Chapter 6 - Escorting Tony back to New York
Chapter 6: Escorting Tony back to New York
Tony was a smart person, and he knew how to handle the situation. He had seen Lu Yuan’s power. Although he knew that Lu Yuan was an alien, he did not dare to say anything.
The reason was very simple. He was afraid that Lu Yuan would kill him to silence him.
There were only a few people present. It would not be good if he used a laser beam.
A little ago, one mountain had been cut in half by these beams. How would he dare?
Not only did Tony not dare to say anything, but he also had to keep his promise and personally acted as a guarantee for Lu Yuan.
When Tony said this, the others had no choice but to believe him and put away their weapons because of Tony’s identity and status.
Just like that, Lu Yuan was temporarily given an identity. He successfully joined the group as Tony’s savior.
Immediately after the convoy escorted Tony, Colonel Rhodes took Tony and Lu Yuan into his own intact armored car, turned around, and prepared to go back.
They boarded a private jet at a nearby military outpost. It was Tony’s private jet. This bastard had so much money that he couldn’t finish spending all that money in his life.
Tony’s fortune could be said to be among the top richest people in the entire American comic cycle. Only Batman and the Black Panther could surpass him.
The Black Panther had to rely on Wakanda’s rare and valuable resource, vibranium (which was actually a meteorite) to surpass Tony, but if Tony was willing to sell the Iron Man armor, his wealth would surpass black panther.
Any country should be willing to buy any type of Iron Man armor at sky-high prices.
It’s just that he definitely wouldn’t sell it.
Nothing unexpected happened along the way. It seemed that the earlier trap was the only attack.
When they returned to the base and boarded Tony’s private jet, everyone was relieved.
As long as the jet took off and returned to a certain country’s territory, they did not need to worry anymore.
The enemy couldn’t break through the defenses of a country, no matter who they were.
“Tony, who were those people?” Colonel Rhodes asked Tony if he knew who attacked him.
How could Tony know? “Judging from their outfit, they should be the nearby terrorists.”
“But why would they attack you?” Colonel Rhodes certainly knew that those people were the terrorists, but why did they specifically attack Tony?
Colonel Rhodes slightly glanced at Lu Yuan.
It seemed like he was still suspicious of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan smiled.
Tony was helpless. He trusted Lu Yuan because he knew Lu Yuan’s secret.
But he couldn’t convince Colonel Rhodes to believe in Lu Yuan.
“How about thinking a little simpler? Everybody knows that Tony is a genius. He designed weapons that are simply mind-blowing in their killing power. So maybe those people are trying to capture him to make weapons?” Lu Yuan casually said.
Colonel Rhodes looked at Tony and saw that he was not going to tell him anything about Lu Yuan, so he could only give up.
He was hoping that Tony would tell him something about Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan were a spy, he would have taken out his gun and shot him as soon as possible.
However, Colonel Rhodes did not know that Tony was not protecting Lu Yuan. On the contrary, he was protecting Colonel Rhodes.
What was the use of a lousy pistol? Tony had personally witnessed Lu Yuan grabbing a missile and being shot by rifles after he was surrounded, but he was still unharmed.
Therefore, he didn’t want to create trouble. If Lu Yuan was an enemy and he was troubled, everyone present would die.
“Alright, hurry up and let the plane take off. I want to go back and eat cheeseburgers,” Tony urged.
Due to suddenly encountering such an incident, Tony felt that he was reborn after surviving this big disaster, and the cheeseburger was his favorite food. So he wanted to go back and have a special meal.
Colonel Rhodes had no choice but to follow Tony’s instructions and let the plane take off.
Although it was Tony’s private jet, this was a military base, so he still had to ask for permission.
This was the important thing about Colonel Rhodes.
The private jet slowly started moving on the runway and finally flew into the sky, heading straight for a certain country.
Without any problem, the plane finally arrived at the airport in New York.
On the way, Tony changed his clothes and put on a new, decent suit.
Lu Yuan also changed into a black suit.
This was Tony’s private jet. It wasn’t meant for carrying guests, but to serve him alone.
Needless to say, it had luxurious seats, there was even a bar, and even a dance floor, as well as a variety of drinks and food, including all kinds of clothes.
And those clothes were not only for him but also for the attendant.
You know…
If it was in the past, Lu Yuan would scold such a wicked, rich man.
However, now he did not feel anything at all. He had once reached a very high position on Krypton and even had an exclusive army of 100,000 people. He also used to be a big shot.
He didn’t care about Earth’s current technology, because Krypton was far above Earth’s current level even a hundred thousand years ago.
The only thing that still liked was that the food on Earth was remarkable.
That was why Lu Yuan almost ate up all the food that was preserved on the plane.
At that time, both Tony and Colonel Rhodes were terrified.
It was just that Colonel Rhodes was worried that Lu Yuan would burst, while Tony was worried that if Lu Yuan was not full, would he eat the people on the plane?
Tony had seen the Lu Yuan’s earlier appearance. He looked like an alien monster that did not belong to the Earth.
He had always thought that Lu Yuan had changed into this appearance because he had witnessed the appearance of the Earthlings. But he did not know that Lu Yuan’s previous appearance was the same as the Earthlings and that the appearance of Kryptonians was also not much different from the Earthlings.
So this was Lu Yuan’s true appearance. He had always looked like this.
Finally, the plane smoothly and safely returned to a certain country.
When the cabin door opened, Tony was surprised to see that his driver and bodyguard, Happy, was waiting for him. His charming and beautiful female assistant was also there.
She was Virginia “Pepper” Potts, also known as Little Pepper.
“Tony,” The moment Pepper saw Tony, she asked him with concern, “How are you? Are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?”
Tony felt warm in his heart. He subconsciously reached out to hold Little Pepper’s hand and said with a smile, “I’m very lucky to be alive, and I’m not hurt at all. But if you continue to touch me like this, there will definitely be a risk of a faster heartbeat.”
Little Pepper blushed and quickly broke free.
However, Tony did not notice that there was a dangerous gaze behind him.
That was Lu Yuan’s stare. He was staring at Tony’s heart and wondering if he should help him open a hole? Otherwise, how would Iron Man be born?
Due to Lu Yuan’s influence, although Tony was still attacked, it did not attract much attention. After all, he did not suddenly disappear for three months.
Therefore, the news of his return was still a secret, and no one paid attention to it.
On the way, Tony bought two cheeseburgers for himself and he also had to pay for ten burgers, a few fries, and fried chicken for Lu Yuan, and then he was about to go home.
