Any weapon that wanted to deal with Batman first had to consider his movement speed, and had to be as effective as it could be in actual combat.
Actually, he didn't really plan to use this special weapon on Batman, but he definitely had to install it and test it.
The weapon had previously been tested with Tony's armor, but Luke's actions today had triggered Jarvis's protection program, and he decisively used this experimental toy to target Luke's vitals.
Even with Luke's danger perception, he felt a faint chill in his crotch.
Clearly, this weapon wasn't weak, and was indeed powerful enough to cripple him.
Therefore, he immediately asked J.A.R.V.I.S. to remove this thing.
Otherwise, how could he have a pleasant conversation if he kept feeling cold from the eagle?
After Tony removed the weapon, Luke said, "There are still parts in the hole in your chest, so I won't do it. You've experienced the light dagger's ability yourself. If Jarvis helps you use it, the recovery speed will be slower. It'll be completely repaired after a few more uses. "
Tony smiled bitterly. "It's just a piece of meat. There's no rush."
He still had lingering fear from Luke's brutal methods just now.
Directly using electromagnetic absorption to forcibly pull out the shrapnel wasn't surgery at all.
At the end of the day, it was the light dagger's heaven-defying recovery speed.
However, the advantage of Luke's technique was that it was much faster than letting someone mess with his heart for more than ten hours. It was over as soon as he felt the pain.
Tony calmed himself down and asked, "You came to me for this?"
Luke said, "Half of it. There's also this." He threw a USB at him.
Tony caught it. "What's it this time?"
Luke said, "Kunlun Qi Refinement Technique. It's a cultivation method from Kunlun, the holy land of the east. It can produce "qi" for attack and protection. "
Tony was confused. "Chi?"
Luke said, "Something like that."
He waved his hand casually, and a tool on the workbench was pushed more than ten centimeters away.
Tony's eyes lit up. "Superpower?"
Luke said, "This is qi. It's similar to superpower … I guess."
Tony asked, "Where did you get it from?"
Luke said, "I stole it from a traitor of the Holy Land of Kunlun. You'd better not show it off, or you'll understand."
Tony: … Life One was stolen by a friend of yours. This time, you stole the Kunlun Qi Refinement Technique?
What about the righteous companions? What happened to the Dark Knight who abhorred evil?
Luke couldn't be bothered with what he was thinking. He simply reminded him, "This thing's significance to Kunlun is similar to the ark reactor's significance to you. If it is leaked out, Kunlun might send people to look for trouble. Remember to keep your head down and get rich. Don't be reckless. "
Tony was silent for a moment. "What do you want?"
As a businessman, he never thought that a person could do anything for another person for no reason.
The only people who could do so much for him without asking for anything in return were his parents.
But Batman wasn't his father. Why would he give so many benefits without asking for anything in return?
Luke said, "I need allies."
Tony frowned. "Are you in trouble?"
"Not yet," said Luke. "But there are some things that I can't handle on my own. I'll let you know when the time comes. It's up to you whether you want to participate or not. I just hope that one day, you won't stand against me. "
Tony frowned even harder. "What do you want?"
Luke chuckled. "Did you investigate the explosion last time?"
Tony nodded. "Of course. Those guys do like to make money by doing nothing. I didn't notice anything unusual."
Luke said, "Two members of the Advanced Joint Research Unit stole 2,400 pounds of explosives from the criminals in advance. You should know what that means, right?"
Tony was stunned. "The Advanced Joint Research Unit? What's that? Jarvis. "
Jarvis said, "Sir, the Advanced Joint Research Unit isn't an official department, but there's an 87% chance that it's a secret research organization led by the Department of Defense."
Tony was speechless.
No wonder Batman had mentioned this organization; many of Stark Industries' allies were in the Department of Defense.
One day, if the Department of Defense asked Tony to cooperate with them in dealing with Batman, he couldn't refuse them once or twice, but could he always refuse?
Although the Department of Defense wouldn't fall out with Stark Industries because of this, Tony definitely couldn't stand on Batman's side. Neutrality was the best choice.
Seeing the tycoon's face, Luke knew that he understood. "I only have one request. Don't interfere, or you understand."
Looking at the flashing blood-red lenses, Tony suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He smiled bitterly. "It's just neutrality. Do you need to specifically warn me?"
Given his friendship with Batman, neutrality was just his bottom line. What he needed to consider was how much he could help Batman.
Luke chuckled. "It's just in passing. Doesn't that solve your problem? "
Tony was lost for words.
A moment later, Luke walked into the private elevator. The doors closed and the elevator descended quickly.
Tony suddenly asked, "Jarvis, where's the information on that research unit?"
Jarvis asked, "Do you need me to show it?"
Tony said, "Yes."
The virtual light screen opened in front of him. Tony scanned through the information and flipped through it casually. His expression was not very good.
According to Jarvis's intelligence, this organization had always been responsible for capturing superhumans, especially superpower criminals.
But there was also a research unit in its name, and the information also showed that it should have research capabilities.
It went without saying what the superhumans were used for.
Now, why did this organization want to deal with Batman?
Tony wasn't an idiot. He knew very well what the authorities were up to, because Stark Industries was also an expert in this.
Batman wasn't targeted because he had broken the law, but because he threatened the safety of some big shots and had considerable benefits on him.
Tony might have complained about the Bat Armor, but the authorities definitely wouldn't have minded.
Wouldn't they be afraid of mass-producing the Bat Armor?
Dozens of soldiers wearing the Bat Armor could easily pose a fatal threat to Tony. The benefits weren't small at all.
After pondering for a moment, Tony gave up on thinking about it.
The Department of Defense was very powerful, but it wasn't a single entity, and Stark Industries didn't have just one or two people in it.
This charcoal head was overthinking things! Tony mumbled to himself, I'm working with the Department of Defense on equal terms. How can I allow them to tell me what to do?
"Jarvis, show me that 'chi' thing," he instructed again.
A moment later, he cursed in the room. "What's this? Is it a wizard's cultivation method … What does it mean to calm down? What does it mean to feel the depths of one's soul? How can one stay calm and feel the soul while exercising? … Bastard! No, I can't calm down. "
After struggling for a while, he decisively gave up. "Jarvis, put this crap away. I'm going to modify the armor."
