Chapter 419 Is This a Fate?

Beep beep beep!

A piercing siren suddenly sounded from within the armor, and before Tony, who was immersed in anger, could come to his senses the next second, his figure lost control and continued to fall towards the sea.

This sudden "attack" was not actually from a hidden enemy, but from the Apache helicopter that Tony had just shot down.

Since the helicopter lost its propeller, the Apache, which had no vertical lift, was like a headless fly and fell headlong towards the sea.

But here's the problem. Tony just flew a little closer in order to destroy the helicopter's spiral tube shaft with one blow.

The fuselage of the helicopter that fell head-first failed to hit Tony, but the tail rotor at its tail, which was used to maintain horizontal balance, didn't care about that!

I saw that the tail rotor, which was still spinning, drew a twisted arc in the air. It was so desperate that it slapped Tony's Mark 42 armor hard!

Logically speaking, it would be fine if Tony was wearing other armor at this time.

But here’s the embarrassment, this Mark 42 is still a prototype!

Even if Jarvis can control it, the Mark 42 without a combat system does not give Jarvis much room to operate!

He immediately helped Tony make evasive maneuvers, but the blade had a large range!

So, as if it was destined, the miserable Tony fell into the sea...

"Jarvis!"

"Sir, the flight system has failed and is undergoing maintenance and restart."

Jarvis' slightly mechanical voice seemed particularly indifferent at this moment, and Tony's heart suddenly went cold.

Plop!

The Mark 42, which lost its ability to fly, fell into the raging sea water, and then Tony was not given a chance to struggle. The convolutional undercurrent on the sea floor dragged him to the bottom of the sea.

The cold seawater poured into the interior along the damaged cracks in the armor, eroding Tony's remaining living space bit by bit.

Buzz~

The buzzing sound of metal reached Tony's ears through the sea water. Before he could react what it was, a pair of flashing red lights rushed straight towards him like a shadow in the deep sea.

"Shit!"

When the pair of red lights approached, Tony finally realized the true identity of the pair of red lights. Not only were they not some legendary monsters, they were his own silver R8 that had been following him for many years!

Tony subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the resistance of the sea water became his biggest obstacle at this time.

Even though he used all his strength to move his body a long distance, he still seemed very weak when facing the R8.

Bang!

There was a dull crashing sound, and under the influence of sea water and undercurrents, the silver-white R8 sports car collided firmly with the Mark 42 Prodigal Son, and pressed it firmly under the car.

Tony tried several times to break free, but the collapsing coast refused to let him escape at all.

"Tony!"

Watching Tony fall into the sea, Pepper screamed and planned to rush towards the shore, but was stopped by Leni after running two steps.

"He's fine! Don't go there, it's dangerous!"

Leni held Pepper tightly in her arms. The collapse was not over yet. Rushing out at this time would only cause trouble for Tony.

Her radar system has been locked on Tony's position. This guy is very tough, and a little impact will not have any impact on Tony.

The only thing that needs to be worried about is whether the oxygen circulation system of the Mark 42 armor can support it until the armor's thrusters are restarted.

"The flight system restart is complete! Sir, please hold your breath!"

Just like in the movie, Jarvis "reached out" to help Tony and successfully pulled him out of the mud.

The price was that Tony, who was unable to bear the pressure of the seabed, fell into a coma in just an instant...

boom!

Along with a golden stream of light rising into the sky, Leni was silent for a moment as she watched the Mark 42 carrying Tony go away.

Ah this...

I can only say that you are worthy of being the prodigal son of Mark 42!

Did he really fly straight to Tennessee with the unconscious Tony?

He had just soaked in the sea water and walked straight to Tennessee where it had just snowed. Tony must not be frozen at night?

"Leni, that was..."

Pepper, who had been protected in her arms, also noticed the figure speeding away, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but then she was a little confused, where was Tony going?

"It's him, but Tony is in a coma now, and Jarvis is driving the armor now."

Leni looked at the direction Mark 42 was leaving, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Is Tony really destined to suffer this fate? You’re already carrying like this, why can’t you escape?

"Jarvis?"

When Pepper heard this, he looked around in confusion. Apart from the mess around him, where was there any mechanical equipment that could support Jarvis's existence?

Leni also followed Pepper's gaze and looked around, then walked to a ruins and picked up a broken-looking armor helmet.

As if sensing something, the helmet suddenly activated on its own, and a long blue light flashed from inside the damaged visor.

"Jarvis?"

Leni tried to ask, and then Jarvis's voice came from inside the helmet:

"Mr. Stark's life is not in danger, Miss Leni."

After hearing this, Pepper, who was following Lainie, finally put down his worries and took the helmet from Lainie and asked:

"Where is he now? Can you bring him back?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Pepper, the Mark 42 armor is still in the testing phase. There is an abnormality in the remote control system inside the armor. I can't recall it at present."

Jarvis could only say that he was powerless. The travel plan to Tennessee made by Mr. Stark and Miss Lainie had a higher priority. He couldn't contact the subsystem in the armor now, so he couldn't change the itinerary to bring Mr. Stark back.

Lainie sighed after hearing this. Jarvis was just an artificial intelligence butler after all. Although his intelligence was very high, he would still follow the priority to execute orders in terms of behavioral logic.

"Forget it, anyway, I know where he will go. I'll go find him and bring him back."

Sighing, looking at the "Airbus" slowly showing its shape in the sky, Lainie threw the armor helmet into the void.

"Don't worry, I will bring Tony back. It's not safe here anymore. Pepper, you should stay with Skye and the others. I'll let them protect you."

"By the way, Dr. Hansen, please come with us!"

...

Dozens of minutes later, on the airbus-

"So, you suspect Killian is colluding with the Mandarins and has been planning terrorist attacks?"

In the lounge, Lainie stared at Maya Hansen, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, with a particularly sharp look.

"Yes, before this, I thought Killian was being used, but after hearing what you said, the truth is probably the opposite."

Maya Hansen slumped on the sofa, and the scene she least wanted to see happened.

"In that case, I know what happened."

Laini glanced at the people watching the excitement, sighed and continued:

"But since this is just your one-sided statement, we can't believe it, so I need you to tell us everything you know as soon as possible. Only in this way can we stop Killian and Mandarin from doing more dangerous things."

Maya nodded. Since she dared to come to Tony for help, she was mentally prepared to face the Avengers.

Although she didn't know all the people present, the presence of Lainie alone was enough to make her not think of resisting at all.

"Well, then you stay here, my people will protect you until Killian and Mandarin are brought to justice."

Laini glanced at Skye, motioned her to stare at the woman, and then stood up and walked straight to the meeting room where Pepper was.

At this time, she was holding a remote video conference through the holographic screen. She couldn't show up in the company in a short time, so she had to stabilize the emotions of the company first.

"Don't worry about Tony, he just got some minor injuries and is resting. As Christmas is approaching, we decided to give everyone a holiday in advance. Everyone go back and have a good rest. When this incident is over, you can go back to work..."

Through the glass door of the conference room, Lainie looked at Pepper's sad face, thought about it and finally didn't push the door in.

Pepper is under a lot of pressure, and both Tony and Lainie know this very well.

The two of them are usually hands-off managers. They are shareholders in name, but they don't do anything in reality. They leave everything to Pepper.

Now that Tony can't be contacted again, Pepper must take up the banner of the company.
