Chapter 1869: Chat Here, Chat There

Fortunately, the old man with the shield was sturdy, and relied on his shield and formidable combat skills to withstand the pressure.

Conversely, Hawkeye moved around nimbly as he used his bow and arrows to clean up the small fry. From time to time, he interfered with Ultron, and was able to shoot dozens of arrows on end.

Dr. Banner? After confirming that the Bat Squad had completed the ‘robbery,’ Natasha immediately had him activate his jets and leave the battlefield.

The Avengers had achieved their objective this time. There was no need to keep the Hulk around. The Avengers were at the center of attention and really couldn’t cause any more trouble.

Just like that, the situation turned into a tug of war, and the Avengers slowly started to lose ground.

However, everybody was very calm. That was because two green dots were returning from the direction that the Quinjet had left in.

Luke and the other two had left earlier to ensure their victory.

After protecting the fighter plane and traveling some distance, Knight had Selina and Big Dipper go back to back up the Avengers.

Not long after, Knight also left the plane.

Knight let everyone know that the bigshot had ‘moved’ the three ‘spoils of war.’ There was no need to worry about Ultron taking them back, so Knight returned as backup.

Ultron also noticed the three people who were returning at full speed, and its eyes flickered red.

It wasn’t an idiot.

It had been very, very angry just now, no thanks to Tony.

However, it also had Jarvis’s attention to detail.

The perfect body had completely flown the coop. Ultron swiftly came back to its senses; it was time to beat a strategic retreat and then carry out Plan B.

There was no point in fighting here.

With its current body, it would be hard for it to defeat the Avengers, much less kill them and the Bat Squad.

That was especially the case when it came to that sly guy who was clearly Batman but was now pretending to be the Dark Knight. Ultron didn’t think that a person like that would come running over to die; it was possible he had some trick up his sleeve.

So, when Big Dipper and Selina arrived, Ultron suddenly stopped.

It was hit by the Avengers’ attacks, but it didn’t fight back. It just said, “Enough, stop.”

At that moment, Big Dipper and Selina dropped from the sky.

Tony was on the same wavelength as his cheap son. Seeing Ultron’s ‘no win, no lose’ situation, he drew back and said, “Stop.”

Hearing that, the Avengers retreated, but continued to surround Ultron.

Big Dipper and Black Cat had returned; it was their side that had the upper hand.

Even if Ultron wanted to take everyone down with it, it wouldn’t be able to get rid of these people who were protected by armor.

This besiegement was just to prevent it from charging into the city and going on a killing spree.

However, Natasha and Hawkeye looked at Luke and Selina; these two might not necessarily listen to the tycoon.

In the end, they saw Luke sheath his swords and cross his arms, as if ready to listen attentively (watch a show).

Who knew, in this father-and-son story, maybe they would bare their hearts to each other after fighting it out, and reconcile.

Although it was unlikely, it was still worth watching a son berate his father in public and declare he would come back in 30 years to show him up.

Selina also tilted her head and observed Ultron.

The fight with Ultron had happened too fast earlier, and she hadn’t paid attention to the appearance of this cheap son of the tycoon’s.

For one moment, the scene was silent.

Ultron looked around, and its gaze finally fell on its cheap father. “In the end, I am alone.”

“So, you want us to look at you?” Tony opened his mask to reveal his standard mocking, disdainful smile — in short, a smile like that would very easily get an ordinary person beaten up.

Ultron’s eyes flickered red, but it didn’t reply. It raised its head and looked at the sky. “I think about meteors a lot. They’re so pure. Boom~ the end, and then it starts again: A brand new world for the new man to rebuild.”

It sounded so melancholy, like a poet or a philosopher. Everybody found it strange.

It paused for a moment. “I am that new man, that new, perfect man. When this world looked to the sky, it would have seen hope and mercy. But because of you, it will see horror.”

Tony smiled again. “Really? I don’t think I see anything, whether it’s perfection, new man, or mercy.”

Ultron lowered its head and looked at Tony fixedly. “You’ve wounded me. You want to make me revere you. But, like you humans say, what doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger!”

As soon as Ultron said that, everybody’s expressions changed, and they stepped back.

Bright orange light shot out of Ultron’s chest and, with a loud bang, the body exploded.

After the explosion, everybody looked at the half of Ultron’s head and one eye which remained. For one moment, they just looked at each other.

Luke broke the silence with a sigh. “Well, that really was boom~ the end!”

Selina played along. “Now that this is over, shouldn’t we prepare for the upcoming fight?”

What the two said broke through everyone else’s musings on the meaning behind Ultron’s words.

This was the center of South Korea, not their own backyard.

Whatever they were thinking, they could talk about it when they got back.

Knight was late to the party, but Luke had finished watching the show as Big Dipper, and didn’t feel any regret.

After a brief discussion, the Avengers flew back on the Quinjet.

The three members of the Bat Squad stayed behind to clean up the mess.

After they entered the building, Selina went offline.

Luke put away the android Selina had been using, then had the Big Dipper clone clean up the wreckage.

By the time the Seoul police apprehensively entered the area half an hour later, both of Luke’s clones had already left.

Big Dipper returned to the base, but Knight didn’t leave Seoul. Instead, he wandered around in starts and stops before he finally entered Guryong Village in the Gangnam district.

Gangnam had a very capitalist style and Guryong Village also had a capitalist attitude.

While the former was affluent and extravagant, the latter was cold and heartless.

They were in the same area, but the living conditions were worlds apart.

Luke, who was invisible, simply walked past the residents of the shantytown and finally came to a stop in front of a rundown shack on a hillside.

He knocked lightly on the door, then used a ‘secret transmission’ to say to the person inside, “Miss Maximoff, this is the Dark Knight. I’m here to nego… to have a chat.”

He was so used to negotiating with people that the word had almost slipped out without thinking.

The emotions of the people in the room were unstable. It was better to use the gentler word, “chat.”

With his keen hearing, he heard the two people inside suddenly hold their breaths as their hearts raced.

Luke said calmly, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to beat you up. At least, not until we’re done talking.”

After that? That was a different matter.

Batman’s negotiations were always out of the ordinary.
