“These guys are always running around in a panic.
They really aren’t composed at all!”
Jones said nothing, but the terrorist beside him spoke up.
Staring at the two men running rapidly toward Tony’s location, the terrorist’s face was filled with mockery.
“Haha…” Hearing him, Jones laughed and said directly, “Aren’t all the mature and steady ones assigned to jobs like yours?
Of course the ones left behind are going to be a bunch of reckless guys!”
“Jones, you little bastard, I like what you just said.
Hahaha!”
Hearing Jones’s words, the terrorist’s face instantly lit up with a smile.
He waved his large hand and slapped Jones on the shoulder several times before loudly declaring, “Everyone says you’re weak, but I think highly of you!
Work hard.
From now on, I’ll have your back!”
“Really?
Then thanks, man!”
Hearing this, Jones froze for a moment, and his face instantly filled with delight.
But hidden deep within his eyes was nothing but disdain.
Give me a break.
You’ll have my back?
If you can survive the next hour, come back and say that to me again.
Maybe I’ll believe you then!!
While paying lip service to the terrorist who was already as good as dead in Jones’s mind, he activated his X-ray vision and looked directly toward Tony’s room.
Of course, reality proved that Jones’s abilities weren’t all that powerful yet.
Even when he operated his X-ray vision at full strength, he could only see through one or two meters of rock.
He couldn’t see what was happening on Tony’s side at all.
But Jones didn’t mind in the slightest.
If he couldn’t see, then so be it.
He already knew exactly how things would develop from here.
All that remained was to follow his plan!
“Besides…
the time should be about right!”
Staring quietly in Tony’s direction, a flash of light passed through Jones’s eyes as he muttered inwardly.
The moment that thought left his mind, a violent explosion erupted from deep inside the cave.
The tremendous sound reverberated through the cave, leaving several people around Jones momentarily stunned.
“What happened?!”
In an instant, the terrorist who had claimed he would protect Jones jumped straight to his feet, his eyes still filled with confusion!
At the same time, bursts of gunfire rang out from deeper inside.
Anyone who wasn’t an idiot could tell what had happened.
Something had gone wrong on Tony’s side!!
The Boss, who quickly rushed out of the monitoring room, confirmed it the very next moment.
The moment he emerged, he immediately ordered Jones and the others to charge inside!!
Meanwhile, he himself stayed at the back, raising the grenade launcher and following behind the others.
Jones had no objection to the Boss’s order.
Narrowing his eyes, he quickly ran toward the depths of the cave.
However, Jones wasn’t stupid enough to run at the very front.
Of course, he wasn’t going to fall behind at the very back either.
Just as Jones reached a bend in the passage, the few men who had been running at the very front suddenly came rushing back at an even greater speed.
Then Yinsen, wearing glasses and carrying a gun, rushed out from behind them.
Waiting for Yinsen, however, were more than a dozen loaded machine guns.
Looking at Yinsen’s stunned expression, Jones almost burst out laughing.
He knew perfectly well that Yinsen was doing this to buy Tony time.
He also knew from the original story that Yinsen would do this, but seeing it with his own eyes was still so amusing that Jones almost forgot about the tense atmosphere around him!
Of course, Jones found Yinsen amusing, but the Boss and the others certainly didn’t see it that way!
Pushing the others aside, the Boss walked directly to the front and stared straight at Yinsen, his eyes filled with cold intent.
“Yinsen!!!
Good.
Very good!”
Hearing the Boss’s words, Yinsen froze.
But before he could recover, the gun in the Boss’s hand went off!
A bullet struck Yinsen in the abdomen.
The Boss immediately turned around and shouted, “Everyone, get inside!
Kill Tony Stark!”
“Yes!”
Hearing the Boss’s order, the terrorists shouted in unison before quickly rushing inside.
Yinsen followed them as well.
The Boss’s decision made Jones look at him in a slightly different light.
Although his idea of using Stark Industries’ weapons to conquer the world was somewhat childish, he was at least decisive enough to give the order at a critical moment without letting his grand ambitions hold him back.
That took some nerve.
Of course, no matter what decision he made, he was destined to die today.
Jones quickly passed by the Boss.
Before long, he and the others arrived outside the room where Tony was being held.
The first thing everyone saw upon arriving was the three bodies lying on the ground.
One was Yale, who had been guarding Tony, while the other two were the men the Boss had sent to check on the situation.
Just as the group stopped in their tracks, someone suddenly looked toward Jones and said,
“Jones!!!
You go in and take a look first!”
