Big news!"
Roshan immediately began her report: "As everyone can see, Iron Man has been captured by Magneto. Magneto doesn't seem to intend to kill him, only to display him hanging on the Round Tower…"
Tony, who had been on countless news reports, immediately noticed a camera pointed at him and shouted towards it, "Don't film me, or I'll buy your TV station and fire all of you in the future!"
Unfortunately, because it was too noisy around, no one could hear what Tony was shouting. The audience in front of their screens only saw Tony yelling, seemingly for help.
The citizens' hearts sank. Even Iron Man had been captured. What were they going to do? That was Iron Man!
"Haha, that kid finally got what's coming to him. Serves him right."
The one who said this was none other than Tony's father, Howard. Seeing Tony's embarrassing predicament, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You are definitely Iron Man's biological father," Andrew quipped. He then asked, "Aren't you afraid Magneto will kill your son? By the way, Tony is so unlucky, could it be because of Dr. Reed?"
Howard said, "No, I'm not afraid. If Magneto really wanted to kill Tony, he would have done it already. Magneto is a Mutant supremacist. He most likely wants to humiliate Tony to belittle ordinary people."
Standing in front of the French window, Andrew looked at the tall metal Round Tower and said, "Magneto certainly won't kill Iron Man, but he will kill Iron Man."
Howard was startled and hastily asked, "What do you mean?"
"Magneto's device can transform ordinary people into Mutant, but the problem is, that device is imperfect. The transformed person will die from genetic collapse within a short period of time."
Andrew said, "He hung Iron Man there, on one hand, to humiliate ordinary people, and on the other hand, he wants to turn Iron Man into a Mutant."
Upon hearing this, Howard couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, does he have any scientific common sense? He doesn't even do the most basic experiments? Which university gave him his diploma?"
"That's what you're worried about?"
Andrew quipped. Howard was genuinely a little anxious now. He said, "Boss, I'm going to save Tony."
"In front of Magneto, your Armor is no different from a toy."
Andrew said, "Don't worry, Tony won't die. If he really dies…"
Howard's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You'll revive him?"
Andrew said, "No, I will immediately put him into Rebirth Hell, so you father and son can be reunited. You don't need to thank me, this is the reward you deserve."
Howard's face darkened slightly. I thank your whole family, he thought. He said, "Boss, the Stark Family has no successor. That kid can't die yet."
Andrew said, "I told you, don't worry."
Howard finally understood. He said excitedly, "That's good, Boss. I'll go make preparations. The airborne fortress has been refitted."
Andrew waved his hand, sending Howard back to hell. Then, he took out his phone and sent an anonymous voice message to Roshan.
Roshan was in the middle of reporting when her Bluetooth earphone suddenly played a voice message. After listening, her face lit up with joy, and she turned her head to shout, "Peter, point the camera at me…"
Roshan's words abruptly stopped. The reason was simple: Peter Parker had slipped away at some point, leaving the camera alone on the car roof.
"That kid actually ran off? Handsome guys really can't be relied on. Fine, I'll do it myself."
Roshan gritted her teeth, walked over to adjust the camera's position, and began her report.
Peter ran off? Of course not. He just transformed into Spider-Man and joined the battle. He kicked a petrified-skin Mutant away and shouted loudly, "Hey, kidnapping is a felony!"
"Damn bug, get lost!"
The petrified Mutant roared and fought fiercely with Spider-Man. At this moment, Agent Coulson arrived with the Agents. They wasted no words, immediately raised their freeze guns and shot at the Mutant. Several Mutant fell down on the spot.
"Fall back."
Seeing this, Toad led the Mutant to retreat. Wolverine, with bloodshot eyes, immediately chased after them. With a powerful swing of his claws, a Mutant was directly severed into four pieces.
Magneto, on the Round Tower, saw this and raised his hand. Wolverine uncontrollably flew up to the tall tower and was firmly entangled by iron bars, hanging there.
Tony greeted Wolverine, "You're here too. The view is nice up here."
Wolverine ignored Tony and struggled fiercely. Unfortunately, with his arms bound, he couldn't break free from the iron bars.
Without Wolverine's interference, the Mutant successfully retreated into the fortress. Then, relying on the fortress, they used their superpowers and firearms to attack the X-Men and Agents outside. Everyone hastily sought cover behind obstacles.
"Trouble," Coulson cursed under his breath. They had brought freeze guns, and their firepower simply couldn't compare to the enemy's. Of course, even if they had heavy weapons, they wouldn't dare to use them, as Magneto was on the Round Tower.
In front of Magneto, modern weapons were a joke.
Magneto was not in a hurry to activate the device; he was waiting for an enemy to appear. Just then, Mystique, wearing an Iron Man Suit, suddenly aimed her hand at Magneto.
Following that, a voice came from Mystique's mouth: "Erik, don't make another mistake."
Magneto controlled the Iron Man Suit with magnetism and said, "Charles, I expected you to come. Why don't you search Raven's memories from the past few days?"
Professor Charles was startled. He quickly checked Mystique's recent memories, and then he became furious: "Erik, you actually kidnapped my students?"
Magneto said, "No kidnapping, just invited them out to play. Charles, from now on, you are not allowed to use your psychic abilities to control anyone from the Brotherhood. Afterwards, I will return them to you."
Professor Charles said, "Erik, you've changed. The old you would never have done something like this."
Magneto snorted coldly, "The old me still had fantasies about humans, about you, but now, they're gone. Charles, only one can live, humans or Mutant. Leave."
Professor Charles had always been soft-hearted, and his students were his weakness. He sighed and left Mystique's consciousness.
Mystique returned to normal. She lowered her hand and sneered, "Charles's soft-heartedness is a flaw he'll never get rid of in this lifetime."
"Therefore, he is not suitable to lead the Mutant."
Magneto looked down, gritting his teeth, and said, "That kid should be here soon. This time, I'm going to make him pay."
Mystique shook her head, "He might not make a move. Even if he does, he won't get past me and Red Devil."
Magneto said, "Don't underestimate him."
At this moment, Storm, Beast Hank, Colossus, and other X-Men rushed over from a distance to join the battle—their jet stopped far away, as Magneto was there.
Storm had already learned from Professor Charles about the boy being kidnapped. She was furious, her eyes turned white, and she flew into the sky enveloped in a whirlwind. Then, she controlled lightning, preparing to strike the Round Tower.
Seeing this, Mystique immediately activated the Mark Armor and flew towards Storm. Midway, she controlled the Armor to launch six miniature missiles at Storm.
"Iron Man?"
Storm was startled and quickly used lightning to detonate the missiles. Mystique sneered, rushed in front of Storm, raised her hand, and blasted her to the ground with a pulse cannon.
