Revenge? Perks!

On the other side.

Ivan Vanko, in a Moscow detention center, looked at the already gray sky outside with some surprise.

Tony didn't even come looking for me? Doesn't he want to know anything about me?

Doesn't he want to know how I developed the small Arc Reactor?

Ivan Vanko had prepared many words to say to the heir of the thief and Butcher family who had ruined his family's life.

He even planned to mock the other party, but Ivan Vanko was unaware that Tony had already obtained the relevant information from Charlotte and had lost interest in visiting him.

······

After returning to New York.

Charlotte parted ways with Tony and the others, each returning to their own homes.

On the way back, Tsunade didn't speak to Charlotte at all while sitting in the car. She hadn't won a single game on the plane, and Charlotte had even flicked her forehead until it was swollen. If it weren't for her Medical Ninjutsu that helped her recover, she wouldn't have been able to show her face in public.

John Wick drove the two back to the entrance of the Agency. As soon as they got out of the car, Tsunade, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly spoke:

"I think you still have some shortcomings in the use of Ninjutsu."

"Let's have a sparring session later. I'll see where you're having problems and give you some pointers."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Charlotte felt a chill run down her spine, then said somewhat uncertainly, "I don't think there's a problem. How about we rest today and spar again next time?"

"It's getting late, and the flight must have been tiring."

Tsunade up to Charlotte, put an arm around Charlotte's neck, and pulled down hard, trapping Charlotte's head under her arm.

"Don't even think about running away. I think there's something wrong with your Ninjutsu. We need to spar and I'll correct it."

"You have to believe me, this is absolutely not revenge. We're about to defend against the attack from Hell, and we're doing everything we can to improve your strength."

The sudden feeling of suffocation prevented Charlotte from hearing what Tsunade said, and she was thus vaguely dragged to the Training Room by her.

Upon arriving at the Training Room, Tsunade immediately released Charlotte, but upon seeing Charlotte's dazed state, she quickly realized what was happening.

He had been so focused on revenge that he forgot his actions had gone a bit too far. His face flushed red, and then he shouted, "Let's spar!"

"Boom!"

"Thump!"

"Ah!"

The entire Agency shook, and amidst Charlotte's screams, the two began their formal sparring match.

······

On the other side.

Inside the Monaco detention center.

Ivan Vanko didn't get Tony Stark's help, but he did get help from someone else.

Looking at the keys, the bomb, and the replacement personnel in front of him, Ivan smiled.

"Tony, your retribution is coming."

Subsequently, through a series of maneuvers involving a switcheroo, Ivan Vanko left the detention center and was taken to another location.

Stepping out of the car, Ivan Vanko looked at the empty factory in front of him, the NI767 aircraft parked inside, and the man sitting in a chair enjoying his dinner.

"He's here."

"It's a pleasure to have you here. Welcome!"

Looking at the handcuffs on Ivan Vanko's hands, Justin Hammer said, "Seriously, unlock my friend's handcuffs."

The security personnel nearby unlocked Ivan's handcuffs.

"Forgive me, I'm a huge fan of yours, and I don't want to leave a bad impression on you."

Justin Hammer said to the security guard beside him, "He's not an animal, he's a person."

Seeing the handcuffs removed, Justin continued, "Thank you, you can go now."

"Sir, he's really dangerous, be careful."

Justin Hammer waved his hand. "I know, we'll be fine."

Then Justin Hammer extended a hand to Ivan Vanko and said, "I am Justin Hammer. I'd like to do some business with you. Please have a seat."

After shaking hands with the other party, Ivan Vanko sat down.

Then the waiter brought out a variety of dishes. Justin, while eating dessert, said, "I have whatever you want. Looks like you'd also like to kill Tony Stark."

"When I saw you attack him on the racetrack, you stood before him like a heavenly warrior, everyone thought..."

Wow, that's amazing!

"You're sending me a message, and I know that, and you know I'll listen."

"So I can't let them send you away and waste your talent."

"However, I have a suggestion for you: don't just send someone to try and kill him."

"My thought is that if it were me, I would have stifled his achievements."

Looking at the silent Ivan Vanko, Justin Hammer continued, "I think we have a lot in common, the only difference is that I have resources."

"I think you need my resources; I'll be your backer, your patron."

"I really like that person."

Seeing Justin Hammer stop speaking, Ivan Vanko smiled and said, "You want me to work for you, to be your weapon."

"I appreciate your ideas, and I'm willing to cooperate with you."

Seeing that Ivan Vanko had agreed, Justin smiled, then raised his glass and said, "Come on, cheers!"

"Wait a moment."

"What's up?"

"I want my little bird."

Justin hesitated for a moment before saying, "A little bird, do you want a little bird?"

Ivan said seriously, "I want my little bird."

"I can give you ten little birds."

Ivan slammed his hand on the table and shouted again, "I want my little bird!"

"Okay, nothing is impossible. You mean, the little bird in Russia?"

"Yes!"

"OK, no problem."

"But what did you mean when you shouted on the track, ' Charlotte, I did it!'?"

"Was Charlotte involved in or funded your matter?"

"That Charlotte Doyle, the major shareholder of Stark Industries?"

Upon hearing Justin's words, Ivan remained silent for a moment before recounting his story of how he had taken the Arc Reactor to seek refuge, only to be kicked out.

"That's because he lacks vision. Believe me, this is the place for you to showcase your talents."

"Let's join forces. You have the technology, and I have the resources. We'll make those who looked down on you regret it."

"Both Tony Stark and Charlotte Doyle will pay the price for this."

Watching Justin Hammer speak eloquently, Ivan inwardly scoffed: Are you sure you understand Charlotte Doyle and want him to pay the price?

Rely on you? That's utterly absurd.

However, Ivan Vanko smiled, picked up his drink, and clinked glasses with Justin Hammer to celebrate the successful collaboration!
