Looking at Tony falling to the ground, Alex Ray quickly took out the Senzu beans and stuffed them into Tony's mouth.
Miles watched from the side, a look of panic on his face.
He looked at Tony, unsure what to do, and began to wonder whether he should call the police.
"Sir, should we call the police?" Miles' voice trembled slightly; it was clear he was frightened by the situation.
Alex didn't answer, his eyes fixed on Tony.
The next second, Tony, who had eaten the Senzu beans, suddenly moved his body; his complexion improved rapidly, and the hole in his chest was restored by the healing properties of the beans.
Seeing this, Alex was still worriedāif the small arc reactor was gone after the recovery, would Tony still be able to transform into Iron Man?
Tony, newly recovered, shouted, "Pepper, where's Pepper?"
Tony didn't care about his condition or why Alex had come. He only cared whether Pepper was in dangerāhe feared his uncle would harm her too.
Alex roughly understood the situation and quickly called Pepper.
A few seconds later, Pepper's phone connected.
"Hello, Ms. Potts, this is Alex Ray."
Before Alex could finish, Tony snatched the phone from him.
"Pepper, are you okay?" Tony asked directly.
On the other end, Pepper heard Tony's voice and responded excitedly, "Tony, are you okay? I'm fine. I'm on my way with the agents to capture Obadiah."
"I found evidence of him framing you on his computer this morning!"
When Tony learned Pepper was heading to capture Obadiah, he quickly said urgently, "Don't goāyou're no match for him. Go back, now." Tony knew Obadiah had already completed his war mech by this time, and ordinary people couldn't stand against him.
"But we're already downstairs," Pepper said, confused. In her view, Obadiah was just a man, and the presence of federal agents should be enough to ensure safety.
"Just listen to me and leave quickly. I'll come find you right away." Tony hung up and stood, preparing to rush out. His only goal was to get to Pepper and make sure she was safe.
Only Alex and Miles remained, exchanging glances.
Miles had endured a lot today. He had no clue what was happening but followed Alex all the way.
Alex had no choice but to follow as well. He hadn't expected that his visit to Tony would coincide with Tony's uncle snatching the small arc reactor from him to power a war machine.
If Alex's guess was correct, this meant Iron Man was fighting against an iron monstrosity.
"I say, are you just going to ignore your savior like this?" Alex complained in the car.
But he understood Tony was desperate to save Pepper.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry to find Pepper now," Tony said curtly, driving fast.
He concentrated fully, speeding down the road.
His heart was filled with worry and tension. He couldn't let Pepper take any risks. He had to reach her as soon as possible.
"I know, I should have saved Pepper earlier. Honestly, if I'd known sooner, I wouldn't have come here today and wasted a magic bean," Alex said helplessly.
Miles, sitting quietly in the backseat, was speechless. He had spent nearly the whole day in the car. The important thing was that the other two clearly had urgent matters to handle; he just had to wait.
Seeing Miles' helplessness, Alex quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll talk to Tony once we're done."
Tony seemed aware they wanted to speak with him but was focused solely on getting to Pepper.
"Why are you driving? Wouldn't it be faster to fly over in the suit?" Alex asked curiously. This didn't match the scenario he rememberedāwasn't Tony flying there as Iron Man at this point?
"You think I don't want to? You notice the wound on my chest has healed? How can I use the arc reactor? I have to make a new one," Tony said helplessly.
Tony wanted to get his mech immediately, but with his chest healed, he had to wait until the mission was over to upgrade the suit.
Also, he planned to ask Alex later what magic he had usedāsince it could heal him, Alex always came up with shocking things.
"How can you defeat your uncle without a mech?" Alex pressed with a frown.
Tony didn't answer, just looked at Alex.
Getting nervous, Alex shouted, "Don't just stare, drive!"
Alex understood Tony's thoughts immediately.
"So I'm working for you for free, huh? Not only did I save your life, I'm also solving your problems. Do you know how expensive the Senzu bean I fed you was? There are only four in the world, and you ate one!"
"I owe you a favor," Tony said solemnly.
Alex didn't respond. After all, he needed Tony's help too.
Deep in the laboratory, Obadiah Stane carried the small arc reactor he'd taken from Tony, a gleam of ambition in his eyes.
He walked slowly toward his war machine and carefully installed the precious reactor into the mech's core.
At the same time, Pepper and a team of agents rushed toward Obadiah's lab.
Pepper had wanted to follow Tony's advice and wait for him before acting.
But the anxious agents couldn't wait and headed straight to the lab.
Using small explosives, the agents blew open the lab's security door, the huge blast alerting Obadiah inside.
He peeked through a crack in the door, saw the intruders breaking in, and immediately began suiting up in his mech gear.
Conflict seemed inevitable.
Obadiah started his war machine, the roar of its engine echoing through the empty lab.
He observed the invaders through the mech's screens, eyes cold and determined.
Pepper and the agents entered cautiously, seeing piles of experimental drawings and the missing mech.
"He may have left," Pepper said quietly.
Now Pepper finally understood Tony's warning and silently hoped Obadiah had fled.
The agents, weapons ready, searched every corner of the lab, seeking any clues left by Obadiah.
Their expressions were tense, weapons their only support.
The air in the lab was thick with invisible tension, as if danger lurked nearby.
Suddenly, a huge figure fell from the sky, landing near Pepper.
Pepper's eyes widened in terror; she only had time to scream before turning and running in her heels.
Her heart pounded like a drum; every step trembled.
A fight erupted.
The agents' bullets and explosives scarred the machine, but Obadiah's war mech remained unscathed, as if immune.
Under the iron fist of the mech, the agents fell one by one, blood and shattered limbs scattered on the floor.
Only Pepper escaped.
Just as Pepper thought she was safe and reached for her phone to call Tony,
Behind her, a mech burst from the ground.
Pepper spun around, screamed in fear, and backed away.
Obadiah controlled the mech, raising his right hand, coldly saying, "You are useless now."
Pepper's heart sankāthere was nowhere left to run.
Facing Obadiah's war machine, she felt like a tiny ant about to be crushed.
At that moment of despair, a voice echoed from the sky: "Stane!!"
Obadiah looked up and saw Alex Ray using magnetism to drag Tony and his car into the air.
