Chapter 822: One Game? Three, Five, Seven Rounds!

Tony Stark had just been attacked, and Happy didn’t dare be careless.

Whatever relationship Batman and Pepper had, had nothing to do with him.

Batman beating up hooligans together with the tycoon wasn’t enough for Happy to let down his professional vigilance.

Pepper paused, and her hand on the car door stopped.

But before the two people in the car could react, Batman gestured at them from in front of the car. He took a running leap, and then glided toward the seaside villa.

Stunned for a moment, both of them then heaved sighs of relief.

This was one of Batman’s signature moves: taking off from the ground and gliding at low altitudes. Both of them had seen it many times.

Especially Pepper, who would read news on Batman whenever she had the time.

Her intuition told her that this truly was Batman himself.

When the car reached the villa, the black figure was already standing at the door.

This time, Pepper got out, and Happy didn’t say anything else.

But he had already informed Tony and the bodyguards at the villa. At the very least, the tycoon would be prepared…

Fine, he might be overthinking it. Happy smiled bitterly.

He saw Tony appear at the door of the villa and look at Batman, who was a few steps away.

At that distance, if Batman wanted to KO Tony, he only needed to take one step and punch him.

Tony, however, was very calm.

After the ordeal in Afghanistan, his temperament had changed and he was much more mature.

Now that he saw Batman, he was far less excited than he had expected, and more curious instead.

He suddenly sighed with emotion; he was no longer the Tony from before.

Luke tilted his head and looked at the bodyguards next to them as well as the two who were at vantage points. He asked, “Are you sure you need them here?”

Tony raised an eyebrow. “Shall we go inside?”

Luke shook his head decisively.

This guy’s house had Jarvis in it.

Even in Luke’s little villa, Little Snail could operate a lot of surveillance equipment. Luke didn’t want to enter Tony’s nest and give Tony a chance to study him.

Just like right now; Tony was being very dishonest.

Ever since Luke appeared at the door, his anti-electronic surveillance system had been constantly warning him that there were many detection devices spying on him.

“Let’s go to the beach,” said Luke. “We need to talk in private.”

Saying that, he looked at the woman who had quietly walked up behind Tony and added, “Miss Potts can come with us.”

Tony snorted unhappily. “Why are you dragging her along?”

Luke said, “Maybe it’s because with a beautiful lady like her around, I can control the urge to beat you up?”

Tony snorted. “Are you trying to piss me off?”

Luke said, “Forget it. I don’t expect anything from you, given your shi*tty personality. Let’s just be straightforward.”

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and grabbed Tony with one hand and Pepper with the other, making her cry out in surprise.

Luke ran ten meters away and jumped over the guardrail with the both of them, gliding down to the beach below the villa.

Happy was alarmed, but Batman’s mechanical voice then rang out. “I’m taking Mr. Tony and Miss Pepper to the beach for a heart-to-heart. You stay here.”

None of the bodyguards dared to attack.

Batman was holding their big boss and second boss in each hand.

Everybody knew that Batman’s armor was bulletproof, but Tony and Pepper certainly weren’t.

Happy ran to the railing at the edge of the villa and looked down, only to see that Luke had already landed on the edge of the beach dozens of meters away.

But he could roughly see what was going on with the three of them from here.

Batman had already put Tony and Pepper down and told Pepper to not move. He then picked Tony up and moved twenty meters to the side before putting him down.

“Happy, should we do something?” asked a bodyguard from up high.

The sniper rifle in his hand had been custom-made. Electric bullets could stun and subdue opponents, but against the famous Batman, he wasn’t confident at all.

Happy frowned. “Stay alert. Don’t act without my permission.”

They couldn’t stop Batman now.

Tony had been in a lot of trouble recently. It would be best if he didn’t make any big headlines.

Besides, Happy had cleaned up after the tycoon before, so he knew that the tycoon was Iron Man and had some ties with Batman.

Tony shouldn’t be in too much danger.

Luke didn’t care about the bodyguards or even Pepper.

Putting Tony down, he said, “She doesn’t know that you’re Iron Man, right?”

Tony’s eyes widened. “What?”

It was so loud that even Pepper, who was twenty meters away, heard it.

Luke didn’t think much of it. “Do you think that just because you’re smart, I won’t be able to investigate your identity in return?”

Tony calmed down. “You’re overthinking it. I’m not Iron Man.”

Luke said, “Oh, that might be because your big metal toy hasn’t been fixed yet. Don’t tell me it’s from when you fell from the sky last time?”

Tony’s face darkened. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Luke didn’t waste any more time talking to him. “Fine. I could just knock you out now and carry you into the villa, and you won’t be able to hide anything in your workshop. Forget your security system, Miss Pepper will definitely let me in after you pass out.”

Tony’s mouth moved, but he didn’t dare say anything.

He didn’t dare bet on Batman knocking him out. In any case, it wouldn’t be a big injury.

Also, if Batman did that in front of the bodyguards and Pepper, it would only be Tony who would be embarrassed.

“Alright, let’s get down to business. Pick a side for the coin I’m holding. If you win, I’ll give you a little gift.” A coin appeared in Luke’s hand.

Tony had a strange expression. “Are you a kid?”

Luke said, “Don’t regret it if you don’t.”

Tony said, “I’ll take the bet.”

A moment later, Luke’s face was twitching inside his helmet.

There was indeed something wrong with this tycoon’s luck.

After the coin was tossed several times, Tony grew impatient.

Luke had no choice but to turn one round into two out of three, and then three out of five…

Finally, he had to change it to four out of seven, and the score was finally four to three.

Tony finally achieved a net victory.

At that point, he and Luke were completely even, and the tycoon’s list of abilities in the system turned gray.

It was no wonder that while the guy had developed the Iron Man Armor in advance, he still hadn’t been able to avoid this kidnapping.

In addition, Obadiah’s attitude toward Tony had probably also changed.

Perhaps it was because Tony’s luck had gotten a little worse recently, but Obadiah had brought forward his scheme.

Thus, it was only 2004, but Obadiah had already decided to act and kill Tony.

Tony was a little impatient. “It hasn’t been that long since we last met, so why are you more childish? Do we need to play a coin toss for so long?”
