"What an honor, Mr. President."
The armed man pressed the President against the wall, a sneer plastered across his face.
"If you're going to do something, then do it!" The President, a man of steel, stood his ground, not backing down.
"No need to rush, Mr. President. This isn't the Mandarin's style." The armed man's sneer deepened.
"The Mandarin?"
Nick Fury frowned.
He'd heard the name before. In fact, not just him, but Coulson and Black Widow had also heard of him. After all, he was the notorious leader of the international Ten Rings.
Even the kidnapping of Stark in the Middle East was carried out by the Ten Rings.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had engaged the Ten Rings on numerous occasions over the years.
Yet, even so, Nick Fury had always treated the Ten Rings as just another run-of-the-mill terrorist organization. Nothing more.
He hadn't truly taken them seriously.
But who could have imagined that the Ten Rings would one day possess such terrifying power?
"Sir, Air Force One is in danger!"
"Shots fired in the cabin, temperature rising rapidly!"
The screen now switched to a ground control room for the Air Force. The Air Force was already aware of what was happening on Air Force One.
"Let me see!"
"The footage is coming through!"
An operative worked the controls, and an image appeared on the computer screen, clearly showing War Machine in flight.
"Is that Colonel Rhodes?" The Air Force officer was dumbfounded.
The camera cut back to Air Force One, where the armed man had changed into a security guard's uniform.
It was now abundantly clear that the War Machine that had flown away was the President.
The enemy had captured the President using this method.
The armed man was leisurely in the cabin, calmly wrapping things up.
But suddenly.
A metal arm shot out, and a repulsor ray blasted the armed man away.
Iron Man made a dazzling entrance!
After a brief struggle, Iron Man pinned the armed man against the wall, his repulsor ray charging, and threatened, "Where's the President, tell me!"
"He's not here!" The armed man said, his entire right arm once again exhibiting a high-heat state.
It was like a red-hot iron rod, with the "iron rod red" even spreading to his head.
He grabbed Iron Man's metal arm and actually pushed it away.
The power of the Iron Man armor couldn't even stop the armed man's strength!
This scene made everyone gasp, their faces grim. The armed man wasn't just capable of generating high-heat energy; his own strength was also astonishing.
It was really dangerous.
"Get down!" The terrorist then said to Iron Man, and with his other hand, he pulled out a controller and pressed it.
Boom!
A huge hole was immediately blown in the fuselage.
Gasps and screams immediately erupted as passengers were blown out of control by the powerful airflow.
They began to fall from the sky.
At this critical moment, Iron Man's arms were still held tightly by the terrorist, utterly unable to break free from his grasp! He was even being forced down to his knees by the terrorist's powerful grip.
At a critical moment, Iron Man thrust out his chest, and a powerful beam of energy burst forth from his chest reactor, blasting a hole through the terrorist's chest.
The arrogant terrorist finally collapsed slowly.
"You thought you were so tough, bitch." Iron Man cursed under his breath, and then began to fly out of the hole blown in the cabin.
Begin rescue.
At the very first moment, Jarvis scanned those who were "scattered" in the air.
"How many people in total?"
"Thirteen, sir!"
"How many can I take?"
"Four, sir!"
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel curious.
Jarvis had already stated that Stark could only take four people at a time, but the current number of people Stark needed to rescue was thirteen.
It's three times four, plus one more!
And as Stark's AI, Jarvis would never make a mistake in a situation like this. That meant the Iron Man armor could indeed only carry four people.
Under these circumstances, how did Stark manage to save all thirteen people?
"What should I do next?" Even Tony Stark himself was filled with intense curiosity.
Then, Iron Man decisively dove from the sky, embracing the flight attendant closest to him.
"Listen, do you see him? When I fly past him, you grab him!" After comforting the flight attendant, Iron Man said to him.
"Is Stark planning to have these thirteen people hold hands and save everyone this way?" Captain America couldn't help but question.
The others on the scene also found it absurd, almost a joke.
Everyone was terrified in this situation, scrambling around, how could they possibly accomplish these things?
This wasn't a movie!
Moreover, even if everyone really held onto others, it would be useless. After all, they weren't enhanced individuals and didn't have that much strength.
Afraid that he would lose his grip from exhaustion any second.
Not to mention there were a whole thirteen people on the scene.
This was simply impossible.
No one believed this method would work.
"Genius, I'm a genius!" Only Tony Stark, after a moment's thought, understood what he would do next, and couldn't help but exclaim.
What do you do when you can't help but admire yourself?
Under Tony Stark's admiring gaze, and the others' questioning gazes, Iron Man simply carried the flight attendant and flew to another passenger.
"I'm going to electrify your arm, so your hand won't let go, we can do this!" Iron Man said to the flight attendant.
"Electrify!"
"So that's how it works!"
"What a brilliant method!"
Everyone on the scene suddenly understood. Those who had originally doubted the method all had their eyes light up, and they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
It has to be said, that Tony Stark, although arrogant and conceited, was indeed a rare genius.
His IQ was truly extraordinary.
