A Difficult Choice

Two heavy-duty explosion-proof doors, more than one meter apart, form a compartment. Both doors can only be opened from the inside. When entering or exiting, one must first stop in the compartment and wait for the first door to close before opening the other.

Two mercenaries struggled to open the first inner hatch. After they went inside, another mercenary behind the door closed it. Only then did the two men inside the compartment step forward to open the second outer hatch.

Tony Stark's heart sank at the sight; it seemed that the idea of breaking in while they were going in and out of the door was not feasible.

Just as the two mercenaries opened the last blast door, Justin Hammer suddenly brandished the pistol still pointed at Sharon Rogers and gave an order to Tony Stark.

"Now, get out of that suit and come to the window!"

"You can get a closer look at your child."

Justin Hammer said, a smug smile creeping onto his lips. It felt really good to be able to order Tony Stark around so casually. It's a pity he'll never have that chance again.

Tony Stark gave the smug Justin Hammer a deep look, then without a word, he stepped forward as instructed and stopped a meter away from the bulletproof glass window. His sharp eyes stared directly at Justin Hammer behind the glass, and the intense gaze made Justin Hammer feel a pang of guilt, his eyes involuntarily darting away.

However, Justin Hammer, feeling that he had lost in terms of momentum to Tony Stark, quickly turned to Tony again, his eyes unwavering.

You're about to die, what right do you have to be arrogant in front of me? You'll never have the chance to overpower me again!

Just as the two mercenaries opened the iron gate and were about to come out, Chen Mo's voice suddenly came through Tony Stark's communicator.

"Tony! Activate the combat suit, cover your entire body!"

Upon receiving Chen Mo's warning, Tony Stark didn't think twice and immediately activated his combat suit as Chen Mo instructed, covering his head as well.

Just as he finished doing all that and turned to look at the two mercenaries who came out of the door, he found that the two men did not walk towards the Iron Man suit, but instead raised their automatic rifles and pointed them at him.

Tony Stark's eyes narrowed upon seeing this; he hadn't expected Justin Hammer to want to kill him!

Fortunately, Chen Mo reminded him in time. Otherwise, if they had shot him directly in the head while his attention was being drawn to Justin Hammer, he wouldn't have had time to react and they might have succeeded.

That was close!

However, this also served as a reminder to Tony Stark that even with Nanotech Combat Suit, he could not rest easy and had to remain vigilant at all times, never letting his guard down!

Just as Tony Stark was reflecting on his actions, two mercenaries aimed at him and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Two automatic rifles simultaneously unleashed a hail of bullets at him, most of which struck his body, with a few hitting his head, leaving Tony Stark terrified.

However, now that the Nanotech Combat Suit covers his entire body, the power of these rifle bullets cannot cause him any harm at all. The areas on the surface of the suit that were hit by the bullets lit up with patches of purple light. All the energy was absorbed by the suit, and Tony Stark inside felt almost nothing.

The gunfire quickly stopped, and the two mercenaries, who had been so confident, were dumbfounded when they saw Tony Stark, who was covered in a black bodysuit and unharmed from their attacks.

Behind the bulletproof glass, Justin Hammer witnessed the entire process. Before the two attacked, Tony Stark seemed to have known in advance, as his head was suddenly covered by a material that looked like the black bodysuit he was wearing.

Before Justin Hammer could react to what was happening, a hail of bullets struck Tony Stark precisely, but the strange material that suddenly appeared and covered his head blocked all the bullets.

Apart from flashes of purple light, it did not cause any damage to Tony Stark!

"This! This is..."

A deep sense of defeat welled up in Justin Hammer's heart once again. In such a hopeless situation, he still couldn't kill Tony Stark. Was he destined to lose to him forever?!

I'm not reconciled!!

Justin Hammer, his eyes bloodshot, snapped back to reality and brandished his pistol, yelling angrily at Tony Stark across the bulletproof glass.

"Take off this outfit too!!"

"Otherwise, I'll shoot her right now!"

I'll only give you three seconds!

Tony Stark's expression changed upon hearing this. Without a doubt, if he really did take off his Nanotech Combat Suit as Justin Hammer said, the two mercenaries who were cautiously walking towards him with guns would pull the trigger without hesitation and kill him.

But if she doesn't take her clothes off, judging from Justin Hammer, he might actually shoot Sharon. Even if he doesn't kill her outright, he'll certainly cause her significant harm.

Just as Tony Stark was caught in a dilemma, two mercenaries arrived at his side.

"One!"

Sharon Rogers felt a surge of fear as she had a gun pointed at her, but when she looked at Tony Stark behind the glass, she shook her head frantically.

"No, please! He'll kill you!"

Although her mouth was gagged, Tony Stark still managed to read what she was trying to say from her eyes.

"That silly girl!"

Seeing Sharon's eyes brimming with tears, yet still desperately shaking her head at him, Tony Stark's eyes flashed with determination. He immediately decided to remove his combat suit and fight to the death, relying on his own strength to engage the two mercenaries in "hand-to-hand combat."

I am, after all, the son of the "Commander." Even if I've only learned the basics of combat, I'm not someone who can be easily manipulated!

Even without the Iron Man suit and the Nanotech Combat Suit, I can still do it!

"Two!"

Just as Justin Hammer uttered his second, Tony Stark prepared to remove his combat suit for a desperate last stand, a beam of silver light suddenly shot through the wall from the other side of the room, instantly piercing Justin Hammer's wrist as he held the gun, and then shooting into the opposite wall.

With a soft "whoosh!" sound, Tony Stark saw a nearly ten-centimeter-long silver blade emerge from the steel wall next to the window, gleaming coldly under the light!
