Rescuing Tony Stark

Seeing the two leave, Ginny asked curiously, "What mission? Do you need to find Iruka and the others?"

Charlotte laughed and said, "No need. Let them continue with the bounty missions. This time, I'll take charge myself."

When Ginny heard Charlotte say she would personally take charge, Ginny a little curious. After all, since the Boss became High Table Elders, he hadn't done any missions for a week; they had been running errands for him.

"How much?"

Ginny didn't ask about the mission details, but went straight to the bounty. In her opinion, the only thing that could get Charlotte Doyle to personally take on the task was a huge reward.

Charlotte smiled, held up one finger, and slowly uttered three words: "One hundred million!"

Upon hearing such an enormous reward, Ginny couldn't help but be stunned. She knew that John Wick's highest bounty was only $15 million, which had already aroused the greed of countless people. This $100 million reward was probably for assassinating the president.

Ginny whispered, "Is this an assassination attempt on the president?"

Charlotte's expression became very serious, and the atmosphere between the two became heavy.

Just when Ginny thought Charlotte was about to agree, she heard two words: "No."

For some reason, Ginny felt a sense of relief. Although Charlotte was powerful and the High Table was a global underground organization, if they really wanted to assassinate the president of a major United States like the United States, they would probably have to flee for their lives.

Seeing Ginny's expression, Charlotte couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. She then said with a smile, "Golden Secretary, get ready. Take all the cash in my account, except for the amount reserved for daily expenses, and invest the rest in the stock market. We're going to short Stark Industries."

This time, he not only had to solve the tax problem, but also his copper coin problem.

Ginny had no objection to Charlotte's illogical request; she simply confirmed the order was correct before setting to work.

Investing $90 million in the stock market, and choosing to be bearish on a giant like Stark Industries, is a significant move even without leverage.

However, compared to the giants of Stark Industries, one hundred million dollars is still a small matter and unlikely to attract much attention.

In the afternoon, Happy arrived at Charlotte Agency again with a suitcase.

"Mr. Charlotte, here is what you need."

Charlotte opened the box, inside were a watch and a small lock of hair. Looking at these two items, Charlotte nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's enough. With these two, finding Tony Stark will be no problem at all."

Clearly, Pepper Potts took Charlotte's request from that morning very seriously, not only having Happy bring Tony's jewelry but also sending over the hair Tony usually sheds on the bed.

Happy was visibly relieved when Charlotte said there was no problem, and then said, "Mr. Charlotte, I'm leaving Tony's matter to you."

"Don't worry, wait for my good news."

After handing the items to Charlotte, Happy turned and left the Agency.

Charlotte had Ginny book him the earliest flight to Afghanistan and then put the suitcase into his Storage Space.

······

the next day.

Charlotte had just stepped out of the Afghanistan airport when she felt the intense heat of the sun and the pervasive smell of gunpowder in the air.

In this region that had just emerged from war, forces under the High Table High Table were also active. Charlotte boarded a vehicle arranged by Ginny and headed to the scene of Tony's attack.

Meanwhile, in a secluded cave in the Afghanistan desert, Tony Stark stared at the Arc Reactor, which he had shrunk to a miniature size.

Yinsen, standing nearby, remarked, "This doesn't look like Jericho Missile."

Tony, without looking Arc Reactor, replied, "Because it's Miniature ARK Reactor."

"I have a large one at home that supplies electricity to the factory."

"It should be strong enough to hold the shrapnel."

Yinsen asked curiously, "How much electricity does he supply?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's generally correct; it should be three billion joules per second."

Upon hearing this data, Yinsen looked at Tony and said, "Enough for your heart to function for several thousand years."

Tony replied, "Yes, large appliances are powered for 15 minutes."

Tony Stark then produced a blueprint and said, "This is our escape tool."

Yinsen picked up the blueprint and looked at it, but couldn't understand it. Curious, he asked, "What is this?"

Tony Stark rearranged the blueprints and then said, "Look at it this way."

A suit of Iron Armor appeared before their eyes.

Yinsen exclaimed, "My God!"

"That's amazing."

At this moment, Yinsen was once again amazed by Tony Stark's talent. Only a genius like him could not have given up on survival even in such Extremis.

In the dusty mountains of Afghanistan, a military armored vehicle was speeding along. Charlotte Doyle inside appeared to be resting with her eyes closed, but her consciousness had actually entered the System Space.

The system will check you in.

Ding! Sign-in successful. Reward: one Ninjutsu Scroll.

Exiting the check-in page, Charlotte directly opened the Summoned Beast page. For this Tony Stark rescue operation, Charlotte planned to send out the Summoned Beast Blue Snake. After all, in his memory, the Ten Rings, who were imprisoning Stark, had deployed a lot of heavy firepower near the cave.

There were plenty of machine guns and artillery shells; if it hadn't caused a secondary explosion, it's a real question whether Tony could have escaped.

However, given the Blue Snake's enormous body and indestructible scales, it would surely be remarkably effective at sweeping through enemy lines.

Looking at the Summoning Realm, the Blue Snake was at level 0, and the resources required to upgrade it were 200 Prestige and 20,000 copper coins, with the resource consumption increasing with each level up.

However, each level up will increase the Blue Snake's strength to varying degrees, with significant improvements in both attack damage and defense.

Charlotte glanced at her current copper coins (3,522,000) Reputation Points (14,096), and thought to herself, "I hope my Prestige will allow Blue Snake to level up more."

The next second, Charlotte began her Blue Snake upgrade journey.

After spending all her Prestige and 3.02 million copper coins, Charlotte upgraded her Summoned Beast, Blue Snake Blue Snake, to level 20, significantly boosting its strength. However, it was still quite a distance from the maximum level of 50.

The car quickly arrived at the location where Tony Stark was attacked. Since more than two months had passed, the curfew had been lifted, and anyone could come here.

After getting out of the car, Charlotte immediately instructed, "Go back now. If you need me to pick someone up, I'll contact you via Satellite Phone."
