After taking several deep breaths inside the race car, Iron Man finally caught his breath.
He immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and climbed out of the wreckage. He glanced back at the burly man striding towards him and his pupils shrank.
That familiar face, those familiar two electric whips.
"Ivan Vanko! It's him!"
Iron Man was quite surprised.
He had been searching the world for Ivan Vanko without success, and now, the man had come to him.
"Just what I needed! This saves me the trouble of looking for you!"
Iron Man stood up and took out the universal capsule he had made into a pendant.
Screech!
A black car performed a cool, stylish drift and stopped in front of Iron Man. Happy yelled at Iron Man, "Get in, get in the car!"
"Tony, are you crazy? Get in the car!" Pepper, sitting in the back seat, shouted at Iron Man as well.
Unlike in the original timeline, Iron Man's Mark 5, the Briefcase Armor, hadn't been developed.
So, in the eyes of Happy and Pepper, there was no other option but to run.
"There's no need!" Iron Man said confidently, throwing the universal capsule on the ground.
Bang!
Smoke flashed, and the Mark 7 armor made a dazzling entrance!
Iron Man leaned against the Mark 7 armor, and various parts of it began to "move" rapidly, quickly enveloping Iron Man completely.
It has to be said, the Mark 7 armor was much more convenient than the previous armors, in terms of how it was put on.
Happy: "..."
Pepper: "..."
Both of them were dumbfounded.
Tony had just conjured an entire suit of armor out of thin air, it seemed?
"What the hell!"
Ivan Vanko was also stunned, unable to believe his eyes. Where did that suit of armor even come from?
And the armor Iron Man was currently wearing was clearly not the Mark 3, right?
When did Iron Man develop a new armor?
How long has it been?
As Iron Man's nemesis, Ivan Vanko had spent a lot of time investigating Iron Man, and knew his situation very well.
But this new set of armor before him still blinded him.
It caught him off guard.
Ivan Vanko wasn't arrogant enough to think he could defeat Iron Man just by relying on such a simple electric whip.
But now, Ivan Vanko had no choice.
Clap!
Ivan Vanko quickly came in front of Iron Man and fiercely whipped him.
Bang!
Iron Man cleanly raised his hand and fired a palm cannon at Ivan Vanko's electric whip, instantly sending it back.
Mark 7 wasn't like Mark 5, with its long palm repulsor charging time. Even wearing the armor, Ivan Vanko had been able to beat him around like a grandson.
That situation didn't exist with Mark 7.
Clap! Bang! Ivan Vanko's second electric whip had barely started to swing before Iron Man smacked it away. Bang! The third repulsor blast, Iron Man hit Ivan Vanko directly, sending him flying.
However, Ivan Vanko's physical condition was undeniably impressive. Gritting his teeth, he got back on his feet and swung his electric whip at Iron Man again.
Bang! Bang! The result was predictable; not a single whip landed on Iron Man.
Ivan Vanko was being battered back by Iron Man's repulsor blasts, unable to defend himself.
He was utterly humiliated.
Iron Man, displaying incredible dominance, advanced on Ivan Vanko and violently ripped the Arc Reactor from his body.
Ivan Vanko's electric whip instantly became "weak."
The surrounding police officers, who had been waiting, swarmed forward and arrested Ivan Vanko.
"When did you develop new armor!"
Ivan Vanko shouted at Iron Man with extreme unwillingness as he was being dragged away.
He had lost, and lost so completely.
He had schemed for so long, believing that this time he could wipe away the shame of the Vanko Family and make the Stark Family pay for their actions.
However, he failed.
Ivan Vanko was subsequently controlled by the police and locked up in a highly secure prison.
Iron Man, along with Pepper and Happy, quietly boarded their private jet back to America.
However, the events at the racetrack had swept across America like a hurricane, igniting the entire American media.
All the major news outlets and media were reporting frantically.
Because Iron Man, Tony Stark's new generation of Iron Armor, had made its debut in Morocco.
The arrival of the new Iron Armor was world-renowned, pushing Iron Man back into the spotlight and elevating his popularity to a new peak.
The military, the Department of Defense, and big shots from countries around the world all started frantically contacting Iron Man.
However, Iron Man ignored them all, did not hold any press conferences for his new armor, and did not offer any explanation for what happened in Morocco.
In short...
Since his "spectacular performance" in Morocco, Iron Man had become exceptionally low-profile, even disappearing from public view.
Major media outlets desperately sought interviews with Iron Man, but they couldn't find him anywhere.
Of course, this didn't include Nick Fury, the intelligence chief, who had appeared before Iron Man immediately.
"The new armor is one thing. You're Iron Man, so that's not surprising. But spatial technology? Stark, do you know how much effort I put in to suppress this matter?"
Nick Fury glared at Iron Man with his one eye, speaking with displeasure.
It was because of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intervention that the videos circulating from the racetrack that day weren't the originals, but rather "censored" versions.
They only showed Iron Man battling Ivan Vanko in the new armor, but not how Iron Man retrieved the new armor.
Otherwise, Iron Man wouldn't be sitting here calmly, listening to Nick Fury's complaints.
If space technology were to leak out, it would cause an even greater shock than the Iron Man armor. Iron Man would likely be facing countless hearings.
"I was forced to do it. Otherwise, Ivan Vanko would have killed me. What else could I do?" Iron Man shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.
