"Swish…"
Carl sitting in business class, looked outside the window, at plane taking off from runaway, feeling slight turbulence; he closed his eyes and entered meditative state. It will take around eight hours to reach Monaco airport, it is better to use this time meditating rather than wasting it, currently Carl has already replaced sleep with mediation, because meditation has certain recovering effect.
After around eight and half hour plane landed, coming out of airport it is already evening and tomorrow is the day he will meet Tony. After taking a taxi he arrived at a five star hotel which Luna has already booked five days ago. After conforming his identity and taking keys to luxury suite, he hurriedly left for a shower after entering his room. After an hour he left his room to enjoy and see Europe's night life.
At night, he returned to his room. He sat on his bed, cross-legged asked Luna.
"Is everything ready?"
"Yes big brother, I have already hacked into their server and took control of all their cameras and communication system."
Carl nodded in a satisfied manner, Luna is indeed reliable, and without her doing all of this would be too difficult. But he thought of something and asked her.
"Did you find him?"
"Him?
Ivan Vanko? No big brother. Sorry, I did not manage to find him." Luna replied with an ashamed expression.
"No need to be discouraged. I already expected this, but look for him in place tomorrow, according to my description. He will definitely appear tomorrow in staff's dress and aim for race track, look around there and you will find him and notify me as soon as possible when you see him." Carl smiled and comforted her after seeing her discouraged expression. After that he entered mediation, yesterday he had entered third stage of Body Qi refining realm, after feeling the increase in strength he is eager for next breakthrough but he knows that cultivation is not a single day strength increase, it is an arduous task, as for him reaching third stage in mere five days, it is mainly because his past experience on previous earth.
Next morning Carl arrived at race track and entered staff room, to person like him who's tracking and anti tracking ability has reached peak, entering a simple staff room is easy, especially with the help of Luna who is currently monitoring entire place.
After entering staff room he hid behind a cupboard and asked Luna to call a person, Luna who has already been in control of entire place send the targeted person James whom she has selected, a summon call by changing her voice to his superior.
James who is targeted, is currently in kitchen wearing dress of an waiter, waiting for party to get started, suddenly received a summon call from his boss to go to staff room. Although he's confused but he still went, but when he opened the staff room's door and entered there was no one, bewildered he tried to call his boss but when he entered the room connection was lost, seeing these strange happening he start feeling fear and suddenly turned to get out of this strange place but when turned he saw a young man at same height as him, currently looking at him like he was some kind of product, but before he could ask anything, that man disappeared and then he lost consciousness.
Carl who suddenly appeared at rear of James and stuck him, making him unconsciousness, looked at unconscious James with satisfaction. Whether its height or body shapes of this person it can easily be copied by him.
After changing his appearance and clothes according to James, there is hardly any difference between them even his mother would not be able to tell any difference, indeed disguise technique of Carl is indeed at peak. After disguise he waits till start of party, two hours later while party is going Carl is currently serving wine to guest and waiting for Pepper and Tony's entrance they finally appeared.
Suddenly there is a lot of noise at entrance, after crowd parted three people entered leading Iron man AKA Tony stark besides her is new CEO of stark industries Ms. Pepper Potts and behind them is her secretary Natalie Rushman AKA S.H.I.E.L.D undercover agent Black Widow. As soon as they entered they become center of attention after all even in this level of party, Stark Industries belong to peak level and Iron Man as a superhero and a playboy many people are interested in him.
After taking care of reporters and fans they entered the hall soon they were blocked by a chimpanzee faced person wearing glasses, Hammer industries owner Justin Hammer.
Soon Ms. Pepper Potts left them and came to a table sat down holding a glass of wine, and Tony suddenly disappeared in the crowd. Seeing her finally alone, Carl put away his disguise mask and took a glass of wine and went for her. Along the way he took a coat from a table skillfully and wore without anyone noticing. He came at Pepper table and sat down facing Pepper and Natalie.
Pepper who is currently lost in thought feels someone sitting in front of her, she frowned and looked up at the person who inappropriately sat in front of her without her permission, but when she saw a young face she stunned asked.
"How can you come here, I have checked it, you were not on list?" after last time Carl told her that Tony's life may be in danger she have checked entire function and she also checked staff and invitation list but there was no mention of him.
"I have my own way; I am more interested in knowing what were you thinking so hard?"
"What can I think? I was trying to understand your words about today." Pepper bitterly said while gazing him with blaming eyes.
"Hahaha… you don't have to think so hard, you will understand soon." Saying this he glanced at LED behind her with a mysterious smile. Currently at LED is showing a breaking new. [Multi-billionaire playboy and part time superhero Iron man AKA Tony stark had suddenly decided to race in today���s race.]
Pepper just turned her head and saw this news, she could not help but get angrily say "I had specifically told him today on plane, to not do anything reckless. But he never listens." Saying this she turned to Carl thinking whether its coincidence or what he said is true, thinking of this she asked.
"Mr. Carl"
"You don't need to ask anything, you will soon understand and I think it's time for you leave with happy and don't forget to take his suitcase, which is his lifeline." He interrupted her and told her to leave for Tony because Luna has informed him that Ivan Vanko has entered the Stands.
"Huh?" Pepper looked him with a confused expression but on LED which is showing race suddenly interrupted its broadcast and showed someone entering race track.
"Who is he?" peeper asked Carl, because she feels that he know about that person, this is terrifying nature of a woman intuition.
"That's not currently most pressing issue, I think you should leave for Tony first and we will continue our conversation later."
Hearing him say that, pepper stared at him for a second and finally decided.
"Happy accompany me, tony needs help. "After that they left, leaving Natalie and Carl alone at table, Natalie stared at Carl seriously and asked. "Is it true?"
"Yes." He understood that she is talking about Tony's situation.
"Why? And what do you want."
"You will understand soon, Natasha." Carl said while smiling at her mysteriously.
"You…" Natalie stared at Carl with aghast expression, like she has seen a ghost. About her real name, only some senior agents have known, even in her profile there is no mention of her real name but this unknown man knows who suddenly appeared in New York out of nowhere without any background or previous life as he doesn't even exist before coming here and as for his identity it's a fake, on the day he appeared in Pepper's office she has already asked S.H.I.E.L.D for a detailed investigation and she has seen his file, except for his fight against a mutant, there is no abnormality or there is nothing about him, except eating he rarely left his room.
"Don't worry, I am not against you or anything, to express my goodwill I will give you some information, in a few months there will be hammer falling from sky in New Mexico, then contact me and I will give you information about its origin."
"Hammer falling? Falling?" Natasha stared him with a weird face, well anyone will look at you with this look if you say there will be hammer falling from space.
Carl ignored her stare and said. "Let's watch current fight which is about to begin."
On race track, a long haired tattooed man holding two electric whips, wearing exoskeleton armor different from Iron Man with an ark reactor in same place at center of chest, had just whipped at racing car of Tony stark cutting it in two pieces.
Tony shook his head and looked at tattooed man who is wearing a cheap fake armor suit, holding two whips coming at him with a murderous smile. He hurriedly opened his seatbelt and crawled out of his car and stared at man standing across him, he wanted to ask about situation but before he could ask anything that man attacked him first with his whip coming straight at his face. He hurriedly rolled and looked at the man with anger and said.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, it's not my fault you are not handsome as me or curse the god for your ugly face." This bastard almost ruined his face, thinking of this he couldn't help but get angrier.
Ivan stop after hearing Tony's word, he looked at tony without any change in expression but you could see his eyelids twitching in anger 'this fucker is insulting me'; just as he was about to lose his control in anger and cut tony in dozen of pieces.
'Screech…' there comes a drifting voice of tires, both tony and Ivan looked towards sound. They both saw a Rolls Royce coming toward them at high speed, while Ivan looked at car in confusion tony recognize his car and hurriedly jumped sideway.
'Bang…' Happy, tony driver who is currently driving the car stared at Ivan who he has just crashed into, while he drenched in sweat.
"Happy, are you trying to kill me, or you want to change your employer." Tony looked at Ivan who currently lying at ground without clears dead or alive state, he got angry thinking if he hadn't evaded at last minute he would also be lying at ground now dead.
"Tony, how are you?" pepper who is sitting at back seat asked in worried tone, ignoring Happy's reckless driving, after all she is the one who gave him permission to do this.
"Pepper…? Oh my god, what are you doing here? Happy what is she doing her, don't you know it is a dangerous situation?" seeing pepper here, tony gets more worried and angry at Happy.
"She asked me to come here and insisted on coming along." Happy replied with face like he has been wronged.
"If you know it's dangerous, how can you come here, haven't I specifically told you before coming here? Don't do anything dangerous." Thinking of how he ignored her warning Pepper said in angry tone.
Carl who is watching and hearing everything with help of Luna because at TV screen entire audience is chaotic and you can't hear anything other than messy voices, said in low voice with a smile. "They are indeed a family." Natasha who is watching everything from TV gave him a questioning look after hearing him say this, Carl ignored her look and looked at quarreling couple through his glasses.
"Shut your fucking family quarrel, you bastard." Suddenly someone shouted and along with voice a high voltage whip, whipped down tearing car in two pieces from center. "Ah…" Pepper shouted frighteningly and remembering Carl advice she throws a suitcase at tony but maybe it's a coincidence or because of her fear she ended up using too much force. Hard steeled suitcase ended up slamming into Tony's face, which had just turned his face at pepper who shouted.
Suddenly both happy and Ivan froze seeing scene before them, they first stared at blooded nose tony then at pepper who is staring at mess she had created.
"Are you with me or against me?" Tony currently holding his bleeding nose with tears in his eyes stared at Pepper with a helpless look. He feels really pitiful 'can't you let a dying man enjoy his last days.'
"Sorry." Pepper apologized with a blush.
