Mark I

Having dealt with the external enemies, Charlotte Doyle approached Blue Snake and said, "Blue Snake, you're in charge of watching the outside. If anyone else shows up, just kill them."

"Understood, Lord Charlotte."

After giving Blue Snake a brief instruction, Charlotte Doyle entered the cave in front of him. The cave wasn't very dark because of the lighting, and Charlotte also closed her Sharingan.

After a winding and circuitous journey, Charlotte arrived at the place where Tony Stark was being held. The iron gates were wide open, and there were seven or eight corpses lying around.

In the center of the room, Pakkun lay on the floor, gazing at the passageway outside the door. Upon seeing Charlotte appear, Pakkun said, "Lord Charlotte, I have successfully completed the mission without harming the target."

"Thank you for your hard work, Pakkun." Charlotte stepped forward and patted Pakkun's head.

Hearing their conversation, Tony Stark and Yinsen also emerged from the corner. Looking at the man before them, Tony asked curiously, "Are you Charlotte?"

"Who sent someone to ask you to rescue me?"

After asking two questions, Tony glanced at Pakkun beside Charlotte and said, "Your Ninja Dog is excellent."

Charlotte looked at the two men in front of her, Tony Stark and Yinsen.

Charlotte wasn't surprised that Yinsen survived; after all, she had sent Pakkun, and if he could save Tony, Yinsen would naturally be safe as well.

As long as Yinsen is alive, it shouldn't affect the creation of Iron Man, right?

Charlotte glanced at the unassembled First Hokage Mark I on the ground and the Arc Reactor on Tony's chest, and thought for a moment that with these two things, there shouldn't be any problems.

Without dwelling on it, Charlotte said, "I am Charlotte Doyle, the owner of Charlotte Agency."

"As for why I'm here and have come to rescue you, it's because of your secretary, Pepper Potts."

"She came to my Agency and made a request, hoping that I could bring you back alive."

"And they paid $100 million for it."

Upon hearing that it was Charlotte Doyle, whom Pepper Potts had contacted, Tony was visibly taken aback. He hadn't expected that she would be the one to rescue him in the end. As for the $100 million, it was nothing to him; he didn't care.

Tony looked at Charlotte and then said, "Thank you. It seems your Agency is very capable. The US military couldn't find me, but you succeeded."

Charlotte smiled, then glanced at the parts scattered around the room before saying, "You're probably the only ones still alive here. I've taken care of the other enemies. Pack up and we'll leave together later."

Tony's mood improved considerably upon hearing that all the enemies had been dealt with, and he said, "No need to clean up anymore. I don't want to stay here a second longer. Let's leave now."

Seeing Tony Stark's impatience, Charlotte shook her head and said, "There's poisonous fog outside the cave, and it hasn't dissipated yet. It's not a good time to go out."

"If you don't have anything to pack, just wait here for a while."

Upon hearing Charlotte mention the poisonous fog outside the cave, Tony asked in surprise, "You used Poison Gas Grenade?"

"That thing is forbidden to use, but don't worry, no one will hold you accountable. I'll help you take care of it."

Clearly, Tony believed that Charlotte had deployed Poison Gas Grenade outside the valley to save him, which was why the battle was resolved so quickly.

Charlotte laughed, "It's not Poison Gas Grenade, but it's definitely poisonous fog. You'll see when we get out."

Hearing Charlotte say that they would know once they got outside, they didn't ask any more questions. Thinking that there was still time, they pulled Yinsen along and started assembling their mechs.

Even though there's no longer any fighting needed, it's not Tony Stark's style to give up on something that's almost finished; abandoning halfway through is never a good habit.

Charlotte watched with great interest as Tony began assembling the Mark I.

The Mark 1, while not particularly powerful, was the prototype for Tony's Mark series, and its creation was of great significance to the future Iron Man.

For him, a Marvel fan, it's also a great collectible.

As Tony assembled the Mark I, he asked, "Charlotte, do you own a biological research institute?"

When Charlotte heard Tony ask about the biological research institute, Charlotte was taken aback for a moment. The question was too far-fetched, but when she saw Pakkun lying next to her, she immediately understood.

Then he answered, "Tony, I don't have a biological research institute, and Pakkun's ability to speak isn't due to biological research."

Hearing Charlotte's words, Tony shrugged indifferently and quickened his pace, clearly assuming Charlotte didn't want to talk about it. He then asked, "Charlotte, can I have a talking, powerful Ninja Dog like Pakkun?"

"It's called Ninja Dog, right?"

"I'm willing to pay a certain price; you can name your price. The only question is whether there are other breed options. I prefer Golden Retrievers."

Listening to Tony Stark's words, Charlotte knew that Tony had also been won over by Pakkun and wanted to have his own Ninja Dog.

Charlotte Doyle said regretfully, "Tony, you can't have Ninja Dog. It's not something that money can buy. They're unique in this world; you can't get them even if you spend money."

Rejected again, Tony said helplessly, "Fine, it seems I won't be able to have my own Ninja Dog."

"Pakkun, I promised to provide you with a lifetime supply of deluxe dog food. Where should I send it when we get back?"

Charlotte looked at Pakkun with some surprise. Had he found her a meal ticket, and a lifelong one at that?

Seeing that Charlotte had no objections, Pakkun said, "Sir, please just deliver it to Charlotte Agency."

Upon hearing the name again, Tony decided that he must learn more about this Agency when he got back.

After assembling all the parts, Tony put on his armor and said, "Yinsen, help me tighten the screws."

Following Tony's instructions, Yinsen began to button Tony's clothes and tighten screws.

Seeing that the screws were almost all in, Tony instructed, "Yinsen, turn on the power."

Yinsen put down his tools, turned around, and asked, "Tell me, how do I do it?"

Function key 11.

"Tell me when you see the progress bar."

Yinsen followed Tony's instructions, and seeing the response on the computer, he said, "Okay, it's appeared."

"It's time to start guiding them."

Tony continued, "Press 'I' for control, then press Enter."

Charlotte Doyle stood by, quietly watching the two men's actions.

Soon, the progress bar was full, and Tony Stark's Mark I was officially activated.

The sun had risen outside, the poisonous fog had dissipated, and a giant snake, hundreds of meters long, lay prostrate outside the cave entrance, watching the outside world.
