Tony and Luo Xing, on the other hand, didn't care at all about the identities of the people inside.
Tony had clashed with some of them before; they wanted him to hand over the Iron Man suit.
As a result, those people not only failed, but also lost face in front of the media.
As for Thor... the god of thunder in mythology, the crown prince of an advanced civilization.
They don't even know what the Security Council is, so they certainly don't care.
"Then you might be in for a big surprise later."
Luo Xing glanced at Nick Fury indifferently and walked into the room.
Indeed, Tony Stark appears to be a free spirit, while Captain America, as a former soldier, should respect orders from his superiors.
But Nick Fury didn't realize that Steve valued freedom more than his duty as a soldier.
Beneath Tony Stark's unconventional exterior lies a sense of responsibility far greater than that of ordinary people.
If the Sokovia incident hadn't happened before, their positions would probably have reversed instantly.
"Oh! Our hero has arrived!! Everyone, give him a warm welcome!!!"
Upon seeing Luo Xing and the others enter the room, a blond-haired elder at the head of the group stood up and led the applause.
Those present scrutinized Luo Xing and his group up close, while Luo Xing also scanned the numerous high-ranking officials present.
One of them looked somewhat familiar; he was... the general who had previously ordered Tony to hand over his suit. He was one of the confirmed Hydra agents.
However, this guy had no say among the representatives from various countries and sat at the very back.
The applause was enthusiastic, but Thor was embarrassed.
Because he didn't make a move this time.
As a warrior, he relishes glory and sway, but if that glory is false, he will never accept it.
"I'll excuse myself for a moment."
Thor and Nick Fury whispered something to each other, then ran to the back of the crowd and found a place to sit down.
"We didn't know how to perform the ritual, so after discussion, we made three gold badges as quickly as possible."
The blond old man waved his hand, and three smartly dressed women in suits, each carrying a box, walked up to Luo Xing and his companions.
At this moment, the camera shifts to the three gold badges, starting a close-up.
"This is not an ordinary parliamentary gold badge, but a newly launched international gold badge after discussions among our five 55 countries."
Even though the blond old man couldn't hear the audience's voices, he knew what they were thinking at that moment, and immediately...
He began to explain.
The Congressional Gold Badge is the highest civilian honor, but it cannot compare to the achievements of Luo Xing and others.
Even military badges of honor aren't enough...
Instead, they chose to create a completely new badge system.
"Possessing an international gold badge grants lifetime free travel on military aircraft within the five major countries, and children can unconditionally enter the top universities in the five countries..."
"Their names will be recorded in history, and placed at the forefront."
"Each month, you can receive a total of 10,000 yuan in bonuses from the five major countries by presenting the badge; this is valid for life."
One privilege after another came from the blond old man's mouth, but all the audience members felt only envy and admiration, because they knew that Luo Xing and the others deserved it.
Moreover, many people know that Luo Xing and the others don't need the...privileges that the badges bring.
Learn about military aircraft portals.
A monthly bonus of 10,000 yuan? Are you telling Tony Stark a lame joke? (Name loaded into m.miwenge.com history) Steve Rogers says, "I can load it twice more. Please accept this insignificant honor, heroes!"
Three women in their 3s carried boxes and presented them to the three people in their 3s.
"I wasn't much of a help at all... There were others who did much more than I did."
Steve Rogers shook his head and looked up at the crowd: "So, do they get this reward?"
"Rogers, our pride, please rest assured."
The blond-haired old man stood up again, smiling as he explained, "These three badges were made at our fastest speed. We will later award the honors due to those... heroes who also protected the Earth..."
"Moreover, we have noticed that ordinary people in the city also possess great will, and we are preparing to issue some Congressional badges to those... ordinary citizens who fought bravely."
After listening to the old man's words, Steve had nothing to say, accepted the badge with satisfaction, and pinned it to his front.
When they heard that the old man was going to award badges to ordinary citizens as well, even if they were just ordinary badges, everyone became excited.
—They were so excited that they even forgot that not long ago the authorities had thrown a strategic weapon at them.
"Are there any listening devices or anything like that?"
Luo Xing picked up the badge, handed it to Tony, and asked.
"Let me check."
Tony took out his phone, scanned the badge, and then handed it back to Luo Xing: "No, but they're right, this thing was definitely rushed out; the workmanship is terrible."
"It's not great, but I can still make ten thousand yuan a month for free."
Luo Xing casually stuffed the badge into
Chapter 194 Two Bowls of Noodles, One Bowl of Money
At the urging of the crowd, one of the councilors stood up, walked to the podium, and first stated his position.
After hearing him say that, anyone with an IQ above 20, whether they were at the scene, watching TV, or using their phones, knew that this guy was just a spokesperson who had been sidelined.
The so-called "only representing one's own opinion"
It's just a way to shift the blame.
Some astute viewers have already shown expressions of concern on their screens.
Generally, official...

The so-called "only representing one's own opinion"
It's just a way to shift the blame.
Some astute viewers have already shown expressions of concern on their screens.
When an official sends someone to say something like this, they're almost certain to follow up with some idiotic remarks.
This is like someone saying, "I'm not targeting you personally."
Generally speaking, what follows will definitely be... specifically targeted.
"What I want to ask is..."
The senator held up a piece of paper, glanced at Luo Xing, and read its contents aloud: "As far as we know, Luo Xing of Apokolips, you have had a conflict with Loki, the leader of this alien invasion."
"A considerable conflict, how?"
Luo Xing glanced at Thor sitting behind him and calmly nodded.
They probably got this from S.H.I.E.L.D....
What I learned from their words, and S.H.I.E.L.D....
The details were naturally obtained by extracting information from Thor.
"So, do you believe this invasion is related to you? Is Loki... doing it to get revenge on you?"
The councilor put down the note, looked up at Luo Xing, and questioned him.
Hearing the question posed by the congressman, the viewers in front of their screens felt a chill run down their spines.
As they expected, the official statements started spouting nonsense again.
The underlying meaning is...—you caused the end of the world.
The rest is self-evident; even a fool could guess it.
—You saved the world but instead of receiving credit, you must be held responsible for the destruction and losses incurred.
In an effort to salvage the reputation lost by the official deployment of strategic weapons and to suppress the influence of superheroes like Luo Xing, the authorities have begun to smear China.
Even though most rational people know that the authorities are distorting the truth and stirring up trouble.
However, many people still chose to support the legislator's viewpoint.
These people are either stupid or wicked.
But there are quite a few stupid and bad people in the world.
Is this a provocation?
Before Luo Xing could speak, Tony couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed the international badge, throwing it at the congressman's face.
He was already disgusted last time, but he only thought it was a clash between officials and private individuals.
As a result, Luo Xing has now found out the truth and told the world that Hydra has infiltrated various departments.
Fortunately, he held firm to his principles and did not hand over his uniform.
Otherwise, what we'd be facing now wouldn't be the Helicarrier, but countless "Hydra Iron Mans" (or similar vessels).
At that time, Tony Stark was... an accomplice of Hydra.
"Hiss! Mr. Stark, please let Mr. Luo Xing answer himself."
The senator, clutching his forehead where he had been hit, spoke through the pain.
—This is a badge made of pure gold; it wouldn't feel good to be hit by it.
But he should be thankful that it was Tony Stark who came crashing down on him, not Los Angeles.
Otherwise, his head, along with the entire wall behind him, might have disappeared.
"Just a friendly reminder, everyone, the Clark Kent in my painting doesn't have the patience to be 'judged' by you."
