Chapter 47 The Sky Heist
Chapter 47 The Sky Heist
The man who was speaking had permed blond hair and was dressed in fashionable clothes.
To be honest, Tony had no recollection of when he had ever met the other person.
As for the other person's name, there was absolutely no information about it.
He would never have thought of this if he hadn't done any prior research.
The man before her was none other than Killian, whom she had stood up years ago.
"Oh, I'm not happy to see you."
Tony pursed his lips, secretly regretting his youthful arrogance.
This inexplicably gave him an extra enemy.
"Let him go, Killian, or I'll overdose on myself."
Just as the man was admiring Tony's bound appearance, Maya took out a syringe and pointed it at her own neck.
Perhaps she remembered her original intention and decided to help Tony.
However, Killian's expression remained unmoved when he saw this.
He is willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.
Moreover, he had already surpassed the core technology of the Maya.
So now, Killian raised his pistol and aimed it at the scientist Maya's forehead.
"Bang! Bang bang bang bang!"
Killian fired five shots without hesitation, each aimed at a different part of the body.
It's as if they have a grudge against each other.
Tony closed his eyes tightly, unable to bear watching this heart-wrenching scene.
But a few seconds later, Maya's tense breathing could still be heard.
And you can see Killian's completely bewildered expression.
He even looked down to check his magazine and trigger.
No problem?
"Oh dear, that guy's here."
Having discovered the problem, Tony relaxed and let out a soft hum.
"Who? Which guy?"
Killian felt that Tony was just being deliberately mysterious, but the bullet malfunction earlier was undeniable.
Immediately afterwards—
A handsome man in a beige casual suit appeared out of nowhere.
He seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
It was as if there were gaps between the air, allowing him to move freely in and out.
"Phew~ You're way too late!"
Tony breathed a sigh of relief, unable to resist complaining that Qin Wuying's rescue was late.
If it had been a few minutes later, Maya's body would be lying there.
"I need to find a chance to catch this guy in the act."
Qin Wuying shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
Actually, he had been hanging there for a long time, but no one noticed.
He waited until Killian fired before using a magical shield to block the bullet and then appeared.
If you're wondering why he only appeared at this point, it's because his rescue was incredibly cool.
Killian wasn't stupid either; he immediately emptied the magazine while Qin Wuying was speaking.
"Here you go."
Qin Wuying untied Tony Stark without turning his head.
Several small portals opened around Killian, from which bullets flew out.
The walls behind Killian were immediately riddled with bullet holes, outlining his silhouette.
"I never knew you were a master of human figure drawing."
Tony brushed the dust off his clothes and joked with Qin Wuying.
He didn't intend to ask Qin Wuying why it would have been better to just kill Killian here.
He didn't understand Qin Wuying's thoughts, but he believed them.
Seeing that things were not going well, Killian threw down the useless pistol and ran away.
"Alright, that's it. Let's leave him for now, otherwise the plot won't be able to develop."
Qin Wuying reached out and stopped Tony, who was trying to give chase.
"Plot? What plot?"
"Uh, I mean my plan, I call it the plot."
"Qin, your statement is very strange."
"You know, I've always dreamed of becoming a director."
Tony, still somewhat skeptical, helped Maya up from the ground and gently patted her back to comfort her.
Qin Wuying breathed a sigh of relief; she had almost been suspected.
On the other side, Rhodes, who had been exposed too early, was trapped inside the armor of the Steel Patriot.
Rhodes was very puzzled. Why did that group of people choose AIM Technologies to upgrade their armor?
So it turns out it's a tech company run by the enemy.
Fortunately, the armor was sturdy enough that even after several infected took turns trying to remove it, they were still unable to take it off.
"Get out of the way, let me do it!"
Killian rushed in through the side door, awkwardly pushing aside the infected person blocking his way.
"Save your energy. Its insulation effect is beyond your imagination."
Rhodes remained remarkably calm in the face of Killian.
Having witnessed the warming effects of the Extremis virus, he was convinced that the Steel Patriots could hold out.
Then--
Killian, facing the armor, took a few steps back.
Immediately afterwards, orange-red heat surged up from his abdomen and arms.
It surged up to my chest and mouth.
"Damn! This guy can breathe fire!"
A burst of scorching flame emerged from Killian's mouth.
The Iron Patriot could block ordinary flames, but the Extremis virus also has the ability to detonate.
Fortunately, the armor's system analyzed the situation in time.
Rhodes completed his cast off the instant the opponent breathed fire.
Having a military background, he quickly took down several infected individuals after emerging from his armor.
Then they quickly escaped through the side door.
Killian didn't chase after him at all; he had a more important goal.
Rhodes ran from indoors to the garden, where he encountered Qin Wuying, Tony, and Maya.
"My armor has been locked up; we have to get it back."
Upon seeing the reinforcements, Rhodes' confidence soared.
"Locked up? Then what's this?"
Maya pointed to the sky, and everyone's eyes followed her finger upwards.
The Steel Patriot, with all its might, soared into the sky.
"Uh, that's not you, right?"
Tony looked at the armor in the sky, then turned back to look at Rhodey.
What do you think?
Rhodes responded with a complex look in his eyes.
"Jarvis, quickly track their movements."
"No need, I know where he went."
Qin Wuying patted Tony on the shoulder—
The president's private jet.
Killian's ambitions extend far beyond simply expanding his AIM technology company.
He also wants to step into the political arena and dominate the region or even the country.
"Sir, an approaching object has been detected; it's Colonel Rhodes!"
A soldier on the plane spotted the Steel Patriot on radar and excitedly reported it to the general.
"They must have completed their investigation of the Ten Commandments gang and sent him to provide protection."
Bypassing the general, the president issued the order directly.
"Yes, sir. Colonel Rhodes, please escort me. Colonel Rhodes?!"
Instead of responding, the Steel Patriot rapidly approached the aircraft, crossing the safe distance.
"Bang—!"
The aircraft door was forcibly pulled open, causing an immediate imbalance in air pressure inside the cabin.
Several aircrew members were immediately blown away.
The Steel Patriot headed straight for the cabin where the president was and violently smashed the door lock with a laser.
"Rhodes, what do you want to do!"
The general stood in front of the president, pointing his gun at the Steel Patriot.
"Don't get in my way!"
The Steel Patriot raised his mask, revealing Killian's face.
He used the weapon in his arm to shoot the general dead—
He then grabbed the president by the collar and flew out.
