Kunai continuously shot out from Andy's hand, making rustling sounds in the air.
Suddenly, all sounds ceased, and the surroundings became silent.
Andy, who was enjoying the throwing, felt both sides of his ammo pouches and, finding no more kunai, gave up throwing.
He turned his head to see Stark standing beside him, smiling in a very peculiar way.
"Andy, throwing knives are long outdated. Look, you've been throwing for so long, yet you can't even cause a scratch on the target."
Saying this, Stark raised his hand cannon and fired a shot at the target.
The metal target, subjected to the pulse attack, instantly became corroded and pitted.
"This is the kind of weapon we should be mastering, not throwing knives used hundreds of years ago."
Watching Stark's show-off, Andy walked towards the metal target.
Turning to Stark, he said, "Of course, I know what weapons to use. Don't forget, I helped you amplify and strengthen your hand cannon."
As he spoke, Andy picked up all the scattered kunai from the ground and put them back into his ammo pouches.
"Cold weapons are useless against modern technology, but if that weapon incorporates modern technology, then the situation is different."
With his finger spinning in the ring of the last kunai, Andy looked up and smiled at Stark.
"These kunai are just my trial equipment. I haven't even made the truly powerful throwing weapons yet.
Besides, even the kunai in my hand, its sharp double-edged blade is enough to cut through some thinner iron sheets."
Looking at the bewildered Stark, Andy smiled and threw the kunai in his hand at another metal target.
The kunai accurately hit the target, embedding itself and piercing through it.
Seeing the kunai's performance, Stark was a bit surprised.
"Oh, that's quite powerful. That one hit is almost as powerful as a pistol."
Although that target was much thinner than the one Andy had attacked before, it wasn't something any weapon could easily penetrate.
While Andy's own explosive power was a major factor, the sharp double-edged blade of the kunai and its design were also key elements.
"Of course, while the kunai's power is relatively low, it's not that bad."
Responding to Stark, Andy pulled the kunai from the target. The fact that it could be retrieved was also a good advantage.
"It looks like you're very satisfied with the hand cannon integrated with the crystal."
While retrieving the kunai, Andy examined the target attacked by Stark.
It was severely corroded, with the most damaged areas constantly shedding rusty debris.
And given Stark's personality, if he wasn't satisfied with it, he would never have shown it to Andy.
"Of course, the pulse ray can now cause five times the original destructive power without increasing energy consumption. I'm very satisfied with its current state."
Stark was indeed very satisfied with the hand cannon's performance, but he also had reservations about it.
Stark's tone suddenly shifted as he said, "It won't explode like the rhino, will it?"
The explosion that occurred in New Mexico still haunted him.
rhino, which possessed such strong defensive capabilities, was directly blown to scrap by the rhino.
This forced him to consider the safety of the hand cannon integrated with the crystal.
Even a powerful combat weapon like the Destroyer was blown to pieces by the rhino.
Stark didn't believe his Iron Man Suit could allow him to survive an explosion of that magnitude.
Knowing Stark's current concerns, Andy laughed.
"Don't worry, as long as there's an energy conversion device, you don't have to worry about the hand cannon exploding."
As long as the Amplification Crystal's energy remained stable, the equipment could be used without any worries.
Andy had used the Amplification Crystal for so long, and only the rhino had exploded.
And that was caused by Johnny's continuous use of the rhino. Under normal circumstances, as long as the energy supply is maintained, the equipment is unlikely to explode.
Under Andy's explanation, the doubts in Stark's mind completely dissipated.
He had seen Andy's battles many times, and the equipment in Andy's hands had always been intact.
Only the rhino had exploded, and that was because the guy named Johnny used the rhino recklessly, leading to the explosion.
Thinking this, Stark no longer worried about safety issues.
The Iron Man Suit could only be used by him unless he authorized it.
This was especially true for this portable Iron Man Suit; only Stark himself could unlock and use it.
The two chatted and laughed as they returned to the lab, and just as Andy was taking a glass and sitting on the sofa.
A sound came from the balcony again. The two looked towards the balcony and found that the person who came was Norman Osborn.
Norman dismounted from the glider, and his green bio-suit gradually receded back into Norman's body.
"It seems I've arrived just in time."
With a smile on his face, Norman said earnestly.
However, Andy and Stark looked at him with peculiar expressions.
Stark, in particular, said with a look of disgust, "Putting that wriggling bio-suit back into your body, don't you find it disgusting?"
He had personally watched Norman's body emerge little by little from the Green Goblin.
That method of retraction, like the movement of maggots, made Stark's stomach churn.
Norman merely raised an eyebrow at Stark's disgust and didn't care.
Instead, he picked up a glass and poured himself a drink.
"This is key to Osborn's survival, but I will improve its appearance."
Norman smiled, swirling his glass. He felt that the issue Stark raised was acceptable.
Wearing a wriggling bio-suit made him look like a pervert, not a good person.
After taking a sip of the whiskey in his glass, Norman's expression became serious.
"Recently, the Life Foundation has been acting strangely. They're recruiting people for human experiments at high prices, and none of those people have ever come out of the Life Foundation."
His words caught Andy and Stark's attention. It's normal for a biotech company to recruit people willing to undergo physical experiments.
However, those are usually human experiments conducted only after biological experiments have been done and the drug's efficacy confirmed.
The number of people recruited would not be many, as it's only to confirm if there are any abnormalities.
But the Life Foundation's current behavior was very abnormal. They were recruiting people for human experiments, but not a single person had left the Life Foundation.
That could only mean one thing: the Life Foundation was conducting live experiments on humans.
And Norman clearly knew something. He tapped his watch a few times, and a video was played.
"Audis, convert to virtual image."
At Andy's command, the footage stored in Norman's watch was converted into a virtual image and played before the three of them.
"That's the rescue footage of the Life One spaceship crash, and this…"
Norman clicked on one of the abnormally behaving women, and the woman's image was magnified.
This woman was like a walking corpse, expressionless and with dull eyes.
"This woman's behavior is as if she was forcibly parasitized by a Symbiote."
Then Norman tapped his watch again, and the screen changed to an image, which was the woman's corpse.
"Her fate also confirmed my suspicion: Life One brought back a Symbiote.
Based on the Life Foundation's actions, perhaps there is more than one Symbiote appearing on Earth this time, and the Life Foundation's people are feeding humans to the Symbiote."
This made Andy and Stark a little nervous; they had just finished discussing precautions against aliens.
