Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel

Chapter 419 Maya Hansen's Explanation

After some searching, Xu Shangqi found a lot of Tony's old Mark series suits in his collection, but they were damaged by the explosion. After opening the mask, he found no trace of Tony. Even under some building wreckage, Xu Shangqi used the power of the dragon to lift it up, but still could not find Tony.

Seeing that there was no trace of Tony, Xu Shangqi felt relieved. As long as the body was not found, the possibility of Tony Stark being alive was very high.

At this moment, John Wick drove to the scene, and as soon as Smith Doyle got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters.

"God, are you also here to confirm the death of your friend Tony Stark?"

"What do you think about his attack this time?"

"Will the Avengers declare war on the Mandarin over Iron Man's death?"

All the reporters at the scene gathered together and surrounded Smith Doyle for an interview. Flashes were flashing constantly, shutter buttons were pressed rapidly, and a variety of questions were asked. Among them, the view on Tony Stark was not optimistic. After all, too much time had passed and Tony Stark had not appeared. In the eyes of the media, he could basically be declared dead.

At the same time, the commotion among the reporters on the scene also attracted the attention of Pepper Potts. When she saw Smith Doyle appear, she was relieved.

If there is anyone who can save Tony Stark from danger, then in Pepper Potts' eyes, that person must be Smith Doyle. Even if Tony is really in danger, the other party has the ability to rescue him.

Smith Doyle looked at the reporters gathered in front of him and the various outrageous questions they asked. He knew it would be difficult to get rid of them without saying a few words, so he picked up one of the microphones and said:
"First of all, until Tony is found, we cannot say he has been killed."

"And I believe that such an attack cannot hit him!"

Smith Doyle knew that Tony was fine, so he naturally didn't say anything about the Avengers helping him get revenge.

At this time, the reporter said: "But he has been missing for such a long time, he is likely to have been killed."

Smith Doyle glanced at the reporter and said calmly, "He's Iron Man!"

After finishing speaking, Smith returned the microphone to the other party. Then John Wick opened a path, and Smith Doyle also left the group of reporters and walked towards Pepper Potts.

Seeing Smith coming, Pepper Potts stepped forward and said anxiously:

"Smith, Tony he he is missing."

Seeing Pepper Potts's anxious look, Smith Doyle spoke to comfort her:

"Trust me, Tony's fine. Maybe you'll hear from this guy soon."

Maya Hansen, who was standing aside, looked at Smith Doyle who appeared and wanted to tell him something, but she had some concerns and finally did not speak.

At this time, Xu Shangqi rushed out from the bottom of the sea, and then relying on his own strength, he quickly climbed up from the bottom of the cliff and rushed towards Pepper Potts.

"Mr. Smith, Xia Ling, Ms. Pepper Potts."

Smith Doyle nodded and said:
"Have all the black robe patrols arrived?"

Xu Shangqi explained:

“Mr. Smith, Xia Ling and I are the only ones here.”

"However, the other members are currently investigating the matter of the Mandarin. I believe that the truth will come out soon."

Xu Shangqi then handed a relatively intact Iron Man helmet to Pepper Potts and said:
"I have searched the ocean floor and have not found Mr. Stark."

"I did see several different styles of Iron Man suits, but they looked like older models. I opened the suits, but there was no one inside. This is one of the helmets I took off."

"If nothing unexpected happened, Mr. Stark should have left the scene, perhaps to seek revenge on the Mandarin."

Hearing Xu Shangqi's words, Pepper Potts secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still wondered:
"He doesn't have any information about the other party. Even if he wants to seek revenge, he has to find the person."

"I don't know where he went. He didn't even leave any news."

Smith Doyle said:
"At least Xu Shangqi's intelligence tells us that Tony Stark is still alive."

"If something really happens, I will bring Tony back."

Hearing Smith Doyle's affirmative words, Pepper Potts immediately thought of the Dragon Ball's ability to resurrect people, and immediately said:
"I trust you. If anything really happens, Tony will be in your care."

At this time, the Iron Man helmet that Xu Shangqi gave to Pepper Potts began to flash red. Seeing this, Pepper Potts thought about it and put the helmet on his head.

"Stark Security Server, authentication successful."

Then Tony's message was played in the helmet. Hearing these words, a smile appeared on Pepper Potts' face. She was completely relaxed at this moment. Tony Stark was still alive.

After listening to the message, Pepper Potts took off his helmet and said to Smith, Xu Shangqi, Xu Xialing and the others:

"Tony is still alive and just left a message through the security system."

"He said he would find out who was behind this and who was the fake Mandarin."

After hearing what Pepper Potts said, Xu Xialing and Xu Shangqi both breathed a sigh of relief, especially Xu Xialing who was particularly concerned about this matter. After all, so many problems arose right after she got the information.

At this time Xu Xialing said:
"Ms. Pepper, I suggest you check the security situation and systems around Tony. After all, Tony gave me the information right before Happy got into trouble, and now the villa has been attacked."

"I have to suspect that someone I know is involved."

"Of course, I will also check myself to make sure the problem is not caused by me."

After hearing Xu Xialing's words, Pepper Potts hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
"Okay, I'll check Tony's security system to see if there are any loopholes. However, Happy at Stark Industries is still receiving treatment."

The conversation between the two made Maya Hansen very nervous. If there was anyone present who had something to hide, it was only her.

Although she was not the one who caused all this and she did not leak any secrets, she knew that all of this was done by Killian, including the bombings.

Of course, the explosion was not intentional. It was just an accident that happened to the user, but Killian used the Mandarin to package it up.

Among the people here, Smith Doyle knew very well that there was no one leaking information on either side, but he still glanced at Maya Hansen.

But just this one glance made Maya Hansen's heart beat faster and her face turned paler.

Pepper Potts also noticed the change in Maya Hansen, but thought that she had not yet recovered from the previous attack, so she shook her hand.

Smith Doyle recalled the situation of Maya Hansen. The other party was the scientist who developed the Extremis virus, while Killian was more of an investor of Maya Hansen. The main researcher was the person in front of him. Maya Hansen once threatened Killian with her own life to release Tony, but was shot and killed by Killian instead.

Speaking of this scientist, his research and development capabilities were decent, though not top-notch. Over a decade, he'd developed the Extremis virus from plants to humans, though the initial side effects hadn't been eliminated. With this in mind, Smith Doyle decided to save the other person's life first.

Speaking of the Extremis virus, if the side effects are solved, even if the superpower part is removed and it is only used to treat disabled people, it will be a blessing to society.

After thinking about this, Smith Doyle said:
"Now that Tony Stark is okay, Pepper, come back to the base with us."

"After all, no one can be sure whether the Mandarin will take even crazier actions when he finds out that Tony is not dead and is even going to cause trouble for him."

"You're Tony's family member now, and Happy happens to be recovering tomorrow, so he'll be in your care while Tony's gone."

"You can stay at the base for a while. Once you've solved the problem with the Mandarin, you can reunite with Tony."

After hearing Smith's suggestion, Pepper Potts nodded. She was Tony's weak spot. If the enemy knew that Tony was not dead, it might not be impossible for them to capture her and threaten Tony.

You have to know that the Mandarin is a crazy terrorist who dares to do anything.

"Okay, I'll trouble you during this time."

"It's Mr. Manchu's business..."

Before Pepper Potts finished speaking, Xu Xialing spoke up:

"My people are already investigating the Mandarin. They might even meet Tony. Then we'll work together to catch this guy."

At this time, Xu Shangqi on the side also said:

"Don't worry, Ms. Pepper. This is also the top priority of the Black Robe Patrol."

"Believe me, with the full force of our various forces, the enemy will be quickly defeated. As long as we can catch even the slightest clue."

Seeing the assurances from Xu Shangqi and Xu Xialing, Pepper Potts nodded and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you. I'll leave Tony's matter in your hands."

At this time, Smith Doyle looked at Pepper Potts and said, "Let's go back to the base together."

"Let the staff clean this up."

Xu Xialing and Xu Shangqi stayed behind to deal with the Mandarin's affairs, while Smith took Pepper Potts and Maya Hansen into the car, which was driven by John Wick back to the base.

The two women sat in the back seat, and Smith Doyle sat in the passenger seat. He had no intention of squeezing in with them.

At this moment, Pepper Potts remembered that Maya Hansen wanted to talk to Tony about something, so she asked curiously:
"Maya, what do you want to talk to Tony about?"

"I remember you were very anxious at the time, and you even mentioned something dangerous?"

After hearing what Pepper Potts had said in advance, Maya Hansen was thinking whether she should tell it out loud, because not only was Pepper Potts here, but Smith Doyle was also sitting in front.

In the end, Maya Hansen's reason prevailed and she decided to tell everything.

"I suspect my boss is working for the Mandarin."

"If you still want to know, I suggest you wait until we're somewhere safe, and then I'll tell you in detail."

At this time, the co-pilot Smith Doyle nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that this woman was not rescued in vain. She could still distinguish between good and bad things.

Pepper Potts was surprised:
"You said your boss worked for the Mandarin? But Tony said you were a botanist."

Maya Hansen nodded and said:
"You could say I'm actually a DNA genetic coder."

"There's a team of forty people, a branch of a private think tank."

"Of course you can also say that I am a botanist."

Pepper Potts asks:

"What's your boss' name?"

"Aldredge Killian."

After hearing this name, Pepper Potts was also stunned for a moment. You know, she had just met Maya Hansen's boss in the company yesterday.

"It turned out to be him."

Then Smith Doyle said:
"We are on our way to my base. You will be safe along the way with me here. You can talk without worry."

After hearing what Smith Doyle said, Maya Hansen did not insist any more and started talking in the car.

"Well, my boss, Aldredge Killian, invested in my research and development."

"This research project is called the Extremis virus. I've been researching it since the early days when Tony and I met. However, at that time, it was mainly used on plants, so Tony called me a botanist."

Pepper Potts asked doubtfully:
"What is this desperate virus you are talking about?"

When talking about her research, Maya Hansen's expression changed slightly, and there was a bit of fanaticism in her eyes. Pepper Potts had seen this in every researcher.

"The Extremis virus is a program that edits human genes. It allows the body to reshape damaged parts on its own."

"Whether it's a broken arm or a missing limb, with the treatment of the Extremis virus, it can be quickly regrown, restoring the person to a complete state."

Hearing this, Pepper Potts felt something was going on and quickly remembered that Killian had told him something similar yesterday.

But Pepper Potts asked doubtfully:
"But what does this have to do with the Mandarin?"

Maya Hansen said:
"But the desperate virus has a side effect. Depending on the body's adaptability and subsequent stimulation, it can cause overheating. The body's temperature will rise rapidly, and eventually it will explode."

"If Happy had memories, he would remember that my plants once exploded like this."

Hearing this, Pepper Potts reacted and said, holding her mouth:
"Could it be that the bombings that the Mandarin admitted to were all caused by the Extremis virus..."
