Rhode was speechless. Wasn't he just a toilet paper character now?!
Even if he handled this matter well, he would still be thrown away like filth after the matter was over.
Tony put his arm around his shoulder and patted him. "Don't think about it. It's best if we can't do anything about it. Otherwise, how can we have an easy life in the future? "
Rhode was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.
They couldn't have a decisive impact on Batman, and seemed incompetent.
But at this stage, there shouldn't be anyone who could influence Batman.
On the contrary, once he and Tony could make Batman change his mind, the best way for anyone who wanted to deal with Batman in the future would be to start with them.
That was what the big shots were best at.
The easiest way to control someone was to control what they cared about, such as family, career, money, and friends.
Why did Batman terrify so many big shots now? Because he didn't care about anything, or rather, what he cared about wasn't a specific person, such as the citizens of New York.
The "victims" created by using the citizens of New York this time should have been the group that Batman cared about, but in the end … these people were basically out of luck now.
Batman didn't give up fighting back just because they were a member of the people.
So, Batman cared about the "people" as a whole, and didn't treat any one of them specially.
This made the big shots even more afraid.
Just like some people who cared about "peace," what they did was completely different from normal people.
Although Batman had always appeared as a protector of the people, and not as a "peace-loving" person, to the big shots, he was even scarier than the "peace-loving" people.
Because the "peace-loving" people could also be used, and could even be used by the United States.
Batman, on the other hand, didn't have anything to use at all. He might pull them out and whip them to death, just like Senator Green, who had just "committed suicide."
But everyone was in a different class, and no one thought that Batman wouldn't do that.
Didn't they want to ruin Batman's reputation like that congressman?
But such a direct counterattack from Batman was still beyond the bigshots' expectations.
Previously, Batman's attitude toward the official departments was pretty good. At least he had a tacit understanding with NYPD and the FBI.
For example, after beating up a criminal, he would inform the police and leave the scene. He never stayed at the scene to make things difficult for the police.
This time, the big shots' bottom-line probing had resulted in a rather unpleasant answer.
Batman still maintained his principles when it came to high and mighty figures like them. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. He didn't have any fear or compromise.
Sure enough, Batman was a madman outside the law! Rode muttered in his heart.
Tony had already given him a pair of binoculars. "So, this actually has nothing to do with us, unless you want to take Batman's place. Come, look at the scenery. You'll be in a better mood. "
Rode took the binoculars with a puzzled look on his face. "Why?"
Tony hugged him and turned him slightly. He raised his hand and said, "It's the hottest month in New York right now. Look at the roof over there."
Lou De put the binoculars in front of his eyes and looked in the direction that the young master was pointing at. In less than two seconds, he exclaimed, "This is so cool. You bought this building because of this, right? There's an open-air swimming pool on the rooftop next door, and there's a bunch of hot girls in bikinis having a party. This feeling is so damn wonderful. "
Tony shrugged. "I'm just bored. You know I'm very single-minded right now."
Rode wanted to mock him, but when he thought about how Tony hadn't had any scandals in the past year, and didn't even have a "suspected scandal" photo, he was speechless.
Looking at the hot girls in the swimming pool on the rooftop a hundred meters away with the binoculars, he said casually, "You're already single-minded. Shouldn't I get married and have kids?"
Tony, however, stroked his beard. "Now that you mention it, you're indeed old enough."
Rode put down the binoculars and rolled his eyes. "You're still living like a baby, and you're calling me old?"
Tony shrugged. "This is called youthful vigor. You're prematurely old. How can you compare?"
Rode made the obligatory international gesture. "Sure. You arrange it tonight. I want to see hot girls in bikinis."
Tony raised an eyebrow. "Do you really want to, or do you want those people to know that you've been" bought "by me?"
Rode said, "Both. Do you really think I'm old? I can make a lot of girls laugh if I tell a joke. "
Tony: "… Are you talking about the joke about flying a tank to the general's house and throwing it in front of him?"
Rode: "… That's not a joke, okay?"
Tony shrugged and tilted his head with a sigh. "It seems that an old man like you really needs a little hot girls to 'heat up' yourself."
At this point, he paused. "In order to make your acting more realistic, I can only reluctantly give you a grand banquet."
Rode glanced at him and showed the whites of his eyes. "Are you sure you're not using my name because you're afraid that Pepper will say something?"
Tony: "If you don't know how to talk, then talk less. You can definitely be a general that way."
…
As Tony, Rode, and many other people expected, things didn't subside.
A few days later, Senator Stern was also implicated.
That was because photos of Senator Stern and Senator Green, who had "committed suicide," appeared on the Internet again, and one of them was the little girl who had been abducted and sold.
Naturally, the little girl had been censored in the photos, but the new information received by the FBI confirmed that it was her.
When Tony saw the news, he suddenly laughed. "Stern is also involved? That's really … good news. "
It was because of Senator Stern that Congress had tried to force him to hand over the Mark Warframe technology. Now, Tony felt that he could stand by and do nothing?
No, at a time like this, of course he would kick Senator Stern when he was down. That was in line with the behavior of this circle.
As for dealing with Batman? That wasn't what all the big shots in America wanted.
Who would be worried about those who were doing research and development, networking, and sales?
Some people were envious of Batman's warframe technology, and for some unspeakable reason, dealing with Batman didn't have much to do with the rich and powerful in America.
For many people, dealing with Batman was neither profitable nor beneficial.
But dealing with certain peers or colleagues was a huge advantage — for example, there were many people who coveted the seats under these two senators.
It would be troublesome and require too many resources for them to do it themselves.
But if these two were tricked by Batman, that was their own problem, and had nothing to do with these competitors.
If they couldn't eat their prey and were bitten to death instead, they could only blame themselves for not being strong enough.
No one would leave the seats for these two senators just because they played a big role in dealing with Batman.
There was no mercy in the world of power.
