Chapter 376 Mark II
When night falls in New York, the whole city seems to be cast under a spell.

On the streets, neon lights flicker like stars, and the various colors of light interweave to create a dazzling brilliance. Huge electronic screens stand on high-rise buildings, constantly changing colorful pictures and sometimes playing fashion advertisements.

However, in this seemingly prosperous and bustling street, bursts of exclamations were heard from time to time.

An object with flames spurting out of its tail was flying at high speed, rapidly passing through the congested road and rushing straight into the sky. People in the car windows poked their heads out to look, but they could not see the other object's shape at all. Only the tiny tail flame was like a meteor streaking through the sky and rushing straight into the sky.

At a secret military base in New York, the air defense system was on high alert. Technicians were operating computers, trying to access satellite monitoring of unknown flying objects.

"How is it, have you found out the other party's background?"

An American major roared loudly that an unidentified flying object had appeared in one of the largest cities in the United States, and it appeared in the city center of the United States. This was a mockery to their air defense system!

"Major, the enemy's speed is close to supersonic speed, but we still received a blurry image!"

A technician with glasses and thinning hair said in a deep voice.

The middle-aged major hurried over, but when he looked at the figure on the screen, there was an incredible look on his face.

"You're kidding me?"

"No sir, this is the image captured by our most advanced satellite... As we can see, he appears to be a man of steel."

"..."

The huge air defense system center was in complete silence. The middle-aged major stared blankly at the meteor-like object on the big screen that was rapidly shooting towards the sky.

"Shit—"

……

"Wow!"

Inside the silver steel armor, Tony Stark, who was operating the newly developed Mark II at high speed, couldn't help but yell.

In the past, he did not waste his time, but optimized and adjusted the previous Mark I. After removing a lot of heavy redundancy, he quickly completed the modification and upgrade of Mark I.

The Mark II was lighter and had a more complete system, which made him eager to fly it to test the relevant data.

However, the testing process went very smoothly, and with the help of his own artificial intelligence Jarvis, Tony Stark now felt like a fish in water, flying freely and casually in the sky, dispelling the depression and doubts in his heart these days.

"Maybe I should look higher up!"

With a hint of joy on his face, Tony Stark's figure soared into the sky.

……

In Tony Stark's house, a figure dressed in simple British aristocratic clothing suddenly appeared in the hall.

Looking at the empty room, Lin Jue quickly sensed something. He instantly transferred and reappeared in Tony Stark's laboratory.

"Welcome, Your Excellency the Eternal Night Palace!"

The voice of the artificial intelligence Jarvis echoed in the room. However, Lin Jue was not panicked at all. He sat on the sofa in the laboratory, looking at the transparent light screen that kept flashing various data and information streams. It seemed that some data calculations were going on there.

"Jarvis, is my troublesome nephew playing with his new toy?"

"Your Excellency, Grand Duke Yongye, where did you get this information? As far as I know, the master did not spread any news about Mark II."

"Hah - anything?" Shaking his head and realizing that this was a turning point, Lin Jue got up and left.

His figure disappeared and he reappeared on the top floor of the Empire State Building. Standing on the tall building where the cold wind was howling, Lin Jue saw a black shadow spinning rapidly in the sky at a glance.

"It's really the same as the original series... Because the Mark II doesn't have the ability to resist cold, the aircraft freezes when flying at high altitude..."

Looking at the figure falling from the sky, Lin Jue curled his lips and did not intend to help.

However, when the figure was about to touch the ground, he frowned slightly, and his figure flashed and appeared in the shouting American crowd. After instantly catching Tony Stark who was about to hit the ground, he took him and disappeared on the spot.

"Holy shit! What was that?"

"Iron Man? There was also a man in a black robe, but I didn't see his face clearly!"

"Oh my god, that guy just appeared out of nowhere, didn't he?"

“…There’s Superman!”

On the brightly lit top floor of the villa, Lin Jue and Tony Stark appeared in the sky at the same time.

The moment he let go of his hand, Tony Stark's figure soared into the sky and then slowly descended. He took off his helmet with a look of surprise on his face. He looked at Lin Jue, who was standing on the rooftop of his house with an indifferent expression. He wanted to say something. However, when his foot stepped on the shutdown pump, the bricks and stones collapsed instantly, and the whole person smashed through the floor of the second floor and hit the parking lot in the basement heavily.

"Tony, it seems that there is still a big problem with your armor!"

The words were filled with some kind of teasing tone, and the voice rang in Tony Stark's ears. He turned his head in panic and looked at the man standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, and could not help but let out a scream.

"Oh, shit! Uncle Lin, could you please not appear out of nowhere so suddenly? Scaring people can kill them! God, how on earth did you do that?"

Lin Jue's figure flashed and he appeared again, sitting in a limited edition luxury sports car manufactured by Yongye. He looked indifferently at Tonysta who was staggering out of the armor.

"My power is beyond your comprehension, Tony. Your father was once curious about it, but he never figured out my abilities in his life!"

"..."

Tony Stark finally freed himself from the armor. Feeling somewhat ashamed, he had a wooden face. He did not dwell on the problem with Lin Jue's ability, but walked quickly towards his laboratory. He probably knew where the problem lay.

"Tony, I'm leaving first? I hope your armor can really stand on its own!"

When the voice behind him fell, Tony Stark was stunned. He turned his head and wanted to say something, but Lin Jue's figure had disappeared in the underground garage of his house.

"…Shit! Should I upgrade my home's defense system?"

After a brief hesitation, Tony Stark couldn't help but start talking nonsense.

"Sir, based on the current data and probability, it is difficult for your current technology to intercept Mr. Lin Jue. He may have used some space technology that is far beyond this era, and space has always been a blind spot for current technology!"

"…That's enough, Jarvis!"

Tony Stark stopped his own artificial system in frustration, came to the experimental display table, and looked at an extra object on it with a stunned expression.

"To my good nephew - I hope this will give you a stronger body!"

"..."

No need to guess, Tony Stark also knows who sent it.
