Alex's strength was three times greater than the Hulk's, yet his weight was much lighter. When he jumped, he didn't move like a lumbering beast but made full use of aerodynamics to reduce resistance, resulting in jumps that were far greater in distance and speed than the Hulk's.

With terrifying take-off power, Alex was like a cannonball, exploding with sonic booms in the air, jumping hundreds of kilometers. After several big jumps, Alex saw two fighters in the distance, appearing as big black spots.

"Tony, lower your altitude and guide the fighters down," Alex said.

"Got it!" Tony didn't hesitate. His suit folded around him, and he rushed down quickly.

The fighter planes thought the humanoid aircraft in front of them was trying to escape, so they quickly lowered their altitude to follow and attack. Airborne bullets as thick as fingers poured down from the sky, kicking up dust around Alex. On the ground, Alex didn't dodge or avoid, calculating the distance and speed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Two slender afterimages appeared in a flash.

"Boom...boom..." The spears hit the power compartments at the tail of the two fighter planes accurately. A large plume of black smoke erupted from the tails as the planes lost power and began to circle. The pilots had no choice but to eject to escape.

By the time the pilots landed, Tony and Alex had already disappeared without a trace. Soon, the rescue crew arrived and couldn't believe it when they saw the two spears embedded in the engines of the F-22 fighter jets. The sight was sent back to the base, and the base's general was so furious he cursed: "Are you kidding me? The F-22 was shot down by two spears? Are we going to war with primitive people? I want to see this in person!"

When he saw the wreckage of the fighter planes, everyone, including Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, became uneasy and looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

Spears! Simple spears embedded in the engines of the fighter planes. Black smoke was still rising. The contrast between the most advanced and the most primitive was extremely striking. Two of the most advanced F-22s were shot down by spears. Who would believe this?

Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes refused to give up and asked, "Who made these spears? Are they some kind of advanced tech?"

A technician shook his head after inspecting them. "Lieutenant Colonel, judging from their hardness and flexibility, I'm afraid they're just ordinary steel."

Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes sighed, "Oh my God, two F-22 fighter jets lost. The White House will definitely hear about this."

How can I write in the report that they were shot down by two ordinary spears? I can't write this report...

Back at the lab, Tony was in a much better mood. He had done something for Alex and was very happy. However, he did not know that Obadiah Stane, the Vice President of Stark Industries who secretly sold weapons, had become more determined to eliminate Tony after learning the news.

Obadiah Stane was an extremely smart man. He was originally Tony's father's partner and Tony's elder. He didn't hold many shares, but his ambitions were significant. Initially, Tony's energy was all spent on scientific research and women, and he was not very interested in company management, which allowed Obadiah to monopolize power.

Now, Tony had suddenly announced that he would shut down the weapons department, which had violated Obadiah's interests. However, as a small shareholder, he could not resist.

Alex knew the inside story but decided not to tell Tony unless asked, so as not to change the plot. After all, Tony and the others had nothing to lose in the original plot.

"Tony, I want a suit like yours," Alex said.

Tony replied, "You're so strong, what's the use of having a suit?"

"Flying," Alex explained. "Although I can jump very fast, I'm not as fast as your suit over long distances, and jumping around isn't exactly elegant."

Tony joked, "I didn't expect you to be a gentleman, Alex. But how could a gentleman force himself to live in someone else's home regardless of the owner's objections?"

"Haha, not only do I plan to stay for free, but I also want to take a suit for free. However, I don't want what you're wearing now. The Mark II is too backward. It's very inconvenient to wear and requires the assistance of several robotic arms."

Tony was speechless. Just now, Alex had taken out two F-22 fighters with a set of armor, and he actually called it outdated?

"Then what do you want?" Tony asked.

Alex thought for a moment. "First, it must be easy to wear and carry. Ideally, it shouldn't be bigger than a suitcase. If it can't be carried easily, it's meaningless to me. Jumping faster would be better. Second, it must enhance flight power. My body is stronger than yours and doesn't care about the gravity pressure caused by strong acceleration. The instantaneous acceleration can be very violent."

"It's not difficult to increase the power," Tony said. "I just need to upgrade the suit. But making it the size of a suitcase is a bit tricky. I might need some time."

"Then I'll wait for you. I believe you can do it."

Suitcase-sized suits were made in "Iron Man 2," and later there were stronger and more miniature nano-suits that could even challenge Thanos in a duel. However, even a genius like Iron Man needed time.

At that moment, Jarvis's AI voice came: "Sir, Miss Potts's phone was cut off. The last recording was her scream."

Pepper's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Notify Tony...ah..."

Tony's expression changed: "Oh no, Pepper has been discovered!"

"What happened?" Alex asked.

Tony pulled up some weapons photos. "The weapons I found in the Middle East last time were produced by our company, but I've clearly ordered the disbandment of the weapons department. There must be someone inside secretly selling weapons. So I sent Pepper to investigate. Unexpectedly, she was put in danger. Who could the mole be?"

Alex smiled. "Who else could it be? Think about it. In Stark Industries, who else can secretly sell weapons without you knowing?"

Tony was taken aback. "You mean Obadiah Stane, my father's partner, and the man who watched me grow up? Impossible!"

"As long as interests are involved, nothing is impossible. Just wait, and you'll have news soon."

"I can't wait. What will happen to Pepper? I have to save her right away."

"Don't worry, she won't be in danger until he gets what he wants. No...he's here."

As he said that, the surveillance showed a luxury car arriving outside Tony's mansion. The visitor was none other than Obadiah Stane.

"I'll leave you to face him alone. See his true face clearly."

With that, Alex disappeared from Tony's sight.

Obadiah came in, chatted casually with Tony, and asked insinuatingly about the reactor on Tony's chest. After Alex's warning, Tony was already on guard. He didn't mention Pepper's disappearance and only said the arc reactor was not perfect yet.

Obadiah made repeated insinuations, but when Tony refused to cooperate, he stopped pretending.

"Zzzz..." Suddenly, a harsh sound wave came out, and Tony immediately collapsed on the sofa.

Obadiah took out a small device and said, "This is the latest weapon, an ultrasonic screwdriver. It uses ultrasonic energy to cause muscle resonance and can paralyze an elephant instantly."

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Tony gasped.

Obadiah replied, "Originally, I wanted to wait for you to perfect the arc reactor before taking action, and I never thought about killing you. But you absolutely should not have sent Pepper to investigate me. I had no choice but to act sooner."

With that, he opened Tony's shirt, twisted the micro-reactor inside to the right, and pulled it out.

Tony lost his energy source. His heartbeat suddenly stopped, his lung activity ceased, and he began to struggle for breath.

Obadiah held the arc reactor and said with intoxication, "What a masterpiece. This will be your most outstanding legacy, Tony. The king of weapons for a new generation! With it as a power source, our company's weapons can be sold worldwide. Everyone who uses our suit must buy it as their power source. Our company will become the center of world power. Hahaha... It's a pity you can't see it."

He put the arc reactor into a suitcase and walked away.

Tony's body, affected by the ultrasonic screwdriver, had not yet recovered. His heart had lost power, and he lacked the strength to get up.

Alex slowly appeared.

Tony held on and smiled bitterly, "Are you... prepared to watch me die?"

"I thought you'd get up on your own; there's a prototype arc reactor downstairs."

"I...I...can't move."

In the original plot, Tony climbed to the downstairs laboratory alone and, with the help of a robotic arm, installed the prototype arc reactor. But something went wrong, and Tony couldn't move. Knowing that Alex was in front of him, his motivation to survive wasn't as strong.

Tony's face turned more and more purple. Alex couldn't afford to think more.

Stomping on the ground with a "boom," a big hole opened, and Tony and the sofa fell directly into the underground laboratory.

Looking around, Alex quickly spotted a prototype arc reactor decorated by Pepper. He directly crushed the glass shell and installed it for Tony.

"Hiss..." Tony took a long breath and gradually recovered.

At the same time, there was a "ding" in Alex's mind.

"Save one life and receive one bottle of recovery potion."

Alex was a little surprised. Judging from the system's judgment, if he hadn't helped, Tony would have really died. The impact of the butterfly effect cannot be ignored.

Tony looked at Alex strangely. "How come you know everything? If I didn't know that you're so powerful that there's no need for you to play these conspiracies, I would suspect that you're the mastermind behind it."
