However, the screen on the stage, which had been broken into several pieces by Ivan the Mourning Whip that night, had been replaced with a new one. It no longer showed Stark Industries' logo, but Hammer Industries.
As the light and shadow changed, the music played. Under a bright light, Justin Hammer, the president of the Hammer Company, danced from backstage to the podium, singing and dancing.
May, who was looking at the podium, happened to spit out a mouthful of ice wine, which she sprayed onto Ben's face.
Ben: (̄ ﹏ ̄)
Luke and Selina: ⊙ _ ⊙?
May was a little flustered. "Oh, I'm sorry, I really … haha, I couldn't help it."
Selina considerately gave May a bunch of tissues to wipe Ben's face.
She wiped the wine off May with a tissue and said, "Actually, I wanted to laugh too, but you beat me to it."
May, who was wiping her husband's face, spat out the last bit of wine in her mouth. Ben was unlucky again.
Ben: (̄ _ ̄)
Luke and Selina: (̄ _ ̄)!
May didn't know why she suddenly wanted to laugh.
Perhaps it was Justin's flirtatious dance that touched a certain part of her nerves that made her laugh, causing her laughing threshold to decrease rapidly.
Even if what Selina said wasn't funny, she still couldn't help it.
Luke and Ben looked at each other helplessly and had nothing to say.
They only thought that Justin, who came out with his rustic dance steps, was funny, but they couldn't laugh like this. They could only lament that a woman's sense of humor was too different from theirs.
On the stage, Justin was already bragging about his new exhibit, "Iron Soldiers."
With his exaggerated movements and loud cheers, like a host welcoming a contestant on stage, the ground around him opened up one after another, and four groups of Iron Soldiers, which were named Sea, Land, Air, and Marine Corps, rose up.
Luke paused in the middle of his drink and frowned. What was that? It did look a little like Iron Man. No wonder Peter said he wanted to see Iron Man. But on a closer look, the difference was still very obvious.
Hammer seemed to be talking about remote-controlled Iron Soldiers, so this thing could be controlled remotely?
Thinking for a moment, he took out his fake phone and sent Tony a message on Batman's special channel. "Did you leak your technology to Hammer's company?"
Tony's reply came in less than five seconds. "That's impossible. He's an idiot with the brain capacity of a chimpanzee. I put the blueprint in front of him, and he wouldn't be able to see the mistakes even if he died."
Luke chuckled. Justin didn't come from a technical background. He was a typical capitalist, and it was only natural that he didn't know about technical blueprints.
At that moment, Justin said, "Now, let's welcome our Iron Patriot."
As he spoke, a set of silver-gray steel armor slowly rose from the open floor of the booth and appeared on the platform in front of Hammer, exactly the same position as when Tony landed the last time.
The visor opened, revealing the face of a non-chieftain.
Stumped for a moment, Luke sent another message to Tony. "The armor that Colonel Rhodes is wearing is yours now, right?"
This time, Tony replied immediately, "I gave him that set."
Luke narrowed his eyes. "Don't tell me Justin created something similar with your armor?"
Tony: "No matter how smart a chimpanzee is, can it compare to a human?"
Looking at a certain chimpanzee who was wearing a silver-gray suit and looking like a successful person, Luke couldn't help but shake his head. "Not necessarily. Are you sure no one can copy your armor? That Russian should be able to do it. "
This time, Tony didn't reply immediately.
Looking at the commotion on the stage, Luke suddenly had a bad feeling.
At that moment, Tony replied, "I'm on my way. I'll be there in two minutes at most."
Luke frowned and coughed to attract Selina's attention. He then quickly gestured with his hands.
With a solemn expression, she picked up little Peter, who was playing with Gold Nugget, and grabbed May's hand. "Let's go. There's an emergency here. I'll send you out first. Ben, follow me. Don't say anything. Let's go straight out. "
As she spoke, she had already pulled May a few steps away.
It wasn't until then that May and Ben realized what was going on.
But the two of them still trusted Selina.
Back in Los Angeles, it was Luke and Selina who had rescued May, who had gone to visit her family, from gunpoint.
Even now, May still remembered the brutality of those criminals. Naturally, she wouldn't forget how quickly Luke and Selina had killed them.
Also, this was NYPD's home ground, and these two were insiders.
May subconsciously looked at Luke, who wasn't far away, only to see that he was calmly looking at something on his phone.
As if sensing her gaze, he raised his head with a smile and pointed outside, indicating for her to leave quickly.
May quickened her pace and comforted the confused little Peter. She then said in a low voice, "Let me carry him. You go help Luke?"
She didn't want Selina to delay her work to send them off.
Selina, however, didn't hand little Peter over to her. Instead, she held May's arm and jogged with her. "It'll only take me two minutes at most. Did you drive? "
"Yes, in the parking lot outside the venue," Ben immediately replied.
Selina frowned.
That parking lot wasn't small. It was possible that they wouldn't be able to find a car in ten to twenty minutes.
She said, "I'll drive you to the fast food restaurant two blocks away. See if you can get a taxi there. We'll let you know when we're sure everything is fine. Don't come back for the car yourself. "
On the other side, Selina quickly led May and her family out of the main exhibition hall.
Luke, on the other hand, quickly came down and said to Gold Nugget, "Follow Selina. Don't leave her."
Gold Nugget understood that he was afraid that Selina would encounter a large-scale explosion.
With it around, at least Selina's life wouldn't be in danger.
With a bark, the dog ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Luke also left the main exhibition hall and quickly walked to the other side.
At that moment, Tony sent another message on his fake phone. "Ivan Vanke was rescued a few days ago. It was probably Hammer. Ivan is calling me from near the venue right now. He says he's going to take revenge. "
Luke's bad feeling was confirmed: there was indeed something wrong with Hammer.
He immediately sent a message back. "Got it. I'll head over right away."
The tycoon might have been investigating Ivan's whereabouts, and might be on his way here, which was why it was too late to reply to Luke.
Luke knew that the tsundere wouldn't ask Batman for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
Saying that Ivan had been robbed by Hammer was already the limit of Tony's shamelessness.
Thinking that, he had already disappeared into the darkness, and a moment later, a transparent shadow glided toward the main exhibition hall.
