Peace Knights

On the highway, Iron Monger savagely pounded Iron Man's head with his fists. He laughed loudly. "Tony, thank you for laying that final golden egg for me. I'll use your golden egg to become the richest man in the world."

"Can't you aim any higher? As a villain, you're really a failure."

Dizzy and disoriented, Tony was as sharp-tongued as ever. At the same time, he quietly activated the device on his body, preparing to fly into the sky with Iron Monger. If he was right, Iron Monger probably had no anti-freezing measures.

Iron Monger snorted and missiles popped out from his back, ready to finish Tony off completely. At that moment, a black figure raced over from afar and crashed into Iron Monger with a boom, sending him flying and rolling across the ground.

The black figure was an imposing Battle Suit with a dove emblem on its chest. He looked disdainfully at Tony, who had fallen to the ground. "You're the worst Stark I've ever seen!"

"Who are you? Do I know you?"

Tony was deeply displeased. Then he noticed the Arc Reactor on the black Battle Suit's chest and cursed in exasperation, "Another thief."

"I didn't steal your stuff. Besides, my reactor is more advanced and more powerful than yours."

Howard snorted, taking the axe from his back as he prepared to chop down Obadiah, who was climbing back to his feet. That bald bastard actually dared to bully his son. He was asking for death.

At that moment, Trask's voice rang out in Howard's mind. "Say, have you forgotten what your job is?"

"Chopping Obadiah to death saves people too."

Howard muttered, then shouted at Obadiah and Tony, "We Peace Knights are here to save people. You two keep fighting. Don't mind us."

With that, Howard rushed to the bus and used his axe to slice open its side. Then, quite a few human-sized robots flew over from the distance and somewhat clumsily began rescuing the people inside.

Due to the limited time, these robots were very crude, consisting only of a skeleton covered by a layer of steel plating. Still, they were good enough.

"Peace Knights?"

Tony and Obadiah were both baffled. What the hell was this? Obadiah cursed furiously in his heart. If you were here to save people, why did you ram into me?

Obadiah hesitated briefly, then activated his machine guns and fired at Tony again. Tony immediately flew into the sky. This time, Obadiah took the bait. Thick smoke blasted from his feet as he rumbled after Tony.

Howard looked contemptuous. "That much black smoke, and you can tell at a glance it's a defective product."

At the same time, many robots charged into the battlefield, rescuing severely wounded soldiers on the ground and Contractors inside the building. Both sides were stunned by this.

One of the Black and White Armors looked like it wanted to do something, but then Trask, possessing a tall robot, coldly said to it, "We are pacifists. We're here specifically to save people."

After saying that, Trask raised his hand. A Laser shot from his index finger, carving a deep fissure into the ground.

The Black and White Armors were startled and very sensibly chose to ignore the robots, focusing instead on wiping out the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents and soldiers.

The Phantom Robots did not waste time and quickly moved the soldiers on the ground. Surprisingly, they did not evacuate every wounded person.

A wounded soldier shouted unhappily at a passing robot, "Why aren't you saving me? My leg is broken."

"Because you gave up on yourself."

Trask replied coldly, leading the robots as they transferred the Contractors to a safe location. Those who were rescued wept with joy. They had no idea what was happening, but they had been saved. That mattered more than anything.

While the robots bustled about, Wind Demon transformed into Fierce Wind and entered the burning building, rescuing several Contractors. It had to be said that his ability was truly useful.

"What's going on?"

Coulson looked utterly bewildered. A group of pacifists who had suddenly appeared to rescue people was strange enough, but these pacifists were actually selective about whom they saved. Was someone playing a prank?

"Strange as it is, it should be a good thing."

Coulson took out his communicator and asked quietly, "Rhodes, when will the fighter jets arrive?"

The voice of Colonel Rhodes, Iron Man's friend, came through the communicator. "They've already taken off. They'll be there soon."

"Good."

Coulson put down the communicator, his expression somewhat complicated. This time, he had underestimated the Battle Suits' strength. The world of the future would be the world of Iron Suits.

Trask reported to Wang Nanxuan, "Boss, five Raptor fighter jets will arrive in three minutes."

"Looks like this is ending. Get the Contractors somewhere safe as quickly as possible."

Wang Nanxuan nodded. America's fighter jets might not be able to handle Iron Monger and Iron Man, but dealing with the Black and White Armors would not be too difficult—they were far inferior to genuine Iron Suits in both performance and defense.

At that moment, the previously arrogant Black and White Armors suddenly all dropped to the ground. Electrical currents continuously surged from the Arc Reactors on their chests, instantly killing the drivers inside with the rampaging electricity.

Only one person was an exception: Iron Monger. Iron Man had taken him into the sky, and his entire body had frozen over, allowing him to narrowly avoid this disaster.

"Boss, this is bad. There's a problem with the Arc Reactors Obadiah made. They'll explode if they overheat."

Howard hurriedly reported to Wang Nanxuan, "The Arc Reactors contain enormous energy. Once they explode, everything nearby will be reduced to rubble."

Trask added, "They'll explode in thirty seconds at most."

Tony discovered this as well, but with only thirty seconds, there was no way he could take all the Black and White Armors away. He gritted his teeth and had Jarvis search for Pepper's location. Right now, all he could do was save Pepper.

Tony felt miserable and guilty. These people had all been dragged into this because of him.

"This is bad? Why do I think it's wonderful?"

Wang Nanxuan's eyes lit up. He immediately pulled most of the people around Stark Tower into the Illusion Realm—Tony Stark, Coulson, and those who had entered the Illusion Realm before were excluded. However, Pepper Potts was inside the Illusion Realm.

In the Illusion Realm, Wang Nanxuan explained that the Arc Reactors were about to explode, then said, "Two minutes. Sign the Contract, and I'll save you. Otherwise, die here."

It was worth mentioning that while two minutes passed here, only two seconds passed outside.

The people pulled in looked at one another. Since they could not speak, they could not discuss it and could only think it over on their own.

Pepper's eyes flickered, but she did not sign the Contract. The explosion of the Black and White Armors was no small matter. If this "god" before them wanted to save them, he had to take the Black and White Armors away. In other words, even without signing the Contract, they could still be safe—unless not a single person signed it.

But that was clearly impossible. People feared death, and this "god's" terms were highly tempting.

"No wonder he wouldn't let everyone talk."

Just as Pepper had expected, around five hundred people chose to sign the Contract. Wang Nanxuan made another huge profit.

"Obadiah really is a good man, giving me so many souls."

Wang Nanxuan whistled. The Harley motorcycle in the garage started on its own and roared out from underground to the entrance of Rebirth Tower. Wang Nanxuan jumped down from the building and landed squarely on the motorcycle.

Immediately afterward, pitch-black flames erupted from Wang Nanxuan's body and rapidly spread over the Harley motorcycle. The motorcycle swiftly transformed, like a savage giant beast roaring in rage.

Black Hellfire was a new flame Wang Nanxuan had evolved after devouring the Spirit of Vengeance. Its power far surpassed Johnny Blaze's red flames.
