He had just entered the alley when he saw that Luke had already opened a manhole cover and was only sticking his head out. "Why don't you run away with me? Or you can wait to be caught and interrogated by the people in those helicopters, Iron Man baby! "
As he spoke, he waved his hand outside the manhole as a goodbye gesture before he closed the manhole cover.
Tony was dumbfounded. "Wang Defa! You're actually going into the sewers? You're telling me to go into the sewers too? "
Unfortunately, Luke was already running through the sewers.
What was the big deal about the sewers? Hadn't he done it so many times? This was the iron will of a real man!
Selina had already sent word.
There had been a large-scale firefight at the Los Angeles County Jail.
The criminals had already broken through the prison's perimeter defense. Dustin and Harrison had both called and asked Luke to go help as soon as possible.
Originally, Luke should have gone over as Batman, which would have made the police more favorable toward him.
Even if he didn't make it friendly, he would at least make the police remain neutral.
In the end, a certain tycoon had suddenly appeared and brazenly brought out his iron toy. Luke really didn't dare go crazy with him.
He wasn't that valuable on his own, but with the Iron Man armor, it would be enough for the various forces to take the risk.
If the two of them ran the prison dungeon together, it would give the departments with ulterior motives more opportunities to mobilize manpower and set up ambushes.
Thus, Luke decisively changed out of his disguise and went over as a detective.
Since he could show his face, he could also openly use a gun to farm experience and credit points in the prison dungeon.
Besides, throwing the Iron Man baby out to distract the helicopters was the best opportunity for Batman to escape.
Luke's AI program wasn't bad, and naturally noticed the small problem that had appeared in the second half of Tony's journey.
It wasn't a big problem for the tycoon to slip away, but it definitely wouldn't be as easy as when he came.
Selling out a teammate? No way. The tycoon wouldn't admit that they were teammates.
What could Luke do? Of course, he could only satisfy the tycoon's wish.
Coming out of the sewers a few blocks away, Luke changed out of his equipment in a safe house, before he rode his bike straight to the prison in the east.
In the air, Flegg, who had been monitoring them, sighed. "Lost him again?"
"Captain, Batman has entered the sewers. There's nothing we can do."
Flegg said, "Follow the new Iron Man first. His armor is more practical."
Team member: "Iron Man is also starting to leave the city. He's speeding up … Uh, we've lost him."
Flegg: "… Fine. Anyone who can hang out with Batman isn't that simple."
A moment later, Tony pulled out his head from the sand and laid down on the beach. "Jarvis, check the propulsion system."
"Propulsion system overloaded, 40% damaged, unable to continue stable flight," Jarvis said.
"That's really good news. Is there any other good news?" Tony helplessly sat up from the beach.
He wasn't as cowardly as Batman.
Even if the matter of the Iron Man Armor was exposed, he was confident that he could fool them.
It was just that Batman slipped away unscathed, but he had a low-altitude crash on the way. This was too terrible.
Once again, he confirmed the reason why that damned Charcoal Head was using an antique armor.
Clearly, Batman's body was far stronger than a normal person's, so he trusted his own body more than a machine that might malfunction.
Tony scoffed at this mentality.
Humans were also extremely sophisticated instruments, which were more prone to damage and malfunction than ordinary machines.
However, he could think about these things slowly when he got home. For now, it was better for him to slip away quickly.
"Another piece of good news is that Supervisor Happy is about to arrive in your car, along with Security Team A. You can leave everything to them." Jarvis's words made Tony heave a sigh of relief.
It was Happy and the others' duty to clean up the tycoon's mess.
Sitting on the beach, Tony looked at the dark sea and mumbled to himself, That Charcoal Head still has some brains.
Luke had reminded him just now that someone wanted to take advantage of the situation, and a certain tycoon didn't want to expose his Iron Man Armor for the time being.
It was a personal treasure that belonged to Tony alone.
He didn't want it to be taken away by anyone, nor did he want a bunch of Iron Man and the like to steal his limelight.
He was Iron Man! Not the Tin Man, who could be mass-produced.
Thinking that, Tony suddenly slapped himself, and his iron palm hit his helmet with a clang. "Damn it, what Tin Man? I'm Iron Man!"
On the other side, Luke rode his bike through the traffic jam. He flashed his badge and got into an SUV on the road outside the city, heading straight for the prison in the east.
The driver looked at Luke in the passenger seat as he drove. "God, what's wrong with Los Angeles? Even a kid like you is a police officer! Are they just going to let you kids face off against gunmen? That's so irresponsible. "
Luke kept smiling. "Mr. Adrian, I was transferred here from another city, and I'm a trained officer. You're wrong about LAPD. "
The driver, Adrian, sighed. "What about your family? They don't object?"
Luke shrugged. "My elders either retired from the army or became police officers, so …"
Lost for words, Adrian nodded. "Fine, then you're pretty suitable for this job."
Luke was amused. "Are you heading east?"
Adrian nodded. "Didn't that professor say that the earthquake will get worse from the east to the west? I just called a friend in San Francisco, but I couldn't get through, so we're thinking of hiding in the east for a few days. "
Luke said, "There was indeed an earthquake in San Francisco. It was only a few minutes after us, and it had a magnitude of 7.8."
Adrian asked, "Really?"
"It's internal information from the police department." Luke chuckled. "Consider it a small perk."
Adrian asked, "Anything else?"
"San Francisco is a lot more chaotic than here. You're right to go east. Stay in a nearby town for a few days and keep an eye out for the news. In a few days at most, Professor Lawrence Hayes from California Institute of Technology should make a prediction, "Luke added.
Adrian was suspicious. "Is this also a perk from the police department?"
Luke wasn't angry. It was normal for him to ask a few times when it concerned his family's safety. "It's not hard for us to look up some internal information. I have to consider my friends in California."
After a brief silence, Adrian said, "Luke, wait … Can you give me your phone number? Well, I don't mean anything by it. I just want to confirm the earthquake in a few days. "
Luke took out an official police card with a smile and put it on the dashboard. "If you really run into any trouble, I can call you if I can help, Mr. Adrian."
