Chapter 269: Revenge
Here, Agent Phil arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D. has just begun its investigation of the Holy Lord.
On the other hand, Tony was ignited by an explosion.
"Sorry, can you turn the TV back on?"
In the intensive care unit in New York, Tony blinked his red eyes and said to the nurse who walked in.
"Sunday night's 'Downton Abbey' has always been his favourite show."
Tony's gaze swept over the unconscious Harpy on the hospital bed, his expression a little remorseful.
He once asked Harpy to follow the guy who came to Stark Industries on the phone, but he didn't expect that his casual arrangement would almost cost Harpy's life.
Looking at Harpy, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, Tony silently withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Actually, there is my responsibility in this, if I didn't ...... at that time"
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart, Tony took one last look at Harpy lying on the hospital bed, and turned away with a determined expression.
He couldn't watch Harpy get hurt in vain.
"We're waiting for Tony Stark to come out of the hospital and ask him what he thinks of the latest attack."
At the entrance of the hospital, a large number of reporters gathered there.
More than the damage caused by the explosion, the media, who feared that the world would not be chaotic, cared more about Tony Stark's reaction.
After a while, Tony, with a black face, walked out of the hospital door.
"Mr. Tony Stark, can you tell us what you think about the explosion?"
"Mr. Tony Stark, it is said that your ...... in this explosion"
"Excuse me, Mr. Tony Stark, you know very well about this explosion and the Pentagon......"
Seeing Tony come out, the media, who had been waiting for an eventful time, rushed to ask Tony what he thought about the explosion.
It's just that now Tony is not in the mood to answer the media's questions at all, ignoring the media around him, Tony is about to leave with a cold face.
At this moment, a man holding up a mobile phone to take a picture suddenly asked, "Hey, Tony Stark, what will you do next?" β
Hearing the man's inquiry, Tony couldn't help but stop himself, he turned back to the man with the mobile phone and said: "Regarding this explosion attack, I know that you have a lot of opinions, not only you, but also many people in the Pentagon, standing on their own sides and with a cautious attitude. They were silent about the explosion and tried to keep it hidden, but I knew that you were the one behind the explosion, the Holy Lord. β
"I don't care what your purpose is to create this explosion, but I can tell you clearly right now that the Holy Lord, I, Tony Stark, am not afraid of you, and from now on, I will be your opponent, and this has nothing to do with politics, just pure revenge. It has nothing to do with the Pentagon, it's you and me! If you're still a man, come to me! The address of my house ......"
After saying all this, Tony directly took the man's mobile phone, turned around and smashed it to pieces.
Leave a message: "Sue me." β
I left directly from the entrance of the hospital.
"Mr. Tony Stark, what are you talking about...... Holy Lord?"
"Mr. Stark, according to you, the Pentagon seems to be exploding, and there is a deliberate ......"
β¦β¦
ββ¦β¦ It's 10880 Malibu Beach and my door won't be locked! If you want to find me, come, Holy Lord! β
[Legendary ...... from Tony Stark]
[Legendary ...... from a New York reporter]
In the antique store, Li Ran raised his eyebrows as he looked at Tony's report on the TV news and the legend on the system data panel.
Since Tony has already taken the initiative to make an invitation, in order to give this Iron Man face, it seems that he should also make some arrangements to let the so-called 'Holy Lord' appear and show his face.
β¦β¦
"You shouldn't have done that, Tony."
Cliff House, in the basement, Tony received a message from his buddy Colonel James.
It is clear that the other side represents the attitude of the Pentagon.
"Because of your words, all the efforts that the Pentagon has been making all this time have been in vain."
"I just said what I had to say."
Tony's attitude is resolute in this regard.
If the previous investigation of the Holy Lord was based on curiosity and comfort from his friends, but from the moment Harpy was injured, Tony had already regarded the Holy Lord as the object of his revenge.
"I know."
As a close friend, Colonel James was clearly aware of Tony's character, so his phone call, especially on behalf of the Pentagon, was more about his persuasion: "I'm sorry about Harpy." However, you can't blind yourself because of hatred, we all know very well that the explosion is not pure, about the Holy Lord, as an avenger you should know its danger better than us. β
"If I could, I would also like everything to go according to plan, but, obviously, the Holy Lord doesn't think so."
According to the information they received from S.H.I.E.L.D., they have been in contact with the Foundation, and now it seems that S.H.I.E.L.D. is obviously moving a little slower.
Agent Phil's contact with Foundation containment specialists was not secretive, and Tony had heard of the ongoing battle between the two on the streets of New York.
The appearance of the [Snake Charm] made Tony even more determined that the so-called explosion was related to the Holy Lord.
"Since the Holy Lord has provoked me, then, be prepared to meet the wrath of Iron Man."
"Tony ......"
Faced with Tony's resolute attitude, Colonel James on the other end of the phone opened his mouth to say something more.
At this moment, Jarvis suddenly spoke, interrupting the call between the two and reminding.
"Sir, it looks as if an uninvited guest has appeared in your home."
While speaking, Jarvis pulled up the surveillance video in the living room, only to see that in the living room of the villa, a figure in a black cloak was posing like Shi Shiran, and he unceremoniously pulled out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and began to drink it.
"How did he end up in the house?"
The figure that appeared in the surveillance video made Tony's expression immediately become solemn.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't know how he appeared, he just appeared in the living room."
Jarvis called up all the surveillance in the living room, but he couldn't find out how the other party appeared.
"Tell Pepper on the second floor right away and tell her not to come down from the upper floor."
Jarvis's answer made the expression on Tony's face change suddenly, he hurriedly commanded Jarvis, and hurriedly hung up the call with Colonel James: "Sorry, James, it looks like my guest has arrived." β
"Tony, Tony......"
β¦β¦
"So, you are the Holy Lord?"
Wrapping himself in the newly developed battle suit Mark 11, Tony came to the living room, looked at the mysterious existence lying on the sofa, did not think of himself as an outsider at all, and asked with a solemn expression.
"What," shaking the red wine glass in his hand, looking at the scenery outside the villa, the empty shell [Holy Lord] played by Li Ran's clone replied with an expression of enjoyment: "Obviously, you took the initiative to invite me, why does it seem that you are very surprised by my appearance?" β
"It's my favorite bottle of red wine."
His gaze swept over the red wine that was opened in front of the doppelganger [Holy Lord], and Tony's expression was not very good.
"It tastes good."
Raise your hand and drink the red wine from your glass.
The Holy Lord stretched, got up from the couch, and lifted the cloak from his head, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with no special features.
The face that appeared under the cloak did not make Tony relax his vigilance, he raised his palm to the [Holy Lord] in front of him, and asked in a solemn voice, "Tell me your purpose, Holy Lord." β
"My purpose."
His gaze swept over Tony's energy-condensed palm in front of him, but the expression on the [Holy Lord's] face did not seem to change.
He was originally just a clone, and even if he was really hit by the shockwave, he wouldn't be able to cause harm to Li Ran.
Therefore, in the living room, the expression of the [Holy Lord] was particularly relaxed: "My purpose has always been very clear, to collect twelve charms and get back these scattered powers that originally belonged to me. β
The [Holy Lord] has made no secret of its own purpose, after all, from the setting, this has always been its raison d'Γͺtre.
"You should know, Holy Lord, that's not what I'm asking."
Regarding the information about the twelve charms, Tony had already known it from the mouth of one of Li Ran's doppelgangers, [Uncle Long], "Why did you create so many explosions in New York!" β
"You know what, Tony Stark."
In the face of Tony's questioning, the [Holy Lord] did not answer directly, but suddenly changed his words: "Many times, the obstacles and opponents in front of us do not exist in the first place, but are likely to come from us, and the source of all this may be just an unintentional mistake, or an inadvertent action. It's like, back then, because of a moment of negligence, I was taken advantage of by others, separating the power that originally belonged to me into twelve charms, losing the power that originally belonged to me, and turning into a stone statue to keep the seal. β
"Another example, you, Tony Stark, actually, I didn't do much, I just pushed someone a little."
Ignoring Tony's solemn face, the Holy Lord continued, "Turned someone who was once your admirer into a mad avenger. β
"Admirers? Avenger? β
The words of the [Holy Lord] made the expression on Tony's face change a little under the steel mask.
If Tony remembered the two descriptions in the words of the Holy Lord at this moment, he might be able to detect some clues from them. However, it's a pity that neither Tony Stark in the past nor the present one feels that he can remember anyone, not to mention, with Tony Stark's appearance in the past, there are not hundreds of people who have offended, but dozens of people, so he has no idea where to start.
"You don't seem to be impressed."
Seeing Tony's reaction, even if he just had a simple idea of using Killian, Li Ran couldn't help but feel pity for him.
Obviously, in order to take revenge, he has already done this, but as a result, Tony is stunned and has no impression of him at all.
"Sorry, I've offended too many people in the past, so ......"
Shrugging his shoulders, Tony said with a wry smile.
"Looks like Killian said, Tony Stark, you're a real asshole."
It's okay if you can't remember, because Li Ran will help Tony remember.
"Killian?"
The extra name that came out of the mouth of the [Holy Lord] made Tony's eyebrows furrow under the steel suit, and he had some influence on the name. However, there is no long memory, but when Harpy reported to him before, it seemed that he also happened to mention the name Killian.
"Thank you for the information, then ...... next"
Turning the head of his steel suit, Tony thanked the [Holy Lord] in front of him expressionlessly, and the next moment, the arc shock wave emitted from his palm accurately hit the [Holy Lord] on the opposite side.
"This is my thank you for Harpy, Holy Lord!"
He has not forgotten that Harpy in the hospital is lying down, and the black hand behind the explosion.
If the one called Killian is the maker of everything, then the Lord is the agent of everything. Either of them is the object of his revenge.
Bang β
The shockwave hit the body of the [Holy Lord], this terrifying existence with the power to destroy the world in the mouth of the Foundation containment expert [Dragon], and the next second after receiving Tony's shockwave, the whole person flew out directly upside down like a broken doll.
"This is, the legendary Holy Lord?"
Seeing this scene, Tony's brows under the mask couldn't help but wrinkle a little, the power of the [Holy Lord] in front of him was not small compared to what the containment experts described.
"Not a bad attack."
In Tony's suspicious gaze, the [Holy Lord] who was originally knocked down by the shockwave of the middle-aged man stood up again, his chest was obviously sunken because of the shockwave's attack, however, no matter how you look at it, this is enough to be a fatal injury, but the expression on the man's face did not change in the slightest.
Looking down and glancing at the injury on his chest, the [Holy Lord's] normally normal eyes began to flash a conspicuous red light.
"It's a pity that what you're attacking now isn't my real body, it's just a possessed object I found at random, and even if you kill the body in front of me, it won't be able to do any meaningful damage to me."
[Legendary ...... from Tony Stark]
"As a mortal, you can't kill me, Tony Stark, even the guy who once sealed me, because you can only isolate my power, but you can't really destroy me."
As he spoke, the Holy Lord turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the villa: "You take revenge on me for Happi, and in the same way, someone will take revenge on you. β
