Tony Stark disappears

Although Duke seems to have mutated at this time, John is grateful that he is still alive.

However, he was still somewhat surprised that this high school student actually had a regeneration potion in his hands.

"How much does it cost?" he asked. Although he had been a killer for many years, most of the money he obtained was killer gold coins. Although he had a balance of several thousand or even hundreds of millions of dollars, the regeneration potion that could bring the dead back to life was obviously also priced at a sky-high price.

"Just calculate it as 300 million, and you owe me a favor." Merlin said indifferently.

"As for the side effects..." He glanced at the fierce beagle in the cage, "I think it's a good idea to leave it with you. It will put your mind at ease."

John also looked at his beloved dog. Although he looked a little weird, he looked inexplicably more handsome.

Although regenerative drugs are mainly used for human genes, the effects of extracting stem cells separately and using them on animals are still very good.

Apart from some physical changes, rationality remains.

"This software... was installed by you for me?" After ensuring that there was no problem with his dog's safety, John finally remembered about the Rockstar App.

As he said that, he took out his cell phone.

"No, I'm just the manager of the modification shop under this game platform. After you become a player, you can get rewards by completing tasks, and then buy vehicles and weapons from me."

"Have you seen the mall inside? What I sell here are the ones above."

John nodded in understanding.

"So, you were also the one who issued this mission to destroy the Russian gang?"

"Yes, can you handle it? If not, you can cooperate with other players and you can just calculate the profits among yourselves."

"I don't have much time to help you lately." Merlin yawned. He had been studying all night last night and he didn't have time to help.

"No need." John shook his head grimly. Even if there was no mission issued by Merlin, he would never spare the Russian gang.

Similarly, the leader of the Russian gang also targeted John. The person who was driving the Ford Mustang last night was his son, and he blamed John for his son's death.

He believed that only John, who was once ranked number one in the killer world, could do such a thing.

"It's up to you. I'll leave your dog here for observation for a while. If you want to stay longer, you can, but don't disturb my sleep."

After saying that, Merlin left the temporary reception hall with a tired face and returned to his own lounge.

John watched Merlin's back gradually disappear, then turned back to look at his dog. The feeling of regaining what he had lost made him unable to help but take it out of the cage.

"Sorry, sorry…"

...

…

When Merlin woke up, John was still there, petting his dog.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

After seeing Merlin, the beagle, which had been enjoying being petted, immediately started yelling at him angrily and even threatened to rush out and bite him.

But he was stopped by John.

"Picker!"

"Okay, okay, it's just sterilization for you. This is good for you and can help you prevent various troubles and diseases." Merlin said lazily as he passed by.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and Gwen should be waiting for me.

After washing up, he returned to the temporary reception hall again.

John hasn't left yet, obviously something's wrong.

"I want to buy some weapons from you, MK2 heavy sniper rifles and various types of special bullets, etc., as well as ballistic knives and MK2 heavy revolvers."

When Merlin came back after washing up, he told him what weapons he wanted to buy.

They are all special weapons. He wants to buy them for special occasions. Ordinary weapons are enough for him.

"Okay, come with me."

...

…

After sending John away with a determined look on his face, Merlin rode his motorcycle to find Gwen who was waiting for him next to Osborn Industries.

"Good evening." Merlin greeted weakly and sat down opposite him. Food was already prepared in front of him.

"Are you okay?" Gwen was a little worried when she saw Merlin's current condition.

"It's okay, I can still hold on."

Merlin, who had slept for a whole day, was a little hungry. Without saying anything, he sat opposite and picked up the sandwich and started eating.

Gwen smiled a little embarrassedly. After all, her genes had mutated and her physique had improved a lot, but the friend in front of her who she had grown up with was still an ordinary person. It was indeed a little uncomfortable to have her day and night reversed.

In order to avoid feeling uncomfortable, she picked up her phone to divert her attention.

"Huh? Merlin, look at the news. Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries, was attacked in Afghanistan and is now missing."

"There are many people gloating over other people's misfortunes."

Merlin took a sip of juice, then took the phone and looked at it.

[Tony Stark went to Afghanistan and was attacked by terrorists. His whereabouts are unknown and he is in great danger.]

[Obaday issued a statement that he was determined to find Tony Stark. ]

[The Ministry of National Defense issued a statement...]

[Parliament issued a statement warning Afghanistan...]

The entire Internet seemed to be about to explode, with all the news reporting that Tony Stark had been attacked by terrorists. All parties quickly issued statements, either resolute or condemning.

Below these news are mostly comments gloating over others' misfortune.

[The arms dealer was arrested. God must have been unable to bear it.]

[Death merchants spread death and will eventually die.]

[I suddenly feel that what the terrorists did was right, and it makes people happy. This way, refugees in war zones will suffer less in the future.]

...

Merlin looked at it for a moment and then lost interest. He had expected this to happen.

He was not too panicked about this and would probably take action in a few days.

The main thing now is to develop the serum as quickly as possible.

"Those people from Stark Industries and National Defense should be having a huge fight right now." Gwen didn't care too much. He didn't have many connections with Stark Industries and was just a bystander.

The two ordered a cup of coffee to refresh themselves. After waiting for a few hours, the sky darkened and the two began to walk towards Osborne Industries as they were familiar with the route.

...

…

Afghanistan, in an unknown Gobi cave.

Under the dim light, Stark, who was originally full of vigor and vitality, now looked pale and held a battery in his arms dejectedly like a homeless man.

Next to him was a thin, bespectacled Dr. Ethan.

He is able to survive now thanks to the other party's superb medical skills and brilliant ideas.

Fragments of the explosion were embedded in Stark's ventricular blood vessels. If it weren't for the battery made by Ethan that temporarily absorbed the fragments and flowed into the heart, no matter how strong Stark's vitality was, he would be unable to save himself.
