"Alright, it really does look similar," Tony Stark finally admitted, "especially that Flash guy—so chatty, just like that little guy." He felt a bit odd at this moment, especially since Lin Feng had pointed it out. Seeing that Batman was a competitor made Tony's thoughts shift. "But the team he's built… it's starting to look more and more like the Avengers. Looks like this is what Lin Feng meant by the Justice League."
Everyone nodded; that seemed about right.
The video continued. The scene shifted to a rural estate where a group of people were moving furniture.
Two men were watching the scene. One of them was none other than Bruce Wayne, the Batman.
Beside him stood a white man unknown to the others. Seeing Batman, he stepped forward and said, "I really don't know how to thank you."
"I only corrected a mistake. It's the right thing to do," Bruce Wayne replied calmly.
He was referring to the battle he had inadvertently caused, where his overdeveloped paranoia led to mutual destruction.
Though he might still be wary of Superman in the future, he would never act so recklessly again.
Superman smiled faintly and watched the harmonious scene unfold before asking, "How did you manage to buy the house back from the bank?"
"I bought the bank," Batman said casually.
"The whole bank?" Superman seemed stunned by this billionaire-level move.
"That's just my style. Hard to explain," Batman replied with a smile.
The others immediately exchanged glances. This… this is what being rich looks like? This is the ultimate big spender?
No wonder Lin Feng singled out this as a "billionaire move."
Even though banks in the U.S. aren't like Chinese mega-banks with trillions on the books, even small American banks often struggle to survive.
Still, you need at least hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a bank.
And this Batman just… bought the entire bank?
Apparently, just to get the house back.
This is the life of the ultra-rich.
"This move… impressive, but unnecessary. Honestly, a bit absurd," even Tony Stark admitted.
"Absurd? Tony, don't speak too soon. Lin Feng once said, 'Your famous moments can rival this?' You might also be pretty absurd," Natasha Romanoff chimed in.
Tony immediately shut his mouth. Sure, he had the money, but why buy an entire bank just to get a house? There were other ways to reclaim a bank-repossessed house.
But he didn't dare say it out loud—Natasha had a point. If an even more ridiculous scene came next, he'd be completely embarrassed.
By "ridiculous," we mean moments that even wealthy people like him would find jaw-droppingly insane.
For example, someone asks him, "What's your superpower?" and he replies, "I'm rich."
That's not a superpower—it's pure money-power.
Even as a superhero and Avenger, Tony relies on his Iron Man suit. Sure, it requires money, but without funds, could he even become Iron Man?
Well… maybe, perhaps.
Even with genius-level intellect, without money, he couldn't execute his ideas.
No wonder Lin Feng said: "Poor people rely on mutations, rich people rely on tech."
Why can the rich rely on tech? It's not that the poor lack talent, but they lack the means.
Ivan Vanko, for example, had nearly equivalent talent to Tony, but without resources, he could only use rudimentary devices at first.
That's the difference.
So when Batman said, "I'm rich," it wasn't a joke—it hit the core of the matter.
Next came Tony's iconic moment. The scene shifted to when he watched a recording left by his father, seemingly having realized something.
Driving his luxury car on the highway, he passed a strawberry stall and asked, "How much?"
"Six dollars," said the vendor.
"I don't have exact change, here," Tony said, handing the vendor the watch on his wrist.
"No, that's too much!" the vendor stammered.
Even without knowing the watch, he knew it was worth far more than six dollars.
"No problem, take it," Tony said.
Still hesitant, the vendor replied, "No, sir…"
"Just take it!" Tony insisted, holding the watch. When the vendor handed him the strawberries, Tony said, "I don't like taking things from people—please leave them there."
"You're Iron Man?" the vendor asked in awe.
"Sometimes," Tony replied nonchalantly.
"We trust you!" the vendor said excitedly.
That segment ended, and everyone turned to Tony, impressed.
Though a watch seemed far less flashy than buying a bank, consider this: what did Tony do with the watch?
Batman bought a bank not only to reclaim a house but also as a valuable asset that could generate long-term returns.
Tony? He just gave it away.
Considering Tony's wealth, any watch on his wrist would be worth hundreds of thousands, possibly over a million dollars, maybe even more.
And he traded it for a box of strawberries?
A watch worn by Iron Man no less—its value is astronomical.
SHIELD agents silently calculated how many years of hard work it would take them to afford such a watch.
Normal salaries? Forget it. Impossible.
Even among them, only Captain America—whose fortune had skyrocketed thanks to licensing—might afford it. Everyone else was envious.
A luxury watch, just exchanged for strawberries? That's reckless.
But people like Tony just do things like this.
Simply put: money makes you willful.
Tony frowned. This is something he could do, but normally wouldn't. If he did, even unlimited wealth couldn't sustain such reckless spending.
And this was only the first video… could things get even more ridiculous?
Sure enough, the next scene was even more absurd.
Unexpectedly, it showed Hulk in a frenzied state, roaring violently at a distant city, flames of rage burning in his eyes.
Normally, Hulk is like a wild child—angry, uncontrollable—but now, he was a massive powder keg ready to explode.
Moments later, he charged toward the city.
At the same time, Tony had just slammed an Ultron drone to the ground.
"The vanadium alloy has been transported," Ultron said, nonchalantly.
Tony aimed his cannon at Ultron. "Don't think you can disappear."
"I already have, actually. You'll understand soon—but first, Mr. Banner must understand," Ultron taunted, before being obliterated by Tony's shot.
Realizing the situation, Tony quickly ordered, "Search news keywords: Hulk."
Those watching off-screen felt uneasy—was this really how he planned to track Hulk?
But it made sense: Hulk was uncontrollable, leaving massive destruction in his wake. How could one not find news coverage?
Sure enough, news about Hulk soon appeared.
"Natasha, time for a lullaby!"
"Impossible!"
But Hawkeye responded, while Natasha was in a dazed state, clearly not doing well.
"The entire team has collapsed! You have no backup!"
Even Captain America fell, looking utterly defeated.
Everyone realized: the Avengers had just gone through a brutal battle.
Even top-tier heroes like Thor were battered, as if some major event had just occurred.
The only one seemingly unharmed was Tony, flying above in the sky.
"Call Veronica!" Tony knew he had no backup, and it was time to face Hulk head-on.
Luckily, he had prepared extensively: his ultimate weapon, the Anti-Hulk Armor.
From space, the Anti-Hulk Armor descended, visible to all.
Meanwhile, Hulk unleashed chaos in the city. Already fierce, Wanda's magic control made him even more terrifying.
The last remnants of his rationality were gone.
All that remained was pure destruction and killing intent.
Everyone watching realized: Hulk's state was abnormal. Even at his worst before, he hadn't been like this. Something unusual was clearly going on.
And it was directly related to the earlier unknown battle.
