Chapter 510 The Beginning of a Legend (3 in 1 chapter)

Luke knew that Laura had an impatient heart.

It was really hard for her to stay quiet for so long after what happened last time.

But Anna also contributed to this.

Anna is still a member of the Holy Trinity.

But now he has been turned against.

After the last incident, the people from Holy Trinity seemed to have disappeared.

The business was still running, but the top executives of Trinity were gone.

No one contacted Anna, and Anna couldn't contact other people in Trinity.

She was not considered a core figure in the Holy Trinity, so she knew very little.

However, even though she knew some of Trinity's industries, she was helpless now.

After all, the Holy Trinity has existed for a long time and it is not something Anna can change.

Even with the help of the Qin family, they could only manage the Crawford family's business better.

Anna still persuaded Laura not to continue to make trouble.

Holy Trinity is no pushover, and Anna is concerned about Laura's safety.

But Laura was confident that Trinity would not touch her until it actually found the supernatural relics that her father Richard was studying.

Luke agreed with Anna's proposal.

But this time, Laura decided to drag Luke into the water...

With Luke as a plug-in, Laura is more confident.

Luke finally agreed to Laura's request.

There was no other way. Laura almost killed herself by playing with Luke at home in order to go out and have fun...

Just as Laura began to prepare for a new ruins exploration plan, an accident happened.

Luke was silent for a long time after receiving the call.

Finally, he just said to Pepper on the other end of the phone:

"Take good care of little Morgan. I'll bring Tony back safely. I promise."

Yes, it was Pepper who found Luke.

Recently, Tony went to Afghanistan to show the latest weapons to the military in order to earn money for milk powder for little Morgan.

On the way back to the base, the military convoy was attacked.

There was no Stark's body at the scene, only blood.

When the news reached Pepper, she almost fainted.

Fortunately, she remembered Luke and called him hurriedly.

And Luke knew that the moment Stark became Iron Man, the wheel of the Marvel Universe began to turn.

Suddenly, a sense of urgency came over Luke.

Luke flew to Afghanistan as soon as possible.

Seeing Rhodes, Luke asked him seriously.

"On the return trip of the convoy, your air force didn't even send air support? You didn't learn the lesson of the Russians in Afghanistan at all."

This left Rhodes speechless.

There's nothing wrong with that.

In Luke's opinion, the Americans used high technology to crush backward places like Afghanistan, but without air superiority it would be tantamount to destroying their own strength.

You know, this place is not called the Graveyard of Empires for nothing.

The veterans here have much more combat experience than the US military.

Afghanistan has the right time, right place and right people.

The reason why the Americans have persisted until now is entirely due to their high-tech equipment that crushes the local guerrillas.

But now that it has happened, there is no point in blaming Rhodes.

He looks very anxious now.

But half a day later, Luke's team arrived in Afghanistan.

There was no time to rest. The team members didn't even get off the plane. They picked up Luke and headed straight for the mountains of Afghanistan.

Luke used Captain Jack's compass, and in the sparsely populated mountainous areas of Afghanistan, he was able to find his destination with great accuracy.

The place where Stark was imprisoned was found, but...

According to the footage sent back by the unmanned spider, Stark's condition is not good...

At this moment he is swinging a hammer in the cave.

Looking at the progress, less than 10% has been completed.

After thinking for a moment, Luke decided to let Stark complete the project.

He needs time.

"Grandpa, prepare to mobilize funds to short the Stark Group's stocks."

The old man agreed to Luke's request without asking why.

But Luke was not idle during this time.

He led a team to ambush this group of terrorists who were out purchasing.

He also asked Rhodes to frequently send out reconnaissance drones near the valley where the terrorists were stationed.

The UAVs used by the U.S. military are very different from the ones Luke uses himself.

The sensor alone is more than one level lower.

They followed the route Luke requested and flew over the valley where the terrorists were for several days, but they were blind and did not notice the terrorists.

However, this also made the terrorists anxious.

Fortunately, Stark's progress was very fast. Just when he had completed 99% of the progress, Luke was ready to take action.

Stark and Dr. Ethan, who was also imprisoned by the terrorists, planned to start assembling the iron shell early the next morning.

But in the middle of the night, they heard heavy gunfire in the camp.

Before they could react, the door was kicked open.

"FBI... put your hands up~ Hey, Tony, what a coincidence."

Stark was surprised and delighted to see Luke wearing a suit, smoking a cigar and holding a Thompson submachine gun.

Luke's outfit says it all.

He knew that Luke came here specifically to rescue him.

But Luke saw his embarrassing look clearly.

Damn it, why the hell did you bring a professional camera with you on this mission...

Luke put down the Thompson, took out a professional SLR camera from behind him, and started taking pictures of Stark.

"Stop it, Luke, let's get out of here quickly..."

Luke waved his hand and said with a smile:

"No hurry, wait a little longer, let the bullets fly for a while."

After saying that, he began to visit Stark's temporary prison.

Very messy, very Stark style.

Coming to a pile of parts, Luke flicked his fingers and asked Stark.

"Tony, this is your jailbreak tool?"

Stark stared with dead eyes at Luke who was looking around and knocking around.

"Almost. It's mainly bulletproof."

It was then that Luke noticed the "lightbulb" in Stark's chest.

Luke asked Stark after taking a closer look.

"Are you dissatisfied with your slow death?"

Stark explained to Luke helplessly.

"It's already good that I was rescued in such a shabby place. Can you expect there to be top surgeons here?"

Luke looked at Dr. Ethan next to him and smiled.

"How can we save you without a top surgeon?"

Ethan just smiled in response to Luke's kindness.

After a while, the gunfire outside stopped.

Patis and Guaitou came here dragging a bald terrorist.

The guy was shot once in the body and once in the leg.

After being tied to a stool by Patis, Luke took out a bottle of transparent potion and poured it directly into his mouth without waiting for him to speak.

Ten seconds later, Luke looked at the terrorist and asked:

"Name?"

This guy said a lot of names...

"Which organization do you belong to?"

"Arab Free Democratic Front for Afghanistan."

"Why kidnap Tony Stark?"

"To get more money and weapons."

Before Luke could speak, Stark asked:

"Where did you get your weapons?"

"It was a wealthy American who sent someone to contact us and wanted to kill Tony Stark."

Luke then asked:

"Why didn't you kill him?"

"We want him to help us make weapons to fight the U.S. military and other local Afghan forces."

Stark gritted his teeth and asked:

"Who is it? Tell me, who is he?"

"Obadiah Stane, he was the one who gave us the weapons and funds to kill Tony Stark."

Hearing this answer, Stark was silent for a long time.

Luke continued to ask him details about how the two of them were connected, how the transaction was done, and so on.

After knowing the answer he wanted, Luke asked Stark.

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

Stark was silent for a long time, then shook his head.

Luke shook his head at Patis and Strangehead, and the two dragged the terrorist leader out.

Turning to Stark, he said:

"As expected, an arms dealer who does not sell weapons to hostile forces is not a qualified arms dealer."

Stark looked up at Luke.

"Can you guarantee that what this guy said is true?"

Luke smiled and took out a bottle of transparent potion from behind him.

"Veritaserum, it will tell you what you ask. Do you want to try it? It's non-toxic and has no side effects. It's said to taste delicious."

Stark stared at Luke with dead eyes.

"Hey, Luke, stop kidding. I'm serious."

Luke took back the potion and shrugged.

"I'm serious. I'm not kidding. The entire interrogation process just now was recorded. Although it's not enough to convict him, it's enough to make him feel uncomfortable for a while."

Stark thought silently for a while and then said to Luke:

"Luke, can I do this on my own?"

Luke smiled and nodded in agreement.

He knew that Stark had feelings for Obadiah. If it weren't for this incident, he would never believe that Obadiah would harm him.

Luke asked the team to check the cave again and collect some intelligence and evidence.

He himself slipped out and took a tour of the terrorist camp.

The weapons of the Stark Group are still anonymous...

You can get a batch without spending any money, so you make money.

Finally, Luke saw Tony and Ethan leading the team members out with a bunch of parts and asked curiously:

"What are you still doing with this pile of junk?"

The Stark Assassin also recovered and said to Luke:

"Take it back and continue research."

Luke shook his head.

"Don't bring it with you. Let's leave as soon as possible. The blueprints are in your head anyway. Go back and build a better one."

Stark thought about it and decided to listen to Luke.

"I'm going to blow up this place, hurry up."

Stark asked Luke half an hour later.

"You guys are still carrying nuclear bombs on missions?"

Luke just smiled, but Mulder beside him waved his hand and said to Stark:

"Basic operation, don't be silly..."

Stark stared with dead eyes.

Who is talking to you...

But then he was attracted by the interior cabin of the Pelican, which Luke and his team flew on.

After all, he is still a science and engineering man...

But Luke didn't discuss the plane with him.

"After you get back, I'll let you see your wife and children first, and then I'll arrange for you to have surgery. This thing on your chest is too dangerous."

Stark knew that Luke had a high IQ and education, and the danger was not that the Ark reactor would explode, but the radiation.

But he hesitated.

Luke also saw his concerns.

"Hey, Tony, don't worry, I will perform the surgery myself."

Stark looked at Luke in surprise.

"You can do this? Do you have a license?"

Luke gave a mysterious smile.

"The one without a license is the master..."

"Fuck, are you kidding me? Luke, I'm serious."

"Don't worry. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting someone else perform the surgery on you."

"No, I need to think about this matter."

Luke put his arm around his shoulders and said patiently:

"Tony, think about it, when you were holding Pepper and little Morgan, could you bear to let them be exposed to the danger of radiation?"

"Think about it, what if the radiation makes you lose the ability to love Pepper early?"

"What if you die from radiation? Someone will live in your house, sleep with Pepper, beat up Little Morgan, and spend your fortune..."

Stark hurriedly stopped Luke's association.

"Stop, stop, stop... Stop talking, I really owe you... Just do as you say, you promise, you mean it."

"Don't worry, I won't let Pepper be a widow..."

"Fuck, it's you that I'm worried about, okay?"

"Hey, I'm Morgan's godfather, so... it's not impossible for me to be his biological father..."

"Fuck, Luke, I'm going to fight you..."

Back at the base... Rhodes was still very excited to see Stark alive and kicking.

"Hey Tony, good to see you're okay..."

"Thank you, James, thank you Air Force..."

Rhodes looked at Stark in confusion.

Then he looked back at Luke.

"Hey, Luke, you're trying to trick me?"

Luke spread his hands.

"I didn't tell Tony about this. He figured it out on his own."

Rhodes looked helpless.

"You can't blame me for this. I'm just a technical officer."

Luke patted his shoulder.

"Tony is just teasing you. He's just in a bad mood."

Rhodes nodded.

"Yeah, no one would be in a good mood if they were kidnapped."

"No, he's worried that you're going to snatch Pepper and little Morgan from him..."

After saying that, he took Stark to the temporary rest area.

Leaving Rhodes confused.

Rob Pepper? Little Morgan? What the hell?

In the camp, Stark finally regained his energy after a hearty meal.

Luke asked him to pack up and return to the United States.

Pepper was about to come, but was stopped by Luke.

Not only that, he also asked Lilith to take Pepper and little Morgan to his home.

Although Luke's villa in Malibu is usually deserted, Luke knows that the butler Chen Bo has a group of people setting up operations outside the villa.

And they are very professional. A group of people may not be able to break into the villa successfully.

So, for Pepper's safety, Lilith brought the mother and daughter over.

Stark was still wearing the same outfit he had been wearing when the terrorists held him captive.

You can smell the smell of pickled cabbage from a distance...

After hearing what Luke said, Stark smelled the smell on his body and almost vomited the food he had just eaten...

Rhodes pointed to the reactor on Stark's chest and said:

"Hey, Tony, will this thing leak electricity when you take a shower? Does it have other functions? For example: vibration, vibration, high-frequency vibration..."

When Luke heard this, he immediately became interested.

"This can have..."

Stark gave them both a middle finger.

"Get lost...you two bastards..."

After cleaning up, Stark still looked like a human being...

Luke's team returned to Los Angeles first.

He himself took Stark and Rhodes back on a private plane.

After all, big planes are more comfortable. This is a plane that will cross half the world.
