" Nightclub, go help Sneaky! Ravagers, Disco's surrounded by a few Extremis Soldier, go take care of them!"
" Silver Centurion, go take care of those guys up ahead. Red Snapper, get ready, we're going to rescue them!"
Tony directed, JARVIS piloted; all the suits were made of expensive Gold-Titanium Alloy, and the 3,000-degree heat couldn't melt the material in a short time. Plus, these suits were agile, able to fight and leave immediately.
Not to mention Thor's occasional lightning support from high above, all of which allowed Qin Xiao and Tony to escape the battlefield perfectly.
"Qin, I think I've found their location. See those shipping containers up there? They've been modified. They should be inside!"
Having just wandered around the bottom of the ship's cabins without finding anything, Qin Xiao flew up from the other side of the cruise ship.
"I should pay more attention to details when watching movies in the future."
Qin Xiao muttered something, then he and Tony each went in a different direction and burst through the outer shell into the container at the top.
This temporary laboratory was created by piecing together several shipping containers.
There are only four people inside now.
Aside from Natasha and Pepper Potts, who were still strapped to stretchers, there was only Killian and his top henchman, Erik Seven.
"Oh! Two superheroes have come to rescue their woman, how touching!"
Killian stood between Natasha and Pepper Potts, while Erik Seven stood behind him, still chewing his gum with a disdainful expression.
Although there were no cameras outside, Killian had gone out to take a look earlier.
He never imagined that Stark's armor would be so powerful, and that there would be so many of them.
His prized Extremis Soldier army was decimated after only three Avengers arrived.
It all seemed so ironic, just like thirteen years ago on that rooftop, when he was full of hope but ultimately met with gusts of cold wind.
Years ago, what drove him to despair was Stark's dismissive attitude, and today, it is still Stark who, single-handedly, has crushed Killian's entire fortune with his own Iron Man Armor legion.
This shattered Killian's ambitions of many years. Now he had only one thought: to defeat the two Avengers in front of him, or rather, to defeat Tony Stark.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiao didn't give him that chance. Just as he finished speaking and was about to say something more, Qin Xiao appeared in front of them with a speed that was completely beyond their reaction range.
He grabbed them by the neck with one hand and lifted them off the ground.
"I really don't know where your pride comes from? The so-called Extremis Virus you mentioned was initiated and invented by Maya Hansen, and the formula that perfected it came from Tony. You have been nothing from the beginning."
"Even if you stand on the shoulders of those two, after all these years, you still haven't solved any problems. In the end, you're still thinking of threatening Tony to solve your problems. It's laughable. Now tell me, what's the source of that arrogant expression on your face? Who gave you such strong confidence?"
The moment Qin Xiao grabbed them, the two of them immediately unleashed their inner energy, grabbing directly at Qin Xiao's arms and body.
But to their despair, even after pushing the temperature to its limit, not a single hair on Qin Xiao's arm was singed.
What's even more despairing is that Qin Xiao's clothes actually withstood their intense heat.
This was completely beyond their comprehension.
However, Qin Xiao didn't seem to have any intention of explaining things to them. To Killian's astonishment, azure flames erupted from his left hand, instantly turning Erik Cyborg into ashes.
Yes, in just a few seconds, Erik Seven didn't even have a chance to self-destruct; he was instantly vaporized on the spot.
"Did you know? There's a China idiom that perfectly describes your expression: 'a frog in a well looking at the sky'! That's the kind of expression a frog has when it suddenly leaves the well and sees the sky outside."
"Now, kneel down!"
Qin Xiao's immense strength forced Killian to kneel down, directly in the direction Tony was facing.
"Thirteen years ago, you failed to get help from this person. Later, you worked hard to gather resources to take revenge on him. It was a good idea, and I originally had no objection. But now that you've run into trouble yourself, you actually want this person, the one you're planning to take revenge on, to solve your problems?"
Do you even know what kind of behavior you're behaving? It's like a child who argues with their father, runs away from home, has no money, and then shamelessly calls their father for help!
"Come on! Call me Daddy!"
Qin Xiao's hand trembled slightly, Killian pressed himself against the ground. Qin Xiao then stepped on him.
"Hurry up, call me Dad!"
As soon as Qin Xiao made his move, Tony rushed to rescue Pepper Potts and Natasha.
The three of them looked at Killian on the ground with complicated expressions.
"Qin! Just kill him!"
Tony gave Killian a complicated look; he himself had created this demon.
"Actually, I don't care, I just can't stand this guy. He was clearly humiliated and wanted revenge, but he had to cause so much trouble."
Qin Xiao shrugged indifferently, about to finish off Killian with a single burst of flame, when he suddenly felt his feet sink into the ground.
It turned out that Killian had been radiating heat, and the area beneath it had already begun to deform and melt from the heat. It had just softened to a certain degree, causing Killian to fall down.
"Don't worry, he can't escape!"
Qin Xiao looked at the large hole in the ground and said calmly.
They opened a wormhole and the four of them landed directly on the shore.
Just then, Rhodey rescued the president and was brought down by a suit of armor.
Looking back at the cruise ship, the battle was nearly over; the Iron Man Armor had completely surrounded the ship in the sky.
Only a few Extremis Soldier remained on the ship, stubbornly resisting by using the obstacles.
I believe JARVIS is fully capable of directing his men to handle this alone.
"Qin, so you've rescued him! That's great! Perfect timing, you open the door and take the president back first!"
Qin Xiao glanced at Rhodey and the United States president, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips.
" Natasha, I'll take you and His Excellency the President back to the base first. Arrange for someone to escort the President to the White House. Remember, make it a grand affair, and it's best to invite plenty of reporters; otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of the President's status."
Tony comforted Pepper Potts, "Don't worry, you guys go back first. We'll go back as soon as we're done. I have a way to get rid of the virus in you. Don't worry, darling, you won't be like this forever."
" Mr. Qin, why don't you just send me back to the White House? You know who I am; we need to keep these things discreet!"
The president took a step forward and spoke to Qin Xiao.
"No! Mr. President, this world is not safe. It would be better if our Avengers escorted you back!"
As soon as Qin Xiao finished speaking, Rhodey wanted to say something to Qin Xiao.
" Rhodey, if you don't want me to hold a press conference and tell you what happened to you this afternoon, you'd better shut your mouth!"
