Of course, this is also because Wu Chen had already promised Tony that he would go to the Stark Expo.
He would never stand up a friend.
As for checking the situation at Hammer Industries and whether Ivan Vanko was within Hammer Industries, that was just incidental.
Since he had plenty of time, Wu Chen walked over.
As he walked, he bought various snacks along the way to fill his stomach.
By the time Wu Chen arrived at the Stark Expo area, it was already five o'clock.
At this moment, the sun was setting, but the venue was still packed with people.
There are no tickets for the Stark Expo; anyone can enter, which is why there are so many people there.
Of course, Stark Industries' headquarters requires an entrance fee; otherwise, how could it possibly accommodate everyone in such a small building?
With some time to spare before the 8 o'clock opening ceremony, Wu Chen decided to wander around the other venues and accomplish his goal along the way.
So he started wandering around.
However, before he could even reach the Hammer Industries' guild hall, he saw an acquaintance.
Two children.
One is Peter Parker, and the other is the blonde little girl that Minato Namikaze saved for the first time.
That blonde little girl seems to be named Mindy, and she'll apparently become a superhero someday, albeit a street superhero— Hit-Girl.
After thinking about it, Wu Chen decided not to go over and say hello.
He met these two children when he was playing Minato Namikaze, and Wu Chen shouldn't have known them.
In addition, given the large age gap and severe generational divide, Wu Chen turned and walked towards the Hammer Industries Pavilion.
When we arrived at the Hammer Industries Pavilion, it was also very crowded.
Just as Wu Chen arrived, the president of Hammer Industries was giving a speech.
Justin Hammer, wiggling his awkward, clumsy dance steps, moved from the edge of the stage to the center. "Hey! Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for coming, thank you for supporting Hammer Industries!"
"For years, our country sent brave soldiers to risk their lives in battle, and then Iron Man appeared, and we thought no more lives would be lost."
As they spoke, scenes of the aftermath of war appeared on the screen at the back of the exhibition hall, causing the audience to bow their heads in silence.
"But Tony is unwilling to reveal his advanced technology," Justin Hammer said to himself, seemingly ignoring the audience below who had begun to hurl insults.
Clearly, Iron Man is far more popular than Hammer Industries.
"It's unfair, it's wrong, and it's something I regret!" Justin Hammer continued, "But it's still a fantastic invention..."
Justin Hammer continued rambling on, trying to steer the conversation toward his product.
It has to be said that this person is quite skilled at public speaking; even Wu Chen wanted to continue listening to him and see what his product was.
Of course, Wu Chen had already guessed that Hammer Industries' new product was most likely the Iron Soldier.
The butterfly effect led the main villains Ivan Vanko and Justin Hammer to cooperate ahead of schedule, so it's not surprising that they created the Iron Soldiers ahead of time, right?
But then, will Tony's other friend, Colonel Rhodes, still have his Iron Patriot?
After thinking about it, Wu Chen felt that it had nothing to do with him, so he stopped thinking about it.
On stage, Justin Hammer finally got to the point, "Ladies and gentlemen! Today I will be introducing you to Hammer Industries' newest product, the new force of the United States military, Hammer Industries' Iron Soldiers!!"
As Justin Hammer finished speaking, the stage creaked and groaned, and then four rows of eight Iron Soldiers appeared!
Not only that, Justin Hammer also saluted the military personnel in the audience, and those Iron Soldiers saluted in unison.
The audience was completely shocked!
The audience below the stage cheered. They never expected that Hammer Industries, a company known for its low-quality products, could actually come up with something new.
And these new things seem so useful!
The cheers from the audience inspired Justin Hammer, who joined in the cheering.
Looking at the cheerful laughter, Wu Chen curled his lip in disdain.
Only he knew that these machines might soon attack everyone in the guild!
However, at this moment, these Iron Soldiers were all quite well-behaved and showed no signs of causing trouble.
When Wu Chen left the clubhouse, Justin Hammer was already packed with people, filled with laughter and exclamations of surprise.
At this point, Wu Chen could confirm that Ivan Vanko had indeed come to New York and joined Hammer Industries.
And he plans to take revenge on Iron Man tonight!
Although he knew this, Wu Chen did not intend to do anything.
The reason is simple: he couldn't explain his source of intelligence.
Tony will handle all of this, anyway.
After all, compared to Whiplash's imitation Iron Man Armor, Tony's Iron Man Armor is more than enough to defeat Whiplash.
Besides, isn't there still Wu Chen?
If all else fails, I'll show New York the power of Genin tonight!
Let Wu Chen enjoy the treatment of a superhero too!
