"But the president was captured."
[But before Hachiman Hikigaya could even enjoy his moment for a few seconds, a single sentence from Iron Man Zhuge Cong made him lose his composure.]
"Even with your armor, you couldn't save the president. We have nothing now, how are we supposed to save Ai Haibara?"
"Jarvis, is it time?"
[Iron Man Zhuge Cong ignored Hachiman Hikigaya's words; he had his own decision to make. Then, Iron Man Zhuge Cong turned to Jarvis for a question.]
"Is this the protocol for a family gathering, sir?"
【“Yes.”】
"Family gathering, is that a code name?"
Conan Edogawa stared at the word "family gathering" that Jarvis mentioned on the screen and began to ponder.
"family?"
"reunion?"
"Does it mean inviting many superheroes to help him?"
Conan Edogawa thought to himself.
------------
"What do you think the 'family members' in Iron Man's Zhuge Cong plan refer to?"
L looked at Light Yagami beside him and said.
"Superhero?"
"No, if it's about superheroes, it wouldn't be enough for Iron Man Zhuge Cong to describe it as a family gathering; it would be more like a party."
Light Yagami thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Mark42 is the designation of Iron Man Zhuge Cong's current suit of armor."
L spoke up.
"For Iron Man Zhuge Cong, the armor is undoubtedly his second life, his life."
Light Yagami understood what L meant.
"So, Iron Man Zhuge Cong's family gathering plan is to bring over all the Mark armor series."
"Use the number of armored vehicles to offset the disadvantage in numbers on our side."
Light Yagami spoke.
Meanwhile, inside the ruins of Iron Man Zhuge Cong's mansion, a construction crew was working when suddenly one of the workers heard a noise, turned around, and discovered that the floor had lit up.
Then the floor slowly unfolded, and all the employees around stopped talking and looked towards the opening.
[Suddenly, circular lights illuminated the previously dim underground space, followed by numerous suits of armor flying out of the entrance and disappearing into the distance.]
This scene left all the workers present completely stunned.
"So many, so many suits of armor."
"Unexpectedly, Iron Man Zhuge Cong didn't just upgrade his original suit and change his codename."
"Or did they just build a new one?"
Watching the steel armors flying out of the cave from within the light screen, Shadow Lord Kageno also admired Iron Man Zhuge Cong's wealth.
"Ha, ha!"
[Ai Haibara, who was captured by Orochimaru (White Phosphorus), was also injected with a small amount of the Extinction Virus by Orochimaru, and a faint light appeared on her neck.]
After being injected with the Extremis virus, Ai Haibara also awoke from her coma.
"Good evening, Ms. Ai Haibara."
Orochimaru (Shirarin) gave Ai Haibara a chilling smile and said...
"Where am I?"
"So, you captured me to threaten Cong?"
[Ai Haibara looked at Orochimaru and said.]
"Yes, but not entirely. Of course, capturing you was indeed intended to provoke Zhuge Cong."
Beside Orochimaru (Shiro Rin) was a hooded figure, none other than the Shadow Master, Kageno Minoru (the imposter).
[This Shadow Lord is a puppet; in other words, a substitute that Shadow Lord Kageno Minoru plans to use to fake his death.]
To some extent, Orochimaru's ideas and those of the Shadow Lord, Kageno Minoru, have clashed.
[Orochimaru faked his death to avoid being seen by everyone and to secretly develop his abilities in a dark corner.]
[The fact that Lord Shadow, Kageno, faked his death was a setup for the later revelation that he was still alive.]
Just as Orochimaru (Bai Lin) was about to say something, he suddenly heard a dull thud of metal clanging behind him. Orochimaru (Bai Lin) knew that Steel Patriots had arrived.
"Good evening, sir."
[Orochimaru (Bai Lin) spoke, and the next second, the Steel Patriot armor unfolded, and the president, who was encased inside, fell out of the armor and onto the ground.]
The president, also lying on the ground, looked at Orochimaru with a terrified expression.
"Welcome aboard, Mr. President."
Orochimaru (Shirarin) spoke to the President.
[Ai Haibara, who was also tied up, hadn't expected Orochimaru and his group to kidnap the president in this way.]
"Have you heard of the elephant graveyard, Mr. President?"
"Two years ago, this barge was an elephant graveyard."
"This is the Roxennock."
Orochimaru (Bai Lin) was accompanied by the President, and behind the President were Kimimaro, Hozuki Suigetsu, and Jugo.
The president also recognized the ship.
"Of course you remember, that ship spilled over a million barrels of crude oil near Pensacola."
"But I'm curious, how come this matter was simply dropped after they just randomly picked a few scapegoats?"
Orochimaru's snake-like eyes stared at the president, making the president feel uneasy.
"What do you want me to do?"
The president's voice trembled slightly at this point.
508: The Steel Legion vs. the Extremis Legion, Technology vs. Creatures
The president's trembling voice also revealed his inner fear.
It wasn't for any particular reason; it was mainly because I felt chilled by Orochimaru's cold, serpentine eyes.
"I want you to do this, no, not that, Mr. President."
"I just needed a good excuse to execute you live on television."
Orochimaru's words, if not spoken otherwise, would have been better, as they actually caused the president's psychological defenses to crumble somewhat.
If it were just an ordinary terrorist, even if they said they wanted to kill him, the president wouldn't be too afraid.
But the person in front of me and the people he represents aren't just talking; they're truly capable of killing me.
"Don't worry about what happens after you die. By this time tomorrow, he will take your place."
Orochimaru spoke up, saying that after Treve was captured by Iron Man and Zhuge Cong, the subsequent tasks naturally fell to Orochimaru, even though these were things Treve should have been doing in the first place.
However, because Orochimaru deliberately stopped it, Trevor could not proceed as scheduled. Nevertheless, Lord Kageno didn't blame Orochimaru; he simply had Orochimaru take over Trevor's job, and that was the end of it.
[As long as Shadow Lord Kageno Minoru achieves the result he desires, he doesn't care much about Treve's life or death.]
"Tie up our former president."
After Orochimaru finished speaking, Hozuki Suigetsu and Kimimaro walked up from behind, tied the president up tightly, and then stuffed him into the Steel Patriot armor.
"The person Orochimaru mentioned who will succeed the president?"
As Kiyotaka Ayanokouji looked at the image of Orochimaru on the screen, he pondered who this "him" was.
The light screen did not amplify the identity of the person Orochimaru mentioned. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji felt that it was probably not Lord Kageno Minoru, since Lord Kageno Minoru's style of doing things proved that he would not sit in the very eye-catching position of president.
"Is that Shadow Lord's stand-in? No, that stand-in is planning to fake his death."
"So, Lord Shadow is also preparing a decoy?"
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji also believes that Lord Shadow, Kageno Minoru, has prepared several decoys, one of which is the decoy intended to succeed the president.
Zhuge Cong and Hachiman Hikigaya also arrived at the port. They sneaked in under the cover of darkness, and just as they were about to climb the stairs, they heard the sound of a forklift passing by. They both stopped in their tracks. After the sound of the forklift faded away, Hachiman Hikigaya and Zhuge Cong climbed the stairs and boarded the ship.
[Hachiman Hikigaya has more combat experience without armor than Zhuge Cong, so he is ahead in this aspect.]
After quietly slipping behind a truck and confirming it was safe, Hachiman Hikigaya waved to Zhuge Cong, signaling him to come over.
Zhuge Cong quickly followed Hikigaya Hachiman and slipped behind the truck.
