Rhodes was speechless: Isn't he just a character like toilet paper now
Even if the matter is dealt with, it will be thrown away like dirt afterwards.
Tony put his arm around his shoulders and patted him: "Don't think about it, it's better if we can't control it. Otherwise, can we still have an easy life in the future?"
Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
They are unable to have a decisive impact on Batman and seem incompetent.
But at this stage, it should be impossible to find anyone who can influence Batman.
On the contrary, once he and Tony can make Batman change his mind, the best way for anyone who wants to deal with Batman in the future is to figure it out from them.
This is what those big guys are best at.
The easiest way to control someone is to control what he cares about, such as family, career, money, and friends.
Why does Batman scare many bigwigs now? Because he doesn't care about anything, or what he cares about is not a specific person - such as the citizens of New York.
The "victims" created this time using New York citizens should be the group Batman cares about, but... now these people are basically in trouble.
Batman did not give up fighting back just because they were part of the people.
Therefore, Batman cares about the "people" as a whole, and does not treat any one of them specially.
This made the big guys even more terrified.
Just like some people who care about "peace", what they do is completely different from normal people.
Although Batman has always appeared as a protector of the people rather than those "peace-loving" elements, for the big guys, this is more terrifying than "peace-loving" elements.
Because "peaceful" elements can also be used, even by the United States.
Batman has no place to use them at all, and might just pull them out and whip them to death - just like Senator Green who just "committed suicide".
But everyone has different class positions, and no one thinks Batman wouldn't do this.
Don't they also want to make Batman disgraced like that congressman
However, such a direct counterattack against Batman was still somewhat unexpected by the bosses.
Before, Batman’s attitude towards official departments was pretty good, at least he had tacit cooperation with the NYPD and the FBI.
For example, after beating a criminal, he would notify the police and leave the scene, never staying there to embarrass the police.
This time, the bosses' attempt to cross the bottom line resulted in a not-so-good answer.
Batman still sticks to his principles towards these high-ranking figures, and fights back with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, without any fear or concession.
Sure enough, Batman is an outlaw! Rod muttered in his heart.
Tony had already handed over a telescope: "So, this matter actually has nothing to do with us, unless you want to take Batman's place in bad luck. Come, take in some good views, and you'll feel better."
Rhodes took the telescope with a puzzled look on his face: "What for?"
Tony hugged him, turned him slightly, and raised his hand to indicate: "This is the hottest month in New York. Look at the rooftop over there."
Rhode put the telescope in front of his eyes and looked in the direction the young master pointed. In less than two seconds, he exclaimed, "This is so cool. Is this why you bought this building? Next door is the rooftop outdoor swimming pool, and there are a lot of bikini hotties having a party. This feels damn wonderful."
Tony shrugged, "I'm just bored. You know I'm very single-minded now."
Rhodes wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but when he thought about Tony, who had hardly any scandals in the past year or so, and didn't even have a single photo of him being involved in a "suspected scandal", he was speechless.
While looking through binoculars at the cool girls in the rooftop swimming pool a hundred meters away, he casually said, "You are so loyal, shouldn't I get married, have kids, and go home to take care of them?"
Tony stroked his beard and said, "Now that you mention it, you are indeed old enough."
Rhodes put down the telescope and rolled his eyes: "You are still living like a baby, how dare you say I am old?"
Tony shrugged. "I'm young and energetic. You're prematurely aged. How can we compare?"
Rod made the required international hand gestures: "Okay, you arrange it tonight. I want to see hot girls, preferably those in bikinis."
Tony raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to, or do you want those people to know that you have been "bribed" by me?"
Rod: "Both are necessary. Do you really think I'm old? I can make a lot of young girls laugh with a joke."
Tony: "…You mean the joke about carrying a tank, flying to the general's house, and throwing it in front of him?"
Rhodes: "... That's not a joke, okay?"
Tony shrugged, tilted his head and sighed: "It seems that you, an old man, really need some hot girls to make yourself "hot"."
At this point, he paused and said, "In order to make your performance more realistic, I can only reluctantly throw you a grand party."
Rhode glanced at him sideways, revealing the whiteness of a boss's eyes: "Are you sure you're not using my name because you're afraid of what Pepper might say?"
Tony: "If you can't talk, just talk less, then you will definitely be able to become a general."
…
Just as Tony, Rhodes, and many other discerning people had expected, things did not calm down.
A few days later, Congressman Stern was also implicated.
Because photos of Congressman Stern having multiple private meetings with Congressman Greene, who "committed suicide," reappeared on the Internet, and the abducted little girl was clearly visible.
In the photos posted online, the little girl was of course blurred, but the new information received by the FBI task force confirms that it is her.
When Tony saw the news, he suddenly laughed: "Stern is also involved? This is really... good news."
It was Congressman Stern who initially led the effort to force him to hand over the Mark Armor technology. Now Tony thinks he can just sit back and watch
No, at this moment, of course, it is in line with the behavioral pattern of this circle to add insult to injury and trample on Senator Stern.
As for dealing with Batman? That's not what all the bigwigs in America want.
Is anyone who is engaged in technology research and development, network work, or sales worried
Some people are jealous of Batman's armor technology, and for some ulterior motives, they take action against Batman, which has nothing to do with the richest men in the United States.
For many people, Batman is neither profitable nor popular.
But when dealing with certain colleagues or peers, there are huge benefits - for example, there are many people who are jealous of the positions under these two congressmen.
Asking them to do it themselves would be cumbersome and require too many resources.
But the fact that these two were betrayed by Batman was their own problem and had nothing to do with these competitors.
If you are unable to eat your prey and are instead bitten to death, you can only blame yourself for not being strong enough.
No one would keep the positions for the two senators just because they made great efforts in dealing with Batman.
There is no mercy in the world of power.
