When Stark finished the interview and was about to return to the team display area, the other party took action.

The man walked out of the cargo transport channel.

At this time, Stark was walking towards the fleet display area.

There are no reporters or other people on this road.

He was wearing the orange overalls of an emergency worker.

Slowly walk towards Stark's direction.

By the time Stark's bodyguards noticed him, he had already unzipped his shirt and drawn his weapon.

Those are two whips.

Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he activated the device on his body.

His work clothes burned immediately, revealing an exoskeleton filled with electricity.

The bodyguards had never seen such a situation before, and just as they were about to speak out to stop it, they were attacked by the electric whip.

Fortunately, the bodyguards were very skilled and managed to dodge it.

But the huge electric current hitting the ground also caused sputtering.

The bodyguards quickly protected Stark and retreated.

The reporters in the distance seemed to have taken stimulants and pointed all kinds of cameras at that place.

Then, a gunshot was heard from another passage.

Stark turned around suddenly and saw that it was Luke, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The man holding the electric whip fell down.

Luke didn't blow his head off, this was a scene for reporters and it would be too bloody.

He just hit the man in the thigh.

After he fell to the ground, he tried to struggle to get up.

But the firefighters nearby started to "wash" him with a water gun.

As we all know, water can conduct electricity...

So this guy was shocked by the whip on his body a few times, and then his equipment exploded...

He also completely fainted.

There were too many reporters and cameras at the scene, so Luke did not show up.

It was the scene that Happy took the local police to handle.

Stark was taken to a safe area by a group of bodyguards.

Stark was relieved to see Luke.

"what's the situation?"

Luke shrugged.

"I don't know either. I'll contact the Monaco police and see."

"Is it because I'm so handsome?"

"I think it's more like your ex-boyfriends..."

"Wodfake? I haven't had another woman in years."

Pepper and little Morgan hurried over from a distance.

"Tony, are you okay?"

Stark hugged Pepper and little Morgan, smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

The scene was handled quickly, the suspect was electrocuted and the equipment on his body short-circuited.

The police took off his equipment in the ambulance, then handcuffed him and took him to the hospital.

After Happy negotiated with the police, he returned to the VIP lounge and told Stark about the situation.

The identity of the suspect has not yet been determined and needs to be further investigated by the Monaco police.

Luke took out a tablet, which showed that Lilith had found the suspect's identity through the entry information of Monaco Customs.

"Ivan Vanko, a Russian..."

After reading it, Luke handed the tablet to Stark.

"This guy's father has some connection with your father, but I think this guy may not be mentally normal."

Stark took the tablet from Luke and browsed the information of Ivan Vanko.

Looking at the information on the tablet, Stark's expression gradually became serious.

After reading the last line, Stark sighed.

"It happened during my father's time. I'm not very clear about the details."

"Lilith, investigate what happened back then."

Lilith quickly updated the information on the tablet.

According to S.H.I.E.L.D. file records, Ivan Vanko's father worked with Howard Stark to develop the Ark Reactor.

There had been a breakthrough.

But Ivan Vanko's father, Anton Vanko, fled to the United States from the former Soviet Union.

By chance, he and Stark worked on the development of the Ark Reactor.

Because the Ark reactor has made a major breakthrough in the use of energy, this also caused a disagreement between the two.

Anton Vanke wanted to use the Ark Reactor to make money, but Howard proposed to further improve the Ark Reactor and chose to conceal the news.

In the end, Howard had to use a series of means to send Anton Vanko back to Russia as a spy.

This also led to Anton Vanko being sentenced in Russia and exiled to Siberia.

Eventually, he died of illness there.

In fact, both Luke and Stark can understand Howard Stark's approach.

With the level of technology at that time, it was impossible to produce this thing.

Once it is announced to the world, no one, not even the military-industrial complex and the oil tycoons, will be able to tolerate it.

That was the beginning of the peg between oil and the US dollar. Once the Ark reactor came out, it would bring disaster.

Just because of this one thing, Howard couldn't withstand the pressure.

There is no way the U.S. government, the military-industrial complex, or the oil tycoons would allow this thing to come out.

Howard was sensible enough.

But it is a bit difficult to deal with Ivan Vanko.

Stark has no idea about him at all, but Luke shows him the equipment that the Monaco police seized from him.

It is also a small Ark Reactor.

To be honest, more than half of the Iron Man Armor's combat power comes from the Ark Reactor.

If this stuff gets out...

Stark thought of this and looked at Luke.

Luke told him:

"The United States and Monaco do not have an extradition treaty, so we can only settle this once and for all..."

After saying this, Luke made a hand gesture.

But Stark was a little confused.

He is not stupid, but he cannot just kill a life like that.

Luke sighed and patted Stark's shoulder.

Then he got up and left.

Stark sat there in a daze for a long time and sighed.

Stark understood the friendship between men, but he just couldn't get over the psychological barrier.

Luke patted his shoulder, meaning that he would take care of the matter for him.

He understood what Luke meant, but he wasn't the cold-blooded type.

Luke used his identity to meet Ivan Vanko in the hospital.

Tell him straight to the point.

"It was me who shot you."

Ivan Vanko, who had been disdainful and in a daze, turned his head and looked at Luke.

Luke took out his tablet and called up the data recorded by S.H.I.E.L.D.

He handed it to Ivan Vanko to have a look.

"If your father and Howard Stark had announced this thing back then, you would all have died without a burial place."

Ivan Vanko thought for a while, then nodded and agreed with Luke.

"Your hatred now is nothing more than a way to vent your poverty for so many years."

"Stark doesn't intend to pursue this matter, but your Ark reactor has been photographed by the media. Can you imagine what the consequences will be?"

Ivan Vanko remained silent for a long time.

Luke knew he knew what the consequences would be.

"Even if you kill Stark, what will you get? A global wanted man. Not a penny of Stark's fortune has anything to do with you."

"Those financial groups will try every means to get the Ark Reactor technology from you, and even some countries. Think about what will happen to you then?"

Ivan Vanko didn't say anything, but just continued to stare at the ceiling in a daze.

Luke pulled out a business card and placed it next to him.

"Call me when you figure it out. This is your only chance."

Just as Luke was about to stand up, Ivan Vanko asked Luke.

"What's the difference between you and those people?"

Luke smiled.

"I'm Chinese, I'm trustworthy. Also, I'm a good friend of Stark's."

Luke added before leaving.

"Drink less cheap vodka. It can easily burn your brain."

Without waiting for Ivan to react, Luke left.

In Luke's opinion, this guy's train of thought is indeed very strange, but he is not a real bad person.

If you really want to kill Stark, given his intelligence, there are better ways.

But he chose the coolest way...

I'm already wearing an exoskeleton, so why can't I upgrade to an iron armor?

Stark has already set a precedent. He didn't use the iron armor or long-range weapons, but instead used two whips.

Since he can make an Ark reactor, his IQ must be quite high.

But Luke couldn't understand why he did this.

In the end, I can only blame it on the fact that I drank too much low-quality vodka and my mind was not clear.

As Luke said, the footage of this guy attacking Stark was broadcast worldwide.

The matter of the Ark reactor cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

Those big forces will definitely keep their eyes on him.

But what no one expected was that the first to take action was Hammer Industries, Stark's old rival.

However, since Stark sold the weapons department to the Qin family, Hammer Military Industries has had a harder time.

They need this kind of R&D talent now.

Because of Luke, the Qin family's weapons company became even stronger after merging with Stark's weapons department.

Even weapons for the civilian market are a field that Hammer Military Industries would hesitate to enter.

Hammer Military Industries can only do some thankless, low-profit projects in the lowest-end fields.

Produce weapons with expired patents, modify and upgrade some military weapons, etc.

But it is only maintained by the low-profit projects that have flowed out of the hands of large enterprises.

It just so happened that Justin Hammer, the boss of Hammer Military Industries, was also in Monaco this time.

He immediately used his connections and US dollars to pave the way for a meeting with Ivan Vanko.

After confirming that he could make the Ark Reactor and the Iron Robot, they immediately arranged to smuggle him back to the United States.

Ivan Vanko said in confusion: I didn’t fucking promise you.

Justin Hammer, who is used to being a domineering president, doesn't care about Ivan Vanko's thoughts at all.

This is the trump card in his hand. He plans to win a large order from the Ministry of Defense in the future. How could he let it go?

Monaco is not his territory, and the important thing is to get Ivan Vanko back as soon as possible.

But Luke has been keeping an eye on this matter.

When Justin Hammer started running, Luke knew it.

I have to say, Luke is really good at persuading people.

Although Ivan Vanko's brain circuits are sometimes abnormal, he is not stupid.

What Luke said was immediately confirmed by Justin Hammer.

Hammer Military Industries is just an appetizer.

The truly big organizations, big forces, and big countries have not taken any action yet.

That was the beginning of Ivan Vanko's misery.

If he doesn't hand over his skills, he will have to live a life worse than death every day.

If he surrenders his skills, he will die immediately.

So, after Luke persuaded him, he was indeed moved.

I just didn't expect Justin Hammer to move so quickly...

But Luke has everything under control.

The reason why he didn't move was that he wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The process by which Justin Hammer got Ivan Vanko away was not legal.

Once we return to the United States, Luke will have more evidence in his hands.

Although not lethal, these materials are enough to cause significant fluctuations in Hammer Industries' stock price in the market.

By using some financial means, such as making a large sum of money or absorbing Hammer Military Industries, it would be fine.

It will depend on what Luke wants to do then.

In fact, Hammer Military is just a small brother of the military-industrial complex.

We are all part of each other, and cross-holdings have a bit of kinship meaning.

It's not a good idea to swallow them all, but it's okay to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

The assets of Hammer Military Industries are nothing in the eyes of the big conglomerates.

But this guy is still someone else's younger brother after all, and it would be embarrassing for everyone if he ruined their reputation.

Because of the attack, Luke also followed the Stark family back to Los Angeles.

Pepper was busy in New York dealing with the Stark Industries Expo.

Luke and Stark returned to Los Angeles with little Morgan.

After returning to Los Angeles, Luke found Jessica first.

He showed Jessica the information compiled by Lilith.

Above is the real information of the guy named Miller.

Jessica didn't feel any emotion after reading it.

The look he gave Luke was also calm.

"Brother, although my academic performance is not good, I am not stupid... I have thought it through a long time ago."

Luke smiled and said to her:

"Then after I banned you from interacting with him, you still secretly called him."

Jessica coughed awkwardly and said:

"I...I just wanted to get some information out of him, maybe I could get some useful information."

Luke put his arm around his shoulders.

"Those professional agents are not something a little girl like you can handle."

After hearing what Luke said, Jessica looked at Luke disappointedly.

"Brother, I know I'm the dumbest person in our family, but...but I also want to help you."

Luke rubbed Jessica's head and comforted her:

"Beth's grades aren't that great either, but that's okay. Maybe you haven't found your area of ​​expertise yet."

"Take your time. Even if you achieve nothing, our family can still support you. You can still be that carefree and happy little princess."

Jessica hugged Luke tightly.

"Thank you, brother. I feel much better now that you said that."

Luke patted her on the back.

“Eat, drink and have fun, as long as you don’t overdo it, and don’t always think about starting a business.”

Jessica sighed.

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, I know I'm not that kind of person."

After comforting Jessica, Luke still had a lot of things to do.

"Boss, there has been a new breakthrough in the base in the asteroid belt. Nomark (see Chapter 572 for details) has recovered to normal."

"Great, let's go check it out."

"Boss, there has been new progress with Bourne. He has successfully infiltrated the Eden Cult."

"Good news indeed."

Lilith continued:

"But according to Bourne's analysis, the leader of the Eden Cult often mentioned the model speech, and also prepared multiple underground bases that can withstand nuclear weapons attacks."

Luke frowned.

"So, he means that there is a high probability of a nuclear war in the future?"

"Bourne analyzed that the other party could not be predicting, but had some specific intelligence information."

After thinking about it, Luke still took the matter of mushroom eggs very seriously.

"Let's observe Normark for a while, and then we'll go to Montana first."

"Okay, boss."
