On the Pacific Coast Expressway, a silver-white supercar is speeding towards California.
“The scenery here is really nice,” Ger said to Natasha beside him, wearing sunglasses and driving the car.
Natasha, dressed very casually and wearing a Hawaiian-style hat, smiled and said, "Tony enjoys life much more than we do. His villa is built on the edge of a cliff, and the architect of the villa has designed many world-famous buildings."
From afar, Ger could see a modern-style villa standing on the edge of the cliff.
The closer he got, the more Gerr felt that the villa was designed with great artistry.
The villa is perched on the edge of a cliff, its overall shape resembling a flying saucer from outer space. Its silvery-white curved lines are both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
After driving along the road for a while, we finally arrived at Tony's seaside villa.
"Wow! So the white-robed wizard is just a kid who's barely come of age." Tony greeted him, his smart glasses capturing a picture of Gel. Jarvis immediately searched for all of Gel's information online and broadcast it to Tony through his earpiece.
Gel didn't respond to Tony's words, but simply handed Tony the red wine he was carrying: "This is my first time visiting your home, so I brought a small gift."
“Your mannerisms really resemble an ‘old’ friend from China that I know.” Tony avoided the hand. “Sorry, I don’t like accepting things from strangers.”
Potts stepped in to smooth things over, taking the things from Ger's hands: "It's okay, I like taking things from others, just give them to me."
Gel knew Tony had this annoying personality, so he didn't care at all. He just thought that if there really was a "sparring match" later, he would definitely beat Tony up.
But Tony glanced at Gel a few times, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed. So he subconsciously took off his sunglasses, looked at him carefully, and asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Jarvis was the first to answer through the earpiece: "Sir, when we encountered the robbers at the mall that day, the robbers were taking Mr. Gel hostage."
Tony reacted immediately: "Wow, it's you."
Gel heard Jarvis's voice and smiled, "I also want to thank Mr. Tony for 'saving my life' that day."
Natasha seemed to realize something, and a suppressed smile appeared on her face. Only Potts didn't understand what Tony was talking about and asked, "Have you two met before?"
Natasha and Potts walked into the house, explaining as they went, and Potts finally understood what had happened.
Once inside, the four of them started chatting about all sorts of things.
But as time went by, Tony seemed to get restless, and he hesitated to speak several times, which Potts found amusing.
“Gale, I’d like to invite you to see my Iron Man suit collection,” Tony said, setting down his wine glass.
Ger nodded, putting down his barely-drunk glass as well: "Great, I've been looking forward to it."
After walking through uniquely designed corridors and staircases, the two arrived at the basement. Compared to the romantic style of the lobby, the basement was much more unconventional.
At first glance, the basement is extremely high and spacious, filled with various high-tech elements: a row of glass cabinets on the right is full of various Iron Man suits; in the corner at the right rear, there are dozens of retro sports cars piled up, with a huge computer monitor on top of them; on the left is a computer desk, which is covered with all kinds of monitors.
The most surprising thing is that the holographic projection in the middle of the living room is demonstrating the various transformations of the Iron Man suit.
“This is Mark IV, an Iron Man suit I’ve used for a long time, filled with satellite missiles. This is Mark V, a suitcase-style armor; I was able to defeat Ivan at the racetrack thanks to it. This is Mark VI, which uses a reactor I invented for its energy, making it even more powerful. The others are still under construction and not yet fully completed,” Tony explained as he walked.
Gel used magic to sense the internal structure of the Iron Man suits, and the more he sensed, the more impressed he became with Tony's talent. Compared to the Iron Man suits he had confiscated from Ivan, these suits were far more sophisticated in design, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly a genius design!"
"I think you have good taste." Tony had heard this kind of praise many times, but hearing it from Gel, he couldn't help but smugly add, "Then want to try their power?"
Ger nodded, but without any modesty: "Okay, but these few probably won't be enough for me to fight."
Tony opened the glass cabinet door and stood towards the Mark 6 behind him. The Mark 6 automatically extended and retracted, then enveloped Tony's body: "Let's give it a try."
Tony piloted the Mark 6 out of the glass case and walked step by step toward Gel.
Compared to the towering and imposing Iron Man suit, Ger looked much smaller, but Ger didn't move an inch. He simply said calmly as Tony approached, "Come out."
Then the Mark 6 automatically disintegrated from Tony's body, exposing Tony to the air.
Gel withdrew his mind magic, and Tony's eyes cleared instantly. Reflecting on his actions, Tony finally realized that even his Mark 6 couldn't escape Gel's control. Dejected, he sat down in the chair beside him and spoke frankly: "Yes, you guessed it. I invited you here today to see if you could control me like you controlled Ivan. And it turns out you can."
