"That's what you said to me last time!"

Nick complained, "I can't help it. You know, the bureau has been busy dealing with the Roxxon Energy issue lately, and they've also assigned some personnel to investigate that man named Wenwu you mentioned. John's dead, and they need help everywhere. I want a vacation, but can't I stay here and work?"

Natasha felt a little guilty when she heard this. Strictly speaking, John Garrett died at the hands of her boss.

When fighting with Wenwu, Dane didn't notice that in addition to the terrorists from the Ten Rings Gang, there was also an unconscious person on the ferry.

John Garrett can be said to be the senior agent who died the most miserable death, but Nick did not blame Natasha for it.

According to the results of the on-site investigation conducted by other members later, after Natasha left, new super-powered people appeared at the scene and fought against the so-called "civil and military" people. This battle directly led to the disintegration of the ferry.

Even if Natasha chose to stay on the ship, there would be no other result except the death of another senior agent. From this point of view, her early evacuation was actually a very smart judgment.

Because of the existence of the Hulk and the Minotaur, Nick has become very receptive to the increasing number of people with super powers in the world. Therefore, he was not very shocked by the appearance of "Wenwu". If he was real, S.H.I.E.L.D. would always find clues if they were determined to investigate.

But the other unidentified person with special abilities is a bit troublesome. If the other party does not show up on his own initiative, they don’t even have a direction to investigate.

This also made Nick feel more anxious that the "Avengers Plan" should be stepped up.

"After this mission is completed, I request double vacation time!"

"No problem!" Nick agreed immediately.

After discussing the terms, Natasha turned and left.

Nick watched her leave with a look of relief in his eyes.

He didn't mind Natasha bargaining with him, because what they were talking about was not cold things like interests, but warm feelings. No matter how much Natasha complained, she never compromised on the work she was supposed to do.

"Maybe she should really be given a vacation..." You have to know that Natasha has not been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for long, but she has completed many tasks. A vacation is a very reasonable request.

But what he didn't know was that after leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha turned around and went to a secret laboratory somewhere in Umbrella.

"I'm here to pick up my new medicine. You promised me!"

Dane, who was busy dealing with Roxon-related matters, waved at her without even looking at her and told her to go straight into the operating room.

Natasha had no choice but to do as he said. As soon as she entered the operating room, she froze.

Because she saw a girl standing in the operating room, her name was Antonia, and she seemed to have recovered.

"Are you Natasha?" Antonia said in a low voice with a blank expression.

Natasha nodded woodenly, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't open her mouth.

"I'll be in charge of your surgery."

Natasha suddenly had an inexplicable thought in her mind: Could it be that the boss finally couldn't stand her anymore and was planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife?

But she owed it to Antonia, and she could not shirk it.

So Natasha walked into the operating room with a gloomy face and a fearless attitude.

"Change your clothes before we start." Antonia said in a flat tone, pointing to the folded hospital gown at hand.

"Change here?"

"Yes, change here."

They were all women, so there was nothing wrong with it, but Natasha always felt insecure and a little inexplicably ashamed in front of Antonia.

But under the other party's cold gaze, she finally changed her clothes.

"Lie in bed."

Natasha lay down as she was told, and then she saw Antonia press a button beside the bed. Several "click" sounds were heard. Natasha quickly looked down and found that her wrists and ankles were handcuffed with metal, and her heart immediately sank.

"Wait...wait!" She saw Antonia wearing a mask and cold sweat broke out all over her body.

But Antonia was unmoved. She turned around and took out a syringe. Natasha didn't know what liquid was in it, and she didn't dare to think about it.

With a gentle push to dislodge the air, Antonia quickly inserted the needle into Natasha's arm, pushing the liquid into her body.

It was not as painful as she had imagined, but Natasha found herself suddenly feeling a little drowsy. She realized that this might be a drug like anesthetic.

The irresistible sleepiness invaded her brain, and Natasha finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

Dane took the time to come in and take a look, frowning slightly when he saw the situation: "Does this operation require anesthesia?"

Antonia was anesthetized because her brain needed to be debridement surgery, but Natasha did not need this.

The overall process of this experiment is similar to the one Steve experienced. The serum is directly injected, and then energy is transferred in the culture chamber.

Although this job requires high technology, the operation process is fool-proof and anyone can do it.

In response to Dane's question, Antonia calmly replied, "No, but she's afraid of pain."

Afraid of pain? Natasha? Dane's face looked strange.

"In that case, I'll leave the rest to you. I still have things to do."

"Yes," Antonia replied calmly as always.

After walking out of the operating room, Dane thought for a moment and said, "Cortana, keep an eye on her. Don't let her kill Natasha."

"Got it, Dane."

Meanwhile, at Hammer Industries, Justin is harping on Ivan Vanko at work.

"Dude, you might be tech-savvy, but you don't know marketing. Do you even know marketing? You should be an Iron Man like Stark!"

"Iron Man?" Ivan said disdainfully, "Like him, making an iron shell and enclosing yourself in it? That's simply ridiculous!"

What he despised the most was this design. In order to put a person into the mecha, the armor had to be equipped with many additional life-support devices to maintain human survival, and it also took up a lot of space.

If you have the time, it would be great to have a few more missiles!

But Justin's thinking is not on the same level as Ivan's.

"But it's cool, isn't it? You don't understand, this is what makes Stark so great. Iron Man makes people all over the world admire him, which is more important than weapons."

Ivan frowned: "What's the use of this?"

Justin's eyes flashed. "Its purpose is to increase popularity. Automatic robots can only gain the favor of the military, but Iron Man will win the hearts of the people!"

I have to say, Justin is something, not just a clown chasing Tony Stark.

He certainly knew that in terms of practicality in warfare, automated robots were clearly superior.

But what Iron Man represents is not just military force, it also represents national attention, popularity, and topics. These things will not only make more passers-by like them, but also represent another more important thing.

Chapter 794 Hammer Drone Appears

Umbrella expressed great concern about Hammer Industries' actions.

Dane knew about Ivan Vanko's affairs. He also had several black widows buried in Russia and had received the news that the guy had escaped from prison a long time ago.

But he didn't stop the other party from working with Justin Hammer.

Ivan Vanko is indeed a genius in mechanical engineering, but at the same time, this guy is also an unruly lone wolf who is almost impossible to tame.

Dane can certainly use his abilities to control him, but this kind of control cannot allow Ivan to display his genius and creativity. Lack of freedom of thought will stifle a person's creativity, as Dane has already proved.

Therefore, if what is needed are long-term loyal subordinates, using hormone ability to control them is not a wise choice. If a person loses his subjective initiative, his efficiency will be greatly reduced. Therefore, he has been trying his best to avoid this.

But when fighting against the enemy, this trick is still as useful as ever.

Time quickly came to the day of the Hammersmith Industrial Expo. I don’t know if it was learned from the Stark family, but Justin turned the technology expo into a large stage show.

In order to promote his new energy project, Tony Stark held a grand expo in Flushing, New York.

He dropped from the sky in an iron suit in a very cool manner. When Iron Man landed in the center of the stage in a "superhero landing" posture, the cheers from the audience almost overturned the entire stage.

Iron Man has become a superstar, and Tony Stark has fully displayed his personal charm to the American audience.

Beautiful women, mechas, dynamic music, and cool stages are the magic weapons to attract passers-by. Although Justin is just repeating others, it seems that the effect is still very good now.

The huge screen that occupied the entire field of vision projected cool light and shadow effects. On the stage, a group of beautiful girls with supermodel figures shook their shoulders and twisted their hips, which was breathtaking.

To the playful jazz music, Justin also danced his own dance steps. It didn't matter whether his dance moves were standard or not, but he had to be sexy enough to maximize the entertainment effect.

He seemed to be intentionally imitating Tony Stark and wanted to show his humor, but it has to be said that compared to the shocking effect of Iron Man's appearance, Justin was far inferior.

Justin Hammer had a standard fake smile on his face, but he was very annoyed in his heart.

He tried his best to persuade Ivan Vanko, but the damn Slavic bastard did not accept his advice to create a new Iron Man suit. He ignored his request!

Damn it, if I didn't need your skills, I wouldn't be serving you! Just wait, when you're no longer useful, I'll torture you to death!

Justin, who was feeling angry, had a fake smile on his face that became even brighter. Although his appearance was not satisfactory, he pretended to be unconcerned and walked to the center of the stage with twisted dance moves.

The music ended just at this moment, and the beautiful dancers behind him took their bows and retreated.

Justin applauded and said into the microphone: "Thank you, thank you!"

After his dance partners left, he began his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for too long this nation has had to put her brave sons and daughters in harm's way..."

He first spoke a lot of moral principles from a moral perspective, and then quickly directed his criticism at Iron Man.

"Then Iron Man came along, and we thought the days of sacrificing our lives were behind us, but sadly, that technology is out of our reach. That's not fair, is it?"

Justin's words resonated with many military leaders present. They didn't care about patented technology or anything like that. They just wanted this thing, but Tony Stark didn't give it to them. That was his fault!

Dane was also present. Although there had been some minor rifts between Umbrella and Hammer Industries before, it did not affect his acceptance of the invitation.

Because he knew how the story would develop next, he didn't let Pepper come along just in case, but he arranged Umbrella's security team outside the venue, ready to respond at any time.

When the battle starts, Umbrella's troops will immediately move in to protect the people here.

All those who could enter the inner field were high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the favor of saving their lives was of great value.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please open your eyes, I am going to introduce to you the new face of the American military."

"—Hammer Drone!"

A military song suddenly sounded on the stage. Following Justin's introduction, humanoid automated mechas from the four branches of the military—the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps—appeared...

This guy even specially compiled a medley of representative military songs from the four branches of the military. Dane couldn't help but sigh that Hammer's best future lies in entertainment.

Looking at those majestic robots, each one is estimated to be about two meters tall, and just looking at them gives people a very reliable feeling.

At this time in the original movie, Justin had invited War Machine Rhodes to be the commander of the drone, but now because Tony Stark had solved the problem of palladium poisoning in advance, there was no conflict with Rhodes, so the incident of him "stealing" a set of battle suits did not happen.

This is also the reason why Justin is very annoyed with Ivan. If they are all robots, it always feels like something is missing.

If all warfare were left to robots, wouldn't humans have any role to play? Soldiers would surely be upset.

Fortunately, when Justin was about to continue his boasting, the roar of an aircraft was heard in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a cluster of fire approaching rapidly in the darkness.

Those who thought of something immediately stood up excitedly. A few seconds later, a red and gold figure heroically landed on the ground. It was Iron Man!

Everyone at the scene stood up and applause broke out again, flooding the venue like a wave.

Justin Hammer's smile was almost unbearable. Damn, he had worked so hard just now, and the applause was not even half of what it was now! Fuck!

Iron Man first waved to the audience, pretending that this was all part of the show, then he opened his mask and smiled.

Then he approached Justin at a speed of 4.2, his expression suddenly changed: "Justin, send your drones back quickly! They are very dangerous!"

He had good intentions in giving advice, but because he was curious about why Hammer Industries was able to develop drones, he made a point of looking it up.

To Jarvis, Hammer Industries' security firewall was no different from a piece of paper.

So he quickly found out that the actual manufacturer of the drone was Ivan Vanko, and then found out that the other party's father was the former Soviet scientist who had developed the Ark Reactor with Howard.

Then Tony Stark followed the clues and found out Ivan Vanko's long criminal record. This guy had committed almost all crimes endangering national security. He was a complete danger!

Justin, that idiot, cooperated with him? Isn't that just helping the evil?

Chapter 795 Emerging

However, Justin did not accept his kindness, thinking that he could not accept the fact that Hammer Industries' technology had surpassed Stark.

So he just sneered: "So... are you afraid? Afraid that Hammer will replace you and become the world's largest military contractor?"

"What are you talking about in your sleep?" Tony's expression of "What are you talking about nonsense" made Justin feel very uncomfortable.

Hammer is no longer the same Hammer!

But Tony quickly realized that Justin must have misunderstood his meaning, so he could only patiently continue to persuade him: "Are you sure you have control of your drone?"
