"What's going on?" Justin Hammer rushed to the backstage area, still confused about what had just happened.

"The software has been rewritten," a technician sitting at the computer said.

"What?" Justin Hammer couldn't react for a moment. "What does that mean?"

"He's controlling the Iron Soldiers!" the technician said.

"That's impossible!" Justin Hammer ordered, "Call the security guards."

"The phone lines have been cut."

"Then call their cell phones."

"The cell phones have no signal."

From this scene, it is clear that Justin Hammer is unaware of Ivan Vanko's plan to assassinate Tony Stark.

"What an idiot! He foolishly released him from prison and ended up being manipulated!" Tony Stark scornfully criticized within the mindspace.

"Your opponent is an idiot. Shouldn't you be happy?" Thor's opinion of Justin Hammer was now similar to Tony Stark's. "It's better to have an idiot as an opponent than a smart person, right?"

"First of all, I have shut down the weapons division and no longer deal with weapons, so that jumping clown can't be considered my competitor," Tony Stark raised a finger, then raised a second finger. "Furthermore, even when Stark Industries was still selling weapons, I never considered Justin Hammer as a rival. I didn't consider anyone as a rival. I only did one thing, which is to make my own products."

"With Stark's technological level, it's true that you don't need to consider anyone as a rival," Steve Rogers, though sometimes thinking that Tony Stark was arrogant and narcissistic, recognized his talent. "Leaving that aside, just this Iron Man suit alone is enough to crush anyone."

"We are blocked from the mainframe." While the group was chatting happily, Justin Hammer in the video was not in a cheerful mood. His technicians reported another bad situation.

"Who blocked you from the mainframe?" Pepper Potts walked in swiftly, followed by Natasha Romanoff, whose charm was only second to Loki.

"Please leave, please leave!" Justin Hammer expressed disgust. "I can handle it! If Iron Man doesn't show up, none of this would have happened! So please leave!"

Natasha Romanoff wasn't as gentle when she got things done. She went up and directly pressed Justin Hammer onto the table.

"Tell me who's behind this!" Natasha Romanoff said in a low voice.

"Ivan, Ivan Vanko," Justin Hammer obediently admitted.

This was a case of a bully who was afraid of strong opponents. He was tough when facing Pepper Potts but directly surrendered when facing someone stronger like Natasha Romanoff.

After learning from Justin Hammer that Ivan Vanko was in his company, Natasha Romanoff immediately went there.

On the other side, Tony Stark was still fighting James Rhodes and the Iron Soldiers in the night sky.

After being Iron Man for so long, Tony Stark had accumulated extensive experience in aerial combat. He single-handedly dealt with the pursuing Iron Soldiers using the city's buildings and terrain, eliminating them all.

Natasha Romanoff also reached Justin Hammer's company, easily taking down the security personnel, but Ivan Vanko had already escaped.

However, it wasn't a wasted trip. Natasha Romanoff remotely reactivated James Rhodes' armor.

Dadadada!

On the other side, James Rhodes was lying on top of Tony Stark, fiercely firing the large gun at him.

"Tony~" James Rhodes shouted while shooting.

Tony Stark grabbed the gun that was shooting at him and threw James Rhodes away.

At that moment, the armor rebooted, and James Rhodes broke free from Ivan Vanko's control.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tony Stark and James Rhodes had just settled their differences when the Iron Soldiers controlled by Ivan Vanko landed once again.

Before, even with the Iron Soldiers and James Rhodes, they couldn't do anything to Tony Stark. Now that James Rhodes had "defected" and stood by Tony Stark's side, the Iron Soldiers were even less of a threat. It didn't take long for the two of them to eliminate all the soldiers.

After all the pawns were defeated, Ivan Vanko, who had been hiding behind the scenes, had to take action himself.

He piloted a larger suit of armor than Tony Stark and James Rhodes'.

Moreover, he was holding an electric whip!

"How obsessed can a person be with a whip?" Tony Stark couldn't help but ridicule. "You've put on armor, but you're still using a whip to attack me? Then what's the point of wearing armor?"

Undoubtedly, with such limited intelligence, Ivan Vanko couldn't be a match for Tony Stark and James Rhodes. He self-destructed on the spot.

"Is Ivan Vanko still in prison?" After the video ended, Steve Rogers asked.

"Yes, Nick Fury personally handled it," Tony Stark said.

"No matter where Nick Fury has imprisoned him, I think it's better to reassign him," Steve Rogers said. "He possesses the technology of the Arc Reactor, and there are surely many people who have their eyes on him."

"Don't worry, Captain, I will take care of it." This time, Tony Stark didn't reveal his true thoughts to Steve Rogers. His "taking care of it" and his previous statement of "never coming out again" meant that he intended to end Ivan Vanko's life.

This person repeatedly attempted to assassinate him and went on a rampage, causing chaos and disregarding civilian lives in the city. He deserved to die.

Tony Stark was not a person who showed mercy! Not only Ivan Vanko, but he also had no intention of letting Justin Hammer off the hook.

Of course, everything Justin Hammer did was for the armor, and he didn't intend to kill Tony Stark. So Tony Stark would spare Justin Hammer's life, but he would spend the rest of his life in prison! Letting him stay outside was annoying, as he would always be fixated on the Iron Man suit and causing trouble.

Tony Stark believed that Nick Fury, the head of intelligence, shared his views.

However, Steve Rogers was too upright and noble, and it wasn't suitable to share these thoughts with him.
