Chapter 354: Actor, Tony: Have I become an NPC?

Tony walked into the building under the protection of a squad of clone soldiers, peeking around as he searched—

"... This is indeed much simpler than I thought... But where is the Mandarin... He didn't get scared off, did he?"

"Probably upstairs."

Ye Li controlled the clone soldier as if strolling through a garden, chatting leisurely with Stark: "However... Tony, sometimes seeing isn't necessarily believing."

Stark: "What do you mean?"

"People can act."

Ye Li walked to the room upstairs.

Opened a door—

He saw a thin, bearded old man clutching the window, about to climb out and escape...

This person was the so-called "Mandarin."

The one who had been enthusiastically performing for the American public for free on television a few days ago.

In reality, his real name was Trevor Slattery.

Tony followed Ye Li into the room, and as soon as he saw the "Mandarin," he immediately aimed his gun at him—

"Don't move!"

"Oh!"

Slattery was startled and hurriedly raised his hands: "I'm not moving. Whatever you want, take it... Those guns on the wall are fake; they wouldn't let me have the real thing."

"Or..."

He looked at the two women in lingerie hiding behind him and raised an eyebrow at Tony: "... do you want these two little things? I can let you have them."

"Heh~"

Stark shrugged at the clone soldier beside him and teased Ye Li: "He's having quite a bit of fun. Are you interested?"

"Get lost."

Slap~—Ye Li slapped the glib-tongued Tony right on the forehead.

Someone who spends every night with five beauties at a minimum... how could he possibly be interested in this...

Besides, he was only controlling the clone soldier's body right now and felt absolutely nothing...

"Ow...!"

"... Fine, I guess you don't like it."

"Actually, I don't like it either..."

Tony pointed his gun at Slattery: "I must say, your taste is quite mediocre, Mandarin."

"Have some sympathy. For an old man like me, my aesthetic sense is bound to have a generation gap with you young people... Hmm?"

Slattery paused, pointing at himself: "You called me Mandarin? Oh, it seems you..."

After Slattery's explanation.

Tony gradually understood that the terrorist leader, the Mandarin, was just a stand-in, an actor...

The real mastermind had always been Killian.

"Fuck!"

He couldn't help but curse, turned around, and prepared to head to the hideout Killian had disclosed...

Bang!

A flaming Extremis soldier suddenly burst out of the closet and lunged at Stark!

Savin was dead, so Killian naturally would have sent new people to protect and monitor Slattery.

"Oh!"

Tony rolled on the ground in fright—

—"Li, hurry and take him out!"

"Uh...

Tony, I've run into some trouble on my end too."

Ye Li's side... seemed to have encountered some issues, "I'm logging off first. Let's play again next time."

"Hey, at such a critical moment!"

Tony was left speechless. What did he mean by "play again next time"? Did he really think this was just a game?

Did that make him an NPC?

Ye Li: "What are you worried about? It's all your security outside; let's just leave this guy to the soldiers."
