Slime rolled his eyes. You pig, you are too tired to complain. "You will regret it."
Now Ivan Vanko has lost his ability to attack, and in public, no one can move him at all.
Or, find an opportunity to assassinate him later...
Another idea suddenly came to Lai Mu's mind.
It would be better to let Hammer kidnap Ivan Vanko and let them form the Iron Armored Army as originally planned.
Then...what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
By the way, bring down Hammer, short their stocks, and take away the factory.
...When you think about it this way, it’s not a loss.
After making the decision, Lai Mu looked at the countless people watching, flew up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Stark took a few steps forward and looked at the destroyed reactor on the other's chest. He remembered the blueprint he saw in Howard's belongings and had some guesses in his mind.
"What is your relationship with Anthony Vanco?"
Ivan Vanko wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spat blood foam at Stark viciously, "Bah! Thief! Butcher!"
His eyes were full of hatred for Stark. The thief accused Stark's father of stealing his father's research results, and the butcher pointed out that Stark started his business in the arms business.
Stark rolled his eyes speechlessly. He was sure this was the first time the two had met.
And, “I saved your life.”
The police finally arrived. They grabbed Ivan Vanko's hands from behind and dragged him away.
Ivan Vanko, who was being dragged, laughed and roared wildly, and his voice gradually faded away.
"You'll regret this! Ha - ha ha ha ha - you'll regret this..."
Mark III, who was standing in place, raised his iron hand and slapped his head... What the hell was going on!

"...Sky Knight, a mysterious superhero, saved the lives of Iron Man and many innocent viewers. Let us express our warmest gratitude to him!"
Luxurious seafront villa.
Lai Mu sat on the sofa and yawned. The sound coming from the TV had some kind of hypnotic power, making him drowsy.
Superhero? Whoever wants to be one can be one, but someone won’t do it.
It has been several days since I returned from Morocco, and what happened then has gradually begun to ferment.
First of all, the Ghost Armor appeared in front of the public for the first time. Because of the color and weapon issues, it was called Sky Knight by the gossipers. Everyone thought he was a new superhero, a teammate and partner of Iron Man... His popularity is now second only to Iron Man, and he has been widely sought after and praised.
Then, because Lai Mu had never disclosed his identity, more and more people began to speculate about his identity with dark intentions.
To this end, the Great Sage has hacked into many people's hosts and computers... She did it secretly, and Lai Mu didn't even know about it.
As for Ivan Vanko, just as Lei Mu expected, he died in prison due to a fire on the second day of his imprisonment. Then the Great Sage found a man who looked exactly like Ivan Vanko in a factory in New York, USA.
Come on, Hammer and Vanke! Fight hard for my Iron Legion!
Chapter 70. Sky What? What Knight?
In a military base under martial law, there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.
Soldiers armed with live ammunition marched back and forth in rows.
Many senior military officers were holding a meeting in the room inside, discussing some rather glorious things.
"…Technology is American technology! Interests are American interests! Stark must hand over his armor. It is obvious that as an American citizen, he does not wholeheartedly consider the interests of his motherland."
A tall lieutenant general stood in the main seat, tapping the table with his hands, looking at all the people present at the meeting, speaking with righteousness and passion.
"Tony Stark is selfish! But we must help him develop this technology that benefits the nation...even if we have to use force!"
Colonel Rody glanced at the lieutenant general awkwardly, then shook his head with the corner of his mouth pulled.
It was very well said and brilliantly said, there is absolutely no fault to be found in it.
He lowered his head to look at the table, then suddenly sighed and raised his hand, "Sir, let me persuade him again... Maybe I can convince Stark."
The lieutenant general pointed at Rody from a distance and stared at him with a warning, "I know you have a close personal relationship with Stark, but if you want to fool me in this way..."
The black colonel looked back with a dark face and expressionless expression, "Please let me try! If there is no result within a month, I will hand in my resignation."
The American military is as free as the American people, and officers can voluntarily retire.

A factory in Queens, New York.
Ivan Vanko was directing several big men to busy themselves with installing reactors and remote control devices on the Hammer brand robots.
He sat on the sofa and leisurely played with a parrot. On the table in front of him was a computer with a self-made AI control program running on the screen.
There are 32 controllable units displayed on the screen, including four groups of robots: Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, with eight robots in each group.
The modification of these things took less than ten days. Hammer himself had a certain amount of Iron Man suit technology accumulation, but his main weakness was the program.
Ivan Vanko happens to be strong in both aspects.
Hammer stood behind Ivan Vanko and lit himself a ladies' cigarette with his white-gloved hand.
He looked at the steel and exhaled a puff of smoke with satisfaction. "As long as I succeed in taking that position in Congress, I will not treat you unfairly, Ivan."
"I've always been nice to you...I even brought you your bird."
Hammer walked up to Ivan with a flattering smile.
Ivan smiled and said something in Russian.
"дурак (idiot)."
At the same time, he reached out and pulled the parrot's wings, causing the parrot to curse loudly "idiot".
Hammer was stunned. "What did you say? You know I don't understand Russian. You can speak English."
"I said, you will get what you want."
Ivan's bird only speaks Russian, so this is only a native American bird.
And who cares about the future? Some people don’t care about the future.
Ivan just wanted revenge, and revenge was enough.

"May I ask why Sky Knight does not reveal his identity? Does this mean that he has something that he cannot show to the public? Will he do something that harms society and the public? Is this a drama you staged to attract attention?"
In front of the camera, Stark, who was caught by reporters, waved and greeted the audience with a smile, and faced the sharp questions calmly.
"We will not disclose the identity of the so-called Sky Knight, because everyone has the right to protect their privacy and live the life they want."
He raised a finger to reinforce his words.
"I can vouch for him in the name of Iron Man. He will never do anything that endangers public safety...Everyone saw that he protected me and all the spectators in Morocco."
"Also, if anyone wants to gain traffic and attention by being unconventional and attacking that guy called... Sky Knight, you can refer to the fate of this reporter next to me."
He raised his hand and patted the reporter on the shoulder in a friendly manner, "You are fired. I will acquire your company in ten minutes."
"The one who was carrying the camera, yes, that's you. Release this video in its entirety, and not only will you not be fired, you'll get a promotion and a raise. Do a good job!"
Most of the current public opinion is praising and admiring the Sky Knight, but there is always a small group that goes against the majority for various reasons. But this is the first one who is so tough and dares to ask Stark directly.

"My friend is pretty good, isn't he?"
In the living room of a luxurious seaside villa.
While watching the interview with Stark on TV, Lai Mu teased Xiao Pangda, snatching its bottle and returning it, talking to it in a nagging manner.
Alice went to school...it was so boring to be alone.
Otherwise, let's take a look at how the production of his own iron armor troops is going.
As soon as he thought about it, the big screen in front of him switched instantly under the control of the Great Sage and jumped to a surveillance screen.
The people in the surveillance video were Ivan Vanko and Justin Hammer.
Vanke was busy with something on the computer console, his fingers clacking on the keyboard. Half of the computer screen showed 32 controllable units and one uncontrollable unit.
There are 32 robots and an armored vehicle that Vanke built for himself.
Now that they are almost done, it's time to close the net.
He copied the data onto a USB drive, put it in his pocket and went to Stark's villa.
Stark already has a visitor here.
The black colonel Roddy seemed to be arguing with Stark about something. He pointed his finger while talking and looked very excited.
"...I tried my best to persuade those guys not to drive the tanks to your doorstep, but they have lost their patience! They are ready to take your things by force! Do you think you can fight them? Can't you just give them a defective product to study?"
"Is it hard? Is it hard?"
Colonel Rody was wearing a formal military uniform, and it was obvious that he came here to persuade on behalf of the military, but his words were clearly from the perspective of a friend.
Stark leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, stared at the wine glass swaying in his hand, and looked calm and composed.
"Let them come. I, Stark, am not afraid of anyone. Let me see whether their tanks are thicker or I have more missiles... No one can take my things away!"
He downed the draft beer in his glass in one gulp and looked at the other person without any intention. He understood the military's style, but he didn't want to compromise at all.
"My lawyer is not a vegetarian!"
"what happened?"
Lai Mu knocked on the door and walked over. "Long time no see, Colonel Rody, are you guys arguing?"
Rody sighed, shook his head, and nodded to Lai Mu, "Long time no see..."
