Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1429 Working together
Just as this luxury car was slowly driving through a remote street, a seemingly ordinary homeless man suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.

He was wearing an orange sanitation worker's uniform, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered in dirt, making it almost impossible to recognize his true identity.

Just as Hammer's car was slowly approaching and the driver was alertly preparing to slow down to avoid the suddenly appearing "homeless man", an astonishing scene happened.

Ivan swung his arms violently, causing the seemingly ordinary whip to draw brilliant tracks in the air.

This whip is no ordinary item. It is woven from a special high-strength conductive material with a micro current generator cleverly embedded inside.

These generators are able to accumulate and release high-voltage current in a very short period of time, creating a terrifying force that is enough to cut metal and even pose a fatal threat to cars.

The electric current jumped on the whip, accompanied by crackling sounds, as if the natural lightning was tamed and was freely exerted under Ivan's command.

Every swing of the whip was accompanied by the hissing sound of the air being ionized and the violent disturbance of the weak electromagnetic field in the surrounding environment.

This disturbance gives bystanders a strong visual impact.

As the electric current raged, the sanitation work clothes on Ivan were instantly ignited by the high temperature and turned into nothing, revealing his carefully prepared steel battle suit.

This suit lacks Tony Stark's iconic gorgeous armor, but is presented in a more practical and direct way - the exposed mechanical structure and intricate lines are intertwined, showing a rough yet sophisticated beauty.

Although the materials are simple, every design embodies Ivan's profound understanding of mechanical and energy technology.

The core of the suit is the arc-shaped arc reactor located in the center of the chest.

This is a small nuclear fusion device that Ivan built himself based on a precious blueprint he obtained from his father's belongings and his own knowledge of nuclear physics.

Despite its small size, its energy density is extremely high, enough to support all the functional requirements of Ivan's suit, including the power supply of the electromagnetic whip, the suit's mobility system, and the necessary defense mechanisms.

Ivan swung the electromagnetic whip, and the electric current was like an enraged dragon, with destructive force, it struck Hammer's luxury car not far away.

The moment the electric current comes into contact with the metal body, sparks fly like fireworks in the night sky, but behind this beauty lies a deadly threat.

Under the strong impact of the electric current, the car made a deafening noise and was eventually split into two.

The luxurious decoration and high-tech equipment inside, as well as Hammer and the cover model who had not yet escaped, were all shaken by this force and unable to move.

The electronic systems inside the car failed one after another under the ravages of the electric current and turned into a pile of scrap metal, while Hammer and the cover model's eyes were filled with fear and despair.

For Ivan Vanko, this is just the beginning of his revenge plan, a stage to show his strength to the world.

He slowly walked towards Justin Hammer who was lying on the ground, and every step seemed so heavy and powerful.

Justin Hammer was so frightened that his legs went limp, his face turned pale, and even his voice when he called for help became trembling.

"Don't kill me, I'll give you money. No matter how much money you pay to kill me, I'll give you double it!"

Justin Hammer quickly shouted to Ivan Vanko.

But Ivanvanko just looked at him coldly without responding.

This silence made Justin Hammer even more panicked, and he began to raise the price, trying to use money to exchange for his life.

"Five times! I'll give you five times the money!"

Justin Hammer's voice became sharp with anxiety, and his eyes were full of desire to survive.

Seeing Justin Hammer's performance, Ivan Vanko's conviction was as firm as a rock.

People like Justin Hammer can do anything for the sake of profit. Whether it is betraying friends or selling souls, for him, it is just a means to achieve his goals.

Now, facing the threat of death, this arms dealer regards money as his only salvation, as if only money can bring a little peace to his anxious heart.

Ivan Vanko finally spoke, "Do you want to surpass Tony Stark?"

Justin Hammer was stunned. He didn't expect Ivan Vanko to ask this question at this time.

A flash of surprise crossed his face, followed by confusion and bewilderment.

He thought Ivan Vanko would directly accept the conditions or threaten him, but he did not expect the other party to raise such a seemingly insignificant question.

"What?"

Justin Hammer squeezed the word out of his throat, his expression full of confusion and vigilance.

Ivan Vanko looked at Justin Hammer's reaction and a sneer appeared on his lips.

He knew that his extremely hardcore "job interview" had left a deep impression on Justin Hammer.

This impression is not just one of fear and uneasiness, but also of recognition and awe of his abilities.

And this impression is part of his revenge plan.

"You want to surpass Tony Stark, but you don't have the ability."

Ivan Vanko continued, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm and contempt, "You only know how to use other people's achievements to gain benefits through improper means. I am the one who truly understands technology and innovation."

Justin Hammer listened to Ivan Vanko's words and felt a nameless anger rising in his heart.

He knew he was seen through, but he didn't want to admit it.

He began to retort, trying to save his dignity with words: "Who do you think you are? Tony Stark? He's just a lucky upstart! I also have my talents and plans!"

However, Ivan Vanko did not want to continue listening to Justin Hammer's excuses.

He said directly: "I can help you make power armor."

Justin Hammer was stunned. He didn't expect Ivan Vanko to suddenly put forward this condition.

Power armor?

Is that the power armor he knew about?

That fighting machine that grants its wearer extraordinary powers?

His heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and a greedy gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Power armor?" Justin Hammer repeated the word excitedly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

He tried to stand up, but found that the seat belt was still fastened.

So he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and stood up impatiently.

"That depends on what support you can give me. You should know what this is, right?"

Ivan Vanko pointed to the arc-shaped arc reactor on his chest.

It was a device that flashed blue light and looked like a light bulb embedded in his chest.
