Natasha rustled around changing clothes in the back seat, while Su Zhou adjusted the rearview mirror to the perfect viewing angle.
Not only did he weave effortlessly through traffic, he even had time to pull off a drift.
All the while, his eyes never left the rearview mirror for a single second. He drove purely with his peripheral vision.
After all, this was the personal assistant he had paid a fortune to hire. Every second he spent not looking was a loss!
Natasha naturally noticed Su Zhou's gaze, but given his driving skills, she could hardly make a fuss.
After all, with something like [Super Vision], even Su Zhou's peripheral vision gave him a wider field of view than the average person.
Only when Natasha had finished dressing did she pull the zipper of her tight-fitting training suit up to her chest.
After thinking it over, she ultimately left her cleavage exposed and looked up at Su Zhou, whose eyes were facing straight ahead.
Natasha brought her mouth close to Su Zhou's ear and whispered:
"Do I have a nice figure?"
Su Zhou: (/ω＼)
"What gunshot wound on your belly? I didn't see anything! I'm driving!"
Natasha: (▼ヘ▼#)
"You certainly got a good look!"
"I know the guy who shot you. I even fought him a little while ago!"
Su Zhou put the dress Natasha handed him into his spatial ring, then took off his tie while driving one-handed.
With a sudden drift on the road, the car came to a steady stop outside the entrance to Hammer Industries.
"Aren't you going to change? It'll be a real waste if your clothes get ruined!"
Natasha opened the car door and walked with Su Zhou to the entrance to Hammer Industries.
"They're nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs. What decent security could Hammer Industries possibly have?"
"Really?"
Natasha was a little skeptical and reached out to pull open Hammer Industries' glass entrance door!
A burly security guard who looked to weigh well over two hundred pounds walked over.
"Hey! This is Hammer Industries. You can't come in without a pass!"
Bam!
Su Zhou landed a straight punch on his chin, and the burly guard lay down on the floor quite peacefully!
Shrugging, Su Zhou looked at the somewhat speechless Natasha and said:
"See? What did I tell you? This guard was eating a doughnut just now.
"With that pathetic level of fitness, how's he any different from an NYPD dispatcher?"
"Fine. Let's hurry up and find him."
Natasha was speechless too. It seemed Su Zhou knew quite a lot about Hammer Industries as well.
Just where did he get his intelligence? From Hydra?!
"That Winter Soldier who shot me? How do you know him?"
"He's a member of Hydra too."
"Do you know his real identity?"
"Of course!"
"Then who is he?"
Su Zhou and Natasha chatted as they fought their way through, with Su Zhou knocking down every guard who dared approach with a single punch.
There was absolutely no technique involved. He overwhelmed them purely with the speed and power of his punches.
And that was with him holding back. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten away with just passing out on the floor and losing a couple of teeth!
Su Zhou was delighted the whole way and never even thought about going to find Ivan.
Every guard he knocked down earned him one Justice Point. Where else could he find such a great deal?
Actually, before this operation began, Su Zhou had weighed his options.
If he stayed at the expo, his opponents would be the robot soldiers controlled by Ivan.
If he came to Hammer Industries to find Ivan, his opponents would be these guards fattened up on doughnuts.
Although he didn't know how many Justice Points he could get for defeating a robot soldier compared to a guard,
that wasn't the way to work it out. The robot soldiers not only had guns and cannons, but could all fly as well.
Even with the Adamantium Blade in hand, there wasn't much he could do about robot soldiers flying through the sky!
Compared to the guards here, they were worlds apart!
Besides, there was no threat here at all. It took him only twenty-one punches to knock down all twenty-one guards.
Only when the two fought their way to the thirtieth floor did they discover two guards standing outside room 3082.
Presumably, that was the room Ivan was in. Su Zhou glanced at Natasha and extended his right hand.
"Ladies first?"
Natasha glanced at her clean, tidy, skintight combat suit and realized that changing clothes earlier had been unnecessary.
Not only had she given that pervert Su Zhou a free show, but she hadn't needed to lift a finger!
She could have come in high heels and a dress without any trouble!
Yet now, of all times, Su Zhou had decided to let her finish things off?!
What kind of ladies first was this?!
"No, thanks. I'm in a good mood today. I don't feel like fighting!"
Natasha gave Su Zhou a sweet smile and folded her arms across her chest, deepening her cleavage!
Su Zhou raised his eyebrows and finally managed to drag his gaze away from that endless abyss.
Full of pent-up heat, he went over and knocked down the two innocent guards who knew nothing about any of this.
Then he kicked open the door to room 3082 and discovered that, apart from a pile of monitors,
all that remained inside were two unlucky souls hanging dead from the ceiling framework!
The moment Natasha saw the dizzying mass of data on the monitors, she knew it was her turn to work.
There was no way a brute like Su Zhou could understand it! The interface was in Russian!
Her fingers clattered across the keyboard, and she connected to Tony and Rhodey's chat channel.
"Hey, my former boss, are you starting to miss me now?"
"Natasha?!"
Tony sounded incredibly surprised and delighted. Rhodey and a whole crowd of robot soldiers were chasing him all over the sky.
To avoid anyone getting hurt, he could only fly toward deserted areas.
"Can you reboot Rhodey's armor system now?"
"What else do you think I'm doing?"
Natasha smiled, but her fingers never stopped, working furiously over the keyboard.
She paid no attention to what Su Zhou was doing. Although it was only a reboot command,
it was fairly complicated in a sense, because Ivan had set several layers of passwords!
"Rhodey's armor will reboot in three seconds. Three, two, one!"
"Wait! I'm in the air right now!!!"
Only then did Rhodey realize his situation wasn't looking good. If his armor rebooted while he was flying,
he would fall right out of the sky!
But Natasha had already pressed Enter, and Rhodey's armor lost power in midair!
He spun as he plummeted out of the sky, hurtling toward a botanical garden beside the expo!
"Rhodey!"
Seeing Rhodey fall from the sky, Tony outright ignored the gunfire from the robot soldiers pursuing him.
He charged through the hail of bullets toward Rhodey, but even so,
Tony knew there was absolutely no way he could catch him before Rhodey hit the ground!
"No!!!"
