Chaos at the Speedway

Ivan followed his father's last wish and came to settle accounts with Tony Stark.
Ivan is very smart and particular about where he goes on the track. This is a straight road. The racing driver can see him from a distance and has enough time to avoid him. As long as he is a normal person, he will definitely turn the steering wheel and slow down; it is unlikely that he will hit him directly.
Fire slowly emerged from Ivan's body, and several fire snakes burned through the yellow protective clothing on his body, turning the clothes into strips of cloth that fell off. With a flick of his hands, two electric whips were thrown out from the exoskeleton device.
Ivan does not have the resources of Tony Stark, but he has the same genius mind. Not only did he make a miniature Arc Reactor like Tony, but he also used a few materials to make an exoskeleton and electric whips, which not only have a certain degree of protection but also maximize his attack power.
Ivan looked at a car rushing towards him and said contemptuously, "I said, stop!"
"Bang!"
A flash of fire erupted as a high-energy electric whip lashed out, slicing the entire front of the F1 car. The car lost control, rolled, and hit the guardrail next to it. With a "boom," a fireball exploded. Spectators who were closer started screaming and running away.
A real man never looks at the explosion behind him. Ivan kept his eyes fixed on the front. Tony Stark's car was approaching!
Tony hadn't reacted in the mere ten seconds since Ivan stepped onto the track. By the time he hit the brakes, it was already too late. Ivan waved at Tony, and the electric whip struck. The car was neatly cut in half from the front to the rear, and Tony jumped out of the car in an emergency. Fortunately, the speed had already been reduced, otherwise, this jump might have cost him his life. The cars behind them all slowed down. Otherwise, Tony might not have been killed by Ivan's electric whip but could have been hit by a car from behind.
Ivan was in hot pursuit, and Tony had to use the wreckage of the car to escape.
"Hahahahahaha, Tony Stark, aren't you Iron Man? Why are you acting like a turtle? Come on, fight me!"
Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan stood up nervously at the VIP table. Pepper said, "Happy, give Tony the red suitcase."
The red suitcase that Happy had been carrying had a chain disguised as a glove locked on his wrist. He thrust it into Alex's arms and said, "This is the suit, give it to Tony quickly."
Alex was speechless. Are Happy and Pepper so lazy now? In the original plot, they ignored the danger, drove toward Ivan, handed over the suit to Tony in time, and finally subdued Ivan. Now they entrust the task to Alex without even thinking about it. They are really not polite at all.
"Happy, aren't you Tony's bodyguard? Don't be so lazy."
Before Happy could answer, Pepper was about to cry. She shook Alex's arm and said, "Tony can't hold it anymore. Come on, come on, save him."
Alex had no choice but to take the suitcase and pull off the stainless steel chain tied to Happy's hand. He turned to Natasha Romanoff and said, "I'll be right back. You should protect the two of them and don't let anyone take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble."
"Yeah," Natasha nodded seriously. The heroic-looking Natasha was particularly attractive. Alex couldn't help but give her a "chirp" and kissed her on the forehead, then jumped out of the VIP seat.
With Alex taking action, Pepper and Happy stopped worrying and began to look at Natasha jokingly, making her blush slightly. "What are you looking at?"
Pepper asked, "Are you sure we've only known each other for a few days? Why do you feel like you've known each other for a long time, like an old couple?"
Since she is not involved with Tony, Pepper has no hostility towards Natasha at all, and their relationship has been upgraded from colleagues to best friends in an instant.
"Yes," Happy said, "You don't like the handsome and rich Tony, but I didn't expect you to choose Alex."
Natasha didn't know how to answer. Although she and Alex didn't meet at Tony's house, even counting the days in the City of God, they haven't known each other for long, and most of the time, they still disguised their identities. But it does feel like we've known each other for a long time, and Natasha doesn't know why she feels this way.
Back to Tony and Ivan.
The last piece of car wreckage was smashed into pieces by Ivan. Tony had no way to hide and was about to be struck down by the electric whip. At that moment, a gust of wind passed by, and the red suitcase flew over, deflecting the electric whip and saving Tony's life.
"Tony, leave him to you. I'll save the others."
"No problem!"
Tony pressed his hands on the suitcase and pulled it upward. Suddenly, the red suitcase opened up layer by layer and turned into a set of gold and red suits, attaching to Tony's body. This is Iron Man!
With the blessing of the suit, Tony could finally fight back. Surrounded by a dense crowd, Tony did not dare to use bullets and micro-missiles. If they missed the target, it would be easy to accidentally injure someone, so he moved forward to fight Ivan.
Unexpectedly, Ivan's exoskeleton looked simple, but it had high combat power. For a moment, lightning flashed as the two fought back and forth. The electric whip struck the steel suit, leaving scars like electric welding, but it never broke through the suit's protection. Not only did the people in the audience not evacuate, but they watched with great interest, cheering loudly from time to time, which made Alex frown and secretly complain.
Is this the difference in culture and the reason why there are so few foreigners?
Seeing that he could not attack for long, Ivan was secretly anxious. He spotted an opportunity and tightly wrapped two electric whips around Tony's neck. The strong electric field "sizzled" and corroded the armor. Tony struggled for a moment but found that he couldn't break free and was secretly shocked.
The power of this electric whip was seen by all just now. With one whip, it could cut a racing car in half. Although his armor defense is advanced, the two whips were wrapped around his neck. If he couldn't break free, it would be difficult to say if it took a long time. The armor at the neck is the weakest point of the suit. If it is penetrated by erosion, it will be cut off immediately.
Since he couldn't break free, he might as well hunt and kill directly. Tony's hands were wrapped with electric whips, and he twisted them step by step. His suit splashed with countless sparks, and he approached Ivan.
Back with Happy, Natasha, and Pepper. Pepper Potts said anxiously, "Why isn't Alex helping Tony? I'm afraid Tony can't withstand it. With his strength, he could knock the evil man down with one punch."
She only cared about the safety of Tony Stark and did not consider the lives of the passers-by, who were being attended to by medical staff.
Natasha Romanoff smiled slightly, "He doesn't like fighting."
Natasha remembered when she first met Alex, she discovered that he had been running a flower shop for many years. A man with such great strength, willing to be ordinary and take care of flowers and plants, must have a very peaceful heart.
If it weren't for him, she thought he wouldn't have left there. However, she felt a little annoyed remembering that Alex had known her true identity for a long time but did not expose her, instead going along with the situation to marry her.
Meanwhile, Tony Stark had already forced Ivan Vanko back, thrusting his hands into Ivan's chest and tearing off the Arc Reactor of Ivan's exoskeleton.
Tony smiled, "You were too careless and forgot to protect the Arc Reactor."
Ivan didn't care, "Really? Take another look."
The "sizzling" sound of the electric whips continued, clearly indicating that the power had not disappeared. Tony was shocked and immediately understood that Ivan was equipped with dual power sources, with the other one likely hidden on his back. By this time, the armor on Tony's neck was nearly eroded. If he didn't find a way out, his head would soon fall off.
"Alex, help! Help!"
Despite the humor in Tony's voice, anyone would think it was a joke. But Alex knew that Tony, who cherished his pride, would not ask for help unless absolutely necessary. He didn't have time to ponder why Tony hadn't defeated Ivan as he did in the original plot.
Several flashes appeared between the two combatants. The electric whips had entangled Tony and Ivan, making them inseparable. Alex grabbed the electric whips with both hands, and a "sizzling" sound accompanied by black smoke rose. Tony could even smell the scent of burning flesh through his mask.
"How is that possible?" Ivan couldn't believe it. How could a flesh-and-blood body directly grasp the electric whips?
Alex exerted force towards Ivan, pulling hard, and tore the electric whips off.
Tony breathed a sigh of relief, escaping the crisis of beheading. Without the electric whips, Ivan was just a toothless tiger. Tony quickly suppressed him, pressed him to the ground, and dug out the Arc Reactor from his back. Ivan was completely defeated.
"Iron Man... Iron Man... Iron Man..."
The audience, oblivious to the true details, cheered. They only saw Iron Man completing the final blow, ignoring Alex's critical help.
Originally, they just came to watch the race, but they didn't expect to see Tony Stark driving himself and staging such a spectacular battle, making the ticket price well worth it.
Alex was speechless about the Western audience's mentality. They didn't seem to care about the danger as long as it was exciting.
No wonder there are always spectators during super battles, and superheroes always have an endless number of people to save.
Soon, security personnel dragged Ivan away. Ivan shouted to Tony from a distance, "Tony, what you and your father owe me, I will definitely get it back, hahahahahahahaha..."
