Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Continue Your Performance
"Traveling the 15-mile journey to the outskirts of Gulmira can only be described as a descent into hell..."
"The recent acts of violence are attributed to a group of foreign soldiers known by the locals as the 'Ten Rings'."
"They are well-armed and have clear objectives..."
"The refugees can only hope that someone will come to their aid..."
Oaks and Dr. Yinsen watched the news report expressionlessly.
The footage was clear, and Dr. Yinsen's eyes twitched violently as he looked at the familiar faces and weapons.
"Raza Hamidmi, commander of the Ten Rings, seems unwilling to accept his previous defeat."
Dr. Yinsen had thought he had gotten rid of that guy:
"It seems he not only didn't die in the previous explosion but has returned... 'Stark Industries'... haha, it seems Tony is facing a major crisis now."
Although the identifying marks on the weapons used by the Ten Rings were erased for certain reasons, Dr. Yinsen could still recognize them at a glance.
They were manufactured by Stark Industries, the former military-industrial giant that had closed its weapons division months ago. There was no other company in the United States or even the world capable of producing such high-end weapons, including Hammer Industries, which desperately imitated Stark Industries.
"Oaks... Would Tony know about this?"
Dr. Yinsen watched his fellow townspeople being forced to leave their homes, slowly took off his glasses, and pinched his brow.
"I believe in Tony. He's a man of his word. I watched the video of his press conference announcing the closure of the weapons division, but now..."
"Don't worry, that guy will handle it."
A faint smile appeared on Oaks' lips, and suddenly he felt an urge.
"Dr. Yinsen, do you know the exact coordinates of that location?"
"Yes, I do, but..."
"Tell me. I think someone can't hold back anymore... Do you want to see first-hand information?"
Dr. Yinsen stared at Oaks in astonishment. After a while, he smiled.
"Yes, I want to see."
...
In the town of Gulmira, the Ten Rings' new weapons depot was greeted by a vengeful Iron warrior today.
After performing the "real men never look back at explosions" act, Tony used the newly developed hand-mounted repulsor to destroy the entire weapons depot.
However, just as he was about to leave, the radar detected something strange.
"Sir, you're being observed by an interesting creature. It's quite rare."
"Huh... huh?"
Tony stared at a hawk on a rock, tilting its head and looking at him. They locked eyes for ten seconds.
"Listen, I don't know if there should be a bird like you around here, but I absolutely can't stand that you have a camera hanging around your neck."
"That's a hawk, sir, but it's much larger than the usual hawks."
J.A.R.V.I.S. provided the information in a timely manner.
"And although its range of activity includes the Middle East, this one doesn't seem to be a local species."
Tony twitched his eye as he looked at the seemingly oversized hawk, which extended one claw while standing on the other, making a rude gesture.
"What the hell!"
"You're quite fashionable, buddy~ Keep up your performance~"
The hawk grinned, though how a bird could smile was anyone's guess.
"But you just got hit by a missile, right? I captured it on camera~"
"I'm going to roast you!"
"Whoosh!"
A burst of emerald light flashed, and the hawk instantly soared into the sky, about to disappear from sight.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., catch that bastard for me!"
Tony burst into laughter.
"Oaks! You, a chicken who doesn't dare to drive a car, dare to challenge me in flying?!"
Soaring into the sky, he quickly caught up with the hawk surrounded by a thin green light shield.
"So, you've switched to being a reporter? Weren't you a little swallow?"
"Swift, thank you, needle-tailed swift. That was the Velocity Form. Now, I'm in the Aerial Combat Form."
Oaks tilted his head.
"Dr. Yinsen was afraid you would do something foolish, so I came to keep an eye on you. But the rest is up to you—don't forget to come pick up the necklace. See you!"
Tony stared with his mouth wide open as a faint light flashed, and the falcon instantly transformed into the agile needle-tailed swift that he had seen before. With a green flash, a sonic boom resounded, and it disappeared without a trace.
"Shit!"
Tony exclaimed.
"J.A.R.V.I.S.! How can that guy fly so fast?!"
"Yes, sir. Dr. Oaks's speed just now reached Mach 5. With the speed of Mark III, we can't catch up to him."
"What the hell?! Can a damn bird even reach that speed?!"
Tony cursed, but then he realized that even a legitimate cheetah couldn't turn invisible...
"Sir, you have been locked on by two F-22 fighters."
"Oh, shit! I better get off the highway!"
...
Oaks had already returned to the headquarters of the Benevolence Society.
Mach 5? That was only the initial speed.
In the enhanced Swift Form empowered by the Nature Energy, his top speed could currently reach Mach 10, which was ten times the speed of sound!
Tony was still entangled with the F-22s while Oaks returned in less than an hour.
"Truly spectacular."
Dr. Yinsen watched the firsthand footage captured by Oaks and carefully stored the camera as a valuable memento.
"This is a collector's item, highly significant. I never expected him to improve the armor to this extent."
He pinched his chin and pondered his own developed mechanical prosthetics, shrugging helplessly.
"You see, that's the difference between a genius and an ordinary person. But what do we do next? Since Tony has done this and has been discovered by the US military, things won't be easy for him. He's in big trouble."
"It's alright. They have no evidence. The current military radar still can't capture an image as small as him."
Oaks naturally understood how things would unfold, but Tony's exposure was inevitable.
"He probably won't stay put now. Remember, Tony's brain wouldn't fail to consider who's plotting against him. Those Stark Industries weapons undoubtedly came from the board of directors or at least from a powerful director. I'm curious to see how he retaliates. It should be quite interesting."
"Oaks, if Tony is in danger..."
Dr. Yinsen hesitated in his words.
"Don't worry. If he dies, I can't bring him back to life. But as long as there's a breath left, I can still save him."
Oaks thought for a moment and couldn't help but quip.
"Dr. Yinsen, I have to say, after your personal teachings, Tony is becoming more inclined to 'act outside the plan.'"
"Oh? Really?"
Dr. Yinsen scratched his bald head and laughed awkwardly.
"Well, maybe that's a good thing. Science always needs unexpected elements. Haha, hahaha..."
