Spare me! I just wanted to test if Iron Man's name was really that powerful. I didn't want to kill you."
Ivan Vanko felt Death approaching, fear rising in his heart, and began to beg for mercy.
If Tony Stark had killed him in New York, even if he died, Tony Stark would surely bear some blame.
Even if it wouldn't completely ruin Tony Stark's reputation, it would certainly cause him a lot of trouble.
But Tony Stark had taken him away from New York, where ordinary people couldn't see him at all.
Then, if anyone ever brought it up, given Tony Stark's relationship with the Military, it would be easy to completely cover up the matter of his Death.
He wasn't afraid of Death; he regretted that he couldn't drag Tony Stark down.
"Too late."
Tony heard Ivan Vanko's words and said coldly.
Then, the thrusters of Tony's Iron Man Armor burst into flames, accelerating so rapidly that a sonic boom appeared directly in the air.
Ivan Vanko, without the protection of the Iron Man Armor, had his body directly torn into a bloody mess by the terrifying air vortex created by the sonic boom.
Afterward, a palm cannon from Tony swept through, turning everything into dust. After dealing with all of this, Tony flew towards New York.
This was just a small interlude; Tony returned home.
***
Harvey saw Ivan Vanko killed directly by Tony.
He knew that the plan of the guy who wanted to use Ivan Vanko's intellect to create an army similar to the Iron Man Armor, aiming to rival Stark Industries and target Tony, would no longer be implemented.
Originally, according to the timeline, Thor would arrive right after Tony resolved this issue.
Now, although the plan was disrupted, since Ivan Vanko appeared, it also indicated that Thor and Captain America would appear soon.
Immediately, Harvey withdrew his bird's eye view gaze, deep in thought.
Before, even if Ivan Vanko had almost killed Tony, Tony would at most have sent Ivan Vanko to prison.
But now that Tony discovered the other party intended to kill him, he showed no mercy.
After Tony joined the Void God Cult, his conduct undoubtedly changed; he became less merciful and more decisive.
However, as long as Tony didn't lose his mind and violate the Void God Cult's precepts, Harvey wouldn't care whether Tony's style changed.
Then, Harvey focused his attention on the game in front of him.
Although the Marvel Universe was very different from his previous World, games hadn't changed much in this aspect.
Now, in 2011, some new games had been released, giving Harvey many more pastimes.
***
Many people in America didn't realize Tony had killed someone, but S.H.I.E.L.D. did monitor some things.
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury watched Tony, who acted without the slightest hesitation, over and over again, and a sense of caution arose in his heart.
Originally, as the son of Howard Stark, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founders,
As long as Tony understood, his relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. would be closer.
As long as neither side went too far, Tony would not possibly act against S.H.I.E.L.D..
However, after Tony came into contact with Harvey, his personality underwent some changes.
Although Tony had agreed to join S.H.I.E.L.D. at the time, he signed an agreement.
If the enemy was not a super-powered individual, or an urgent special event related to aliens,
They could not actively ask Tony for help.
Nor could they enter Tony's mansion without permission.
If Tony discovered it, he would then choose whether to withdraw from the Avengers.
It could be said that the initiative was not in his hands, but in Tony's hands.
Now, Tony, as the one with the initiative, had become more decisive in his actions, and they also had to consider how to interact with Tony in the future.
Just then, a secret message was sent to Nick Fury's phone.
Nick Fury's eyes narrowed when he saw the message on his phone, and his confidence instantly grew significantly; finally, he had a reliable combat force to use.

After Tony returned home, he met Pepper.
"Tony, where did you go?"
"Why do I smell blood?"
Pepper saw Tony return, her nose twitching slightly, and asked curiously.
"A madman suddenly tried to kill me, so I dealt with it."
Tony didn't deliberately hide it when he heard that.
"You're so low-key now; how could you still offend someone?"
Pepper heard 'a madman' and asked with some confusion.
"Jarvis, you explain to Pepper."
Tony thought for a moment and instructed directly.
"Yes, sir."
"Miss Pepper, the madman who attacked Mr. Tony is Ivan Vanko, whose father was once an enemy of Mr. Tony's father..."
Jarvis knew that Mr. Tony didn't want Miss Pepper to mistakenly believe that Mr. Tony was someone who indiscriminately killed innocent people.
So Jarvis directly released a pile of information and data, as well as video footage of Ivan Vanko's initial attack, explaining the whole story in detail.
"Oh, I see. Then hurry and clean your Armor; I don't really like the smell of blood."
Pepper understood after hearing it and said.
"I don't really like the smell of blood either, so I've already had Jarvis Two clean it."
Tony had already taken off his Iron Man Armor and was wearing loungewear as he came up from the underground laboratory, saying.
After joining the Void God Cult, his five senses became more acute, so even a very faint smell of blood, he could detect.
Not to mention the smell of blood directly attached to him; that smell was even stronger.
Tony's cleanliness wasn't extremely severe, but he did have some; naturally, he couldn't stand the blood on his Armor.
Just as Tony was chatting with Pepper.
"Mr. Tony, S.H.I.E.L.D. has a situation."
"They suspect they've found Captain America."
Jarvis suddenly said.
Any messages transmitted within S.H.I.E.L.D., whether through monitoring or mobile phones, were always under Jarvis's surveillance.
The information about finding Captain America transmitted within S.H.I.E.L.D., although not many people transmitted it, the secrecy level was not high, so Jarvis easily intercepted it.
"Captain America?"
"Isn't that guy's statue in the museum?"
Tony paused when he heard the name Captain America and said.
"To be precise, S.H.I.E.L.D. found Captain America frozen in ice and is currently transporting him back to New York."
"Normally, a common person frozen in ice would certainly die, but Captain America is a Super Human who was injected with the Super Serum, and he did not die."
Jarvis said when he heard this.
"You mean that old guy who supposedly died decades ago is still alive?"
Tony said thoughtfully when he heard Jarvis's words.
"Yes."
Jarvis gave an affirmative answer when he heard that.
"That kind of old thing isn't dead yet; it's truly a big World with all sorts of wonders."
Tony was also somewhat surprised to hear that an old guy from his father's era didn't die but survived through being frozen in ice until modern times.
