel, unable to move an inch. Then he heard the person inside the armor say to himself, "Mr. Stark, I've caught the traitor!"

"I'll be there soon!"
