In the afternoon of the next day, Tony asked Rhodes out for afternoon tea, in a roadside fast food restaurant in the suburbs of New York. Although Tony is a super-rich man, he also has his own unique taste. The food on the roadside may not be the best but he likes it and Tony also enjoyed the feeling of being recognized on the roadside.
“So what’s really going on? With Mandarin. Seriously, Can we talk about this guy?” Sitting on the dining table in the living room of the fast-food restaurant, Tony looked at his friend Rhodes and asked.
“Tony, you know that it’s Classified Information.” Seeing Tony’s appearance, Rhodes said helplessly.
“Of course I know, otherwise why would I be asking you,” Tony replied indifferently. As far as Tony was concerned, the excuse of Military Secrets isn’t enough to stop him.
“Well, the Military is under a lot of pressure and I have also got many headaches recently. The military released the Iron Man Armor under pressure. We still don’t know where the hell this Mandarin came from, it was as if he appeared out of thin air.” Knowing that Tony wouldn’t let go, Rhodes started to answer.
“You don’t know? This seems weird. What about those explosions? You should know that the Stark Industries was originally a Military Weapon Manufacturer. We have a series of intelligent bomb disposal equipment that does not require manual operation at all and is very safe.” Listening to Rhodes, Tony raised his brow and continued.
“Those explosions… there have been more than just those three, there have been a total of 13 Incidents, but in order not to cause panic among the people, there has only been news about three.
Moreover, no one can ID a device. There are no bomb casings. We have no countermeasures against those at all.” Hearing Tony’s suggestion, Rhodes replied with furrowed brows.
It’s not that the military doesn’t want to use more professional bomb disposal equipment, but they have not even figured out what those explosives are now.
Hearing Rhodes’ words, the expression on Tony’s face changed. Tony couldn’t imagine how many people had died in the thirteen bombing attacks. Moreover, there were thirteen explosive attacks, and the military didn’t even know what the explosives were, which made Tony very angry and puzzled.
“You haven’t even figured out what the explosives are in the thirteen explosions?! Even if they have any new explosives, don’t they leave any residue?” Tony asked directly while feeling very angry.
“No! There was no trace of explosives within the explosion range, there are only injured and the destroyed buildings. Therefore, the military had to announce that they would use Iron Man Armor to counterattack.” Rhodes knew the reason behind Tony’s anger. He himself was very angry. However, these bombing attacks were indeed very strange and they could not be prevented at all.
“This is really strange.” Tony’s eyes became more serious when he heard Rhodes’ answer.
Although Tony’s technology should already be considered the best on earth and he would not really be arrogant enough to think that no one in the world can surpass himself in a certain technology. Because Tony is not the only genius on the earth as he only focuses on Physics, Energy, and Artificial Intelligence.
Although he has some knowledge of other subjects, he did not pay much attention to them. But when it comes to weapons, Tony doesn’t think there are things in the world that he can’t do anything about.
“That’s right! So, if you really want to help, just provide us with a few more Iron Man Armors.” Rhodes is just hoping for more Iron Men Armor to counter the Mandarin’s undetectable explosion attacks.
“Well, since this matter is so severe, I will consider providing you with a few more Iron Man Armors. However, you have to assure me that you will not use these Iron Mans to help the military intervene on the frontal battlefield.” Listening to Rhodes’s words, Tony replied seriously after thinking about it.
“Don’t worry, I’ve always been on your side.” Rhodes was obviously very happy with Tony’s support.
“I believe you, Rhodes. But, do you really don’t need my help? You know, I have a lot of resources in my hands. Although these bombing attacks are strange and the military can’t even find anything about the explosives, but it may not be a conventional technology product?” After agreeing to help Rhodes, Tony was still interested in that kind of weird explosion.
If it was Tony from before, he wouldn’t really think too much, he might just think that this kind of explosive should be a new type of special material that will disappear completely with the explosion.
But after seeing the things in SHIELD, X-Men, and League of Defender, Tony’s thinking has been broadened a lot. He understands that there are still many things in the world that cannot be explained by science. If these explosions are caused by people with special abilities then it is normal for the military to find no explosives and the cause.
But because it happens on the battlefield, people with Special Abilities are usually handled by some Special Departments, such as SHIELD. But this incident was still being handled by the military, and Tony raised this question. Tony would not be polite if it was really those people with special abilities who caused these bombings.
“You mean… maybe it’s a Mutants or a person with some Superpower?” Rhodes asked in a low voice after hearing Tony’s words.
Rhodes did not think about this possibility, but this topic is very sensitive in society. Mutants may be hated by many people in society, but they will not interfere in the war, especially standing on the opposite side of the government, which will make their situation more difficult.
Moreover, the military has also invited someone from a Special Department to test the Bombing Sites and they had concluded that these were not done by the Mutants.
“It shouldn’t be. The military has also asked the relevant department to test it. There is no sign of any remaining Mutant Ability.” Rhodes replied while shaking his head.
“Isn’t it? Then it must be a new type of explosive. If there is any progress, please tell me in time. I am also very interested in this Mandarin.” Hearing Rhodes’ answer, Tony frowned and said.
“I know, with Iron Man’s support, there should be no problem finding this Mandarin.” Rhodes agreed.
“Mr. Stark! Can you give me an autograph?” Just when Tony and Rhodes were about to finish talking, two kids ran towards him and looked at Tony excitedly.
“Haha! Of course!” Tony smiled and agreed, looking at the child who admired him.
Then, the little boy put a picture of Tony in his Armor on the table, and Tony also took the little boy’s crayons and signed it.
“Thank you! Mr. Stark!”
