When Tony arrived at the scene, he found that the place was already in ruins. A huge collapsed pit formed by the explosion had a diameter of about forty to fifty meters.
The police, fire trucks, and medical staff arrived at the site of the disaster. They quickly pulled up a circle of alert zones nearby to rescue the injured people, clean up the ruins, and protect the site. They gradually began in an orderly manner.
However, in terms of efficiency, it could only be said that they understood everything. If someone was buried under the ground, it would depend on the will of heaven whether they were alive or dead.
However, it was fortunate that before the third explosion, all the groups of people had basically withdrawn, so the one with the most serious injuries was hit in the head by a stone that fell down, and the rest were all small injuries.
"Jarvis, search for survivors, locate the source of human body heat." Tony knew very well how inefficient the working efficiency of the United States was, so he decided to save people himself.
Soon, under Jarvis' powerful search, under the buried ruins in the center of the explosion, there were four extremely weak heat reactions.
Boom!
Tony drove the armor and directly flew in from the sky, ignoring the warning line below.
With the excellent driving force of the steel armor, it quickly cleaned up the ruins above, revealing the four people buried underneath.
It was Peter, Happy, Ned, and Michelle who hadn't had the time to retreat before being forced into battle.
Peter held a stone slab with both hands. The spider armor on his body was tattered, and his mask was almost half ruined. He revealed the young, childish face inside. There were bloody cuts all over the place, and it made people feel sorry for him.
Through observation of the scene, it was easy to restore the situation. A second before the explosion, Peter lifted a stone slab for defense. At the same time, he also used his body as a shield in front of the other three people. This caused him to be the most seriously injured, but the three people were spared because of this.
Tony was silent for a few seconds. He gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot. "Where is Potts, Jarvis?"
"I'm sorry, sir."
Jarvis' voice was a little low, mixed with a hint of apology. "The data of the Hera Mech was destroyed by an unknown attack before it could be sent back, so I'm not too sure about Miss Potts's current situation."
"Damn it!"
Tony was immediately furious, he punched the stone wall beside him, and the huge force directly destroyed the stone wall.
"Mr. Stark." Peter's eyelashes trembled, and he forced himself to lift his bruised blue and swollen eyelids. His cracked purple lips squirmed, and in a nearly inaudible voice, he said, "Yes. I'm sorry. I can't... protect... everyone."
At this moment, looking at the child with such serious injuries, Tony couldn't help but feel sad. He half-squatted and touched Peter's hair, comforting him, "It doesn't matter, Peter. I know you must have tried your best. You can't be blamed for this."
"Mr. Stark. Mr..." Peter used his last bit of strength to spread out his bloody right hand, which had been tightly clenched. In his palm was a white corner of his clothes. "The person who took Miss Potts away is the Wandenreich, Sternritter."
Tony picked up the corner of his clothes, his eyes burning with anger. He held Peter in his arms and said gratefully, "Thank you. Don't worry, I will find her. You should take care of yourself."
"And one more thing." Peter forced himself to say, "That person's ability... can trigger an explosion. Be careful!"
After saying this, Peter could no longer hold on. His head tilted as if he had lost his support. He rested his hand on Tony's shoulder and fell into a completely unconscious state.
"Jarvis, inform S. H. I. E. L. D.!"
Tony carefully put Peter down. Then, he got up and his eyes surged with killing intent. "Have them send someone to seal off the scene and save Peter."
Peter was seriously injured, and because of his special identity, he could not let outsiders know. In this case, letting S. H. I. E. L. D. deal with him was the best choice.
Happy and the other two children could also receive better treatment. In this regard, he trusted S. H. I. E. L. D. quite a lot.
With anger that was growing more and more, Tony walked out step by step. The reporters who had been waiting for a long time were like sharks that smelled blood, rushing over to ask questions.
Stark Group's CEO, Potts, was attacked by a terrorist attack. This was a once-in-a-lifetime big news. There would be no reward for first-hand reports, but if you fell behind, you would definitely be punished.
"Mr. Stark, may I ask if you have any thoughts about today's explosion?"
"Mr. Stark, may I ask if Ms. Potts has something to do? If something happens to her, will you consider the choice of the next CEO?"
"Mr. Stark, is the terrorist attack this time specifically targeted at you?"
"Mr. Stark, from the start to the end of the attack, there was a full fifteen minutes. May I ask why you didn't come in time?"
Everyone was looking forward to it, or some people with evil intentions mixed in. They tried to get even the slightest bit of information from this rich man and superhero!
In the face of the reporters 'aggressive interrogation, Tony didn't know what he was thinking. After a brief silence, he seemed to have decided what he wanted to say.
"I want to tell you, Mandarin."
The flames of anger surged in Tony's eyes, and he said word by word, "You have completely angered me. You have crossed my bottom line and have no political standpoint. This will be a bloody revenge. I swear I will kill you!"
"If you are still a man and not a coward without eggs, then come to me and let us have a fight between real men!"
"And those rats hiding in the gutter, I know you are here this time. It doesn't matter, it can be solved in one go."
"Malibu Beach, 10880, my door won't be locked, you should know where to go, I'm waiting for you!"
This was a declaration of war!
A declaration of war against the Ten Ring Gang, Mandarin, and the Wandenreich, the people who kidnapped Potts and injured Peter!
...
...
...
That night.
The video of Iron Man's declaration of war was placed at the top of all the mainstream media and video websites. The number of clicks on the video instantly broke through a hundred million, attracting countless people to watch. The topic of conversation was hot for a moment.
In a certain place in Tennessee. In an abandoned old mansion, a handsome blond man wearing a light blue suit sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was watching the provocative video.
"Hehe.."
There was no sign of joy on the man's face. He kept spinning the pen in his hand. It was only when the video insulted him as a man without any guts that a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
* CHI *
The man's palm was burning hot and a terrifying high temperature rose. The pen was melted into molten iron and flowed down the marble table to the ground.
The man who saw this scene walked in front of the blond man and lowered his head respectfully. "Sir Killian, should we send someone over to get rid of this arrogant guy?"
"Sure."
Killian waved his hand casually and sneered, "Didn't he announce the address? I can give him a small gift. You know what I'm talking about."
"Understood!"
The man seemed to have thought of something, and then he smiled sinisterly. "This arrogant guy, he probably won't even know what happened when the time comes."
"How are the preparations going on at Potts's side?" Killian asked.
"It's almost done. She's in the midst of debugging. She'll be injected with the virus soon," The man replied.
"Wait until we capture Tony and then inject him."
There was a hint of coldness on the corners of his lips. "I want him to see with his own eyes that the woman he loves the most has become my possession. Only then can I resolve the hatred in my heart!"
