Seeing this, Tony was a little confused, but he wasn't in a hurry.
Steve and Bucky were both dead, and Luke clearly had no intention of letting them go, so it didn't matter if he waited.
After dealing with Steve, Luke took out a saber from his inventory and stuffed it into Steve's hand.
Then, he grabbed Steve's hand, went to Bucky's side, and stabbed Bucky in the chest.
Steve: "…"
Tony: "…"
Luke got up and threw out a rope dart to tie Steve up. He then said to Tony, "You can assume that Steve was the one who stabbed you. That way, the fact that he lied to you will be erased."
Steve: "…"
Tony: "…"
They understood the meaning behind Knight's actions.
If Steve had been controlled to kill Tony's parents, it would be Bucky's fault. If Steve had been controlled by Luke to stab Bucky, it would indeed be Steve's doing.
But … the two of them had seen Luke stab Steve with their own eyes. Something wasn't right.
Ignoring the two old men's conflicted expressions, Luke continued, "This stab only injured Bucky's blood vessels. He'll die in about an hour."
Pausing for a moment, he glanced at the two of them. "If Bucky really is dead, then I'll kill him. But whether you want him dead or not, you two can decide for yourselves. "
After that, he crossed his arms and walked to the side, clearly not intending to interfere.
Tony and Steve already fully understood that this was a multiple-choice question.
This hour was enough for Tony to calm down and understand everything.
He could take out Life One and Life Dagger at any time, and saving Bucky would only take a thought.
Steve had "betrayed" Tony for Bucky, and now he had to obtain Tony's forgiveness to save Bucky.
This was double the revenge of killing his parents. Only Tony himself could make a choice.
Even if Bucky was innocent, Luke didn't think he had the right to forgive him on behalf of Tony.
It was like what Old Guo had said: stay away from people who advise you to be magnanimous when you don't know what's going on, lest they implicate you when they're struck by lightning.
Tony and Steve's expressions were conflicted.
Steve wanted to say something, but he was afraid that it would backfire, so he didn't dare speak for a moment.
Tony can wait for Bucky to go to heaven without doing anything now, but there is no sense of revenge in his heart.
The Eldest Young Master wasn't a fool. He had personally witnessed the power of mind control many times over the years.
Intellectually, he knew it was not Bucky's fault.
But just like when someone bumps into a railing while walking, he will beat the railing when it hurts.
Although this was his own fault, the unhappiness in his heart made him have the urge to vent.
Similarly, when Tony saw that Bucky had killed his parents in the video, he couldn't swallow his anger.
Steve's reaction made him feel even more betrayed.
Even if Bucky was right, why didn't he tell him?
Okay, this was another venting question.
Luke knew about it in advance, but he didn't tell Tony.
Because other than the confessions of those people, there was no actual evidence — such as this irrefutable video evidence.
Other than reminding Tony of the pain of losing his parents, there wasn't much meaning to it.
Also, Luke had been secretly tracking down the whereabouts of the people from Winter Soldier Base all these years. He had already caught a lot of them, but he hadn't found the manager of the base who had given the order to assassinate them.
The mastermind of this should be Alexander Pierce, but he died long ago.
He couldn't just tell the Eldest Young Master that he had already killed the mastermind, could he? Tony would be suffocated to death.
Luke still wanted to find the manager of the base who had given the order to tell Tony about it.
At that time, Tony could deal with the people who had killed his parents however he wanted, and he would more or less be able to vent his anger.
But now that Zemo had popped up and exposed the matter, there was no way Luke could cover it up.
A private investigation could be said to be helping, but suppressing the news would be crossing the line.
At most, he would give Tony the Hydra they found, and Tony would have a place to work on what he couldn't find.
This could be considered compensation for Luke's previous concealment.
…
Tony's expression changed, and he wasn't as fierce as when he had blasted Bucky's head earlier.
It was easy to get angry when it came to revenge.
Once he had time to think, a lot of things that he had deliberately ignored couldn't be hidden.
After his initial anger subsided, Tony realized that what he was really angry about wasn't Bucky, but Steve's "betrayal."
Now that Steve had taken the initiative to admit his mistake, he would consider whether or not to forgive him.
However, Steve was also in a dilemma, and didn't dare speak casually.
If it were anyone else, he could have boldly opened his mouth.
But Bucky was really different. Steve had a lot of things to say in his head, but he couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't agitate Tony.
If he spoke too much and Tony fired the cannon, the unconscious Bucky would directly die.
Steve knew that just like how he would definitely stop Tony, Knight would definitely not stop Tony from taking action.
Luke paid attention to their mental fluctuations and found that their emotions were almost ready, so he used his real dream to guide Steve's thoughts.
Steve had wanted to apologize, but after being guided by Luke, he finally couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, Tony. I hid the truth. "
Tony snorted softly and turned his face to the side, refusing to look at him.
Steve stared at him. "I was afraid of hurting you, but … I did have selfish motives. I was afraid that you would kill Bucky. That was my fault."
Tony didn't say anything, but raised his head even higher.
Everything hadn't been going well for him recently.
Although he had put in a lot of effort, it was inevitable that the Avengers would split up, and Tony naturally became impatient.
That was why he couldn't stand Steve's "betrayal."
It could only be said that Zemo had chosen a very good point of entry.
When the Avengers had a huge divergence because of business, he had dug out the deepest "mine" from a personal grudge.
After this, the Avengers were destined to split up – or to be more precise, to split up.
But in essence, the final result was completely different from the destruction of the Avengers that Zemo had hoped for.
In the end, Zemo's revenge was in vain.
Listening to Steve "coax" Tony with a sincere apology, Luke was greatly relieved.
Tony was his friend.
Luke definitely wouldn't use mind control on Tony when it came to avenging his parents.
Tony had to be willing to forgive Steve and let Bucky go.
If Tony really wasn't willing, Luke would really watch Bucky die.
A certain Lu was a person with such personal inclinations.
But based on Luke's understanding of Tony and Steve, they wouldn't go that far.
No matter how tough Steve was, he would definitely give in.
No matter how arrogant Tony was, he would still let Bucky go after a while.
Luke had stabbed Bucky until he was half-dead just to give Steve time to coax Tony.
It turned out that Steve was very good at coaxing people.
In any case, his captain had been a pillar of the American art troupe and the leader of the Howling Commandos back then, and he still had the ability to talk.
However, after a few minutes, Tony broke away from his awkward state of silence and started to argue with him.
A few minutes later, Tony gained the upper hand, and Steve's face was full of guilt.
At that moment, the unhappy tycoon finally took out Life One from the public space and injected it into the unconscious Bucky.
Then, he pulled out the saber from Bucky's chest and sealed the wound with a wound adhesive spray.
Steve heaved a long sigh of relief. The storm that was enough to destroy his friendship with Tony was finally over.
