Natasha didn't feel any physical pain. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself standing on a tall building. Not far away, Tony Stark was engaged in an intense battle.
"How did I get here?"
"Of course, I saved you," a voice replied.
"Who?"
Natasha instantly became alert, turning her head to look behind her.
She saw a man, a woman, and a child standing there.
"Qinuo?!"
Natasha exclaimed.
"Mm."
Qinuo nodded slightly, ignoring her, his gaze fixed on the sky.
"Natasha, your location has changed. Where are you?"
Nick Fury's voice suddenly came through her earpiece.
"Fury, I'm on the tall building northwest of the armory. I've encountered Qinuo, Poison Ivy, and a child. How much time has passed?"
Natasha walked to a corner, responding with a coded message, her gaze sweeping over Qinuo and the others.
"8 seconds..."
Nick Fury's reply made Natasha's pupils contract. If she counted the time she was discovered and attacked, it was actually less than a second.
"Fury, in an instant, I was transported to a building 300 meters away. And I don't know why, but at such a close distance, Tony Stark didn't detect us?"
Natasha's fingers, signaling the coded message, trembled slightly.
Fury on the other end of the communication was silent, not responding for a long time.
From the moment Qinuo appeared, they had been constantly gathering intelligence about him: flight, super strength, summoning demons, and now super speed and large-scale invisibility.
Who else in this World could control him? A huge sense of unease enveloped Fury's heart.
Fury composed himself and said, "Natasha, ask Qinuo to save Tony and the hostages."
"Understood."
Natasha responded. She had always been quite confident in dealing with men.
Natasha adjusted her breathing, swaying her slender waist, and walked gracefully to Qinuo's side.
"Mr. Qinuo, thank you for saving me."
At this moment, Natasha's face was slightly flushed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with admiration and joy.
That delicate face, coupled with her affectionate gaze, would make anyone's heart flutter.
"You're welcome. Take them away."
Qinuo said, directly opening a portal.
Led by the Assassin Alliance, a group of people emerged from it.
"Oh my god, I'm back from hell."
"I just took a picture, I'm going to post it on Facebook."
"I want to go home and change my pants."
The originally quiet rooftop instantly became noisy, with various sounds intertwining, filled with joy, excitement, and chaos.
Natasha looked at Qinuo in shock, her beautiful eyes wide, full of disbelief.
In just a short second, he had not only saved her but also rescued all the hostages. What an astonishing speed!
"Thank you for your help," Natasha said, her voice tinged with gratitude.
However, seeing that Qinuo had no intention of responding to her, Natasha pursed her lips slightly, her expression a bit awkward.
But she quickly regained her composure and was about to leave with the group of hostages.
It was normal, though. When a man was around other women, he always tried to appear gentlemanly, Natasha thought to herself, her curiosity about Qinuo increasing a little.
Just then, a blonde woman rushed over.
"Is that Mr. Qinuo? Please save Tony."
Pepper's voice was urgent and anxious, her eyes filled with pleading.
Pepper, of course, knew who the battling robot was. Now that Tony was being besieged like this, perhaps only Qinuo could save him. She had heard Tony say that their relationship was quite good.
"Tony's lover, Pepper Potts," Qinuo recognized the woman in front of him.
"Uh, no, I'm just his employee."
Pepper blushed a little, her eyes darting around, seemingly wanting to explain clearly.
"Alright, I'll take it that way."
Qinuo said with a smile, his expression unreadable.
"Mr. Qinuo, can you please save Tony first?"
Pepper pleaded again, her voice even carrying a hint of a sob.
"Yes."
Immediately, Qinuo looked at the factory, his eyes shining with dazzling red light. A red beam of light instantly shot out, directly hitting the armory in the factory.
In an instant, the factory exploded, a huge Fire rising into the sky, and thick smoke spreading out.
Pepper was stunned, standing still blankly, her mouth slightly agape. She only wanted to save Tony and never expected Qinuo to be so simple and crude, directly blowing up the factory.
Natasha also helplessly patted her head, a wave of annoyance washing over her. She had originally intended to handle this matter secretly, but now, how could she cover it up?
"Forget it, let Fury and them worry about it!"
Natasha sighed, giving up on thinking about the troublesome problem.
---
Tony, who was above the factory, was directly blown away. He finally managed to stabilize his body.
"No!"
Tony yelled in despair, watching the factory below explode before his eyes.
He was burning with anxiety, wanting to rush down, but he was firmly blocked by these troublesome mechanical soldiers.
At this moment, he no longer cared about energy consumption and poured all his energy into his chest.
"Unibeam!" he roared.
Beams of energy shot out from his chest, carrying unparalleled power.
Wherever the light reached, the surrounding mechanical soldiers were blasted with huge holes, and metal fragments flew everywhere.
After dealing with all the mechanical soldiers, Tony plunged towards the ground.
At this time, the flames from his thrusters were intermittent and extremely unstable, as if they could extinguish at any moment.
But in the end, he safely reached the ground without incident.
Looking at the armory, which had been bombed into ruins and was still burning with raging Fire, Tony's eyes showed no sign of giving up.
He controlled his armor, which had little energy left, and laboriously searched through the ruins.
Each time he lifted his heavy mechanical arm, it was accompanied by the creaking of the armor's parts and the energy warning lights.
"Jarvis, initiate life scan!"
"Sir, under these circumstances, there can be no survivors..."
"Shut up, I told you to initiate!"
"Yes... scanning..."
Tony nervously watched the projection. There was no flesh and blood tissue in the scan, which could only mean it had turned to charcoal.
On the tall building in the distance,
Qinuo had a teasing expression, imitating Tony's tone and providing a voiceover for him in the distance: "Shut up, I told you to initiate." After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What do you think he's looking for? His employee?" Qinuo asked playfully.
Pepper's face was flushed as she forced herself to say, "It must be. After all, even though he usually doesn't manage things, is a playboy, and arrogant, he's still pretty good to his employees."
Though she said that, her eyes were always fixed on the Iron Man armor in the ruins, and a smile unconsciously hung on her lips.
"Do you all think so too?"
Pepper then came back to her senses, remembering that there was a group of Stark Industries employees behind her, just like her.
"Of course not, our boss never managed us."
"He doesn't even know our names."
The employees complained one after another, but their faces were full of teasing smiles.
