Chapter 220: Unexpected development, Hydra

Tony and Pepper arrived at the main entrance of Stark Tower.

But the situation before them took them by surprise.

Because those people who were originally gathered in front of the main entrance had now vanished.

Whether it was the students, parents, or reporters.

They had all disappeared.

Neither Tony nor Pepper knew what was going on.

So, they decided to land on the ground and ask the security guards.

"Thud!"

After Tony landed, his faceplate opened, revealing his face.

"Mr. Stark."

"Boss."

Before he could even speak, the surrounding security guards greeted him first.

"Hmm."

Tony nodded and then asked, "Have you seen Mr. Superman?"

"Also, how come those people are gone?"

"We saw Mr. Superman." A security guard said, "Mr. Superman came here earlier, and then he took them away." "Took them away?"

Tony was stunned, "How did he take them away?"

"This... I don't know either."

The security guard stammered, only saying, "It's just... Mr. Superman said a few words in the sky, and then he took them away." ???

Tony and Pepper were left bewildered.

Time returned to a few minutes ago.

Karl guessed that someone might be stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

And then he arrived outside Stark Tower.

Seeing Karl, those people immediately became excited.

"Look! Superman is here!"

"It's really him."

"Superman, how dare you hurt my son?"

"Apologize to my son immediately, or I will never let this go!"

"That's right."

"Apologize, and you must compensate us for our economic losses!"

"Apologize! Apologize!"

As soon as Karl arrived, those people started shouting.

There were also reporters asking Karl, "Mr. Superman, what is your view on this incident?" "Mr. Superman."

"May I ask why you, as a superhero, would beat up high school students?" "Mr. Superman..."

These reporters included television reporters, news magazine reporters, and online media reporters.

Seeing Karl appear, they immediately pointed all their cameras at him.

After all, this was the extremely famous Superman.

As long as they filmed him, there would definitely be people watching.

Seeing this scene, Karl did not respond to them.

Instead, he used mind-reading to check what these people were thinking.

Some reporters and students really didn't know anything.

They were simply incited by others and came to seek justice from Karl.

Of course, if they could get some compensation along the way, that would be even better.

But others were not involved at all.

Some were even the ones inciting the students' parents, having ulterior motives from the very beginning.

However.

Karl naturally wouldn't fear the other party.

Even possessing mind-reading, he could directly know what the other party was thinking.

Naturally, Karl also knew who the other party was and what they wanted to do.

As expected, the other party was indeed targeting him.

It was just that Karl hadn't expected the other party's identity.

"You want to ask for my opinion?"

Karl looked at the nearby reporter.

"Of course, I think the whole country is very concerned about this incident."

The reporter nodded, "After all, many people are paying attention to this matter."

Just the people present numbered in the hundreds.

"Alright."

Karl nodded.

"Then, may I ask if you have any explanation for this?"

"Explanation? I have no explanation."

Karl responded, "As for those students, I only slapped them once."

"Only a few people had their legs broken, but that was the punishment they deserved."

"After all, they were not friendly at all to other classmates."

Then, Karl recounted the situation from the day.

"..."

Some students from Midtown High School, upon hearing Karl's words, had shifting eyes.

After all, what Karl said was the truth.

They had indeed been egging things on at the time.

And Karl had only slapped them once.

Although it hurt quite a bit at the time, it was completely fine now.

There wasn't even a single scar left.

Now, there was absolutely no sign of anything unusual.

These students were also studying at Midtown High School.

They were all young people.

They hadn't really wanted to come, but were forced by their parents' threats and inducements.

They had no choice but to come.

Now that Karl was recounting the situation at the time, these young people felt a bit embarrassed.

At that time, they really felt it was exciting and fun.

Looking back on it now, they were no different from accomplices in bullying classmates.

"Is that so?"

The reporter was stunned, not expecting this to be the case.

Looking at the expressions of some of the students again.

He felt that what Karl said might be the truth.

"But, this is not quite the same as what we understood before?"

Saying this, he looked at the student's parent on the side.

"That's not it at all, Superman is completely talking nonsense and shirking responsibility!"

Beside him, a middle-aged man immediately retorted.

Seeing this, Karl looked at the man, "Is that so? Then you tell me what really happened?" "That's right, sir, what is your view on Superman's statement?"

The reporter pointed the microphone at this passerby.

Because Karl was interacting with them, everyone around looked over.

"Ahem."

The middle-aged man cleared his throat and then said, "The truth of the matter is just as Superman said. Those students were completely asking for it."

Beside him, the parents who heard this were stunned.

They didn't expect this middle-aged man to say such things.

Because.

The reason they came here.

Was entirely because this middle-aged man who was speaking had approached them.

The other party promised that as long as they agreed to come to Stark Tower to cause trouble.

There would be a bonus of three hundred dollars.

If they could bring their children, another hundred dollars would be added.

And the middle-aged man also indicated that they could pay a portion of the money in advance.

As long as they agreed to go to Stark Tower to cause trouble, they would immediately receive one hundred dollars.

The parents were initially skeptical but agreed, and didn't expect the other party to actually pay.

So the parents agreed to the act of causing trouble.

Now.

Seeing this middle-aged man who paid the money expose himself, the parents were naturally surprised.

"What?"

The reporter also felt surprised upon hearing this.

Because the claims of these people before were not like this.

Instead, hundreds of people were accusing Superman together.

But now, first the students' performance was a bit off.

And even a parent said something completely opposite to before.

What on earth was going on?

He heard the middle-aged man continue:

"Those students were indeed guilty of their own crimes."

"However."

"Our organization happened to see that news and thought it could be utilized. So we were sent here."

"Your organization?"

The reporter grabbed important information from the middle-aged man's words, "What organization are you from?" The middle-aged man straightened his back upon hearing this.

Then, he slowly said: "Hydra!"
