Chapter 597 ‘Transaction’!

"So, according to you, we won't help them and just take the supplies and leave?"

Ashley looked back at Tony Stark and couldn't help saying.

"Is that what I mean?" Tony Stark asked back, and then he put down the cup. "I mean, sometimes it's good not to be bound by morality and justice. Look at me, how comfortable I have been since I stopped being Iron Man."

"Come on." Pietro frowned, glanced at Tony Stark, and said dissatisfiedly. "If Zhang Ye was here, he would definitely help these people."

Hearing this, Tony Stark seemed to have heard a joke and laughed out loud.

At first he just laughed loudly, and then he slapped the table and laughed so hard that he was out of breath.

"What are you laughing at!?" Pietro felt a strong sense of irony from the laughter.

Without answering immediately, Tony Stark laughed for a long time, until Pietro was about to hold it back, he slowly stopped.

"You are the first one to follow Zhang Ye. I thought you would know Zhang Ye better. Now it seems that I overestimated you."

Tony Stark pointed at Pietro and said in a deep voice. "I tell you, Sprinter, you imitated Zhang Ye very well just now, but you don't know Zhang Ye well enough.

Use your speedster brain to think about what Zhang Ye's code of conduct has always been, and what he thought of first when he encountered various difficulties."

Hearing this, Pietro frowned even deeper, and he stared at Tony Stark in confusion. "What do you mean by this? Do you think Zhang Ye will not help these people?"

Tony Stark smiled but said nothing, turned around and walked to the cabinet to take out another bottle of red wine, without any intention of answering Pietro.

At this time, Kara, who had been silent, understood the meaning of Tony Stark's words.

She pondered for a while and said uncertainly.

"Do you mean a deal?"

"Bingo~!"

Tony Stark turned around holding the bottle of red wine and pointed at Kara in response.

But seeing Tony Stark's reaction, Pietro was even more confused. He didn't understand why Zhang Ye's code of conduct could be equated with the word "deal".

Seeing Pietro's expression, Tony Stark sighed heavily.

Then he took out several glasses, opened the red wine and poured a glass of red wine for each of the other three people present, and he took a sip from the glass before speaking.

"Since I met Zhang Ye, I have been thinking about one thing, that is, why did Zhang Ye save me? He even split the timeline for me. I didn't understand it before, but after I came into contact with magic, I realized how dangerous this action was.

So I have always been very curious why Zhang Ye saved me and brought me to the wasteland universe to become a member of the supervisor.

At first, I thought that he might have taken a fancy to me and wanted to do something unspeakable with me, or he took a fancy to my ability and wanted me to work for him and contribute to his organization."

"Is it possible that Zhang Ye just did what he wanted?" Pietro asked.

"Perhaps the word 'investment' is more accurate." Tony Stark smiled. "After joining the Supervisor, I have investigated your past experiences, including the archives of the wasteland, and the 'big events' you have done in other universes.

I found that Zhang Ye is really a person who likes to keep his promises, whether to you or Kara. Of course, he has regarded you as family, so it is normal for you not to understand."

Sitting on the sofa, Tony Stark put down the cup and said with his hands spread out.

"You might as well think about it, what is Zhang Ye's identity at this time?"

"Zhang Ye's identity?" Pietro was stunned for a moment, then tentatively said. "The lord of the wasteland universe?"

"Dark wizard?" Ashley also answered.

And Venom also came out at this time. "He is a demon."

Only Kara did not speak, she stared at Tony Stark calmly, waiting for what he would say next.

"Dimension Lord, Dark Wizard, Demon"

Tony Stark nodded every time he read a word, and then he said with a smile.

"Don't you think these three identities have one thing in common, that is, these beings are often masters of trading."

After a pause, Tony Stark continued.

"Zhang Ye has kept this habit since the ruins universe. Do you think he really wanted to save this universe from the Kryptonians when he first came to this universe? No, he was just making a deal with Bruce Wayne.

The scepter in your hand, including the weapons and equipment that Zhang Ye is still using, were all taken from Bruce Wayne.

The reason why he participated in this matter is simply because, no matter whether he wins or loses in the end, he is sure to take you out of here alive."

Hearing this, Pietro fell silent and began to recall some of Zhang Ye's reactions when he first came to this universe.

And Tony Stark continued to speak.

"Later, you went to a polluted universe. Zhang Ye could have ignored the life and death of that universe. He even admitted that even without him, that universe would probably not harm the main universe, but he still took the initiative to meddle in other people's business.

What was the reason? It's very simple. He knew that he would probably be involved in pollution again in the future, so he decided to take the initiative to test the other party's depth. In the end, how did he solve the trouble of that universe? I don't need to say more, right?"

"He made a deal with Mephisto and the Eye Demon." Kara took the initiative to answer.

"Yes, a deal, a deal that kills three birds with one stone." Tony Stark said with a smile. "Including the wasteland universe and Apocalypse universe later, you don't really think Zhang Ye wants to play the role of savior, right?

Soon after he entered the wasteland, he had the idea of ​​taking that universe into his own hands. It all belongs to him. Isn't it also helping himself if he saves the wasteland?

The same is true for the Apocalypse universe. Don't you see that those people are living in the wasteland now?"

"How do you know these things and what Zhang Ye thinks?" Pietro asked with a frown.

"It's very simple, because I'm a businessman, and a selfish and alcoholic businessman."

Tony Stark answered inexplicably, and then he smiled and spread his hands.

"Pietro, do you remember what you told me before about Count Nefara in the wasteland? Do you know why Zhang Ye didn't do anything from beginning to end, but asked you and Kara to act?"

Hearing this question, Pietro and Kara looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Tony Stark nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled.

"Because the hands of heroes cannot be stained with the blood of innocent people, and Zhang Ye.

I have never felt that I am a hero!"

After the voice fell, Pietro suddenly felt a very strange feeling all over his body.

He licked his dry lips and nodded.

"I seem to understand a little bit. You mean that we can help this universe, but we can't help for nothing, because we are not heroes now. We are regulators and we have to be responsible for the people of a universe."

"You understand it quickly, young man."

Tony Stark touched his beard, smiled and stretched out a hand, rubbing his thumb, index finger and middle finger a few times.

"If they want our help, they have to take out something."

"But what can they take out to ask us for help?" Ashley asked curiously.

At this time, Kara spoke. "Ashley, have you forgotten why we came here this time?"

"Ah!"

Ashley immediately understood the meaning and widened her eyes.

And Tony Stark continued to speak along with Kara's words. "Anyway, they already know our origins. Now that Batman is in a coma, it doesn't matter who we trade with."

Speaking of this, Tony Stark looked at Pietro.

"Captain, what do you think?"

"."

Pietro was silent. He first glanced at Tony Stark, then turned his head to look at Kara, and finally set his sights on Venom. He raised his hand to push Venom's head aside, and he looked at Ashley.

Finally, Pietro nodded.

"I understand. I will go to Tim in a while to finalize the next long-term transaction. I will also say hello to Time Warrior. The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation here so that we can get more supplies."

"That's right."

Tony Stark had a teachable expression, and then he continued.

"Now the time anchor point has been completely established. When I return to the mysterious house, I will control the speed of the timeline of the wasteland universe. In this way, the flow rate of the two universes will be roughly the same. When we go back and forth between the two universes, there will be no problem of several years between us."

"Well, then Kara, Ashley and I will stay here. If there is any problem, I can also contact you." Pietro also nodded.

After a pause, Pietro spoke again. "Tony, go back and tell Luther about this matter. He needs to arrange the recruitment of manpower. Also, don't forget to tell Zhang Ye."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Tony Stark made an 'ok' gesture.

"One more thing." Pietro said in a deep voice. "Just now, the people from the Justice Association said that Gotham can't live without Batman. Do you remember?"

"Nonsense, they said it three times."

Tony Stark pouted, then he reacted suddenly and looked at Pietro in surprise.

"You kid, don't you want to..."

"Hehe."

Pietro finally smiled.

"What do you think?"
