"How could you be so calm? You might be able to ignore heavy weapons like their guns and missiles after wearing your armor, but aren't you afraid that the others will be in danger?"
Rhodes looked around and found that everyone in the room shared the same calm expression. Rhodes was speechless. Why aren't you panicking?
"Calm down, Rhodes. You guys can stay here—leave the small fries to me!"
Tony poured all the red wine in his glass to his mouth and then stood up, stretching his shoulders!
Suddenly, a palm-sized triangular device appeared out of nowhere, floating in the air and flying slowly at Tony! Tony caught it in his hand.
"This is my latest armor, and today will be its debutante. Now, this is a real eye-turner!"
The energy from the Arc Reactor visibly flowed into the triangular device, which slowly emitted a soft white light!
...
"Stark, don't you remember? We haven't loaded the armor with weapon systems yet. Are you sure you want to wear it against enemies with hot weapons?
Banner suddenly interrupted Tony!
The device could expand and cover the entire body with nanomechanical armor, but other than flying and hand-to-hand combat support, the specifications and weapons that Li Yue described hadn't been implemented yet!
Therefore, Banner was a little worried about Tony!
After all, the opponents clearly bore ill intention. Daring, too, since they dared to attack highly secure venue guarded by the military!
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. I won't do anything that I'm not sure about! And don't forget what happened earlier: I have my own ways to attack them!"
Tony ignored Banner's warning and kept his arrogant tone!
"Alright, I almost forgot that you're not a normal person anymore! Still, be careful. They might have secret plans."
Banner had only remembered that Tony was no longer just a normal human, even without the armor.
Although he wasn't sure how powerful the superpower was, with the invincible defense of nanotech armor, there was nothing to worry about!
"Keep your eyes open and just watch my show!"
Tony slapped the triangular device to his chest, and giving his audience an immensely cool spectacle!
From the triangular device, traces of metallic nanomaterial flowed like liquid seeped out and quickly spread across Tony's body!
The nanomaterial divided into layers upon layers, extending from the Arc Reactor to cover Tony's entire body. The outermost layer had a metallic sheen and was dark red, making the armor look absolutely gorgeous!
It took less than five seconds for Tony to go through the transformation sequence, from ordinary person to the great Iron Man, The armor covered his entire body, leaving no gap!
The nanotech armor looked less mechanical than his previous armor, but it was much more practical!
Moreover, it had much more awesome abilities than the previous armors combined!
...
Li Yue had seen the transformation before, and even read netizen analysis on the internet forum. The nanotech armor was composed of five layers of nanomaterial!
Now that he had witnessed the whole transformation scene directly, he could confirm the netizens' theory about the layers, However, all they ever knew were the special effects on the movie, while Li Yue had seen the real thing in front of him!
"Tony, how did you do this? It's so cool!"
Banner and Li Yue were the only ones that weren't surprised and stunned by Tony's cool transformation, but Rhodes was the only one that exclaimed loudly!
"Cough, Rhodes, if you ever act like that in public, please never said that we know each other!
"Anyway, everyone, please enjoy my show!"
Tony turned to Rhodes and complained, his metal eyes gleaming. He then instantly took off through the window, straight out of the villa!
...
"Look, what is that?"
"Wow, is that Iron Man?"
"Iron Man, I love you, let me give birth to your baby!!"
...
Tony's sudden appearance, clad in the Iron Man armor, ignited the crowd! Countless screams and cries of shock seemed to shake the banquet!
"Thank you for your attendance. I wish you all a good night!"
Tony, clad in his bright red armor, paused in mid air, enjoying the screams and cheers from the crowd!
What a show off!
He then waved at the crowd flashily, before flying to the distance towards the sea!
The uninvited guests were rapidly approaching from that direction! There was no doubts about their hostility!
"Jarvis, bring me to full speed. I don't want these uninvited guests to disturb our banquet!The only thing they would be attending is their own sea burial!"
Tony ordered Jarvis from within the armor! Immediately, the already-fast armor accelerated rapidly, cruising at extreme speed along the sea!
Due to Jarvis' early detection, and the opponents' slow helicopter—it was laughable compared to fighter jets, so they were still quite a distance away from Tony's villa!
With the armor's top speed, Tony only need a few seconds before he could see his opponents with the naked eyes!
"Fly me a little closer—I want to show them my new ability!"
If he was in different armor, and if he hadn't awakened his abilities, Tony would've launched his missiles from a safe distance!
However, despite his current armor still lacking any weapons, Tony had no thought of retreating!
...
"Boss, we found an unknown object moving towards us! It's likely that it's the Iron Man!"
The helicopter crew had also noticed that Tony was flying at them.
"What are we waiting for? Open fire! Also, send two helicopters past the Iron Man right to the villa. Our purpose this time is to create chaos!"
"Understood, boss!"
In accordance to the bald man's command, two helicopters split from the formation to the right and to the left.
The remaining four helicopters each unleashed two fireballs from their belly: launching a total of eight missiles towards Tony one after another!
"Heh, I don't care who you are, but since you have challenged the great Tony Stark, you should be prepared for the consequences!"
Tony saw that eight missiles had been launched at him, but he stayed calm and showed no sign of panic. He simply killed his momentum and hovered above the sea!
