Chapter 823 A Lot of Scruples, a Lobbyist Comes

The captain's sudden surrender gave Tony the feeling of punching the air. He was already prepared for the worst, and he even said that he was psychologically prepared for the captain and the others who would rather die than submit, and eventually cause huge losses. But he never thought that the captain would admit defeat.

This gave him an immediate urge to kill them all. But as president, he obviously can't do that. He must follow the law, even if the Avengers did this kind of thing in front of the whole country, he must take them into custody and wait for the court to make a trial before he can make a judgment on them. This is something he doesn't want to see, but it is also something he has to do. And he also believed that this was a trick played by the captain.

He must know all this, otherwise he wouldn't have surrendered so simply. He wanted to stall for time and find another breakthrough for himself. Tony, who thought he knew the captain very well, immediately guessed such a possibility, but he was sure of this possibility. But does the captain really think so? That's not necessarily the case.

The captain belongs to a very special existence. He has a great degree of idealism, and is willing to dedicate himself to this idealism. But that doesn't mean he can't see reality. But now, both his idealism and the reality he faces point to a problem, that is, he has no way out now.

It is impossible for him to rescue his good brother, and he even has to take the reputation of his teammates and the entire Avengers. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to him. At the same time, this also means that his ideal situation is no longer possible. It has become impossible to save his friend from danger, so at this time he can only make another choice. That's carrying it all with the Winter Soldier. At the same time, he must stop this meaningless sacrifice.

The Avengers were implicated by him, so he must take responsibility. So instead of allowing this sacrifice to continue, it would be better to just stop it like this. And as long as he is willing to surrender and bear these charges, all this will naturally stop.

The captain's thinking is probably like this, of course he also knows the consequences of his surrender. But in his opinion, this is already the best way. And Tony's desperation can fully prove this point.

The vigorous trial thus came to an end. The ordinary people who watched all this were naturally rejoiced, and regarded this as a great victory, the result of justice and justice being upheld. But Tony was unwilling to accept this result. This result was too light, so light that it didn't even reach one-tenth of what he had imagined. But for a while, he couldn't do anything to change everything.

The power of the president is great, but the president is not omnipotent. He is not a monarch who keeps his promises, let alone a god who can follow his words. He is just a temporary ruler under the democratic system, an existence that needs attention in everything he says and does. No matter what he does, he has to take into account the thoughts of the people below, and he has to take into account the face of some governments.

So he can only accept the captain's surrender,

At the same time, they were escorted to the island prison. And he began to compile in his mind how to weave enough charges to completely convict the captain and the Avengers.

This is not easy, because there is a time gap in between, and during this time gap, various accidents are likely to occur. These are superheroes, so there will likely be other superheroes coming to their aid. As far as Tony knows, the current Avengers haven't all been arrested yet? With the relationship between them, it is very likely that there will be another rescue.

So he had to finalize the matter as soon as possible, before everyone could react relatively. Let these Avengers no longer have the possibility of a comeback. But is it possible? The answer is of course no, because just when Tony was thinking about what to do, his secretary assistant broke in and said this to him.

"Mr. Stark, I think we need to talk!"

"What, ma'am. Do you want to ask me for leave? If so, I can give you a week's leave, but then you have to work hard for me! And, now, you have to work for me without permission. Apologize for the intrusion!"

Frowning and looking at the uninvited assistant, Tony's tone inevitably contained a little anger. He is in a very bad mood now, and naturally he is not pleasing to anyone. And this assistant, now obviously hit the muzzle.

However, unlike what he had imagined, the assistant didn't show any panic because of his words, and didn't even mean to apologize. She just looked at Tony with a smile, and the deep eyes made Tony look at it as if he saw the deep lake.

This is definitely not a look that an assistant can have. This kind of experience and wisdom only belongs to those special guys. As soon as he thought about this, Tony immediately realized something, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said viciously to the assistant in front of him.

"Professor Charles, you are so courageous, how dare you appear in front of me in this way at this time?"

"That's because I know that if I visit in a normal way, I may not even see your face. Lord Stark, that may not be a good thing, so please forgive my presumptuousness, I can only use It’s a way to communicate with you face to face.”

Charles, whose consciousness was projected onto the assistant, said sorry, but there was nothing apologetic in his words. Even the tone of his address is quite different from before.

In the past, facing the president of the United States, Charles was somewhat humble. Because at that time, the policies led by the president determined the soil in which mutants lived. It can be said that if the president of a country decides to target mutants, then the mutants at that time will definitely have a difficult life.

The background of this general environment made the leaders of the mutants, especially Charles, who was biased towards the human side, have to show enough kindness to humans, and even need to lower his stance appropriately.

But it's different now, the mutants no longer need to worry about the US government. And even if a tough president like Tony comes to power, they have the confidence to ignore him. This is the confidence that can only be possessed after having a strong background.

The current mutants have a real great god in front of their backstage, and they can naturally ignore the meaning of those human regimes. So it is understandable that Charles has such a tone.

Tony knew this too, so he didn't bother to hang on to it. This is a child's method, and he is not interested in this kind of thing. In contrast, he cared more about Charles' intentions. As for his reason for coming, just a little thought is enough to come up with a rough idea.

So immediately, he frowned and asked Charles.

"Why, at this time, you still want to help them escape? Don't you know what a big thing they have committed?"

In Tony's view, Professor Charles will appear in front of his eyes at this time, so there is only one possibility, and that is to threaten him to release the avengers he just caught. He had a deep friendship with the captain, something Tony knew early on. Otherwise, in the Mediterranean, these mutants would not have taken such a big risk to keep the captain and the others.

It's just that he really didn't expect that at such a time, Charles would dare to express such meaning. Doesn't he know what the bottom line is? Or did he think that with the backing of Zhou Yi behind him, he could be unscrupulous? Don't forget, although the mutants are backed by Zhou Yi, he cannot represent all the mutants. And when it comes to friendship with Zhou Yi, Tony thinks he is no worse than anyone else. Zhou Yi has clearly stated his position in this dispute, why can't these mutants understand it?

With countless questions in his heart, Tony's face also became gloomy and indignant. He had already made a decision. If the mutants made excessive demands, he would not let them succeed even if he fought to the death.

Anyone with eyes can see the look on his face, but for Charles, what he sees is Tony's inner fluctuations. This made him sigh deeply, but he still spoke to Tony through the assistant's mouth.

"Of course I know, Lord Stark. But people make mistakes, can't you give them a chance to reform themselves?"

"I have given them a chance long ago, but they will not cherish it. I have said long ago that I only want the Winter Soldier alone. It is they who keep provoking me for their own selfish desires, so that they finally become Such a situation. So, at this time, it is impossible for you to recover. This is already a situation that cannot be compromised, and it will not be useful for anyone to explain it clearly. If you understand what I mean, now you should What should be done is to leave here honestly, understand? Professor Charles!"

Tony's meaning was very clear, and it was this clear expression that made Charles feel very difficult. In his opinion, he didn't want to offend Tony because of this matter again, but sometimes, some things had to be done. So he could only continue talking to Tony.

"I know your lordship is angry. But things always have room to turn around. Like now, I think we can change this situation by making a deal."

"Deal?" With a sneer, Tony glanced sharply at the assistant in front of him. "Do you think that the matter of maintaining the face of a country can be reversed and resolved through transactions?"

"Of course not, so I will take care of what you need to take care of. Our purpose is very simple, we just want to return our compatriots! And as a price, we can provide enough manpower for your new plan." (To be continued .)
