Chapter 319 The Dust Settles
A week passed.

The United States, which was in turmoil and chaos, finally calmed down. Although the country is still shrouded in a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere, people will take to the streets from time to time to offer flowers and candles to the innocent victims of the bombing attack. The TV station also reported the incident The sensational funeral, as if all of a sudden, everyone was immersed in sadness.

But time will heal all pain, the world does not exist for only one person, people still have to survive, no matter the state is good or bad.

Even if they lose a family member or a national leader, the trajectory of life does not stop because of anyone.

The sky was blue and cloudless that day, and the morning sun shone on the body, making people feel warm.On Umbrella's lawn, Maya Hansen pushed Pepper in a wheelchair. The two outstanding women chatted with each other and seemed to get along just fine.

"Ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend... why are you watching from the side, hurry up and go over."

Sean walked to the transparent corridor, leaning on the railing with his hands, and a funny smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was rare to see Tony Stark, who was a playboy, with a depressed expression on his face.

"You did it on purpose, right? You have to bring Maya and Pepper together!"

Tony complained that he has been ridiculed and ridiculed by Pepper these days, and all the previous romantic affairs have been turned out.

This makes the playboy who used to roam around in the flowers and love fields inevitably feel a little embarrassed. After all, not everyone is willing to examine their ridiculous past.

"The Extremis virus was invented by Ms. Maya Hansen. It is very reasonable for me to give Pepper to her."

Sean shrugged his shoulders, his tone innocent, God knows if he was snickering in his heart, waiting to see a good show.

Tony was so choked that he couldn't speak, and turned his head angrily. Everything was to be blamed on that bastard Killian, who actually injected Pepper with the Extremis virus. If he was not lucky enough to withstand the painful process of genetic modification, he would A capable little chili would probably explode into a firework.

Thinking about it so far, he still feels a little scared. There are so few people in this world who are worth cherishing. If he loses Pepper who is by his side, Tony doesn't know how he should bear this pain.

It has been a week since the terrorist attacks of the Ten Rings Gang and the Mandarin. Tony, who summoned the entire Iron Legion, and Killian's Extremis, had a fierce battle on a cargo ship off the coast of California. fighting.

To be honest, this should be the most dangerous time in the history of Iron Man. After the ultimate transformation, Killian has completely become a superhuman, and his overall physical fitness has been terribly improved. open.

And it also has powerful recovery ability. As long as the heart and brain are not injured, they can heal quickly. The attached high temperature can make him spew flames, melt gold and sell iron, and dismantle several steel armors with bare hands in succession, leaving Tony with almost nothing. The ability to fight back.

"By the way, I'm sorry, I failed to save the president." Sean lowered his eyelids and said in a sad tone.

"It's not your fault. No one would want to get those bastards and blow up the plane directly."

Tony waved his hand. The Ten Rings blew up Air Force One. President Ellis and his secret service members were all killed. This incident was called the second "911" in the United States. The world shook and the whole country was deeply saddened, just like the assassination of Kennedy .

Vice President Underwood immediately took over the position and officially entered the White House. At the same time, he reorganized the cabinet and stabilized the domestic turmoil with quick responses and flexible means.Not long ago, in Arlington National Cemetery, he gave a eulogy with a sad face, claiming that this is a difficult test for the United States. They will never surrender to terrorists. Every citizen of this country will bravely join hands to get out of the predicament.

This passage has been unanimously recognized by the public, and there are endless praises. Many people believe that under the leadership of the new president, the United States can dispel the heavy haze of terrorist attacks and usher in the long-lost light.

Sure enough, the Ten Rings Gang was quickly destroyed. Aldrich Killian, who was behind the scenes, died at the hands of Iron Man, and Trevor Straary, the actor who played the Mandarin, was arrested and imprisoned. Tony's old friend Justin Hammer went for company.

The culprit was punished, which allowed the anger of the people to pour out, the original turbulent public opinion gradually subsided, and life returned to normal, except that the country had a new leader, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

"All mistakes are rooted in me." Tony looked at the green lawn, a trace of regret flashed across his face, "I created Killian, and he created the Ten Rings and the Mandarin, the prank in 1999, That was probably one of the biggest mistakes of my life."

In the past few days, he has been reflecting on his past. The bad character of being arrogant has indeed hurt many people.Arrogance is a characteristic of the Stark family, but excessive vitriol is a bad habit that needs to be broken.

"Tony Stark, who self-criticizes himself, is really rare." Sean's relaxed laughter dilutes the calm atmosphere.

It seems that this self-world-centered Iron Man is moving towards transformation and maturity, at least bid farewell to the previous image of a libertine.

"Killian said something strange before he died. The Mandarin would avenge him, and it was still in Chinese. But in fact, this person does not exist. There are no Mandarin, and there is no Ten Rings Gang."

Tony is a little puzzled. He has investigated all of this. Killian founded AIM after graduation, and is committed to building a complete scientific think tank. He has long accepted investment from unknown mysterious organizations. Some leather bag companies located overseas have no way to find out the real flow of funds.

The only thing worth noting is that Killian has been to China and is very fond of oriental culture, other than that, there is no more useful news.

"Do you think there is a Mandarin in this world? The guy who plays him is honestly in prison, and I heard that he has become a star."

Sean patted Tony on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Find a better psychiatrist, your anxiety is very serious."

"Perhaps you are right."

Stark nodded, he also thought that he was thinking too much, the nightmare was over, and the dust of this crisis had settled and came to an end.

Although Iron Man did not save the world in the end, Killian's plan to assassinate the president was successful, but at least the Ten Rings were wiped out, allowing the murderer behind the scenes to receive his due trial.

In a way, Tony did everything he could, even if someone got hurt along the way.

But as Sean said, they are not all-knowing and omnipotent saviors, and cannot play the role of God.

"Pepper said you took a copy of Extremis virus?" Sean asked casually. "Don't try something dangerous."

"I have my own ideas." Tony replied vaguely.

Killian's Extremis virus gave him a lot of inspiration and inspiration. The power of steel armor alone is not enough, and he needs to become stronger.

At least hope that when the next crisis occurs, no one will be victimized.
