Tony watched helplessly as Qin Xiao smashed the tank into thin sheets of metal. He had no interest in what was inside. It was Qin Xiao's sheer performance that mattered today.
"Qin, does your suit have an automatic dry-cleaning function? My god, you better clean yourself up on the plane first. You look like you just got thrown into King Kong's backside."
Tony didn't ask directly; he made a roundabout joke instead.
"Mysterious things always come from the East."
Qin Xiao planned to keep the suit issue under wraps. After all, over time it would become obvious anyway. Right in front of Tony, he transformed his jeans and T-shirt into a fitted casual suit.
"Besides!"
Qin Xiao pointed at himself.
"This is a man's battle. Better than hiding inside a metal condom!"
He patted Tony on the shoulder lightly.
"That skirt of yours is like a color-changing condom!"
Tony exhaled in relief—Qin Xiao could still joke. He muttered to himself under his breath. Then, suddenly, he jumped up like he'd been set on fire.
"Oh, damn it! Why did you pat my shoulder? Who knows what's in your hands! J.A.R.V.I.S.! Remind me to fully sanitize the armor!"
"Yes, sir!"
The bald leaders of the Ten Rings were once again wiped out by Tony Stark and Qin Xiao at the nearby base.
All munitions personnel were eliminated.
In a desert camp, a bald man heard the news and nearly exploded with rage.
It was all Obadiah's fault. Heaven only knew how much trouble Tony Stark had caused him.
Even in his combat armor, Tony recognized the arc reactor on his chest from a video sent by his subordinates.
"Damn it!"
The bald man slammed the desk in front of him. Later, after communicating with Obadiah, he realized the true value of the arc reactor.
Guarding the gold mine while allowing others to develop missiles was a classic example of ignorance.
He angrily smashed items on the desk to vent his frustration.
Pointing to a heavy chest plate stacked in the corner, he said to his subordinates:
"Take a picture of that pile Tony Stark left, and send it along with this video to Obadiah. He knows the value of these things, so make him send us more weapons. This loss is on him."
The chest plate in the corner was the unfinished Mark I suit. When Qin Xiao came to rescue him, there was only time to grab the design schematics.
Only a small portion of the first-generation armor had been completed, with no time for testing.
Tony figured the terrorists wouldn't be able to decipher any clues. Their operation wasn't entirely successful, and the blueprints were gone.
He never imagined, however, that these designs would fall into Obadiah's hands.
The Middle East was a complex tangle of factions, and even S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence capabilities were greatly diminished here.
Under normal circumstances, what Tony and Qin Xiao did would sooner or later be discovered by Nick Fury.
But S.H.I.E.L.D. had already dispatched agents to monitor Obadiah closely.
So when Obadiah received the video from the Ten Rings, Nick Fury had already seen it too.
"This is…"
He recognized Qin Xiao, but the other one… was that a robot?
Nick Fury was shocked by the combat skills of Tony's armor and Qin Xiao.
But he quickly reacted.
The arc reactor on the chest was unmistakable.
"This is Tony Stark! Should I say he's a genius in weapons development? This allows a small arc reactor to achieve maximum wartime value! Brilliant!"
Nick Fury instinctively wanted to call Coulson to contact Tony Stark.
But after a moment of thought, he immediately called Qin Xiao instead.
"Oh, my dear director, my boss, you finally remembered I'm an intern agent!"
At this moment, Qin Xiao was still flying back with Tony on the plane.
Nick Fury ignored Qin Xiao's particularly chaotic intern experience. His tone was sharper and more cunning.
"I nearly forgot. I should assign you an Agent Level Eight position. After all, you're directly taking on terrorists in the Middle East. Oh, and you also destroyed a tank. You're exceptional. You should join the strike team."
"Now, do you want to report back to your boss about the Middle East situation? And that iron-blooded warrior next to you? I assume that's your friend Tony Stark, right?"
The last question was key.
Qin Xiao chuckled lightly.
"Boss, are you dreaming? About the Middle East? Or about Iron Man? Or maybe a new movie?"
He spoke with his usual casual tone.
"Damn it! Stop pretending. You are my agent. That huge sum of dollars added to your bank account every month is because of my signature. Do you understand?"
Nick Fury crushed the pen in his hand in anger.
"Of course I know I'm your agent, an intern agent, and my work permit can't even get me into a branch office!"
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes, ignoring Fury's fury.
"Wow!"
No sooner had Qin Xiao spoken than Tony flicked his forehead with a finger.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Xiao silently mouthed the words.
Tony looked at him as if he were a fool, then made a swiping-card gesture toward the instrument panel.
Qin Xiao immediately understood—this wasn't the time to discuss it. The plane hadn't been stolen yet.
"What are you doing?"
Hearing Qin Xiao suddenly burst into mock crying, Nick Fury asked:
"I'm out at sea with Tony. You know, there are many young, beautiful girls on board. Just now, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty kissed me. Damn it, is it my fault for being handsome? Boss, in this situation, if I fire directly, would it count as self-defense?"
"Qin!"
Tony clearly heard Fury's angry roar from the side.
"Stop making things up. You come to Washington immediately. And that work permit you mentioned… damn it, I know now why a Quinjet was stolen in the Middle East for no reason. Come to Washington, now!"
In the face of Fury's roar, Qin Xiao put his phone on speaker, glanced at his left hand, and noticed a fingernail had grown longer.
He lightly scraped the microphone with it.
"What? What did you say? Oh! Damn this signal, my god, I'm on the boss's call! Hello? Hello?"
Qin Xiao hung up the phone immediately.
Boom!
Nick Fury slammed the phone onto the desk.
