The massive F4 racetrack was packed with spectators, a deafening sea of voices and countless heads surging like an anthill.
Anyone with trypophobia would have had an episode here.
Su Zheng raised one hand, holding up countless phones and metal tools above him.
He had no choice. The moment he "let go," everything in the sky would come crashing down.
Phones were expensive. He could not just let everyone suffer losses for no reason.
More and more people noticed Su Zheng.
However, beneath the shadow cast by the phones and metal objects blotting out the sky,
not a single person dared to come up and ask for an autograph at this time.
Instead, they all consciously made way for him.
In a venue packed with over ten thousand people, a broad avenue suddenly appeared!
Even Jean Grey and Raven did not follow him.
Because they knew this was Su Zheng's shining moment!
Jean Grey looked at Su Zheng and only felt that he was unbelievably handsome right now.
His brows and eyes radiated confidence and dominance, making it impossible to look away.
The sunlight on his refined profile revealed endless charm.
Standing tall and holding everything aloft with one hand, he looked like an ancient god carrying the sun toward an endless battlefield!
At that moment, Jean Grey felt that Su Zheng was the most handsome man in the world.
She could not help but feel a trace of gratitude that she had become Su Zheng's girlfriend.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Su Zheng slowly arrived before Ivan.
With a casual wave of his hand, he removed Ivan's crude armor.
The two electric whips in Ivan's hands, each seven or eight meters long, had also stopped glowing.
Ivan looked at Su Zheng, his expression somewhat complicated. "Su Zheng, sorry. I didn't know you were here."
"Next time, I'll kill Tony somewhere you aren't."
Su Zheng was a superhero, so it was only natural for him to stop Ivan.
Moreover, Ivan knew Su Zheng's ability: he could control magnetic fields.
As a mechanical scientist, there was no way Ivan could defeat Su Zheng.
He had no grudge against Su Zheng either.
Hearing that, Su Zheng directly rolled his eyes at Ivan.
If I'm not around, you can just kill people whenever you want?
Get the hell out of here!
As for Ivan,
although Su Zheng wanted to trigger Divine Choice through the plot, that did not mean he could not change the plot.
Later on, Ivan would join forces with Hammer Industries to attack Tony.
Su Zheng then walked over to Tony. Ivan followed as well, glaring furiously at Tony.
If looks could kill, Tony would have died countless times already.
Even though Tony was only a meter away from Ivan right now, close enough for Ivan to attack with a raised hand,
Ivan did not make a single move.
He knew that before Su Zheng, he had no chance whatsoever.
The instant he made a move, Su Zheng might kill him.
Tony looked at the fierce, hulking Ivan and felt somewhat wary and nervous!
That guy had nearly killed him just moments ago!
How could Tony not be afraid?
Although he really was about to die, he did not want to die at all.
Tony looked at Su Zheng and said, "Hurry up and let me go!"
Tony was currently strapped into the race car's driver's seat, because the ends of the advanced safety belt were made of metal.
A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Su Zheng's mouth. "Tony, how many times have I saved you now?"
Tony's expression became somewhat awkward. He had always believed that, after losing his parents as a child, he had never relied on anyone in his life.
Yet when facing Su Zheng, he felt a little flustered.
The time in the desert, this time, plus half of that time with Magneto.
Tony said, "I guess... two and a half times?"
Su Zheng rolled his eyes. There was such a thing as half a rescue?
Then he said, "So how are you going to repay me?"
Tony was not an ungrateful man.
"Tell me, what do you want? Even Stark Industries shares are fine."
If Su Zheng wanted them, Tony would give him half of his Stark Industries shares and give the other half to Pepper.
That would ensure they never had to worry about money for the rest of their lives.
Anyway, he was going to die. Shares would be useless to him.
Su Zheng said, "I don't need that. How about this? Help me build one hundred Iron Suits."
"Isn't that simple?"
Tony's eyes widened. What?
One hundred Iron Suits? He might as well ask for Tony's life!
He only had eight Iron Suits in total right now.
Where was he supposed to get more than a hundred?
Even if he built them himself, he did not have the time. He was already close to dying from the Palladium Virus.
Tony said, "Impossible! That's too many."
"I can't possibly finish building them."
However, Ivan spotted an opportunity. His eyes immediately lit up, and he cut in.
"As long as you stay out of the matter between Tony and me, Su Zheng, I'll build you one hundred and one Iron Suits!"
"How about it?"
He had originally wanted to offer even more, but one hundred was already far too many. Even he could only add one more!
Tony was immediately shocked! He abruptly turned to stare at Ivan.
What? Someone was actually competing with him?
Did Ivan think this was an auction? Was he placing bids?
Tony did not know why Ivan was doing this, but Ivan's goal was definitely to kill him.
Tony did not want to avoid being killed by the Palladium Virus only to be murdered by Ivan instead.
The Palladium Virus would probably take a year to kill him.
But Ivan wanted him dead tomorrow.
More importantly, Tony could not refuse to repay Su Zheng for saving his life.
But one hundred was simply too many.
Tony said, "How about this! I'll build fifty!"
"That's truly the most I can do."
With an assembly line, making fifty would be barely manageable.
Ivan could not sit still. With Su Zheng here, how could Ivan possibly kill Tony?
No, he had to raise the offer.
"I'll build one hundred and thirty. Su Zheng, don't interfere!"
One hundred and thirty would probably require him to work day and night for years!
Whatever. For revenge, he could do anything.
Tony glared fiercely at Ivan again. You're raising the price again? Can't you see Su Zheng is just sitting back and benefiting?
Su Zheng truly did not stop the two of them from bidding against each other. It benefited him, so why would he stop them?
Iron Suits were still useful to him. If they were loaded with weapons, it would be like having many more gun platforms.
And later on, Tony wore an Iron Suit to fight Thanos.
With Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and the others, they had nearly killed Thanos even when he possessed several Infinity Stones!
How could anyone say Iron Suits were weak?
Tony had no choice. With someone here driving up the price, he had to raise his offer too.
"One hundred, then!"
"But it'll take a long time!"
"Don't expect them to be finished anytime soon. And if there's some irresistible force..."
"Then there'll be nothing I can do!"
I'm about to die anyway. Why the hell would I build them?
How could I possibly build that many?
Su Zheng can't exactly come to hell and make me build Iron Suits for him.
I'll just handcraft a dozen or so powerful Iron Suits for him.
Perfect.
As expected of me, Tony. My IQ is still as high as ever.
Su Zheng looked at Tony's faintly mischievous smile and knew exactly what he was up to!
Tony merely thought he was about to die and could default on the debt.
Unfortunately!
The righteous may rise a foot, but the wicked rise ten.
Just watch me cure you and turn you into my worker.
Ivan wanted to raise his offer again, but Su Zheng stopped him. Magnetism surged around them, and an iron sheet flew onto Ivan's mouth, sealing it shut.
In Su Zheng's eyes, Ivan's Iron Suits were still slightly inferior to Tony's.
And later on, Tony's Iron Suits could utterly crush the ones Ivan built.
This tool had already fulfilled his purpose.
Su Zheng planned to lock him in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s prison. When the time came, he would specifically speak to Fury about it.
He would not give Ivan any chance to be rescued by someone else.
After Ivan was taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents,
Su Zheng waved his hand, and the phones in the sky slowly floated down.
They landed in everyone's hands.
As for whether the phones in their hands were actually their own, that was none of Su Zheng's business.
Su Zheng hooked one arm around Tony's neck and said,
"Come on, Tony. Today, I'll be merciful and save you one more time."
"From now on, you're my worker."
"I guess you'll spend the rest of your life building Iron Suits for me."
