Ten minutes later, the video call between Tony and Rogers ended. However, Captain Rogers was still looking very serious even after hanging up the phone. What Tony said to him this time made him nervous and that is saying something because he is usually very calm.
It is about the most central person in American politics. If this incident is not handled properly, there will be severe consequences in the political center of the United States.
“I need to let someone investigate the Vice President. Although Mirage Knight’s information has always been very accurate, I still need to see the evidence in person for this kind of thing. It’s time to find a reason.” Captain Rogers finally sighed and said to himself before leaving his room.
This time, Tony asked Rogers to help investigate the whereabouts of Killian and Mandarin. Although Tony only needed the help of the powerful search effect of the Insight System, he had also told Rogers about some possible relation between Killian and the Vice President, who was hidden in the core of the government.
For power and the opportunity to become the perfect Extremis transforming person, the Vice President has already stood on the same path with Killian. This makes Rogers feel very helpless because SHIELD itself should not interfere with American politics.
If this incident was just a simple attack against terrorists or the extremely harmful Extremis fighters in Killian’s hands then SHIELD would have been able to handle them without any problem. However, once politics is involved, SHIELD’s position becomes quite delicate.
Of course, SHIELD is now completely under Rogers’s control and he has always been uncomfortable with the actions of politicians in the current government. Rogers doesn’t mind cleaning up these people who harm innocent civilians. However, SHIELD needs conclusive evidence before they can move against someone like the Vice-president.
Mirage Knight only provided a clue by naming the Vice president, but the Vice President would certainly not be alone in this. There must be a circle of politicians and congressmen who support him.
If SHIELD wants to intervene then they must completely eliminate these people quickly. This is what Rogers needs to do now and he needs to do it quickly.
Five minutes after the video call between Tony and Rogers ended, SHIELD’s Internal Insight System was turned on at full power, and the targeted people were Aldrich·Killian and the Mandarin. As for the Vice President, his schedule is very transparent to SHIELD and they do not need to use the insight system to find him.
The investigation on the Vice President requires a Top-Level SHIELD agent. If Natasha comes back then this mission would be most appropriate for her. It’s just that she is still on the road with Dr. Banner and Rogers can only arrange for other agents to investigate the vice president who seems very upright.
When Tony asked Rogers’s help in finding Killian and Mandarin using the Insight System, he was not idle. After making sure that he was okay with Pepper, Tony took Peter and Lin Rui into the laboratory again. This time, Tony intends to perfect the Venom Armed Cloak, to the point where he himself can use it.
“Tony, the growth rate of the Venom body limits its number. Are you sure you want to make a complete set of The Cloak now?” Standing by the console, Lin Rui reminded Tony while looking at him.
Because Killian’s attack on Tony used some kind of technology that could break through JARVIS’s defense, it made Tony doubtful and he was not as assured of JARVIS’s defense as before.
While enhancing JARVIS’s defense, Tony also plans to make The Cloak with Venom as the main body. In this way, even if the Iron Man Armor was affected by something, Tony would still have the surprise of The Cloak waiting for his enemies.
“Of course, it only consumes one-third of the Venom’s body. It can bear the price. Moreover, I have a hunch that my current Iron Man Armor may get destroyed or it would lose in dealing with Killian. Therefore, the formation of The Cloak is something we must do!” Hearing Lin Rui’s reminder, Tony’s hands on the Virtual Keyboard did not stop, and he answered seriously.
“In that case, we have to work overtime with you!” Lin Rui didn’t say anything anymore when Tony said that he had a hunch. Moreover, the early appearance of the complete Cloak is what Lin Rui really wants to see. He wants to see if The Cloak produced by Venom can reach the height he expected.
“Peter, you control the current guides. Jackson, you will continue to be a guinea pig. Today, we are going to make this Cloak!” Tony, who has entered the experimental stage, is very enthusiastic and quickly ordered.
“Yes! Mr. Stark!”
Kakaka!
…
When SHIELD’s Insight System was operating at high speed looking for trails of Killian and Mandarin, Killian, who had failed to attack Iron Man, was hiding in another secret base of his own. As for Mandarin, even Killian is not very clear about his current whereabouts.
“Maya! Can you explain to me why did you appear in Tony Stark’s villa?” In a laboratory in the secret base, Killian asked Maya Hansen, who had just returned, with a cold look in his eyes.
Although Maya Hansen is a researcher under Killian, she is also the person in charge of the entire Extremis project. This project cannot be done without Maya’s help, otherwise, Killian wouldn’t have minded killing her.
“What was I doing there? Of course, I was there because I didn’t agree with your stupid plan. If you want the Extremis to appear in the world quickly, war is not the only way. With Tony Stark’s help and with his power, our plan will be finished at a faster rate. However, your action completely failed and of course, my plan did not succeed either.” Faced with Killian’s question, Maya responded without showing any weakness.
Originally, Maya wanted to use Killian’s information to gain Tony’s trust, but Tony didn’t seem to appreciate it because he already knew a lot about Killian. Moreover, Maya’s backup plan for abducting Pepper could not be implemented. Pepper had been put in a Safe House arranged by Tony before Maya went to the beach house.
Brush!
Just after Maya finished speaking, Killian suddenly rushed in front of her, and then directly stretched out his hand to grab Maya’s neck and lifted her up.
“Uh!…Killian~what the hell do you think you are doing?!” The expression on Maya’s face changed drastically when Killian suddenly grabbed her neck violently.
Killian was also injected with Extremis. Although he was not completely perfected, he was already very powerful. As long as he slightly used the power of Extremis in his body, Maya would be burned to death.
“What am I doing? Haha, I just can’t tolerate your acting and showing everyone how self-righteous you are! I don’t need you to tell me what I want, you just need to improve the Extremis as soon as possible. As for our great plan, you don’t need to worry about it!” Pinching Maya’s neck, Killian said coldly while staring into her eyes.
“Ahem!…” Maya, who had been choked out of breath, couldn’t make a sound, nodded quickly.
Call!
The next moment, Killian released Maya. Maya, who had wandered from the edge of death once, fell directly to the ground, her eyes filled with fear of Killian and hatred filled the deepest part of her heart.
“Killian, you are a lunatic!” Getting up from the ground, Maya tidied up her messy clothes, cursed Killian, and left.
“A lunatic? I would be that if I was still a normal person. Hehe…”
