When he saw Tony, Luke sighed regretfully. "You didn't get beaten up?"
Tony, who was still far away, didn't hear him. He simply gave Luke a "what are you talking about?"
Luke sat down at the bar. "Jarvis, as usual, a cup of coffee. Thanks."
Tony threw away the tools in his hands and walked over while wiping his hands. "Jarvis, bring a pot of coffee over and give me breakfast."
He then sat down next to Luke and went straight to the point. "What's with that Joker?"
Luke blinked. "Hm, a rather strong opponent."
Tony snorted. "Someone can escape from you? That's news. "
First, there were technological villains like Obadiah and Ivan Vanke, then there were quantitative villains like the Experimentals and the Chitauris, and then there was Loki, the "god" second generation. All of them had been caught by Batman.
Now, Batman had just changed into the Dark Knight's armor, and a Joker that he had never heard of had escaped? Sorry, Tony didn't believe in metaphysics.
S.H.I.E.L.D. believed it because they didn't know that Batman was the Dark Knight.
Tony was sure that Nick Fury and Phil wouldn't believe it either, because they also knew that Batman wasn't dead.
Luke smiled.
Unlike the "nice guy smile" of his original self, Bell's smile was full of indifference and calmness.
In other words, it was high and mighty disdain.
For a proud guy like the tycoon, this kind of expression was basically a powerful mockery.
He immediately summoned the holographic screen and projected a video. It was the part where Joker fought the Dark Knight. "Since when did your close-quarters combat become so weak? Also, you didn't use any secondary weapons. That's not like you. "
This time, Luke finally smiled more sincerely. "Oh, what's my habit?"
Tony said, "Once you attack, you don't give the other party any leeway. Every time the other party struggles, they just fall deeper into the trap. Now that Joker actually escaped from you, don't you have anything to say? "
Luke nodded and grabbed the tray that was about to fall again, before he put it on the bar. "Good boy."
Dumbo waved its mechanical arm a few times. It wasn't clear whether it meant "happy" or "you're welcome."
Tony knocked on it impatiently. "Go, stand in the corner for an hour. You're not allowed to come out."
Dumbo shook its mechanical arm again, as if it was saying goodbye to its owner and slid away slowly.
When he turned around, Luke had already poured the coffee into two cups and added milk and sugar to his own cup.
Seeing his behavior, Tony was no longer anxious.
Since this fellow didn't slip away, he had to reveal some inside information to him.
Stirring the coffee in his cup, Luke said, "Let's make a deal. Tell me about the idea I gave you the day before yesterday. Is Ms. Potts happy? "
Tony's face stiffened. He didn't expect someone to jump onto this topic.
Recalling how he had jumped out in an inflatable dinosaur jacket the night before, only to be smashed on the head by Pepper's leather bag, the tycoon was furious.
He could only rejoice that he hadn't listened to a certain someone's suggestion and given a baseball bat as a gift.
Otherwise Pepper might pick it up and hit him.
But the advantage of being beaten was that Pepper's pent-up anger had dissipated quite a bit.
Coupled with the metal rose that she had urgently processed as a gift, the two of them finally slept in his bedroom that night.
Well, he wasn't the one who was forced to sleep in the workshop, nor was he the one who slept alone.
From that point of view, a certain someone's lousy idea didn't seem too lousy.
Thinking quickly, he smiled proudly as if he had everything under control. "Hmph, I don't need it at all."
Luke quietly watched the tycoon's bragging, and had no intention of exposing him at all.
Mental Communication wasn't a direct look at the other party's consciousness, but the general emotional fluctuations and sufficient case analysis were enough to make a rough guess.
So, he knew two important points. First, the tycoon had lied, and had used this "groveling" method.
Second, the tycoon had succeeded, or he wouldn't have felt so lucky as if he had just survived a disaster.
This wasn't because he was actively "spying" on someone else's mental journey, but because Tony's mental fluctuations were really obvious.
He then nodded to show that he accepted Tony's explanation. "You can play with Joker if you have the chance, but he doesn't have a good temper. Take care of yourself."
Noticing Luke's deep and calm gaze suddenly glance down, the tycoon's thighs turned cold, and he couldn't help but close his legs. "Wait, he doesn't like to play dirty, does he?"
Just look at what happened to Loki, and Tony didn't want to become the second victim.
Luke raised an eyebrow and gestured at the image on the virtual screen. "It's true that his close combat skills aren't very useful against me. But against you … hehe. "
Seeing that Tony was about to retort, Luke raised his hand to indicate that the other party shouldn't be in a hurry to speak. "He also has auxiliary weapons, and a lot of them. Let me give you a word of advice: You have to protect yourself with your armor, or the news of "Sexy Iron Man Dancing Online" will definitely make headlines all over the world. "
There was suspicion in Tony's eyes, but he also understood a little. "So? Enemy or … friend? "
He emphasized the word "friend."
Luke understood that Tony was trying to confirm Joker's identity.
A teammate who could be absolutely trusted, an ally who could be trusted to a certain extent, and a temporary partner who could work together for the sake of their own interests. These were three completely different kinds of "friends."
"A passerby," Luke said indifferently after taking a sip of his coffee.
Tony nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Not an enemy, not a friend. Keep your distance. That was Luke's intention.
Luke then changed the topic to S.H.I.E.L.D.
While Tony was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s consultant, he probably didn't know what Nick Fury was planning.
He was really unreliable sometimes. S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't his department, and its collapse wouldn't affect Stark Industries much.
Tony was surprised to hear that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been heavily infiltrated.
But judging from all the intelligence, it really wasn't a low possibility.
Luke also had a reasonable explanation for Joker's strange attitude toward this "murderer": perhaps Joker was just a tool that Luke had found to attract S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention.
So, Tony didn't need to support Joker, nor did he need to cause trouble for Joker.
When a murderer dealt with Hydra, it wouldn't hurt anyone who died.
Sowing discord and sitting back to reap the benefits was a basic operation of capitalists, and wasn't unusual.
Looking at Tony frowning and thinking with dark circles under his eyes, Luke knocked on the table and asked, "Have you been having insomnia recently, or did you work too late with Pepper the day before yesterday?"
Tony was a little lost. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
Luke said, "If you can't sleep, practice the Kunlun Qi Refinement Technique that the bigshot gave you. If you worked too hard with Pepper, then … practice this more. At the very least, it can relieve your psoas strain. "
