A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 182 Ivan Vanko
"Wow, this gravitonium is amazing!" Tony exclaimed excitedly to Levi beside him as he stood on the ceiling in the laboratory.

"So, can we weaponize it? If we can miniaturize it, we can basically roam freely in most parts of the universe!" Li Wei said, seeing how excited he was.

Graviton allows people to control the powerful force of gravity, but injecting graviton directly into the body, as depicted in American TV shows, is a very risky thing.

With good luck, he might become the next Wanli Wang; with bad luck, well, that's another story.

However, it would be much more convenient if we could use instruments and equipment to manufacture gravitonium into weapons that could locally control gravity.

But that will depend on Stark's efforts.

“No problem, but it will take a little time!” Tony nodded.

"Then I'll leave this place to you?" Li Wei said.

“Of course, no one can compare to me in this regard, but from what you're saying, what are you going to do next?” Tony blinked and asked Levi.

“There are still many potential threats in this world. Before we leave Earth, I will do as much as I can,” Li Wei nodded and said.

"Hey, man, relax a bit. I think you've been a little too tense lately," Tony said to Levi with some concern.

Since the Battle of S.H.I.E.L.D., Levi has never let his guard down.

They are constantly dealing with the "mess" left behind by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, they gained a lot in the process, but Tony still felt that Levi was putting too much pressure on himself.

"Don't worry, everything is under my control. Besides, your task isn't easy either. S.H.I.E.L.D. has so many research projects that you have to screen and improve. I can't just sit idly by either," Li Wei said, patting him on the shoulder.

There are just too many plot holes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he tries his best to resolve the smaller ones that he knows might have a negative impact.

084 from S.H.I.E.L.D., Gravitonium, and so on, are just the beginning.

He wouldn't casually touch a truly deep pit now.

“Okay, be careful,” Tony nodded and said.

Just as Li Wei said, he didn't get much rest after the S.H.I.E.L.D. incident.

However, unlike the physical weakness caused by overwork in the original timeline, they now possess superhuman physiques and are far from reaching their limits in the face of their current workload.

After leaving Tony's laboratory, Levi, along with several Winter Soldiers, arrived in a small town in Siberia and found an extremely shabby apartment building.

Upon arriving at one of the apartments, Li Wei knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

"Who are you looking for?" As Li Wei felt the peeping through the peephole of the door, a voice in Russian asked from inside.

"Are you Ivan Vanko?" Levi asked in English, undoubtedly in this cheap apartment.
He knew that both Vanke's father and son spoke English.

"Who are you?" After a brief silence, the question came again from inside the door, this time in English.

“I’m from the Alliance!” Li Wei answered directly.

With the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D. now fully public, the existence of the Alliance is no longer a secret.

However, until now, the outside world only knows that the League exists and that its leader is Iron Man Tony Stark.

The composition of the alliance's membership is unclear.

The five bosses learned of Levi and his group's existence because of their previous meeting with S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, they won't deliberately publicize it, especially the existence of Captain America... even though Captain America isn't actually a member of the league.

A living medal, known to the outside world, is not a good thing for them. Upon hearing Li Wei identify himself as being from the Alliance, a commotion immediately arose in the room.

Knowing what Ivan Vanko was doing inside, Li Wei sighed helplessly.

With a tap of his finger on the door, the apartment door shattered instantly.

Meanwhile, inside the apartment, Ivan Vanko was putting on a suit similar to the one he wore when he first appeared in Iron Man 2.

However, Li Wei could tell that this was only a half-finished product.

Clearly, because Tony became Iron Man too early, Ivan Vanko also began preparing for his path of revenge ahead of time.

However, the progress may not be as fast due to limitations.

After all, in terms of circumstances, Ivan Vanko wasn't much better off than Tony was when he was captured in the original timeline.

After all, when Tony was captured in the original timeline, he had access to other Stark Industries weapons, such as Jericho missiles, so there were actually quite a few usable raw materials; he just had to dismantle them himself.

But at least one thing that had the biggest impact on Tony was his physical health.

Ivan Vanko, on the other hand, was so poor that he had to scavenge for materials at garbage dumps or steal them from factories.

Anyway, it's impossible to buy it with money.

Because there was simply no money.

On the bed in the corner of the room, a seriously ill old man looked at the intruders, Li Wei and his group, with fear. He was Ivan's father, Howard's former assistant, Anton Vanke.

He wasn't dead yet at this point in time.

Li Wei raised his hand and shot out an ice arrow, which directly blasted the reactor on Ivan Vanko's suit to pieces.

That's the good thing about the Arc Reactor; even if it's damaged, it won't explode, making it very safe.

“Stark’s lackey…” Ivan Vanko cursed angrily as he saw Levi destroy his hard work with a single move.

This sentence really infuriated Li Wei.

Swinging your arm is a transformation technique.

Then Anton Vanke saw his son turn into a little penguin, running around aimlessly.

"I heard you've been telling him that Howard Stark stole your research?" Levi asked the old man as he approached Anton Vanke's bedside.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Anton Vanke said, his gaze darting away.

"So you didn't tell him that the origin technology of the Arc Reactor came from the Cosmic Cube, from Hydra?" Li Wei glanced at the little penguin and continued to ask Anton Vanke.

Although the Ark Reactor is indeed, on the surface, the research results of Howard and Anton Vanke.

However, if we really trace the origins, we can find that the technology of the Arc Reactor actually comes from the research results of the Cosmic Cube.

The same applies to the new elements Howard left for Tony.

Given Anton Vanke's status and position in the United States at the time (a Russian scientist who defected), he was not qualified to access the Tesseract - even within S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time, no more than five people were qualified to access and study the Tesseract.

Therefore, from this perspective, it is illogical to say that the Ark Reactor was a result of Anton Vanke that Howard stole.

"Lies, these are all lies." At this moment, Ivan Vanko, who had transformed back into human form, angrily rebuked again, clearly unwilling to believe what Levi had said. "Besides, we've never even heard of the Cosmic Cube."

"Whether it's a lie or not, only your father knows best. But I'm not here to argue with you about this. I'm here to give you a choice. To tell you the truth, Tony had no idea I was coming," Levi said, looking at the two of them.
