Chapter 44 Attack Failed
Chapter 44 Attack Failed
"What the hell? Who the hell are you?"
Killian, who was in the middle of a great conversation, was suddenly interrupted and looked very angry.
Moreover, he didn't understand how this stranger knew his name.
"You're one of the founders of AIM Technology, aren't you?"
"So what if I am? You know me?"
Upon hearing the name of his company, Killian's interest was piqued.
He believes that few people know about his research area, and he never leaks it out.
In fact, when Qin Wuying was in Kamar-Taj, King Bait used a secret spell.
Except for the designated person, everyone else will forget Qin Wuying.
This means that the new leader of Stark Industries is currently a very mysterious figure in the public eye.
"You really look like a completely different person."
Qin Wuying sat down opposite him without ceremony and said calmly.
"Mr. Qin, there's nothing between him and me, please don't misunderstand."
"Don't worry, Miss Pepper, go back to Tony, I won't say anything."
It turns out that the person Killian was chatting with was Pepper Potts.
Killian was trying to use this as a breakthrough to persuade Stark Industries to cooperate with him.
However, Qin Wuying ruthlessly thwarted their plan.
"Ah, I see. You've seen me before, haven't you?"
Upon hearing Qin Wuying recount his changes, Killian assumed that the person before him had known him in the past.
"That's right, Mr. Killian, do you remember the Swiss science conference from a few years ago?"
And so, Qin Wuying feigned interest in Killian's project and talked for a long time.
Finally, citing urgent business to attend to, Qin Wuying took his leave first.
As soon as I stepped out of the coffee shop, another explosive news message popped up on my phone.
It turns out that Tony Stark was surrounded by the media for an interview, who wanted to know his opinion on Mandolin.
"Mandolin, I'm not afraid of you. If you want to come, then come. My address is *****, and I will kill you with my own hands."
These are Tony's exact words in front of the camera.
Qin Wuying slapped his forehead, feeling both annoyed and amused.
Tony, what kind of idiot are you? Who would proactively report their own base location to the enemy?
Moreover, such open provocation will inevitably elicit a response from the other party.
Then everyone in Tony's family will be in danger.
Upon realizing this, Qin Wuying immediately opened a portal and jumped to the entrance of the seaside mansion.
"Identity verification in progress... Authentication successful."
After using his face to open the door, Qin Wuying immediately ran to Tony's studio.
"Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous this is?"
"It's okay, they can't directly invade our homeland."
Tony shrugged, unimpressed.
Tony felt that small-scale attacks posed no threat to him, while a large-scale attack was out of the question.
Just as Qin Wuying was about to say something, the doorbell rang again.
A beautiful woman with long, dark brown hair burst through the door, looking anxious.
"Dr. Maya? What brings you here?"
Tony was quite surprised to see the other person. After all, aside from a one-night stand, the two had almost no interaction.
"Uh, never mind what she's here for now, look here."
Several helicopters can be seen circling above Tony's mansion through outdoor cameras.
That plane clearly didn't belong to the military, nor was it a S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft.
"So, whose is this...?"
Tony was a beat slow to react before he finally asked the crucial question.
...!
"Crack! Boom—!"
First came the sound of glass shattering from a high-speed impact, followed by a massive explosion.
Helicopters launched a bombing raid on Stark's mansion.
"What happened?" Pepper heard the noise and ran downstairs.
At that moment, another missile struck with lightning speed and exploded instantly in the hall.
The immense power and the resulting shockwave instantly destroyed everything.
Tony, Pepper, and Maya were all blasted backward—
At the critical moment, Tony quickly summoned his newly developed armor.
Various parts of the armor flew out of the workshop and enveloped Miss Pepper at top speed.
As for Qin Wuying, he raised a magical shield to protect himself.
"Take Maya and get out of here! I'll figure out the rest myself!"
Tony yelled at Pepper; all he could do now was keep her out of danger.
After saying that, he glanced at Qin Wuying again.
How come you're completely unharmed? Why didn't you help earlier!
However, Qin Wuying's mysterious smile left him speechless.
This wasn't the first time he'd thought Qin Wuying was an incomprehensible oddball.
Despite possessing immense magical power, he never seems to be using it at his full potential.
After hiding behind the bunker for a while, Tony finally saw Pepper and Maya reach a safe distance.
Tony then clasped his hands together and summoned the armor back onto himself.
"Come on, have a taste of this!"
Iron Man raised a hand and aimed it at the helicopter closest to them.
Three seconds passed, and nothing happened.
"Sir, the suit is still in the testing phase, and the weapon system has not yet been activated."
"The restrictions are lifted now, hurry up!"
Jarvis's reminder exacerbated Tony's unease.
Although lasers cannot be launched yet, missiles can.
Six miniature missiles flew out from beneath Tony's arm, heading straight for the enemy.
"Tap tap tap tap tap!"
The helicopter strafed wildly, bullets colliding with missiles and exploding into bursts of sparks in the air.
"Damn it! Why isn't the laser treatment working?!"
Just as Tony was frantically adjusting the system, another missile landed at his feet—
"Buzzing..."
This caused Tony to experience unbearable tinnitus.
The heavily damaged armor could no longer support itself and slowly tilted forward, falling into the sea.
"No! Tony—!"
Behind Qin Wuying came Pepper's heart-wrenching screams.
"Run! Run now! Hide!"
Looking back, Qin Wuying quickly told Pepper and Maya to find a safe place.
Upon seeing Iron Man fall into the water, the enemy's objective was achieved, and their helicopters turned around to prepare for their return flight.
"Tsk, you think you can just leave already?"
Qin Wuying spread his arms wide. "Come and see the prison prepared for you!"
Six bright blue energy walls appeared from above, below, left, right, front, and back—
Within seconds, the energy wall formed a perfect cube.
The helicopters were all trapped in the magical barrier and could not escape.
A faint glow appeared on the surface of the water below.
Tony was pinned down by the heavy object and unable to get up, so Jarvis used his hand armor to pull Tony up.
Following procedure, Jarvis piloted the armor, carrying the unconscious Tony, and flew away.
After ensuring Tony Stark was away from the battlefield, Qin Wuying smiled.
Now we can get started.
