Chapter 270 Tony: Am I being made an easy target?!
"Sir, I apologize for interrupting your conversation... A large number of unidentified armed personnel have been detected approaching the villa. Should we contact the police for backup?"
Fortunately, Tony and his team were so busy arguing about which color scheme to choose for the Iron Man suits that they didn't pay any attention to what was happening around them.
However, Jarvis, who had been in charge of managing the villa, accurately pinpointed the location of the Skrull radicals the moment they stepped onto the villa's perimeter. He then projected the surveillance footage from the gate onto a virtual screen.
Unfortunately, Tony had already shut down the weapons division. He never imagined that anyone would dare to provoke him on this small patch of American soil.
This resulted in Tony's villa being equipped only with the most basic fire-fighting and alarm systems, but without any weapons or equipment for self-defense.
Even though Jarvis sensed their hostile intentions, he was powerless to stop them. His only recourse was to immediately inform Tony and the others. He also broadcast a message at the gate declaring that this was Tony Stark's private property and that any trespassers would be killed, attempting to scare off the armed group.
However, a mere verbal warning was hardly enough to frighten this group of desperate criminals.
"boom--!!!"
Almost immediately after Jarvis's warning was issued, before Tony and the others could even react, Jarvis's warning was delivered.
The intruders, realizing their presence had been discovered, stopped pretending and pulled out classic RPG rocket launchers, forcefully blasting open the tightly closed iron gate!
Then, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, they picked up their weapons and, braving the scorching heat, headed straight for Tony's villa!
Now, Jarvis didn't need to explain anything; everyone was convinced that this was a premeditated attack targeting "Tony Stark"!
So much so that Tony, who had just escaped a kidnapping crisis not long ago, couldn't help but laugh in anger when he saw the large number of armed personnel pouring in.
Alright, alright, you're all taking me for a sick cat just because I haven't shown my teeth!
To launch a surprise attack in the Middle East is one thing...
I'm back in America, on my own turf, and they still dare to pull this kidnapping stunt! Do they really think I, Tony Stark, have no temper?!
"Jarvis, prepare for the Mark 2 to launch."
"But, sir, the Mark II has only just been completed and has not yet undergone combat testing..."
"Now, it's time for the real-world test!"
With this in mind, Tony wasn't going to tolerate these idiots at all. After taking off his suit jacket, revealing the tight-fitting lining he had been wearing underneath, he gave orders to Jarvis while quickly putting on the Mark II Iron Man suit with the help of various mechanical arms.
After moving around a bit to get used to the full effect of wearing the Iron Man suit, he turned around and addressed the crowd.
"Excuse me, everyone. I need to attend to these impolite guests. As for the color scheme of the battle suits, we can discuss that when I return."
"Ha, no need to be so formal, Tony. I thought we were already friends."
Fortunately, Tony is no longer confined to his own space, working alone to build the Iron Man suit. He's also no longer forced to fight alone on the battlefield.
Therefore, as soon as Tony finished speaking, Banner's muscles visibly swelled and turned green in his smiling response.
In just a few breaths, he transformed from a refined scientist into a burly gamma monster. Rubbing his hands together, he excitedly picked up where Banner left off, continuing to suggest things to Tony.
"Hulk has been stuck in your lab for so many days, without a chance to go out and have some fun. He's incredibly bored. He's got a bellyful of pent-up frustration and is just looking for a place to vent... If Tin Man doesn't mind, how about giving some of these guests who have come to us to Hulk so he can treat them well?"
It was evident from his words that Hulk, who originally had the mind of a child and acted entirely on instinct, had made significant progress after reconciling with Banner under Riley's influence, despite his stuttering speech and severely limited vocabulary.
Not only can they control their temper to a certain extent, avoiding the embarrassing incident of accidentally injuring friendly forces.
Communicating with others has become noticeably smoother!
"Hey! Don't leave me out! I want to stretch my legs too! Let's have some fun, big guy!"
Of course, scientific research is just a hobby for Peter, whose job is to be a superhero. How could he miss such a long-awaited emergency as an armed intruder?
Therefore, he quickly put on his nanotech suit and transformed into the friendly neighbor Spider-Man. After experiencing the shock of a parallel universe, he deeply understood the importance of caution and deliberately had the fully charged Prince transfer his powers to himself.
Peter leaped lightly, landing unceremoniously on Hulk's shoulder. Hulk, already accustomed to Peter's presence, bumped fists with Peter, creating a harmonious atmosphere reminiscent of close brothers.
As if remembering something, he turned his head to look at Otto and Dr. Kopler, and with a hint of apology in his voice, he made a request.
"However, this laboratory contains a lot of classified information. If they're here specifically to lure us all out, that would be bad... Dr. Otto, could you and Dr. Kopler stay here and guard this place together?"
As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Having spent so much time with Riley, Peter, who seems to rely solely on his older brother and treat Riley as an external brain, having completely given up on thinking for himself, has actually seen his mental and strategic abilities grow significantly without him even realizing it.
In addition, because of his happy life, Otto still maintains his kind-hearted personality, and although he can also use four mechanical arms to gain a certain degree of combat power.
But he spends most of his time either on research or with his beloved wife.
Dr. Otto, whose lack of practical experience meant he was far from reaching the level of "Doctor Octopus".
Therefore, in order to save Dr. Otto's face and prevent him from having the misunderstanding that "if he doesn't join the battle, will Peter and the others think he's a coward?", he was forced to act with the group, resulting in unnecessary sacrifices.
Peter then used a sincere tone to pave the way for Dr. Otto.
This relieved Dr. Otto, and he grew to like Peter, such a smart, studious, and understanding little fellow, more and more!
She only regretted that her family hadn't produced a daughter yet, and that Peter and Gwen's relationship was still steadily growing stronger, unshakable by anyone...
Otherwise, Dr. Otto should find a way to bring Peter home and make him a member of his family, given how charming this young man is!
