Chapter Summaries

Chen Mo equipped and trained Wakanda’s elite warriors for a continent-wide campaign, then launched their stealth-fighter operation to eliminate African warlords. By dawn, more than half of the warlords had been killed, and a panicked CIA subordinate reported the crisis to his superior.

• Chen Mo ordered the Jabari warriors and other selected Wakandan elites to wear Shuri’s combat suits, carry Vibranium spears, and use Kimo-by-yu communication devices.

• Wakandan teams infiltrated warlord strongholds and killed hundreds of targets, completing more than half of their mission by dawn.
• A young CIA subordinate rushed into his superior’s office and reported that something terrible had happened in Africa.

After hundreds of African warlords were assassinated, intelligence agencies worldwide scrambled to investigate the silent, nearly invisible aircraft seen near the attacks. Chen Mo received reports that foreign forces had set traps around several remaining warlords, forcing Wakanda to reconsider how to proceed.

• Chen Mo received reports from more than a dozen Wakandan teams about the traps around the remaining warlords.

Chen Mo sent M'Baku, T'Challa, T'Chaka, and Zuri to attack separate warlord targets. At one target, a mysterious armored fighter arrived and destroyed the special forces’ rooftop cameras with a long-range attack from his spear.

• Chen Mo ordered M'Baku, T'Challa, T'Chaka, and Zuri to take the stage against the warlords.
• Three Wakandan stealth aircraft carried the fighters toward separate targets, with Zuri paired with T'Chaka because he lacked Heart-shaped herb enhancement.
• A special operations squad guarding a warlord spotted a towering, masked figure arrive on the rooftop and prepared its corridor ambush.
• The mysterious fighter aimed his silver spear at a rooftop camera and destroyed it with a ripple of force.
• The surveillance soldier reported that all rooftop cameras were down and that the spear could attack at range, so the captain ordered the squad to monitor interior feeds and stay alert.

M'Baku infiltrated a warlord's quarters by blasting through the floors and killed him with his Vibranium spear. When special forces surrounded him, M'Baku leaped back through the ceiling and escaped their sight.

• M'Baku destroyed the rooftop cameras and used his Sonic Cannon to blast through the floors toward the warlord's room.

After taking the Heart-shaped herb, Chen Mo's physical strength and mental power surged, expanding his storage space and strengthening his strategic options. He returned to the Martial Arts School, then prepared to leave while government and factional observers continued monitoring the building without learning his true movements.

• The Heart-shaped herb raised Chen Mo's physical abilities and more than doubled his overall strength, while its effect on his mental power expanded his storage space from five meters per side to ten.

• Chen Mo considered Wang Jin’s loyalty, strength, and potential, and thought he could become a reserve candidate for the Strategic Response Team.

Wang Jin told Chen Mo about his shelved concept car, which was designed for both extreme speed and strong off-road performance. Chen Mo brought Wang Jin to Tony Stark’s villa, where they found Tony and Dr. Ethan working in the laboratory.

• Wang Jin described his 1,000-horsepower supercar and explained that his more capable off-road concept car had been shelved because current automotive technology could not build it.
• Chen Mo said nothing about the concept car’s technical limits and drove with Wang Jin to Tony Stark’s seaside villa.
• Chen Mo used his authority with J.A.R.V.I.S. to enter the garage and took Wang Jin to see Tony’s research.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. told Chen Mo that Tony was experimenting with Dr. Ethan in the laboratory, so Chen Mo went there without notifying them.
• Chen Mo and Wang Jin entered the laboratory, where Tony and Dr. Ethan were working beside a tall steel structure, and Tony hurried over to greet his father.

Tony Stark tried to challenge Wang Jin to a sparring match while wearing his new Iron Man suit, but Chen Mo intervened and offered to fight him instead. Tony backed down and spotted a steel structure in the laboratory, seizing on it to change the subject.

• Tony Stark landed and watched Chen Mo anxiously, hoping the demonstration had spared him a reprimand.
• Chen Mo glared at Tony and told him to act like Wang Jin’s elder by protecting and caring for him instead of teasing and bullying him.

After Tony Stark apologized for teasing Wang Jin, Chen Mo tasked Tony with helping build Wang Jin’s advanced war vehicle, while Chen Mo studied the Mark III.
