Chapter 97: F1 Race! Red Room!
On a private jet high in the sky, Tony, Pepper, Jiang Bai, and Wanda were seated around a table playing a card game, while Lorna and others watched from nearby. They were en route to Monaco, and because it was so boring, Jiang Bai took out a deck of cards to play with everyone.
Tony was the one who lost the most, and even Jiang Bai lost a few rounds, which was a result of him going easy. Otherwise, his psychic abilities would have made him invincible! Time passed, and soon everyone landed at the Monaco airport.
Happy drove the Rolls-Royce with Tony and Pepper, while Martin drove a Bentley with Jiang Bai and the others. Since there were quite a few people, White Queen also drove a car. Red Tank sat in the back because he was too big to drive!
Upon entering the race venue, the arrival of Jiang Bai and Tony attracted a lot of attention, but no one could get within two meters of Jiang Bai. Then, everyone walked towards the VIP room. At this moment, Tony winked at Jiang Bai, signaling him to step out.
"What?"
"F1 race, interested in a round?"
"I haven't driven one of those; I wouldn't know how. I'm afraid you're the one who wants to go."
"This is where you're not as good as me, right? I'm going! You help me deal with Pepper; she doesn't know I'm going yet."
After the two walked out of the VIP room, Tony excitedly invited Jiang Bai to race. However, Jiang Bai shook his head. He couldn't drive an F1 car. This type of car operates differently from regular cars and sports cars. When an F1 car gets going, the driver's body has to endure immense pressure.
Although this pressure was nothing to Jiang Bai, he had no interest in driving an F1 car. It would be meaningless to make a fool of himself up there. Tony pouted and walked to the other side. He had come here prepared to participate in the race, only tricking Pepper into coming to watch.
The FIA Formula 1 World Championship, or F1, is the highest-level annual series of circuit car races organized by the International Automobile Federation (FIA). It is currently the highest-level racing competition in the World, and along with the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup, it is known as one of the "World's Three Major Sports Events."
The FIA Formula 1 World Championship is currently the highest-level racing competition in the World, with an annual viewership of up to 60 billion people. F1 racing can be said to be a collection of high technology, team spirit, and the wisdom and courage of the drivers.
F1 is the pinnacle of racing, with year-round planning, race organization at each stop, team operations, TV broadcasting, and all other aspects meticulously arranged. The F1 World has been thoroughly perfected. But like anything else, F1 has its origins, its development process, and quite a few twists and turns on its path forward.
The number of spectators at the venue was simply immense; even though it hadn't started yet, the entire grandstand was already packed with an audience! Coupled with the arrival of Tony and Jiang Bai this time, the surrounding audience was full of anticipation, but at this point, the official organizers had not yet released all the participant names.
F1 drivers are among the strongest athletes because the driving style of an F1 car and the immense centrifugal force the driver must endure are vastly different from driving a regular vehicle. They not only need superior physical condition but also a calm and cool analytical mind.
Jiang Bai was a bit worried if Tony could complete the entire race. In the past, he used to sleep with women every day, and his body was simply too weak. F1 drivers have extremely high demands on their physical fitness. However, thinking about the Whiplash that would appear midway, Tony wouldn't have the chance to complete the entire race.
"Jiang Bai Gege (older brother), aren't you going to race?"
"I don't know how, little cutie! We'll just watch, and then we can go play somewhere else after!"
"Okay~"
At this moment, Lorna asked, looking at Jiang Bai with her beautiful big eyes. Jiang Bai pinched Lorna's small nose and said dotingly! Then the race was about to begin, and the cars and drivers started to enter the track!
"Next up, I believe everyone knows him, that's right! He is our Iron Man! Tony Stark!!!"
"Wow——————!"
"Whoo——————!"
"Iron Man! Iron Man!! Iron Man!!!"
At this moment, the event host introduced him to all the spectators in the venue. When he mentioned Iron Man, all the surrounding screens showed footage of Tony entering the track, then sitting into a red Formula race car.
Tony's appearance immediately ignited the scene, and countless spectators began to shout together, showing how great Tony's influence was! Pepper in the VIP room instantly changed her expression the moment she saw Tony. She didn't expect Tony to participate in the F1 race behind her back!
But now that Tony had already entered, she couldn't stop him, so she could only sit on the sofa, secretly fuming. Seeing this, Wanda and Lorna sat beside Pepper and started chatting with her, while Tom and Jerry, unconcerned, ate the fruits prepared in the VIP room.
"Boss, I sense quite a few people at the venue who wish you harm."
"Oh? Which organization are they from?"
"An organization called the Red Room!"
"Okay, I understand. You don't need to worry about it for now."
At this moment, Emma leaned into Jiang Bai's ear and told him, relaying what she had sensed! However, upon hearing it was the Red Room, he showed a strange expression. The Red Room, a place that trains spies, was also a remnant left behind by the former Soviet Union.
The spies trained were all women. Black Widow Natasha Romanoff was one who defected from there and later joined S.H.I.E.L.D. through Hawkeye Barton! They actually wanted to make a move against him? He truly didn't know if the Red Room was overconfident, or if he couldn't lift his sword anymore.
Anyone with decent intelligence should know about his affairs on Skull Island and in the manor. In such a situation, the Red Room still wanted to make a move against him, without even considering their own strength!
The Red Room was a secret organization affiliated with the former Soviet Union, specifically training female Agents, also known as "Black Widows." This organization collected many war orphans, teaching them etiquette, culture, dance, and other skills from a young age, while also teaching them assassination techniques such as firearm usage and close-quarters combat required by spies. The Red Room's training was extremely harsh, aiming to completely domesticate the female Agents into killing machines. The Red Room was where the Black Widows grew up; they underwent brutal training and ultimately became sexy killing tools.
The Red Room also had some things that could extend life and improve physical fitness, but only each generation of Black Widows could inject them, and even with the injection, they could not reach the level of Captain America.
