It’s fine as long as he doesn’t show up to cause trouble again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled soundlessly; he understood what the tycoon was getting at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who would ask Batman to hand someone over? Maybe Tony could, but probably no one else would have the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Batman didn’t kill people, he seemed very good at “dealing with” bad guys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was best to give him Ivan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t refuse, and picked Ivan up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhodes couldn’t help but ask, “Can we consider handing him over to the country?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhodes raised his hands. “Okay, as long as you heard me say it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony was used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t think much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was how bureaucracy worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying or not saying it was a matter of attitude; saying it but not able to do anything was a matter of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had proposed handing Ivan over to the country, but Batman and Iron Man didn’t agree. What could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he said something, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony and Rhodes were good friends, and Tony had a pretty good relationship with Batman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rhodes was a “government official,” while Batman was ultimately a “civilian,” and Tony was in some sense a “government contractor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony could be friends with “government officials” and “civilians,” but it was hard for Batman and Rhodes to get along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a good thing that Rhodes wasn’t an inflexible soldier; he had already made his stance clear earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded at them. “I’ll leave the aftermath to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he picked up the unconscious Whiplash and put away the cape on his back. Flames burst out of his auxiliary wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the blood-red lenses look at him, Rhodes pointed at himself in surprise. “Me again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhodes immediately got it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin had gotten Hammer out, and had made a scene today. Clearly, he didn’t think much of Batman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batman had put him on his list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, this could also be viewed as a general warning from Batman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people might not care about Batman’s warning if they knew, but they would definitely be more cautious in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony rolled his eyes. “Would this have happened if those people weren’t greedy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rhodes smiled wryly. “Tony, they won’t give up until you give them the technology.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tony understood that he had to suffer in silence this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had been careless, and someone else had found an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people weren’t directly targeting him. This method was completely within the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But never doubt how ruthless capitalists could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transparent shadow crawled in and the door immediately closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke asked, “Was that secretary very hard to deal with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke grew interested. “What, did this secretary take a fancy to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina put on her jacket and then climbed into the front passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was intrigued. “So, what happened to her in the end?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Devil Bone Breaker was just that straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened at the venue?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Batman caught Ivan again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selina was lost for words. “Again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the plan to have dinner at May’s place on Saturday didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>",1279,"2026-06-06T03:36:17.913Z",1,"novelbin.me","daa6f2d6b71f03a3d2b0e5cb0e80d17a00971af8fb9a660d1b46c74fd7822161","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1193","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1191",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
