Chapter 39: Attack at the Race Track

(Vote Plz...)

"When did you hire her?" In the video, Pepper Potts asked Tony Stark while Natasha Romanoff was busy with the photographer.

"What? Hire her?" Just that one word changed Tony Stark's expression.

Initially, he thought Nick Fury had only sent Natasha Romanoff to get close to him, but in the reality that didn't appear in the question space, he actually hired her!

Why would a billionaire like him hire a spy, an agent?

"You look beautiful," Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff conversed as they walked.

"Thank you for the compliment," Natasha Romanoff replied.

"What's the schedule for the next event?" Tony Stark asked.

"There's a dinner appointment at 9:30."

"Perfect, we'll leave at 11."

Indeed, the conversation between himself and Natasha Romanoff in the video confirmed Tony Stark's suspicions.

Based on the displayed relationship in the video, Natasha Romanoff seemed to be playing the role of his secretary, while Natasha Romanoff was clearly not a secretary. However, this non-secretary secretary became his secretary.

She was an undercover agent!

Natasha Romanoff, disguised as his secretary, was undercover by his side!

"Nick Fury, you've really crossed the line by reaching into my personal life!" Tony Stark expressed his anger.

"Stark, it's true that Director Fury initially planned to have Romanoff go undercover with you," Phil Coulson explained to Tony Stark, seeing his infuriated expression. "But in the end, he didn't send Romanoff. Rest assured, Romanoff shouldn't be in the United States anymore. She won't be undercover with you."

"The reason Romanoff didn't come undercover is because she coincidentally got involved in the question space, and I found out about her identity," Tony Stark wasn't easily fooled. "Nick Fury would never be foolish enough to send someone I know inside. He must have sent someone else!"

"At least I haven't heard of Director Fury having such a plan."

"Coulson, when you go back, please tell the egghead to immediately withdraw the undercover agent by my side! That way, I can pretend it never happened!" Tony Stark coldly warned, "If I discover it myself, don't blame me for not being merciful!"

"Okay, I'll deliver the message," Phil Coulson said. "I'll ensure it's conveyed exactly, even with your annoying tone."

The video continued, and Tony Stark had changed into a racing suit, walking towards the race track surrounded by the crowd.

Then the camera shifted to Pepper Potts, who was sitting at a table near the window, looking at the menu. Suddenly, she saw Tony Stark, dressed in a racing suit, on the big screen in front of her.

"Natalie! Natalie!" Pepper Potts immediately called out.

"Miss Potts?" Natasha Romanoff approached and quickly explained, "I just found out too."

"He can't race!" Pepper Potts said.

"I understand. How can I help you?" Natasha Romanoff asked.

"Where's Happy?"

"He's outside."

"Go find him. I need Happy."

"I'll go right away."

This conversation further confirmed that Natasha Romanoff played the role of a secretary or something similar to Tony Stark, otherwise Pepper Potts wouldn't treat her like a subordinate.

In the video, Tony Stark sat in the race car, wearing a helmet, and the engine roared continuously.

As the lights on the race track turned on, all the cars shot forward like arrows.

Meanwhile, in the spectator area, a middle-aged man with long hair and wearing maintenance overalls casually walked, toothpick in his mouth.

"That person must be Ivan Vanko!" Tony Stark stared fixedly at his face.

"It's definitely him! His face looks just like Anton Vanko," Phil Coulson said.

Ivan Vanko strolled leisurely and suddenly left the spectator area, entering the race track.

He discarded his helmet, then pulled open his shirt, revealing an Arc Reactor on his chest that caught everyone's attention!

Then Ivan Vanko shook his hands, and two whips appeared, crackling with electricity.

The work clothes on Ivan Vanko's body were also burned into tatters by the electricity, revealing a mechanical device resembling a vest.

"He actually created an Arc Reactor as well." In the question space, Tony Stark glanced at Ivan Vanko's chest and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes. "But what kind of equipment is that? It looks so crude and rough!"

Indeed, compared to Tony Stark's Mark armor, Ivan Vanko's equipment was incredibly rudimentary.

However, this crude attire was not without power.

Ivan Vanko swung his electric whips and struck a passing race car, causing its metal body to slice apart like tofu! In an instant, the car was split in two, and it tumbled in the air like an Olympic diver before crashing to the ground.

Whoever was inside, they wouldn't survive.

Pepper Potts, watching this scene on the big screen, wore a worried expression. But when she turned her head, she saw Happy standing nearby, holding a red box in his hand.

"This is bad!" Phil Coulson's expression changed slightly. "Ivan Vanko's weapons are not something ordinary people can handle, and unfortunately, this is the moment when the armor is not by our side."

"Stark, you've really been careless," Clint Barton added. "Even without this Ivan Vanko, do you know how many people in this world want you dead? And yet you allow the armor to be absent in a public place?"

"This won't happen again in the future," Tony Stark's expression also turned grim.

Because just like in the video, he didn't personally bring the armor with him. It was being kept by Happy.

But fortunately, he knew in advance that Ivan Vanko would attack. Comparing the video with reality, Tony Stark still had some time before Ivan Vanko would make a move, giving him ample time to retrieve the armor from Happy.

That was finally some good news.

In the video, Happy and Pepper Potts drove, attempting to deliver the armor to Tony Stark, who remained unaware of the demon waiting for him ahead.

As he drove past Ivan Vanko, Ivan swung his electric whip, striking Tony Stark's race car.

The entire front of the car was instantly sliced off, and the car somersaulted into the air.
