Chapter 719: Running Away After a Fight Is Exciting
After seeing Professor Lawrence’s warning about the earthquake, a large gang of robbers were going to seize the moment after the earthquake to destroy the bank’s vault.
For this huge job, they had sent more than fifty people.
Claire had initially been tagging along while Selina was on duty, but Elsa suddenly called and said that emergency backup was required elsewhere.
Selina hadn’t planned to go, but Claire didn’t want to become a burden. She repeatedly promised that she would follow the main unit carefully and wouldn’t mess around.
In the end, Selina chose to leave.
Firstly, it was Elsa who had asked, and Selina had to go in Luke’s place.
Secondly, since Gold Nugget was protecting the little monkey, it was safe. Selina could also confirm everything about the little monkey through the connection between Gold Nugget’s clones.
Finally, she also asked Luke in a text, and he agreed.
Humans needed to grow.
Luke had made the best preparations for his sister’s growth, and couldn’t interfere any further.
Not long after Selina left, Claire’s patrol squad encountered the robbers, and the two parties immediately started fighting.
In fact, the extremely busy patrol officers didn’t want to fight at all, but they couldn’t just watch the robbers blow up the vault and move the money.
The robbers weren’t willing to let go of their prize, so they started fighting at the bank entrance.
A team of ten patrol officers and eight students was very weak against fifty robbers. A small portion of the robbers locked them down far from the bank entrance.
Karen had been a step too slow when she was moving and got stuck behind a car.
In order to protect her, Claire was also stuck behind the car.
They could only lean back against the engine and didn’t dare fight back, for fear of attracting the criminals’ gunfire.
The robbers were too focused on the vault to continue closing in.
She and Karen were hiding to one side of the area of conflict. It wasn’t dangerous, and Claire didn’t call Luke over to beat them up.
The patrol officers were severely outnumbered, and couldn’t provide enough firepower to cover the girls’ escape from behind the car.
It was precisely that moment when Tony rushed over to snatch heads after finding this place through the patrol officers’ request for backup.
When Tony’s silver armor fell from the sky, Karen was stunned for a moment before she exclaimed, “Wow, this iron man is so handsome!”
Claire had agreed at the time.
But a moment later, a black giant fell from the sky, and her attention was no longer on the silver figure.
Mecha or robots were mostly a man’s romance.
While Batman’s mysterious and heroic temperament was mostly a woman’s romance.
This was purely a difference in taste between men and women.
That was why when Batman appeared, he suppressed Tony, who had yet to make a name for himself, with the popularity and fame he had accumulated.
Even if Tony’s armor was more impressive, this was how things were.
When Luke rushed over in the rain of bullets and protected the little monkey and her pal Karen as he brought them to safety, the scales tipped even more obviously.
Except for his family, Tony had never cared for any women.
Except for some unique ones, most beauties were just means for him to pass the time.
He was too busy snatching heads to bother with the two police officers.
In any case, they had cover, and after he took down all the robbers, the police officers would all be safe.
So, Tony essentially had the typical guy mentality.
It was just that he was rich and had a flamboyant temperament, which many women ignored or even fell for a little.
Luke was the same, but that was his sister.
Naturally, he also saved Karen in passing.
At that moment, two figures – one silver and one black – shuttled back and forth at the intersection where the bank was located. One was in the sky and the other jumped around on the walls.
These two untouchable vigilantes who had disrupted the operation completely destroyed the morale of the robbers.
Tony’s plan to take down the robbers was flawless. With the advantage of being the first to arrive, he took down almost forty robbers.
Later, Luke helped his sister and Karen escape danger, and only got ten men.
The redundant police officers fired relentlessly and also took down two or three criminals.
At that moment, the battle came to an end.
Because of the overload on his body, Tony had turned on energy-saving mode, and his combat style was similar to Luke’s. He used the armor’s super strength and defense to jump around the battlefield and hit the robbers in the head with his fingers.
He didn’t forget to remind Luke, “Charcoal Head, I’m ahead of you.”
Luke’s hand brushed against his waist and he threw out two spinning shadows.
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
With two screams, two robbers who had been about to sneak out their guns were cut by the bat darts.
“I’m still in the lead,” Luke said indifferently as he caught the two returning darts.
The two bat darts spun on his fingertips before he put them back at his waist.
His posture was as natural and handsome as a cowboy who had just finished shooting.
“WTF!” Tony felt that his honor in a particular area of specialty had been severely tarnished.
But there was nothing he could do. His armor was only equipped with a pulse cannon, and he didn’t dare use it recklessly.
He could only decide that he had to perfect Mark 1 as soon as possible when he got back. At the same time, he had to start developing the other Marks 2, 3, 4, and 5 that would be needed in the future.
Next time, he absolutely wouldn’t let this guy act cool in front of him again!
Thinking that, he flew at the wall of the bank and smashed through it. He grabbed the last robber hiding in the bank and threw him out of the hole.
Bang!
Even though this unlucky, trembling robber had been hiding in one corner of the bank, he couldn’t escape his fate. A vexed tycoon smashed him into the roof of a nearby car so that he could no longer move.
The battle ended, and the score was even.
Looking at Luke, Tony suddenly said, “Now, let’s go one round.”
With that, he lunged at Luke.
Luke chuckled as he watched the iron man jump over. Only when the man was in front of him did he raise his hands to block Tony’s arm.
Tony was about to grab Luke’s hands, when he felt the black giant slide past him in an extremely smooth manner. The two arms that were blocking him also fell away at contact. It was followed by an enormous force which made him spin half a circle.
He was then kicked hard in the butt and was sent flying.
Bang!
Following in the last criminal’s footsteps, Tony smashed into a car ten meters away.
Just now, Luke had blocked, slid to the side, and kicked out. His three movements were smooth and fluid, as he firmly sent the tycoon flying all in one breath.
He said, “Someone in the sky is waiting to capture you for research. No fighting today.” He then dashed into a nearby alley.
Tony suddenly climbed off the car and yelled in dissatisfaction, “Hey, you want to run after hitting me? What do you mean?” He obediently went after Luke.
