25: God Bless Wolverine

At the Expo, Iron Man and Whiplash finally confronted each other.

Upon hearing Justin Hammer's words, Ivan Vanko was somewhat surprised. This fool, who had been manipulated by him from beginning to end, should hate him to death by now, right?

Why did he still seem eager to confront him? Could it be that the stimulation had driven him mad?

Although doubts arose in Ivan's mind, he paid them no heed. In his line of sight, there was only one person...

The man in the red armor.

"Tony Stark, you won't be going anywhere today!"

Ivan fixed his murderous gaze on Tony with his sharp falcon-like eyes. "I wanted you to witness the Iron Soldiers I developed, but these mutants destroyed them. So... I'll personally meet you instead!"

"I know the live broadcast is still ongoing, so today, in front of the whole world, I will make you, a shameless thief, pay with your blood!"

Tony felt a shiver down his spine.

The last time they crossed paths at the racetrack, he had shown mercy to this guy. Who would have thought that he would resurface today, specifically luring him into a confrontation?

And he kept insisting that his reactor technology had been stolen.

How could Tony tolerate such accusations?

Tony was never one to hold back!

"I stole your xxx!"

He quipped on the spot and activated the new armor without a moment's hesitation. The new reactor showcased even more energy than before.

Witnessing Iron Man's lightning-fast speed, everyone present felt as though a flash of red light had struck Ivan Vanko!

Ivan didn't even have time to react as he was lifted into the sky. Within moments, they became two small specks in the distance.

"Give me three minutes to deal with him!"

Tony's voice echoed from afar. He was well aware that this location wasn't suitable for a battle and intended to take the fight with Whiplash to a more secluded area.

Whiplash seethed with fury, muttering, "How dare you look down on me..."

His voice quickly faded away.

Thousands of people exchanged glances.

The sudden turn of events interrupted the previous proceedings. The father of the rescued boy looked back at Logan, observing that his condition was deteriorating. It seemed as though he was struggling to breathe!

"We can't wait for Stark to show up. We must get him to the hospital immediately!"

Amidst the crowd, a stunningly beautiful woman with fiery red hair and an explosive figure rushed forward, exclaiming, "My car is right outside. Let's get him inside..."

"Hurry!"

Storm and Cyclops exchanged glances, searching for Lynn.

Jean Grey had already taken action.

Activating her telekinetic powers, Logan's body levitated and, under her guidance, swiftly made its way towards the exit.

Everyone quickly made way.

This scene was captured by the live broadcast cameras, freezing the image for countless pairs of eyes to witness. Wherever Logan passed, the blood dripping from his body formed a crimson trail on the ground!

The eyes of the onlookers reddened one after another.

"God... bless him!"

...

The appearance of the red-haired beauty surprised Lynn.

"Black Widow..."

He had obtained all the invitations that Tony had received, so Pepper Potts didn't attend the expo.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Black Widow, who was Tony's personal assistant, had come covertly.

She had clearly been monitoring the situation's development and it wasn't surprising that she appeared now. Most likely, she had received an order from S.H.I.E.L.D.

The events of tonight would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar, especially the sudden emergence of themutants, who had become the center of attention for the audience.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to uncover the truth, they would need to establish contact.

Taking the initiative to transport Logan to the hospital was a good way to accomplish that, wasn't it?

"Lynn, Tony... do you want to go and see?" Kitty asked softly.

Lynn shook his head without hesitation.

"That's Tony's personal matter. They should handle it themselves."

His eyes were clear and calm, as if he could see through everything. "Without those iron soldiers and war machines, Whiplash... is just another stepping stone to Iron Man's reputation."

While speaking, he shifted his gaze and locked onto Justin Hammer on the stage.

"Mr. Hammer is the true protagonist tonight."

Taking advantage of everyone's diverted attention, this prominent arms dealer was quietly and slowly retreating at the moment, evidently attempting to leave unnoticed.

How could Lynn let him get what he wanted?

"Although the Confusion Curse is only a second-level spell, it can still be quite effective..."

Accompanied by his laughter, a team of heavily armed NYPD agents emerged through the entrance gate and headed straight for Justin Hammer.

"Mr. Hammer, the NYPD invites you to come for a chat over coffee and explain what happened tonight!"

Justin Hammer staggered.

And then collapsed to the ground.

...

Meanwhile, Natasha, the Black Widow, stepped on the accelerator, showcasing driving skills on par with a professional racer.

Logan, who was "gravely injured," lay unconscious in the back seat.

Jean Grey and the others followed closely behind in another car.

"Gentlemen..."

Natasha began speaking, only to realize that Logan wasn't responding at all. She relaxed as a result.

Nick Fury's voice came through her earpiece, "Natasha, take him directly to the nearest Facility Three base. Level Five agent Jemma Simmons is already on standby there. She's our best doctor and biologist."

"Understood!"

Natasha swiftly replied, "Even if we can't save his life, I can still use this opportunity to establish contact with the other three!"

"That's right. It's definitely not a coincidence that these mutants appeared at the expo. I want to know their purpose!"

Nick Fury's voice was resolute.

After a brief pause, he added, "I've already asked Coulson to lead the team. If this mutant should perish and you can't gain their trust, we must at least ensure... that his body is preserved!"

Upon hearing this statement, Natasha's eyes trembled intensely.
