Chapter 52 Iron Man Never Backs Down
Rhode said: "No, thank you, I won't smoke..."
Immediately afterwards, he saw Stark take out a cigarette on his own and throw it into the air. In an instant, a pair of thin blue and silver mechas were armed on him. Rhode swallowed and said, "Give me one, thank you."
On the other hand, General Johnson had just climbed back into the cockpit of a huge robot, and the fist that appeared in his sight was a sandbag.
Iron Man was about to deal with Johnson with Rhode, but was stopped by the Iron Monster who stood up again. He heard Obadaia say, "Do you know? Most of the things I told you about your father are not the truth."
"In fact, he smoked and drank, mixed up with women, dreamed all day long, was good at sudden whims, and after messing up a lot of things, he would only let others clean up the mess for him."
"I made up all the heroic stories about him. He is actually a complete bastard."
"But you know, how did I stop him when he opened his mouth and said something stupid?"
Iron Man had a bad premonition, but before he could answer, a fist as big as a sandbag appeared in his field of vision.
Looking at the Iron Man flying backwards, the little spider rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, now the question is, who should we help?"
Captain America patted his shield and said, "I think what Obadaiya said makes sense. After all, he is Stark's elder, and he has more reason to beat him up than me."
"But it's not good for us to look like this?"
"Then let's not see, let's go, there are still wounded people who need to be carried into the ambulance."
On the other side, Iron Man got up from a pile of steel bars in a dizzy head and said, "Wait! Uncle... OK, Howard is a bad guy, so do I! But I think there is a better solution than this method. I think we can sit down and talk! Or hold a board of directors or something, don't always use fists to solve the problem..."
"You are not qualified to say this."
With a roar of the steel monster, the huge robot jumped up and landed in front of him, and the shadow enveloped the Iron Man's armor. Obadaiya said: "You will soon understand that your iron shell is useless, even if you change it to its appearance."
Iron Man was helpless. Obadaiya seemed determined to beat him up. His anger also came up. He said: "You will soon know if it has only changed its appearance!"
As he said that, he flexibly avoided the fist of the huge steel monster like a bird. Almost instantly, he flew behind the steel monster and punched it on the back.
The steel monster waved his backhand and Stark flexibly avoided it again. Although his current armor is thinner, his power system is faster and more flexible after being modified.
He stretched out his palm, and the steel bars in the ruins next to him began to tremble slightly, then flew up in an instant, pointing straight at the steel monster. Jarvis said to Stark: "The magnetic control system is still being upgraded, and it cannot operate at high frequency, and the energy is about to be exhausted..."
Stark pinched his fist and flew out at the steel monster.
Obadaiya obviously didn't expect this move. After all, Iron Man's style was a warrior. In addition to the palm cannon, he also swung his fists with the enemy most of the time. But now this silver and blue mecha made him look more like a mage.
As Stark's arms swung, the steel bars shot towards the steel monster quickly. Obadea had only time to control the mecha and dodged half of the steel bars on the left, but a few still hit his right arm.
But he was much more decisive. He jumped out with the help of the moment he was hit, and he was an uppercut toward Iron Man in the air.
A series of sparks emerged from Iron Man's mecha. He was not willing to be outdone. He directly dived in the opposite direction and punched the Iron Monster's neck. The Iron Monster shook slightly, grabbed one of Iron Man's legs, and threw him out.
Iron Man was shocked again. It happened that the place where he landed was the battlefield between Rhode and General Johnson. Rhode was also at a disadvantage. Iron Man shouted: "Come on! Exchange opponents and we start the second half!"
This was the right decision. Rhodes' mecha had stronger strength, but the huge mecha he faced had eight tentacles, and if he was not fast enough, he would be pulled out hard. It was indeed better to deal with Stark's more flexible mecha.
So Rhodes stabilized his body, directly lifted and dived, and flew towards Obadaiya's steel monster.
After choosing the right opponent, the battle situation began to become clear. Stark used his high mobility to directly remove half of General Johnson's tentacles on his back. Without the tentacles assisted in moving, Johnson's mecha became a real can of iron and became Iron Man's sandbag. After a few punches, he began to catch fire everywhere.
The robots he summoned were basically solved quickly by Stark using his high speed.
On the other side, although Rhode, who was head-on with the steel monster, was not feeling well, but the steel monster had already had a malfunction in the previous explosion. After a few rounds, the steel monster fell to the ground, and seemed to be unable to stand up again.
Rhodes walked to Iron Man and said, "I heard from my former boss, General Andro, mentioned that he knew your father when he was young, but I don't know what happened."
"That damn despicable villain Howard! He picked up Old Andro with the orders from the military! Originally, I shouldn't be a small major general in the Air Force!"
"That doesn't matter anymore," Stark said. "Now you may not even be a major general."
"Everyone knows that only Iron Man can build these mechas. I use the technology you gave to the military, as long as..."
"No, I don't mean that, I mean, although Howard is a bad guy, I think he does have something worth learning about, such as finding the right partner in the military, of course, that's not you..."
"Aren't you going to shut down Stark's weapons manufacturing department?"
"Where did you hear the rumor?"
Johnson turned his head and looked at the mecha in Obadea.
"Is my uncle telling you?"
"Did he tell you that every Stark is like this? We are very fickle. Just a few minutes ago, I changed my mind. Not only will I not close Stark's weapons manufacturing department, I also plan to formally cooperate with the military. I happen to have a few ideas about individual exoskeletons and medical auxiliary support systems..."
"No! You can't do this! Damn, I've promised Hanmo Military Industry..."
"The idiot always find another idiot." Obadaiya's voice came from a distance again.
Johnson's mecha burst into a series of sparks, and he obviously hammered something inside.
"It seems that these mechas were made by the Hanmo Military Industry for you, but to be honest, these things have long been outdated."
"Yes, you only handed over the outdated technology to Rhodes." Johnson still did not forget to sow discord.
Rhode held his arm next to him and said, "He just gave me a cigarette, a very fashionable cigarette."
Stark stopped talking nonsense to Johnson. He walked to the collapsed steel monster, then opened the cockpit, and Obadaiya lay inside. He looked unharmed, but his face was very bad and looked like he was going to die.
"Doctor! I need a doctor!"
Schiller appeared in response, spread his hands and said, "I guess, what you need is not me, a psychologist."
"Of course, but stop talking nonsense, take him to the hospital."
The symbiont said to Schiller in his mind: "His heart..."
Schiller touched Obadaiya's pulse and found that his heart rate was indeed very wrong. Obadaiya coughed and said, "The external energy core is not enough to drive such a behemoth..."
"You've tampered with your heart?" Schiller asked.
Stark pulled away Obadaiya's top anxiously and found that there was indeed a scar on his chest. He said anxiously: "Hurry up! Send him back to my laboratory first!... Damn, the path of biomechanical cannot be done at all! That is simply overdrawing life!"
"You are as arbitrary as your father, and never listen to others' opinions..." Obadea said, but in the end he said nothing when he saw the blood shed from Stark's forehead.
"You send him back first, just so happens that I know a pretty good neurosurgeon, and you'll see him at Stark Building later."
After Schiller and Stark left, only General Johnson and Rhodes were left on the battlefield. Johnson was shouting wildly: "You damn madman! Rhodes! Don't you know that the duty of a soldier is to obey orders? I am your peak now! That old Andro has retired and got out!"
"Yes, the above general retired gloriously and was able to get a high-paying idle job in Congress, with a lot of pensions. Last winter, I went to Hawaii for two months, and my granddaughter just got admitted to Harvard..."
Johnson's mecha made another violent explosion.
After a while he said, "You will regret it, Rhodes and Stark are never trustworthy, you will regret being his friend."
"They are selfish, sensitive, and suspicious, and sooner or later they will destroy everything. They have a genius brain that can save themselves, but they will not save you, nor will they save a watchdog."
Rhode took off his mecha and walked out of it, looking around.
This place has been completely ruined. Not far away, Spider and Captain America were sending the wounded into an ambulance. Most of them evacuated in an orderly manner, but many were injured by the aftermath of the explosion during the escape, and they were just rescued.
New York is very big, and the aftermath of this battle only affected a few nearby streets. On the road further afield, vehicles and pedestrians were still bustling.
Soon, a purple-red glow lit up at the end of the sky, and dawn was coming.
"You're right. Stark is a bunch of bad people, impulsive and willful. He never considers the consequences when doing things. He is waiting for others to clean up the mess for them, but Iron Man is different..."
Rhode looked at the light at the end of the sky, and reached out, took off his erectile slap, looked down, pinched it on his fingertips, and then threw it on Johnson's face.
