Tesseract Isotope

Hurrying back to the Darkhold Laboratory, Old Wang spotted Coulson at first glance and froze.

Could the "Marvel Novice Village Chief" have some hidden trait, like "passively attracting transmigrators"?

Otherwise, with such a huge laboratory, how had he happened to teleport right in front of him?

Coulson was even more stunned.

He had been on the phone with the Director, and before he could even finish speaking, the vanished Master Wang had suddenly reappeared—right in front of him. Their faces were less than ten centimeters apart. He could feel his warm breath and hear his own heart pounding.

Wasn’t staring at such a huge panda face a little too horrifying?

The next second, Coulson felt dazed.

For some reason, observing that face up close reminded him of Carol Danvers, that extraordinary woman.

Why were cat meows so often heard in the Director’s office? Why did Egghead occasionally fall silent? Why was an old man still unmarried at his age?

Though he never said it, we all knew…

"Coulson? Coulson?"

Egghead’s voice came through the phone. Coulson jolted and hurriedly replied, "Sir, Master Wang is here."

Fury could not help snorting. "Put him on the phone!"

"Yes." Coulson quickly handed the phone to Old Wang.

Old Wang shrugged and took the call, only to hear Egghead’s voice carrying thirty percent resentment and seventy percent irritation. "Master Wang, did you send that missile to San Juan? You nearly destroyed an entire city!"

"That missile wasn’t that powerful. Besides, I picked the location carefully. I did you a huge favor. After this, the person who ordered the missile launch definitely won’t have an easy time. You can take the opportunity to move against him."

Old Wang was very polite. "No need to thank me."

Egghead: "…"

Thank you, my ass, Master Wang!

General Anton had ordered the missile launch. Of course I knew he was Hydra.

Although his status was not low, was it really hard to kill him? A few agents could have taken care of him silently. Did there have to be such a huge commotion?

They could have quietly brought him to a secret base, tortured him for information, found out who had given him orders and who his superiors were. They might even have been able to turn him.

But after what you did, the government and military’s entire upper echelon were watching Anton. It had become harder to make a move.

Master Wang, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?

Old Wang smiled without answering. Of course I did it on purpose.

Although the situation had been urgent and there had been no time to think too much, he had still chosen the more suitable approach.

If that missile had not exploded near San Juan, there probably would have been more than one missile flying their way. He could handle them, but it would cost a lot of money. Was Egghead going to pay?

And what if he slipped up? People would die!

"Let’s not talk about that."

Old Wang knew Egghead had enough influence to settle the matter, so he glossed over it and changed the subject. "I just made a trip to Stark Industries headquarters."

"What did you go there for?" Egghead frowned and picked up his cup.

The last time Old Wang had gone to treat Tony, he had known nothing about it.

As far as he knew, apart from buying high-tech equipment and materials from Stark Industries through S.H.I.E.L.D., Master Wang only had those stocks worth over a billion tied to Stark Industries.

Could it be that Master Wang and that playboy had a more intimate relationship beyond filthy money dealings?

"Nothing much."

Old Wang said casually, "I saved Tony’s life."

"Pfft!"

Egghead sprayed out a mouthful of coffee.

And that was supposed to be nothing?

Wait…

Hadn’t that playboy just been kidnapped recently? How had he gotten into trouble again?

"Send someone to ask about the details yourself. No need to waste phone charges. Oh, and I’ve been a little strapped for cash lately, so transfer the money to me as soon as possible."

Old Wang stuffed the phone into Coulson’s hand and turned to leave.

A Monk moved like the wind and never dawdled.

Listening to Egghead’s roar over the phone, Coulson could only smile bitterly.

Even the Minister of Defense would not dare treat the Director like that. Across the entire United States, government officials, generals, and wealthy tycoons all both hated and feared that "King of Agents." He held evidence of countless people’s crimes in his hands. Anyone who provoked him was courting death.

Master Wang, I admire you!

Although the battle in San Juan involved several hundred people, massive quantities of weapons, and even a missile explosion, it had not caused any innocent casualties.

Egghead personally stepped in, and the entire affair became a military operation against a terrorist organization.

Thanks to the efforts of Puerto Rico’s military, the terrorist organization was completely wiped out. The only missile launched was intercepted and exploded outside San Juan, saving hundreds of thousands of free citizens. A certain terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the incident.

General Anton resigned to take responsibility, while another general was airlifted in to replace him. Air Force Brigadier General Glenn Talbot was dispatched to establish a military base and assist in protecting Puerto Rico’s territory and the safety of its people.

On the surface, all was calm. Beneath it, turbulent currents surged.

Both Egghead and Pierce sensed that a storm was coming, perhaps even a devastating one.

At that moment, another piece of news caused quite a stir.

Several terrorists had infiltrated Stark Industries headquarters, intending to steal classified information and kidnap Chairman Tony Stark and CEO Obadiah Stane.

Mr. Obadiah suffered a heart attack and died on the spot. With the help of several security guards, Stark successfully eliminated the terrorists.

Tony Stark attended a press conference looking rosy-cheeked, his health reassuring everyone.

Although Stark Industries had shut down its weapons division, he promised that within three months, he would develop new pillar industries for Stark Industries, including but not limited to clean energy, electronic information, artificial intelligence, life sciences, advanced materials, and frontier science.

Although Mr. Stark was brimming with confidence, the mainstream media expressed doubts.

Capital fled in droves, and the stock price continued to fall, reaching a total decline of 62.7 percent.

Old Wang bought in while he could, pouring all the money Egghead had transferred into it.

Late at night three days later, after casually wiping out another terrorist base, Tony arrived in San Juan, 5,600 kilometers away, wearing his flashy gold-and-red Mark 3.

Darkhold Laboratory.

Mark 3 landed steadily, immediately drawing a large crowd of onlookers.

"Is that… an exoskeleton suit? It’s insanely cool!"

"It would be pretty good for disabled people. Stark Industries really does have a pillar industry now."

"It really flew all the way here from Los Angeles? What energy source does it use? How could it last that long?"

"I want one! I want one too!"

"Mr. Stark is too fat. His suit definitely wouldn’t fit me. I wonder whether Mr. Stark accepts custom orders…"

"Hmm, its mobility isn’t good enough. The Gold-Titanium Alloy armor is highly durable, but the joints are weak points. If I caught him off guard, I could dismantle it in one minute. If he has the guts, he shouldn’t fly…"

Old Wang’s focus was different from everyone else’s.

Looking at the two inverted triangles on Tony’s chest emitting white light, a faint smile finally appeared on his lips. "You made the new element?"

"I have you to thank for that, Master Wang!"

At the mention of it, Tony could not stop beaming. "It took me a full two hours to crack the model my father left behind and find the element model hidden inside. Then I spent another three hours calculating, and finally four hours assembling the equipment before creating a new element out of thin air!"

At that point, he could not help sighing.

"My father was incredible. He actually discovered such a safe, reliable, pollution-free new element!"

Thanks to "Book Friend 20190101141049506" for the 100 reward.
