American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Perhaps it was Tony's friendly attitude that made Harry relax. He then ran up to the Iron Man suit to take a look and excitedly exclaimed, "That's so cool! Can you make it move?"

The cool appearance of the Iron Man armor is something that ordinary toys can't compare to.

It would be absolutely irresistible to a little guy like Harry.

“Of course~” Tony was infected by the little guy’s emotions and walked to the Iron Man armor with a smile.

Then they discovered that after a whole night, the armor had only charged less than 20% of its energy.

"Sorry, you might have to wait a while to see the real Iron Man."

Twenty percent of the energy was enough for Tony to fly back to Apple City.

However, Tony hadn't forgotten that he was still being watched by a group of terrorists.

In order not to bring danger to Pepper.

He decided to deal with the terrorists first before returning to Apple City to meet up with Pepper.

Therefore, it is essential to keep the Iron Man armor fully powered.

"Is that so?" Harry was a little disappointed that he couldn't see the mobile Iron Man armor right away, but then the little guy asked hopefully, "After the armor is fully charged, can you help me drive away those bad guys in town?"

“Of course, but you have to tell me first, who are those bad guys?” Tony replied nonchalantly.

In his mind, the people who would bully an orphan were probably just local thugs or scoundrels.

“I heard from the adults in town that those bad guys seem to be a group of terrorists from outside the town. They’ve built a huge manor on the east side of town…” Harry thought hard. “They have a kind of potion that can turn people into monsters. People who are injected with it will burst into flames and then explode…”

"Because of this, many people died in the town."

As the little guy narrated, Tony's expression changed from indifference to becoming increasingly serious.

“I seem to recall this situation, Extremis virus... I think that’s the name.” Tony seemed to have grasped something, then fell into deep thought.

His attack was not entirely without warning.

Initially, it was because Happy accidentally stumbled upon terrorists selling the Extremis virus.

Then he suffered retaliation from the terrorists and was seriously injured.

Later, after learning that his driver and bodyguard Happy had been bullied, Tony, out of indignation, publicly declared war on the terrorists.

Then, Tony was attacked at his private villa in Marbury.

If Tony's memory serves him right, some of the terrorists who attacked Happy and his group also seemed to have flames on their bodies.

"Can you describe to me in detail what the flames on those people looked like?" Tony asked, his expression becoming excited as he connected everything.

In this situation, it's truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Tony never expected that he would have such an unexpected and successful outcome.

"Fine, just take me to town." With a goal in mind, Tony looked at the little guy's hesitant manner and immediately devised the next course of action.

Children's descriptions may be wrong, so the safest way is to see it for yourself.

Are the terrorists in both locations the same group of people?

If so, then what Tony needs to do next becomes simple.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Chapter 679 Extremist Virus (Continued)

"No one knows where those terrorists came from, only that shortly after they arrived in town, they recruited a large number of local thugs..."

On the way to the town center, Harry recounted the information he had gathered about the terrorists: "These thugs who have been injected with drugs are not only incredibly strong but also have the ability to breathe fire. Then they help the terrorists rob banks or large shopping malls."

"The townspeople have long dared not speak out against them..."

The peaceful life of the small town was disrupted, and the residents were naturally unhappy.

Moreover, those terrorists were clearly premeditated and organized, and the town's security forces alone were simply unable to deal with them.

"Shh~"

Tony suddenly pulled Harry, who was engrossed in his story, to a street corner to hide.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already arrived at the central part of the town.

On the main road not far away, there were three guys carrying travel bags, which were full of green banknotes.

Behind them, a group of armed police officers were chasing after them.

Clearly, Tony and his companion had stumbled upon the scene of a bank robbery.

The three robbers, who had been injected with the Extremis virus, seemed to have undergone some kind of mutation. When the police officers fired their pistols at them, they could only produce a small burst of sparks like lava, and then have no effect.

On the contrary, the three robbers, who possessed the power to casually throw out a small car, not only caused a great disturbance on the main road, but also made the police officers behind them unable to raise their heads.

"Are you sure they were just ordinary thugs before?" Tony asked after observing the situation outside for a while.

Possessing "immortality" and immense strength, these abilities surpass even those of the street heroes of Hell's Kitchen.

In fact, they are just as good as the superheroes in the Avengers.

“The three of them should all be members of the local Viper Gang. The tall, skinny one, nicknamed Poison Bug Tang, is a drug addict. I saw him not long ago. I didn’t expect him to be recruited too.” Harry nodded in confirmation.

As an orphan who survived alone, Harry obviously had a wide circle of friends.

“Good.” Tony’s eyes flickered, and he said, “You stay here and protect yourself. I’m going to meet them.”

Even if it has nothing to do with him, Tony wouldn't stand idly by in such a situation.

Moreover, he had a premonition that the robbers outside were related to his attack.

So, as the three robbers arrogantly prepared to leave with a large amount of cash on their backs...

Tony crept over, picked up a small stone, and threw it at the head of the skinny, tall guy who was carrying too much cash.

"Hey, you poisonous bug Tang, come and hit me!"

After making a sarcastic remark, Tony quickly retreated behind the vehicle's cover.

It was incredibly sarcastic.

"Tang, what are you doing? Hurry up and catch up!"

Having caused such a commotion, even if the robbers weren't afraid of small pistols, they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The two robbers ahead, seeing their accomplice lagging behind suddenly lost in thought for some reason, impatiently urged him on.

In this situation, even if Poisonous Insect Tang was unwilling, he had no choice but to carry three large satchels and prepare to follow.

Just then, another pebble flew out and hit the back of the tall, thin man's head.

That annoying voice from before rang out again: "I think you shouldn't be called Poisonous Insect Tang, you should be called Super Big Softie~"

When Tang turned around, he saw Tony with a wicked grin on his face. After mocking him, Tony hid behind the car.

Once, twice...

How could a drug addict, whose mind is not very sharp to begin with, possibly resist?

After dropping his handbag, he smashed the car with both hands, which were blazing with anger.

"Sorry, you shouldn't be called 'Big Softie,' you should be called 'Charizard Dragon'..."

Tony rolled to the back of another car and continued to mock them.

That voice, like a curse, gradually robbed Poison Insect Tang of his wits.

"Tang, don't waste time, come here right now..."

"Forget about that good-for-nothing. We've already got the money, so it's good to leave him to cover our retreat..."

"That's true."

Ahead, the two impatient robbers, after a brief discussion, decided to abandon Tang.

“Your name is Tang, right? You poor thing. Haven’t you noticed that your partners have abandoned you? Now you want to go home and find your mother…” Tony, who had been chased and dodged several times, spoke up at this moment to remind the irritable “fire-breathing dragon” in front of him.

On one hand, there are annoying bugs; on the other hand, messing up the mission will result in punishment from the leader.

At the crucial moment, the addict finally came to his senses.

After glaring hatefully at Tony, the tall, thin man picked up his bag again and prepared to retreat.

"What's wrong, you big wimp? Aren't you going to get revenge? Come on, hit me!"

Seeing that the other party was anxious, Tony ran out from behind the cover and, striking a pose, started provoking him again.

The term "big softie" seems to have a particular effect on drug addicts at the bottom of society.

It seemed that Tony's series of taunts had scrambled Tang's brain, and his expression began to turn ferocious uncontrollably, with a lava-like red light inexplicably emanating from his body.

It seemed like it was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"Oh no!"

Realizing something was wrong, Tony quickly lunged behind the nearest vehicle.

Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion accompanied by a heat wave blew cars off half the street.

Tony was lucky; because he lay low enough, the car in front of him only grazed his head and rolled past.

Even so, Tony's vision went black from the shockwave, and he seemed to have temporarily lost his hearing.

"Mr. Tony... Mr. Tony... Are you alright? Can you hear me?"

It wasn't until he was shaken for a long time that Tony's eyes gradually regained focus.

"I'm fine, how did you get here?" It took Tony a while to realize that the person in front of him was little Harry.

As for the spot where the tall, thin robber had been standing, there was now a large crater.

Soil, gravel, and even bright green banknotes were scattered all over the ground.

Further away, there was a terrified and chaotic crowd.

"I was worried something had happened to you, so I came to check on you..." Finding Tony unharmed, Harry explained as he casually grabbed a banknote that was floating by and stuffed it into his pocket.

It must be said that Harry's professional skills as a "scavenger" are remarkably smooth.

Tony didn't notice Harry's little actions. When he saw police officers approaching from a distance, he quickly said to the little guy, "I think I've got a minor injury. Help me get away."

Having roughly confirmed his suspicions, Tony decided to personally carry out his revenge.

Therefore, I do not want to contact officials for the time being.

More than half an hour later, with Harry's help, Tony returned to the container house.

After a thorough examination, he found that he had mostly abrasions and scratches, and the problem was not serious.

"Terrorists... Extremis virus... I wonder how Pepper is doing..."

With a clue and some time to think, Tony finally remembered that the woman who had visited Marbury's private villa seemed to have mentioned her research—the Extremis virus.

It's probably a drug that could evolve the genes of all humanity, and I hope to get Tony's support.

Tony was only thinking about how to get rid of the troublesome woman in front of him, and didn't listen carefully to what she was saying.

The woman who arrived later, Little Chili, actually had a detailed chat with that woman for a while.

However, after hearing about the effects of the Extremis virus, Little Chili explicitly refused the other party's cooperation, citing the drug's excessive danger.

In other words, the woman named Maya is very likely the mastermind behind all of this. And Chili Pepper, who is currently with her, is also likely in danger.

Should they go back to rescue Pepper, or destroy the terrorist hideout in Tennessee on the spot?

This is a huge problem for Tony right now.

However, recalling the horrific scene on the street and the arrogance of the robbers, Tony preferred to deal with the trouble in Tennessee first, and then immediately go back to meet up with Pepper.

In summary, it's about wanting it all.

Then Tony discovered that after a night and half a day, his Iron Man armor hadn't even reached 30% of its full power.

Wearing a suit of armor with insufficient energy to fight terrorists in Tennessee, the suit's energy might not be enough for him to fly back to Apple City.

In addition, recently, many media outlets and members of the public have been questioning whether Tony became Iron Man because of the armor he wears.

This annoyed Tony, but he also vaguely realized that he had been relying too much on the armor lately.

Therefore, in order to clear his name and to ensure the smooth progress of his future plans.
