Marvel: I'm just the Supreme Master's sidekick.

Chapter 23 The Top Arms Dealer

"Damn it! How many days has it been and it still hasn't been finished?! Tony Stark did all this work in a cave!"

Inside the Ark Laboratory, an angry bald man was venting his frustrations on his subordinates.

"Mr. Stanislav, please understand, we are not geniuses like Tony Stark."

The person in charge of the research answered calmly.

As a core member of the Ark Experiment, he was used to Stanislav's attitude, so he wasn't surprised.

"Hmph, you bunch of good-for-nothings are completely unreliable."

A few days ago, Stanislav heard about the fake Rhodes.

What shocked him most was that the fake Rhodes could autonomously equip and use armor like the "Alloy Might King".

Moreover, he was completely kept in the dark and knew nothing about "Alloy Might King".

"Damn it, a fake is wearing real armor! I've worked diligently here for so many years, and he still won't share his skills with me!"

Back in his office, Stanislav grew angrier the more he thought about it.

For many years, he has controlled Stark Industries' weapons and arms industry and wielded considerable influence on the board of directors.

After Tony successfully escaped, it was he who calmed the media and the board of directors.

However, Tony Stark has never had access to core information about reactor technology.

No matter how many times he tried, the system would reject him.

But that Skrull who impersonated Rhodes was able to get almost identical replicas!

"Mr. Stanislav, will your scheduled meeting still take place tonight?"

The female secretary pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the newspaper scraps scattered all over the floor, she knew that her boss must have just been furious.

"Meeting, meeting! What's the point! Can it get me to build the Iron Man suit?! Get out!"

Stanislaw took the schedule from his secretary, marked it with a few big X's, and sent the secretary out.

Regardless, he was determined to achieve his goal.

"The Stark family must pay the price for their arrogance."

Stanislav gulped down several large mouthfuls of strong liquor; a bold idea had already formed in his mind.

Just then, a series of regular knocks sounded on the door.

Stanis was so startled he almost fell off his chair.

"Why is it you again?" He was a little angry when he saw his female secretary return.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stanislav, but there are some contract documents that require your personal review."

"This is so annoying." Despite his reluctance to spend time on this kind of work, Stanislav had no choice but to go.

Of course, all these so-called contract issues were arranged by Qin Wuying.

He knew in advance that the female secretary had long disliked Stanislavski's personality, but was unable to resist due to work reasons.

Therefore, Qin Wuying pulled his secretary to his side with almost no effort.

Taking advantage of the moment when his target left the office, he used his ability to pass through the wall from the next room and sat down in Stanislavski's boss's chair.

A USB drive with multiple layers of encryption was inserted into Stanis's computer.

"Keyword search in progress..."

The screen displays seven red characters, with a white progress bar below them.

As the progress increased, the blurry video in the center of the field of vision became clearer and clearer.

The background is an orange-red flag with ten interlocking circles printed on it.

Qin Wuying recognized it; it was the symbol of the Ten Commandments Gang.

On the chair in the center, there was a man whose head was covered by a cloth bag.

On both sides stood members of the Ten Commandments gang, armed with rifles and submachine guns.

"Listen, arms dealer Stanislav, look who the hell is this?"

The Ten Commandments member next to the chair yanked the cloth bag off—

Tony Stark appeared on camera, his clothes tattered and his face covered in injuries.

"You didn't tell us he was the one we were going to kill. You have to pay a much higher price."

Good heavens, so it was all Stanislav's doing all along.

In addition to the video, Qin Wuying also discovered a large number of illegal transaction records on the computer.

These included weapons explicitly prohibited by the government, as well as illegal drugs and serums still in the experimental stage.

"Okay, copy with one click."

These things alone are enough to put him in jail for life.

Meanwhile, Stanislav, completely unaware of the situation, is currently troubled by his difficult client.

"I've taken care of things here, you can leave now."

After completing the data copy, Qin Wuying notified his female secretary via the communication terminal.

The negotiations quickly reached a dead end, and the female secretary suggested continuing at a later date before seeing the clients off.

As for the clients who refused to sign the contract no matter what, they were all actors that Qin Wuying had hired at great expense.

The financial support was entirely provided by Lucy Stark.

"If this money doesn't work, you'll be working here illegally for the rest of your life!"

Recalling Lucy's expression, Qin Wuying still felt a little scared.

When the conversation turns to company and work-related topics, the usually friendly young lady becomes particularly strict and domineering.

However, only Qin Wuying had ever seen this kind side of him.

"Here, we've got the evidence."

Qin Wuying proudly tossed the USB drive onto Lucy's desk. "I wasn't lying, was I? It's super fast."

Lucy didn't speak, but instead browsed through the contents on the computer.

"How terrifying, our world's number one arms dealer. Well done, Mr. Qin."

Once everything was confirmed to be in order, Lucy contacted Agent Coulson and devised a plan to capture Stanislav that night.

After Qin Wuying and Nick Fury reached an agreement, S.H.I.E.L.D. resumed its relatively friendly attitude towards Stark Industries.

For the rest of the afternoon, the security department spent working with external agents to set up ambushes and exchange details.

"One group is ready."

"Group Two is ready."

"Operation begins!"

At 18 p.m., the bombs placed outside Stanislav's office and residence detonated simultaneously.

"Charge in! Charge in! Proceed according to plan!"

Two teams rushed into two different locations, one team responsible for capturing the suspect alive, and the other team responsible for collecting more evidence.

"One report stated that no abnormalities were found in the residence."

"The second team reports that no trace of Stanis has been found."

What's going on? The agents sensed something was wrong even through the communication system.

According to the information provided by his secretary, Stanislav should have just finished dinner and returned to his office.

Or did he go somewhere else entirely?

"District 16! He must be in District 16!"

Qin Wuying, who was traveling with Group Two, turned around upon hearing the sound and saw a blonde beauty standing behind them.

"Are you Miss Pepper?"

"You...you know me?"

"That's not important; we have other things to discuss later."

Qin Wuying knew that Pepper was Tony Stark's closest confidante and might know Tony's whereabouts.

"Why? What's in District 16?" Agent Coulson asked hastily, eager to complete the mission.

"I overheard something like Stanislavsky is secretly building some kind of weapon in District 16..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wuying vaguely realized something.

"No, the door is locked."

The group rushed to the entrance of District 16, but were unable to enter immediately.

Seeing this, Coulson pulled out a tiny device and was about to stick it onto the handle—

"No need, I'll do it."

Qin Wuying reached out to stop Coulson.
