Whiplash

Justin Hammer had moved to a different spot in the hotel's executive lobby and was being interviewed by Christine.

"Tony and I respect each other; we are not rivals."

"His withdrawal from the arms sales industry spurred the rapid development of Hammer Industries, and there was healthy competition between Tony and me."

At that moment, Tony's voice came from the television behind Justin Hammer, making Justin Hammer turn around curiously.

On the television screen, Tony is being asked by a reporter, "The point of owning a race car is to race; otherwise, what's the point?"

Watching Tony's answer on TV, Justin Hammer exclaimed incredulously, "He wants to race cars?"

For a top billionaire to participate in racing, especially such a dangerous sport, is a complete departure from Justin Hammer's values.

······

Pepper Potts, who was looking through the menu, also saw Tony on TV and immediately turned to Natasha, asking, "Natalie, do you know he's going to race?"

"I only found out now."

He can't race.

"I understand, how can I help you?"

Where's Happy?

He's outside.

"I need Happy, I'm coming right away."

Without hesitation, Natasha immediately got up and ran out.

At this moment, Tsunade looked at Charlotte with some confusion, and then asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with this sport?"

"There's nothing wrong with exercising, but compared to the average person, this sport carries some risks; an accident could be fatal."

Tsunade nodded thoughtfully, then said to Pepper Potts, "Tony shouldn't be an ordinary person, right? He should be fine."

Pepper Potts opened her mouth to speak when Happy walked in carrying a red Suitcase and gestured to Pepper Potts at the door.

"Excuse me, I need to take a moment to leave."

After saying that, Pepper Potts ran out, got into the car, and sped off with Happy onto the track.

Tsunade watched the two leave, thought for a moment, and then said, "Would you like us to go take a look together?"

At that moment, Ivan Vanko, dressed as a track and field staff member, appeared on the television screen and was broadcast live.

Charlotte frowned slightly as she looked at the people appearing on television. "He still came."

"Who?" Tsunade asked curiously.

"A fellow who wanted to join me, but wasn't taken in by me."

"Let's go, let's go take a look at the scene."

The next moment, Charlotte and Tsunade left the hotel and headed towards the arena.

······

As the race car pulled up, Ivan Vanko swung his arms, and two whips extended from his sleeves. After pressing a switch, his work clothes were instantly burned away by a powerful electric current, revealing the crude armor inside his body: Whiplash Generation 1.

At this moment, Ivan ran towards the track, carrying two whips. An F1 car came hurtling towards him with a whooshing sound. Ivan Vanko swung one of his whips and slashed at the oncoming car.

"Whoosh!"

Sparks flew and Flash flashed. The F1 car was no match for the Whiplash. The front of the car was instantly split in two, and the car flew up and crashed onto the track ahead.

"Boom!"

The speeding race car crashed on the spot, but fortunately, it did not explode.

At this point, security personnel began evacuating the spectators from the match, and rescue teams rushed towards the wrecked vehicles with fire extinguishers.

However, Tony, focused on driving, was unaware of the situation at the race site and continued driving forward.

Ivan waited for Tony's race car, and seizing the opportunity, he lashed out with his whip towards the front of the car. However, because the car was going too fast, the whip didn't hit Tony in the driver's seat, but instead sliced the front wheel of the car to pieces.

The race car lost its front wheel and instantly rolled over, flying towards the spot where it had crashed earlier. Fortunately, the car Tony had chosen was of excellent quality; although it rolled over, it didn't suffer too much damage.

Ivan, carrying two whips, slowly walked towards Tony's location.

Charlotte and Tsunade had already arrived at the stands, much faster than Pepper Potts, who had left earlier.

"Do you need our help?"

"Tony should be able to handle this without us having to lift a finger."

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Tsunade lost interest in intervening and instead watched with her arms crossed.

······

Ivan brandished the long whip in his hand, and visible plasma currents danced and flickered on it. At this moment, several race cars behind him collided while trying to avoid Ivan on the track, causing an explosion that sent Kakkō soaring into the sky.

At this moment, Tony removed his helmet, observed the approaching enemy and the changes taking place, and quickly climbed out while the flames and smoke obscured his vision.

Ivan walked up to Tony's race car and lashed out with his whip at the driver's seat, splitting the car in two once again. Looking down at the driver's seat, he couldn't find Tony anywhere.

Just as Ivan Vanko was wondering what was going on, Tony suddenly appeared behind him with the car door frame in his hand and then delivered a vicious blow to his head.

Tsunade, watching from the stands, shook her head. "What a pity, such a great opportunity for a sneak attack."

However, Tony's attack did not knock Ivan Vanko unconscious; it only made him stagger.

Ivan lashed out with his whip at Tony, instantly knocking the door from Tony's hand. He continued to lash out with the whip, one lash, two lashes, three lashes in total, but Ivan's aim was too poor, and Tony dodged each one by rolling on the ground.

As Tony turned to run, Ivan spun around and lashed out, striking Tony's feet with his whip. The powerful plasma current blasted Tony away.

Tsunade watched the battle unfold before her, finding it utterly boring. "Their fighting ability is even inferior to that of students from the Ninja Academy."

"I think the older Ninja Academy students fought much better than them."

"However, the weapon this guy is using looks pretty good, a whip wrapped in Flash. I just don't know if that's all the power he can get."

"However, I think Second Grandfather's Thunder God Sword should be much more powerful than this."

Looking at Tsunade's Tsunade from the side, Charlotte nodded, tacitly agreeing with her assessment, but still said, "Their physical abilities are indeed very poor, but the technology they've developed makes their combat power not to be underestimated."

"When Pepper Potts delivers the armor, the tide of battle will immediately turn."

"I hope so!"

Ivan brandished his long whip and walked towards Tony, who had been blasted to the ground. The two whips were wielded by Ivan with great force, and plasma currents converged in the air.
