2064 Arguing for the Sake of It, the Avengers Internal Affairs

Luke didnt pay much attention to the aftermath of the Lagos incident.

Whether it was those who exposed scandals, splashed dirty water, or stirred up public opinion, the Bat Squad had never been idle in dealing with them.

In the early years, Luke would suppress and retaliate, but in the last few years, his thinking had changed.

Humans were very complicated creatures. It was unrealistic for everyone to be of the same mind.

In the past, the dissemination of information could still be controlled and people were easily duped.

With the advent of cell phones, however, everybody wanted to voice their opinion.

Among them were many people who didnt care about the truth, and went against it purely for the sake of arguing.

Their basic philosophy was to oppose everything.

So, Luke now targeted those comments which attacked superheroes through a new strategy of comprehensive surveillance.

Those who liked to jump out and stir up public opinion had to remember that if they jumped too much, they would be served with a super scandal and a prison sentence.

Letting these guys who liked to stir up public opinion become targets of public opinion themselves could be considered the cla.s.sic case of giving them a taste of their own medicine.

When it came to dirt, n.o.body in the world knew more than Luke.

He didnt reveal everything because it was unnecessary.

Instead, Luke would rather keep most of the small fry alive to deal with the higher-ups.

n.o.body cared if the small fry stank or not.

Only when bigshots were smelly would the public be happy.

The Avengers were facing a similar situation this time.

In the last few years, the Justice League had started to keep a low profile. Many crises were either resolved beforehand or the distinctive suits werent deployed.

This way, the Avengers, whose personal style had always been to go all out, were more famous than the Justice League.

With the Justice League keeping a low profile, there was no way to slander them, so people could only target the Avengers.

The Avengers had a lot of fans and also a lot of anti-fans.

Compared with the Justice League, whose real ident.i.ties couldnt be verified, the Avengers had too many weaknesses, which made it easier for the American government to intervene.

Perhaps it was because of the many alien invasions and attempts to destroy Earth that the higher-ups in many countries felt a sense of crisis.

They urgently needed to control some of the power and the mature s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p technology that the Avengers had.

In the future, in an emergency, commanding the Avengers and taking a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to leave Earth for the time being would be a good choice.

After years of the higher-ups laying low, this storm was finally brewing.

So long as the Avengers didnt completely retire, these people who wanted to reap benefits from them would take action sooner or later. They had just been waiting for a reason to step forward.

The casualties in the Lagos incident were all civilians, which could be used to attack the Avengers.

The Avengers had gotten over 30 people killed, even if it was in order to save hundreds of people on the ground.

The civilians who had died this time were just props for the higher-ups in Europe and America.

Luke simply had Alfred boot up his laptop. Whoever was the happiest in this matter would suffer once the furor died down.

A week later, Selina read the news. Are we really not going to do anything?

The main characters in the news were Steve, Sam, Bucky, and the Wakandan prince, TChalla.

The protagonists were handcuffed and sent to prison.

Luke shook his head. This isnt a small matter.

Director Selina snorted disdainfully. Isnt it because of those rats in high places?

Luke said, Its good to give them a chance to vent. Otherwise, who knows what else theyll do.

Director Selina was confused. Why didnt you deal with them before this?

Because anyone who is unhappy with superheroes will automatically get involved. Taking care of a few people wont stop this, said Luke darkly.

Selina frowned. Is it wrong for us to protect ordinary people?

Luke couldnt help but laugh. Thats right. As long as you appear in front of them, everything you do is wrong.

This was human nature, just like night and day.

A person couldnt live forever in the dark, nor could they stay in the light forever.

After a long time, even vampires would yearn to bask in the sun provided that they didnt turn to dust.

Whether you liked the dark or the light was a matter of preference. However, once you could only choose one or the other, it became a deprivation of your freedom to choose.

Europe and America loved to advocate freedom the most, and many people liked to go against the mainstream.

This had nothing to do with right or wrong, and was all about arguing for the sake of it.

In the next few days, Director Selina paid close attention to how the scene unfolded. At the same time, she ordered the PDD and the Justice League not to interfere.

That was because this matter was clearly causing an internal conflict among the Avengers.

Luke had already given the order for Wanda and Pietro to come back when he sensed the first signs of it.

Tony had been a little unhappy, but didnt say anything in the end.

While it looked like Luke was undermining the Avengers for the time being, it was also his way of expressing that he wouldnt interfere in their internal affairs.

The Justice Leagues stance was as firm as ever if they interfered, wouldnt that make the Avengers problem even bigger?

Even though he knew that he couldnt hide anything from Luke, the tyc.o.o.n didnt want to be watched up close this guy would definitely take a lot of videos and use them to mock him later.

d.a.m.n it, Tony still had a black eye right now. If his entire face was captured on camera, that would be embarra.s.sing!
