After receiving his medal from the government, Tony arrived at Charlotte Doyle's base.
Upon meeting Charlotte, he said, "It seems I also need to build such a base, so that I can have a safer place."
Clearly, due to the exposure of the address, Tony's house has been reduced to ruins.
Charlotte, however, thought of the Avengers Compound Tony would build in the future, and said, "You really need a base to house your hobbies."
At that moment, the television screen beside them was broadcasting news of the Stark's medals being awarded. Tony glanced at the news and said:
"I think you deserve some credit for this medal."
Charlotte waved her hand and said, "I have no interest in this."
"If I wanted, I could get quite a few of these. That guy Black Egg wanted to give me a lot of those titles back then."
Hearing this, Tony smiled, then took a metal box from his pocket, slightly opened it to reveal the New Element inside, and said with a smile, "And what about this thing?"
Charlotte smiled and said, "You know me well."
He took the box from Tony, opened it, and saw a full 20 New Element. He exclaimed in surprise, "So many?"
Tony picked up the whiskey on the table, took a sip, and then said, "I know that after what happened, it's not just me who needs to improve, but those around me also need to increase their strength."
"Even if she doesn't have the ability to join the battle, she should at least have the ability to withdraw from the battlefield."
"I need a Physical Enhancement Serum to improve Pepper Potts's survivability."
"After all, with my personality, it's impossible for me to always be safe around me."
It's clear that Tony came here to buy Pepper Potts a Physical Enhancement Serum.
Charlotte did not refuse Tony's request and directly took out a packaged Physical Enhancement Serum from her Storage Space.
"Here's the Physical Enhancement Serum you requested."
"However, after using it on Pepper Potts, it's recommended that she undergo some special training to master her own power."
Tony nodded. "Yes, otherwise the things in the office might not be able to withstand her power."
After confirming the issue of the Physical Enhancement Serum, Tony changed the subject and said:
"Charlotte, this Ten Rings and the Mandarin are imposters, but you told me that the Ten Rings does exist in this world."
How can I find them?
Clearly, although Killian is the mastermind behind this, Tony has no intention of letting go of the Ten Rings that kidnapped him before.
Charlotte looked at Tony and asked, "Are you planning to go to war with the Ten Rings?"
Tony nodded. "If I didn't know they existed, that would be fine."
"But since I know they're still in this world, I feel I have to do something about it."
Charlotte thought for a moment, then said, "Yes, but finding them won't be easy."
You need to sign a mission authorization agreement.
As they spoke, Charlotte Doyle took out a blank scroll from his Storage Space. Although he had a good relationship with Tony, he had no intention of helping him for no reason.
Seeing that Charlotte mentioned a mission request, Tony wasn't surprised and asked, "How much is the fee? How many US Dollar?"
Tony clearly believed that this commission didn't involve anything extraordinary; it was simply a task that could be commissioned with the help of US Dollar.
Charlotte shook her head and held up two fingers, saying, "We need 20 New Element."
Tony was taken aback by the request, but knowing Charlotte wouldn't lie to him about it, he thought for a moment and asked, "Does this involve the supernatural?"
Charlotte: "So are you sure you want to go to war with them?"
Hearing Charlotte's words, Tony said seriously, "Since it involves the supernatural, this cancer should be removed even more."
Charlotte nodded, quickly wrote the information on the Mission Scroll, and handed it to Tony for signature.
After signing the mission Commission Form, Tony said, "I didn't bring that many New Element; I'll send them over later."
"As for the location of the Ten Rings, just let me know once you've confirmed it."
"Since the other party involves the extraordinary, I need to manufacture a batch of battle armor."
Charlotte nodded, then said, "I don't know the location of the Ten Rings's headquarters right now; I need some time to investigate. You can take this opportunity to prepare some more battle armor."
"Tony, a supernatural organization that has existed for thousands of years—if you don't prepare some methods, the final outcome will definitely be something you don't want to see."
Tony nodded solemnly upon hearing Charlotte's words, then said, "I'll be prepared."
Tony didn't linger. After donning his Iron Man Armor, he took the box containing the Physical Enhancement Serum and left.
Seeing Tony leave, Charlotte threw the mission Commission Form into the Task Gathering Hall and received an A-level mission rating, which she thought was pretty good.
Then, recalling Xu Wenwu's strength from the Ten Rings, Tony realized that even with the Ten Rings buff, he might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
Especially for Tony at this point, the capabilities of his armor are far from what they were in Phase Avengers: Endgame.
However, letting him test the other party's abilities is acceptable, but he might die while testing them. It seems we'll need to make more arrangements then.
Charlotte Doyle then went to Tsunade's Laboratory. Seeing Tsunade and Shizune busy at work, he asked, "Any leads on the Extremis Virus?"
"Where is Maya Hansen? Isn't she here?"
Seeing that Maya Hansen wasn't in the Laboratory, Charlotte asked with some curiosity.
Tsunade stopped what she was doing, looked up at Charlotte, and said, "Her idea is very creative, but Orochimaru and I have already divided the Extremis Virus into two directions."
"My main focus is recovery and healing."
"By injecting a certain amount of medication, the nerve center in the brain is activated, and the body is reorganized and repaired."
"It can be used to heal injuries and severed limbs, but it does not have the ability to control fire, nor does it pose a risk of high-temperature explosion."
"Furthermore, based on the dosage, patients will only undergo one repair treatment. Once the repair is complete, the effects of the medication will disappear. If the user was an ordinary person before, they will remain an ordinary person after using the medication; no additional abilities will be granted, and any subsequent injuries will not heal automatically."
"As for Orochimaru, his idea is to abandon the regenerative ability and enhance the ability to control fire, giving the user the ability to attack with high temperatures and use flamethrowers."
"As for Maya Hansen being taken away by Orochimaru, she's currently in his Laboratory."
Clearly, Tsunade and Orochimaru divided the Extremis Virus in two: one for researching treatment and recovery, and the other for researching offensive capabilities.
"Both of you have excellent research directions, especially Tsunade's."
"For us, giving ordinary people the ability of Fire Style wouldn't be of much help."
"But if we can develop a medicine that can restore injuries and severed limbs, then it will be of the greatest help to us."
"Not only can we use it, but it can also save more disabled people."
Tsunade nodded. "Back when I was in Konoha, I had the idea of popularizing Medical Ninja. If something like that had existed back then, the war might not have lasted so long, and there might not have been so many casualties."
"Especially for those ninjas who were left with disabilities and had to retire."
Charlotte: "Everything is in the past. Although we can't change what happened back then, if the research and development is successful, you will change the world."
Tsunade nodded solemnly, then said, "I will figure it out as soon as possible."
"Come on!"
After encouraging Tsunade, Charlotte did not disturb her in the Laboratory.
If this project is successfully developed, it will be of great help to him, and it can be considered a development that changes the world.
As for Orochimaru's research direction, it's also a good project. Once the research is successful, he'll have another product to sell.
······
Back in her room, Charlotte gave Red Queen an order to create a mask using Vibranium, and then took out the 20 New Element that Tony had given her.
Ding! Items available for recharge. Would you like to recharge them?
Top up!
Ding! Top-up successful! You have received 10,000 Gold Coin!
During this period, eight layers of the seal that Grimhold Charlotte were broken, bringing her eight pieces of magical equipment. After recharging all the equipment, Charlotte received 16,000 Gold Coin, bringing her total Gold Coin back to 76,199.
After recharging, Charlotte browsed the System Space and checked the Ninja Fragment in the System Store updated today. After looking through them, he didn't find anything he wanted and didn't make a purchase.
"Red Queen."
"Master, I'm here."
"Tell Shino Aburame and Eddie to come to the base tomorrow. I have a mission for them."
"Yes, Master."
······
The next day.
Eddie and Shino Aburame arrived at the base.
In the conference room, Charlotte looked at the two people in front of her and said:
"Eddie, I have a task for you."
Eddie replied respectfully, "Sir, please speak."
"In the Ten Rings incident, Trevor, who played the Mandarin, has been sentenced and imprisoned. What you need to do is conduct a special interview with him."
Upon hearing this request, Eddie readily replied, "No problem, sir. This kind of work is perfect for me."
Are there any requirements regarding the topic of the interview?
Charlotte shook her head and said, "There are no requirements. Just do whatever you like."
Charlotte then looked at Shino Aburame and said, "Shino, your mission is to go with Eddie to interview Trevor, and what you need to do is leave a Kikaichū on him."
"I require you to use Kikaichū to continuously monitor the other party's location and report to me immediately after they leave that prison."
"Yes, Lord Charlotte."
Eddie, now somewhat curious, asked, "Sir, is someone else eyeing Trevor?"
"Isn't he just a Puppet who popped up out of nowhere?"
Charlotte laughed, "No, the Ten Rings is real. Impersonating them can attract the real Ten Rings."
"Shino Aburame's goal is to find the Ten Rings's lair through Trevor."
Eddie said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect the Ten Rings to be so interesting, really interesting."
Charlotte waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can go and get ready."
"Yes, Lord Charlotte!" x2
Eddie and Shino Aburame left the conference room and walked out the door. Eddie communicated with Venom, saying, "Dude, why were you so quiet just now? That's not like you."
Venom's voice echoed in Eddie's mind, "Terrifying, absolutely terrifying."
"There are too many auras in this base that can destroy me; I feel extremely uncomfortable here."
Venom's voice was extremely weak, and its entire body was huddled inside Eddie's gall, not daring to show itself.
Seeing this, Eddie almost burst out laughing. After walking a short distance, he looked at Shino Aburame and said:
"I'll do some preparations for the interview first, and then I'll contact you again after I receive the interview request so we can go together."
Shino Aburame, hands in her pockets and wearing dark sunglasses, stopped and said, "Call me when you're ready."
After saying that, Shino Aburame vanished from Eddie's sight in a flash.
Upon witnessing this, Eddie exclaimed, "What a cool, quiet guy, just too young."
Eddie then shook his head and left Charlotte Doyle's base, hopped on his Harley-Davidson Motorcycle, and went to pick up his girlfriend from work.
······
One week later.
Inside a New York prison.
The door to Trevor's room opened, and a prison guard walked over and said:
"Trevor, Eddie from News Corp. will be interviewing you. Get ready, I'll take you to the interview room in a bit."
Upon hearing the prison guard's words, Trevor looked at him and asked, "Can I refuse?"
The prison guard said seriously, "No, you don't have the right to refuse."
Seeing the prison guard's serious expression, Trevor said, "Under federal law, I remember that criminals have the right to refuse interviews."
What are the benefits of participating in an interview?
The prison guard drew his baton, looked at Trevor, and said, "I don't know what you'd gain from participating in this interview."
"But if you refuse, I believe you'll be in trouble right now."
"This is a request from a very important person above."
Seeing the baton the other person pulled out and the thick Oxford Dictionary they took out of the drawer, Trevor paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "An interview? This is a good thing, how could I refuse?"
Seeing Trevor's sensible Trevor, the prison guard put down his dictionary and baton with some disappointment. He had wanted to take this opportunity to teach the boy a lesson, but unexpectedly...
Then, somewhat annoyed, he said, "In that case, come with me."
Soon, the prison guards brought Trevor, who played the Mandarin, to the interview room, where Eddie and Shino Aburame, who were already prepared, were waiting for him.
