Lake simply sneered.
Tony frowned.
"You don't believe it?"
"No, I do."
Tony looked at Lake, whose face was full of disapproval, and said in a deep voice: "What I said is true."
He was no match for the black-hearted demon that had taken over Obadiah's body.
In fact, at the beginning, Tony still had the upper hand, but no matter what kind of weapon he used, when attacking Obadiah who was shrouded in black fog, only the screams of this black-hearted demon could be heard, but he did not fall to the ground.
At the end.
Tony originally thought that this Blackhearted Demon was a masochist, but in the second half of the round, neither the small missiles on his shoulders nor the palm cannons could even make him scream.
Then the tide of the battle changed.
After just a brief encounter, Blackheart appeared from the ground in front of Tony in the sky. With a bang, he kneed Tony, sending him flying into the air. Then he instantly knocked Tony down from the sky to the ground.
All the damage to Tony's current armor was caused by this one encounter.
fortunately.
Before Tony set out this time, he seemed to have a premonition that he would encounter a demon, so he kept a few small missiles filled with holy water. Just when the Blackheart who occupied Obadiah's body tore off Tony's mask and was about to crush him to death, the holy water missiles on Tony's shoulders were directly launched.
A scream that seemed to come from hell caused the Black Demon Heart to crash back into the warehouse. Coincidentally, it hit the explosive items stored in the warehouse, causing a shocking explosion.
Tony saw that more and more people were gathering around and he was also injured, so he quickly evacuated.
And then here we are.
Lake looked at Tony, whose face was full of worry, and smiled: "What I said is true."
Tony looked at Lake with a frown.
Lake smiled and said, "Don't worry, the gates of hell can't be opened. Even if the sky falls, it's not our turn to resist it."
Tony was puzzled.
Lake thought for a moment and looked at Tony: "Now you know that there is a mysterious organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. in this world."
Tony nodded.
A variation of the Science Strategy Team, which stars both Howard Stark and Ms. Peggy Carter.
"Can they handle S.H.I.E.L.D."
"ha."
"…I don't like guessing riddles."
"Feel sorry."
Lake suppressed a laugh and said to Tony, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is reliable. They can even count sows. Do you really think that world peace is maintained by S.H.I.E.L.D.? They can brag about it, but they have done a few serious things. They have done more harm than good. What I mean is, someone will deal with the devil. After all, you can't expect us ordinary people to fight the devil head-on."
Can Aegis fight against demons?
Lake wanted to laugh.
S.H.I.E.L.D. considers itself second to none and no one dares to claim to be first.
Don't believe it?
continuously.
At the beginning, S.H.I.E.L.D. tried to recruit Riker by threatening him with social death, but was rejected by Riker.
The story of the Winter Soldier afterwards, damn, they only thought that the Winter Soldier was a hero, without caring at all about what the Winter Soldier had done and had to protect a murderer.
The third is the matter of the so-called Assassin's Academy. Wow, they boast about protecting the world, but in the end, they just take in orphans from all over and train them to become so-called numbered agents?
Your mom is furious.
Then in the cloning story, Daniel Whitehall turned himself and Bucky Barnes into assembly line products. Daniel Whitehall even made a small island country his own. Where is S.H.I.E.L.D.?
One sentence.
It is better to rely on Hydra to have a change of heart than to rely on S.H.I.E.L.D. Because Hydra is more reliable than them. At the very least, Hydra is quite secretive, regardless of other things.
Tony nodded, not quite understanding. Then, looking at Lake who was talking seriously about being an ordinary person, he frowned and said, "You, an ordinary person?"
Lake shrugged and said, "What else? I'm not human?"
I will be a god in the future.
But not now. At most, I am just an immortal. Even so, I am also a human being. At most, I can be considered a male god.
Tony's mouth twitched. "When I came here, Jarvis detected multiple bleeding in my body and a fractured right arm. The mortality rate was as high as 60%. But now, I've been in a coma for a while and I'm completely healed."
Lake said: "You should change to an intelligent system. It's too unreliable."
Finished.
Lake looked at the information transmitted from the tablet at this moment, raised his head to look at Tony: "If I were you, I would never worry about the devil, but would worry about something else."
"What?"
Lake showed his tablet to Tony. In the huge photo, Tony was on top and the devil was on the bottom. The holy water missiles from his shoulders rumbled towards the devil and the scene was very clear.
That's right.
The kind without a mask.
Lake looked up at the time on his watch, smiled, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before someone claiming to be an agent from S.H.I.E.L.D. finds you and tells you that for the sake of world security and stability, it's wisest for you to deny that you are the person in the picture."
Tony said, "That makes sense."
It is normal for any official organization in the world to first think about maintaining stability. After all, stability means that everything is under control, just like the last clone crisis.
Lake thought about his own affairs and said to Tony: "I seem to have forgotten to tell you that this so-called S.H.I.E.L.D. also tried to recruit me."
Tony looked at Lake: "When?"
"Remember the first time my name and picture appeared in all the major New York newspapers, stealing your spotlight? I was still in the NYPD at the time?"
"Know."
Tony didn't know this before, but after he became familiar with Lake, he made a special effort to learn about Lake's past, so he found out.
Lake nodded and said, "That time. That pair of white and black was arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D. to make me socially dead so that I would obey them and join them later."
Tony was amused when he heard this and asked, "They don't know your background?"
The military background and capital background are enough for Lake to act freely. After all, Lake was officially adopted by Karen and Ross and is the nominal heir of the Ross family.
Lake shook his head and looked at Tony: "But I feel that they will change their tactics this time."
Tony said, "You're saying they'll try to recruit me too?"
Riker nodded. "You have the pedigree, Tony. Howard Stark and Peggy Carter founded the Strategic Science Corps, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. You want my opinion?"
"certainly!"
"Principles and bottom line."
"What?"
Lake said calmly, "Principles and bottom lines. Stick to your principles and your bottom line. Because once you break them, these people will try to push you back like mad dogs."
Maybe this is why Tony Stark did not accept SHIELD's advice in the original plot.
It's very simple.
If those superheroes who have not achieved their own freedom in life choose to conceal their identities for various reasons, then does Tony, a vested interest in the federal capitalist society, need to hide his superhero identity?
There's absolutely no reason for that.
The reason why SHIELD asked Tony Stark to hide his identity was very simple, to test Tony. Once Tony accepted their opinions, what about the second one and the third one?
The reason why principles are called principles is because they are unshakable.
The bottom line is the same.
This is the reason why Lake cruelly sent Morin to the west. If he had spared Morin's life after knowing the truth, believe it or not, if Morin hadn't died, she would definitely find various reasons to appear in front of him, just like a demon in his heart, confusing his mind and making him step by step towards the abyss.
Once principles and bottom lines are broken, it's like cutting open your own chest and exposing your inner self nakedly. At that time, everything is over.
After listening to this, Tony chuckled and said, "I said it's normal to conceal your identity, but I didn't say why I would choose to hide my identity?"
Why hide it?
I built an iron suit and flew directly to Afghanistan in broad daylight without hiding myself. If I had to hide, I would have done so long ago.
Tony thought about what he saw and heard in the cave during those seven days, and after he came back, he saw his weapons appear in the news about terrorist organizations slaughtering the poor on TV. Only Tony knew his anger. He built weapons to protect the Federation, not to allow a group of terrorists to use his weapons to do evil.
What if it's exposed?
Tony never cared whether he would expose this fact or not. Once it was exposed, he would be even more intimidating to the villains.
and...
The chairman of Stark Industries is a superhero. With this news coming out, it is estimated that Stark Industries' plummeting stock price will return to its peak again.
Seeing that Tony had an idea of his own, Lake smiled and said, "It's good that you know it yourself."
While talking.
Lake's phone rang.
Rachel's.
"Lake, my flight to New York is early tomorrow morning. Can you pick me up?"
"certainly."
Lake answered without hesitation, and then said, "What's wrong? Is Helen catching a cold or something?"
Rachel, who was in her pajamas and had just been woken up by the big news and had hurriedly booked a flight, rolled her eyes: "My daughter is fine. By the way, at this hour, you're still awake. Don't you know?"
Lake frowned: "Know what?"
Rachel lowered her voice and said, "Fort Hancock, oh my god, the photos have been sent to Washington, and our newspaper wants me to get the first-hand news."
Lake raised his eyebrows and looked at Tony over there.
Tony also heard Rachel's voice on the phone, his tail was already lifted up, and he sat on the sofa, ready to cross his legs.
With a snap.
"What's wrong?"
"A fool broke the sofa at home."
Lake said this to Rachel, and then, after hanging up the phone, he said expressionlessly to Tony, who was sitting on his sofa: "Three thousand dollars, either pay the money or give an interview, it's up to you."
Tony, wearing an iron suit and looking a little dazed, fell down on the broken sofa: "..."
