Chapter 591 New Combat Power and New Strategy

Johnny knocked Ivan unconscious with a punch and carried him away.

Luke looked around and gave a mysterious smile.

Then he put his hands in his pockets and followed Johnny.

However, after he left, there was a metal object where he was standing.

After Luke and his companions disappeared in the distance, a man walked out from the side and picked up the metal object on the ground.

Looking at the direction where Luke left in the distance, the man also smiled.

Then disappeared into the night.

When Ivan woke up, he found himself lying in a room full of futuristic technology style.

Just as he looked around to figure out where he was, the door to the room opened automatically.

The person who walked in was Luke, followed by a tall bald man.

How tall was he? Based on his own height, Ivan estimated that Luke was at least 1.9 meters tall.

Given the current height difference between the two, Luke was only about as high as his abdomen.

This guy is at least 8 meters tall.

He guessed correctly, the bald man behind Luke was Chad Normark.

He has returned to his normal human form, but... because of his special genes, he has become taller after his recovery.

Although they are no longer afraid of sunlight, they still cannot eat human food.

But Normark didn't care.

He was content to return to his normal human form.

He no longer needed to suck blood, but from then on, his food became liquid food, and the purity requirement was very high.

Because he has no stomach...

Normark didn't care about any of that.

All he cares about is whether he's still a monster or not.

In fact, he still has feelings for Nisha, after all, she is his own sister.

It’s just that I’m still a little bit uncomfortable with the way he is.

For this purpose, Luke specially built a strong gravity room for him.

After being in a long-term high-gravity environment, his body became stronger.

Although it is not as strong as Hulk's physical defense, it is more balanced.

After Lilith's testing, Nomark's physical values ​​were very balanced.

This is also the result of utilizing the blood of the Greek gods.

In fact, the experiments Nomark underwent in the early days were intended to stimulate the blood of the gods.

But it didn't work because they took the wrong path.

If you want to inspire the blood of the gods, technological methods will not work.

Only by using the methods of mysticism can the blood of the gods be properly stimulated.

Nomark became the first experimental subject.

But in the end it was successful.

This is also a way out that Luke found for Selene's vampires.

Just seeing Nomark's figure, Luke would never let Selene become like this...

However, the experiment will continue, but the vampires cannot be used for the time being.

Seeing Luke come in, Ivan looked at him with a complicated expression.

"In the final analysis, you are no different from those people. Forget it. I will not give up the Ark..."

Then he couldn't continue.

Because Luke took out several arc reactors of different sizes from his pocket.

Luke looked at the stunned Ivan and said with amusement:

"Do you really think the Ark Reactor is something amazing?"

Looking at the pile of Ark reactors of different sizes in front of him, Ivan really didn't know what to say.

But then he realized why.

"Stark gave it to you? I didn't expect him to be so generous to you. I should have thought that you two were in the same group."

Luke didn't respond, but took out a battery from his pocket that was slightly larger than the No. 1 battery.

"This is my open-top 0 battery, slightly less powerful than your palladium arc reactor."

Ivan stared at the battery in Luke's hand with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"This...this is impossible..."

Luke gave a disdainful smile.

"What's impossible? Your broken thing is nothing but a joke among all the major civilizations in the universe."

After saying that, Luke raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the sound of mechanical transmission came from the wall.

The original wall suddenly opened, revealing the scenery of the asteroid belt outside.

Ivan was stunned as he looked at the scene outside...

"I...we're not on Earth?"

"Haha~"

This "hehe" is really just an interjection...

After a long silence, Ivan turned and looked at Luke.

"What on earth do you want to do by bringing me here?"

Luke raised an eyebrow.

"Can you accept the reality now?"

Ivan didn't answer, but just stared at Luke.

Seeing him like this, Luke continued:

"You are already dead on Earth. You should know that you are just a person with no background and no identity. What will happen if the major forces know that you have the Ark Reactor technology?"

Ivan had already thought this through and nodded in agreement with Luke.

"You are dead, but the Ark reactor technology has leaked out."

Ivan stared at Luke with wide eyes, then thought about it and he understood.

Luke's pile of Ark reactors is proof of that.

Proves that he has Ark Reactor technology.

But Luke has better technology, more versatile.

His batteries can be connected in parallel and series, but the Ark Reactor cannot.

Therefore, although his No. 0 battery is not as powerful as the Ark Reactor, it has better expandability.

Luke continued:

"The technology of the Ark Reactor has been acquired by a certain Eastern power. You need to stay here for a while, and then I will help you with plastic surgery and change your identity. How about that?"

Ivan nodded and looked at Luke doubtfully.

"You're really going to let me go?"

Luke shook his head.

"will not."

Ivan already knew how to deal with Luke, so he didn't say anything and just waited for Luke to continue.

The previous Luke just gave him the demeanor of a capitalist.

But every time, Luke could give him a "surprise", so he simply stopped guessing and just waited for Luke to reveal his purpose.

Luke walked to the window, looked at the starry sky in the distance and said to him:

"Do you know where this is?"

Ivan looked at the starry sky outside the window and shook his head.

"This is the asteroid belt of the solar system."

Luke then asked him:

"Do you believe in aliens?"

Ivan thought for a moment, nodded slowly and said:

"You mentioned civilization in the universe in your words just now. I believe you already know about it."

In fact, Ivan thought that Luke obtained the remains of alien civilization and thus developed his current power.

The big man behind him, although he looks like a human, his height is not something that a human can have.

"Do you know what the Europeans did on the American continent?"

Ivan nodded, then his expression turned a little horrified.

"You mean, those aliens are going to treat us like the Indians?"

Luke turned to look at him, smiled and nodded.

"In fact, aliens have come to Earth a long time ago, but Earth has always been protected by certain people, so it has been able to develop steadily to its current level."

Ivan raised an eyebrow.

"Don't tell me you've been protecting the Earth."

Luke shook his head.

"It is better to become stronger yourself than to rely on others for protection."

Ivan agreed with what Luke said.

Luke looked at him and said seriously:

"So, we invite you to become a member of our Earth Defense Front."

Ivan didn't expect Luke to invite him, so he was silent for a moment and asked Luke.

"why me?"

Luke smiled.

Since Ivan asked this question but didn't say no, it was most likely true.

"Don't you want to clear your father's name? You've also read that document. If it's made public, your father's reputation will be ruined forever."

Seeing that Ivan didn't say anything, it was obvious that he had heard it, so Luke continued:

"You are seeking revenge on Stark, but you have chosen the wrong target and the wrong method."

"Whether it's the U.S. government or the Russian government, you don't have the ability to make big news, but in the end you'll be the one who suffers."

"Even if you win, you'll still be a pauper and a wanted man."

"If you lose, you will still be a pauper and go to jail."

"You will only bring shame upon your father by then. The son of a traitor is a terrorist."

"So, don't drink vodka anymore..."

Ivan was speechless after hearing Luke's last sentence...

What the hell does this have to do with vodka...

But Luke knows how to persuade people...

These words really touched Ivan.

"What good can I gain from joining you?"

Seeing that Ivan was interested, Luke knew that the plan was almost done.

Smiling, she put her arm around his shoulders and walked out.

"Come on, I'll show you the world of the rich. Let's drink some good wine first, and forget about vodka..."

As they walked, Luke introduced Nomark to Ivan.

During this period, Ivan will have to stay here for a few days. When the storm has passed, we will bring Ivan back.

Ever since she met Luke at Hammer Industries last time, Sophia has been worried that her identity would be exposed.

But her superior assured her that Luke would not betray her.

Although Sophia received assurances from her superiors, she was still a little worried.

The main reason was that she didn't believe that a capitalist's son like Luke would be one of theirs.

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure it out.

Although she failed to catch Ivan Vanko, her superiors and colleagues at SHIELD still trusted her.

What she didn't expect was that the FBI found Ivan Vanko's body outside Hammer Military Industries.

After DNA comparison, it was confirmed to be Ivan Vanko himself.

All characteristics were consistent with the records and were therefore recorded.

But his killer has not been caught.

But there is really no way to investigate this matter further.

Justin Hammer has confessed.

Faced with the evidence left by Ivan, he had no excuse.

It was he who secretly brought Ivan into the United States.

He also asked Ivan to develop the Iron Soldier.

He gave all the orders.

unambiguous evidence.

But Justin Hammer is a rich man after all, and the people behind him are unwilling to give up on him.

So, he has a very large team of lawyers.

Justin Hammer may not end up going to jail, but his trip to the court will have an impact, and he will be subject to various restrictions in the future.

In the end, this incident can only disgust Hammer Industries and the people behind them.

But by then, Luke had already made a fortune and ran away.

He didn't want Hammer Military Industries, as it would be of no benefit to either him or the Qin family.

Other consortiums would not allow Hammer Military Industries to be swallowed up like this.

So, it’s just about making some money, and we’re still friends for the sake of face, so it’s okay.

No one would give up the opportunity to make money. On the contrary, if something happens to the Qin family's company, they will also make a fortune.

This is normal business operation.

But the same cannot be said about Ivan.

Ivan has now been confirmed dead, and the subsequent case can only be left unresolved.

Because Ivan has the Ark reactor technology in his hands.

Although it was only the most basic kind, the kind that Stark had knocked out in the caves of Afghanistan.

But it is still a hot technology.

The only forces that could be interested in him are those from other countries.

Seeing that he couldn't take Ivan away, he killed him to silence him.

The FBI and spy agencies in other countries know roughly who did it, but there is no evidence and they cannot find out.

This was done so neatly and efficiently, you can tell at first glance that it was done by a professional.

Therefore, the case was directly classified and then left in a corner to gather dust.

Ivan's case ended like this.

But it is impossible for Sofia to stay in Stark Group any longer.

Luke had warned Pepper and Stark before.

They were prepared, and this time when something happened, Sofia and the people from SHIELD protected Pepper and Morgan Jr.

The relationship between the two sides eased a bit, but Sophia still couldn't stay in Stark Group.

Sofia also followed her superiors' instructions and returned to S.H.I.E.L.D.

What she didn't know was that no matter where she went, there was an invisible drone hovering over her.

This Stark Expo was a mess.

But Stark doesn't care about that.

It’s nothing more than spending some money.

The Stark Group does not belong to him alone, he just owns a majority of the shares.

The other part of the private investment is with Luke.

The money Luke earns is increasing rapidly every year, and the days when both sides make money are very happy.

In addition, because this incident was caused by Hammer Industries' iron soldiers, Hammer Industries also suffered heavy losses.

This also caused the share price of Hammer Military Industries to fall further.

Luke was secretly happy while watching the show, not knowing whether Justin Hammer would continue to stay as the chairman of Hammer Military Industries.

Nomark and Ivan stayed at the space base in the asteroid belt, where it was very quiet.

Nomark and Ivan became good friends.

Both of them are generous people, and the supplies here are all high-quality goods.

Normark didn't think much of it when he was alone, but now that he had company, the two of them hit it off immediately.

Let's drink together...

Luke did not restrict them and even asked Lilith to send some supplies.

Ivan was not in a hurry to go back, but stayed quietly in the space base with Nomark.

It was a very peaceful time.

A few months after the Stark Expo incident, there were international rumors that Russia and a certain Eastern power had begun experimenting with the Ark Reactor.

Everyone knows this.

Ivan was killed by one of them.

And that day, the Iron Soldiers all had Ark Reactors on them.

Afterwards, Stark personally recovered part of it.

The rest were either destroyed in the explosion or disappeared.

But the Ark Reactor has not been patented.

They say they developed it themselves and the United States can’t do anything about it.

But the ones who are most angry are Britain and France.

Damn it, you guys are going to Sanchang to have fun by yourselves without taking us with you, right?

Although they are angry, they have no other choice but to cling to the United States.

Stark was not surprised to hear the news.

The reactor with new elements that he had already used was more powerful and longer lasting.

As for the reactors in Russia and a certain Eastern power, he knew that they could only be the same primary palladium reactors as the Iron Soldier.

This doesn't stop him from making money.

Luke had told him that beforehand.

If he owns it, then there will be an antitrust investigation, and everyone will be watching him, which is not a good thing.

Now that Russia and a certain Eastern power have it, the attention on him won't be so obvious.

Anyway, what Stark took out was only the palladium element reactor, he would never take out the new element reactor.

It just suited his taste.

Now we just have to wait for Russia and a certain Eastern power to quickly mature the technology, and then we can all sell it internationally.

Luke had already made arrangements with him about these things.

The Russian reactor was given by Luke. It is owned by Angelica's mother's company, and all the bigwigs of their faction have invested in it.

That night, the person who picked up the storage disk that Luke dropped was Zheng Xian from the Chinese Shenmao Bureau.

That night, Zheng Xian didn't actually come to see Luke.

But Luke suddenly appears and disrupts Zheng Xian's plan.

Luke discovered Zheng Xian, and Zheng Xian also knew that Luke discovered him.

That smile before leaving made the two of them form a tacit understanding.

Anyway, Zheng Xian achieved his goal in the end, and he gave up his original plan and got what he wanted easily.

Although there was no advance planning, running into Zheng Xian just saved Luke from trouble.

Originally, he wanted to send the Ark reactor technology to China through some means.

It's easier to fish if you muddy the water, right?
