The era of American comics begins

Chapter 448 Blood Warning

The Mandarin, who was once considered by the public to be a terrorist leader, is actually nothing more than a puppet of Aldrich Killian.Killian used the Extremis virus to continue to carry out terrorist attacks, but he himself only kept hiding behind the scenes to control the overall situation.The Mandarin is a character made for this, a terror personified, a leader.While the Mandarin had all the attention, Killian had enough room to move freely.

Later, Killian collapsed, and the AIM he founded was also finished. Of course, the actor who played the Mandarin was also captured by the authorities.But for some reason, the name "The Mandarin" lingered in Tony's mind for a while after all this was over.He clearly knew that this was just a fabricated image, an illusion that didn't exist at all, but he still couldn't feel completely at ease.

It feels like... like the name itself means something, like a curse.

Of course, these are just Tony's own baseless conjectures, and there is no evidence to support them.Killian is finished, Mandarin is just a puppet, and has been arrested and imprisoned, the whole system has fallen apart.What else is there to be afraid of?
And now, Tony came to the prison where the "Mandarin" was held again.

Two hours ago, there was an explosive attack on a branch of the Stark Corporation.The evidence at the scene is scarce, and there are few things that can be called clues.The only thing they know now is that the attack pattern is very similar to Extremis.

And today, the only one alive in Killian's organization is this funny Mandarin actor. Until 10 minutes ago.

And now, he's dead.

Tony came a step late.It happened just a few minutes after he contacted the warden of the prison. Tony informed the warden that he needed to ask the actor a few words, and then he went straight to the prison.And just 2 minutes later, the warden called again and told him that the poor man was dead.

But now, Tony came to the prison, stood in the cell where the poor guy was alive, silently watching the mess in the room.

Tragic, this is perhaps the most suitable word to describe this scene.The attack appeared to have come from overhead, for the ceiling had been pierced all the way through.Gravel was scattered all over the ground, and a large pool of blood was sprinkled on the ground.The poor wretch lay flat in the middle of the room, but his figure was beyond recognition.His whole body was almost burnt into a whole piece of black carbon, black, a bit like a dead tree stump.

If the other party directly used high temperature to burn him to death, then logically speaking, there shouldn't be so much blood.Then there is only one explanation - the other party deliberately put so much blood before burning him to death, and its purpose may be related to the writing left on the wall.

"Your nightmare is coming, Stark."

There was such a line written crookedly on the wall, and there was a pattern drawn with blood behind it, which looked like a badge.Tony recognized the badge, it was the mark of the Ten Rings.

Speaking of the Ten Commandments Gang, it actually has a lot to do with him.When his uncle Obadai Stan tried to hire someone to murder him and wanted to monopolize the Stark Group by himself, the accomplices he contacted were the Ten Rings Gang.It was also the fact that the Ten Rings locked Tony in the dark cave and forced him to assemble missiles, which directly contributed to the birth of Iron Man.

Later, Killian used the same name of the Ten Rings Gang when he sorted out the whole mess of adults.It's just that his trick was exposed later, and the Mandarin was proved to be just a fiction, and his Ten Rings gang just borrowed their name, and it was not the same group as the terrorist organization that kidnapped Tony before.

So now it seems that the real Ten Rings Gang came to make trouble.This is them standing up, a warning to Iron Man that they are back and with a different determination.

"The monitoring has been hacked by someone." The warden said shamefully to Tony, "We didn't expect this to happen at all. The other party moved so fast that our people didn't have time to react at all."

"Anyone see what the other looks like?" Tony asked.

"No."

"Where did the other party go?"

"I don't know. We've never been trained to deal with this kind of situation, which is kind of unexpected."

"Okay, I get it, Warden." Tony said calmly, "I just need to know this, then please take your people out, and I will take over next."

The warden nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I can't help you any more, Mr. Director."

After speaking, he took the people out.

Tony took a deep breath and walked into the room that smelled of fresh burnt and blood.He took out a few spheres from his pocket and threw them into the center of the room. The spheres shot out virtual blue rays of light, and began to collect data for the reconstruction of the room model.

"Sill." He pressed the headset on his right ear and said, "Have you got any results from your flight tracking?"

"In the past half an hour, you were the only air visitor who flew to that prison, Director." Maria Hill replied, "Either the other party has extremely advanced stealth equipment, or they didn't take the air route at all."

"They've been in and out of prison in such a short time, they've got to leave something. Keep investigating, Hill."

"I know." Hilton paused and asked, "Where are you?"

"I don't know anything about the prison, and I haven't even seen the other person. I will arrange two special agents to interrogate in detail, but I don't hold out much hope." Tony said, "I am currently building a prison in the prison where the incident happened. Model, go back and do some data analysis to see if you can find anything."

"You know, you don't actually have to run these things yourself." Hill said helplessly, "When Fury was the chief, he never went out in person like you."

"But it's not just about Aegis, it's about myself. There are some things I don't feel comfortable entrusting to other people."

"You are the chief, you have to learn to trust your agents. They are still very good."

"Yes, but I'm also Iron Man, an Avenger. Besides, I asked you to arrange an agent to do the interrogation."

"Well, anyway, you are the boss now." Hill found that he couldn't be persuaded, so he had no choice but to give up.

Compared with Nick Fury, who likes to sit in the mothership and plan strategies, Tony is obviously more accustomed to going to the scene to deal with problems in person.It may be because he feels that as Iron Man, he is the strongest fighter, and other people should not take risks.Or maybe it was because he was used to acting alone, and he felt that many things should be handled safely by himself.

For him, the biggest role of Director of SHIELD seems to be more resources and wider sources of intelligence.

"Oh, in addition, please contact the military. I remember that there is a department in charge of the 'Ten Rings Gang', right?"

"it seems that."

"Get me in touch," Tony said. "I need to know everything about the Ten Rings, right now."
