Chapter 17: The Reality of the World
Seeing Tony's appearance, Edward's heart felt a burst of relief for no reason. Whether it's Spider-Man or Iron Man, it's the existence of a top-notch poisonous tongue. In this aspect, overwhelm the other party, that sense of accomplishment, haha, don't be too sour.
"I don't know if I want to be the man who wants to be the king of poisonous tongues." In an instant, I vomited a groove. "By the way, there's Deadpool, the man who is known as the king of mouth cannons."
Well, Edward is funny again.
The mood is refreshing, the spirit is also good, and even the words are full of lightness.
"Mr. Tony Stark, you are important, for many people in this world, you have a problem, and it must not be what these people want to see."
Edward is right, Tony Stark is entangled in countless interests. His safety, even many people, is more concerned than himself.
Stark Group is rich and valuable. But without Tony, then the Stark Group is nothing!
Genius inventor!
Without Stark, Tony could start one again. And without Tony, Stark would no longer be Stark.
That's where he learns.
There are many ways to survive in this world. In the Marvel world, Tony Stark's way of survival is very meaningful for him.
Thoughts flickered in my heart, and my mouth never stopped.
"It's been seven minutes since the accident, presumably, after receiving your call, Mr. Stark, your people should be coming soon." Edward, his eyes cautiously glanced at the desolate streets around him, and then, with interest, looked at Tony.
"I just don't know, when your people come, will you be in danger? I'm curious. ”
"What do you mean?!" The flirtatious expression on Tony's face had long since disappeared, and he looked at Edward with a wary expression, at the boy who suddenly appeared next to him.
Looking at Tony with a wary face in front of him, Edward didn't react in any other way, which seemed normal to him. Because, he knows, the playboy in front of him has been wary of him from the beginning.
"Hehe, presumably Mr. Stark, must be guessing my identity now, right? My heart was full of doubts. ”
"Well, let me think about it, Mr. Stark must be thinking in his heart now: who am I, who is behind me, what is the purpose of the force I am, or the force behind me......"
"Huh." As he spoke, Edward couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it, hehe." Ignoring Tony's iron-blue face, Edward didn't have the slightest embarrassment in his words.
"By the way, Mr. Stark, I don't know if you thought in your heart that everything that happened in front of you was arranged in advance?!" A pair of eyes, full of curiosity, looking at Tony.
"Well, ah......"
"And ......"
……
It is clear that Edward has entered the mode of self-talk on his own. On the other hand, Tony Stark's heart is not very good. A face grew darker and darker, and his eyes flashed with annoyance.
"Well, everything just said, well, was a joke." Edward shrugged and said something that made Tony angry.
"Hmph, that's not funny at all." With a dark face, Tony said stiffly, and then, ignoring Edward.
Looking at Tony's pitch-black face, Edward felt a lot less suppressed in his heart. It's getting more and more energetic. Well, in fact, Edward said all this to scare the other party.
If you really want to make a move on Tony, he can't, and he doesn't dare!
This is the real world, and he knows how terrible Tony Stark in front of him is in this country and has influence in this world.
Now he is an ant. It can be easily run over by someone. Relying on some of your own cleverness, it's okay to make a little money and complain, if it really endangers the interests of some people. They definitely wouldn't mind crushing an ant.
It's a real world. All he can do is to be careful, live with his tail between his legs, and slowly wait for his growth.
It doesn't matter if you spit out and complain occasionally, but you will never do brain-dead things. He won't forget how he died in his previous life.
Not to mention to the detriment of other people's interests. It is himself, and before he has enough strength, he himself cannot show the interests of making people's hearts move.
He cherishes his little life, and he wants to live.
Now he's just a little ant. It can be said that opposite him, Tony, can easily crush himself, sneeze at will, and he can die countless times.
This is the right of the privileged class.
It's a whole world, and it's not just superheroes, superpowers, or other mutants. There are more rich people, aristocrats, and high-level people who hold power, and there is the same stable composition of class interests here as in previous lives.
This is not a superhero movie, this is a real world where social class forces exist.
Here, the class interests that exist in the real world are not even the slightest bit of a superhero.
All this is the essence of society that Edward understood after his death in his previous life.
Before you have the power to destroy the world. Your own wealth, your fame, your power, your status, all this is false, and you can only do what you want if you transform it into class power that you can mobilize.
And in this life, he wants to be part of the interests of the class. Like Tony Stark in front of him, a representative of an interest group. It is even possible to go further and become a representative of class interests.
"And before that, you have to deal with your own physical troubles." Thinking of the changes in his body, Edward's heart was heavy.
Thinking in his heart, Edward had no interest in talking, and the two stayed silent.
Edward and Tony hide in a small alley between the two houses, where multiple trash cans are placed, as is the case in several scenes in the film. Because of the remote location, the two of them can hide here safely. At this time, the thugs outside didn't have time to pay attention here.
Gunshots rang out in the streets, crashes, explosions, echoing through this somewhat deserted street. Listening to the gunfire around them, both Tony and Edward lost interest in talking, silently thinking about their own thoughts.
For a moment, there was some silence between the two.
On the other side, seeing that the other party had seen through it, he was not pretending, and his left hand was constantly rubbing the watch on his right wrist, as if this would bring him more security.
