Boom—!
The repulsor blast struck the incoming missile dead on, and a fierce fireball exploded in midair.
But even the shockwave shattered every pane of glass.
"Ah—!"
The screams instantly drowned out the music.
The girls scattered in all directions without a shred of composure. Only Pepper rushed through the crowd toward Tony on the stage.
"Tony! Are you okay?!"
"I'm fine, I'm fine! I'll get you out of here right away!"
Tony rushed out of the villa with Pepper, but the instant they made it outside, two rockets streaked in from somewhere nearby and slammed into the villa.
Boom—!
With a deafening blast, the birthday stage Tony had set up was blown to pieces.
Then large numbers of fully armed troops poured out of the arriving trucks and stormed inside. Gunfire erupted at once.
"Oh my God."
Pepper covered her mouth in helpless panic.
The girls who had been invited were being massacred right before her eyes.
"I'll get you somewhere safe first."
Tony panted, his heart overflowing with surging rage.
Someone actually dared to attack his home like this!
"Stark!"
Just as Tony was about to fly away with Pepper, an electric whip suddenly shot up from below and coiled around his leg, sending sparks flying in an instant.
Fortunately, he flung Pepper away at the last moment. Otherwise, the armor covered in electricity would have taken her life in an instant.
But things were not much better now.
"No—!"
Tony let out a powerless roar, able only to watch as Pepper fell toward the raging flames.
He felt as though he had reached the most despairing moment of his life.
Bang!
Mirage's massive figure swept past like a shadow, firmly catching Pepper in its hand.
"Saiki!"
Shen He shouted through the loudest loudspeaker.
"She's fine."
