Chapter 011: That's It?

For the Ancient One, who possessed the Eye of Agamotto and could peer into the future, this was not an impossible thing.

Therefore, Wang Bo decided to observe Tony Stark until he escaped.

After all, he wasn't going to die.

Yinsen saw Tony muttering to himself and seemed to understand something. "Tony, could there be someone else in this cave?"

Tony Stark nodded. "Just a bastard who knows a few tricks."

Seeing that Wang Bo was unwilling to rescue him, Tony's sharp tongue returned.

Yinsen asked, "Who is he?"

"A clown," Tony Stark added, "At least he reminds me of a clown I know."

Wang Bo didn't mind Tony Stark's sharp tongue at all. To this sarcastic guy, he showed a smile and snapped his fingers.

Instantly, Tony Stark was seized by an invisible force, hanging upside down with his head down and feet up.

Levicorpus!

This spell came from the Harry Potter world, a very simple incantation with extremely low lethality but excellent prank potential.

If hung upside down for a long time, blood rushing to the head could easily cause irreversible harm to an ordinary person.

For Tony Stark, this was a very good punishment.

As for the Ten Rings members monitoring the cave from outside, they wouldn't notice anything unusual inside, because Wang Bo had already had Friday hack into their surveillance system and feed them a fake image.

Under their watch, the Tony Stark in the footage was diligently building weapons.

And the guards at the entrance had also been controlled by Wang Bo with magic.

So now, even if the cave exploded, no one would find anything wrong.

Yinsen saw Tony Stark hanging upside down in midair. Pushing up his glasses in amazement, he walked over to Tony Stark and reached out to touch his feet.

He didn't feel anything holding his feet; it was as if Tony Stark was suspended in midair by nothing.

"This is incredible, Tony."

Tony said, "It really is incredible, but can you put me down first?"

Yinsen shook his head. "Tony, I didn't find anything holding you up, so I can't put you down."

Tony looked at Wang Bo, wondering whether to beg for mercy, but considering that he, Tony Stark, also had his pride, he decided to direct Yinsen to rescue himself.

Wang Bo pulled out a bottle of Happy Cola from his four-dimensional pocket and watched with interest as the two men fussed back and forth.

Until they had exhausted most of their energy, but Tony Stark still hadn't freed himself.

And because of the prolonged hanging, blood rushed to his head, making him feel terrible. So Tony Stark had to beg Wang Bo for mercy.

"Okay, I admit, this trick of yours is really impressive. I'm amazed. You've successfully impressed me. I'm willing to pay to buy this trick. What do you think?"

Well, that begging was very Tony Stark.

Wang Bo smiled slightly, took another sip of Happy Cola, and said, "I don't think so."

Tony Stark's face immediately darkened.

He felt he had been played.

But considering that hanging any longer would cause irreversible damage to his expensive brain, he decided to be more sincere and said, "Please put me down. I beg you."

Wang Bo snapped his fingers, and Tony Stark fell to the ground with a thud, letting out a pained groan.

That fall really hurt him.

Then, ignoring Tony Stark's complaints, Wang Bo got up and left the cave.

He strolled around the Ten Rings' territory as if no one was there, confirmed there was nothing surprising, and then left, returning to New York.

But over the next few days, Wang Bo kept observing Tony Stark.

On one hand, to ensure he didn't die; on the other, to look for the surprise the Ancient One had mentioned.

As time passed, Wang Bo's first-generation Mark I gradually matured.

Because of Wang Bo's intervention, the Ten Rings didn't sense the approaching danger.

In their eyes, Tony was diligently building weapons for them every day. Many people laughed and joked daily, thinking their good days were coming.

After all, Tony Stark's weapons were excellent.

That day, Tony Stark's Mark I was finally finished. He couldn't wait to put it on, because he had had enough of this sunless place.

He wanted to leave here, almost to the point of madness.

He felt endless hatred from the depths of his bones for the kidnappers who had taken him.

"Are you sure this thing will work?" Yinsen asked uneasily. The Mark I looked intimidating from the outside, but it was still an untested device.

And it was handmade by Tony.

"Trust me." Unlike Yinsen's anxiety, Tony Stark was more confident—not in the Mark I, but in himself.

"Once I put this on, those guys outside are just rabble. No one can beat me."

After putting it on, Tony Stark was bursting with confidence.

"Not even that guy."

Wang Bo had just arrived at the cave when he heard Tony Stark's words. He couldn't help but laugh loudly. "What arrogant words, Tony Stark."

Tony Stark was startled. Seeing Wang Bo, he couldn't hide his joy. "You came just in time."

He had always remembered the humiliation from that day, and now seeing Wang Bo, he wanted to avenge it.

So he didn't hesitate to control the Mark I and swung at Wang Bo.

"Now taste my power."

He didn't intend to kill Wang Bo, but he wanted to teach him a lesson.

Wang Bo didn't dodge or avoid, letting Tony's steel arm hit him. He was getting lazier and lazier, completely disdainful of dodging such low-level attacks.

After all, such attacks couldn't harm him in the slightest.

With a sharp clang, Wang Bo was unharmed, but the Mark I's arm was somewhat damaged.

"That's it?" Wang Bo asked calmly.

Tony Stark withdrew his arm, looked at the deformed steel arm, then at Wang Bo. "What kind of monster are you?"

How could human flesh and blood collide with a steel arm? That wasn't scientific.

Although Yinsen couldn't see Wang Bo, he saw Tony's steel arm damaged. He quickly stepped forward to persuade, "Tony, Tony, calm down. What you need to do now is leave here, right now!"

He didn't want Tony, in a fit of rage, to be beaten up by some unknown existence.
