Chapter 17 - 17

Every woman hopes that when she encounters danger, a Prince Charming will bravely step forward to protect her, ultimately defeat the villain, and then come to her side and gently ask, "You weren't scared, were you?"

Like most women, Lois also had such fantasies, but she also understood that they were just fantasies, rarely happening in reality, and the chance of it happening to her was even smaller than winning five million in the lottery.

Lois Lane was a reporter for a news agency, and she was not well-liked by her boss, simply because once, her bald middle-aged boss tried to take advantage of her. She would never agree, so she directly kicked him hard between his legs.

After that, the bald man often made trouble for her. Today, he even sent her here, supposedly for a street interview. Interview my foot! If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to lose this job, she would have taken off her high heels and smashed them hard into her boss's ugly face.

What Lois didn't expect was that today, for some reason, she had incredible luck. A street interview turned into a street battle, and it was a battle between two robots.

Moreover, they came from the direction of Stark Industries. She felt she had discovered a shocking secret and quickly called her company, bypassing her bald direct superior and calling the news agency's president. She explained the situation to him and suggested that she should do a live broadcast immediately.

The president agreed to Lois's proposal and stated that if she did well this time, she would get a promotion and a raise when she returned.

Lois fantasized that after this, her bald boss wouldn't even be fit to tie her shoes, and then she focused even more intently on the broadcast.

It was precisely because she was too focused that she didn't realize the danger was approaching until it was almost upon her… At this moment, Lois looked at the figure in front of her. She hadn't expected the scene from her fantasies to appear before her eyes, and then she couldn't help but worry about the figure in front of her, because he was facing an eight-foot-tall iron giant.

However, Lois quickly witnessed a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life. That not-so-strong figure actually caught the robot's outstretched left hand, and he did it using only his right hand, without retreating a single step. This scene was as shocking as a child lifting an elephant.

That's right, it was Li Yue who blocked Iron Monger for Lois, and he used his own strength. Li Yue's physical fitness was now about ten times that of an ordinary human. He could deliver a punch with nearly two tons of force.

Of course, such strength was not very useful against Iron Monger's full-power attack. However, first, Iron Monger's armor had already sustained fatal damage, and his goal was to grab a hostage to give himself a chance to escape, so he didn't use much strength. This was also why Li Yue could easily catch his arm… Iron Monger had actually seen Li Yue, who hadn't fled, off to the side, but in his haste, he hadn't recognized him. Seeing Lois next to Li Yue, he decisively set his target on Lois. Women were easier to control.

However, Iron Monger didn't expect that he would be blocked by someone, and it was precisely Li Yue, whom he had just disregarded.

"So it's you! You've ruined my plans repeatedly. This time, I'm going to kill you!"

At this moment, Iron Monger finally saw Li Yue's face clearly and recognized him as the person who had saved Pepper from his grasp. With new and old grudges combined, he immediately intended to use all his strength to kill Li Yue. Although Li Yue could block him, he hadn't used much strength in that previous blow. This time, he prepared to strike with full force, intending to smash Li Yue, who had dared to ruin his plans twice, into a pulp.

"What's going on? Where is he? He's gone!"

However, before he could make any move, he suddenly found that Li Yue's figure had disappeared from his sight. Looking around, he was horrified to discover that he was hundreds of meters high in the sky, falling towards the ground, and at the same time, he saw Tony, wearing the red Iron Man suit, below him.

Li Yue reappeared in front of Tony.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish him off," Li Yue said to the somewhat dazed Tony.

"Oh, okay… Okay, I'll take care of him now."

Tony only snapped back to reality when he heard Li Yue's words. He hadn't expected Iron Monger to be so deranged as to attack innocent civilians, and he had no time to stop him. Fortunately, Li Yue happened to be there, so no one was injured by Iron Monger… Tony raised both hands, palms facing the tumbling Iron Monger falling from the sky. Energy converged, and two beams of light instantly shot out from his palms, directly hitting the falling Iron Monger without any mercy.

This is the difference between Marvel superheroes and DC superheroes. Marvel superheroes show no mercy to villains; if they can kill them, they won't let them live any longer.

DC, on the other hand, advocates humanitarianism, insists on maintaining its bottom line, and will not actively kill villains. Each has its differences, and Li Yue finds it difficult to comment much. In any case, Li Yue will not let go of anyone who opposes him.

Tony's original intention was just to capture Obadiah and imprison him, but after Pepper almost died, he no longer had any thoughts of showing mercy to Obadiah, who had once been like an uncle to him.

Iron Monger was helpless in the air. His armor had lost its right arm, and in the situation of rapid freefall, he couldn't maintain balance at all. He could only watch helplessly as Tony below him fired energy beams at him.

Boom!!!

Iron Monger exploded directly in the air, like a beautiful firework blooming in the sky.

Tony looked at Iron Monger, who had been blown to smithereens in the sky, and a slight sense of regret arose in his heart. Although deep down, Tony kept reminding himself that he had almost killed Pepper just now, and what he did was already letting him off easy.

But he was once his uncle, yet fate is fickle, and it ultimately came to this… Lois was staring blankly at Iron Monger, who had been blown to pieces in the sky. Her mood was somewhat complex now. It seemed that the person who had just saved her was not an ordinary person; he had disappeared from her sight in an instant, and he had disappeared with that Iron Man.

Suddenly, she heard a gentle voice beside her.

"Was the fireworks I gave you pretty?" Li Yue had shamelessly started flirting.

"Absolutely beautiful, and I think to thank you for saving my life, I should treat you to dinner. I wonder if you would accept."

Lois looked towards the source of the voice and found it was the familiar figure who had just disappeared from her sight. She couldn't help but ask, her voice filled with excitement.

"Of course, and as a gentleman, I believe I should be the one to treat you to dinner. May I have the honor of knowing your name?"

"Lois Lane. You can call me Lois!"

Lois Lane? That name sounds somewhat familiar…
