Chapter 1193: Laying the Blame, and Who’s the Female Superhero?

When May’s family returned to the parking lot to get their car, they also saw the main exhibition hall, which had collapsed.

If they hadn’t left earlier, they would’ve still gotten a huge scare even if they had been fine. More importantly, little Peter was too young, and it wouldn’t be good if this left him with trauma.

Of course, Luke felt that a certain brat who liked wearing an Iron Man mask and glove, and said that he wanted to beat up bad guys, definitely wasn’t that weak.

This guy was small in everything but the amount of guts he had.

On the way back to the parking lot, he had heard the little guy say that Iron Man was so cool when he flew in the sky, and he wanted to fly too.

Luke could only smile and say nothing. He waved goodbye as the family drove off.

After all, he wasn’t sure if swinging between buildings could be considered flying.

…

Elsewhere, Tony flew back to Stark Tower and took off his armor. When he entered, he saw Pepper telling Jarvis to help deal with the aftermath.

For example, tallying the number of injured civilians and appeasing them.

The main exhibition hall had to be restored. It couldn’t be left a wreck, or it would leave a negative impression.

The police also had to be contacted and helped with legal proceedings.

The whole of Stark’s legal department was mobilized. All the blame had to be thrown on that idiot Justin.

Stark Industries wouldn’t take the blame for this.

The only unfortunate thing was that the venue belonged to Stark Industries. Tony and the Iron Soldiers had fought a bit in the sky, and some parts of the site had been damaged.

The good news was that no one was dead or heavily wounded, so public opinion was under control.

That was also thanks to Tony and Luke.

One had lured the soldiers away while the other came up with a plan on the side. They hadn’t been forced to fly into a residential area to fight, and had taken down the Air Force Iron Soldiers at an overpass not far from the venue.

The pile of metal lumps was now in Luke’s Space 1.

They weren’t living things and didn’t have the protection of the Destroyer’s magical rune. As long as they were within five meters of Luke, they couldn’t escape being put into the storage space.

That was also why Luke had instructed Tony to lure the soldiers under the overpass.

It was only about ten meters wide under the overpass. The Iron Soldiers subconsciously followed Tony and charged through.

Luke made himself invisible in the middle of the space so that it was five meters on both sides.

It didn’t matter what Tony thought. This guy had a lot of secrets, but had never told them to anyone.

Much less would he tell anyone secrets about his “lifelong rival,” as long as Batman didn’t become his enemy.

Besides, the inventory’s ability wasn’t a superpower, and couldn’t be detected with any equipment.

Tony could only wonder and wouldn’t be able to find any leads to investigate.

After all, he didn’t even know Batman’s real identity, let alone anything else.

Thinking that, Tony sat down on the couch and stared into space.

Pepper paced back and forth as she finished the initial stages of sorting out what happened tonight; only then did she realize that Tony was in a daze.

She walked over and patted his shoulder. “What’s wrong? Are you hurt? Did Jarvis examine you?”

Jarvis said, “Miss Pepper, sir is in good condition and has no unexpected injuries.”

Tony was roused from his thoughts and smiled at her. “You’ve dealt with the follow-up?”

Pepper nodded. “Pretty much, but there are a lot of documents that you’ll need to sign. I’ll have Jarvis report to you later.”

Tony simply nodded and didn’t say anything.

Pepper’s heart ached when she saw him like this. “Don’t dwell on it. Go take a shower and go to bed. Everything can wait until tomorrow. I’m going back first.”

Tony said, “Be careful on the road.”

Watching Pepper get up, he suddenly remembered something. “Where’s Natasha? Why isn’t she with you?”

Logically speaking, she was Pepper’s secretary and personal bodyguard, and should be helping Pepper handle matters.

Pepper slapped her forehead. “Happy called earlier and said that she went to Hammer Industries to look for Ivan. I was so busy that I forgot. I’ll call and ask her about it. You can get some rest.”

She then took out her phone and called Natasha as she walked into the elevator.

When she took the elevator down to the garage, she saw Natasha standing next to the car in the same business suit from before.

Pepper walked over with a concerned expression. “How was it? Was everything alright on your end?”

While Pepper might be the CEO’s assistant in name, she in fact started running the company long ago, and was very good at reading people.

Natasha’s expression was the same as ever, yet there was something odd about it.

Pepper didn’t know what it was, but very likely something had happened while Natasha had been trying to catch Ivan.

Natasha shook her head. “No.”

It couldn’t be a problem since Batman had taken him away.

She didn’t mention that she had tried testing the waters, only to be beaten up by that Black Cat who was Batman’s partner.

It wasn’t like Pepper was her mother; Natasha wouldn’t tell her anything.

It took all her willpower to sit down in the backseat as she endured the burning pain from her backside. She wasn’t angry, however.

Humiliation didn’t exist.

The agents who came out of the Red Room wouldn’t feel humiliated just because they were beaten up.

In fact, she felt that Black Cat had already been going very easy on her; otherwise, why didn’t this “Devil Bone Breaker” just break some of her bones?

Because compared with broken bones, the fleshiest part could make someone feel pain for a long time without causing any substantial damage.

As Happy started the car, Pepper asked, “What did you find over there? Hammer Industries has to take responsibility for this.”

Natasha took out a USB and gave it to her. “This is part of the information copied from their main computer.”

Pepper accepted the USB and found it strange. “Part of it?”

Natasha said, “That’s all I got. Also, I got it from someone else.”

Pepper was stunned. “From your ‘colleagues’?” She couldn’t help but think of Phil.

Natasha glanced at her. “Black Cat.”

Pepper was at a loss for a moment before she suddenly yelled, “Black Cat?”

Happy’s hands jerked with shock, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom couldn’t help but swerve as well. He immediately apologized. “Sorry, don’t mind me.”

Pepper didn’t think much of it. Happy was Tony’s most trusted subordinate. There was no problem with him hearing ordinary secrets like these.

She simply asked excitedly, “Is it that Black Cat who is Batman’s partner?”

Natasha had a strange expression on her face. “As I recall, the entire world knows that Batman’s partner… is Iron Man.”

Pepper choked as her initial surprise and excitement was dealt a blow. She was a little embarrassed. “After all, she’s the first famous female superhero.”

Natasha’s lips twitched. …True. She was just an agent.
