After listening to Melina's story, Dane was surprised to find that Natasha's restoration of freedom was actually planned, with the purpose of allowing her to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

What's funny is that Drakkov actually realized a long time ago that there was the shadow of Hydra behind S.H.I.E.L.D. In order to use Natasha as a chess piece in S.H.I.E.L.D., he deliberately lifted the control over Natasha's brain, making her think that she was inspired by Hawkeye to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

At the same time, he also used Natasha's hand to eliminate the Red House officially established by Russia. This could serve as a token of his allegiance to S.H.I.E.L.D. and eliminate an annoying target, killing two birds with one stone.

Drakev is an extremely conceited guy. Although he was forced to hand over the relevant information on training Black Widow under pressure, he secretly decided to sabotage the official plan.

Thinking about how he lay dormant for such a long time in the movie and only came out to stir up trouble after S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers were shattered, Dane felt that this guy was extremely good at hiding.

It seems that Natasha has been Drakkov's hidden agent in S.H.I.E.L.D. from the very beginning, waiting for him to activate her at some point in the future.

Like the Winter Soldier, even if she temporarily recovers her true self, she can always become a puppet of the mastermind again when needed.

However, Drakoff anticipated that Natasha would come to assassinate him and had made arrangements, but he did not expect Antonia to appear there at that time.

He never imagined that Dane had already set his sights on him.

But thinking of Natasha's performance in the movie, Dane felt that she must have something special.

After all, in the final battle, Natasha, who did not absorb the antidote, still managed to defeat him.

"'When you get back, find a chance to check on her.'"

Melina noticed something was wrong and asked in surprise, "Do you suspect she's really out of control?"

Dane nodded. "Potions aren't omnipotent, are they?"

Melina pondered, it was indeed possible that the first batch of potions she made were actually far less mature than the ones she made later.

As a technician, she focused her main efforts on improving the brain's learning ability when producing the first batch of medicines at that time, unlike now, when strengthening loyalty is basically the top priority.

Moreover, Natasha was already ten years old when she received the injection of the drug. She was the oldest among all the trainees and had the strongest will, so there was indeed a great possibility that she could break free from the control of the drug on her own.

Thinking of this, Dane had an idea in his mind. After all, Natasha was one of the protagonists, so it was reasonable for her to have a bit of halo around her.

After the plane landed in New York, Dane immediately arranged for people to take all the Black Widows to Hell's Kitchen. With Kingpin's help in covering up, even Nick Fury found it difficult to find these women.

In Jin Bing's human trade, Slavic women are the best-selling and account for the largest proportion. Even if they are discovered, it is just commonplace.

That's why Dane wanted to keep him alive, he was really good at using it.

Chapter 722: Kill!

In the middle east, in a cave somewhere in the Gobi Desert.

The young leader of the "Ten Commandments Gang" stared at the monitor, as if he was watching something very novel.

He was looking at the armor made by Tony Stark and knew that it was definitely not any type of weapon known on the market.

It is impossible for a situation like in the movie where Tony is creating something but the terrorists are completely unaware of it to happen in reality.

Even if these people don't understand chemistry or high-energy physics, they are not blind. It is impossible that they can't see what Tony Stana created looks like.

You have to know that the first version of the Iron Man armor was very rough, and its shape was very similar to medieval plate armor, which was obvious at a glance.

Not to mention that in order to prevent the skin from being rubbed when worn, they also invented leather armor lining. If they don’t even know this, those people are not only blind, but also mentally retarded.

Besides, there are cameras everywhere in Tony's weapons manufacturing workshop, and there are very few blind spots. He has no conditions to manufacture them secretly, so he can only choose to make the battle suits openly.

The little boss was a connoisseur. When he found out that what Tony made was not a missile but a battle suit, he did not have him arrested and beaten. Instead, he allowed him to continue making it and continued to meet his every request as before.

Tony Stark has never made cold weapons, and a suit of medieval armor is unlikely to help him out of his current predicament.

The little leader knew that there must be something else behind that rough battle suit.

Under the pile of crudely made 650 iron sheets were countless integrated circuits and engineering power devices. Although the little leader could not understand the structure and principles, he still thought of one thing - power armor!

The concept of power armor was proposed a long time ago, but until today, power armor can only be used as a weight-bearing tool and cannot be used in actual combat.

No country can produce power armor that can truly be used as a weapon, but what if it is Stark?

What if the person who created it was the world-renowned genius Tony Stark? Could he create a surprise?

The little boss was very excited, so he pretended not to know Tony's plan and waited for him to create a miracle.

And Tony did not disappoint his expectations. With the help of Dr. Ethan, the design of the battle suit progressed rapidly. He found many usable parts from the missiles produced by Stark Military Industries.

After reasonable reconstruction and transformation, they became parts of the battle suit and were completely reshaped into something else.

Tony knew his movements were being watched, that the people behind the cameras were definitely eyeing his suit, but he didn't care. Even if the Ten Rings could guess what he was doing, they couldn't predict when the suit would be finished. The limbs, torso, and head were all made separately, and only he... and Ethan knew if they were complete.

Moreover, only the arc reactor on Tony's chest can provide the energy needed for the suit to operate. Even if the suit is taken away by terrorists, they will not be able to activate it.

In the early morning of that night, when the sky outside the cave was about to brighten, and people were most sleepy, Tony opened his eyes.

At the same time, Ethan also opened his eyes. The two were very close to each other and looked at each other. Everything was said without words.

They stood up at the same time. The studio was far away from the people outside, and as long as they didn't make too much noise, they wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

Tony stood still while Ethan silently helped him put on his armor, which took an hour to complete.

By the time Tony was fully dressed, it was already bright outside, and the man guarding the monitoring room suddenly woke up from his dream with a start.

When he looked at the monitor, he thought he was still dreaming and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

"What the hell is this! Call the boss over here!"

The little boss was not far from the monitoring room. When he heard the noise, he immediately woke up and got out of bed.

"what happen?"

"Boss! Check the surveillance!"

The little boss' heart skipped a beat and he rushed to the surveillance screen. He was shocked to see that Tony Stark had finished putting on the power armor.

"Everyone! Prepare for battle!" he roared.

He was still fooled by Stark! He had already completed the power armor!

But at this time, only a few people remained awake, and more people were still asleep. They were awakened by the voice of the little leader and hurriedly reached for the weapons around them.

People like them who live on the edge of a knife always keep their weapons at hand and never put them down even when eating, sleeping, or going to the toilet.

But this time, even guns and ammunition can no longer give them a sense of security, because "it" has come!

A tall steel giant broke open the closed door and stared at everyone coldly.

"Fire!"

The little boss screamed at the top of his lungs.

But Tony had already taken action. He punched the nearest terrorist in the face. With a "bang", the opponent's brain exploded like a watermelon.

At the same time, countless brass bullets crackled and hit him. Tony could only turn around and try to face the rain of bullets head-on.

The first generation of battle suits had many flaws. First of all, the material was very poor, which resulted in the suit's structural strength being insufficient. In order to ensure that this fragile metal could protect itself from being injured by vibrations, Tony could only rack his brains to find a way to change the shape and structure of the metal so that the impact energy could be evenly distributed on every inch of steel.

The principle is like an egg, which changes its internal mechanical structure by changing its physical shape, turning concentrated loads into distributed loads, which makes the external forces be amplified.

Tony inside will only be subjected to a small amount of force, preventing him from being killed by the vibration of the metal.

Compared with cold nuclear fusion, Tony's idea on the shock absorption system is a truly epoch-making invention, because this structural system can be widely used in various fields, and many technologies that are limited by material strength are no longer unfeasible fantasies.

If Tony Stark wanted, he could even make cables for a space elevator out of materials available on Earth.

But this may be a major blow to materials science, but a victory for structural mechanics!

But no matter what, due to limited conditions, Tony can only expose some parts and hide them in the lower back. Once shot there, it will affect the entire structure of the suit.

So he had to face the enemy head-on and hide the weakness of the defensive midfielder.

Fortunately, these terrorists were frightened by his previous move and stopped their actions, staring at him in a daze.

Tony used his tall body supported by his battle suit to block the door and protect Ethan behind him. He raised his other arm and a grenade flew out and exploded in the crowd.

Suddenly, a group of people ran around crying and screaming, while Tony strode forward and no one in front dared to stop him.

It can only be said that he chose the right time. Many mercenaries didn't react at all. The camp was directly blown up at this time, which made it easier for Tony and Ethan to escape.

But not everyone has lost their minds.

The little boss calmly hid in the crowd and aimed his grenade launcher at the Iron Giant.

Tony had no sixth sense, nor any artificial intelligence to help him notice the dangers around him, and was blown away by the flying grenade without knowing it.

Ethan was also blown away at the same time, his flesh and blood body was directly pushed out by the shock wave.

"Ethan!"

Tony was very anxious and quickly locked the culprit, then raised his hands and two fire snakes spewed out from the nozzles under his arms.

Seeing this, the little leader quickly dropped the grenade launcher and fled the scene.

Countless running terrorists were instantly ignited by the flames, with the fuel sticking to their bodies, forming an unextinguishable fire!

A group of unlucky guys with flames all over their bodies were howling like ghosts and wolves, blocking Tony's sight, and the little boss managed to escape successfully.

Tony ignored him and immediately ran to Ethan and helped him up carefully.

"Ethan, come with me!"

"I'm already here..."

Upon hearing this, Tony looked down and saw that Ethan's abdomen was covered in blood and flesh, with part of his intestines exposed.

"No, no, Ethan, it shouldn't be like this...!"

Tony looked sad: "Don't you still want to see your family? You can't die!"

"I'm going to see my family now, Tony, don't be sad, this is my choice, and... don't waste your talent..." After saying that, Ethan died.

Tony was stunned. Only then did he realize that Ethan's family had died a long time ago, and he, like himself, had always been alone.

He was blinded by anger and turned around to look at all the mercenaries angrily.

"Go to hell!"

Chapter 723 Big News

Tony Stark was finally found. S.H.I.E.L.D. had been keeping an eye on the Middle East, and the commotion he caused in the cave quickly caught their attention.

When he detonated the terrorist base and destroyed the munitions facilities stored there, he immediately attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Because Tony's suit is not perfect in all aspects, its combat time is only fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, the suit will stop working regardless of whether he takes it off or not.

Fortunately, he managed to escape from the cave base in time, but his suit disintegrated due to excessive metal fatigue.

Fortunately, he caused an explosion in the cave, which gave the terrorists no time to search for him and bought more time for SHIELD to find him.

"Tony! Thank God you finally returned safely!"

Obadiah's face showed a perfect mixture of surprise and fear, and he threw Tony into a bear hug.

But where Tony couldn't see, he showed an expression of disgust on his face, and did not hide his malice.

Tony didn't know this, and he was very touched. After his parents passed away, Obadiah became the closest person to him. He not only helped him stabilize the company, but also tolerated his strange temper.

Obadiah found that Tony, who always disliked closeness with the same sex, actually hugged him back tightly. A strange expression appeared on his face. When he heard what Tony said, his expression became even stranger.

"I'm finally back, Uncle, it's great..."

Obadiah asked worriedly, "Are you really okay? Do you want to see a private doctor to check your brain?"

The previous Tony Stark would never have said such disgusting words, which really disgusted Obadiah.

What the hell! Who is so close to you?

His heart was filled with negative emotions, but Obadiah's face did not show any abnormality. Instead, he acted as if he was very relieved.

"It seems like you've really grown up after this ordeal. If Howard were still here, how happy he would be..."

As he spoke, Obadiah choked up a bit, acting as if he had a deep relationship with Howard. His Oscar-winning acting skills made it impossible to tell that he was filled with hatred.

Tony was even more moved...

At this time, the bodyguard Happy came over without any expression: "Tony, are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something?"

Tony was a little annoyed. He had just started to express some emotions, but this immediately ruined his mood.

But when his eyes swept over a woman, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Who is this lady? I don't think I've seen you before?"

He's not exaggerating, but there are very few beautiful women he hasn't slept with that he can't remember.
