When the first batch of reinforcements from ASCHUN arrived at the attacked base, there was nothing worthy of rescue left in the base.

Fires soared into the sky in the square, and the wreckage of Kun-type fighter jets and heavy tanks could be seen everywhere. They were licked by ruthless flames and sparks splashed like raindrops in every passage of the entire facility.

Nick Fury stood on the platform of the messy hall, looking as if it was ashen. The agents walked through the hall in a hurry, searching for any clues left by the attackers.

Deputy Director Maria Hill walked up the metal moving escalator to the platform. Fury turned around and said, "Is there any clue?"

"Yes." Deputy Director Hill nodded and handed over a tablet computer with a gray ASUS badge painted on the screen. "I don't think the other party had ever thought about hiding it. Our surveillance camera captured the whole process."

Fury took the tablet and unlocked the screen. A surveillance screen that was not clear was played immediately. In the picture, they could vaguely see a figure in black armor as if a divine weapon had descended from the sky. With one person's strength, he easily suppressed all the resistance armed forces of the Aegis at this base.

Fury's one-eyed frowns.

"Is it the only one I think looks like, or is this guy..."

"It's the one who appeared at the Cosmic Cube Research Institute? Yes, I feel so too, sir." Hill said.

Fury frowned and pondered for a while.

"Create an independent file for this guy, mark the highest level of danger." Fury ordered.

"Yes, sir." Hill hesitated and asked, "Do you need to ask Stark for his opinion?"

It makes sense for her to think so. Judging from the current information, Tony Stark is naturally the first person in the field of individual armor technology in the world.

"No, no need for the time being." Fury shook his head, "Not now."

***

Saturday, evening.

People of all kinds were crowded around the venue surrounded by colorful lights, and reporters from major media in the city accounted for the majority. It seemed that the mayor's public relations team was doing a pretty good job, and this charity party with the mayor's broad mind as the theme has indeed received due attention.

As Michael Paso emerged from the back seat of a supercar painted in dark blue, the flashes were almost flashed. They shouted the young president's name enthusiastically, as if the person who shouted the most hardworking could take the best shot.

No wonder they are so enthusiastic. This young president who emerged in just two years is indeed a striking new star. His advanced concept in many technological fields has led Paso Technology to develop from a new generation to its current scale in two years. It can be described as the term "miracle".

A few years ago, Stark Industries, the largest arms supplier in the United States, announced that it would withdraw from arms manufacturing (the same year, Tony Stark, the owner of Stark Group, announced that he was Iron Man). That incident caused an uproar across the country, but also led to fundamental changes in the interests landscape.

You should know that Stark Industry's arms trade had already formed a complex chain of interests before this. Stark's announcement of withdrawal means that the long-established pattern will be reshuffled. A large number of manufacturers relying on their company's survival need to find another way out. The military originally provided a large number of orders to Stark's companies every year will also need to be re-tendered.

A war without gunpowder began quickly, and for a while, the country's military industry was full of gunpowder.

The most favored companies were originally Hanmer Technology and Osborne Industry. Almost everyone thought that they would be one of them to win the throne given up by Stark Industry and then become the arms giant that occupies the peak of the industry. The battle gradually developed. In order to maintain a protracted war, the two sides fought openly and secretly for two or three years without distinction. During this period, no third party even thought about intervening in the war between these two giants - because it obviously had no chance of winning.

But what everyone never expected was that Paso Technology, a small company that had just been reborn, had no reputation and no foundation, actually entered the battle at this most critical moment.

This newly added small competitor did not even attract the attention of the two giants because they really couldn't find a reason to face such an inconspicuous enemy. For them, Paso Technology at that time was like an ant at the feet of a giant, destroying it was just a slight effort.

But the next series of achievements of this tiny ant struck everyone. First, they snatched away a large order provided by the Ministry of Defense to Hammo Technology with an electromagnetic rifle that originally only existed in concept. Then they launched a portable special jet backpack that perfectly suppressed the gliding pedal that Osborne Technology is developing and took away the interests that originally belonged to Osborne Industry.

Then, before the two major companies recovered, Paso Technology immediately launched a laser rifle - an energy weapon identified by experts as "initial form". Although this technology cannot be said to be mature yet, it means an impact on the entire weapon industry system, and perhaps even a sign of the comprehensive advancement of world weapons technology.

Before this, the whole world knew that Iron Man was the only one who publicly mastered the energy weapon technology.

The Ministry of Defense has now ordered this laser rifle on a large scale from Paso Technology, and it clearly shows the intention of long-term cooperation. Although the situation has not yet been determined, Paso Technology, which emerged from nowhere, has obviously gained an advantage in this battle for long-term interests.

When everyone finally began to face this new player, it was too late. This emerging company incredibly easily resolved the pressure exerted from all walks of life - both from the open means and from shameful ones.

Unfortunately, such a young man with a halo is a bit low-key, not the kind who likes to show up in public. Apart from these incredible achievements he has made public, the public knows very little about him, so it is no wonder that the reporters showed such high enthusiasm for him.

The venue was filled with people. After passing through the gate, Michael had to stop after walking two or three steps and began to chat with some celebrities who he was not familiar with. Their topics ranged from business and trade coverage to the latest song and dance dramas, to the cover girl of this fashion magazine. Michael had a gentle and humble smile on his face, and he seemed to be very interested in any topic.

"Look at who is here."

Michael turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a straight suit and smooth hair walking through the crowd in his direction. He had a smile on his face, but the blind man could see the sharpness hidden under the smiling face.

That was Norman Osborne, the owner of the Osborne Group. In other words, it was also one of Michael's biggest competitors at the moment. The moment the eyes of both sides intersected, it seemed that there was an invisible spark in the air, and the smell of gunpowder spread.

Norman Osborne, the super villain in the "Spider-Man" series, was split in his personality due to some enhanced serum in the original work. He wore a Halloween clown-like uniform and flew around all day on his glider to make some explosions, claiming to be a "green demon".

There is no Green Demon in the MCU movie series so far. However, even if Osborn turned into Green Demon, it doesn't matter. Michael judged that Green Demon was just a "Holy Clown who was behind skateboarding equipment" and was not a threat.

Michael greeted him politely: "Mr. Osborne."

Norman Osborne took two Martini from the waiter and handed one of them to Michael. Osborne shook the cup and touched Michael's cup crisply.

"Please allow me to pay a cup of New York's youngest genius." He drank half a cup of Martini and breathed a breath. "It's rare to see the great Michael Paso have time to attend such social activities. I thought genius' time was as precious as gold. Shouldn't you be in the lab... modified jet thrusters or something?"

Osborne is obviously still unhappy with the order for Paso Technology's backpack jet thrusters. The Ministry of Defense had decided to order Osborne's gliding pedals, and they had even invested money in mass production. However, Paso Technology was just at this critical moment and launched the jet thruster, which had all the advantages in performance, cost and convenience, to steal the order.

So it should not be an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two sides is the enemy at present.

Michael smiled disconcertedly: "No, Mr. Osborne. Thank you for your concern, but the functions of the thruster have been basically improved and there is no need to be improved for the time being. However, we are trying to develop laser-guided mini missiles recently and try to assemble various warheads. The project has entered the testing stage, and I believe that those in the army will definitely be interested in this."

Norman Osborn's face turned gloomy again - what he said was also one of the projects under development of Osborne. They are testing the use of laser-guided micro-missiles to the glider, hoping to attract the interest of military tycoons again.

Applause rang out like a wave of tides around, and the people in the hall stopped chatting and consciously made a clear path. The mayor walked onto the stage with the welcome of the guests. He waved his hand, expressed his gratitude to all the guests, and began a clichéd inspiring speech.

So Osborn stopped talking. But throughout the night, he kept throwing sinister eyes at a young man in the hall intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to give him a fatal blow with his sharp eyes.

But he also noticed one thing.
