As Commissioner John told them their true thoughts, although Dio still had an icy face that seemed to have never melted, the mockery in his eyes faded a little.
Some things are ultimately a matter of stance. Different stances will lead to different angles in looking at the problem.
It is like two armies fighting each other. In order to gain a slight advantage in the overall situation, a lot may be sacrificed, including the lives of some soldiers.
Those in the International Security Council are in important positions, so naturally they have similar thoughts in their minds.
However, from Dio's point of view, he is not a soldier who needs to obey anyone, and he does not have the lofty ideals of sacrificing for irrelevant people, so such an explanation alone cannot satisfy him.
"Now let's ask it another way. If you and your family were all in New York at that time, would you make the same choice without hesitation?"
Dio's question made Commissioner John unable to answer immediately. If this was an interview on a TV station, he would definitely nod without hesitation, and then passionately use his own example to make a lot of exciting and moving oaths.
But now sitting in front of him was a man who was moody, even hostile to him, and as powerful as a monster.
If he really treats the other party as a fool and deceives him, then the end that awaits him will definitely not be a good one.
So after thinking it over again and again, he finally answered somewhat dejectedly: "If time goes back 30 years, no, even 20 years, I will definitely answer without hesitation, 'Yes, that's right, I am willing to sacrifice myself for peace, even if my family is there.' But now my answer is, I can't do it! I will ask someone to rescue me and my family first, and then consider whether it is appropriate to use that kind of weapon."
But just as the mockery in Dio's eyes became more and more serious, he heard him say very firmly: "Of course this is just my selfishness, but if the situation is serious enough that I have to make a choice immediately, I think I will still make the decision at that time. Whether you believe it or not, this is my final realization."
After saying this, he leaned back weakly on his chair, as if saying this made him feel particularly tired.
Although it seemed that this guy was sincere in what he said, Dio did not believe it. He just casually took a drop of cold sweat from his face. With his current understanding of the power of ripples, he no longer needed to lick it with his tongue to distinguish the true from the false. It was enough to use the life magnetic ripples to analyze it.
After getting the answer, Dio suddenly stood up and walked to his side.
“Was my choice really wrong?”
Commissioner John closed his eyes in confusion. He wanted a decent death. Nick Fury's warning to them actually came true. Life was really unpredictable.
As the bone-chilling cold swept through his body, he thought about many things in this short moment, some of which made him extremely proud, and some of which he now regretted...
"Don't mess with me again, or next time it won't be as simple as 'cooling you down'."
Suddenly, as the words fell, the bone-chilling chill began to recede like a wave.
When Commissioner John opened his eyes tremblingly, there was no human figure in front of him. Only an open window and the coldness on his body that had not completely subsided proved that what had just happened was not his hallucination, but a real thing.
He subconsciously took out his cell phone, but hesitated the next second.
The words that man said before he left were still echoing in his ears. After thinking about it, he helplessly threw the phone aside again.
"Am I being warned or threatened?"
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, then prepared to take a hot shower, change into clean clothes, and then think carefully about what attitude he should use to face the Avengers in the future.
. . . . . . . . . .
On the other side, Dio had just come out of Commissioner John's residence when he received a call from Nick Fury.
"You scared me. I thought you were really going to kill him. Your acting was so convincing. I think the guys in the International Security Council will behave themselves this time. But at the same time, they will probably be more wary of you."
"Acting? If you think so, then so be it. As for these people's fear, it has nothing to do with me." Dio was too lazy to explain anything. If the result of his lie detector test had been different, then that guy would have been frozen into an ice sculpture in a second.
He really came here with the intention of killing someone!
It's ridiculous that Nick Fury thought Dio really agreed and just wanted to scare these people, and he also provided intelligence and operational support.
Or did Nick Fury guess this but chose to indulge it
After all, he has disliked these old guys for a long time. Maybe he would be happier if Dio really took action.
But no matter which possibility it is, the current result can be said to barely meet the needs of Dio and the black salted egg.
A few hours later, Dio rushed back to New York, where Thor, Tony and others were waiting for him.
Although we stayed on Earth for a few days to recuperate, it was still time to say goodbye temporarily.
When Dio descended from the sky in a Quinjet, Tony was the first to push up his sunglasses and say, "Hey, I heard you went to cause trouble for some people. Is everything going well?"
"That depends on your understanding of the word 'smoothly'. Maybe my visit as a 'guest' might have some counterproductive effect. I just hope that one of them doesn't suddenly die in the future and the dirty water is thrown on me." After greeting everyone, Dio simply stood next to Tony.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be the first one to suspect you when the time comes."
Dio immediately gave Tony a middle finger, and Tony immediately "politely" gave him a middle finger in return.
"By the way, this is the certification material you requested. Don't worry, the country will provide huge subsidies to help the people of New York City rebuild their homes, and your restaurant will be restored to its original state as much as possible." At this time, Natasha came over and handed Dior a document.
Dio nodded and put it away.
Unfortunately, at the moment of final victory, a giant Leviathan creature happened to land in Chinatown, and the last hope that Dio's parents left for him was shattered!
On the contrary, his Porsche parked in the garage of the rented villa was unharmed, and even the villa itself was intact, which was somewhat unbelievable.
This means that he has not only lost his source of income, but also has to continue to pay rent and repay the car loan...
