Chapter 33: Reminiscences of the Past
Late at night, an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Tokyo.
The group sat around the campfire with masks, and the famous playboy, Tony Stark, was tied to the side with a bandage and a black sock in his mouth, and could only stare at everyone with wide eyes.
Luke Cage, with both hands bandaged, sat stupidly on a stool, waiting for Matt to feed.
Luke also sat on the stool, but he was in good spirits, with a shallow smile on his face, but he couldn't see it with his mask, and he looked at Tony with great satisfaction from time to time.
The remaining three were Matt and Fox unharmed.
"Luke, we're clear."
Matt laughed suddenly.
"What's clear?"
On the contrary, Luke was a little confused.
"One of us at a time, I saved Fox, you saved Erica, and it's all over now."
Ma said pointedly.
"This one!"
Only then did Luke react, and it was Matt who saved Fox when Obadiah fired the missile at Fawkes, so there was a clear statement.
Luke nodded, unconsciously looking at Fawkes, who glared at Luke and continued his roasting work.
"Uh-huh, it's clear."
Luke nodded, and remembered the horizontal knife that Fox had given him, probably taken away by the police chasing after him.
"And what about him?"
Fawkes asked, looking at Tony Stark, who was tied to the mummy.
"Him?"
Everyone looked at Tony, and Tony found that everyone's eyes were converging, and he struggled for a while, and made a non-stop "hmm" sound.
"This is our cash cow, rich man!"
Luke gritted his teeth and said, the 500 million dollars were scattered by Tony's cannon, plus the attack of Obadiah in the back, which directly made Luke flee to Tokyo empty-handed, if he didn't get all these costs back from Tony Stark!
Luke doesn't mind being a bad guy and sends him back to the West!
"Mmmmmm
Tony was still struggling.
"Why don't we hear what he has to say?"
Erica asked, looking at the crowd.
"Don't," Luke decisively refused, "Eighty percent is useless bullshit again, he's pissed me off, and if he doesn't pay the price, I'll let him disappear from here!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Tony struggled even harder, and the anger in his eyes was obvious, and he wanted to rush over and kill Luke with his head.
Luke smiled viciously, then looked at Matt, who nodded slightly, and then Luke got up and left, walking upstairs.
After thinking about it, Fox also got up and left. Only the three of Matt were left downstairs.
When Luke and Fawkes died down, Matt reached out and pulled the sock from Tony's mouth.
"You ——!"
Matt quickly reached out to cover Tony's mouth, and then whispered, "You don't want to eat stinky socks again, do you?" ”
Tony's angry scolding was swallowed, but his eyes were still fierce, and Matt let go of his hand and signaled that Tony could speak.
"Who the hell are you! The Ten Rings Gang? Japanese gangsters? Still fucking terrorists! ”
The three of them smiled silently, which made Tony Stark a little confused.
"What do you mean? Don't speak English? ”
Matt shook his head slightly, looked at the fire on the side with sunglasses, and said, "Seriously, we should be considered vigilantes." ”
"Vigilantes? Kidnapping vigilantes? ”
Tony's tone was full of mockery, and there was a little more disdain in his eyes, but he wasn't too sarcastic, now that the armor wasn't around, he wouldn't bow his head, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to anger the bandits who kidnapped him.
"The kidnapping of you was a last resort, because of your presence, our operations were repeatedly blocked, or failed, and we also fled from New York to Tokyo."
"Otherwise, why would we save you?"
Matt replied.
Tony's eyelids jumped, he looked down at the bandages on his body, then at Luke Cage, who was smirking on the side, and said, "Why did you save me?" ”
While asking, Tony also remembers that it was the black man in front of him who held himself down and used himself as his human shield to resist the missile explosion.
Matt said: "Do you remember the scene at that time? ”
"Of course I do!" Tony took a deep look at the black man with his arms covered in bandages and plasters on the side, and said angrily, "This damn nigga is actually using me as a shield!" ”
Matt smiled, "What about before, what do you remember?" ”
Tony frowned, "I just remember the missile coming, and then-"
"Whose missiles? Tony Stark, whose missile? ”
Matt looked at Tony, and although his eyes were closed under the mask, Tony could still feel him watching him.
Tony shuddered, opened his mouth, and said nothing.
"It's Obadiah, your most respected uncle."
Matt finished speaking for him. "In fact, the terrorists who kidnapped you in the Middle East were also instructed by him, but I didn't expect you to escape."
"What about the evidence?"
Tony asked as he returned to his normal face.
Matt ignored it, but continued: "We lied that we had videos of Obadiah and the terrorists, so we lured Obadiah to appear on the grounds of 500 million, maybe you also noticed that Obadiah must not have said why he was blackmailed, right?" ”
Tony didn't say anything, Obadiah really didn't say anything, and he subconsciously ignored the clumsy horse's feet at the time.
"Of course, we do need that money, and as you can see, we can only hide here now, and those who are in the dark are enjoying the prosperity."
"I just didn't expect you to show up again and again, not only disrupting our plans, but also making us almost die."
Tony thought of the black man next to him and the man just now, his body was a little sluggish, as if he had been hurt.
After thinking about it, Tony moved his lips and said, "What about Obadia?" ”
Matt shook his head, "Dead, killed by us, he's wearing armor about the same as yours, but he's much bigger than you, and he's rough, and he doesn't have that of you on his chest." ”
Tony looked at his reactor, Obadiah's original armor that should have been his previous exile in the Middle East, but he didn't expect it to be retrieved by him.
The conversation between the two stopped for a moment, only the flames still crackled, and after a long time, Matt said, "For our safety, we can't let you go, and we even need to ask for your ransom." ”
Hearing this, Tony raised his eyebrows, "You still say it's not a kidnapping?" ”
"Yes, but we do need money."
Matt was quite twisted when he said this, but it couldn't be helped, this was Luke's request.
"We've texted your secretary, as soon as the ransom arrives, you're ready to leave."
Matt pushed the mask off his face.
Tony frowned, "How much did you want?" ”
"You should have asked him how much he wanted."
“... How much did he want? ”
"Not much, 2 billion!"
