Are we ready to sweat, buddy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jarvis said, “Please drink plenty of water, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.” Tony’s smile wasn’t big, but it was relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked toward the external platform, the sides of the pathway opened up and mechanical arms rose to quickly and accurately place parts of Mark 6 on his body. By the time Tony stepped onto the round platform, he was already suited up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames spurted out of the arms and legs of the armor, and Mark 6 flew up into the night sky in a huge arc toward Malibu Beach in Los Angeles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Luke was amused. The tycoon’s proud and stubborn personality wasn’t just for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trusted Batman and had personally tested Life 1, but he was still unwilling to honestly admit his fear of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke personally saying that he was afraid of death didn’t make the tycoon change his mind on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was sure that after tonight, Tony would definitely think more seriously about treating his chest injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Life 1 or “superpowers,” including the claim that Batman was also afraid of death, these were ultimately just bargaining chips to increase Tony’s courage to heal himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t think he was being too good to the tycoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now had almost a hundred billion in assets, all thanks to Tony’s technology gift pack and the shares in Stark Industries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One always had to be a little more sincere as a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tonight’s conversation, the alias that he had been envisaging for a long time had finally come to fruition with Tony — a “friend” who could sell Batman many amazing goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alias could pull all his allies together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key figure in this alliance wasn’t Batman, but the “mysterious businessman” who provided the goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batman could be the “spiritual” leader, but he couldn’t really belong to any team, nor could he be responsible for other people’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This “mysterious businessman” didn’t matter. He could be Batman’s loyal friend, patron, teammate, and laundering partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that Batman couldn’t talk about could be done by this businessman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the whole of America knew that businessmen could be shameless. The more successful they were, the more shameless they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luke pondered this, he entered the sewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he changed into his V outfit and went to Damon and Mindy’s house in New Jersey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also sent a message first. When he reached the door, he knocked lightly twice, three times, and three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the door opened. Mindy opened her eyes wide as she looked at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she felt a faint breeze, and the door was closed by an invisible hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy jumped several meters away and warily touched the hilt of the butterfly knife at her waist as she looked at the transparent and twisted air at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, like a chameleon switching colors, the transparent and twisted shadow turned into a man in a Zorro hat, a black cape, and a smiling mask in three seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, that’s so cool.” Mindy gaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found it cool to watch the air turn into a living person up close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled and nodded at the little girl. He then greeted Damon in the living room. “Long time no see, Damon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon was much better than his daughter. He remained calm in the face of the appearance of a living person out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he finally pulled his hand and the MP7 which he was holding out from under the arm of the couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting the gun on the table, he said, “You’re still as cautious as ever, V.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re no less vigilant than I am. Not bad.” Luke walked over with a smile and picked up the MP7. He looked at it and nodded, then shook his head. “These adjustments are very good, but the quality of the gun is too ordinary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon was stunned. “This… is enough for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke chuckled. “Damon, have you seen the news?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon nodded and was about to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy, on the other hand, had already slipped over to sit next to Luke. She jumped up when she heard that. “Batman, you mean Batman!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded. “That’s right. But you forgot to mention Iron Man and Whiplash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy said with starry eyes, “But I still like Batman the most. Tony Stark is too flashy and cheap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “…Let’s talk about their equipment first, shall we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy scratched her head and apologized in embarrassment. “Sorry, I was too excited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “It’s fine. Your father is very calm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon was helpless. He wasn’t a fan of celebrities… Fine, he actually felt that Batman was more handsome, but he couldn’t say that to Mindy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daughter had already suspected that he was imitating Batman last time. If he said something again, wouldn’t that be confirming that her father was an old fan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke finally got down to business. “Let’s talk about Whiplash. Do you have any weapons you can use against him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Damon and Mindy frowned and shook their heads solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy was straightforward. “It’s impossible. I saw videos of his battle with Iron Man. With that second complete set of armor in particular, ordinary firearms probably won’t work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke nodded. “That’s right. I can tell you that even a 30MM machine gun and special armor-piercing bullets will only be able to disrupt his movements. It’s very hard to break through his defense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whiplash’s second suit was twice as thick as the Mark’s. It was heavy, bear-like armor. Coupled with the electromagnetic plasma whips, it was ridiculously sturdy against conventional firearms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mindy suddenly clenched one fist and slammed it into her open palm. “Got it. It seems that I still need to practice the rope dart technique. That way, I can disrupt the whips, like Batman, and tie him up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon put his hand to his forehead. “How many years would it have taken Batman to practice his rope darts? Ordinary materials can’t withstand the whips. They’re too sharp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was amused. The little girl was really a hardcore Batman fan. She even wanted to imitate his weapons and tactics?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, “So, your equipment should be upgraded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon trembled as he recalled his previous fear of going bankrupt and Mindy’s school fees. He subconsciously asked, “How much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “…It can be costly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon smiled bitterly. “Well… I’ve been drawing recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke finally remembered that he had persuaded Damon to become a cartoonist. His attention couldn’t help but shift. “Have you sold them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon hesitated. “Well, I draw comics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was interested. “Have you submitted them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon couldn’t help but look at Mindy, and coughed. “Not yet. It takes time to write a story, and it’s still too early to submit them.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1202,"2026-06-06T03:36:20.303Z",1,"novelbin.me","ba3f1074384d577c2c5c00e3cb5f0f7be2b10a17eef923d5fabcb49efcc64e0d","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1215","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1213",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
