Watching Tony's retreating back, the hideout fell into a dead silence.
From this moment on, S.H.I.E.L.D. had lost its biggest financial backer and technical engineer. This was a heavy blow to all the agents, and the joy of having cracked the secret of the superpower faded significantly.
Nick Fury stood stunned for a moment, then turned and returned to the conference room.
Without Tony's support, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s road ahead would be even harder, so today's operation had to succeed. Only then could Fury gain the trust of the World Security Council and secure an even larger budget than before.
Fury picked up the communicator, ordering the armor squad hidden high in the sky to begin the operation immediately, while patching the live feed into the conference room.
Everyone got busy again. Natasha walked in carrying a first-aid kit and helped Fury bandage the wound on his head.

Malibu, Seaside Villa.
Everyone was worrying about Franklin's power failure when the roar of aircraft appeared in the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw twenty Iron Man suits burst through the clouds, flying towards them.
"Jason spotted! Jason spotted!"
"Shit! All the core members of the Joker organization are here!"
"These guys are tough to kill! Such a massive explosion and it didn't kill them!"
"Activate radio shielding! Get ready! Prepare for battle!"
*
Everyone watched with grim expressions as the armor legion dived.
Franklin, eager to take the lead and redeem himself, immediately reached out and grasped at the sky.
His power activated, but the Iron Man suits were not affected.
"Shit! What the hell is going on!" Franklin's brow furrowed.
"Alright, don't worry!" David walked over, patting his shoulder. "Once I knock them down, everything will be clear."
With that, David walked forward alone, opened his mouth wide, and roared at the sky: "AHHH!!!"
The infrasonic wave shot into the sky, instantly enveloping the entire armor legion.
Even though David was intentionally controlling his power, his accomplices nearby could still feel their bones and organs trembling.
"Sorry!" David said with a smile.
The next second, his smile froze completely.
In the face of the infrasonic attack, the suits had no reaction and just kept charging.
"Are the suits empty?" David was astonished.
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. conference room, the agents smiled when they saw this.
Infrasound is a mechanical wave, extremely harmful to the human body. But it has a limitation: it requires a medium to travel, like air or water. In other words, mechanical waves can't travel in a vacuum.
Tony had thought of the vacuum-sealed soundproof glass at his home and had a flash of inspiration: he added a vacuum layer between the Iron Man suit and the person inside.
Tony's casual addition had an explosively good effect. This made the agents in the conference room feel regretful all over again.

First Franklin, then David. Their powers were failing one after another.
Jason couldn't figure it out. Letting his imagination run wild, he quipped, "Could it be Seastone?"
"Honey! Watch out!"
After a cry of alarm, the armor legion descended.
John immediately crouched and pressed his hand to the ground. A thin layer of ice instantly appeared, spreading rapidly forward. His freezing ability was extraordinary. If the Iron Man suits touched this ice, they would quickly freeze up, causing equipment failure.
These agents knew the abilities of the Joker members inside and out. They immediately leaped into the air and attacked from above.
Five of the suits aimed at Jason, raising their arms and firing electromagnetic pulse waves!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Five golden electromagnetic pulses shot out.
The massive energy shield he had just released had exhausted Jason's internal energy; he desperately needed a recharge.
Jason didn't dodge, allowing the pulses to hit his body.
The moment they made contact, the pulses vanished without a trace. But Jason's face was filled with surprise!
Five un-charged pulses had refilled his empty energy reserves to 90% capacity!
The energy output of the second-generation Arc Reactor was truly terrifying.
Jason didn't hesitate. Energy surged from his body as he created distance from the suits.
"You two losers! I'll get you out of here!" Harley put her hands on Franklin and David's shoulders, preparing to teleport them.
"No need! I can still pilot a Joker Suit!" Franklin waved his hand, and a Joker Suit, which he used for transport, flew over from a distance.
"What about you?" Harley asked David.
David picked up his specialized sniper rifle, his face serious. "Send me to the nearest high ground! Even without my power, I won't lose!"
Harley nodded and teleported him to a hillside a kilometer away.
David lay on the ground, quickly assembling his rifle, then aimed at the weak points of the Iron Man suits.
When Harley returned to the battle, she immediately teleported behind an Iron Soldier, placing her hand on his shoulder.
Swoosh!
The two vanished!
The Iron Soldier was in the middle of a fierce fight when the world suddenly spun and his vision went black.
"What?"
The agent was confused, but he immediately realized Harley must have teleported him. Sure enough, when the agent broke through the darkness, he found himself in an underground warehouse, ten kilometers from the Malibu villa.
Harley repeated this trick, continuously teleporting soldiers off the battlefield to reduce the pressure on her teammates.
The battlefield was split into several pockets, with each accomplice facing several Iron Soldiers.
The battle was intense, with both sides trading blows. But with Harley acting as a "shit-stirrer," coupled with Christine's healing, the scales of victory slowly began to tip in their favor.
Everything happening on the battlefield was being transmitted live to the conference room's big screen.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s engineers watched and recorded the data.
Even as the battle situation turned critical, Fury and the agents present showed no panic.
Because this operation was not about annihilating the Joker organization; Fury knew they couldn't do that with their current strength.
This operation was only to collect data on their superpowers.
For example, Harley's maximum teleportation distance and spatial fluctuations.
For example, Christine's healing effectiveness, and digitizing it.
For example, Jason's instantaneous and total energy absorption limits.
This evenly matched battle was pushing the Joker organization to its limits, allowing S.H.I.E.L.D. to obtain a large amount of precious data.
"Is all the data recorded?" Fury asked.
The engineer hit the last key and nodded. "All recorded."
Fury immediately picked up the communicator and ordered the armor squad to withdraw.
After receiving the order, the armor squad prepared to disengage. Harley sensed their intent and immediately teleported one of the retreating suits back.
She also yelled to Jason: "Honey, they're trying to escape!"
Jason dodged an attack and sighed helplessly.
So what if he knew they were running? With his side's current strength, they couldn't stop them.
Just as Jason was about to give up, the system's light screen appeared.
[Ding! Mission [Revenge] has been completed!]
