Under the watchful eyes of everyone at the birthday party, Rod and Tony exchanged blows, like they were playing a barbarian turn-based game.

"If you want this armor, then take it!"

Tony knocked Rhodes down again and casually said that in terms of experience in controlling a character, he was far superior to Rhodes.

Rhodes was also enraged, and his steel fist slammed into Tony's face repeatedly!

Pepper tried to stop it from the side, but this thing was far beyond what a weak woman like her could handle.

Natasha remained calm and composed. After observing the scene briefly, she walked out of the villa, intending to report the situation to Nick Fury in detail.

During the fight, Tony was accidentally hit by a heavy table, which smashed the fireplace, and he was almost stuck inside.

The steel armor lay prone in the raging flames, its blue-glowing eyes appearing unusually gloomy.

Tony raised his arm, aiming the Arc Pulse Palm Cannon at Rhodes.

Rhodes was not to be outdone, and he too began to prepare his palm strike.

"Put your hands down, Tony. We don't need to fight here."

"If you want to be a war machine, then fire!"

Tony seemed to be deliberately creating conflict, his words filled with provocation.

The two were about to fire energy beams at each other!

Suddenly!

A figure appeared in the hall at some unknown time, moving so fast that even Jarvis's radar detection system could not detect it.

The newcomer hovered in mid-air, with golden-brown curly hair, a blue bodysuit that accentuated her voluptuous figure, and a blood-red cape fluttering in the wind.

"Lu?"

Tony looked at that familiar figure and his eyes welled up with tears. He was afraid that he was hallucinating because he had drunk too much.

No one knows how much pressure he was under during this period. Sometimes he even felt that his poor health meant he wouldn't live to see Lu Yunmeng return.

After all, in the comics, it takes Superman a very long time to absorb the energy of a star.

"Boss, long time no see. How have you been lately? Oh, I asked a stupid question. You don't seem to be doing so well."

Lu Yunmeng's eyes were full of amusement as she quipped humorously.

On her way back to Earth from the atmosphere, she had already used her super hearing and super vision to get a very clear understanding of the situation on site.

"Haha, you're not dead yet! It's so nice to see you again, Lu!"

“If you don’t come back soon, I’ll deduct two years’ salary from your paycheck. You know, Stark Industries doesn’t offer that much paid leave.”

Tony, like a deflated balloon, leaned against the ruins of the broken fireplace and laughed heartily.

His bodyguard is back, and it seems all the pressure has disappeared. Now he just wants to get some sleep and not worry about anything else.

"Don't worry, with me here, neither the military nor the government can take away your inventions."

Lu Yunmeng said with a light laugh, but her eyes were full of determination.

"That's great, I'll be watching." Tony waved his hand lazily, picked up a bottle from the ground, and poured himself a glass.

"Alright, now it's time to address some issues."

Lu Yunmeng's eyes gradually turned cold. She landed steadily on the messy floor, turned her head to look indifferently behind her, and spoke again: "Am I right, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes?"

"Shit!"

Rhodes' pupils suddenly contracted as he felt an extremely terrifying pressure crashing down on him like a tsunami!

I almost knelt on the ground!

This incredibly powerful aura made him feel for a moment that he was facing a massive mountain range!

The mountaintop soars straight into the clouds, making it impossible to see the summit at all!

I'll die! This is a living being's instinctive perception of danger!

Rhodes tried to retreat quickly, but found that he couldn't move an inch!

An invisible force enveloped and squeezed him, and the terrible pressure made the MK3's outer shell creak!

Rhodes let out a painful groan!

This is Superwoman, a terrifying being he absolutely cannot handle!

"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, you've crossed the line!" Lu Yunmeng stared coldly at the little black egg and spoke indifferently.

"I understand that your capabilities are limited, and you have done your best to delay the time when the American military wants to launch a full-scale attack here."

"That's great. After all, you and Tony were good friends in high school, and you've helped each other to get where you are today."

"But as a friend, you're not good enough!"

Rhodes was clearly unconvinced, but under the control of the biological field, he couldn't utter a single word and could only stand stiffly in place like a mummy, his face turning red and white intermittently.

"Don't be unconvinced. It seems like you've been a great help to Tony, but hasn't he also given you preferential treatment in some ways?"

"Whether it's selling high-tech weapons and equipment to the Department of Defense at low prices or condoning those damned bloodsucking politicians to slander his character, Tony has never made things difficult for you."

"It may seem like you're cleaning up his messes, but in reality, he's constantly lowering his standards and boundaries."

"Why?"

"Just because you're one of his few friends? Just because of your position in the military? Does that give you a ridiculous sense of superiority?"

Lu Yunmeng approached Luo De, squinting and staring intently at him, her voice sounding as if it were being squeezed out from between her teeth.

After her words, even the drunken Tony blushed slightly, pretending to be dead and lying silently on the ground. He probably wasn't as good as Lu described; he was quite willful...

Rhodes' pupils contracted slightly as he also fell into deep thought, wondering if he had overlooked something that was right in front of him.

"I said you're not qualified to be a friend, because your friend is about to kick the bucket due to poisoning! And you didn't even know?"

"And then, while I was away, you actually came and acted as the military's clown messenger, telling him to take on that damn responsibility?"

Lu Yunmeng appeared extremely indifferent. With a flick of her finger, Rod's MK3 Iron Man armor began to disintegrate!

One by one, the parts were removed intact, floating in the air, finally revealing his body.

This thing is just a giant toy to Superman with his steel body; it poses no obstacle whatsoever.

If she wanted to, with just a thought, Rhodes could be compressed into a ball of flesh.

Although he didn't like this military colonel, he was Tony's best friend since childhood.

"The Iron Man armor is Stark Industries' proprietary technology. Neither the patents nor the production rights are something the military can interfere with."

"Without the permissions Tony granted, do you think you could even wear this suit of armor?"

"I don't like you pretending to be Iron Man, take it off!"

At this moment, Rhodes was completely stunned, his brain shut down and he couldn't react for a long time.

He was internally screaming: You've already taken it off! You've already disassembled it! Isn't it a bit late to tell me this after you've taken it all apart?!

However, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, he looked at Tony, who was pretending to be dead, in surprise.

Poisoned, dying? He had no idea such a thing was happening!

Guilt overwhelmed him instantly, and excruciating pain spread throughout his body.

Lu Yunmeng glanced at him indifferently, waved her hand to disengage the bio-field, and left Rhodes lying on the ground in a daze.

That's all I have to say. Think about the rest yourself.

Chapter 68 Moon Inscription

Why didn't you tell me? You're dying! Why?

Pepper was furious and kept shaking Tony while grabbing him.

She was truly terrified; it was more terrifying than anything else.

Forget Iron Man, forget company profits, forget public responsibility—to hell with all that!

No one is more important than Tony's life!

"Hey, see? This is why I don't want to talk about it."

Seeing his girlfriend's tearful face, Tony felt a pang of sympathy and stopped pretending to be dead. He quickly turned off his mask and comforted her.

"Lu, you really know how to cause me trouble."

He rolled his eyes at Lu Yunmeng, his words showing disgust, but his heart was filled with warmth.

The long-awaited feeling of care from his good brother made him realize that it was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Tony, let me help you relieve the symptoms of palladium poisoning first."

Lu Yunmeng walked over, squatted down, raised her palm and placed it on Tony's head, and whispered.

"What? You can cure this?"

"Oh my god, Lu, you're amazing! This is the best news I've heard all day!"

Tony was very surprised, then burst into laughter. Unlike the bitter laugh he usually gave to vent his emotions, this time it was genuine joy.

God knows how many combinations of elements he tried, but he couldn't find a solution to palladium poisoning.

"It might hurt a little, just bear with it."

Lu Yunmeng ignored Tony and focused on channeling her bio-energy into his body.

Since entering the later stages of the Steel Body development, theoretically, mutated biological energy can absorb and neutralize any substance.

However, this was the first time she had ever performed such a delicate procedure that penetrated blood vessels and nerves.

Fortunately, with the combination of super vision, X-ray vision, and a super brain, even the most complex structures can be quickly analyzed.

"Hey, no problem. What could be more terrifying than a slow death, you tell me..."

Tony shrugged nonchalantly, but choked up before he could finish speaking.

His face visibly turned red, and under Pepper's tense gaze, he suddenly let out a painful scream!

"Ahhhh!!!"
