Chapter 48: Killing the Senator! Coulson's Invitation!
After Justin Hammer came to the stage, he took out a USB flash drive and plugged it into the adjacent port. He then began analyzing Jiang Bai and Tony's armors through the display screen, essentially trying to define their armors as weapons.
Did the public not know if it was a weapon? Did the reporters present not know? But Tony and Jiang Bai said they were mechanical prosthetics, so the other party couldn't do anything to them! Watching Justin Hammer's outburst on stage, Tony looked disdainful.
Hammer Industries and Stark Industries both manufactured weapons, but Stark Industries always secured the majority of the Military's orders! Hammer Industries had never won against Stark Industries. The reason that Senator invited Justin Hammer was likely a promise that the Iron Man Armor would be given to him for research.
Tony looked at the Joker and stopped listening to him. He used the armor's AI to directly hack into the other party's display screen, then brought up footage and videos of some of Hammer Industries' armors and War Machine experiments for everyone to see. Justin Hammer panicked and started trying to cover the screen.
He finally pulled the power cord, stopping Tony from continuing the playback. Tony then looked at Justin Hammer mockingly, his disdain and ridicule infuriating Justin Hammer, but he could only endure it. Jiang Bai next to him was already a bit impatient.
After scoffing at Justin Hammer and the so-called Senator, he prepared to leave. Hearing Jiang Bai's words, the Senator and Justin Hammer were half-dead with rage. The Senator, in particular, looked at Jiang Bai with fire in his eyes.
"You yellow-skinned monkey! F*** you!!"
"What did you just say?"
The Senator, remembering Jiang Bai's Chinese heritage, directly called Jiang Bai a yellow-skinned monkey. Hearing this, Jiang Bai instantly ignited, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at the Senator. After his armor was fully donned, he walked towards the Senator's position. Tony, seeing the bad turn of events, wanted to stop him.
"Hey, Jiang! Calm down! Give me some face!!"
"Get lost!"
Looking at Tony, who wanted to stop him, Jiang Bai coldly spat out a single word. Tony had no choice but to lower his face mask, preparing to use his armor to calm Jiang Bai down. When the Senator saw Jiang Bai walking towards him in his armor, his face instantly turned pale.
Many security personnel also cautiously watched Jiang Bai. Rhodes also looked at the Senator with a speechless expression. The moment Tony lowered his face mask, Jiang Bai used his magnetic control in conjunction with his Magnetic Armor to push Tony aside.
"Shoot! Quickly!!"
"Don't shoot! No!!!"
As he approached the Senator step by step, the Senator immediately ordered all security personnel to open fire. Tony watched helplessly, shouting at everyone, if they opened fire, it would truly be over! Clearly, these security personnel wouldn't listen to Tony. Shots rang out, but none of them hit Jiang Bai.
They were frozen in mid-air by the terrifying magnetic force he could now control. The next second, all the bullets returned along their original paths, killing all the shooters. One bullet, however, hit the Senator in the forehead. Then, he came before the camera.
"Don't bother me, I'm not a superhero!!"
After saying that, he directly activated flight mode, crashed through the ceiling, and soared into the sky! He flew towards his Villa. Rhodes and Tony, looking at the chaotic scene, shook their heads and began contacting connections to deal with the aftermath. After all, it was the Senator who brought it upon himself.
It would be best to find some criminal evidence against the other party and expose it to minimize the impact on Jiang Bai! The incident quickly spread through the reporters' live broadcasts, and the entire internet was discussing Jiang Bai killing the Senator at the hearing.
Some supported it, some opposed it, and some thought Jiang Bai was so cool! This also kept Jiang Bai's popularity high. The American Government also held a meeting because of this incident, but due to Tony's connections, plus some of the Senator's private dealings being suddenly exposed.
In the end, no conclusion was reached. However, not long after Jiang Bai returned home, a very unexpected person came to visit: Coulson and Natasha! After Jiang Bai's permission, the two entered through the Villa's gate and soon arrived inside the Villa.
"Oh, isn't this the lady who sprained her ankle at the mall? Is this your partner?"
"Ahem, Mr. Jiang Bai, we are here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. to invite you to join!"
"S.H.I.E.L.D.? Never heard of it. It wouldn't be some pyramid scheme, would it? Tell me what you guys do."
"Our S.H.I.E.L.D. is a special unit of the International Security Council specifically for dealing with various strange incidents. We are also committed to maintaining World peace and protecting Earth's safety! We formally invite you to join the Avengers Initiative to protect Earth's safety, maintain World peace, and ensure the survival of humanity!"
Upon seeing Natasha again, Jiang Bai teased her with a frivolous tone. However, Natasha merely gave him a faint glance and said nothing. Coulson, next to her, spoke eloquently to Jiang Bai! Hearing about joining S.H.I.E.L.D., he immediately began to play dumb, and then Coulson started explaining S.H.I.E.L.D.'s philosophy and inviting him to join the Avengers Initiative.
"I'm not interested in your entire organization or plan. My small frame can't fight those monsters."
"In that case, given that Mr. Jiang Bai publicly killed a Senator, we are now placing you under arrest!"
"You try it."
Bang-------!
"You think I'm helpless without my armor? Don't bother looking, the team outside can't get in, let alone help you!"
To Coulson's invitation, Jiang Bai calmly replied to the two. However, the very next second after he refused! Coulson attempted to arrest him on the charge of publicly killing a Senator. Hearing the other party's words, he still spoke very calmly.
Then, Natasha swept a whip kick, but it was directly caught by Jiang Bai, who with a squeeze, broke Natasha's shin bone! Seeing this, Coulson looked at Jiang Bai in disbelief, holding his pistol. Jiang Bai threw Natasha aside, took a sip of coffee from the table, and calmly spoke to the two.
The two never expected that this Silver White Knight was so powerful even without his armor, breaking Natasha's shin bone with just the strength of his arm. Natasha, with her shin bone broken, looked at Jiang Bai in disbelief. The sweat on her forehead showed that having her shin bone broken was clearly not easy to bear.
Noticing Coulson's anxiety, Jiang Bai naturally knew what the other party was waiting for, which was the S.H.I.E.L.D. special mobile team that couldn't enter the Villa. With the energy shield in place, it was impossible for them to get in.
