A Promise to Fight Again

"How could that be? Give me time, and I'm sure I can develop an even stronger suit of armor. Then we'll have a competition."

Tony, however, was not about to admit defeat. Clearly, this contest had given him many new ideas about his armor, and he believed that given time, he would be able to develop even more powerful armor.

He couldn't hit Charlotte this time, but he didn't believe he wouldn't be able to next time.

"OK, let's have another match when you have your new armor."

Tony can upgrade his armor, and Charlotte can also enhance her strength. Moreover, he believes that his own strength will improve much faster than Tony's armor upgrade speed.

Tony tried to get up, but found that the few pieces of armor he had left were pinning him down, preventing him from moving.

"Hey buddy, give me a hand and help me take apart the rest of the parts too."

Upon hearing Tony's request, Charlotte did not refuse. She quickly stripped off all the remaining parts of Tony's armor and stored them in her Storage Space.

The two then returned to the Villa. Tony went upstairs to change his clothes, while Charlotte took out the Mark II from her Storage Space and placed it in the other's Laboratory. She also piled up the parts of the Mark III to the side.

After changing his clothes, Tony entered the Laboratory and, looking at the Mark II and Mark III components in front of him, exclaimed, "Your ability is truly convenient!"

"I believe you will be able to develop similar equipment in the future!"

Tony's lips curled up slightly upon hearing Charlotte's praise.

Tony was already tired of being praised by ordinary people. He was a very proud and narcissistic person, but today, being praised by someone who could easily defeat him in terms of strength and had many special abilities, Tony was still in a very good mood.

"Give me time, and I believe everything will be fine."

Charlotte stood up and said, "Tony, I've tried out your armor today, and we've sparred. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

Hearing that Charlotte was about to take her leave, Tony said, "Alright, when I develop an even stronger suit of armor, we'll have a sparring match. Next time, I'll definitely beat you."

"Also, don't forget to bring Pakkun. Of course, if you forget, I don't mind adopting him."

Charlotte smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for your news."

"But Pakkun, you don't need to worry. It will go back on its own after midnight."

When Charlotte told Tony that Pakkun would be back on his own when it was time, Tony didn't say anything more, just waved goodbye.

After Charlotte left, Tony sat on his lab bench, lost in thought. After a moment, he spoke directly:

"Jarvis, was our battle fully recorded?"

"I have recorded the entire video of you and Mr. Charlotte."

"Analyze the opponent's strength and attack speed."

"Sir, Charlotte's speed varies at different times."

A photograph appeared in front of Tony; it was Charlotte Doyle in her normal state.

"At this moment, Mr. Charlotte's speed is at the level of the speed of sound."

Then a photograph appeared in front of Tony, showing Charlotte Doyle opening the Gate of Limit.

"At this point, Mr. Charlotte's speed reached supersonic levels."

"Furthermore, it's impossible to determine if this speed is the opponent's maximum speed, and most importantly, the opponent's reaction speed is also extremely quick."

"If we're only talking about movement speed, the Mark III armor isn't slower than its opponent, but that's its maximum flight speed. The opponent's reaction speed is what's truly terrifying."

"As for the force, based on the force of the blow, it's impossible to calculate the exact value at the moment, but the fact that it could easily peel off the Gold-Titanium Alloy armor clearly indicates a force exceeding ten tons."

"After all, our armor isn't very thick."

Upon hearing these figures, Tony exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't Captain America back then be like a baby in front of him?"

"Sir, in his presence, you are no different from a baby."

"Asshole!"

Tony cursed when he heard Jarvis mocking him.

"Save the video footage of this battle to my private server and encrypt it."

"Then begin repairing the armor."

On the other side.

Obadiah received a call from Raza of the Ten Rings and, along with a group of his men, drove to Migula.

Raza stood at the camp entrance, welcoming Obadiah as he disembarked.

"Welcome!"

Obadiah, with a smile on his face, walked up to Raza and looked her up and down.

"If you had killed them sooner, you wouldn't have lost so many men."

"I heard that you were attacked here today."

Raza stared at Obadiah and said, "That would be too easy on you."

"You didn't tell me that the target was Tony Stark."

Obadiah didn't pay any attention and went straight to the point. "Let me see what you're talking about."

Raza said in a heavy voice, "Wait, have your bodyguards wait outside."

Obadiah gestured for his bodyguards to stay outside, then followed Raza into the other person's tent.

Upon entering the tent, Obadiah saw a pile of blueprints and a laptop on the table.

Raza then went to the computer and quickly played a video of Tony testing the Mark I at the cave entrance.

Looking at the screen on the computer, Obadiah picked up the blueprints on the table and began to examine them. He quickly exclaimed, "So that's how he escaped?"

As the video continued playing, Obadiah saw someone he recognized.

The man Tony had arranged to meet at Stark Industries also appeared in the surveillance footage.

Obadiah pressed the pause button on the computer and then asked, "Who is this man? Why is he here?"

Raza's pupils contracted slightly when she saw the man in the image, then she said, "Tony didn't escape using this; he was rescued by this man."

Upon hearing Raza's words, Obadiah was reminded of an expense: the cost of searching for Tony.

He initially thought it was allocated to the military, but now it turns out it's for Tony's rescue.

"Who is he?"

Raza looked at the man in the picture and said helplessly, "I don't know who he is either. If you have any information about him, I hope you can give it to me."

At this moment, Raza pointed to the drawings in Obadiah's hand and said, "The drawings you have are just a first draft; he has already perfected his work."

"Today, it was Tony Stark who attacked Migula; that thing is practically the ultimate weapon."
