Chapter 19: Edward's Equivalent Exchange
Seeing this strange scene, Tony Stark couldn't help but be attracted, and looked at the cheque floating over with a pair of eyes.
In an instant, Edward made a mistake at his feet, stepped out, came to Tony's side, grabbed Tony with his right hand, and with a gentle push, a wave of potential poured out, acting on Tony Stark's body.
On the other hand, although Tony Stark and his best efforts to guard against Edward, it didn't work at all, and he was distracted for a moment.
Edward's hand pushed against him, and then he felt a force like layers of waves, gently hugging him, and his body involuntarily fell backwards, exiting the alley, and appearing on the street.
Five robbers, holding hostages in their hands, hid behind bunkers and hid. At this time, their vehicle was damaged, and they couldn't run the car at all, so it was a good choice to take a hostage to negotiate.
The five robbers, holding hostages in their hands, were highly nervous, their whole bodies on guard, and their eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings. Slowly waiting for the police to appear.
A figure appeared in sight.
"Hah, God favor!" Seeing the figure appearing, the eyes of the robber boss suddenly brightened and were full of ecstasy.
"Hound dog, go get that guy, we need hostages!!" Reaching out, that direction was where Tony and Edward were hiding.
On the corner of the street, a figure appeared. The two sides are not far apart, about one hundred and fifty meters apart. The people present were all veterans with excellent eyesight, and everyone's eyes lit up at the sight of that familiar figure.
There was a flash of greed in his eyes.
Although, the figure only appeared for a moment, and then, ran back. But they couldn't be mistaken, that man was Tony Stark, a super-rich man.
They robbed banks, for what, money.
And Tony Stark, what's there? Rich!!
"You know what you're doing!!" Back in the alley, Tony's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he looked at Edward and said coldly.
At this time, Tony Stark was in an extremely unhappy mood, and his heart was full of anger. Anyone who is used as bait will not feel comfortable. Not to mention him Tony Stark.
That's right, Edward pushed Tony Stark out just to be a decoy.
For a group of outlaws who are in the hunt for money, a super-rich man like Tony Stark is definitely a decoy that is hard to resist.
"I want to save my brother and sister." Edward spoke calmly, then closed his eyes.
"I didn't expect that when I came out, I offended Iron Man!" Edward, who closed his eyes, flickered with all kinds of thoughts in his heart.
Tony Stark, the controller of the Stark Group, looking at the entire Marvel world, on the earth, Tony Stark is definitely a number of rich people, and behind him is even more behind, the relationship is complicated, for Edward, who wants to live in peace in this world, having such an ally is definitely beneficial and harmless.
It can be said that the opportunity is extremely rare now.
In this world, at the present time, what Tony Stark is like, Edward has a certain understanding. If nothing else, throwing people alone on the rooftop overnight, and finally forcing them to become desperate warriors, Tony Stark's bastard personality can be seen.
If it weren't for the special situation now, Edward didn't think that Tony Stark would have too much to do with him.
Edward, who had a clear understanding of social reality, knew that money did not guarantee his safety. When one's own strength cannot ignore everything, it is one's most powerful protection network to form an intricate network of interests linked by money and interests.
You need to weave your own network of interests to protect your own interests. And there's an opportunity in front of you. It can be said that if you catch the line of Tony Stark, it will definitely help you in your future plans.
It's just that I didn't expect that things were going in the other direction. Now Edward has offended Tony Stark. It offended the future Iron Man even more.
If you want to become friends in the future, this kind of thing may be possible, but the chances are extremely slim. After all, people who will take their lives as bait as friends are either in their own problems or in an illusory fairy tale. And in the real world, this situation can only be hehe.
He doesn't regret it, though.
He needs to save the people he cares about. As for the others, in Edward's eyes, the difference is only a difference in value, which can be exchanged.
Just like before, trading with Tony. In fact, Edward didn't care. It's like Tony's life is only worth $10,000 in Edward's heart, so the price of the transaction is $10,000.
And when Tony said that his life was worth a promise, Edward agreed, so Tony Stark's life became a promise.
And now, in front of his brother and sister, Tony Stark has a new value, that is, as a bait!
The equivalent exchange that was made?
"I believe in the equivalent exchange in my own heart."
Thinking of this, Edward's face dissipated solemnly, and a mild, sunny smile hung on. An extremely false smile of goodwill.
Looking at the gentle smile on the face of the boy in front of him, Tony Stark sensed the piercing indifference, that kind of indifference, different. Familiar and unfamiliar.
It's like he's looking at the goods himself. It doesn't matter if it's good or evil, it doesn't matter what you like, it's just a difference in value. Thinking of this, Tony Stark's face was even more unsightly.
On the other hand, Edward was carefully sensing the situation around him. If he had the ability to read minds and knew what Tony Stark was thinking at this time, he would definitely have a new understanding of this playboy.
That's right, coming to this world, Edward has always been in an extremely abnormal state, both mentally and psychologically.
It can be said that in this world, except for a limited number of people. The rest of the people are completely the same as the NPCs in the game in Edward's eyes, and this state, in the future, I don't know whether it is good or bad.
However, the impact on Edward now is indeed very large. That is, Edward lacks the standards and principles for getting along with other people. Because these people are all the same in his eyes.
In order to solve this problem, Edward constructed a new set of principles in his mind.
Equivalent exchange!
Divide all the people in this world into various values in their own hearts, and then use them as the basis for treating each other according to their own values.
Fair and indifferent.
This is the equivalent exchange that belongs to Edward himself.
