Transformers In Marvel

Chapter 88: Anti-Tony Armor (3)

S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to temporarily take over the city's defense, but encountered unprecedented resistance. For some reason, Gotham City's rejection of external forces has simply exceeded many people's expectations, and it has even reached an exaggerated level.

When Coulson found Downey, he was sitting in the room playing cards with Klein. The room was still a VIP room provided by the Wayne Group. Since he came to Gotham City, Downey has been living in it with a cheeky face. Can't afford it?

"Mr. Downey, long time no see." With a signature smile, Coulson walked in with May. He looked at this luxurious room, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have a good life in Gotham, and the chaos of the outside world is simply two worlds."

Klein showed his last cards. It was two clowns, big and small, and Downey lost again. Now his record is three wins and three losses. He really has to be careful when playing cards with people with high IQs. With Downey's constantly improving memory, he actually played a 50-50 situation with Klein.

"Don't test me, Coulson, you're no less cunning than Fury." Downey threw away the cards in his hand and stretched himself.

Mei kept staring at Klein with vigilant eyes, focusing on Klein's clothes, maybe there was a deadly poison hidden somewhere. You must know that Klein's poisonous gas has even brought down Batman.

"Donny, we want to know about the situation in this city." Coulson was a little serious, "We wanted to intervene here, but we met with huge resistance, which is too strange."

"It's not surprising. Hasn't Gotham been like this for hundreds of years? You can come if you are a businessman, a gangster, or a politician, but only certain forces want to intervene. Individuals assimilate, but they can't assimilate a behemoth like S.H.I.E.L.D.." Downey poured a cup of tea, then poured another for Coulson, ignoring May, who was sitting beside him.

Coulson held the teacup, smiled, and handed it to Mei.

"It seems that you know the city very well, what about our protagonists, Batman and the Joker? Is there a way to find them directly?" Coulson asked.

"I can't help it. These two guys are elusive. It must be wonderful to fight with each other. As far as the current situation is concerned, Batman lost in a muddle."

Coulson and May exchanged a thoughtful look. The intelligence revealed that Downey was secretly selling weapons to the poor people in the old city, and even did some contradictory things like "installment payment". This shows that Downey is planning something that they haven't thought of yet. The essential.

"Then, Mr. Downey, I'm going to speak directly. I think you prefer the open and honest way." Coulson sat up straight, his eyes were indescribably sharp, and he asked each word: "You stayed in this city and refused to leave. What is the reason?"

"I'm doing business for the Stark Group? Can't you find out? I'm a shareholder of the Stark Group!" Downey looked astonished, as if innocent, "I'm arranging manpower to lay out the old city, Falken's villain was killed, but you can't find out?"

Mei felt angry, looking at the innocent and pure face of the other party, she really wanted to give him a fist, and the teacup in her hand hit the other party's face heavily.

"The people you arranged were already thrown into Arkham Prison by Batman. Now sporadic civil resistance organizations have appeared in the old city, and many places have become battlefields." Mei said angrily.

"You mean Anderson... The reason why I chose that guy is because he is a person who can do things. Although he may look like a fool in doing things, he is really a person who is willing to do things." Downey blew on the teacup, Smelling the aroma of tea, "But the man I arranged is not just an Anderson..."

There was a smile on the corner of Coulson's mouth, his eyes fixed on Downey's,

Looking at each other, they all saw each other's persistence.

"You're using the poor in the old city as bargaining chips... Donny, I really don't understand what you're doing. You clearly have a clear purpose, but it makes people feel confused." Coulson said , "You can achieve your goal in the most direct way, no one will fight you desperately for a bunch of criminals."

Downey stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bustling metropolis without looking back, "Colson, do you know the difference between me and Batman Captain America?"

"Appreciate further details."

"When a hard-working civilian is surrounded by ten armed gangsters, I will help him. But when the civilian is surrounded by two unarmed gangsters, I will pass by without seeing it." Even if this civilian is killed in the end, I will pretend not to see it." Downey touched the glass with one hand, as if he wanted to touch the soul of the city with this hand.

Gotham City, the world-famous sin city, seems to be emitting a light that belongs to this city under Downey's gaze.

Coulson and May were thoughtful, and Downey's meaning was clearly expressed. People can't always look forward to the emergence of heroes, they should save themselves.

"Don't even dare to save yourself, and passively accept the oppression day after day. Even if I save them from Falcon today, there will be other gangsters tomorrow. Without gangsters, there will be moral corruption. I just gave them a chance to choose, whether they are willing to seize it, and whether they are willing to take the initiative to use their hands to change their hometown. The right to choose is in their own hands from beginning to end, and no one forces them to do it.”

Downey continued: "It was the civilians who made the decision to take up arms against the gangs, and I gave them access to the arms, that's all."

"It's a cruel idea, but it's very practical. Many people dare not say it so clearly." Coulson said.

"I prefer to call this philosophy 'pragmatic'. Heroes are limited, and superheroes with one enemy against a hundred are even rarer, but there are more than tens of thousands of civilians in need. Instead of pinning hope on 'heroes will save Myself, I just need to endure it in silence. For such a ridiculous thing, it is better to bravely raise your fist to save yourself. The civilians in the old city are used to being bullied, and they know better than anyone the essential difference between forbearance and cowardice."

Downey was talking, took out a cigarette and lit one: "I can think with my toes, Batman must hate me to death now, I wish I could get out of Gotham in the next second. After all, I am an outsider The identity of the poor, instigated the thin and poor to risk their lives with the vicious gangsters. This process is bound to pay tragic casualties, and it may not be successful. This is a heinous act in the eyes of some people. I let a large number of civilians die .The number of people who die in a month now is probably more than the number of people who died in the past few years."

The two sides fell into a long silence, and Coulson was silently chewing on Downey's words. This is not only Downey's views on Gotham City, but also a summary of Downey's behavior style, which is very important information. The two sides chatted casually for a while. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Coulson got up and said goodbye.

Coulson and May took the elevator out of the building all the way. Mei made concealed gestures to the surroundings, and some latent agents silently sneaked into the crowd and disappeared.

"Do you really believe what he said?" May asked suddenly.

"At least I believe in his philosophy. This is where Downey is completely different from the selfless, fearless and on-call heroes in the public image." Coulson said.

Mei sneered. As a global organization, they naturally understand that there are many natural and man-made disasters in the world every year, but how many people have received timely help from superheroes? On the contrary, there are more brave and fearless citizen heroes. They don't have any superpowers, but they have a brave heart, and they draw their swords to help when they see injustice.

"But one thing is certain. What is Donnie planning in the dark? At least it's not as simple as stirring up the backwaters of the old city. He has a deeper layout, which I haven't figured out yet. From now on, put Tang Ni's attention level has been raised to another level."

Coulson looked at the gloomy sky and smelled the coming wind and rain in the air. Batman, the Joker, and Downey all have their own schemes, but they just don't know who will be the winner when everything comes to light? Who will lose a complete defeat?

In this troubled city, after all, we still have to face some storms before we can see the precious sunshine.
