Chapter Summaries

Chen Mo prepared the S.H.I.E.L.D. Group’s global expansion through cinemas, rising Holographic Smartphone sales, and plans to launch Portable Holographic Projection Devices alongside the 3D Film. After Su Wan reported on company projects, Chen Mo gave Bradley three mysterious silver steel balls and asked him to throw them onto the table.

• The S.H.I.E.L.D. Group neared completion of more than ten thousand cinemas worldwide, which would also sell its products and host S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto showrooms.
• Chen Mo planned to use Holographic Smartphones as the main product for entering international markets and told Su Wan to increase production and stockpiles before the film premiered.
• Chen Mo decided that S.H.I.E.L.D. Technology would release Portable Holographic Projection Devices only after the 3D Holographic Film debuted.
• After Su Wan reported on company projects, Chen Mo handed Bradley three silver steel balls from his storage space.
• Bradley sensed the devices inside the balls, and Chen Mo told him to throw them onto the table.

Chen Mo introduced AIM’s miniature holographic projection device for production, then tested his upgraded Iron Man suit over the Nevada Mountains. He reached Mach 12, confirming the suit’s maximum speed.

• Chen Mo showed Bradley and Su Wan the steel-ball holographic projector and gave Bradley access to its designs for high-end production.
• Chen Mo rested peacefully overnight and woke to find spring had returned to the estate.
• Chen Mo flew out of the Castle in his cloaked Iron Man suit to test its upgraded speed and explore the nearby mountains.
• Chen Mo flew east to the Nevada Mountains, then accelerated north until the suit reached Mach 12.

After testing the Iron Man suit’s speed at Mach 14, Chen Mo flew back toward Castle and spotted a failing helicopter. He caught it and stopped its fall, leaving the passengers suspended upside down and wondering what had saved them.

• Chen Mo used a telekinetic shield to push the Iron Man suit’s speed to Mach 14, then turned back toward Castle at subsonic speed.
• Chen Mo noticed a black S76 helicopter billowing smoke as its rotors slowed and it plunged toward a valley.
• Chen Mo teleported above the helicopter, caught its tail, and used the suit’s thrusters to halt its descent.
• The passengers realized the helicopter was still powerless and hanging upside down in midair.
• A girl told her father that something seemed to have caught the helicopter.

Chen Mo secretly stopped a failing helicopter and set it down, but an engine explosion trapped the passengers inside as fire spread. He chose to reveal the Iron Man suit to rescue them, while keeping its invisibility ability hidden.

• Chen Mo caught the falling helicopter and slowly lowered it into a valley, where its shaken passengers survived the landing.
• After Chen Mo released the aircraft, its engine exploded, the helicopter caught fire, and flames spread through the surrounding brush.
• Chen Mo discovered that the explosion had jammed the cabin door, trapping the passengers inside the burning helicopter.
• Chen Mo decided that saving the passengers mattered more than keeping the Iron Man suit secret, but he deactivated its invisibility to conceal that ability.

Chen Mo rescued Kobe, his daughter Gianna, and the other passengers from a burning helicopter using his Iron Man suit. After everyone reached safety, he let the fuel tank ignite, causing a powerful explosion behind them.

• The cabin door jammed as flames spread around the helicopter, trapping the passengers inside.
• Chen Mo arrived in his black Iron Man suit, tore off the door, and flew into the cabin to rescue the passengers.
• Chen Mo carried Kobe and his daughter Gianna out first, then returned to save the remaining passengers.
• Chen Mo rescued all nine people, including the pilot, and warned them to move away from the burning helicopter.
• After everyone reached a safe distance, Chen Mo released the barrier around the fuel tank, and the helicopter exploded.

Chen Mo rescued Kobe and eight others from a burning helicopter, then returned to Castle and learned that the rescue had become a worldwide news story. As the public debated whether Iron Man was real, the FBI connected the incident to earlier suspected Deadpool cases.

• Chen Mo left the crash site after rescuing Kobe, Anlina, and the others from the helicopter.
• Chen Mo flew back to Castle in disguise, put away the Iron Man suit, and considered that its existence might now be public.
• Television reports revealed that Iron Man had saved Kobe and everyone aboard the crashed helicopter, prompting disbelief and debate.
• Kobe confirmed the rescue in an interview, while the FBI began investigating the incident.
• George reviewed the case and recalled two earlier incidents suspected of involving Deadpool.

After Kobe's helicopter crashed and its passengers reported being rescued by a black-suited Iron Man, FBI agent David investigated the wreckage. He found what looked like palm-shaped dents on the helicopter's tail, suggesting the rescue might have been real.

• Director George assigned David to investigate Kobe's helicopter crash and determine whether Iron Man existed.
• David read the survivors' accounts, which said Iron Man caught the falling helicopter, freed the passengers from the burning wreck, and carried them to safety.
• David suspected the black Iron Man was connected to the earlier Deadpool case and launched an investigation.
• David went to the crash site and found two palm-shaped dents on the helicopter's relatively intact tail fin.

David examined the helicopter wreckage and concluded that someone had torn off its cabin door by hand, strengthening his belief that Iron Man might be real. He left the crash site with a lead to pursue: organizations researching exoskeleton armor.

• David found the helicopter door more than ten meters from the wreckage and had his agents move it aside.
• David examined the door’s handprint and matching metal distortions, concluding that someone had torn it off by hand.
• David suspected Iron Man wore an advanced exoskeleton, though he could not explain how the figure had caught the falling helicopter.
• David ordered his agents to investigate every organization researching exoskeleton armor, including the military where possible.
• David arranged for agents to interview the nine witnesses again and personally questioned Kobe.

After witnesses described the person who saved them from a helicopter crash, David’s team produced a sketch resembling a black Iron Man suit. David recognized it as similar to the armor worn by Wade in footage of an attack on a S.H.I.E.L.D. Group film crew and went to investigate him.

• David’s investigation found no laboratory armor capable of matching the suit described by the helicopter survivors.
• An agent showed David a suspect sketch that looked like black Iron Man armor, and David angrily accused his team of copying a movie image.
• The agent insisted the sketch matched the survivors’ descriptions, prompting David to recall an earlier attack on a S.H.I.E.L.D. Group film crew.
• David watched footage of Wade fighting in black armor, sent it to the nine witnesses for identification, and ordered his team to find the crew.
• David learned more about the armor and became suspicious of Wade’s strength and agility before arriving at the film crew as Wade was filming in the suit.

FBI agent David questioned An Ran and the crew about a helicopter rescue, then focused his suspicions on Wade and asked to inspect his armor. Wade realized the agents were mistaking him for Chen Mo and accepted that he was taking the fall for his boss.

• David questioned An Ran and the crew, who confirmed Wade had stayed on set wearing his armor while the helicopter crashed.
• David suspected Wade could have slipped away to rescue the helicopter and returned before anyone noticed.
• David asked An Ran to let him inspect Wade's armor, and she called Wade over.
• Wade recognized the FBI's suspicions were really about Chen Mo and privately dismissed his own armor as far inferior to Chen Mo's Iron Man suit.
• Wade approached David and deliberately used his imposing presence to intimidate the agents, while David noted that Wade's height matched the witness description.

FBI agent David investigated Wade and his alloy armored combat suit, but found only ordinary armor despite Wade’s effortless movements in it. David’s suspicions remained as he wondered how Wade could move so easily while wearing the heavy suit.

• David asked Wade to remove his armor for inspection, but Wade refused until An Ran offered him an hour’s rest from filming.
• Wade let staff help him remove the armor while David and several agents watched.
• David saw that Wade’s build was just as tall and muscular without the suit as it had been inside it.
• David inspected the armor and found it was heavy, ordinary alloy with no powered movement or flight systems.
• David remained suspicious because Wade had moved freely in armor weighing dozens of kilograms.

David connected the helicopter rescue, the library shooting, and the Los Angeles Mafia purge as possible work by superheroes, then found no new leads despite reviewing the cases. After clearing Wade, David revisited his file when the investigation stalled again.

• An Ran explained Wade’s strength by comparing Chinese kung fu to Bruce Lee, and David’s agent confirmed Bruce Lee’s reported punching power.
• David reconsidered whether the helicopter rescuer had used an armored suit or extraordinary physical strength, then linked the rescue to the library shooting.
• David connected the library attacker and the suspected Deadpool behind the Mafia purge through their superhuman abilities and actions against evildoers, and ordered his team back to review the cases.
• David and his agents reviewed the two earlier case files but found no additional clues connecting them to the helicopter rescue.
• Days of investigation produced no leads, and David revisited Wade’s file after learning that no personal flight device could have caught the falling helicopter.

David suspected S.H.I.E.L.D. Group was connected to the armored figure who rescued the helicopter, so he led FBI agents to investigate the company. Su Wan received him at the company, where he prepared to question her about the case.

• David noticed S.H.I.E.L.D. Group appeared repeatedly in the case file and suspected its chairman's bodyguards and advanced technology were connected to the rescue.
• David compared the crash site with S.H.I.E.L.D. Group's location, then investigated its research and purchases but found no evidence of armor development.
• David took his agents to S.H.I.E.L.D. Group, where armed security stopped them at the gate and checked his credentials.
• Su Wan allowed the FBI agents inside and had them escorted to a reception room.
• David met Su Wan and reflected on how she had risen from the president's assistant to president of S.H.I.E.L.D. Group.

David questioned Su Wan about whether S.H.I.E.L.D. Group had developed Iron Man-like exoskeleton armor after an armored figure rescued Kobe and the other helicopter-crash survivors. Su Wan denied the company was capable of building such technology, leaving David mostly convinced that S.H.I.E.L.D. Group was uninvolved.

• David met with Su Wan and asked whether S.H.I.E.L.D. Group was researching individual exoskeleton armor.
• Su Wan denied that the company was developing exoskeleton armor and said its products and projects were listed on its website.
• Su Wan realized David was investigating the Iron Man who had rescued Kobe and the other helicopter-crash survivors.
• David explained that the armor’s capabilities seemed far beyond current technology and asked whether S.H.I.E.L.D. Group could have made it.
• Su Wan said the company’s technology was only several years ahead of the state of the art and argued it would publicize any profitable armor rather than hide it.
• David largely accepted Su Wan’s explanation, and Su Wan remarked that their boss was not Tony Stark.

David investigated whether the S.H.I.E.L.D. Group was behind the Iron Man rescues, but his theories led him away from the truth: Chen Mo had brought the suit back from a movie world. Chen Mo monitored David’s investigation and considered recruiting him into HYDRA.

• Su Wan convinced David that the S.H.I.E.L.D. Group was unlikely to have developed an Iron Man suit, and David began questioning whether Iron Man existed.
• David theorized that a robot or larger aircraft might have rescued Kobe and suspected that an organization had staged the incident to make Iron Man seem real.
• David left the S.H.I.E.L.D. Group with his team and began another investigation while J.A.R.V.I.S. continued monitoring him.
• Chen Mo knew about David’s suspicions and put off wearing the Iron Man suit to fight crime so David would not face more pressure.
• Chen Mo recalled David’s work and character and considered recruiting him into HYDRA.

Chen Mo prepared David for a possible HYDRA recruitment while S.H.I.E.L.D. Film Company finished The Dark Knight and readied its global holographic cinema rollout. One day before the film’s release, S.H.I.E.L.D. Technology began selling portable holographic projectors in three versions, with the launch countdown nearly over.

• Chen Mo asked Hill to investigate David and assess whether he qualified for HYDRA recruitment.
• An Ran’s crew finished filming The Dark Knight, and J.A.R.V.I.S. was set to complete post-production in less than a week.
• S.H.I.E.L.D. Film Company promoted The Dark Knight as more than ten thousand holographic cinemas and experience sales centers prepared to open.
• Chen Mo kept projector sales on hold until the day before the film’s release, despite eager customers and ample inventory.
• S.H.I.E.L.D. Technology put three portable projector versions on sale, ranging from a $1,000 Standard Edition to a $100,000 Premium Edition.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Group released a powerful Portable Holographic Projection Device alongside its holographic film premiere, prompting a surge in device orders and movie-ticket reservations. At a Los Angeles cinema, a blond teenager revealed his Holographic Smartphone and projection device to three curious friends.

• S.H.I.E.L.D. Group released the Portable Holographic Projection Device, which S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto owners could buy for one million dollars.
• Customers placed a flood of orders for holographic phones and projection devices, and intelligent drones delivered many purchases across the United States before the film premiered.
• Users tested the devices' glasses-free 3D holograms while moviegoers around the world reserved tickets for the film.
• Four teenagers waited at a Los Angeles S.H.I.E.L.D. Cinema, where a bespectacled boy said the trailer he watched on a computer seemed ordinary.
• The blond boy took out a Holographic Smartphone and a small projection device, surprising his three friends.

Four boys experienced a portable holographic projection device and entered a theater to watch a 3D holographic film. The screening began with a giant golden Nine-Headed Dragon emblem appearing above the audience.

• The blond boy showed his friends a holographic trailer for The Dark Knight, astonishing them with its lifelike miniature city and characters.
• When ticket checking began, the blond boy gathered his friends and led them into Theater Seven to watch the film.
• The four boys observed the theater’s semicircular seating and spacious projection area, designed to provide clear holographic images from every angle.
• The theater darkened, and a curtain of light expanded into a huge rotating golden Nine-Headed Dragon emblem, the symbol of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Group.

The audience watched a highly realistic 3D holographic film that followed a black-armored, dual-bladed figure into a room full of gangsters. The figure slaughtered them while the holographic bullets and violence seemed to spill into the audience.

• The film opened with a giant S.H.I.E.L.D. Group emblem dissolving into golden light before revealing a realistic city at night.
• The viewpoint followed a passenger plane toward the city, then moved above a deserted street where a black-armored figure leaped across rooftops.
• The black-armored figure smashed through a window into a room of gangsters, startling them and the audience.
• The figure drew his twin blades and killed the gangsters as they fired at him, with holographic bullets passing over the audience.
• The black-armored figure stood amid the bodies as blood dripped from his blades.

The Dark Knight, the world's first 3D Holographic Film, became an overnight sensation as audiences praised its immersive realism and tickets sold out. Chen Mo’s products also saw a surge in sales, while S.H.I.E.L.D. Group prepared to expand worldwide through an intelligent logistics network.

• The theater audience watched The Dark Knight, became immersed in its lifelike scenes, and enthusiastically praised the film after it ended.
• Theatergoers and online viewers rushed to buy tickets or rewatch the film, but screenings for the coming week quickly sold out.
• The film and 3D Holographic Film trended across major platforms, drawing widespread attention to S.H.I.E.L.D. Group.
