Even he had believed what Chen Mo said aboard Air Force One before. Could it really have all been a lie?
Where had his old man run off to again?
Tony Stark looked at President Ellis beside him, unable to shake the feeling that something was wrong.
But this was clearly not the time to think about that. He did not care about the president at all—Pepper was what mattered most to him!
Tony Stark immediately turned his gaze to Killian and said in a low voice,
"I've brought you the person you wanted. Release Pepper right now!"
Aldrich Killian sneered at that, looking at Tony Stark with utter disdain as he said coldly,
"Heh. Tony, you're still as naive as ever. Do you really think you'll be leaving here alive today?!"
The moment Killian finished speaking, he sprang into motion and lunged at Tony!
Killian hated Tony Stark to the bone. Today, he would defeat Stark with his own hands and wipe away the humiliation of the past!
As Tony Stark watched Killian charge at him with a ferocious expression, his eyes swept over Pepper despite his anger, and his face grew grave.
At that moment, the group of Extremis under Killian's command had Pepper surrounded. If he rushed in to save her directly, setting aside whether he could break through their defenses and reach her, even if he did get in, the people standing beside Pepper might immediately strike at her!
After a brief hesitation, Tony Stark had no choice but to abandon the idea of forcibly rescuing Pepper and turn to deal with Aldrich Killian as he charged toward him!
Since he could not rescue Pepper directly, he would capture Killian and trade him for her!
Tony immediately activated his suit's thrusters and charged straight at Killian!
