Rewards: Hulk's Indestructible Underwear!

In the Sahara Desert, at a Ten Rings camp.

The blazing sun hung high in the sky, while the endless sand remained unchanged through the ages.

There were already dozens of fully armed soldiers here. Dressed in black combat uniforms and carrying M4A1s, they searched tirelessly for something.

Ten Rings corpses lay everywhere. Some had been blown to pieces by bombs, while others simply lay peacefully on the ground.

A black Hummer sped over.

A bald man stepped out.

He wore a custom-made dark gray suit, and his entire body radiated a powerful presence.

Stane's face was filled with fury. He had hired the Ten Rings to kill Tony, yet they had failed to kill him immediately and had even allowed him to build the Jericho Missile.

In the end, they had actually let Tony escape.

What a bunch of useless trash.

They had wasted a huge amount of his money.

He had brought people here to see exactly what had happened.

How could a group of soldiers let a scientist with no fighting ability escape?

A man in a black combat uniform walked over.

Stane asked, "How is it? Are there any survivors?"

Dale shook his head. "Everyone is dead. Not a single one is alive."

"The strange thing is, we can't find any corpses other than those of the Ten Rings."

"We don't know who killed them."

A trace of shock appeared on Stane's fleshy face. "Could ghosts have killed them?"

"More than two hundred people, and they didn't kill a single enemy?"

"Is that possible?"

Dale said, "Every Ten Rings corpse had at least seven or eight bullets in it."

"It looked like they had encountered a large number of enemies."

Stane continued, "But there isn't a single enemy corpse???"

Although Dale found it hard to believe, that was indeed the case.

The wounds on the corpses and the bullets extracted from them could not be faked.

Dale said, "Actually, I have a guess."

"They may have killed each other."

"Because the bullets in their bodies were supplied by us. They were using their own ammunition."

Stane said in surprise, "So they didn't encounter a large number of enemies. They simply started killing each other."

"And they killed each other that viciously, wiping out every single person on both sides."

"Fuck, what a bunch of useless trash."

"Not only did they fail to complete my mission, they got themselves killed."

Dale continued, "But we found some iron fragments nearby. After putting them together, they formed an Iron Suit."

Stane's eyes lit up. "Take me there immediately."

The two of them then entered the cave.

Bright lights illuminated the entire cave.

At the very center stood the Iron Suit Tony had built.

The Iron Suit, which had been blown into pieces by the explosion, had now been reassembled.

A wooden frame supported the entire Iron Suit. Its surface gave off a cold metallic gleam, while every piece of metal bore black scorch marks from the explosion.

Even so, the Iron Suit still carried the feeling of futuristic science fiction.

Stane said, "Tony built this?"

Tony had always been an exceptional scientist, so it was no surprise that he could create something like this.

But how had the people outside died? Could Tony have escaped in this Iron Suit while the Ten Rings were fighting among themselves?

That was very possible.

With a trace of amazement in his eyes, Dale said, "The technological level of this Iron Suit is extremely high."

"We can replicate it and build an even stronger one."

Stane's eyes brightened.

He would wear an upgraded Iron Suit and kill Tony himself.

It would not stay hidden for long that he had orchestrated Tony's kidnapping. Sooner or later, Tony would discover it.

Since that was the case, he might as well strike first.

As long as he killed Tony and took control of all Stark Industries, everything would be easy.

He could even claim that Tony had committed suicide. He had plenty of money; all he needed to do was bribe the police.

Stane said, "Take this Iron Suit away."

"We're going to build an even stronger Iron Suit!"

"Tony is as good as dead."

Dale said, "Tony was able to escape this time with help from Ethan and Su Zheng."

Without hesitation, Stane said, "Kill those two as well when the time comes."

They were merely two people with no fighting ability, and they had ruined his plans. They deserved to die.

Some time later.

New York, United States.

In his rented apartment, Su Zheng stared at the computer screen as Stark Industries stock rose like crazy.

His heart pounded wildly.

Once he saw that the stock had reached its peak, he sold all the shares in his hands without hesitation.

During this time, Tony had unveiled the Arc Reactor, a device capable of steadily providing enormous amounts of energy.

The moment it was released, Stark Industries stock surged dramatically.

Su Zheng checked the balance on his card.

There was more than nineteen million dollars in total.

It had increased sixfold!

This felt amazing!

He had now achieved financial freedom.

Su Zheng was just thinking about opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

At that moment, Tony called.

"Hello! Tony, what do you need from me?"

Tony had helped him make a fortune, so Su Zheng had a favorable impression of him now.

After all, Tony had provided his initial capital as well.

"Su Zheng, I need your help."

"Pepper is in danger. She's at Stane's factory. Stane is the mastermind behind my kidnapping."

Su Zheng naturally knew that, but had the plot already reached this point?

The plot went like this.

In order to take control of Stark Industries, Stane contacted members of the Ten Rings and had Tony kidnapped.

After Tony escaped, Stane took the Arc Reactor from Tony's chest, intending to let Tony die slowly.

But Tony still had an old reactor at home, so he did not die.

Then Tony used the old reactor to battle the giant Iron Suit Stane had built.

In the end, Tony won.

But the battle had been quite thrilling.

Tony had nearly died several times.

After thinking it over, Su Zheng decided to help Tony after all. Tony had helped him make money, after all.

Just then, the system's voice rang out in Su Zheng's mind.

[Ding! The Divine Choice System has activated.]

[One: Capitalists should be nailed to crosses. Strip Tony and Stane naked, then hang them side by side from a streetlamp.]

[Reward: Hulk's indestructible underwear! It can grow, shrink, and stretch, and it cannot be destroyed!]

[Two: Beat up Iron Monger! He dares play with metal in front of me? Let him know who the true king of metal is!]

[Reward: Magnetic Field Control ability increased by 10%.]

[Three: Magneto needs a grand entrance! Other people are fighting, so I should create a spectacular scene to liven things up! Lift a steel bridge spanning five kilometers and interrupt their battle.]

[Reward: Magneto's red cape.]

Su Zheng...

What would I need Magneto's red cape for?

And I only have 10% of Magneto's peak Magnetic Field Control ability right now!

I can't do something like that either!

To lift such a massive steel bridge, I'd need at least 70% of his ability, wouldn't I?

That thing probably weighs thousands of tons.

The first option! What use was indestructible underwear?

I'm not Hulk. I don't need to worry about exposing myself!

The second option was actually not bad.

He could already easily control ten tons of metal.

If it increased by 10%...

He should be able to easily control fifty tons of metal. After all, 20% was not simply double 10%.

In the system, it was not a multiplicative relationship. It was an exponential one.

At his peak, Magneto could control the magnetic field of the entire Earth.

"I choose two."
