Tony deliberately shook the documents in his hand and said, "Quick, open the portal. We're leaving."
"Don't rush," Chen Chen said softly, glancing at the external sensors above the street buildings. "Looks like we've still got some flies buzzing around us. Come out, you're all with that woman, right? Why did you only let her in earlier?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four or five dark figures leaped down from the surrounding buildings.
Under the moonlight, their faces slowly became visible.
Four men and one woman, all dressed in dark casual clothes. Their muscular necks and arms were faintly visible, and their upright posture and bearing betrayed their military training.
The man at the front had a golden buzz cut and an arrogant face, chewing gum with a swagger.
This was Savan, Killian's right-hand man!
"You two really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin," Savan said, chewing his gum as he looked at Tony and Chen Chen. "We thought Jenny could handle you two alone. Didn't expect you to have some skills."
"Especially you, Stark. You didn't die in the villa explosion, and you still haven't learned your lesson? Come back here to die again? You're just like that little security guard of yours."
When Savan mentioned Happy, Tony immediately reacted. "What did you say?! You did this to Happy?!"
Pfft. Savan chuckled at Tony's question, then smirked contemptuously. "If you want to put it that way, sure. But honestly, I wouldn't bother messing with that piece of trash unless I had to."
Hearing Savan's mocking tone, blue light erupted from the thrusters beneath Tony's feet. Just as he was about to launch himself skyward, Chen Chen placed a hand on his shoulder pauldron and restrained him.
"Leave them to me. You're too enraged to fight effectively right now."
On one hand, Tony's anger could easily lead him to lose control in combat. Facing five Extremis enhanced humans was already a formidable challenge for him; without his composure, the situation would only worsen.
In battle, anything can happen. Chen Chen might not be able to keep Tony safe, and on the other hand, Tony's armor is loaded with heavy weapons. If he were to unleash them on this street, still crowded with civilians, the risk of collateral damage would be immense.
"Then I'll focus on evacuating and protecting the civilians."
Hearing Chen Chen's words, Tony snapped back to his senses. Although he didn't yet know about the Extremis Virus, the woman who had self-immolated in the bar earlier was clearly no ordinary opponent. Now five more had appeared. If he had rushed in earlier, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"Let Chen Chen handle it. He should be able to manage them alone." Tony, now prioritizing the mission over his pride, immediately took to the air to evacuate civilians from the combat zone.
The five Extremis-enhanced humans facing Chen Chen seemed to take his actions as an insult and an affront.
Each of them was a seasoned warrior, tempered by countless trials. The Extremis Virus had exponentially amplified their combat capabilities. And yet, this opponent—who looked like a high school or college student—dared to challenge all five of them at once?
"Hey, buddy, I'm warning you—don't underestimate us," Savan snarled, his temples bulging and veins already showing on his face as he gritted his teeth at Chen Chen. "Get out of the way now. If you don't interfere with our fight against Tony Stark, you might just survive."
But Chen Chen remained silent, instead placing his hands behind his back.
The insult escalated further.
The five Extremis-enhanced humans, as warriors, couldn't tolerate such blatant disrespect. Golden-red flames erupted from their bodies as they charged toward Chen Chen. Just as they were about to strike, they abruptly halted, then coordinated a series of deceptive maneuvers.
Their movements were fluid, swift, and utterly beyond human capability.
After a moment of feigned attacks, three of them had somehow maneuvered behind Chen Chen. Their fists, wreathed in air-distorting heat, simultaneously targeted his back of the head, spine, and lower abdomen.
With a resounding thud, all three blows landed squarely on Chen Chen's body.
Meanwhile, Savan and his companion watched as Chen Chen remained motionless, having been struck. A mocking smile curled at the corner of Savan's lips. "It's only natural for those who underestimate the power gap to die. Remember this lesson in your next life."
But Savan couldn't see the three accomplices hidden behind Chen Chen, nor the shock on their faces, nor the way their arms, which had attacked Chen Chen, had twisted into completely unnatural shapes.
The Chen Chen who had been sitting like an old monk in meditation slowly turned his head to face the three Extremis enhanced humans behind him.
"That's right," Chen Chen said, his eyes as deep as an abyss, as if they could pull one's soul into their depths. "You should definitely remember this lesson in your next life." As he raised his right hand, a fierce, deep blue light completely enveloped his fist.
Boom!
When he threw his punch, the deep blue light seemed to have become a tangible entity.
Without a struggle, without a cry, without even a body, after the dazzling deep blue light faded, the three figures were completely gone. They vanished into thin air like a magic trick, as if they had never existed at all.
Savan and his companion stared, dumbfounded, at the scene before them.
"What? No more tricks?" Chen Chen's cold gaze swept over them as he advanced with steps that seemed to herald the arrival of death. "Since you have no more tricks, let me show you mine."
His flat, emotionless words, in such a situation, carried an suffocating weight, fueling despair.
As Chen Chen drew closer, John, the Extremis enhanced human beside Savan, seemed unable to bear the terror and hopelessness.
"Impossible! He can't be that strong! Not even a corpse left? This must be some kind of trick!"
"Ah! Don't think you can scare me!" John roared, lunging at Chen Chen with a wild, frenzied punch.
The instant his fist struck, a sharp crack echoed through the air. His attack had been stopped.
John froze, staring blankly ahead at the hand that had caught his punch...
Chen Chen's fingers.
