Immediately after, Iron Man, under the gaze of everyone present, began an unprecedented aerial rescue.
He brought the female flight attendant to the side of another man in a suit. After some frantic adjustments, the flight attendant grabbed the suit-clad man's hand.
Normally, the flight attendant wouldn't have been able to hold onto the man so securely, but with the Iron Man armor's power activated, the flight attendant and the man were "glued" together.
And so, the man grabbed a third person, the third person grabbed a fourth...
After a dazzling display of maneuvers, those thirteen people actually linked hands, forming a chain! Iron Man, carrying the "human chain," flew back and forth through the air, and not a single person fell.
Finally, in this display of skill, the armor carried the thirteen people to the sea, where he then dropped them into the water.
Everyone, after falling into the water, were like fans meeting their idols, waving their hands at Iron Man in the sky and cheering non-stop.
They'll probably be bragging about this air disaster for the rest of their lives.
"Good job, guys, fantastic!"
"Everyone cooperated so well, great work, beautiful!"
Iron Man also hovered in the air, speaking to everyone with great satisfaction.
Then, Iron Man turned around and flew away from the scene in a cool manner, completing his mission and leaving behind only a cool back view.
However…
Clang!
A bus happened to be driving on the highway, and it instantly turned Iron Man into a pile of scrap.
The image froze there.
The video ended.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little weird; everyone was caught off guard.
Iron Man, who was still basking in the glory of the moment just a second ago, was taken apart by a truck the next second.
"That was quite a rescue, Stark!" Black Widow said with a hint of mockery, unable to help but laugh.
"Except for the ending, it was indeed very exciting!" Nick Fury nodded in agreement.
"No, being taken apart at the end was the most exciting part," Coulson said with a smile.
"A bunch of commoners! Isn't anyone paying attention to the fact that my armor is unmanned and remotely controlled? My armor has been upgraded again!"
Iron Man said to everyone, looking displeased.
"Alright, let's summarize this situation!" Captain America interrupted, speaking with a serious expression.
"There's a guy called the Mandarin, and he's behind a plot to kidnap the President of the United States. Does anyone here know who this Mandarin is?"
Captain America glanced at everyone and asked.
"He's the head of an international terrorist organization. They create chaos and instigate wars internationally. They've planned many terrorist attacks and are a major scourge on the world. They've also caused quite a bit of trouble for the United States."
Nick Fury explained briefly to Captain America.
"So the attack on Air Force One was a terrorist attack?" Captain America asked, looking at Nick Fury's one eye.
"It seems that way," Nick Fury nodded.
The situation wasn't complicated: the head of a terrorist organization had attacked the President's plane and taken him hostage.
"Sir, the Ten Rings have absorbed some enhanced individuals, something we weren't aware of," Black Widow interjected.
Every intelligence agency was familiar with the Ten Rings, an international terrorist organization.
Black Widow had even carried out a mission to destroy one of the Ten Rings' bases, giving her a deeper understanding of the group.
But they never knew the Ten Rings had any enhanced individuals.
"They may not have them now, but things could change in the future," Coulson said in a low voice.
"Whether they do or don't, I'm determined to take out that Mandarin!" Tony Stark declared resolutely.
The footage clearly showed the Mandarin had not only planned the President's kidnapping, but also kidnapped Pepper!
This truly enraged Tony Stark.
It made Tony Stark truly want to kill.
"Stark, the Mandarin is planning to kidnap the President, and at the same time, he's also targeting Ms. Pepper. Could there be a connection between the two?"
Captain America asked Tony Stark thoughtfully, "He chose to act at the same time. This shouldn't be a coincidence."
"Pepper herself wouldn't be a target for someone like the Mandarin. I suspect the Mandarin's real target is still Stark."
Black Widow added seriously, "He kidnapped Pepper, probably to threaten Stark."
As the world's most famous super-rich man and a super-genius, Tony Stark's vast wealth and technology, which was ahead of its time, could make him a target for terrorists.
Just like that time in the Middle East, didn't terrorists kidnap Stark and force him to produce weapons for them?
"None of that matters, and I don't care!" Tony Stark said resolutely, his face grim.
Whatever Mandarin's goal is, he's dead!
"Stark, a terrifying organization like the Ten Rings falls within S.H.I.E.L.D.'s purview, especially since they'll have enhanced abilities in the future. I definitely can't stand by and do nothing."
After a moment of thought, Nick Fury said to Tony Stark, "If you truly intend to deal with Mandarin, S.H.I.E.L.D. will provide the necessary support."
Tony Stark nodded, saying nothing more.
The Ten Rings was, after all, an international terrorist organization. No one knew exactly which country their leader, Mandarin, was hiding in.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters were in America, they had branches in many countries around the world, which could indeed provide Tony Stark with the necessary help.

The quiz system was still quite considerate. After the people on the scene had discussed things for a while, a new question finally appeared.
"Alright everyone, let's take a look at this new question," Nick Fury greeted everyone, and at the same time, he turned his head and stared at the big screen.
Everyone at the scene then withdrew their thoughts and focused their attention on the question.
Would they rather have more quizzes, or more of the real world? Which did they want to see more of?
