“Did he find Killian?” Tony murmured while staring at the vibrating tablet, and then he connected to the video call.

Call!

Swiping his finger at the tablet, Rogers’ face in the center of the screen quickly expanded to the entire screen. Then, as soon as the call connected, the image of Rogers appeared on the tablet. Peter, who was standing next to Tony, stepped aside after seeing Rogers’ call, making sure that he would not be seen by Rogers.

“Steve, is there news on Killian?” Tony asked faintly when Rogers’s face appeared.

“Well, the Insight System has found Killian.” Upon hearing Tony’s words, Rogers on the opposite side of the video replied seriously.

“It seems that the Insight System is still very valuable. Where is he?” Tony asked.

“He is in New York. Moreover, he seems to be staying in one of the Stark Industries properties and he seems to be going towards another. Are you still in your villa?” Speaking no-nonsense, Rogers replied directly.

However, when he heard that Killian was in New York, Tony’s calm expression suddenly became serious, especially when he heard Rogers say that Killian was going towards Stark Industries’ property, which made Tony even more nervous.

“Where is he now?! And, how do you know he is going to take action against Stark Industries?” With a very bad feeling in his heart, Tony asked quickly.

“Killian is now rushing to the industrial park outside Brooklyn. Is there something like your secret research institute there?” Rogers quickly replied when Tony’s face suddenly became serious.

“Industrial park outside Brooklyn?! Damn! JARVIS, connect me to Pepper!” Hearing Rogers’ answer, Tony’s originally serious face was instantly filled with worry, and he hurriedly shouted to JARVIS.

“Tony, what happened? Is there really something?” Rogers asked curiously when he saw the instant change in Tony’s expression through the camera. However, even if there is something important there, why would Tony contact Pepper, did he require her to deal with it?

“There is indeed a very important place there and they are the most important people. I arranged for Pepper to stay in that place, and there is a safe house!” While connecting JARVIS to Pepper, Tony quickly turned towards Rogers and explained.

Ever since he knew that Killian wanted to deal with him, Tony had hidden Pepper in the safe house for her protection. 

The safe house is in New York, in an industrial park on the Stark site unknown to the outside world. After many years of secret transformation by the Stark Industries, it is already a high-secret test and research site, and its defense is strong.

And Tony also sent an Iron Man team over there, with twenty Iron Man guards by Pepper’s side. But Tony, who has seen the explosive power of those Extremis fighters, can’t guarantee that those Iron Mans would be able to block Killian, especially the kind of network intrusion that can break through JARVIS’S  defense.

“What?! Where is Pepper?!” Hearing Tony’s words, Rogers on the opposite side of the video didn’t respond, and Peter, who was hiding behind Tony, jumped up.

After yelling out loud, Peter covered his mouth and closed it, but the look in his eyes clearly conveyed that he was worried about Pepper.

“Sir, the connection with Ms. Pepper was cut off. Judging by the method of cutting off the network, it should be the same as the previous intrusion into my system.” Just when Tony was feeling worried, JARVIS reported another very bad news.

Bang!

“Damn it! Send out all the Iron Man you can use right away and kill that Killian and his men! If Killian dares to hurt Pepper, I swear, I will tear him apart!” Hearing JARVIS’s report, Tony put his hand on the tablet and he slapped the console with his other hand while commanding loudly.

“Yes, sir.” JARVIS quickly replied after receiving the order. The other party did not invade the core system of JARVIS this time, but they blocked the area where Pepper was located, and also simulated similar signals so that JARVIS wouldn’t notice that the signal was cut off before this.

“Tony, SHIELD already has a special squad on standby. Since they are going after Pepper, I will tell them to stop Killian. Don’t worry, Pepper will be fine.” Although Tony left the tablet aside, Rogers’s voice still came from inside.

Because Tony had told Rogers that he didn’t need SHIELD to intervene, Rogers just let the special team follow Killian’s team and didn’t move. But now, Killian is going to deal with Pepper, so Rogers obviously won’t wait for Tony’s Iron Man to arrive.

“Captain Rogers, thank you! I’m leaving too, I hope Pepper can hold on!” Hearing Rogers’s words, Tony picked up the tablet and said seriously.

“Don’t worry, she will be fine.”

Card!

Then Tony hung up the video call with Rogers. Then, he quickly clicked on the console and directly suspended Lin Rui’s experiment in the laboratory, who had already performed The Cloak attack. 

Because of the soundproofing effect of the laboratory is very good, Lin Rui didn’t hear them outside just now, otherwise, the experiment would have stopped a long time ago and Lin Rui would be already outside.

“Jackson! We are stopping the experiment, Killian is rushing towards Pepper’s location, I need all of us to go there!” Seeing Lin Rui’s figure stopping in the laboratory, Tony opened the laboratory door and shouted.

“En!? Pepper?!” Lin Rui, who was still a little dazed, had a flash of light in his eyes when he heard Tony’s words.

Brush!

Then, Lin Rui, who had not removed The Cloak, had rushed out of the laboratory and appeared in front of Tony and Peter in the blink of an eye.

“What Is Killian doing? How would he know Pepper’s location?!” Lin Rui asked worriedly when he appeared in front of Tony and Peter in an instant.

“He should have judged that by intercepting the signal that I arranged for my Iron Man team there. Now JARVIS can’t contact that side, so the Iron Man’s system over there has probably been invaded. We must set off immediately. Jackson, is anyone in your League of Defender nearby?” While turning around and walking quickly towards the warehouse where the Iron Man Armors were stored, Tony explained to Lin Rui and finally asked one more question.

“Brooklyn? There is indeed a guy there, I will inform him to go there!” Lin Rui replied after thinking about it. The guy Lin Rui thought about is Deadpool. During this time, Deadpool was living in a two-person world with his lover, but their position should be the closest to there.

“Killian! If you really hurt Pepper!…” Now Tony can no longer care about anything else. His own Iron Man Armor may not be reliable under such circumstances. He can only hope that Pepper will continue to be okay.

“Right, Tony, this!” Just when the three of them had arrived at the warehouse that housed the Iron Man Armors, Lin Rui suddenly called out to Tony. When Tony turned around, Lin Rui handed him a metal square box.

“The Cloak?” Tony’s eyes lit up when he saw the metal box Lin Rui handed over.

After this period of testing, the performance of The Cloak is almost the same, and when the Iron Man Armor may fail, Tony would need it. So, Tony had already taken the metal box without showing any hesitation.

Call!

At the next moment, Tony and Lin Rui Peter were already standing in the center of the warehouse.

“J.A.R.V.I.S, Armed!”
