When Su Yi raised an eyebrow,
Wanda blinked and asked, "What is it, Su?"
"Nothing." Su Yi took a breath and spread his hands. "Keep fighting."
The moment he finished speaking,
"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything Iron Man can help with?"
A flamboyant voice rang out.
Tony was wearing... which generation of armor was it again?
No idea. He had forgotten.
It seemed to be the Mark 45 armor, the set equipped with Friday.
Tony was still developing nanotechnology at the time.
So he did not yet have the Mark 46 armor that was stored on a plane and would automatically attach itself to his body with a press of a button.
Bang~
Tony landed in the Mark 45 armor.
He looked over the crowd, at Wanda and Su Yi.
Then he looked at the Lizardman behind them and Gwen, who was rushing over.
Finally, Tony looked at Su Yi and asked,
"Is it already resolved?"
"You came too late. It's pretty much handled already." Su Yi crossed his arms and asked suspiciously, "Don't tell me you came to steal the credit."
Tony was just about to explain,
But Su Yi smiled and said the next moment,
"Just kidding. You didn't come in person, so you must be here to investigate, right?"
"Huh?" Wanda froze. "Tony didn't come?"
Click~
At that moment, the Mark 45 armor's faceplate opened.
Sure enough, there was only empty space inside. Tony himself was not there.
But Tony's own voice, along with his usual gestures, came from the armor.
"All right, you're at least ten times smarter than Captain America."
"I'm still at my villa in Los Angeles. Even flying here from suborbital space would take more than ten minutes."
"So after getting the news, I remotely controlled the armor in Stark Tower."
"In other words, the me you're seeing right now."

Obviously,
Su Yi had seen through Tony's real situation at a glance.
With stars in her eyes,
Su Yi shoved both hands into his pockets, looked at the armor as its faceplate closed, and continued,
"Then hurry up and investigate."
"This lizard showed up days ago, and it still hasn't been dealt with."
"This is clearly a genetic mutation. If someone can control the spread of mutated genes, you superheroes will get criticized into retirement."
Tony's armor nodded.
That was exactly what he thought too.
But before going to investigate, Tony walked over to Su Yi and spoke quietly.
"I currently suspect this is a scandal involving the Osborn Group."
"But whether I use Stark Industries' influence or act as Iron Man, it would be difficult for me to do anything to the Osborn Group."
"So I need your help."
"Use the power of a third party to resolve this crisis."
Well said.
What Tony meant was,
The Osborn Group was huge.
Although Tony could take it down,
No matter how he acted personally, it would only make the Avengers' already precarious position even shakier.
If they got saddled with the blame again when the time came,
The Avengers would be finished.
So Tony wanted someone else to deal with this.
But among the capable people Tony knew who were not part of the Avengers,
There was only Su Yi.
And Spider-Woman!
So Tony wanted Su Yi to help.
Well said.
Su Yi nodded. "Your analysis is pretty good. This really is the best and safest approach."
"Right?" Tony crossed his arms confidently.
But the next moment,
"Why should I help you?"
"I don't have any special abilities, and there's nothing in it for me."
"Can't I even maintain the ordinary nine-to-five life I want?"
Wanda strongly supported Su Yi on this point.
She had been in a situation similar to Su Yi's before.
So when she saw that Su Yi did not want to help,
Wanda stood beside Su Yi and said to Tony,
"Stark! Not everyone wants to be a superhero."
"Su just wants to live a normal life and go to work happily every day."
"So even if you want to find a third party, you should go find Spider-Woman instead of bothering Su!"
After saying that,
Wanda pointed at Gwen, who had just arrived on a nearby rooftop.
"Huh?"
Gwen was dumbfounded.
She had just arrived and someone was already pointing at her?
Wait.
Could she have done something wrong?
In that instant, Gwen gave herself a thorough once-over.
She had not!
Could helping civilians and fighting criminals count as a crime?
But when Wanda pointed at her,
Gwen started to get a little nervous.
What she was mainly worried about was
That her Spider-Gwen image absolutely could not leave a bad impression on Su Yi!
Otherwise, how would she face Su Yi later?
And how could she use this identity to give Su Yi a scare?
