"Damn it..."
Mark was somewhat helpless; this was clearly a magical power, somewhat beyond his current understanding.
If he possessed superhuman strength, he could certainly overcome all obstacles with sheer force and directly destroy everything through violence.
However, he is currently just a knock-off version of Superman and obviously cannot do that yet.
"Drip drip!"
Just then, a piercing alarm sounded from above.
It must have been those ninjas from the Hand and Harmony faction who discovered the intruders and killed their comrades.
"Let's leave here for now and come back when we find a way to break this seal!"
Feeling that most of the energy in his body had been used up, Mark quickly made a decision.
"Whoosh!"
His figure soared into the air and quickly flew out of the shaft.
"Ah, there's one here..."
Just then, two ninjas came down to check the situation. They saw Mark and were about to exclaim in surprise when they saw Mark's eyes suddenly glow red.
"boom!"
The heat of their gazes burned through their throats almost instantly, and their words were stuck in their throats.
Chapter 120 Tony's Reaction
Mark returned to the basement level and saw more ninjas rushing out of the rooms, intending to find the intruder.
Mark had just come up from below when he bumped into the ninjas.
Upon seeing Mark, a stranger, they immediately and without hesitation launched an attack on him.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Kunai, shuriken, poison needles and other hidden weapons were thrown at him in droves.
"Da da da……"
There were also ninjas with guns who pulled the triggers on Mark.
A bio-force field enveloped Mark's entire body, blocking all of these attacks.
He then unleashed a heat glare from his eyes, killing the two ninjas blocking his way, before dashing upstairs in a flash.
Mark had used up a lot of his energy to break the seal, so he was no longer fit to continue fighting these ninjas.
"Stop him!"
A large group of ninjas shouted as they chased after Mark.
Although they had just witnessed Mark's terrifying strength, these ninjas had all undergone brainwashing training and were completely fearless of death.
Mark ignored the pursuers behind him.
However, if someone tries to stop him, he will either burn their throat with his hot gaze or punch them away.
With Mark unleashing his full power, no one could stop him.
After bursting out of the Central Financial Building, he instantly took to the air and flew rapidly into the sky.
The numerous ninjas below could only look at each other helplessly as Mark soared into the sky.
One of the ninjas, who was in charge, immediately took out his phone and made a call.
"Madam, someone just breached headquarters and killed many of our men. They're probably after the Dragon Bone..."
He described Mark's abilities and appearance to the person on the other end of the phone.
In a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown, Mrs. Gao was holding her phone, listening intently to her subordinate's report.
"Move more people to headquarters. We must protect the location of the dragon bones and absolutely cannot let them take them away!"
After listening to the report, Madam Gao gave a serious order and then hung up the phone.
"Superman... Could it be that the one who invaded the Hand headquarters tonight was the Superman who was rumored to have appeared in Los Angeles? He actually came to New York and directly attacked our Hand?"
Madam Gao frowned, and her expression was not good.
With the intelligence capabilities of the Hand and the Society, Madam Gao naturally knew of Superman's existence long ago, and also knew that the other party was very strong.
Originally, the two sides were far apart and should have kept to themselves.
Unexpectedly, Superman was also interested in dragon bones and even went directly to their location.
However, the dragon bone is closely related to long arms and the lifespan of someone with five fingers, and she absolutely cannot give it to the other party.
Fortunately, the seal on the Dragon Bone Cemetery was very strong. They found that it hadn't been broken even after decades. This "superman" also seemed helpless against the seal, which put Madam Gao at ease.
Mark had already returned to the villa he had just bought.
He rested for one night, and the next day, as soon as the sun rose, he immediately flew rapidly into the sky.
The warm sunlight shone on Mark, not only increasing his sunlight levels but also rapidly replenishing his energy.
When Mark returned to the villa last night, his energy levels were less than 30%.
Of that, only 20% was used in the battle; the majority was consumed in breaking the seal.
Under the sunlight, Mark's cells were frantically absorbing solar energy as if they were starving.
An hour later, Mark's solar energy had been fully restored.
"It seems I still need to continue improving my super physique and increasing my body's energy limit!"
Mark sighed inwardly.
It might not be noticeable under normal circumstances, but if intense battles continue, the energy consumption will be enormous.
While Mark flew into outer space to continue collecting sunlight, Jarvis told Tony about Mark's arrival in New York at the Stark family's luxurious villa.
"Sir, according to my investigation, Mark arrived in New York the day before yesterday, but there is no specific time, and I cannot find out what mode of transportation he used."
"After arriving in New York, he went straight to the Hill Hotel in Manhattan and just moved into a villa he had just bought on Lint Street yesterday."
Jarvis knew exactly what Mark had been doing since arriving in New York.
Jarvis at this point has not yet reached the point where he could monitor the entire United States or even the world.
But in New York today, as long as there are internet access, street surveillance cameras, or satellite-captured open-air scenes, there's practically nothing that can be hidden from him.
Therefore, Jarvis learned of Mark's appearance at the Hilton Hotel the moment he appeared.
Tony Stark had just casually remarked, "I wonder what that kid Mark is up to these days?"
Then Jarvis told him about Mark's trip to New York.
"What! You said he came to New York?"
Upon hearing Jarvis's words, Tony was taken aback and abruptly sat up from the sofa.
This news came as a complete surprise to him.
After calming down, he asked Jarvis, "Jarvis, can you find out why Mark came to New York?"
"There are no leads at the moment."
Jarvis responded.
"Alright, then keep an eye on Mark's information and report back to me immediately if you find anything further."
Tony instructed Jarvis.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and glanced at it, only to find that it was his assistant, Pepper, calling.
"What's wrong, Pepper? It's not even time for work yet. Why are you calling me now? Do you miss me too much?"
Tony adopted a playboy tone and teased Pepper on the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Stark, I have important business with you.”
Pepper was used to Tony's flirtatious talk, and she said calmly, "Tomorrow at 6 p.m., Republican presidential candidate George Bush will be hosting a charity dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel to raise funds for the victims of the tsunami that struck the Oregon coast. He just had his secretary send you an invitation, Mr. Stark."
"Oh, so the election season is coming soon, and these politicians are resorting to their usual tricks."
Tony said with little interest.
If he wanted to donate, he could do so in the name of Stark Industries; there was no need for it to go through these politicians.
Tony has always been disgusted by this kind of showmanship.
“Mr. Stark, according to an ABC News poll, Mr. Bush has a 48% approval rating across the federal government, which means he is very likely to become the next president of the United States. I suggest you take this opportunity to build a good relationship with him in advance.”
Pepper advised Tony.
Although Tony disliked such occasions, he eventually reluctantly agreed after Pepper's persistent persuasion.
"By the way, didn't Mark come to New York?"
Tony suddenly realized this and immediately instructed Pepper, "Contact Mr. Bush again and ask him for another invitation."
Chapter 121 The Banquet
Originally, Tony was not interested in this so-called "charity dinner".
But if Mark could go too, he felt a strange sense of anticipation.
"Mr. Stark, may I ask who you are inviting?"
Pepper asked, puzzled.
"Just have them bring a blank invitation letter, and I'll give it away later!"
"Tony instructed."
Others may not have such face, but Tony certainly does, even if the person hosting the banquet is a presidential candidate.
Mark returned from outer space when it got dark.
Just as Mark was preparing to choose a secluded spot nearby to land, he noticed a burly, middle-aged white man waiting impatiently outside his villa.
The middle-aged white man kept glancing at his watch and then turning his head to look towards the intersection.
"Did they come to see me?"
Mark was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't told anyone about coming to New York and buying a villa there, so why would anyone come knocking on his door?
Mark landed on the ground, canceled his Superman transformation, and returned to his original form.
He pretended to have just returned from outside and walked towards the villa.
"what?"
Upon seeing Mark return, the middle-aged man at the door immediately greeted him excitedly: "Hello, are you Mr. Mark Payne?"
The middle-aged man did not treat Mark with disrespect because of his young age, which made Mark have a good impression of him.
He nodded and admitted, "Yes, that's me! May I ask what you need me for?"
“I am Mr. Stark’s driver, Happy Hogan.”
Happy first introduced himself, then handed him an invitation and a gift box: "Mr. Stark asked me to give you this invitation and this suit. He hopes you can attend a banquet tomorrow."
After saying that, Happy immediately said goodbye to Mark and left.
"So this is Tony Stark's driver and bodyguard!"
Watching Happy's departing figure, Mark understood why Happy had been able to find him.
In New York, few things can be kept from Jarvis, and naturally, nothing can be kept from Tony Stark.
After the other party left, Mark opened the invitation and saw its contents.
"A charity dinner hosted by George W. Bush?"
Upon seeing that familiar name, Mark immediately realized that this was all a political stunt.
