"I knew you'd say that."
After recently getting along with him, Tony obviously understood Shell's character. His answer wasn't much of a surprise to him.
Instead, he simply turned his head and shouted.
"Happy!"
As Tony's voice fell, a brand new red food truck slowly drove over. Happy's face was revealed when the window came down.
"Well, you helped me anyway. Consider this a show of gratitude, a gift. It's brand new, with all the bells and whistles." Tony walked towards the truck and gestured to Happy to press a button inside. The truck instantly transformed into a small food stall with chairs, without needing the driver to set anything up by hand.
Sitting down on a built-in chair of the food stall, Tony raised an eyebrow and bragged, "How's that? You like it?" In order to modify this food truck into something that was almost like a mobile mini restaurant, Tony spent a whole day designing and testing it, spending a lot of effort on it.
Inside the antique shop, Ryan looked at Tony's food truck with a raised eyebrow and a subtle expression.
Although, from his point of view, Tony had always been regarded as a target he could gain points from, the sincerity of the other party had slightly touched his heart.
After all, the transforming food truck was still a food truck. But it's pretty cool, right?
"Well, if you want to thank me for it, you can always make me some new dishes to try."
However, Tony's next words reeled back Ryan's feelings.
Seeing that Shell was still silently kneading the dough, Tony awkwardly added, "I'm not saying the Golden Ration Dumplings are bad... It's just... You're obviously a great cook. I know you can make a lot of things, like... that bun that had a smiley face on it, or the four coloured ones..."
To be honest, he was obsessed with the Buns of the Four Gods. Especially when he had tasted only one of the four buns, he was extremely curious about the remaining three colours.
In a sense, the purpose of giving Shell a new food truck was so that he could eat new and better dishes.
Inside the antique shop, Ryan listened to Tony's roundabout explanation with a speechless expression.
However, before he could control Shell to answer him, the sound of gunshots could be heard down the street.
When Tony heard the sound of gunshots and screams in the distance, he immediately curbed the lighthearted expression on his face.
"Jarvis, what happened?"
"Sir, there's a group of unidentified cyborgs appearing nearby. Judging by their movements, it seems like they're heading for Stark Industries."
"Cyborgs...?"
Listening to Jarvis's report, Tony muttered something to himself. Soon, he saw what those cyborgs looked like.
A figure appeared at the corner of the street, with a body that was obviously cybernetically modified. Tony subconsciously frowned, and his expression turned icy cold. To be honest, the modifications to the person had shocked him. Purely from the perspective of technology, this was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough.
However, Tony couldn't even feel the slightest joy when he thought that this breakthrough was being built up on a living person's body, especially when he saw the increasing number of cyborgs on the street.
Obviously, the appearance of a large number of cyborg robots meant only one thing. Someone was cybernetically modifying a lot of people.
The army of cyborgs gathered in the streets, and they soon spotted Tony's figure. They changed their direction and went towards him.
"Jarvis, what are you waiting for?"
Looking at the army of cyborgs getting closer and closer, Tony couldn't help but whisper into his watch.
As Tony's words fell, in the next moment, a brand-new battle armour fell from the sky. The parts scattered in all directions and encased Tony.
The Mark 6 -- a new armour Tony had developed after his previous battle with Ivan, using the newly improved arc reactor he made from the plans Howard Stark had left behind as an energy source. Forged with vibranium, it was even more powerful than the previous armour.
"Happy, you guys should leave first."
Equipped with the new armour, Tony looked at the army of cyborgs gradually surrounding him and addressed Happy, who was behind him.
"The way I see it, none of you can leave..."
Just then, someone spoke up with a heavy accent.
Immediately after, they saw Ivan show up, dressed in a lab coat. He stood among the cyborgs, grinning and shouting at Tony, "We meet again, Stark."
"Vanko!"
Looking at the familiar face, the corners of Tony's lip twitched, "How did you get out?"
He clearly remembered that after this guy was defeated by Master Roshi, some people from S.H.I.E.L.D. took him away.
'How did he escape?'
"Prison can't stop me, Stark. You're not going to win this time, I have a cyborg army." In a low, hoarse voice, Ivan answered.
Hearing Ivan's hate-filled words, Tony silently scanned the army of expressionless cyborgs in front of him and asked, "You mean... you're the one that made these cyborgs?"
"That's right." Facing Tony's question, Ivan nodded and admitted it without hesitation. "Although I wasn't the one who fully designed them, after some tinkering, they're better than the original blueprints."
"So there's someone else?"
Tony keenly noticed the clues in Ivan's words and couldn't help asking, "Who gave you the original blueprints? "
"Now, why would I tell you, Stark? "
With an ugly grin, Ivan instantly gave the order, "Cyborgs! Kill him! "
