Chapter 47: The Meeting Begins! Playing Tricks on the Senators!
Hearing Tony's words, he replied indifferently. With eight special abilities, he could retreat unscathed even when facing the U.S. Military! He didn't care about any hearing; it was only because of Tony that he was prepared to go.
Tony's expression changed when he saw Jiang Bai ready to go on a rampage, and he immediately tried to calm Jiang Bai down! He knew Jiang Bai had some kind of trump card, though he didn't know what it was. But from his disdainful attitude towards the American Government and the Military, he knew Jiang Bai was hiding something else.
No ordinary person could face the American Government and the Military with such indifference and disregard, unless they were an idiot! Jiang Bai clearly wasn't, so the most likely explanation was that he possessed something that allowed him to disregard the American Government and the Military.
After a deep look at Tony, Jiang Bai took out his Magnetic Armor from the System Space. The two, one red and one white, instantly soared into the sky and flew towards the location of the hearing. The moment Jiang Bai left the manor, the AI activated its invisible energy shield.
The scene was already packed with people, all waiting for Tony and Jiang Bai's arrival. Due to his identity being exposed, combined with Jiang Bai's handsome face, he had quite a few fans! The title of Silver White Knight was also rapidly gaining popularity.
However, Jiang Bai had never admitted to being the Silver White Knight; he didn't like the title and naturally wouldn't acknowledge it. Soon, two figures appeared high in the sky above the hearing site: none other than Tony and Jiang Bai!
"They're here! Iron Man and Silver White Knight are here!"
"Iron Man!!! Woohoo!!"
"Silver White Knight is so handsome!!!"
After Tony and Jiang Bai landed from the sky, the surrounding fans screamed wildly and tried to approach them, but they were all stopped by security! Then, reporters from various news agencies started frantically taking pictures of Tony and Jiang Bai. The two, still in their armors, walked directly into the hearing.
Upon entering the hearing, everyone was surprised to see Tony and Jiang Bai wearing their armors. However, Tony spotted his good friend Rhodes inside. Rhodes gave Tony a helpless smile upon seeing him; he was there under duress and would not have wanted to attend this hearing otherwise.
Controlling their armors, they arrived at their designated seats. As he sat down, Jiang Bai directly disengaged from his armor. The armor, controlled by his intelligent system, stood beside him! His white suit, meticulously tailored, appeared even more elegant and perfect, exuding approachability and a sense of security.
He was dashing and noble, like a prince on a white horse. The white suit on him was like sunlight piercing through clouds, instantly captivating. His posture was tall and straight, his lines fluid, showcasing elegance and charm.
His facial features were distinct and profound, like a Greek sculpture. His dark, deep, icy eyes appeared wild and unrestrained, alluring and sensual. His chiseled, handsome features exuded a kingly aura that could awe the World, and a roguish smile now played on his evil yet handsome face.
Paired with the white suit, it highlighted his aristocratic dignity and uniqueness. His handsome, fresh features made it impossible not to stare. In the warm sunlight, his sun-drenched long hair shone like precious gold leaf, reflecting a brilliant golden ocean.
Tony paused slightly when he saw Jiang Bai remove his armor, then sat down with a hint of resentment in his gaze. He hadn't yet developed an armor that didn't require mechanical arms to don! He hadn't expected Jiang Bai to be able to do it.
"Mr. Tony Stark and Mr. Jiang Bai Host, do you possess a weaponized armor that poses a threat to national security, specifically the one beside you? A week ago, a giant monster attacked New York, which made us realize the dangers of this World."
"Therefore, I believe you should hand over the Iron Man Armor so that the country can have the ability to fight monsters. Isn't that your responsibility as superheroes?!"
A senator spoke righteously to Tony and Jiang Bai, directly demanding that they hand over the Iron Man Armor, even using the pretext of fighting monsters! Hearing his words, a disdainful smile appeared on Jiang Bai's lips.
"No, we don't! It depends on how you define the Iron Man Armor. I think it's an assistive prosthetic!"
"And Mr. Jiang Bai?"
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Are you going to use them to fight monsters, or do you want to use them to dominate other countries? When the monster appeared, I didn't see you bravely leading everyone to defeat it. Now that the monster is gone, you jump out again? A mere Joker! Also, I have never admitted to being a superhero! And I haven't settled the score with you for privately exposing my identity yet. Just wait."
"Good! Hahahahaha, did you hear that? You're just a Joker!"
Hearing the other party's questioning, Tony, with an attitude of not caring about anything, spoke to him! After Tony finished speaking, the senator turned his attention to Jiang Bai. After all, Tony was the CEO of Stark Industries; although he had powerful backing, it was still very difficult to deal with Tony.
Jiang Bai, on the other hand, was just an ordinary person with some money, so he planned to find a breakthrough with Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai, sensing his intention, looked at the other party expressionlessly and spoke coldly, his eyes full of playful mockery. Thinking of his identity being privately exposed by the other party, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Tony burst into laughter upon hearing Jiang Bai's sharp words. The reporters nearby were even more excited, recording everything. They didn't care at all that Jiang Bai hadn't admitted to being a superhero! All they cared about was trending topics, and they would photograph whatever was trending.
His words infuriated the senator. Thinking of Jiang Bai's threatening words just now, a chill ran down his spine. He then had Rhodes begin reading a legal passage! He wanted to force Jiang Bai and Tony to hand over the Iron Man Armor through legal means. Rhodes smiled helplessly and began to read.
Finally, he directly began to tamper with the law, infuriating the senator, who, with a flushed face, asked Justin Hammer to speak, calling him a qualified weapons expert, to define whether Jiang Bai and Tony's Iron Man Armor were weapons!
"It is obvious that both Mr. Jiang Bai's and Mr. Tony's armors are weapons, and highly destructive ones at that! They pose a serious threat to national security, and I recommend they be handed over to the country for handling!"
"A weapons expert, him? He's probably a rescue soldier sent by a monkey! Are these the weapons you researched—armors out of control? Can't solve the energy problem? And you call this a weapons expert!"
"I don't have time to argue with you, nor am I in the mood to watch you two Jokers perform."
