Chapter 1428 Searching for Dragon Ball
Ivan Vanko stood in his simple laboratory full of memories, his eyes fixed on the dragon ball that was emitting a faint light.

His father, Anton Vanko, a genius who was once infinitely close to the pinnacle of science, fell due to a political storm and eventually disappeared in the cold wind of Siberia.

Ivan Vanko firmly believed that if he could use these seven dragon balls to revive his father, then all the sacrifices would be worth it.

But first, he needs to have a deep understanding of these dragon balls.

Countless thoughts flashed through Ivanvanko's mind, and he realized that relying solely on naked eye observation and intuitive guessing was far from enough.

What he needs is high-tech equipment, the kind that can see through the structure of matter and analyze the flow of energy.

Such equipment is almost impossible to find in his country, that huge and heavy bear empire.

His gaze passed through the laboratory window and looked toward the distant West. There, America, a country where technology and natural laws go hand in hand, might hold the key to unlocking the secret of Dragon Ball.

Ivan Vanko knew that the road to America would not be easy.

As the son of a marginalized scientist, he had no legal passport and insufficient funds to buy a plane ticket.

But he has an indomitable heart and a deep love for his father.

He began to plan how to cross the border in the most covert and safe way and head to that unknown land.

During the preparation stage, Ivanvanko used his limited resources in Siberia to collect as much information as possible about American technology companies.

He learned that large multinational corporations, such as Stark Industries, not only had the most advanced laboratories in the world, but were also involved in many fringe scientific researches, which might be exactly what he needed to analyze the Dragon Balls.

However, how to approach these resources became a huge problem facing him.

On a cold winter night, Ivan Vanko put on a heavy cotton coat and set out on a journey to the border.

He chose a hidden route, avoided official checkpoints, and relied on the survival skills his father taught him and his own wisdom to cross the vast snowfield.

He encountered many difficulties along the way, including several encounters with wild animals and having to find temporary shelter due to bad weather.

Finally, he came to a remote port town, which was the starting point for many illegal immigrants trying to cross the ocean.

Ivan Vanko knew very well that by taking this step, he would step into a more complicated and dangerous world.

He carefully contacted the local human traffickers, who appeared to be ordinary fishermen or businessmen, but actually controlled secret passages leading to an unknown world.

Ivan Vanko used his only savings in exchange for a cabin, a crowded, dark space full of unknown fear, but for him, it was the only path to hope.

The smuggling process was far more difficult than Ivanvanko had imagined.

They were riding on a dilapidated wooden boat, which was bumping along in the rough sea.

Among his fellow travelers, there are refugees who, like him, are eager for a new life, as well as criminals with evil intentions.

Ivanvanko remained vigilant at all times and used the fighting skills he had learned to protect himself in several conflicts.

After several days of drifting, they finally approached the American coastline.

Ivanvanko's heartbeat quickened. However, the process of landing was not smooth, and they were intercepted by the coast patrol.

In the chaos, Ivan Vanko escaped the pursuit in the night with his wit and the preliminary prototype of the iron suit.

After arriving in America, Ivan Vanko changed his identity and started his new life.

During the day, Ivan works silently in a small electronics factory. His hands move between precision electronic components, as if he is weaving dreams for the future.

Despite the simple working environment, he never complained. Instead, he made use of the resources here to constantly hone his skills, while secretly observing industry trends and looking for opportunities for breakthroughs.

At night, it is his ocean of knowledge, and the library becomes his second home.

There, he read the latest scientific journals voraciously and learned the most cutting-edge technical knowledge through the Internet, covering everything from artificial intelligence to quantum computing.

He has a firm belief in his heart: only by standing at the forefront of technology can he have the opportunity to realize his revenge plan and prove his worth.

At the same time, look for opportunities to enter large technology companies.

He realized that it would be almost impossible to apply directly to a giant company like Stark Industries, so he began to plan a series of small inventions, hoping to attract attention through these small achievements.

Among many potential partners, "Hammer Industries" gradually came into Ivan's sight.

Unlike Stark Industries, Justin Hammer, the boss of Hammer Industries, although inherited a huge business from his father, is known in the industry for his incompetence and ambition.

Justin always tries to improve his status by various means, even at the cost of competing with Stark Industries, although the results are often ridiculous.

In Ivan's view, this is exactly the weakness he can exploit. An opponent who is eager to prove himself but lacks real strength is the best partner for him to realize his plan.

Ivan Vanko took the relief food from America, ate fruits and bread that he didn't know whether they contained viruses, and locked on his desired target.

Originally he was very optimistic about Ares Industries, but he saw in the newspapers that the boss of Ares Industries had a very good relationship with Tony Stark, and both of them were technological superheroes who fought crime together.

From this point of view, it was impossible for Ivan Vanko to go to Ares Industries. At this time, Hammer Industries attracted his attention.

Justin Hammer, the boss of Hammer Industries.

In order to get to know Justin Hammer more deeply, Ivan began a half-month-long surveillance.

Like a detective, he carefully observed Justin's daily whereabouts, recorded his living habits, and even analyzed his personality and preferences through social media.

In the process, Ivan discovered that Justin had a significant weakness - vanity.

Justin is keen on showing off his wealth and status, especially comparing himself to Stark Industries, which makes him appear extremely impulsive and blind at times.

Ivan decided to appear in front of Justin in a shocking way at the right time so that he could not ignore his existence.

Then in a remote street with few surveillance cameras and passers-by.

Justin Hammer was sitting in his luxury car with a young model in his arms. She was one of the cover models that Tony Stark had slept with. Justin Hammer thought that when he returned, he must let this cover model compete with him and Tony to see who was more powerful.
