"Bang bang bang..."
The waiter turned his gun around and fired repeatedly in George's direction.
Irving grabbed George and rolled around on the ground with him, barely managing to dodge most of the attacks.
Only one bullet struck Irving in the shoulder, and he was bleeding profusely.
Levi Baldwin, the security advisor standing on George's other side, turned pale with fright upon seeing this scene.
"Quick! Grab him!"
He yelled in alarm at the Secret Service agents standing nearby.
Levi was shocked that someone could actually bring a gun through security and into the banquet hall; this was definitely a major oversight on his part as a security consultant!
In fact, without Levy giving the order, five special agents wearing bulletproof vests who were standing around the lobby rushed toward the waiter.
At the same time, they drew their pistols and fired at the waiter.
Three other Secret Service agents rushed to George, who was lying on the ground, and formed a human wall to protect him behind them.
The waiter had run out of bullets in his pistol and was about to change the magazine when the special agents next to him opened fire.
"Bang bang bang..."
The surrounding guests were terrified and scattered in all directions. Tony quickly grabbed Mark and crawled under a nearby table.
Mark didn't resist and obediently followed him under the table.
He realized that the waiter who fired the shot wasn't trying to assassinate George, the presidential candidate.
Owen, who desperately rescued George, seemed loyal and devoted, but he was actually in cahoots with the waiter!
Mark naturally had no need to get involved; he also wanted to see what kind of tricks Irving was up to.
"Bang bang bang!"
Under the concentrated fire of the five special agents, the waiter had no time to change his magazine and was quickly riddled with bullets, resulting in a dangerously high level of copper in his body.
They only stopped when all the special agents had emptied their pistols.
"Target is dead!"
A special agent stepped forward, reached out and touched the waiter's neck on the ground, and said loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief, and the previously panicked crowd gradually calmed down.
Just as Tony was about to pull Mark out from under the table, another gunshot rang out behind them.
At this moment, two more waiters threw down their trays, pulled out pistols from their pockets, and started firing wildly at everyone in the hall.
Their target this time was not George, who was already under the protection of Secret Service agents, but a group of wealthy and famous people who had been invited to the banquet.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As the gunshot rang out, five people instantly screamed and fell to the ground.
"It's over!"
When Levi saw this, his face turned even paler.
If it were just that George was frightened, the other party might forgive him for this oversight, considering their long-standing friendship.
But now that guests have been killed or injured, and all of them are wealthy and powerful, he, as the security consultant, will definitely be blamed and his position is in jeopardy!
Based on his relationship with George, he had a good chance of becoming a high-ranking figure like the Secretary of National Defense once the latter became president!
At this moment, the special agents around also reacted and immediately opened fire on the two waiters.
However, because of the many guests running around in between, the special agents were worried about accidentally injuring anyone and were somewhat hesitant to act.
The two waiters opposite were still firing their guns, and they were clearly targeting the more important guests.
One of the waiters suddenly spotted Tony and Mark hiding under the table, and his eyes lit up.
Without hesitation, he abandoned his original target and pointed his gun at Tony.
Originally, to protect Mark, Tony placed him behind himself when he crawled under the table.
But now two more waiters have appeared behind him, and Mark is now blocking Tony's way.
This means that if the waiter wants to shoot Tony, he has to take care of Mark first.
Judging from their demeanor, they clearly didn't intend to show any leniency just because Mark was a child.
Damn it!
At this moment, Tony also noticed this scene. Without hesitation, he grabbed Mark and placed him behind him, choosing to shield Mark from the bullets with his body.
Fortunately, the marble floor was extremely slippery; otherwise, it would have been difficult to apply pressure under the table, and Tony might not have been able to drag Mark.
"This……"
Mark, who was being protected behind him, was still somewhat moved.
In his mind, Tony before becoming Iron Man must have been an arrogant and conceited person.
Unexpectedly, when faced with sudden danger, the other party made such a choice.
No wonder that after becoming Iron Man, he almost sacrificed his life many times to save others.
"Bang bang bang!"
At that moment, the waiter opposite Tony had already pulled the trigger.
There was nowhere to hide, and the two had nowhere to escape.
Just then, Mark reached out and placed his hand on Tony's back, activating an invisible bio-force field.
"Buzz!"
The three bullets fired at Tony froze in front of him, losing momentum and falling to the ground.
"This, this..."
Upon witnessing this unbelievable scene, Tony's eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at Mark behind him.
He knew that Mark must have done this.
But when Mark saved him last time, he only unleashed speed and strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a while, Mark's abilities have become even more amazing and incredible.
"Shh!"
Mark gestured for Tony to be quiet, telling him not to tell anyone else.
He can act in a high-profile manner after transforming into Superman, but he still needs to keep his true identity as low-profile as possible.
The waiter who fired the shot also wore an incredulous expression, wondering if he was seeing things.
"Now that you've seen it, we can't keep it."
Mark casually picked up a bullet that had fallen to the ground, flicked his finger, and launched it at the waiter more than ten meters away.
Chapter 124 Heading to Stark Tower
With Mark's current strength, when he unleashes his full power, the speed at which he can flick a bullet with his finger reaches 400 meters per second, which is no less than the speed of a pistol shot!
The bullet emitted a piercing whistle and almost instantly disappeared into the eye socket of the waiter opposite.
"puff!"
The waiter across the street saw Mark's actions the whole time, but he didn't have time to dodge. Mark's bullet pierced his eye socket and brain, and he fell to the ground without uttering a sound.
"Good job!"
The surrounding special agents assumed it was their comrade who had done it, and their morale soared.
The last waiter was left alone and was quickly shot and fell to the ground under the attack of these special agents.
After he fell to the ground, blood continued to gush from his chest, and his lips parted slightly as he uttered the last few barely audible syllables: "Hail Hydra... long live Hydra."
Mark overheard the other party's last words and his expression changed: "Hydra? So these are all Hydra people!"
He glanced at Irving on the platform, who was still loyally protecting George, and quickly realized that the other party must also be a Hydra.
The purpose of all this drama they staged today was to get rid of Levy, the security advisor, and replace him with one of their own!
At this moment, the group of bodyguards in the next room finally heard the commotion and rushed into the banquet hall.
"Mr. Stark, are you alright?"
Happy quickly found Tony hiding under the table and rushed over anxiously to help him and Mark up.
The two bodyguards Mark hired also ran over and protected Mark in the middle.
Although George on the platform was not injured, his face was grim as he looked at the dozen or so injured or even dead people in the hall.
These people were invited to the banquet by him, and now that something has happened, he will definitely be held responsible and may also face blame from the deceased's family.
"Look what you've done!"
George glared at Levi beside him: "What kind of security consultant are you? How could you let so many people bring guns into the banquet hall? Are all those security checks outside just for show?"
He was clearly extremely disappointed in Levy, and his tone was very harsh.
“I’m sorry, George, I didn’t expect this to happen.”
Levi lowered his head in shame.
At this point, it was clear that the charity banquet could not continue.
The others who were not injured said goodbye to George and left, leaving only the injured to lie on the ground and wait for the ambulance to arrive.
Tony, along with Mark, left the lobby and headed to the parking lot, escorted by Happy and two other bodyguards.
"Thank you, Mark, you saved me again today!"
As they walked, Tony thanked Mark.
"again?"
Mark glanced at Tony.
Judging from Tony's words, he clearly already knew about how Mark saved him back in Los Angeles.
Mark had already guessed it when Tony suddenly sent him a Falcon aircraft, and now he has received confirmation from Tony in person.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened to you."
Tony put his hand to his lips and made a zipping gesture.
"Thank you very much!"
Mark nodded, still trusting Tony's reputation.
“Mark, I, Tony Stark, never owe favors! You saved me again this time, so you can name your terms.”
Tony stopped and looked at Mark with a serious expression.
"There is indeed something I'd like to trouble you with."
After a moment's thought, Mark stated his purpose: "I would like to order a top-of-the-line supercomputer from your Stark Industries. I wonder if Mr. Stark could agree to that? The price is negotiable!"
Alice is now using an enterprise-grade supercomputer.
As Mark's companies grew, Alice's daily computing power requirements also increased dramatically.
The original enterprise-grade supercomputer was gradually becoming unable to meet Alice's daily computing power needs.
Mark had already been considering purchasing a more powerful national-level supercomputer to host Alice's main program.
However, these national-level supercomputers are subject to federal control and cannot be purchased simply with money.
Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Mark proposed his terms to Tony, wanting to purchase the goods through Stark Industries' channels.
"Of course! And you don't even need to buy it, I'll just give you one for free."
Tony waved his hand and said generously.
Mark was also somewhat taken aback by Tony's extravagance.
As far as he knows, the price of a typical national-level supercomputer is over $1 million, while a supercomputer with better performance can be worth as much as $4-6 million.
Tony just gave it away for free when it was so expensive!
