Hearing Luke's question, Tony simply asked, "Friday, where's item BW382?"
Friday: "The day before yesterday afternoon, it was just shipped out of the New York City warehouse with a batch of supplies and sent to East Coast damage control warehouse U05."
"Send Bruce the coordinates of the warehouse and give him permission to take the item out," Tony instructed the AI lady before he asked, "What happened?"
Luke, however, frowned. "Have your warehouse manager enter the warehouse immediately and confirm if it's still there."
Stunned for a moment, Tony gave an order. "Friday, do as he says."
Then, his face turned solemn. "What's going on?"
Luke said, "That item should be able to awaken the aliens, and Werner seems to be able to completely control them."
He paused for a moment before he continued, "The vehicle you're using to transport it doesn't have a space blocker installed, right?"
"Damn it, are you talking about that Gordon?" Tony instantly understood, and his face instantly turned grim. "The items sent to Warehouse U05 are all ordinary, unknown mysterious items. Only regular carriers will be used. What the hell is a space blocker?"
A space blocker was a very troublesome system that was mainly used to protect specific areas.
A vehicle that could accommodate it had to be the size of an aircraft carrier.
A miniaturized space blocker that could be placed on a smaller vehicle wasn't very mature yet, let alone a miniaturized space blocker that could be used anywhere.
Luke didn't stop. As he flew to Warehouse U05, he gave Tony the intelligence and speculations.
Tony also frowned. "No, we have to get rid of that Gordon."
Luke said, "I know that."
In fact, spatial abilities were very troublesome to begin with, and teleportation abilities were even more troublesome.
This was a common practice among the authorities around the world.
If a teleportation ability user dared to mess around, the authorities would do everything they could to get rid of them without any conditions.
Everybody knew that a person with such an ability would be a disaster if they didn't have a bottom line, and they had to be killed no matter how great the loss was.
Why did people with teleportation abilities rarely appear in the public eye? For one thing, they were indeed very rare, and for another, they would die very quickly if they didn't keep a low profile.
Gaden had kept a low profile for so many years because he knew that once people felt that he was acting recklessly, he would be blacklisted and even be implicated in his next life.
Tony's reaction also proved this point. "Later, I'll organize some experimental equipment that might be useful. You can decide how to use it."
Luke hummed in response.
A few moments later, the warehouse manager found the box that stored BW382's items in the warehouse. After opening it, they came back with good news — the metal cylinder was still there.
Luke decisively told them to wait for him to arrive, and not to take out the item. Maybe Wernal was just trying to alert them.
This kind of plot was too common in movies.
A few minutes later, Luke landed in front of the warehouse. All kinds of scanning equipment were activated, ready to kill any enemy that might launch a surprise attack.
Even when he entered the warehouse, walked up to the box, opened it, and saw the strange metal cylinder, nothing unusual happened.
But when the armor's scanning system landed on the metal cylinder in the box, Luke's face completely darkened.
He seemed to casually ask, "Only the two of you came?"
The two administrators nodded excitedly. "Yes, Mr. Knight."
Although they were both working for Iron Man, they were solid fans of Batman.
They were overjoyed to be able to see the Dark Knight in person and even answer his questions.
Luke was lost for words. These two didn't look like they were traitors at all, judging from their fanaticism.
He nodded and said, "Take me to the surveillance room. Tell me more about what's going on here."
The two administrators nodded, before they suddenly came back to themselves. "Well, Mr. Knight, you have to have Mr. Stark's authorization before we can …"
Luke said, "Okay, authorization confirmed."
The terminal in the administrator's hand lit up, and the warehouse manager appeared on the screen with a solemn expression. "Mr. Knight has obtained all the authorization for this warehouse. You have to listen to any of his requests."
The two administrators' hearts lurched. They knew that something had to be wrong, or their boss wouldn't have such a grim expression on his face.
Sensing the change in their emotions, Luke comforted them. "Don't worry. I'm just checking some data. It's none of your business."
If it's really your problem, it's Tony who will take care of you. He added inwardly.
Grandpa was such an honest person. He would never lie.
…
A moment later, Tony arrived in his armor.
After all, this was his warehouse. He was naturally concerned that something had gone wrong.
Besides, after Loki's scepter was lost, he had already strengthened and improved the management system and equipment of the damage control warehouse.
In the end … something was missing.
Walking into the surveillance room, he glanced at the strange metal cylinder in the open box. It really was the same thing! It really was a fake.
Because the thing in front of him was a lump of iron that could be seen through at a glance, and didn't have any energy fluctuations.
In Luke and Tony's files, it couldn't be seen through, and it also had a special and minute energy fluctuation.
There was no doubt that someone had switched it.
Someone had taken this metal cylinder out of SHIELD's secret warehouse a long time ago and sold it on the black market, only to be caught by the bat squad.
Luke studied it for a while, but didn't make any progress, so he gave it to Tony.
Tony studied it for a while, but didn't make any progress, so he threw it into the warehouse.
It wasn't their fault that they didn't pay attention to it; there really were too many mysterious things like this with unknown uses.
The Chitauri invasion alone had left behind a lot of similar things.
For example, something with a very cool design, sound and visual effects, and energy fluctuations. In the end, it turned out to be something similar to the Chitauri, which heated up quickly.
After S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed, Tony and Luke each collected another batch of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s inventory.
Later, Phil, Natasha, Hawkeye and Nick Fury sold some more to the bigshots for credit.
There were only a few hundred people in Luke's research team, and they were all specialized.
More things had to be handed over to Stark Industries' research team, which had ten thousand formal employees and a lot of graduate students.
Luke's inventory was stuffed with thousands of strange "mysterious items" with unknown uses, and thousands of them had been "deposited" with Tony for research.
Who knew that there would be an "alien treasure" among them?
It was like a group of ordinary women suddenly appearing, and men would subconsciously think, "Wow, a beauty."
If it was at the three major film festivals, when Emperor Sith, Widowed Sis, Sister Ao, Big Cousin, and Demon King Cate appeared one after another, who would notice that there was a "Big Daddy" in the middle?
But after the last incident with the mole in the warehouse, the improved system and equipment quickly confirmed the fact that the item had been switched before it entered the warehouse.
This made Tony's expression slightly better.
If Gordon had planned to teleport to the shuttle and switch, it would indeed be impossible to guard against.
