Hearing Lukes question, Tony asked, Friday, where is BW382?

Friday: It was just sent to warehouse U05 on the East Coast as part of damage control two days ago, along with a batch of goods.

Send Bruce the coordinates of the warehouse and give him access to the items, Tony instructed, before he asked, What happened?

Luke, however, frowned. Have your warehouse manager go in right away and make sure its still there.

Stumped for a moment, Tony gave the order. Friday, do as he says.

Then, his expression turned solemn. Whats going on?

Luke said, That thing can probably awaken Inhumans, and it seems Werner can completely control them.

He paused for a moment before he continued, You dont have a s.p.a.ce obstruction device on the cargo vehicle, right?

D*mn it, are you talking about Gordon? Tony immediately understood, and his face darkened. All the items stored in U05 are unidentified objects, so we can only use regular cargo vehicles how the h.e.l.l would it have a s.p.a.ce obstruction device?

The s.p.a.ce obstruction device was a very troublesome system that was mainly used to protect specific areas.

It was best used for something the size of a sea carrier.

A small-scale s.p.a.ce obstruction device had yet to be developed for smaller transport vehicles, let alone a portable, miniature version.

Luke didnt stop. As he flew to the U05 warehouse, he explained the matter and his speculation to Tony.

Tony frowned. This is bad, we have to get rid of Gordon.

Luke said, I know.

Spatial abilities were troublesome to begin with, and superhumans with teleportation were even more troublesome.

This was the typical reaction from governments around the world.

As long as a superhuman with teleportation abilities dared to mess around, the governments first choice was guaranteed to be to do their best to kill them without fail.

That was because everybody knew that anyone with this ability would be a disaster if they didnt have a bottom line. No matter how big a loss it might be, they had to be killed.

Why were teleportation superhumans rarely seen by the public? Firstly, they were indeed very rare, and secondly, if they didnt keep a low profile, they would die very quickly.

Gordon had gone unnoticed for so many years because he knew that if anyone felt that he was messing around, he would be blacklisted and Afterlife would be implicated.

Tonys reaction proved it. Ill sort out some experimental equipment that might be useful later. See how you can use it.

Luke hummed in response.

A moment later, the warehouse manager found the box that contained BW382. He opened it and came back with good news the metal block was still there.

Luke decisively told them to wait for him to arrive and not take out the items. It was possible that Werner was just beating the gra.s.s to scare the snake.

There were too many movies like that.

A few minutes later, Luke landed in front of the warehouse. He had all kinds of scanning equipment on, and he was ready to kill the enemy at a moments notice.

When he entered the warehouse and opened the box, nothing happened.

However, when the armor scanned the metal block in the box, Lukes face completely darkened.

He asked casually, Are the two of you the only ones here?

Both workers nodded excitedly. Yes, Mr. Knight.

Although they worked for Iron Man, they were real Bat fans.

They were overjoyed to be able to see the Dark Knight with their own eyes and even answer his questions.

Luke was silent. Looking at their fan behavior, they didnt seem like spies.

He nodded. Take me to the surveillance room and tell me more about your s.h.i.+ft.

The two workers nodded, but suddenly came back to themselves. Um, Mr. Knight, you need Mr. Starks authorization before we can

Luke said, Okay, confirm authorization.

The terminal in the workers hand lit up, and the warehouse manager said solemnly, Mr. Knight has full authorization for this warehouse. You have to comply with any of his requests.

The hearts of the two workers skipped a beat. They knew that something was definitely wrong, or their boss wouldnt have such a grim expression.

Sensing the change in their emotions, Luke comforted them casually. Dont worry, Im just checking some data. It has nothing to do with you.

If you really are the problem, then Tony will deal with you,

he added inwardly.

Luke was someone who always told the truth.

A moment later, Tony arrived in his armor.

After all, this was his warehouse. He was naturally very concerned if something went wrong.

Furthermore, after losing Lokis scepter, he had already boosted and perfected the management system and equipment for this warehouse.

In the end something went missing.

Walking into the surveillance room, he glanced at the alien metal block in the box: It was indeed a d*mn fake.

That was because the thing in front of him was clearly a lump of metal which had no energy fluctuations coming from it.

From Luke and Tonys records, they hadnt been able to take any sort of readings of it, and it gave off unique, minute energy fluctuations.

There was no doubt that someone had switched it out.

At the very beginning, someone had taken it out of s.h.i.+ELDs secret warehouse and sold it on the black market. In the end, it fell into the Bat Squads hands.

Luke studied it for a while, but didnt make any progress, so he tossed it to Tony.

Tony studied it for a while, but didnt make any progress, so he tossed it into the warehouse.

They couldnt be blamed for not paying attention. It was just that there were too many mysterious, unidentified items.

A lot of similar things had been left behind after the Chitauri invasion alone.

For example, there was something that had looked awesome, had sound, light and lightning effects, and had energy fluctuations. In the end, it turned out to be a Chitauri version of an electric heater.

Secondly, after s.h.i.+ELD collapsed, Tony and Luke had each snapped up a bunch of s.h.i.+ELD inventory.

Later, Phil, Natasha, Hawkeye and Nick Fury sold some more to the bigshot for credit points.

Lukes research team only numbered in the hundreds.

Most things still had to be left to Stark Industries research team. They had 10,000 official employees, and a lot of graduate interns.

Luke had stuffed thousands of strange mysterious items with unknown uses into his inventory, and he had studied thousands of them with Tony.

Who the h.e.l.l knew that there would be an Inhuman treasure among them?

However, the improved warehouse system and equipment quickly confirmed that the item had been switched out before it entered the warehouse.

Tonys expression improved slightly.

If Gordon had planned this beforehand, it would indeed have been hard to guard against him.
