The Eden members surrounding them were secretly observing Michelle and Raiden.
When they heard Michelle ask Raiden to use another method to offset the two million dollars, they couldn't help but have a guess. What's more important than money? It's people!
Has God finally sent down his messenger to subdue this woman?
Delan prayed with his hands crossed nearby.
But it must be said that this metaphor was quite fitting. Raiden performance was truly as miraculous as God messenger...
Michelle was a woman both loved and hated by Delan and the others. She was the founder of the town, as well as its administrator. It was Michelle who provided them with a safe haven.
Initially, Michelle and a few others built a simple bar in this barren and chaotic desert.
However, no one took Michelle and her group seriously. The organizations roaming this land, those who considered themselves local emperors, treated this bar like a lamb.
But Michelle repaid everyone who underestimated them with an iron-fisted counterattack and cruel methods. The terrorist organization that treated this land as their private domain was blown to pieces overnight.
So later, no one came to cause trouble anymore, and the bar slowly began to have customers.
And later, gradually some people who came to drink found that the bar seemed to be a very safe place.
Within a radius of tens of kilometers around the bar, there was no conflict or war. When drinking at the bar, even if one got drunk, they could still see the sun the next day.
Soon, the first person built a house next to the bar...
Later, more and more houses were established around the bar, and the people living here would consciously report to Michelle, who became their leader.
But in addition to their gratitude and obedience to Michelle, they also hated this woman...
She was too damn violent!
A woman doing things without leaving any respect for the men. But fortunately, in the Middle East respect wasn't worth much.
Just as it seemed someone was finally going to subdue Michelle, Tony suddenly interjected
"It's just two million? I'll pay it!"
Hearing this answer, even Michelle was a bit stunned.
Raiden quickly looked at Tony.
Brother, are you still drunk?
The Eden members surrounding them glared at Tony angrily.
Is being rich so great? Can you do whatever you want just because you have money?
Indeed, Tony proved with actions that having money really allows you to do whatever you want. If not, it only means you don't have enough money.
Michelle frowned slightly, but then slowly relaxed. After all, two million dollars was actually quite a good choice.
"Alright, card or cash?" Michelle asked Tony.
"Give me an account number, I'll transfer the money to you" Tony said calmly.
"Okay." Michelle nodded.
"Wait a moment!" Raiden suddenly said. Raiden first glanced at Tony, then said to Michelle.
"Two million, I can give it to you but I have some conditions."
"Conditions? How about it, do you want people?" Michelle bit her lip and smiled slightly. At this moment, she became a bit nervous instead.
Raiden shook his head and said.
"I want you to give me all the information about terrorist organizations that you know."
Michelle looked into Raiden eyes, saw that Raiden didn't seem to be joking, then gave an awkward smile and nodded, saying.
"Two million dollars to buy this intelligence... that's enough. Wait here, I'll go get it for you."
With that, Michelle turned and walked towards the room behind the liquor cabinet. However, as she was walking, Michelle casually picked up a glass and threw it towards the hall outside, angrily scolding.
"What are you all looking at!"
The people eavesdropping outside quickly dispersed.
Raiden, Tony, and Yinsen, sitting in front of the liquor cabinet looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
However, at this moment, Yinsen, who hadn't said much until now, spoke up.
"Raiden, what do you want that information for?"
Yinsen hadn't spoken up before, mainly because Tony and the others had been talking about money, and Yinsen was a man who could proudly say. "I have no interest in money."
Now, with Michelle gone, Yinsen curiously asked Raiden.
"Didn't I say we were going to be superheroes?" Raiden looked at Yinsen and blinked.
"Superheroes?" Tony said somewhat uncertainly.
"Yeah, like catching small-time bike thieves, helping lost old ladies, oh, maybe that sweet old lady would even buy me a pizza to eat" Raiden said, smiling at Tony and Yinsen.
Tony said with a straight face.
"Are you sure that's what superheroes are supposed to do? I feel like that's more like being a friendly super-neighbor."
"Oh alright" Raiden said, shaking his head.
"Then how about we go and take down all the terrorist organizations in the Middle East in one fell swoop?"
"Oh! I like that idea" Tony agreed.
Yinsen looked at the two of them and shook his head helplessly.
"Then let's go back home later, and you can put on the armor I prepared for you" Tony said, looking at Raiden.
Raiden waved his hand, and a bottle of liquor flew over from the cabinet. Raiden opened the bottle, poured himself a glass, and then asked Tony.
"Tony, why should I wear that armor?"
"Because... because... because this armor can help you become a superhero... I thought you would need this armor..." Tony hesitated, then patted his chest, and the armor made a crisp and loud sound.
"No, Tony" Raiden raised his right hand, and three miraculous powers - fire, frost, and lightning - simultaneously appeared in Raiden's hand.
"This is my power, Tony and the Iron Man armor is your power. Neither Yinsen nor I are Iron Man, and we're not destined to become Iron Man. There's only one Iron Man, and that's you, Tony Stark!" Raiden put one hand on Tony shoulder and patted Yinsen with the other hand.
Yinsen also looked at Tony and Raiden, his eyes becoming a bit moist.
"That's right, Tony. Raiden and I have our own paths to follow. This armor belongs to you, to the great Tony Stark, doesn't it?"
Tony looked at Yinsen and Raiden, his eyes becoming a bit moist.
"That's right, I am Iron Man."
"Yes, that's it. Yinsen and I will use our own powers to become superheroes! Of course, we still need to think of a cool enough name" Raiden joked.
"Alright then, I'll be called Wolverine!" Yinsen joked.
After Yinsen spoke, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.
"Why is Michelle taking so long? I'll go check on her. You two, if you want any drinks or something to eat, just help yourselves!" Raiden patted their shoulders as he spoke, then walked towards the room behind the bar.
Yinsen watched Raiden retreating figure, then suddenly said.
"Tony, help me take off my armor."
Tony glanced at Yinsen and said.
"Taking off the armor will be quite troublesome."
Yinsen looked at Tony, shrugged and said. "I think we might have plenty of time."
"Oh! Alright!" Tony looked at Yinsen and nodded as if suddenly realizing something.
