Come On, Let's Hurt Each Other

I can't say why, maybe it's because of the emotion of being a human being in two lifetimes, or maybe it's the emotion of witnessing the birth of a legend, or maybe it's because Xia Yu, who has integrated into the origin of the universe, has truly integrated into the pulse of this world.

Seeing Tony don the Nano Armor, Xia Yu felt a tear roll down his cheek.

While everyone was looking at Tony, Xia Yu quickly reached out to secretly wipe away the tear.

I just stretched out my hand.

"Tony, put your Armor away right now! Look, he's scared my brother to tears!" Thor yelled at Tony, pointing at Xia Yu's face.

Xia Yu's hand was only halfway out.

It was a little awkward.

"Natasha, bring me the Power Stone. I'm sending Thor to meet the ancient gods of Asgard today." Xia Yu chased Thor all over the world, causing chaos and confusion.

"Why not wear these on your chest instead of wearing bracelets on your limbs?" Hawkeye asked, pointing at Tony's clothes.

"Putting on the Armor this way will be faster. Originally, I just wanted to put it on my chest, since the reactor is quite large and there's no energy source elsewhere. But the battery technology Xia Yu brought back from space changed that. All I need is a piece the size of a fingernail, and the energy inside is more than enough to power the nanobots into the Armor. Once the whole thing is connected, it's still powered by the reactor in my chest. What a perfect design."

Hawkeye asked casually, Tony went on and on about how he was showing off. Hawkeye couldn't help but get excited. He had known about the concept of Nano Armor for a long time, and he even had a backup of the Armor's design in JARVIS's database.

I originally thought it would take at least four or five years to complete this design, but I never expected Xia Yu to go to space and bring back so many wonderful things.

"And then there's the Xandar fighter jet Xia Yu brought back. This completes my envisioned Armor legion. Combined with JARVIS's control, and of course, with a fully developed artificial intelligence, its power will be even greater. Do you know the difference between JARVIS and true artificial intelligence? And your equipment..."

Tony grabbed Hawkeye and started wildly showing off and explaining the scientific achievements they had made recently. Hawkeye slapped himself hard. Why did he have to provoke him? More than three months of working day and night on research and development, look at what he's been working on!

With initial success in Nanotechnology and ongoing research into the spaceship, Tony is engrossed in designing a powerful defensive suit for the Avengers, especially for normal humans like Hawkeye Natasha.

Although everyone had practiced Xia Yu's techniques and their physical abilities had greatly improved, a powerful single-soldier weapon could still threaten their lives. With defensive Armor, things were different; their safety was much higher during chaotic battles.

Tony, who had just started a new project, had his research interrupted by an accident. Happy, one of Tony's best friends, who had worked as his bodyguard and driver for many years and was now Pepper Potts's driver and Happy, was attacked by a terrorist bomb at the Huaxia Theatre and was seriously injured and hospitalized.

Tony rushed to the hospital, and Xia Yu went with him. After all, he had spent a lot of time with Happy when he was with Tony every day, and Happy was a kind and honest man.

Xia Yu and Tony arrived at the hospital, where reporters, having heard the news, immediately surrounded it. Terrorists had attacked Iron Man's good friend, and Dragon Knight and Iron Man were rushing to the hospital. Would the Avengers take action against the terrorists? These were the questions the reporters were particularly concerned about.

During this time, the Avengers into seclusion, and Dr. Killian's terrorist Ten Rings, carried out several bomb attacks. The United States government only announced one of them to the outside world because the so-called the Mandarin publicly declared to the world that he was responsible for the bombing.

The government concealed everything else, and in order to avoid causing panic among the public and to assure them that the United States government was capable of protecting everyone, the government even had Colonel Rhodes appear in public wearing Armor.

Not only were the Armors painted in the colors of the national flag, but they were also named the Iron Patriot.

Because of Xia Yu's appearance in this world, the Avengers have dealt the United States government several resounding blows. Therefore, compared to Xia Yu's previous life, the government is now working even harder to hide and downplay the impact of the explosions, striving to eliminate the terrorists and salvage its image in front of the public.

The current acting president also needs a strong record to give himself a chance in his next election campaign.

So even Xia Yu didn't notice that the imposter the Mandarin had already appeared.

The Extremis Virus has begun to secretly modify many disabled veterans.

All of the above analysis was given by Colonel Rhodes over the phone. Rhodey called as soon as Happy's accident happened.

Since it was a public place like a hospital, Xia Yu didn't dare to open the door directly. Instead, he chose to drive there, with Tony in a terrible mood.

Poor Happy, more than half of his body was wrapped in gauze, only one eye was visible on his face, and a breathing tube was inserted into his nostril.

Seeing Tony and Xia Yu approach, Happy winked at them, indicating that he was alright.

"Xia, can you help him with his treatment? Although the doctor said he's fine, but..." Tony was very worried about Happy's health.

Xia Yu reluctantly refused, saying, "If I could, I would have already started, Tony. I absorbed the energy of the Infinity Stones, and the energy in my body is too violent right now. I can heal myself, and I can heal the Captain and the others. Even for you guys who have trained, I have to carefully disperse and control some of the energy. Happy's body can't withstand my energy. I'm sorry, Tony."

Xia Yu carefully examined Happy's injuries.

"He looks quite serious, but it's just some external injuries. He needs time to recover. It's nothing serious, Tony, don't worry."

"Don't turn off the TV, he'll get bored, especially on weekend nights. He really likes Downton Abbey; he thinks it's very elegant. Remember to let him watch it." Tony carefully instructed the nurse, and then called in a team from Stark Industries to protect Happy before leaving the hospital with Xia Yu.

As soon as they stepped out of the hospital, they were surrounded by a group of reporters.

"Mr. Stark, your bodyguards have been attacked by terrorists. Rumor has it that this is yet another terrorist attack by the Mandarin. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Mr. Xia, regarding this terrorist attack, will the Avengers step in to deal with the terrorist?"

"Mr. Xia..."

"Mr. Stark..."

Tony had no interest in the reporters, and Xia was too lazy to say anything either. As they prepared to drive away, a male reporter holding up his phone shouted a question just before they got into the car.

"When exactly will someone kill this terrorist, Mr. Stark, Mr. Xia? Do you have any good answers? Tell me."

Tony turned around angrily and said to the reporter.

"I have a holiday greeting for the Mandarin. You're a complete coward who only dares to attack civilians. I'm Tony Stark, and I'm going to kill you myself. This has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with the Pentagon. This is just a traditional revenge drama, a face-to-face battle between you and us. I'll be waiting for you at Avengers Compound, we..."

Xia Yu interrupted Tony, "The address of our new base is..." Xia Yu quickly recited a secret address, ignoring Tony's surprised look, and continued, "We'll keep our doors open 24/7, waiting for you to come and die."

After saying that, Xia Yu grabbed the reporter's phone and crushed it to pieces with his bare hands. "I won't pay for your phone."

They got in the car, took Tony, and drove off.

In a secret U.S. Military base, Colonel Rhodes watched television and cursed through gritted teeth.

"Xia, you damned bastard, you gave us the address of our base!"

Xia Yu had met the real the Mandarin in Afghanistan before, but he hadn't revealed his identity. Xia Yu figured it out himself, but he didn't tell Tony and the others. So, Tony didn't connect this imposter's appearance with the previous one.
