Ivan couldn't help muttering to himself.
Judging by Lin Yu's current attitude, this matter was probably far from over. His earlier worries had likely been unnecessary.
At that thought, a glimmer of anticipation rose in Ivan's eyes once more.
Meanwhile, Stark struggled to steady Mark 101's body, but Ivan's strength was simply too great. Under that relentless assault, even with Mark 101's performance enhanced by Stark and its overload mode activated, it was still starting to buckle.
What was more, Ivan's attacks carried a powerful electric current. Under its effects, the nanoparticles composing Mark 101 nearly malfunctioned and disengaged from combat armor mode.
