Chapter 30 The First Attack of the Whiplash

Tony takes Happy and Pepper to Monaco for the big game.

John and Jessica got off in another car.

When Happy and Blake went to park the car, the four walked into the luxury hotel where they were going to watch the Monaco Grand Prix of Antique Cars.

"This is Europe, whatever happens in the next 10 minutes, let it be," Tony said.

"Let it be? What do you mean?" Pepper asked.

"Like that..." Tony was trying to give an example like Natalie becoming his assistant, like he wanted to participate in the competition himself...

"Mr. Stark." Natalie smiled charmingly. She was wearing a sexy red dress today. "Hi, how's your trip?"

"Very nice, nice to meet you," Tony replied.

"If you don't mind, a photographer from the Automobile Club of Monaco wants to take a picture of you." Natalie, like Pepper before, asked about Tony's decision.

"Yes." Tony agreed.

Natalie picked up the wine glasses in their hands and put them on the waiter's tray.

Pepper looked at Tony with a smile, but his tone was gnashing his teeth. "When did this happen?"

"What? You forced me." Tony said innocently.

"How did I force you?" Pepper glared at Tony.

"You resigned, just smile, look there, don't look constipated." Tony changed the subject.

Pepper could only smile and look at the camera.

"I will never change my nature." Pepper pulled it down after taking a picture of his face.

But so far, Tony is happy with his decision, and Natalie's fluent French comes in handy when ordering drinks.

Pepper looked around the room and saw TVs everywhere, showing pre-game news reports, and then she spotted Justin Hammer walking across the room.Tony saw him too, and put on a disgusted expression.

"Anthony!" Hammer yelled in a low voice as he made his way to the table.He nodded to Pepper and said, "Is that you? Hey buddy, I'm not the only rich guy here with a fancy car. I just wanted to come over and congratulate Miss Potts on her promotion."

"Thank you." Pepper said.

"You guys know Kristen Everhart from Vanity Fair? She did the hype for me in the magazine," Hammer said.

"I was betting she did it just now," Pepper said.

They tell each other funny things while Tony wonders what Everhart is doing here.

The reporter had already tracked down his weapons-making business and inadvertently helped him expose what Obadiah Stane was up to.

What is her current position?Could it be that Hammer Industries is trying to win the defense equipment contract that Stark Industries gave up?

Hammer turned to Tony and said, "Actually, I hope to use that platform to let me show something before your expo ends."

"Great!" Tony said. "I want you to know that we put a lot of emphasis on products that work. If you don't mind, I want to clean myself up before the dance."

Tony sneaked out of the room quickly for a while, and checked his blood toxicity at the same time.

The displayed value is 53%.He was halfway on the road to his fearful death.

Tony sighed, thinking that he would soon be forced to have a sun plug in his chest, and it didn't look like Monaco was the best idea.

He hasn't calculated John's "artificial stars" himself and he's saved himself twice.

Could it be that this time, he will also lose to him in the field he is good at?
But so what?Today is game day!He's going to have a good time.

A few minutes later, Hammer and Christine chatted.He was surprised to find out that the other party knew Tony better than he had previously revealed, but he didn't intend to think about it.

"Tony and I," Hammer said, "I love Tony. We're not in a competitive relationship." He heard the voices of the hosts, who spoke different languages, get excited as she looked past his. over the shoulder.Has the game already started?

What Hammer saw on the big screen made him gasp.

On the high-definition screen, a life-size Tony Stark sits in a Stark Industries vehicle, dressed in the same costume as the other drivers.

He adjusted the steering wheel, gave a thumbs up to the audience all over the world, and roared off from the starting line.

Although Hammer couldn't understand a word of French, he could still understand the tone of speech in various languages, and he could tell that the French announcer was going crazy.

At this time, he heard someone gasp from the other side of the room, it was Xiaojiali, and she had just seen the TV screen.

From the looks of it, she certainly didn't know about it.She and Tony Stark's hot new assistant are conferring, perhaps, on how to deal with their showy boss.

And he's not even Xiaojiali's boss now, Xiaojiali should really fire him.

"Mind if I step away?" Kristen said.

"Where are you going?" Hammer asked. "I ordered some caviar, which will be served soon."

But she's gone. "That Tony Stark," thought Hammer, "knows how to keep a secret." He didn't like that guy at all.

The game has started and Ivan is ready.He put on his gear and took two whips.

When the time came, he activated the two whips and walked straight to the track. The whips passing through the armor generated extremely high heat, and the overalls of the track operation and maintenance personnel worn outside to hide the eyes were burned.

The whip in his left hand sliced ​​across the chain-link fence under the stands, leaving a gap in the sidewalk as if it were empty.

He came to the safety fence separating the track. It was a fence made of three layers of metal plates, but with a flick of his wrist, he easily cut it open.At this time, a racing car roared towards him.This is what Americans call show time (performance time).

Ivan stood in the middle of the track, the orange racing club staff uniform on his body was lit by the exposed energy transmission tube.

He was tall, with long straight and thin hair hanging down, wearing a metal exoskeleton shell, and two unidentifiable ropes, cables, or whips were connected to a glowing thing on his chest.

The first car approached him, and the front of the car was chopped off with a flick of the electric whip.

The second car is the blue racing car driven by Tony, and the front of the car was also cut off.

Tony took off his helmet and tried desperately to get out of the cockpit.

From his perspective, he could clearly see that the strange man holding a pair of electric whips was walking towards him step by step.

Several racing cars behind him tried to brake and lost control one after another, colliding with each other and causing violent explosions.Wrecked vehicles piled up around him as the cars swerved to avoid the intruder.

"That's not a good sign," Pepper said.She stared at the intruder, who was wearing what looked like a miniature Ark reactor.Where did he get this?
"John?" Pepper hurriedly looked for John.

"Sorry, we didn't bring anything with us on a trip." John sat in the best position in the luxury hotel, where most of the screens could be seen clearly and it was relatively quiet.

Happy came over. "What happened?" he asked.

"Where's the 'football'?" Pepper asked quickly.Happy held it up, an aluminum briefcase painted the same crimson as Iron Man's suit.

They code-named the thing "Football" and chained it to Happy's arm.

Pepper tells Natalie to get Tony's plane ready for takeoff, then turns to Happy and says, "Let's go."

They hurried to the limo, and Pepper said, "Give me the keys." Happy held out his arm so she could get to the football's lock as they ran out of the hotel and rushed to the VIP area.

Left in the restaurant, Natalie called on her cell phone and said, "He's going to be ten soon." She looked around to make sure no one was watching her. "It's very vulnerable right now," she said.

And so is Natalie.Her support group is far away from her, which can escalate misunderstandings and jeopardize her mission.She can't allow this to happen.

Natalie held up her phone and listened for a while, then said, "I see," and hung up.Then she had to respond to Pepper's order, so she made another call to make sure the Stark Industries plane was ready to fly as soon as Tony was ready.

The broken pieces of the car fell in front of the tall man.He had to whip his whip to clear the debris from the car in front of him.

It also gave Tony time to escape the car.

The whip rips through the car, tearing the cockpit in half.

But Tony was no longer in it.

The guy wielding the whip roared like a beast, and the whip in his hand flew towards Tony, but Tony had already avoided it and ran to the bunker.But all he saw was the race car cut to pieces, beautiful machinery reduced to heaps of expensive junk.

One car had its roof turned upside down, at an angle to the ground, perhaps as a temporary shelter, and the racing track was full of gas leaks.

Tony suddenly had a plan.He rushed under the car and yanked the gas cap open, stumbling to avoid splashing fuel.The whip-wielding guy approached the car, and Tony ran away as soon as he came within range of him.

The scorching whip split the car's engine and landed in a pool of fuel on the track.A huge explosion ensued, shattering the car into unrecognizable fragments and sending Tony spinning into a wall of hay bales at the corner of the track.He finally stood up, and then looked at the dissipating fireball.

The whip-wielding man was walking toward Tony through the flames, as if nothing stood in his way, and the only thing in the world he cared about was Tony.

"I see Tony!" Happy shouted. The best thing about Morocco is that this game is in the city center, so the hotel is actually very close to the game field, and they should be able to catch up by driving a little faster.Happy had just slammed through a gate and put the car on the track - but he was going the wrong way.

There were piles of wrecked cars in front of us, pit crews were running up and down the track trying to help drivers, spectators were running up and down the stands, and the track was full of fire.

Happy couldn't see Tony.A fireball on the track obscured his vision.Happy had to speed up.

They finally found Tony.

Happy immediately understood the situation in front of him: Tony was half buried in the fallen buffer haystack, struggling to stand up; a large area of ​​the track not far from him was wading in the sea of ​​flames; And a huge lunatic came out of the fire with electric whips, crackling them on the ground, grinning all the time.

Now there was only one choice, and Happy started to deal with it immediately.He slammed the steering wheel, then slammed on the brakes hard, letting the body of the car swing over and smash the madman into the guard rail at the end of the rear.The car slammed into the crash barrier so hard that it deformed and the airbag in the car deployed.The guy was finally pinned against the wall.

"What's the next step?" Happy thought to himself, noticing his boss walking in the direction of the car as the already heavily lined windows shattered.Pepper yells at Tony to get in the car, and Tony yells at her to throw the suitcase at him.

Meanwhile, Happy keeps slamming on the gas pedal, keeping the maniac from swinging his whip.As soon as Tony touched the suitcase, the car body jolted violently.

The maniac rose to his feet in the back of the car, yelling savagely as a whip whizzed over Tony's head, splitting the nearest car door in half.

The second whip ripped through the reinforced armored roof as easily as a layer of aluminum foil.Tony turned away.The man frantically beat the car body with a whip, trying to break free.He knocked off the roof and engine bay, and even sliced ​​the back seat of the car to pieces.

Pepper yells "Tony!" from the car, slides the "football" towards him along the slippery road, and bends over with Happy, hoping Tony can get the car they're hiding in before it's a wreck all of these.

Incredibly, the whip-wielding maniac with what may have been a blaster converter on his chest managed to cut a gap in the front of the car big enough for him to get out.He managed to emerge through the wreckage towards Tony.

Tony entered the password in the place next to the handle of the "football", and the suitcase made a "squeak" sound, indicating that the password was entered correctly.He opened the case and put one foot in the middle of the suitcase.The lighter Iron Man suit Mark 5 stretches from Tony's feet along his body, enveloping him.

It's not the same as the full Iron Man suit, but it's still powerful.

When the energy whip struck Tony, the Mark 5 just finished assembling itself, and the whip landed on the left shoulder of the suit, making a sci-fi soft sound.

There was a faint blue energy shield where the whip touched the battle armor, and the shield disappeared naturally when the whip swept over it.

The color of the shield was so similar to the arc on the whip that it was difficult for others to detect it.

Only the electric whip was seen passing by, and Iron Man was unharmed.

After resisting the next few attacks, Tony fixed his eyes on the shock wave converter on the man's chest.

"How is this possible?" Tony thought to himself, "Even the Ministry of Defense doesn't know how the Ark reactor technology works. What the hell is this guy showing up in Monaco and wrecking the place with a double whip driven by a shockwave converter? ?”

Ivan was even more surprised, "How is it possible? No matter how hard the whip hits, it returns to nothing?"

He could only change his mind and let the whip attack Iron Man's chest reactor as much as possible.

A whip swung across Tony's torso, narrowly missing Tony's blaster converter.

Tony grabbed the whip-wielding arm and flung the man into the wreckage of two smoking cars.

When he stood up, Tony had loaded the blaster and fired at him.

The guy swung a whip and deflected the incoming energy beam.Tony had never encountered anything like this before.

He was surprised for a moment and had to accept the fact.The whip-wielding guy wraps a whip around Tony's neck and pulls it hard, pulling Tony to the ground, but he miscalculates.Tony grabbed the whip and wrapped it around his glove, feeling the whip getting shorter.Then he swung the guy up, spun him around, and dragged him out into the driveway.

Then, before he could get up, Tony tore off the shockwave converter from his chest and took a closer look.He couldn't believe what he saw.

The police swarmed and surrounded the madman.He kept laughing as they dragged him away.

"You lost," he repeated over and over again, with an unmistakable Russian accent, "you lost."

The unscathed Iron Man was extremely shocked, and crushed the reactor in his hand.
