Chapter 1192: The Secretary Takes a Beating, and Ivan Arrested Once More

If it wasn’t for the fact that Ivan only wanted to get back at Tony, he would’ve destroyed a lot of New York tonight.

Imprisoning Ivan posed another problem: If Tony kept him around, more people like Justin Hammer would come after him.

After thinking so much, the tycoon actually only needed one or two seconds to make a decision. “You deal with it. It’s fine as long as he doesn’t show up to cause trouble again.”

Luke chuckled soundlessly; he understood what the tycoon was getting at.

The technology for the Batman suit wasn’t much worse than the Iron Man suit; Ivan’s technology in Luke’s hands wouldn’t make any difference.

And who would ask Batman to hand someone over? Maybe Tony could, but probably no one else would have the chance.

Although Batman didn’t kill people, he seemed very good at “dealing with” bad guys.

It was best to give him Ivan.

Luke didn’t refuse, and picked Ivan up.

Rhodes couldn’t help but ask, “Can we consider handing him over to the country?”

As soon as he said that, one person rolled their eyes at him and another glanced at him with red eyes as they scoffed at the same time: “Heh!”

Rhodes raised his hands. “Okay, as long as you heard me say it.”

Tony was used to it.

Luke didn’t think much of it.

This was how bureaucracy worked.

Saying or not saying it was a matter of attitude; saying it but not able to do anything was a matter of strength.

He had proposed handing Ivan over to the country, but Batman and Iron Man didn’t agree. What could he do?

If someone had a way, they could look for Batman to hand Ivan over. If there was anyone who could do it, Rhodes would immediately retire and give that person his position.

As long as he said something, it was enough.

Tony and Rhodes were good friends, and Tony had a pretty good relationship with Batman.

But Rhodes was a “government official,” while Batman was ultimately a “civilian,” and Tony was in some sense a “government contractor.”

Tony could be friends with “government officials” and “civilians,” but it was hard for Batman and Rhodes to get along.

It was a good thing that Rhodes wasn’t an inflexible soldier; he had already made his stance clear earlier.

Luke nodded at them. “I’ll leave the aftermath to you.”

As he spoke, he picked up the unconscious Whiplash and put away the cape on his back. Flames burst out of his auxiliary wings.

He had barely started flying, when he remembered something and said, “I don’t like Justin Hammer. Have him go to prison for a year.”

Seeing the blood-red lenses look at him, Rhodes pointed at himself in surprise. “Me again?”

Luke chuckled. “He broke out the person I apprehended. Does he really think he’s the law? If he thinks he’s above the law, then I don’t need the law to deal with him.”

Rhodes immediately got it.

Justin had gotten Hammer out, and had made a scene today. Clearly, he didn’t think much of Batman.

Batman had put him on his list.

If Justin abided by the law, he should go to prison obediently. If he didn’t, Batman would come knocking on his door; more than a thousand patients with broken bones could testify to this.

Batman wasn’t looking at Tony, but at Rhodes; he wanted Rhodes to use his “semi-official” identity to give Justin a warning so that the guy wouldn’t act so tough.

At the same time, this could also be viewed as a general warning from Batman.

There was more than one person who had tried to grab Ivan from Tony; it was just this idiot Justin who had been egged on to take the lead.

Those people might not care about Batman’s warning if they knew, but they would definitely be more cautious in the future.

At the very least, they wouldn’t be as stupid as Justin. He had invited this pestilence into his home and didn’t control it properly, but caused a backlash instead and made big news.

Watching Batman fly off with Ivan, Rhodes looked back at the mess that was the main exhibition hall. “Your Expo has only been open for a few days…”

Tony rolled his eyes. “Would this have happened if those people weren’t greedy?”

Rhodes smiled wryly. “Tony, they won’t give up until you give them the technology.”

Looking at Tony’s face, he sighed. “Of course I won’t persuade you to hand it over, but there’s no way you can stop the Department of Defense and the military from wanting it, right? They want Ivan, not you.”

Tony understood that he had to suffer in silence this time.

After all, he had been careless, and someone else had found an opportunity.

Those people weren’t directly targeting him. This method was completely within the rules.

Compared with the famous historical incident of a certain financial group blowing up its competitors’ factories to steal the market decades ago, this was much more moderate.

But never doubt how ruthless capitalists could be.

…

Elsewhere, Luke landed not long after he flew out. He found a place to hide before he threw Ivan into Space 2 and the Whiplash armor into Space 1.

After getting rid of the smell and all traces, he put on his stealth suit and found the car which Selina had parked in a hidden corner.

He drove east for a while, and in a certain area with no surveillance under some trees, he slowed down. The back door opened on its own.

A transparent shadow crawled in and the door immediately closed.

Luke asked, “Was that secretary very hard to deal with?”

Selina canceled her stealth mode and assumed a pose as she pressed the recall button, and her uniform quickly disassembled and returned to its original thick laptop form.

“Hehe, not really. I quite like her. She’s pretty good at fighting and says nice things.” She took her jacket out of a box.

Luke grew interested. “What, did this secretary take a fancy to you?”

Selina put on her jacket and then climbed into the front passenger seat.

As she looked for snacks in the food box in the front, she said, “I like how she tested me and then pressed me to the ground so that I couldn’t move. She’s very stubborn and tough, and she can find an opportunity to turn the tables the next moment.”

Luke was intrigued. “So, what happened to her in the end?”

Selina found a bottle of juice and gulped it down in one go. She chuckled and replied, “That sort of little girl – of course I gave her a beating! She’ll probably sleep for two to three days.”

Luke chuckled.

This sort of thing was just a blow to the other party’s pride. It basically didn’t affect the battle, and there wouldn’t be any side effects.

Selina really did find the other party pleasing to the eye; otherwise, she would’ve knocked her out for being a bother and broken her bones.

The Devil Bone Breaker was just that straightforward.

“What happened at the venue?” she asked.

Luke said, “Batman caught Ivan again.”

Selina was lost for words. “Again?”

Luke said, “Let’s go and pick up May and the others. It’s too chaotic here. It seems they haven’t been able to call for a cab yet.”

In the end, Luke and Selina simply drove May and the other two to the parking lot so that they could drive their own car home.

However, the plan to have dinner at May’s place on Saturday didn’t change.
