As for why the Lord Man wanted to kill Tony Stark, the reason was actually very simple. If I had to put it in a very cheesy way, it would be for money.
Yes, it was for money. Sometimes, there was no profound reason for villains to be enemies with Superheroes. Not everyone had a paranoid but self-justifiable value concept like Magneto, and then used this concept to unite a group of like-minded villains, and then everyone happily overthrew the world together.
As a person who wanted to restore the monarchy and subvert the China regime, the Lord Man and the Spear Game have been fighting for decades. Because of the huge pressure from the Lord Man and the Ten Rings Gang, the Mutants and other awakened people in China were all of great value.
Because these people were of great value, and in countless heroic battles, they showed their loyalty to the country and its people by sacrificing their lives.
Therefore, the situation of the Mutants in China was much better than in other countries. Of course, this was at the cost of their lives. To enjoy rights, you have to bear obligations. The principle of equivalent exchange is everywhere in this world.
Because a considerable number of Mutant warriors died on the front line against terrorist organizations, this group was taken seriously in China. People with no problems in their brains knew who was protecting them.
Therefore, the relationship between the Mutants and ordinary people became more and more harmonious. Although there were social problems caused by the Mutants out of control in China, these small problems were not worth mentioning because of the interference of external pressure.
When the whole society did not discriminate against the Mutants, more and more Mutants awakened in a relaxed environment and joined the Spear Game team.
They used their own way to fight against the Ten Rings Gang, causing the Lord Man's power in China to continue to fade, and finally, he could only retreat to a few border areas.
The Lord Man once wanted to provoke the relationship between the Mutants and the government in China and almost succeeded. Because of a plan to assassinate a leader, it almost triggered a comprehensive purge in the Spear Game.
Fortunately, the Deification team thwarted his plot. After that, China introduced stricter immigration and naturalization screening standards.
Currently, China issued less than 300 resident permits to foreigners in China every year, and the examination of Mutants was even stricter. Who knew which force these Mutants came from? Therefore, China accepted no more than five foreign mutants in a year, and most of the time, they did not accept any at all.
Therefore, China's Mutants policy cannot affect other countries, and American Mutants cannot immigrate to China.
As the Lord Man kept retreating in China, he lost a large number of resources and channels.
After all, what the Lord Man wanted to do was to overthrow China's regime and ascend the throne as the Emperor. And if they wanted to do this in an era of peace, they could not lack manpower, and they could not lack money.
Even though Sir Man was very strong, if he didn't have a single soldier under him, how could he rule a huge territory?
There was no need to mention the lack of money. Recruiting soldiers and warriors required money, right? If they were in the business of being beheaded, who would work with them without a high enough salary? To maintain the morale of a group of terrorists, so that they would not collapse before the battle even started.
This required a lot of money, because they needed enough alcohol, food, and women to maintain the morale of this group of people. And all of this cost money!
Then, they had to arm and train these guys. Modern warfare was not like 300 years ago, where soldiers could be sent to the battlefield with leather armor and a spear.
Modern warfare had higher and higher requirements for individual equipment of soldiers. There were all kinds of command and communication devices, guns, and bulletproof vests and helmets. If they wanted to build a heavy armor regiment, they would need to spend even more money.
And the daily maintenance of the army was also an astronomical figure.
Simply put, without money, the Lord Man would soon become a commander without an army. Modern warfare was fought with money and supplies. Without enough resources, how could you conquer a country with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers? What a joke!
After continuously losing the resource channels in China, the Lord Man turned his attention to the Middle East and Central Asia, which were at war.
It was not without reason that wars broke out in this place all year round. The so-called conflict of religion and belief was only one factor in the chaos here, and it was not the most important one.
The real reason for the chaos in this land was the liquid black gold-oil buried under this land!
As an indispensable energy fuel for mankind to enter the modern era, the burning of oil drove mankind to prosperity for nearly a hundred years. In the past hundred years, mankind had made more progress and achievements than the sum of the past thousands of years.
It could be said that without oil fuel, human civilization would go back hundreds of years. For any interested party, what flowed under this land was not simple oil, but naked cash!
For the Lord Man, who had lost the resources in China, this was the best place to replenish his funds.
Because Central Asia and the Middle East were chaotic enough, the Ten Rings Gang could use various local armed forces as cover. Through various methods, the Lord Man set up some companies on the surface to sell the oil mined from the Middle East and Central Asia.
This income could be said to be quite generous, even exceeding the previous income in China. Especially in the past decade, when international oil prices began to soar, the Lord Man received enough financial support.
With the money, the Ten Rings Gang once again stirred up trouble in China, making the Spear Game tired of dealing with them. Because of the money, the Lord Man once again saw the hope of establishing an empire.
His men disguised themselves as various armed forces and invaded various oil production areas in Central Asia. After the Americans could not stand the quagmire of war in the Middle East and Central Asia and began to withdraw their troops from this area, the Ten Rings Gang developed to a state of heyday.
This made the Lord Man feel that God still cared for him.
Until a press conference at the beginning of this year, the Lord Man was full of confidence. After this press conference, the Lord Man found that the situation in the world had taken a sharp turn for the worse.
This press conference was Tony's new energy press conference. He announced a new energy source that would completely replace the traditional petrochemical energy source. This caused the international oil price to plummet. At this time, the profits of major oil producers (including the oil factories under the Lord Man) could still be maintained.
The real fatal blow came from the Moon's helium-3 mining plan. When this plan was announced, the entire international oil market instantly collapsed. Oil futures were a game for the rich and countries.
These people were the first to obtain all kinds of information, especially the five permanent members of the United Nations. Before Tony announced the helium-3 plan, he had already discussed it with them.
Most of the leaders of these giants were not idiots. Even if they were not smart enough, they still had a think tank behind them! At first, they blocked the news.
Then they gradually began to withdraw their funds from oil futures. When the helium-3 plan was announced, everyone realized that these superpowers had given up on investing in oil energy.
The United States' funds were used to build the infrastructure needed for new energy sources. The United Kingdom, France, and Russia launched new space programs. China invested all its money in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, breaking through the technical bottleneck of the Suiren I controllable nuclear fusion reactor and successfully igniting it.
Everyone was planning for new energy sources. The traditional petrochemical energy seemed to be abandoned by everyone in an instant. In fact, this was the plan of the five permanent members of the United Nations. As long as Tony's plan succeeded. Five years later, the five permanent members of the United Nations could get rid of their dependence on oil from the Middle East.
Because of the actions of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the international oil futures market was deeply stimulated. The price of oil continued to fall. Especially in modern times, the time for the first batch of helium-3 to be shipped back was getting closer and closer.
The global oil market was looking down on them. No one thought that they had a future. How could the Lord Man, who relied on the oil trade to maintain the Ten Rings gang, take this lying down? Especially when he felt that he was about to succeed, someone suddenly stabbed him in the back.
This was like encountering three players with low HP in a team battle. You were about to make a big move to take all the opponents' heads, but in the end, you were controlled and killed. How could you take this lying down? That was how the Lord Man felt now.
