American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

It turned out that, without anyone noticing, Colonel Rhodes's hand, which had been behind his back, had been placed on Tony's hand.

Tony, who has a clear case of mysophobia, makes sure everything he connects has been handled by Pepper Potts' hands, especially when it comes to men.

Moreover, having just started making progress in his relationship with Chili Pepper, he had no intention of getting involved in a gay relationship.

Even if the third party is Colonel Rhodes, it won't work.

"I don't like men either..." Colonel Rhodes' face also showed a look of disgust.

Tony later realized that he had misunderstood his friend.

The two were strapped to the frame back to back, with their hands close together behind their backs, allowing for a lot of room to maneuver.

Therefore, Colonel Rhodes is trying to free Tony's hands from their restraints.

Because they couldn't see what was behind them, they inevitably had to test the waters a few more times, which led to Tony's misunderstanding.

After Tony understood Colonel Rhodes's intention, he didn't say anything more, but his expression remained resistant.

Fortunately, after fulfilling Killian's instructions before leaving, the thugs in the room went off in twos and threes to chat and joke around.

They didn't even notice Tony and Rod's subtle actions.

It's safe to say they're just petty thugs; even with someone leading them, they're still not respectable.

In the villa on the other side, Mike had already finished his dessert.

The taste is unexpectedly good.

"Alright, Tony's probably getting impatient, it's time for me to get moving." Mike put down his napkin and prepared to head to Tennessee.

He hadn't forgotten that he still had a mission to complete.

"You just got back, where are you going again? No, you have to take me with you this time." The little girl, around ten years old, is at the age where she's very clingy.

Seeing Mike create the portal, Hit-Girl immediately swarmed over.

"Stop messing around, I have important business to attend to." Mike pushed away Hit-Girl who was clinging to his leg.

It just doesn't work very well.

Hit-Girl clung tightly to Mike, blinking her big eyes and saying cutely, "You said the same thing last time, and then you left for more than two months. Anyway, this time, you can't fool me again."

Despite his strength, Mike still didn't have a good solution for the little girl's tantrums.

"Moritz~"

Just then, Scarlet Witch, who was clearing away the dishes, suddenly looked up and stared at Hit-Girl.

A flash of red light passed through his eyes.

"Okay, okay. I got it~" Hitgirl, after being warned, chuckled and let go of his hand.

Immediately, an innocent and adorable expression appeared on her little face.

Of course, this wasn't meant for Mike to see, but rather to deceive the Scarlet Witch behind him.

HitGirl had long noticed that as the power of chaos within her grew stronger, Scarlet Witch's emotions gradually became "unpredictable."

Sometimes it can be quite scary.

On the contrary, Scarlet Witch's emotions would inexplicably stabilize when she was facing Mike.

The precocious Hit-Girl has decided to find a time when the witch isn't around and give Mike a good rant about her.

"Don't worry, if things go well, I should be back tonight, and maybe I can even have dinner with you guys." Mike, who doesn't use his [mind-reading] ability to probe the thoughts of those around him, has no idea what Hit-Girl is planning.

After offering a word of comfort, he stepped into the portal.

"What the hell, acting like nobody cares..." After Mike disappeared, HitGirl muttered arrogantly.

They expressed their dissatisfaction.

"Moritz, given your previous performance, you can play for an extra hour today." Over there, Scarlet Witch, dressed casually at home, was helping Mike finish up.

"Really? I knew you were the best~" HitGirl, having received permission, happily rushed to the sofa.

There was a handheld game console there.

HitGirl, now engrossed in the game, decided to postpone her complaint for a while.

In short, it's not a big problem.

"Stop, Rhodes. Our savior has arrived!"

Inside the Tennessee terrorist stronghold, Tony looked at the unique, pure white portal that appeared before him, a relieved smile spreading across his face.

Finally, I no longer have to endure men touching me.

this point is very important.

"Just bear with it a little longer, I'll be done in a minute." Colonel Rhodes, whose mind was focused on untying Tony, didn't notice the portal not far away.

They just thought Tony was being dramatic.

"Listen to me, stop wasting your time. Mike's here to save us..."

"You mean the Guardians?"

"..."

After being reminded, when Colonel Rhodes looked up, he saw Mike, who was radiating a soft white light, walking out of the portal.

A barrage of magical whips swept out, instantly imprisoning all the terrorists in the room.

As the magic whip slowly retracted, the terrorists fell one after another.

"Cool~"

Colonel Rhodes was stunned when he witnessed the power of magic for the first time. This mysterious power was not only highly efficient, but also very elegant to use.

Compared to that, the right to use the [Killing Machine] doesn't seem so appealing anymore.

Chapter 682 Support (Continued)

“Be careful, Mike. Those people have been injected with the Extremis virus…”

Seeing Mike swaggering over like Colonel Rhodes had done before, Tony quickly spoke up to warn him.

They feared that the other party would suffer the same fate as Colonel Rhodes.

After all, the Extremis virus is indeed very effective at saving lives.

"Be careful of what?" Mike asked.

At the same time, he used his magic to make the ropes binding Tony and Colonel Rhodes loosen automatically, like snakes.

Tony, now free, also saw the thugs lying dead behind Mike.

Its face was contorted and blood was flowing from its seven orifices. Its body was also contorted, and it showed no signs of life.

Clearly, the Extremis virus is powerful, but its strength depends on what it's compared to.

The damage Mike casually inflicted undoubtedly exceeded the limits that the Extremis virus could withstand.

“Uh, it’s nothing. I mean, you came just in time. I owe you a favor this time…” Tony’s face showed a fleeting embarrassment as he continued, “Of course, even if you hadn’t come, I would have had ways of dealing with these thugs.”

Nearby, Colonel Rhodes, who had also been rescued, was quite annoyed by Tony's usual arrogant demeanor and couldn't help but want to complain again.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from outside the window.

The armor Tony left at Harry's house is flying towards us at supersonic speed from afar.

"You really did have a backup plan, why didn't you say so sooner?" Colonel Rhodes, who had been living in fear for so long, once again complained forcefully.

However, Tony couldn't care less about his friend's complaints now. He went to the window, opened his arms, and greeted the arrival of the armor with a cheer.

Having been ambushed multiple times, he had already discovered the armor's weaknesses.

That is, whenever he encounters an emergency, he will be at a great disadvantage if his armor is not with him.

Therefore, when developing the new armor, Tony addressed this shortcoming by designing a bracelet specifically for himself.

When necessary, you can summon distant armor via the bracelet.

As a backup plan, Tony had already secretly used the bracelet to summon the new generation of Mark series armor when Colonel Rhodes "touched" his hand.

In terms of effectiveness, although it was a little late, it was still timely.

As the new armor was gradually assembled onto his body, Tony once again felt a strong sense of security.

This sense of security comes from one's own hard work and sweat, as well as a clever mind.

Therefore, it appears exceptionally special.

"Fifty percent of the energy is barely enough." After assessing the armor's condition, Tony exuded confidence.

"Look what I found! A little mouse trying to escape..."

Tony activated his armor and flew into the sky, when he unexpectedly saw Mandarin escaping down the stairs from a window downstairs.

As the saying goes: When you're sleepy, there's always a pillow.

Already harboring a nameless rage, he fired a palm laser cannon without saying a word, blasting Mandarin off the stairs.

Then he swooped down and went to the other person through the window downstairs.

"Don't you love playing the terrorist? Give me another one..." Tony, who had been humiliated by Mandarin before, went to the other party's side and clenched his steel fist, giving the other party's face two hard punches.

Then they discovered that when the fist, as big as a sandbag, came down, the other person didn't utter a sound.

There was a large pool of blood on the ground.

It turned out that when Mandarin rolled down the stairs, the back of his head hit a protruding part of the stairs, and he was already dead.

"Consider yourself lucky, you got off easy this time!"

Tony, who had also noticed this, stood up listlessly, seemingly having no intention of further desecrating the corpse.

But the more he thought about leaving, the more unhappy he became.

Finally, he fired another hand cannon shot, blasting Mandarin into a pile of minced meat.

Only then did he feel relieved enough to take off and meet up with Mike upstairs.

"Oh right, I forgot to ask. Weren't you in Asgard? How did you end up here?" With one troublesome matter resolved, Tony's mind started working again.

"It's a long story, so I won't go into details," Mike said with a grin. "All you need to know is that when I got back to the villa, I ran into Daredevil and his crew heading to rescue Pepper. Then, they asked me to come here and rescue you."

All I can say is that the Street Heroes Mutual Aid Association is truly committed to helping others.

Tony's money was well spent.

"Damn it, Pepper Potts is waiting for me to rescue her, and now it seems we'll need another president..." Tony's expression turned serious.

Just then, the phone in the room rang again.

After the call connected, Killian's annoying face appeared on the screen.

And behind him, the president, suspended from the Statue of Liberty.

"Jarvis, connect the video feed to the armor," Tony instructed.

The signal is then loaded onto the armor, which then projects a three-dimensional image.

This also made the situation on Killian's side clearer.

Even Little Chili, who was tied up in the corner, and Maya, who was standing to the side, were shown.

"Where are Thomson and the others?" Killian, who had obviously also seen Tony escaped in his armor via video, was surprised for a moment before continuing, "Never mind, none of that matters. I have two hostages now. What do you think?"

Multiple hostages, multiple options.

With his overwhelming advantage, Killian wasn't afraid that Tony wouldn't comply.

"Don't rush me, I'll discuss the collaboration with you in person. You just need to wash your neck and wait for me," Tony said, suppressing his anger.

“Really? Are you threatening me? I’m so scared…” Killian shrugged, then laughed and said, “Remember, you only have half an hour. Don’t keep me waiting too long.”

A crackling sound of electricity flashed by, and the video call ended abruptly.

"Mike, I need your help with something." Tony's expression turned extremely serious as he hung up the video call.

"You said~"

"I want to handle Killian's matter myself, so please don't make a move yet."
