**In the desert!
**Under the scorching sun!
**In the howling wind!**
Walking through the desert with uneven steps, the boundless yellow sand instills the deepest fear and despair in a man! Arthur is not particularly desperate right now, but he is incredibly angry!
"To spend all day hunting geese, only to be blinded by one..."
Arthur muttered to himself, but then he felt something was wrong: "That's like an eighty-year-old woman bouncing a child… what the heck with the eighty-year-old woman! Ah, indeed, the heat of the sun is melting my reason and thought, stalling my intelligence!"
He casually took a bag of water from his Disassembler space and poured it over his head!
However, the refreshing sensation quickly faded under the oppressive force of the scorching sun.
"Coward!!!"
Arthur spat, pulled out another bag of water, and gulped it down.
The reason he was so reckless was mainly because his Disassembler space was large, allowing him to be wasteful!
Before he left, he knew where his target was this time, so he prepared well in advance.
His Disassembler space was stocked with plenty of drinking water, enough for him to use freely.
His original plan, however, did not involve hiking through the desert.
In fact, he had a car, but a day ago that car had perished along with the desert.
"That damned bastard, you better not let me see you again! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"
Arthur thought of the person who sold him the car, and his teeth gritted in anger.
He had been in this country for two months.
During those two months, he had been investigating an armed organization called the Ten Rings.
He got this name from information in the movies, which was his unique advantage!
But the problem was, knowing a name wasn't enough; the movie didn't specify where these bastards were hiding Tony.
The desert was an endless expanse of despair - where exactly would you find someone in such a vast area?
So, after arriving here, Arthur plunged into the dark world.
This land was chaotic enough, with armed groups everywhere, which made it convenient for Arthur's actions.
But the Ten Rings were very secretive, and very few people knew about them.
It took him a full two months to suddenly remember that these people were also called 'Freedom Fighters' in addition to 'Ten Rings'.
Following this lead, Arthur finally found a clue and confirmed their location.
Time was of the essence and Arthur wasn't sure if something unexpected would happen to Tony.
He bought a car in a hurry, didn't check it out carefully, and rushed over.
As a result, he got tricked.
The car broke down a day ago and turned into a piece of scrap metal in the desert.
So Arthur had to start his desert trek.
"If I hadn't been well prepared, I'd be dead by now!"
Arthur sighed, "Arthur, you must remember that in the future. Even a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit; in matters of life and death, any negligence can cost you everything!"
After giving himself a pep talk, Arthur felt his spirits lifted a bit. He took out a compass to confirm his direction and was about to continue when he suddenly heard the sound of a car engine.
"Huh... huh?"
He turned to look but was blocked by a sand dune.
He climbed a few more steps and stood on top of the dune, finally seeing a convoy moving through the desert.
With his keen eyesight, Arthur saw clearly that most of these people were armed.
Their clothing indicated that they were no ordinary people, and judging by the direction they were traveling...
The next moment, Arthur suddenly raised both hands and began to shout loudly!
**Five minutes later, Arthur was surrounded by five cars.
They had no intention of getting out of their vehicles, but instead circled around Arthur, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.
Arthur's face darkened, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
The convoy gradually stopped, and a group of unfriendly-looking people with guns got out of their cars. One of them spoke to Arthur: "￥%￥#@!"
Arthur blinked and then sighed deeply.
This was why he hadn't been able to discover the truth about the Ten Rings for two whole months!
Damn it, in a world where even Thanos spoke English, why couldn't he understand a word these people were saying?
Of course, not understanding the language led to constant roadblocks.
"Do any of you... speak English?" Arthur asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly stepped forward from behind him, and with a crack, the butt of a gun slammed into the back of Arthur's head.
Arthur's mouth twitched, and just as he was about to turn around, he rolled his eyes and pretended to faint...
Of course, he was faking it!
Given the force of the blow, even with the added impact of the rifle butt, it was impossible to knock Arthur out that easily.
But seeing the direction they had been going earlier, Arthur guessed that their destination might be the same as his.
If that was the case, Arthur could use this opportunity to infiltrate their ranks and find Tony.
This would also greatly increase his safety!
Of course, Arthur was gambling on this.
Lying on the ground, he secretly used the Eye of Horus to watch them.
If he sensed that one of them had the urge to come up and finish him off with a shot or two, Arthur would spring into action.
With only twenty or thirty of them... Arthur estimated that he could still handle them.
After all, he was the guy who once barged into a fight between the Hulk and Abomination!
Yes, Arthur had given Abomination the nickname (Strong Green Bald Guy)!
Fortunately, no one came to finish him off; instead, two people grabbed Arthur's legs and dragged him into one of the cars.
...
...
By the time Arthur was dragged out of the car about half an hour later, the Eye of Horus had already scanned the area several times.
On the outer perimeter were canopies under which crates of weapons were stored.
There was a driveway in the middle, and further ahead was a cave.
Arthur became increasingly frustrated as he realized that they weren't treating him like a person.
Two men dragged him by his legs, as if pulling an object, and dragged him into the cave.
The bumpy ride nearly made Arthur cough up blood!
They dragged Arthur to the deepest part of the cave, opened a door, and threw him inside.
They chattered to the people inside, who chattered back.
The door closed with a loud bang. Two people quickly approached, picked Arthur up, and placed him on a bed.
"Is he okay?"
One of them asked.
"He's just supposed to be unconscious. These guys said he was going to help us. Could this be a trap?"
(End of this chapter)
Capítulo 78: MD-Chapter 78 First Meeting with Tony!
The person across from Arthur was silent for a moment before speaking, "I don't think they would do that. There are monitors here; they have no reason to send someone to spy on us. If they were really suspicious, there's no need to go to all this trouble."
"Hmm, you're right."
After this brief exchange, the two returned to their tasks.
Arthur lay on the bed, using the Eye of Horus to secretly watch them.
It was almost certain that one of them was Tony Stark.
Arthur had seen him on TV before, and this guy... well, he looked a lot like his father.
Of course, what really confirmed Tony's identity to Arthur was the flashing arc reactor in his chest.
As for the other person, if this was indeed the cave where Iron Man built his first suit, then he must be Yinsen, the man who sacrificed himself so that Tony could wear the armor and escape.
The two of them were busy forging something around the furnace, probably Tony's first set of powered armor!
"No doubt about it."
Arthur yawned, opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
The two other people were so engrossed in their work that they didn't notice Arthur waking up.
Arthur had no choice but to cough.
Only then did the two stop what they were doing and turn to look at Arthur.
They exchanged glances and Tony motioned to Yinsen. Yinsen walked over to Arthur and said, "@#￥%#?"
Arthur's mouth twitched and he sighed, "I don't understand anything you are saying."
"I asked how you are feeling?" Yinsen sighed in relief and looked at Tony, who was still busy with his work, seemingly unconcerned with the situation here.
"I feel pretty good, it's almost like I've been 'enlightened'," Arthur said.
"..."
Yinsen was at a loss for words. Enlightened? Really? Why don't you just ascend to heaven then?
After thinking for a while, he realized that he had no idea how to react. His thoughts had been enlightened, and he couldn't remember what he wanted to say.
"What are you guys doing? And where exactly is this place? Actually, I came here looking for someone, but I couldn't find them. I've been searching for a long time, and when I got lost in the desert, I came across... that's right, I came across a group of people. But when I asked for help, I think I was knocked out."
Arthur sighed at this point, "People in this country are really unfriendly. All I wanted was a ride."
"You tried to hitch a ride with them?" Tony turned to look at Arthur and smiled slightly, "You've got guts."
"Thanks!" Arthur smiled, "You're a nice person. I rarely get compliments like that."
"..."
Yinsen was speechless again. Did Arthur really miss the obvious sarcasm in Tony's voice?
Is this guy... really okay?
"What are you doing here? And you still haven't told me what this place is. Where did those guys go? I still have to find someone." Arthur looked around as he got off the bed, "Why do I have a bad feeling about this place? And the environment here is rather unpleasant for someone of my social standing."
"No matter if you were upper class or lower class."
Tony walked over to Arthur and said, "The reality you're facing now is the same as ours - you've been kidnapped!"
"Are you the kidnappers?"
Arthur's eyes widened and he quickly said, "Hey, just so you know, I don't have any money..."
"Didn't you just say you were from the upper class?"
Yinsen widened his eyes and asked.
"I am an upper-class pauper, is that not possible?" Arthur said righteously.
"..." Yinsen was again at a loss for words.
"No matter... huh?" Tony said, suddenly looking Arthur up and down. "Why do you look so familiar?"
"Could it be that you dreamed about me?" Arthur said. "Please tell me that's not the case. To be dreamed of by an unkempt man is terrifying!"
"I've dreamed of many beautiful women, but you're not one of them," Tony shook his head. "We have no time to waste here if you want to stay alive. I hope you make the right choice."
"What choice?"
Arthur glanced at their workstation before speaking. "What exactly are you making? And what's that thing on your chest? It's pretty. Where did you buy it?"
Tony didn't bother to answer and went back to work.
Arthur looked at Yinsen in confusion. "Why is he ignoring me? Does he have communication problems?"
"I think he just finds you... annoying."
Yinsen also went back to his work.
Arthur walked around casually with his hands behind his back, occasionally glancing at Tony with a slight smile with a strange expression of an elder looking at a younger relative.
Howard's son had grown so much in the blink of an eye!
Others might not feel it as deeply, but for Arthur, it truly felt like the blink of an eye.
Just two and a half months ago, he had been in a meeting with Howard.
Life is truly unpredictable!
Arthur sighed. Tony's comment about familiarity piqued his interest.
Thinking back, he had been Howard's close friend, often eating and drinking together. Were there photographs?
Scratching his head, Arthur couldn't recall.
Well, it was possible... fortunately it was dark here and Tony might not recognize him.
Arthur was indecisive about what to do next.
Should he take Howard's son and his friend and escape, showing his strength by defeating the outside enemies?
Or should he wait for Iron Man's first suit to be completed and witness the birth of Iron Man?
"After all... the latter seems more interesting."
Arthur rubbed his nose and sat cross-legged on the bed.
The two of them were sweating profusely from their work and occasionally looked over, almost dying of frustration.
They worked hard while Arthur acted like an emperor.
Yinsen took a deep breath and said to Arthur, "Do you not understand your situation?"
"I understand."
Arthur nodded.
"Then what are you doing? Trying to..." He looked around and then lowered his voice, "If we want to leave, this suit is our only hope."
Arthur suddenly realized, "So our goal is to escape."
Then he said hesitantly, "But can you really escape with that pile of junk?"
