The mechanical craze in Marvel

The billowing dust behind him served as the perfect backdrop to his arrogance.

He, Tony Stark, is the world's most brilliant genius!

No one can make him lower his proud head!

Nolan Locke?

Ha ha……

A disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

For the rest of his life, Nolan Rock can only accept being suppressed by him!

the next day.

Nolan watched the news on TV.

"Playboy Tony Stark went missing during a missile test in Afghanistan, suspected of being abducted by local armed forces."

"..."

"Tony Stark, the world's biggest executioner, has gone missing. The military has deployed a large number of personnel for a search and rescue operation, but so far they have found nothing."

"..."

"Tony Stark is missing. What will become of Stark Industries?"

Tony Stark has disappeared!

The news quickly spread throughout the world.

Nolan took a deep breath.

The era of superheroes is about to officially begin in this world!

But the most important thing right now is...

He made a phone call to Simon Philippe.

"Keep a close eye on Stark Industries' stock, and have all the funds we can mobilize ready."

I'm going to buy at the bottom!

Simon Philippe felt a sudden, blank look in his head.

“Boss, Tony Stark is missing. If you do this and he doesn’t come back, Lockheed Martin will also be in trouble.”

"That's Tony Stark, after all."

I have a feeling that guy won't die so easily.

This time, I'm going to really fleece Tony Stark!

I'm really looking forward to seeing his expression then.

Nolan's lips curled into a smug smile.

Chapter 34 Heading to Afghanistan

In a mountain valley in Afghanistan.

Tony Stark suddenly woke up.

As soon as you wake up.

He was breathing heavily.

Memories of the previous war instantly flooded his mind.

Then look around.

The environment was simple and rudimentary.

He had a bunch of wires stuck to his body, with a car battery attached to the other end.

He glanced at it and then planned to pull the thread apart.

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that."

Tony Stark looked in the direction from which the sound came.

A gaunt man sat beside a fire.

"This is a terrorist camp. When you were brought here, there were many shrapnel fragments near your heart."

To save your life, I used electromagnets to ensure they don't enter your heart.

If you unplug the wire, I guarantee you'll live for a maximum of two hours.

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark paused for a moment and abandoned his dangerous plan.

Although he was arrogant, he valued his life very much.

"Thank you. What's your name?"

"Ethan."

Ethan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Sure enough, Tony Stark didn't remember his name.

They met once in 1999.

But what's the point of saying all this now?

"The military will come to rescue us."

After calming down, Tony Stark spoke.

Ethan shook his head; he saw no hope whatsoever.

Tony, meanwhile, was already considering ways to escape.

He never pinned his hopes on waiting for someone to rescue him.

Look at your surroundings.

He suddenly paused for a moment.

"This is... a missile manufactured by Stark Industries?"

Why are you here?

He always believed that his missiles were for fighting terrorists.

But now, his own masterpiece has appeared on terrorist territory.

Ethan shook his head, looking at the somewhat dazed Tony Stark with pity.

Clearly, this genius has never truly understood the world.

the other side,

After Tony Stark disappeared.

Obadiah Stanislav of Stark Industries put immense pressure on the military.

It wasn't just Stark Industries; pressure came from all sides.

Tony Stark's friend James Rhodes quickly arrived at the scene and took over the rescue operation for Tony Stark.

"Colonel, we are fairly certain of Tony Stark's location."

However, this area is too large and consists entirely of sand, making it an uninhabited area.

Although we have mobilized more than a thousand people, finding Tony Stark is still a very difficult task.

We'll probably need to investigate each one individually.

A major explained.

James Rhodes frowned after hearing this.

"Tell me, how long will it take?"

"In the worst-case scenario, it could take at least three months."

"Fuck, in three months, we won't even need to collect Tony's body. His body might just be a skeleton by then!"

He cursed angrily.

Then I rubbed my temples.

"Let's do it this way for now."

I will try my best to request more search and rescue personnel from higher authorities.

That's what he said, but he knew it.

Tony Stark is very valuable.

But this number of one thousand is probably the limit.

The military cannot send thousands of soldiers to search this place day and night for just one person.

Moreover, if it cannot be found within a month.

The situation is likely to get worse.

Even if those damned terrorists didn't kill him, the chances of Tony Stark surviving would be greatly reduced for the higher-ups.

He doesn't have that much time.

what can we do about it.

the other side.

With Tony Stark's disappearance.

Things were fine a few days ago.

A few days later, Stark Industries' stock began to fall rapidly.
