"An energy weapon?"
Tony saw the blue glow in the enemy's pistol and frowned. "That looks bad..."
Wuenn～——!!
Blue light clashed with blue light———
Pop～!
It didn't last long before both energies dispersed...
"We're screwed!"
Tony didn't know the enemy was aiming to capture them alive, and his pupils shrank in fear. "Quick! Stephen, the scepter!"
He immediately grabbed the Mind Scepter from Strange's arms and pointed it at the Hydra squad, shouting———
"Magi-c!!"
Clatter clatter...
The Hydra soldiers instinctively ducked.
But the scepter didn't react.....
Tony and the soldiers were both stunned...
"Run!"
Strange seized the moment and bolted!
"Hey, buddy, wait for me!"
Tony quickly followed him.
As he ran, he smacked the scepter in his hands. "Why isn't this thing working? Didn't Loki shoot out energy blasts with a biu?"
"Try again!"
Not giving up, Mr. Stark pointed the scepter at the pursuers again— "Laser!"
Wuen~
This time, the staff glowed a bit brighter, emitting a humming sound.
Tony was thrilled.
The chasing soldiers quickly ducked again—
They had intel on the scepter; it was one of their mission targets. It could control minds and shoot energy blasts—it was dangerous...
But.
The Mind Staff only glowed for a moment.
Then it stopped working again...
"Tony, get in the car!"
At this moment, Strange shouted.
He had already reached a sports car.
This car, like Ye Li's Vinica, had been transported by plane.
Stephen's hands were crippled, so he couldn't drive. He had to call Tony, the experienced driver.
Click.
Tony opened the door and jumped into the driver's seat, tossing the scepter to Strange. "I was this close to figuring out how to use it."
Strange urged, "Whatever—just go!"
Stark started the engine: "Time to show off my real skills!———"
Bang!
Just then, a bullet shattered the rearview mirror into pieces.
"F**k!"
Tony cursed, abandoning his swagger, and skillfully peeled out————
Vroooom—Rumble rumble rumble!
The sports car sped off, carrying the two of them away.
But the Hydra soldiers had jumped into military vehicles and gave chase.
They occasionally fired shots at the sports car———
Clang! Clang!
Hearing the continuous gunfire around him, Tony felt the thrill. "Let me think—the last time I had a car chase like this was in Monaco!"
Hearing that, Strange's face darkened instantly: "Don't bring that up, Tony! You used all your brain on IQ, none on EQ, huh?"
That Monaco race was when he wrecked his hands.
Tony: "You're no better—you even drove your girlfriend away."
Stephen: "Palmer is not my girlfriend!"
"Don't be mad, Stephen. Technically, I did beat Ivan Vanko and got revenge for you."
Beep———
Just as the two bickering friends were arguing.
Tony's bracelet gave a signal, finally bringing him relief. "Oh, my baby's here."
He had deliberately driven in this direction to receive the Mark 7 signal—
Boomennn~——~
A golden-red pod flew in from the distance.
Skreee——
Tony slammed on the brakes, skidding the car sideways in the middle of the road. He opened the door and ran toward his suit. "Stephen, cover me!"
"Hey! What am I supposed to cover you with?"
Strange turned his head to look———
And saw that the Hydra soldiers had already caught up.....
He instantly ducked down, poked the Mind Scepter out, and whispered a prayer. "Buddy, buddy, I'm begging you....."
Wuen~en.....
As if it heard Strange's call,
the Mind Scepter glowed brighter and brighter....
Finally, to his astonishment, it fired a blue energy beam!
En~en———Boom!!
A Hydra vehicle exploded on the spot.
"Whoa... cool...."
Stephen, who had always been a healer, found himself feeling joy over someone's demise for the first time.
"So, this is the power of magic..."
At that moment.
His pursuit of magic was no longer just about healing his hands—he was now genuinely intrigued.
Click click click——
Tony successfully donned his armor.
Peng——~!
Flame boosters ignited.
He shot into the air above the Hydra team, all weapons deployed, and unleashed his firepower———
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the barrage, Hydra's strike team began to falter, losing over ten men and three vehicles in the assault.
"Iron Man...."
The squad captain gritted his teeth but still ordered his men to keep engaging———
Even if they couldn't capture Tony Stark, they had to stall him to buy time for there other operation!
