...
Returning to Bin Hai Villa in an instant, Leon handed the unconscious Tony to Xiao Daidai for care, then impatiently rushed into Leon's Wonderful House, located on the floor below.
The moment he entered.
A Jet Glider, bright silver all over with black and purple markings, was silently parked in the center of the room, and on the driver's seat lay a black Soldier Boy uniform, which had been extensively remade with Vibranium-woven material.
Bang!
He casually slammed shut the explosion-proof alloy door.
Leon quickly stripped down to only a pair of super elastic fiber underwear and, in a flash, stood beside Arcee.
He first tried on the Vibranium uniform.
If Leon hadn't asked the system if he could put himself into the system space, and given that Adamantium's properties weren't suitable for uniforms, only for armor, he would have done so.
Leon would have definitely gotten himself a set of active Adamantium uniform.
Otherwise, any uniform he wore would be useless, not even as hard as his own body.
Despite the protection of Biological Stance, people are just like that; they are never satisfied.
Strictly speaking.
The nature of Adamantium is simply its hardness, which actually makes it more suitable for crafting sharp melee weapons, like Wolverine's claws.
All things considered.
Vibranium, with its equally outstanding hardness and energy-absorbing properties, is more suitable for external defense and is excellent for weaving into uniforms.
As for Vibranium's drawback of becoming dull under specific frequency sound waves, the omnipotent 'Biological Stance' declared: What drawback? Arranged!
Leon simply wanted a uniform that he could put on and take off instantly; he could, of course, also mimic Mystique by using the cell control ability of 'Super Self-Regeneration' to transform into an outfit.
But Leon felt that was practically no different from being naked.
Unless there was absolutely no other way, he generally wouldn't do that.
He put it on, then took it off.
Leon stored the Vibranium uniform in the system space, then, wearing only his shorts, sat in the driver's seat of the Jet Glider; as mentioned before, that was Arcee's waist.
As Leon's fingertips continuously glided and tapped across Arcee's body like playing a piano, the atmosphere in the room began to heat up, and Arcee's engine emitted restless, roaring sounds.
"Leon~"
"Arcee, Skids Mode."
After he had sufficiently admired his new vehicle, Leon decided to get down to business and immediately issued a command.
Accompanied by a series of clanking and rattling transformation sounds, Arcee transformed into the familiar Skids Mode that Leon knew; the parts of her body that should be soft also became soft, but this was not yet the end.
Then.
Vibranium nanomolecules precipitated from within Skids Mode Arcy's body and completely covered her surface, forming a bio-Vibranium skin indistinguishable from a Zhenren (Immortal).
Every strand of hair was lifelike, and every expression was naturally perfect.
This was Tifa's appearance, which Arcee frequently mimicked.
Only this time, it wasn't a phantom holographic projection.
Instead, it was a tangible, truly lifelike Zhenren (Immortal).
Embodying the appearance configuration of Skids Mode Arcy, Arcee Tifa was currently in the "Emperor's New Clothes" state, leaving Leon staring blankly.
"Why did you turn into this again?"
"I thought the way you were just now was quite good."
Leon wiped his non-existent nosebleed.
"Then... should I change back?"
Arcee Tifa, held in a princess carry by Leon, blinked her nimble scarlet eyes, looking up at Leon with a half-smile.
"No need for that."
"Since you've already changed."
"Let's go with this for now."
Leon followed his heart.
Anyway, there's still a long time ahead, and he can try every trick in the book; Leon isn't in a hurry at this moment.
That's just his habit.
The more exquisite the delicacy, the more he likes to save it for last to savor slowly.
Afterwards.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may; strike while the iron is hot.
...
On the other side.
While Leon was immersed in his workout.
Tony, who had slowly awakened, was sensible enough not to disturb him; after failing to magnetically control the Mark Six, he immediately coated it with a layer of Vibranium protective film.
This way.
It facilitated his unpowered flight and maneuvers like aerial double acceleration.
After being augmented with Vibranium's energy-absorbing properties.
The Mark Six's already heaven-defying defensive performance was elevated to another level, and under Tony's magnetic control, this Vibranium protective film was completely immune to sonic dulling or damage from excessive impact.
Because even if it were shattered, Tony just needed to smooth it out and patch it back up.
One could only say.
Under Leon's influence, Tony never seemed to suffer from a fear of insufficient firepower, but a fear of insufficient defense had begun to emerge.
No choice.
If he encountered a ruthless character like Leon, who could defeat a master with wild punches, Tony felt that his super intelligence would very likely be useless before he was slapped to death.
Just as Tony was admiring the Mark Six, which he and Leon had jointly created, Jarvis suddenly reminded him, "Sir, Miss Pepper sent a message saying she needs you to go to Stark Industries."
"OK."
Tony nodded and said, "Jarvis, help me get the car out."
"Wait!"
After glancing at the Mark VI beside him, Tony immediately changed his mind: "I'll just wear the Mark and go directly; it's faster and safer."
After getting a new toy, he couldn't help but show it off everywhere.
Tony was so excited that he wished he could wear the Mark Six even to the bathroom.
If Leon hadn't flatly refused Tony's request to install a urine filtration system, Tony would have definitely shown Pepper a pee-pee show inside the Mark.
...
Hammer Industries, diagonally across the street from Stark Tower.
Justin Hammer, who was constantly monitoring his competitor, happened to spot Tony landing on the roof of Stark Tower through his binoculars, and his mouth twitched:
"Shit!"
"He changed to a new Mark again!"
The person who knows you best is always your opponent; Justin Hammer immediately recognized the Mark Six, which was different from the Mark Four and Mark Five Tony had been using recently.
"He never changed women as frequently as this before, did he?"
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Justin Hammer complained to his black male secretary standing nearby.
"Mr. Hammer, with all due respect, this is merely your illusion due to your excessive focus on Tony Stark's Iron Mark."
"Tony Stark's highest record for changing women was one every two hours, which lasted for a whole week."
"Whereas his current Mark update speed averages one every two and a half months, which is less than a fraction of his speed in changing women."
The male secretary patiently explained.
"Is that what I want to hear?"
"Does contradicting me make you happy?!"
Justin Hammer, enraged, furiously threw the binoculars in his hand at his male secretary.
Bang—
Even though it had clearly smashed his head, causing him to bleed, he seemed to feel nothing, maintaining a professional smile on his face.
"Figure out a way to deal with him!"
"I can understand not being able to handle Leon Stark, who has the body of a Superman; but if you can't even handle Tony Stark, a mere mortal of flesh and blood, then you should commit suicide!"
"Failure!"
Justin Hammer roared in extreme anger.
"Boss, although Tony Stark doesn't have a body of steel, he has an Iron Mark."
The male secretary added.
"Is your brain full of muscles?"
"Can't you deal with him when he's not wearing the Iron Mark?"
"I'm truly fed up!"
"You useless bunch of things!"
Justin Hammer was truly anxious.
The decision by Stark Industries to shut down its weapons division should have allowed Hammer Industries, also an arms supplier, to seize the opportunity to grow stronger and achieve new glory.
The fact that Stark Industries shifted its pillar industry from arms dealing midway to what it called clean energy, hoping to revive itself, was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Two happy events converged.
Justin Hammer should have been experiencing a dreamlike period of joy.
But...
Hammer Industries neither grew stronger.
Nor did Stark Industries collapse; instead, it experienced a second spring with the new energy industry, and its total transaction volume in the second quarter already surpassed Hammer Industries.
Watching Tony Stark's smug face after earning even more money than before, Justin Hammer felt even worse than if he had lost money himself!
Why?
He's both a superhero and a billionaire, with an incredibly powerful younger brother as a backup; how did all the good things in this world happen to Tony Stark?
Justin Hammer did not understand!
