Tony Stark is Missing

"Saitama, Tony Stark is missing." Skye ran excitedly in front of Saitama.

"Oh!" Saitama responded blandly.

"Uh, why are you reacting like that? I mean, Tony Stark was attacked and went missing."

"Huh? What does his disappearance have to do with me? How am I supposed to react?" Saitama blinked.

"Uh, our first big score came from Tony Stark's business card. So, it's sort of related, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey? Is it that Tony Stark?" Saitama's eyes widened.

"That's right, it's him. He's really unlucky to be attacked and go missing. I wonder who captured him. But I think it must be some terrorists. I wonder if they'll extort Stark Industries for a large sum of money. After all, he's Tony Stark. Even just a business card was so valuable, a living person would definitely be worth more." Skye couldn't help but sigh.

"Valuable?" Saitama blinked.

"Of course, he's the boss of Stark Industries. You can't say he's the richest man in the world, but he's definitely one of the wealthiest people on Earth. I wonder if he can survive. Tsk tsk tsk."

"One of the wealthiest people on Earth?" Saitama's eyes grew wider.

"That's right. But it has nothing to do with us. We're just a bunch of poor people."

"Hey, hey, hey, if we rescue Tony Stark, will we get a lot of money?" Saitama's eyes lit up. When it came to money, Saitama could be quite persistent at times.

"Hmm, if Tony Stark could be rescued, I think he wouldn't even bat an eye if we asked him for One Hundred Million Dollars. Saitama, you're not thinking of going to save him, are you?" Skye suddenly froze and immediately turned to look at Saitama, whose eyes were shining.

"For a hero, isn't saving people normal?" Saitama replied with a serious face.

"...That's true. However, there are many, many people in this world who want to save Tony Stark because he's so valuable. But saving someone isn't that easy. Tony Stark went missing in the Middle East, and the Middle East is so vast and desolate, filled with terrorists everywhere. Finding him would be harder than climbing to heaven." Skye shook her head, thinking that finding Tony Stark was not an easy task at all. In her opinion, most people wouldn't even find him, and might even become the ones needing rescue themselves.

"Well, perhaps it's not that difficult." Saitama thought for a moment and said, shaking his head.

"Not that difficult? You-- Uh, alright. Do you have any other special abilities?" Skye was initially against it, but then she thought of Saitama's miraculous feats and her spirits lifted. Perhaps Saitama had other skills she didn't know about. If Saitama had a unique ability in finding people, maybe he could really find Tony Stark.

"Other special abilities?" Saitama frowned, thinking hard. After a moment, he shook his head, "No."

Skye couldn't help but roll her eyes, "If you don't, then forget it. While I admit your strength is good, the situation there is completely different."

"Different?" Saitama was a little confused.

"Of course, very different. Although you can fight crime all over New York, and even provoked Kingpin. Okay, Kingpin seems to have been scared off by you guys. But the situation in the Middle East is completely different. It's very chaotic. You might walk for a day and a night without seeing a single person. If you don't have enough food, you might starve to death. At the same time, the terrorists there are particularly formidable. They won't just use some low-power firearms like the people in New York; they even launch missiles. It's said that the convoy escorting Tony Stark was attacked by missiles." Skye described vividly.

"Terrorists? Missiles? It sounds… quite formidable." Saitama asked blankly.

"Of course, extremely formidable. So, you should just stay in New York." Skye shook her head.

"No, I want to go to the Middle East." Saitama said with shining eyes.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. While rescuing Tony Stark would indeed get us a lot of money, you can't risk your life for it." Skye quickly said.

"No, I want to go to the Middle East because there are very powerful terrorists there. I wonder if I can have a good fight with them." Saitama clenched his fists, his face full of joy and excitement.

"..." Skye looked at Saitama speechlessly, thinking his head was a bit abnormal. He actually wanted to have a good fight with terrorists? As expected, Saitama must have escaped from a mental hospital.

"Hey, Skye. Where is the Middle East? How far is it from here?" Saitama, ignoring Skye's thoughts, excitedly asked on his own.

"You really want to go to the Middle East?" Skye was exasperated, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course. I haven't had a good fight in a long time. Every time I encounter a monster, it's just a matter of one punch. Since coming to New York, I haven't even met a slightly strong monster. It's really too boring." Saitama earnestly expressed his suffering.

"Heh." Skye gave a dry laugh and rolled her eyes, not taking Saitama's words seriously at all.

Perhaps Saitama's strength was good, and he even teamed up with Daredevil to make Kingpin retreat. But Kingpin was completely different from terrorists.

In Skye's opinion, Kingpin, as a mafia boss, was just a gangster, not on the same level as terrorists. Well, that was many people's thinking, and in fact, if this wasn't the Marvel world, that thought wouldn't be wrong at all.

"Skye, tell me where the Middle East is. I'll be back very soon." Saitama pleaded with Skye.

"Alright, since you want to know where the Middle East is, no problem. I'll find you a map." Skye didn't think Saitama could actually go to the Middle East. Going to the Middle East would at least require a passport, plane tickets, and so on, which was quite cumbersome. With Saitama's demeanor and his not-so-full wallet, it was impossible for him to go to the Middle East.

Skye found a map and pointed, "This is America, and this is New York, where we are now. As for the Middle East, hmm, Tony Stark went missing around here. That means, if you want to go save him, you first have to leave New York, leave America, then cross this Atlantic Ocean, and then head here."

"Hmm, it doesn't seem very close." Saitama pinched his chin and gestured on the map. He had traveled all over New York and was familiar with its geography. He compared the size of New York on the map with the distance from New York to the Middle East.

Seeing Saitama's serious expression, Skye couldn't help but roll her eyes.
