Hearing this, Tony curled his lips into a smug smile, as though admiring the masterpiece he was about to unveil.
"Banner, your reminder was indeed timely and on point, but this time, you may need to adjust your expectations a little."
"Because I've already made arrangements and fully prepared for this unknown battle."
With a casual wave of his hand, a massive holographic display in one corner of the room seemed to awaken under an invisible force, slowly lighting up to reveal a three-dimensional model of New York City's underground sewer system.
The model was so detailed it was staggering. Every tiny stream of water was clearly visible, every maintenance hatch was marked with pinpoint accuracy, and even those ancient secret passages that had nearly been forgotten by the world had been perfectly reconstructed within it.
"I had J.A.R.V.I.S. hack into the official database overnight."
There was a trace of pride in Tony's voice.
"I obtained every blueprint and map New York has produced over the years for sewer construction, maintenance, and renovation. Not only that, J.A.R.V.I.S. also analyzed water flow speeds, changes in water levels, and possible hidden spaces based on historical data and real-time monitoring, then drew up a map for us."
The holographic model kept rotating and zooming, revealing astonishing detail.
"Look here."
Tony pointed to an area on the model marked by several unusually dense red dots. "According to J.A.R.V.I.S.'s algorithmic predictions, these red-dot areas are the most likely vampire hideouts. They chose these locations because they allow for rapid relocation while also using the complex pipe structure as a natural barrier."
"Alright."
Banner stared at the holographic model, unable to stop a wave of emotion from rising within him.
He had not expected that, during the years he had hidden away in Brazil, the world
