Chapter 50: Iron Ambition (Part II)

“…… Tony he won't see me now, and I know he's definitely disappointed, but I want you to tell him that the Air Force isn't satisfied with the technology he gave them, and they want more...... My superior, General Johnson, has revealed that they want to join forces to put pressure on the Stark Group......"

"Or maybe they have more conspiracies."

Rhodes said on the phone that Schiller asked him, "Are you excluded from the center of power in this circle?" Why? Because you wavered? ”

Rhodes was silent for a while and said, "No, General Johnson has actually always distrusted me, because I used to be a subordinate of Old General Andro, and the relationship between the two of them is very bad. ”

"That's why he forced you to go, right?"

Schiller sighed and said, "What if you can't stand the pressure there?" ”

Before Rod could speak, Schiller said again: "Tony doesn't see you now, it's not because of something related to the Air Force, there are some problems within their Stark Group, he needs to slow down now, and he hasn't gone out for a few days." ”

Rhodes's tone has not fluctuated, just like him, always very serious, looking rigid, he said: "I think we all know that there is no monolith within the Stark Group, there must be someone among them who colludes with the military, and this person must be a high-level person." ”

He continued: "It's not normal for the military to have too much information about Stark Group's technical information, and while I don't know more about it yet, I don't want Tony to be betrayed." ”

"You want me to tell him about it? But maybe you haven't thought about it, he already knew about it, and the reason why it dragged on until now ......"

"I know that he is too easy to be soft-hearted, otherwise he would not have compromised with the military because of me, but this time the matter is too serious, if he continues to be so indecisive, something big will definitely happen......"

As he was saying this, Schiller heard movement, he turned his head, and saw two meteors crossing the window, followed by two dazzling lights, flashing through the air, a violent explosion sounded at the end of the sky, and the two lights fell down together, Schiller looked out the window and said to the other end of the phone: "...... Something big has happened. ”

Schiller hung up the phone, and he turned into gray fog and walked through the streets of Manhattan, tracing the landing points of the two streamers to an abandoned warehouse in New York's XC district.

This landing spot must have been chosen by Stark, because this is a rare deserted neighborhood in the city, and only by falling here will it not hurt ordinary people.

Schiller slowly condensed his body, and before he could go in, the phone rang again, and Rod said hurriedly on the other end of the phone: "Send me a satellite positioning, I'll go over right now, Tony may need my help!" ”

Schiller flew to the roof of the warehouse in a flash while holding the phone, and looked down.

There, Iron Man in a golden-red mech is tangled with a giant robot.

That robot wasn't the Iron Tyreson.

It is pitch-black all over, with gold accents on some of its joints, which is larger than the Iron Overlord, but more hideous.

Schiller spoke into the phone and said, "Things have changed, you'd better come over quickly." ”

The battle below is very fierce, and Iron Man can't beat the big robot, but in the fall just now, he had to take the robot to a place where no one was around, so he didn't have time to adjust the angle when he landed, and one side of the mecha's body was already a little inflexible.

This is not what he usually fights those street thugs when he saves people, even with Jarvis's intelligent calculation system, Iron Man is still a little difficult to deal with, and it can be seen that the robot seems to be prepared to deal with him.

Iron Man flew into the air, and a low-altitude swoop grabbed the robot's waist and slammed it into the wall, causing a massive piece of roof to collapse and crash on both of them.

Iron Man's situation was even worse, his entire shoulder mech was somewhat damaged, and one arm could barely lift it at all.

But the big guy wasn't much better, after being hit hard, he was shocked again, and a large chunk of the cockpit was knocked off, but there was no driver in there, and it seemed that someone was controlling it remotely.

Finding out about this, Iron Man came up with a way to deal with it, first pretending that the mecha was out of control, crawling out of the falling steel frame on the roof, and then pretending to be invincible and falling to the ground.

The big robot also struggled to climb out of the steel frame, and found that Iron Man had fallen to the ground, so he directly picked up a steel bar and wanted to insert it into Iron Man's chest.

Just as he leaned his entire upper body forward to exert force, Iron Man on the ground suddenly burst into flames, kicked it in the knee, and then struck the robot in the head with an elbow strike.

The upper body of the big robot was too bloated, and although it was strong, it was inevitably unstable, and it was firmly hit by an elbow blow from Iron Man, shaking and falling to one side.

Just when Iron Man was about to repeat his old trick and defeat it with electric shocks and impacts, the big robot suddenly smoked, and Jarvis began to call the police frantically, and Iron Man quickly retreated, but he was still a step too slow.

A violent explosion sent up a huge mushroom cloud in the warehouse, the roar could be heard from several blocks away, and it exploded.

Obviously, the designers of this big robot, made its upper body so big, not for nothing.

There's a big bomb in there, and the yield is quite sufficient.

By the time Schiller pulled Stark out of the mech, his face was covered in blood, his ribs had broken at least three, and it appeared that his ankle and arm were also broken.

Stark himself really doesn't have any superpowers, and although his brain is very developed, his limbs are obviously much worse.

Stark struggled to raise his arm and wipe the blood from his eyes, and when he saw that it was Schiller, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to him, "I have it in my pocket...... Cell phone...... Jarvis would call another mech and see if there was anyone around...... The explosion was too big......"

Apparently, there was some impact on his head as well, Schiller opened his eyelids and looked at it, the blood inside the eye was very bad, he pulled out a small bottle of medicine, poured out a pill, and told Stark to swallow it.

The high concentration of analgesics worked very well, and soon, Stark said: "This guy is coming for me, it has a strong restraint on my mecha, and can even predict my course of action, I can't believe it......"

"Can't believe what? Can't believe that someone who knows you best may have betrayed you? You have this kung fu, build a few more mechas, and win with one punch. ”

"I know, I shouldn't be hiding in the lab to escape, but I just want to digest the fact that you can't expect me to be emotionless like a zombie."

Stark looks very negative right now, his face full of decadence and loss.

Stark coughed heavily, a trace of blood ran down the corner of his mouth, obviously the impact just now made his respiratory tract uncomfortable, a euphoric feeling brought by the high concentration of painkillers continued to surge in his body, he seemed to be fascinated, and whispered:

"I knew his friend wasn't going to be a good guy and as bad as him, I thought ......"

"No, or maybe he's right, Stark isn't worth trusting, and will always disappoint......"

Schiller flattened Stark's head, felt his pulse, and found that his heart rate was a little low, and he wanted to take Stark away directly, but Stark was like drunk, and he didn't leave.

It can be seen that he has no desire to survive now.

So Schiller could only sit cross-legged beside him, next to the wreckage of Iron Man's suit, the crater that had just exploded by the big robot that had exploded by itself, smoke was not far away, and the entire warehouse was shattered, and the steel and cement fragments on the ground were like the ruins of the end of the world.

Schiller asked Stark, "Obadiah is actually more like your father than Howard, right?" ”

Stark didn't answer him, as if he was asleep, and after a while he said slowly, "Uncle Obadiah was very happy when I made my first robot, and he said that I was a genius like my father. ”

"I always heard my father's name in his mouth, and he described him as a perfect man, intelligent, upright, determined...... Justice ......"

"In my old memory, every time he mentioned the name Howard, it was always only with approval and nostalgia."

"But then, I started to dislike hearing the name more and more, and he stopped mentioning it......"

Stark's voice was hoarse, and he was almost out of breath when he spoke:

"I saw a picture of them together, and it was on his desk, and on it, they were both young and in high spirits......

"Maybe like you and Rod." Schiller said.

"No, it's different, it's not at all."

"I'm not like Howard at all, not like at all, Rhodes won't look like Obadiah, I'm not like Rode, we're the two of us are the opposite, we're never going to be a copy of them, definitely not ......"

After that, Stark stopped making a sound, and the effect of the analgesics caused him to fall asleep quickly.

When Rhodes arrived, seeing Stark's injuries so severe, he hammered the wreckage of the mecha hard, and Schiller said to him, "Now I think his mental state is more problematic than his physical injuries." ”

"Aren't you a psychiatrist? Can't you enlighten him? ”

"I'm a psychiatrist, but not God, and it's clear that he's at a dead end now. He felt that everything he was suffering now was retribution, his retribution, his father's retribution, the retribution of the Stark Group. ”

"He wants to give it all to someone?"

"That's what he had to ask himself. He had said that he would never back down for the sake of his home, but now it seemed that he did want to give it up to himself. ”

Rhodes glanced back at Stark lying on the ground and said, "If there is one price he has to pay, it may be for his brilliant brain and sensitive heart." ”

"He said you two are the complete opposite." Schiller said, "He has an iron armor, what about you?" ”

"Do you have a strong enough heart?"

Rod turned around, looked at the scrapped mech in front of him, and said nothing.
