Tony caught the USB drive. "What's this?"
Luke said, "According to the information I've gathered, some people are experimenting on superhumans."
Tony's heart skipped a beat.
Tony knew that such things definitely existed, but he subconsciously ignored them.
Most of the organizations involved in such experiments weren't unorthodox. In the end, they more or less had the shadow of the American government.
Just like the mercenaries active in the Middle East and South America, many of them did America's dirty work.
If something happened, it would be the private company's fault, but America would never mention the benefits.
Stark Industries had been in the arms business for decades. It was already good enough that they didn't get involved in such projects.
Luke couldn't be bothered to guess what the tycoon was thinking. He simply continued, "I think they'll cause trouble sooner or later. According to Murphy's Law, there will always be supercriminals they create who harm society one day. Be careful. These experimental subjects might not care about your identity as the chairman of the board. "
Tony was stumped for a moment. "Don't you want me to help deal with those people?"
Of course, Luke knew that the tycoon was referring to the people behind the experiments. He chuckled. "Do you know why I never show my face?"
Tony, who had been in the business world for a long time, immediately understood. "That way, you won't have anything to worry about."
Luke nodded. "You have Stark Industries backing you, but it will also make you submit to certain rules. If you break those rules, Stark Industries will no longer be your umbrella. "
Tony was speechless.
He was well aware of that, which was why he dared to touch those terrorists. He wouldn't hesitate to kill a hundred of them.
Dealing with Obadiah, including cutting down the group's arms department, was also Stark Industries' internal affair.
Going against the congressional hearing was a normal move by businessmen to protect their own interests.
But Iron Man wouldn't dare directly blow up those arms companies.
Tony's carefreeness was limited to him.
That was the rule.
If he broke this rule, Stark Industries' protectors and allies would all be the ones who would suppress him.
Stark Industries was both the strongest protection and the strongest restraint that he couldn't break free from.
In the American business world and the government, he had to be a firm rule-maker and protector.
To violate the rules and destroy the rules was to destroy Stark Industries and himself.
This time, Luke didn't continue to attack him. He simply said, "Ordinary people have to do their part, and so do superheroes. If you can hunt down terrorists all over the world, I can also kill some crazy bad guys. Saving the lives of innocent people doesn't matter. "
Tony felt a little awkward.
Batman had a high level of awareness and didn't care about high or low, but he did.
But when the other party said this, the young master realized that he was being a vile person for nothing.
Luke, however, changed the topic. "Why is the wound on your chest still there?"
Tony hesitated for a moment, but he still told the truth. "I've looked for a top expert to examine him. The risk of the surgery is quite high."
Luke had a strange expression on his face. "Are you serious?"
Tony smiled bitterly. "The shrapnel is right next to my heart. If anything goes wrong, my heart will …" He made an exploding gesture with his hand.
Although it was an exaggeration, the meaning behind his words was very clear.
Luke thought for a moment and nodded. "I'll get you something. I'll give it to you tomorrow night. It might be useful for your condition."
Tony was stunned. "You … know about this?"
Luke said, "Ordinary injuries are fine, but I'm not sure about your condition. Hm, when you have a mental problem, you can try it out with me. "
Tony was lost for words. Which eye of yours thinks I have a mental problem? You're the one who likes to dress up in black and dress up as a bat.
Luke couldn't be bothered to look at his expression. He continued, "Keep that thing I'm giving you a secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
Tony asked, "What is it?"
Luke said, "It's a medicine that a friend stole. The person who stole it has a lot of influence in the dark side world."
Tony opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
A dark side force that Batman had defined as "a lot of influence" definitely wouldn't be a small problem.
Although he wasn't afraid of the dark side forces, he wouldn't provoke them.
The main point was that this was stolen! Batman's friend probably wasn't a good person either.
Him? He and Batman were just competitors, so he was a good person. It was as simple as that. That was what the young master told himself.
At that point, Luke looked up at the night sky. "I'm leaving first. Don't follow me."
Tony subconsciously curled his lip. "Who wants to follow you?"
Without looking back, Luke activated his optical camouflage and melted into the night. He only said, "Okay, you can lure those paparazzi away. You're a professional."
Tony looked up at Manhattan in the northeast. Several helicopters were quickly approaching, and he couldn't help but curse, "F * ck! They're really fast. "
He and Batman came over from the other side. The competition and the conversation took about twenty minutes before the paparazzi arrived.
But compared with Batman, who basically didn't interact with paparazzi, Tony was confident that he could deal with them.
After giving an order to Jarvis, the background music rang out, and the Iron Man Armor soared into the sky and flew back to Manhattan.
As long as they can't catch me, it's fine. A certain tycoon was just that direct.
…
Leaving aside Tony, who had left the helicopter in dust, Luke quietly went home. After taking off his armor, he entered the lab.
Of course, the competition just now had been deliberate.
Tony tacitly acknowledged Luke's victory, so the tycoon's list of abilities lit up in the system again.
Luke, who was so engrossed in his research that he realized that the tycoon's abilities had been increasing a little quickly recently.
Unlike the lazy and aimless days before he was kidnapped, the tycoon's energy now revolved around two things: armor and energy.
The reason why he was talking about energy alone was that Stark Industries was already preparing to enter the new energy project.
Compared with the fist-sized reactor on the Iron Man Armor, the large arc reactor that Tony had just designed was much more powerful.
They only needed to build a dozen of them to provide enough electricity for a third of New York.
The so-called large reactor was only relative to the reactor on the Iron Man Armor.
In reality, it took up a small area, was very controllable, and posed little danger. They could be placed in the basement of Stark Towers in New York.
On the other hand, Pepper had also spread the word to the company's board of directors.
After confirming with each other, Luke was sure that Stark Industries' shares were going to soar again.
In any case, Jenny's team had already entered, and was just waiting to make a killing.
Secondly, whether it was Mark 4, Tony's main armor, or Mark 5, which was a portable suitcase, they were very attractive to Luke.
Mark 5, in particular, could be compared with Luke's own portable armor to create an even more advanced product.
