9:30 p.m.

The East Coast signal is in full swing, TV studios, mall promotions, bar screenings...... All of them flashed with dense snow-white dots, then became the symbol of the Ten Rings, and the satellite signal was invaded, including the White House.

With a series of clips of terrorist attacks, Mandarin appears on the screen, sending a powerful threat to the United States, and his gloomy face is like that of the Demon King of Hell, which makes people involuntarily fear and tremble inside.

Half a month of bombing attacks, at least hundreds of injuries, dozens of deaths, the United States since "911", once again into a tense atmosphere, even S.H.I.E.L.D. intervened, began to vigorously search for the traces of Mandarin and the Ten Rings Gang, currently as one of the Avengers, Iron Man Tony Stark, is still in a state of unknown disappearance.

"Mr. President, we're going to get back to class. This is Toms Richard, an accountant at Lawx Oil, and he does a great job......"

The camera zooms out to Mandarin holding a pistol, and at his feet is a middle-aged man with a face full of fear, his body trembling incessantly, like a lamb staying there. All held their breath, they realized what was going to happen.

"I'm sure he's a good guy, so I'm going to blow his head off later, thirty seconds later, in front of you. It's going to be a big enough live broadcast, and the only one who can stop it is you, Mr. President! You have the number of this phone in your phone, and if I get the call within thirty seconds, then Tom doesn't have to die. ”

On Air Force One, President Ellis, who was on a special plane, picked up his mobile phone, which had an unfamiliar number on it, and he looked at the secret service director next to him, showing a suspicious and inquiring look.

Mandarin's power is simply terrifying, and he actually hacked into his mobile phone quietly, if the other party wants to do something else, wouldn't it be easy!

"We can't let terrorists do whatever they want." The Secret Service Director's eyes flickered and he said awe-inspiringly.

The blue and white Boeing 747 sailed smoothly above the clouds, and the plane, known as the "White House in the sky," had become a symbol of power in the United States, and everyone in the large conference room was silent, and if the call was not made, innocent people would die tragically, and the president would be saddled with trumped-up charges, and obeying Mandarin's advice would undoubtedly be a compromise to the terrorists.

After thinking about it for a long time, President Ellis still dialed the phone number, and the sound of "jingle bells" sounded in the live video of the Ten Rings Gang, Mandarin's gloomy face was soothed, and he stared at the camera, as if making eye contact with everyone, and in the silence, only the phone ringing echoed repeatedly.

Pull the trigger and the gunshots rang out.

It was like a thunderclap that frightened the audience in front of the TV and shocked President Ellis, who was on Air Force One.

"Mr. President, flee quickly, kiss goodbye to your wife and children, because nothing including your army or the Iron Patriots can stop me."

The signal was cut off, and the video was frozen on the horror sign of the Ten Rings Gang, President Ellis squeezed his mobile phone, looked at the secret service supervisor and said in a deep voice: "Order Colonel Rhodes to find this madman immediately!" ”

"Mr. President, we have tracked this broadcast signal, the source may be in Pakistan, and the Iron Patriots are on standby."

…………

On a private airliner to Tennessee, Tony is browsing the video footage given to him by Sean, a list of disabled soldiers, all of whom have been selected by AIM to test on the Desperate Virus, which has the ability to repair stump limbs.

“…… You were all marginalized and disabled, but from this moment on, you will be the winners of human evolution! As the first batch of experimental candidates, when you look back on your life in the future, the hardships and glory will make you unforgettable! Glory belongs to today! ”

In the video, Killian is like a Wall Street economic swindler, full of lies, so that those retired soldiers who were injured and disabled in the war obediently took the initiative to join the experiment, not caring about the danger at all.

In the back of the film, there is also a shot of the injection of the desperate virus, and in the experimental phase called "Ultimate Transformation", the soldiers have red skin all over their bodies, faintly revealing a lava-like luster, accompanied by intense pain, and mutilated limbs are repaired and regenerated.

But not everyone has good luck, Tony saw a soldier with his own eyes, unable to withstand the rough process of the virus transforming his body, the surface of his body was like being burned by flames, his body was cracked like a ceramic, dazzling light erupted from his open mouth, and the high-temperature energy of more than 3,000 degrees Celsius exploded from the inside, and a huge explosion swept everything!

"That's the truth about the Mandalin bombing......" Tony muttered to himself.

From the information he obtained, he deduced that Killian had sold this flawed cutting-edge technology to Mandarin, and AIM made a fortune with it.

"I remember that Ambrera developed the medical technology for the rebirth of severed limbs a long time ago." Tony turned his head to look at Sean with a hint of questioning.

"Hey, when Stark Industries was the leader of the military industry in the past, it may not be able to monopolize the entire market, let alone Ambrera...... And do you know how many disabled people are in the United States, and how many of them are military veterans? Tony, we are not the saviors, maybe Iron Man can make this world better, but he can't eliminate all the crime and stifle all the dirty things that hide in the dark. ”

Sean bluntly revealed the truth, saying that he and Ambrera did not bear the blame, those retired soldiers were not cornered, they were just innocent people who were seduced by national glory or a sense of mission, and Killian deceived these people with high-sounding reasons.

"I'm going to stop them!" Tony sighed, anxious emotions haunting him. "Find Mandarin, the Ten Rings, Killian...... I've done something wrong before, and now I'm trying to make amends. ”

"But what about the president?"

Sean turned his laptop around, and an hour-old threatening video of Mandarin, the evil leader of the Ten Rings, openly terrorizing the rulers of the United States.

"And Rhodes is in ...... Wait, the new image of the Iron Patriot seems to have been designed by AIM! ”

Tony realizes that something is wrong, and that Killian is likely hatching a huge conspiracy, with Mandarin, the Ten Rings, and multiple bombing attacks, perhaps just a front to attract attention.

President! Their goal is the president!

"Don't look at me like that...... Please, Iron Man is a superhero, and I'm just a rich, handsome, brainy guy at best. Sean shrugged, ignoring Tony's expectant look.

"Sean, you have an army of mutants, Bronski - the big yellow guy who fought with the Hulk, even Nick Fury wanted to pull you into S.H.I.E.L.D., and now that there is a chance to become a hero, aren't you tempted at all?"

The young man shook his head, indicating that there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh.

"I owe you once, it's a big deal to go back to New York and invite you to a luxury burger, that's it! I'm going to get Mandarin, and you support Rod! ”

Seeing Tony's rogue look, Sean smiled, his eyes flashing with a faint and uncertain light.

"I have my own way of doing things, you have to think about it." He said meaningfully.

The president of the United States is one of the most powerful positions on the planet, but it is also a "high-risk job", and since the founding of the country, seven presidents have died in accidents, four of them in assassinations.

Perhaps, this is a rare opportunity to recreate the Kennedy affair of that year?
