Chapter 183: Rescue

"Boom!"

Although Oaks deliberately reduced the power of the spell considering it was indoors, Killian was still directly blasted into the room opposite.

Oaks had already sensed that there was no one in the opposite room.

"Tsk, you'll be held responsible for these losses."

Oaks didn't enter the opposite room. Killian raged impotently inside for a while, and once his arm and pierced stomach had healed, he angrily jumped up:

"Avenger! This is the grudge between me and Tony..."

"Tony isn't here."

Oaks shrugged:

"Putting aside all external factors, targeting two ordinary people, or should I say two beautiful ladies with your abilities, is truly despicable."

"You... our collaboration was also on my agenda, but now it seems like a pity."

Killian's face twisted, although he could use the Extremis virus to repair bodily injuries, the process was evidently not easy or pleasant.

"You still won't introduce yourself?"

Pepper and Maya had quietly peered in this direction.

"Oaks, he is Killian Aldrich Killian, the CEO of A.I.M.!"

"Thanks."

Oaks nodded at the enraged Killian, who was currently taking deep breaths to avoid overheating:

"You see, it's fine if you don't say it. Although I think this is probably another trouble caused by Tony's arrogant personality, your behavior has crossed the line--

Now calm down and come with me. I can find a way to help with your shortcomings."

"Shortcomings?!"

Upon hearing this, Killian almost exploded:

"Hah! I am flawless! I am not the useless armor created by that guy Tony!"

However, after his tough talk, he suddenly shivered.

Because Oaks looked at him with a smile that seemed to say he had no secrets in front of him at all!

"Maya..."

Killian immediately thought of his presumed reason, knowing that with Oaks here today, he probably wouldn't be able to succeed.

If things escalated, he wouldn't be able to handle the consequences.

"Very well, we will meet again!"

Like all standard villains, Killian left with some tough words before jumping out of the window and escaping.

Oaks didn't attempt to capture him. Firstly, magical plants didn't have any effective means of restraining someone who could easily cut through even Tony's armor with bare hands using high heat.

Furthermore, unnecessary casualties and losses would result from causing a big commotion.

There would be opportunities to deal with him later. Right now, the priority was ensuring Pepper and Maya's safety.

However, he couldn't just let him go like that.

A portal opened next to Oaks.

"Skoll."

"Here, master."

A German Shepherd crossed through the portal. Skoll's eyes brightened and the intense heat left by Killian excited him.

"Track this scent, secretly follow him, and wait for my command."

"Yes!"

Skoll's figure disappeared instantly--

With the power of the sun and moon, they were already capable of invisibility, but it was useless in front of Oaks, so they stopped using it later.

"He... left?"

Pepper let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Oaks... But were you just talking to a dog? What's going on?"

"That's my newly adopted dog, he's a bit special... It's not safe here anymore, let's move to a completely secure location."

Oaks pointed to the teleportation gate and introduced Pepper and Maya, who had their eyes widened in surprise.

"Welcome to the Nature Guardians, my ark ship and the new headquarters of the Benevolent Society."

Oaks smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.

"Bruce is over there, your safety will be guaranteed, and Steve will provide support when necessary."

"Dr. Banner and Captain?"

Both Pepper and Maya knew the famous names of these two Avengers, and they felt relieved upon hearing the news.

"Then you..."

"I'll go check on Tony's situation. I've already delayed it for a bit... It should be fine."

Oaks guided Pepper and Maya to find a busy Banner and settled them down.

"Do you need any help?"

Upon hearing Oaks briefly explain the situation, Banner's expression became serious.

"If that guy goes mad, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Tony and I are enough. We haven't fully investigated this matter yet."

Oaks glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist and nodded.

"Bruce, although DNA biological coding is not your specialty, please help me prepare the relevant research equipment.

What Dr. Hansen knows should not be so simple."

"Understood."

Banner nodded.

"Be careful."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Oaks directly transformed into a white-throated needletail and flew straight towards Tennessee.

In fact, he still had some doubts.

Because he had intervened and changed the U.S. presidential election, the current president was no longer Matthew Ellis, who had acted recklessly in the Roxxon Oil tanker incident.

Correspondingly, the vice president was not Rodriguez, the former Republican vice president.

At this moment, Kilian had made his move. How was he planning to cause trouble for the high-ranking officials of the U.S. government?

If Kilian still intended to kill the U.S. president, it seemed to bring him no benefit.

No, his original goal was to cause a sensation and firmly nail Tony to the pillar of shame.

This included capturing Pepper and posing as Tony's archenemy, the Ten Rings, to cover up the flaws of the Extremis virus explosion. It was all part of the plan.

Iron Man was a superhero who defended the interests of the U.S. government. By kidnapping the U.S. president, he wanted to kill Tony in every possible way, mentally and physically.

And by kidnapping the U.S. president and killing him, he would immediately become the world's biggest terrorist, gaining control of the initiative in the war.

But at this point, now that he had officially launched a war against Tony, if he couldn't find help, he would never give up this opportunity.

If he were to execute the president, even without the incident involving Roxxon Oil, he could easily find a reason.

For example, Stark Industries' support for the clean energy plan would be the best reason, shifting the blame onto Roxxon.

"So, Colonel Rhodes should take some blame... There should still be time."

Oaks had delayed for some time, and Tony had already taken swift action.

He had met a young boy named Harry Keener and sensed something strange behind the many terrorist bombings claimed by "The Mandarin."

After getting a clue from the boy, he decided to go alone to find the mother of one of the bombing victims and obtain crucial information.

Unfortunately, he had already been recognized by Kilian's henchmen.

While Tony fought fiercely against Kilian's trusted aides without his Iron Man armor, he managed to avoid danger using his wit, but he inevitably found himself in a crisis—

But his young friend turned out to be an exceptional child. He helped Tony defeat the enemy, and the two managed to escape.

But while Tony was driving and calling the boy Harry to get the Mandarin's address.

Harry said something on the call that made him feel the familiar sense of anxiety.

"It's not charging."

Harry's description of the situation with the armor surrounded him with a long-lost feeling of unease.
