!!!!"
These rats attempting to assassinate Su Yan widened their eyes in shock upon seeing Iron Man.
Instinctively, their first reaction was to drop to the ground, roll away, and find suitable cover... Some reached into their embrace to pull out guns and fight back...
However, before they could complete this series of actions, miniature tracking missiles ruthlessly locked onto them and were instantly fired.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
A white qi that seemed to be prepared for one person hung in the air, as if an iron column had kicked out.
All the rats were hit in vital spots hearts, brows, necks at the same time. The light in their eyes instantly dimmed, their bodies went limp, their life force completely vanished, and they died on the spot.
"Scanning for life traces!"
"Confirming identity traces!"
"Scan complete, clearance complete!"
After scanning, the Iron Man suit gracefully retracted its hand, turned, and flew straight into the clouds.
The passersby below, unaware of what had just happened, were all extremely excited to see a living Iron Man, waving and shouting in the direction the suit departed.
Almost simultaneously, in different locations across Shanghai hotels, basements, abandoned buildings, etc. Iron Man suits appeared.
Their actions were also perfectly consistent: they found these foreign rats lurking in Shanghai and eliminated them one by one with a simple tracking missile.
In just a few moments.
All the rats were completely eliminated.
…
"Sir, the rats have been purged!"
Su Yan was in a billiards club, playing billiards with an old dorm mate and good friend, reliving their university days. Xiao Hei's voice came just as Su Yan potted the last 8-ball.
"Nice!"
Su Yan grinned.
Purging the rats from various countries who wanted to deal with him was something Su Yan had long wanted to do.
He just hadn't waited for the right opportunity.
Now that China had publicly declared the Iron Man suits were their creation, Su Yan immediately realized that this was his best opportunity. With official acknowledgment, it meant the government would take the blame.
Although he had purged all those lurking assassins himself, other countries would only believe that China had discovered their plot and specially dispatched Iron Men to eliminate them… This was proven by eyewitnesses on the scene.
Naturally, they would never associate it with Su Yan.
At the same time, with China's involvement, these countries would become more restrained and no longer dare to target Su Yan.
Solving the hidden danger and diverting the target killing two birds with one stone, why not?
"Old Su, your billiards skills are getting better and better!"
"I remember you used to be terrible, how did you suddenly become so strong?"
"Why even ask? Being able to play in such a high-end private billiards club, constantly interacting with experts, it's hard not to improve!"
A dorm mate chuckled teasingly.
"If you guys want, I'll get you a permanent membership too. You can come whenever you like!"
"Hey, hey, hey! You said it, we all heard you!"
The three immediately cheered, "When our CEO Su makes a move, it's truly different, so generous! Hahaha…"
A high-end private billiards club membership starts at a minimum of 500,000 per year… This money, if placed on the three of them, would be equivalent to their annual salaries.
"You guys…"
Su Yan smiled and shook his head.
Ever since his name became known, his classmates had become noticeably more respectful and distant… Even if he hadn't helped them much or lent them money, his authority and aura were present. Having become a household name, his classmates couldn't help but feel a little restrained when they saw him.
Only these three sworn brothers from his dorm could still maintain their original teasing manner.
"Come on, come on! Let's go again!"
"This round, I'm definitely going to whitewash Old Su!"
…
United States, White House.
Inside the Oval Office, ten rows of heavyweight US ministers stood stiffly.
President Hill sat in his chair, hands propped under his chin, silent. The entire office was deathly quiet; one could almost hear every person's breathing.
"All I want to know now…"
Finally, after a deadlock of three full minutes, President Hill broke the silence, "How exactly did China develop such a thing?"
President Hill swept his piercing gaze across every minister in the office, his finger trembling.
"A country so far behind us in technological advancement, one that has to pay us massive patent fees every year, whose research instruments are even our old, discarded versions!"
"But why, without any warning, have they managed to create something that even the United States' top scientists cannot accomplish?"
From his almost explosive, yet heavily suppressed tone, one could tell how furious President Hill was.
In his eyes, China was merely a developing nation, even if its overall national strength had increased significantly, even ranking among the world's forefront… compared to the United States, there was still an insurmountable distance!
He had never imagined that, after a period of economic stagnation brought to the United States by a prior incident, China would now develop an exoskeleton suit capable of human flight and extraordinary combat capabilities.
This exoskeleton suit was almost identical to Iron Man from Marvel movies, and official press conferences even showed that its combat capabilities were no different from Iron Man's.
This was something the United States had struggled for years to achieve.
China had actually overtaken them, accomplishing it years ahead.
How could he endure this?
"Moreover, China would need at least ten years to develop this thing!"
"Ten years! A full ten years! You spies, who claim to be lurking within China and capable of obtaining all confidential information, haven't even received a single piece of news!"
"Director Twalun of the Intelligence Bureau, Minister Hithri of the Weapon Development Department, and Swar, the director of the Technology Bureau whom I trust and rely on the most I need a perfect explanation from you!!!"
The ministers present looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion. They didn't know what was going on either!
China had suddenly announced they had developed Iron Man, something that only existed in movies, and they were also very shocked!
Knock, knock!
At that moment, a knock sounded on the Oval Office door.
"Come in!"
President Hill's voice was sharp.
"Mr. President, your mood doesn't seem good… but I'm afraid I still have some bad news for you."
Director Arnold of the Death Bureau walked in, expressionless, "Just now, all the members of the Death Bureau dispatched to China to assassinate Su Yan… have been eliminated!"
