Chapter 1285: The Little Detective and Two Good Citizens Who Upheld Justice
The fierce-looking criminals in the vault started shooting.
Tony’s eyes glowed as he unleashed his own firepower.
He had tasers, nets, grappling hooks, sedatives, and infrasonic weapons on this Sneaky suit.
With Jarvis’s help, these weapons were fired methodically.
He wasn’t as restrained compared with if he had been wearing Mark 6; if that were the case, he would have to worry about a missile blowing up the entire vault and the building above collapsing.
He also experienced what it was like to fight like Batman.
Lightly, flawlessly and smoothly, with everything accounted for.
To use women as a metaphor, whenever he saw a beauty in the past, he would pursue them right away. Whether it was his wealth or power, these things were like the weight of a mountain, and most girls would buckle under it.
Now, he was more restrained and didn’t have to go all out. He only needed to say a few witty words, and women would fall for him.
He was already tired of the first method, while he was using the second one for the first time, and it was utterly novel.
It wasn’t until he heard Luke’s words that Tony broke away from this new sensation and finally noticed a woman in the vault.
This was the only woman among all the criminals, Katya.
She was Targo’s woman, who supposedly had been blown up; clearly, she was still alive and kicking.
It seemed that the FBI and Homeland Security’s intelligence wasn’t very reliable.
Given Katya’s identity, even if she didn’t have real power like Pepper, she would at least know most of the secrets of this operation.
It was hard for a man to hide everything from his woman.
The woman was very smart. She took out her gun and ran out as soon as the battle started. She had no intention of fighting Tony.
But with Luke’s reminder, Tony naturally targeted her.
The tycoon fired a taser, and Katia collapsed.
After successfully taking down the criminals in the vault, Tony wasn’t interested in continuing to fight them. He simply stood there and let Jarvis handle things.
Jarvis locked onto multiple targets in a second. Two rows of tranquilizer launchers popped out of the shoulders of the armor, and the muzzles fired one after another.
Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!
A series of hisses rang out, and the dozen or so criminals were all shot and fell unconscious.
Tony then grabbed Simon and Katya, who were both still twitching, and asked, “Is it done outside? I’m bringing Simon and Katya out.”
Batman: “Come out in ten seconds.”
Even as Tony let Batman know that he had caught the targets, the image of the battle outside was already being projected in front of him.
In the end, the protagonist he had imagined, Batman, was hiding in a corner and interrogating criminals.
The detective whom Tony thought would take down stragglers at most had gone out with guns blazing, and the subway station was filled with the bodies of the criminals. He was the main force in killing them.
Tony was silent for a moment, before he finally said, “Fine, this guy is still as ruthless as ever.”
That being said, it wasn’t as if he was concerned.
When he dealt with terrorists, he often blasted them with a few missiles.
As a detective, it wasn’t strange for Luke to kill a few criminals with his guns. It wasn’t like Batman cared!
That was also worth pondering; Batman actually didn’t care that Luke had killed the criminals.
This was a superhero who was known to not kill anyone, but he didn’t respond to the detective killing dozens of criminals. He truly didn’t care!
Tony pulled up the video of the battle just now. Batman didn’t move at all from beginning to end, and didn’t stop the young detective at all.
As he was thinking that, the gunfire in the subway station stopped.
As he pretended to reload, Luke walked out and headed straight for the tycoon. “Mr. Stark, why are you here? Why have you apprehended two people?”
Stunned, Tony was about to say something, when he suddenly came back to himself. Wait! This detective was from NYPD HQ.
And the Detective Bureau was at the center of the serial explosions since Simon had chosen to contact them at the very beginning, and was even playing a “game” with someone from the Detective Bureau.
From a lawful point of view, this young detective was absolutely within his right to step in.
Conversely, Tony and Batman didn’t have any law enforcement power.
The two of them could only be considered… two good citizens upholding justice?
However, the tycoon had clashed with Congress before, and didn’t care about NYPD.
If it were anyone else from NYPD, he would’ve immediately said, “None of your business.”
It was just that he still owed this young detective a favor, and couldn’t act so pretentious.
But before he could say anything, Luke nodded with a look of sudden understanding. “I get it. You and Mr. Batman knew about the threat these terrorists posed, and came to help, right? On behalf of the citizens of New York, thank you.”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
Tony was still in a daze. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, and they shook briefly. Then, Luke walked over to Batman.
The tycoon couldn’t help but look down at his hand.?Huh, he actually took the initiative to help me think of a response? This kid has a bright future.
Thinking that, he picked up the two individuals and followed Luke, but something didn’t feel right somehow.
After some thought, he couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, you’re just a minor detective, aren’t you? Why do you sound like the New York mayor? Since when do you represent the citizens of New York?”
Luke turned around and smiled politely. “Mr. Stark, you solved this case. Shouldn’t the citizens thank you?”
Tony suddenly felt it was interesting. “But why are you representing them?”
Pondering for a moment, Luke said, “Because you’re too busy, and probably don’t have time to deal with the petty masses; so, I’m thanking you on their behalf beforehand.”
Tony was suddenly lost for words. He indeed wasn’t that free.
Besides, no matter how many people Batman saved, he had never run out for acknowledgment. Conversely, this was what made him popular.
Tony wasn’t stupid. He knew that Batman was doing the right thing. In any case, the media and word of mouth would help spread the news of what they had done.
The clone turned his head. “Enough chatter. Neither one of these people were involved in the delivery of that 2,400-pound ‘big surprise.’ Targo said he just made the bomb, and Simon was the one who placed it. According to the original plan, it should be at Chester Arthur Government School.”
Tony and Luke spoke at the same time. “I’ll have someone check it out right away.”
“I’ll inform my colleagues immediately.”
Then, they looked at each other.
His clone simply nodded. “Whichever is fine. I’ll interrogate these two first.”
As he spoke, he took the man and woman from Tony’s hands and continued interrogating them.
