Chapter 66
……
Noon.
Karl, who had finished the battle, washed up and drank wine.
Isabella had plenty of fine wine here.
No need to go home to get it.
After more than two hours.
Isabella finally rested well.
After washing up, she went out to eat with Karl.
In the afternoon, Karl and Isabella went shopping.
In the evening, they returned to Elektra’s home.
……
A few days later, Elektra used the excuse that Karl was delaying her work.
And pushed Karl out.
After all.
Every time they fought.
It would take several hours.
And they had to rest afterwards.
It was very exhausting.
Even for Elektra, it would affect her work.
Consequently, Karl was kicked out again.
This time, Karl went to Isabella’s home.
Recently she seemed to be on vacation, having just finished a movie not long ago.
She didn’t have any work recently.
She could accompany Karl.
Karl stayed at her place.
These days.
Karl accompanied Isabella.
Sometimes, he would go to other girlfriends’ places for a few days.
With nothing to do, he could go to the chat group to chat.
It was quite leisurely.
However.
Regarding his system, Karl didn’t know what to say.
The rewards obtained from signing in didn’t have any precious items.
Fatty happy water, various strange battle suits, daily necessities…
It seemed to have everything.
But none of it was of much use.
Karl was recently thinking about whether to accumulate another sign-in.
Just like he did before.
He accumulated twenty-five years of sign-ins and obtained the Silver Superman template.
If he signed in for thirty years?
What would it give?
Fifty years?
It seemed his current strength was enough.
Accumulating sign-ins for a period of time wouldn’t be a problem, right?
Karl wasn’t sure. CHAPTER 241
He was considering it.
And besides that, Karl had recently been paying attention to Stark Industries’ stock.
Since this period of time.
As the time of Tony Stark’s disappearance gradually increased.
Stark Industries’ stock also plummeted all the way.
Now it was a real crash.
Market value evaporated by tens of billions.
US dollars.
Even, because Stark Industries’ stock plummeted.
Karl’s assets also shrank quite a bit.
After all.
He still had quite a few shares in Stark Industries.
But he didn’t care.
This was a situation he had long anticipated.
He still had billions in funds in his hands.
When Tony Stark returns, he’ll buy Stark Industries stock again.
Naturally, he could earn it back.
"It’s fallen enough now."
"Should I go and rescue Tony Stark?"
"Hmm… tomorrow."
"It’s already afternoon today."
Consequently, Karl accompanied Isabella out shopping.
……
In the dim cave.
Although it was daytime and there were many lighting lamps.
It was still very dark here.
At this moment.
Tony Stark was focused on operating various instruments.
It seemed he was making something.
As Tony placed a piece of material into the object in front of him.
In front of him, that ring-shaped object gradually lit up.
Finally succeeded!
Tony Stark looked at the glowing ring in front of him, excited.
To make this thing, he had spent a full few weeks!
"What is this?"
On the side, Yinsen looked at the glowing ring and asked curiously.
"Miniature arc reactor."
"This thing can replace the magnet on my chest, allowing my heart to beat for five thousand years. Or, support a behemoth for 15 minutes."
Saying this, Tony took out a blueprint.
On it was a robot-like battle suit.
Tony told Yinsen his plan.
Yinsen looked at the blueprint, sighing in his heart.
As expected of Tony Stark.
In such a crude situation, he could actually make such equipment.
……
On the other side.
The Ten Rings gang discovered that the things Tony was making were vastly different from missiles.
Although they were uneducated, they were not stupid.
They had seen what a missile looked like.
Consequently, the leader of the Ten Rings ordered Tony to produce a missile by tomorrow.
Tony had no choice but to agree.
Time was tight, and the two of them worked desperately to build the armor.
Time gradually slipped away.
Their equipment was gradually being completed.
At this moment.
The leader of the Ten Rings, however, sensed something was wrong.
He immediately sent men to investigate.
However, Tony Stark had already put on the armor by this time.
The program was currently loading.
Yet at this moment.
Members of the Ten Rings had already arrived nearby.
"Someone's coming!"
Hearing the sound, the two were startled.
Yinsen glanced at the loading progress bar, a look of firm determination flashing in his eyes.
Then.
He turned around, grabbed a rifle from the side, and rushed outside.
Seeing this, Tony shouted hurriedly, "Yinsen! Don't go out!"
"Just wait for the program to finish loading."
But Yinsen did not listen to him and did not stop.
He went straight out.
"Damn it!"
Tony cursed under his breath.
But there was nothing he could do.
Because he was fixed inside the suit.
The program had not finished loading, so he could not move.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a sudden cry of alarm rang out.
Following that, it became quiet.
"What happened?"
Tony felt anxious; that sound just now had come from Yinsen.
Finally.
The program finished loading.
Tony piloted the suit and went out.
However.
Seeing the scene before him, he suddenly froze.
When the simple bomb installed at the entrance exploded and the sound came through.
Yinsen knew that the people from the Ten Rings had arrived.
Tony Stark's suit could not be activated yet.
The system was still loading.
At this time, Yinsen had no choice but to step out to stall for time.
He knew.
If he didn't go out, the final result might be that both of them would die.
As long as Yinsen stalled for time for Tony Stark.
Once the suit's system finished loading, they would have a chance to turn the tables.
Therefore.
Yinsen did not hesitate and went to the side of the Ten Rings member killed by the bomb.
He picked up the rifle and rushed out.
He had to stall for time for Tony Stark.
When Yinsen came out holding the gun.
He knew that he was as good as dead.
After all, he was just an ordinary person.
Although he couldn't be said to be completely helpless, he rarely did physical labor.
He didn't know much about firearms either.
He couldn't compare at all to those Ten Rings members outside who fought and killed at the drop of a hat.
But even so, he had to go.
Yinsen's family had already passed away long ago.
Even if he died now, he would just be joining them.
Yinsen felt that there was nothing wrong with that.
Moreover, this could save Tony Stark.
That was still good.
Otherwise, both of them would die.
Being able to save one was better than both dying.
Yinsen walked out of the cave where they were making weapons and kept running outward.
And from time to time, he pulled the trigger in his hand.
After all.
His goal was to attract the Ten Rings members.
To buy time for Tony to load the system.
"What's going on? Why is there no one here?"
Yinsen, while running, was very puzzled.
Could it be.
That these people had no intention of approaching them?
If that were the case, could he still survive?
Although Yinsen's family had all died.
He felt that if he could stall for time for Tony Stark.
Even dying would be fine.
But if he could continue to live, of course he didn't want to die just like that.
However.
Just as Yinsen was thinking.
He discovered that in the wide cave in front of him.
There were more than a dozen people standing there.
They were all terrorists from the Ten Rings.
Each of them held firearms, seemingly waiting for him to come and die.
"It's over..."
Yinsen felt a shock in his heart.
