Chapter 1580 Cutting Off the Gown and Judging the Righteousness, the Dispute of Belief
Hearing this voice, Stark immediately restrained the weak look on his face, and turned into his usual majesty and mockery.
Because of relying on their own force and understanding of the identity of the speaker. He didn't call for the security guards who were standing by. Instead, he kept staring at the tombstone in front of him calmly, and talked with the one lurking in the dark through layers of obstacles.
"I know Rody, and when we were drinking together and spanking, you were probably still holding the bottle and drinking milk? So, don't say such things that you are not qualified to say, Peter. Don't make me angry at this time."
Spider-Man Peter is the one who lurks in the dark and speaks to Stark. And since he dared to say such a thing to Stark, then naturally, he would not care about this trivial threat in Stark's words. So at the moment, he refuted to Stark.
"What you said is very reasonable, Your Excellency. It's just that I don't understand, since you and Roddy have been good friends for such a long time, why do you still do this kind of thing that I'm sorry for him? Doesn't your conscience hurt? Or, if you become the president, you can blatantly betray him and abandon him?"
Peter's words tore through Stark's defense like a sharp sword. Anger and some emotion that he couldn't describe himself made him involuntarily let out a low growl like a wild beast at this time.
"Shut up, Peter. I warned you, watch your words, don't make me angry at this time. I don't want to have any unnecessary disputes with you, but that doesn't mean I will tolerate your treatment of me Endless humiliation."
This was a very obvious warning, but such a warning did not make Peter restrain himself. On the contrary, at this time, he became more and more emotional because of Stark's words.
"Humiliation? You take it as a humiliation. Then you think I'm hearing you on TV, one sentence of terrorist attack to wipe out all the casualties and two sentences of decision-making mistakes to let go of the politicians who issued this goddamn order How do you know that I won't take this as your humiliation to me and us?"
Compared with before, these words can be said to be even worse.
But in the face of such a remark, it was difficult for Stark to give him any sharp warnings and rebuttals as before.
Because he has a guilty conscience. In this matter, he did feel sorry for Rody and Peter for their choice. However, he has his reasons. Even if he was given another chance, he might still choose to do so. Therefore, even if he was indeed being condemned in his heart at this time, he still maintained his superficial reserve, and said to Peter solemnly enough.
"This is not humiliation, you should understand it. This is what I should do as the president. Otherwise, what do you want me to say, say that we are in conspiracy, and when we face the enemy, do we still think about each other's filth? Say that we Are our soldiers fighting on the front lines and our politicians and officials behind us planning to kill them too? Peter, you are not a child anymore. You are an adult. You should know that this is the rule among adults, Some unspoken rules. Whether it is you or me, we cannot violate this rule. Because this represents order and stability. It is the foundation for this world to not completely fall into turmoil. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I don't understand these damn things of yours. All I know is that you kept the people who killed Roddy safe, and you can still sit in that position and give orders!"
Although he didn't come out of the shadows, Stark could imagine what kind of hatred and anger the expression on Peter's face would be. He hates this damn bureaucracy. And when his former good friends, companions, and respectable elders in his mind betrayed them and joined the ranks of bureaucrats he hated, his hatred became more acute and thorough.
In his opinion, Stark has changed, and he has become nothing like the original Iron Man, the national hero who is righteous and can help the building to collapse. He only knows compromise, only knows step by step retreat. Even whether he still has the original belief and whether he can stick to his original intention is a question that needs to be doubted.
He didn't want to believe it, but at this time, there were some things he had to believe. However, although he has been forced to believe these things, it does not mean that he will feel that Stark has reached the point of no cure.
He also had certain expectations, a certain fluke mentality. So at this time, he chose to meet Stark in such a special season, instead of parting ways with him completely, and became strangers ever since.
Stark can also feel this, he can see Peter's hesitation at this time, and his last bit of goodwill.
Just as Peter was unwilling to give up on him and stood on two different paths with him from then on. He is also unwilling to see his former companion become a stranger, or even become an enemy. So, after hesitating for a long time, he frowned tightly and opened his mouth.
"What do you want me to do? What do you want me to do? Give up my responsibilities, give up my obligations as a president? Then do the so-called happy and enmity regardless of the overall situation?"
"It's the right thing to do!"
Peter strengthened his tone, as if he wanted to make his words irrefutable.
"Punish those who have committed crimes and make them pay for what they have done. Everyone who knows what justice is, everyone who knows right and wrong in their hearts, will know that this is the right choice. You can't Let the true heroes bleed and cry, you have to let them, let Roddy's soul take comfort."
"Stark, this is your last chance. Your last chance to prove your convictions and your principles. For Roddy's sake, for the sake of our old friendship. I have chosen this day, Roddy's Death day. You are given such an opportunity. So, don't let me down. Don't let me down, Lord Stark!"
Last chance to choose. Difficult and full of pain. It is time to choose fellowship, to choose the so-called axiom and justice. Or should I choose to betray and choose the belief I hold on to?
This is not something that Stark cannot choose. Or rather, the answer is simply the obvious. He sacrificed countless, and even allowed those who killed his friends to continue to hang around under his nose, not for the so-called axiom and justice. Compared with the real benefits and the persistence in his heart, these have always been worthless things. So soon, he told Peter his answer.
"Sorry, Peter. I am the president of the United States, and every decision I make must be for the sake of this country. I can't destroy this existing order because of them, because of a group of soldiers who have died in battle, just go to Enemy against other governments. I can't... so, I'm very sorry. I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
"You let us down, all of us..."
There was silence in the air for a long time before such a response from Peter came. And his disappointed voice made Stark himself start to hate himself. But, still that sentence. This is an inevitable choice. Even if he does it all over again, or countless times, he will probably still choose this way.
This is a wiser choice, even if it is said to make him betray his relatives. However, no one would be willing to choose such a terrible ending, even if he had already made a decision.
So, when he heard footsteps starting to fade away, he felt that Peter had left him far away. He immediately raised his voice and said loudly.
"Son. You should know what kind of road you have chosen. What a difficult and suffering road. No one has ever walked this road. Whether it is me, Zhou Yi or anyone else. The final outcome is often Either you gave up, or you got lost in it. Of course, there are more dire situations. And this is definitely not what I want to see happen to you. So wake up, kid. Take advantage of it now It's not too late, while you still have a way to turn back."
"There is no turning back for me, Your Excellency. Since I made this choice, I have cut off all retreats."
"Stupid. You know what? It's stupid. Don't you know what it means? Too many people die this way, and I don't want you to be one of them."
"Becoming someone like you, I would rather choose death. At least for me, this is not a strange journey. Even in hell, it's the same."
Peter's response was as emphatic as his previous ones. This made Stark sigh in his heart, and at the same time praised him endlessly. However, even if this is the case, he must explain some things clearly.
"You're not gonna go to hell. At least not until the rest of us go to hell. Peter, though. I need to remind you that you can't go too far. I've had a hard time rebuilding this country order, I will never allow you to do anything to disrupt this order. So, if you are not willing to stand with me. Then I can only warn you. You must sign the decree and accept our supervision. Only in this way, all your actions in this country are legal. Otherwise...you should know that your identity is not a secret. I don't want the police and the army to keep chasing after you."
"Let them come. Justice will not accept filthy judgment. Evil will be punished!"
