Tony is discussing with Dr. Doom about Wayne's invitation.
Although Dr. Doom did not receive a direct personal invitation from Wayne, he still received a letter of invitation from Afu.
Since Wayne had no friendship with Dr. Doom, he chose to contact Dr. Doom in a more written way.
Dr. Doom would not be offended by such a thing, and he knew very well that his relationship with Wayne was not close.
"Victor, shall we go there together?"
Tony asked.
His interaction with Dr. Doom during this period of time allowed him to regain some of the feeling he once had in a university dormitory.
Naturally, the words became a bit more casual.
"You are in La Tovilla now, and I must be responsible for your safety.
If you have any accidents on the road, it could cause trouble for Latovilla."
Dr. Doom was a little reluctant.
He didn't like trouble, and if it was beneficial to bring Tony to this meeting, he wouldn't be so hesitant.
But doing so has no benefit at all to him now, and even has only a lot of disadvantages.
Dr. Doom, who prefers to weigh interests, doesn't think it's necessary for him to take Tony there.
It would be better to just wait for others to pick up Tony from La Tovilla before taking action.
"I understand your concerns, and I will tell everyone who cares about me.
You are a mage, and opening a portal is not a troublesome matter.
The possibility of an accident is very slim, I just need to inform them of my whereabouts."
Tony said.
He still has some confidence in Dr. Doom.
After all, Dr. Doom would gain nothing from killing him.
As for the fact that Dr. Doom wanted to replace his identity, Tony didn't care much.
Dr. Doom was very poor at that time, so it was not surprising that he had such thoughts.
But now that Dr. Doom is the leader of a country, it would be unnecessary to exchange identities with him.
Dr. Doom still didn't agree. He didn't like changes after giving the answer.
Even though this is indeed a very simple thing.
An email suddenly appeared on the monitor in front of Dr. Doom.
[Dear Dr. Doom, if it is convenient, I will go to La Tovilla in person to pick up Tony.
If you have time, I hope you can leave with me.——Wayne]
The content of the email was clearly presented to them.
Of course, if Wayne plans to open a portal to La Tovilia, there is really no way to directly stop it.
Unless the current inadequate defense barrier in La Tovilia is directly opened.
It’s just that there is no need for this yet!
Wayne's meaning was very clear. Out of respect for Dr. Doom, he did not directly open a portal without informing him.
This feeling of being respected is very useful to Dr. Doom.
Dr. Doom simply replied to an email of permission and stood up from his chair.
Since Wayne showed respect, he will respond with corresponding respect!
A minute later a portal was opened in front of Dr. Doom.
One minute was counted after Wayne received the reply. This time was not long, but it was at least enough for Dr. Doom to tidy up his image and entertain visitors in a decent way.
Wayne had collected enough information about Dr. Doom that he was sure that Dr. Doom would not reply to emails while unconscious.
Of course, this can be regarded as a small test, used to determine whether Wayne's conclusions analyzed from the intelligence are ready.
However, this temptation is too normal, and Dr. Doom obviously did not take it seriously.
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Victor von Doom."
After Wayne came over, he directly greeted Dr. Doom.
"Mr. Wayne is also welcome to come to La Tovilia as a guest."
Dr. Doom also paid a very elegant greeting.
He likes this kind of mutual respect and decent communication method, of course, the premise is that the other person is worthy of his equal treatment.
Dr. Doom's pride was hidden in his inferiority complex when he was young, but now it has become a little more serious.
"Dr. Doom, I would like to spend some time in La Tovilla.
When is it convenient for you to discuss the future of mankind with us?"
Wayne showed the qualities that an elite person should have, which he thought was the most suitable appearance for his first official meeting with Dr. Doom after analysis.
This does not mean that he is not eager to discuss what they want to discuss, but it is a decent way to give Dr. Doom time to arrange matters in La Tovilia.
Dr. Doom nodded.
“Latovilla is not a country suitable for tourism. You can get a preliminary understanding of this country in one hour.
I'll excuse you for a moment. Someone will serve as your guide, Mr. Wayne, to accompany you around La Tovilla.
See you in an hour and a half."
Dr. Doom gave Wayne enough face.
Although he himself doesn't really like such a cumbersome way of communication, it is quite enjoyable to experience it occasionally.
If everyone could communicate with him in this way when he was studying in the United States when he was young, perhaps he would not have embarked on a difficult and extreme path in the end.
At that time, although Dr. Doom appeared to be a very good genius on the surface, his inferiority complex was gnawing at his heart all the time.
At that time, the pressure on Dr. Doom was much greater than it is now.
There is actually only one reason why he is getting better treatment now than before, and that is that his personal strength has won respect for his country and himself!
Although a large part of this respect is based on caution, Dr. Doom still prefers the current situation.
No one will underestimate him, and it feels much better to be feared and wary than to be treated like a tool!
Dr. Doom left the room directly, leaving only Wayne and Tony.
Wayne and Tony looked at each other and were silent for a while, as if they didn't know where to start.
This process is quite embarrassing.
"Wayne, I never thought you would have such a side."
Tony was the first to break the awkward silence.
"why would you say so?"
Wayne asked rhetorically.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his performance.
Tony is the one with the closest relationship among all his partners. On the one hand, both of them are top rich men.
In fact, there are many similarities in their attitudes towards life.
It's just that Wayne's life as a superhero seems too bitter and hateful compared to Tony's.
At least Wayne never dared to announce his identity to the world when he was acting as Batman.
But Tony had no such concerns.
"I thought you would lower your voice and use a low tone to tell Victor about the necessity of your meeting.
Well... I'm a little surprised that you didn't come to see Victor as Batman and Savage."
Tony found a more appropriate tone and said, it was a little joke.
"If you get to know your classmate better, you might have a new understanding of the country you live in."
Wayne also responded to Tony's words with a little joke.
Wayne is not the kind of guy who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. He has seen too many bad things before becoming Batman.
I have even personally experienced the lives of the poorest ordinary people!
He is a superhero who truly transcends class!
Wealth is only part of his power, not an accessory used to decorate his status! It is not a tool to highlight his status!
At this point, Wayne has indeed gone further than Tony.
Fortunately, Tony has now begun to understand his true inner thoughts and is on the way to becoming a stronger and more perfect hero.
As for true perfection, both of them actually knew that it was just a matter of imagination.
But this is at least a goal that they can strive for.
Of course Tony understands what Wayne means. He is a smart man and can even compete for the position of the smartest man in the world after Dr. Reed's death.
Naturally, he immediately understood Wayne's mockery of America.
"Wayne, it seems like the days ahead won't be easy for us. I hope your plan can really change everything."
Tony said.
It wasn't that he was avoiding the problems in his country, but that Tony didn't know how to deal with this problem for a while.
Although he is a being who can single-handedly destabilize the economy, he also understands that his words alone cannot actually change the situation.
“No one can predict what the future will look like, but what we do is to make the future what we want it to be.
We are no longer alone against the world."
Wayne looked a little sad, but his eyes were full of determination!
He believes that all these chirps will lead to a better future!
"I am the guide His Majesty the King has found for you two. Can I come in?"
A questioning voice came from the door.
Before getting permission from Wayne and Tony, he would just wait outside the door.
Of course, this self-proclaimed tour guide will not exist just as a tour guide, but now he only has the identity of a tour guide!
After Wayne and Tony looked at each other, they both nodded silently and reached an agreement.
"Please come in."
Wayne said.
They would not refuse Dr. Doom's kindness, and they didn't really care whether the guy who claimed to be a tour guide was doing other tasks.
Wayne had already announced his family name when he came to La Tovilia. If Dr. Doom wanted to get to know him, there would be no need to go to such trouble.
In Wayne's opinion, Dr. Doom's purpose in hiring this tour guide was just to prevent them from going somewhere they shouldn't go.
La Tovilia is not a country with no secrets at all. If Wayne and Tony go to a place where it is not convenient for them to be displayed to the outside world, it will cause a lot of trouble.
And this tour guide is most likely just reminding Wayne and Tony of places that are inconvenient for outsiders to visit.
Although doing so will inevitably make Wayne and Tony curious, Dr. Doom believes that these two guys' curiosity will be well controlled.
Having a conflict with Dr. Doom just because of a little curiosity is not something a smart person would do!
Dr. Doom believes that Wayne and his friends are not so stupid!
As for whether Wayne and Tony will want to explore the secret of La Tovilia, Dr. Doom believes that it is definitely the case!
But there are so many ways to explore La Tovilla, why choose such a stupid way to do it?
"Hello, gentlemen."
When the tour guide came in, he first asked questions, but Tony didn't say anything.
Wayne smiled at the tour guide.
After meeting the tour guide, Wayne immediately recognized his identity.
This is the leader of La Tovilla, so this kind of treatment is grand enough!
"Then I have to ask you, Mr. Tour Guide, to arrange the rest of the itinerary."
Wayne said.
Since Latovilla has shown such sincerity, Wayne will never let the other party face difficulties.
He would not address the other party by his or her position, but would only address him as the tour guide he claimed to be.
This is also a kind of respect!
"The whole of Latovilia is very grateful to His Majesty the King, although we generally don't address His Majesty like this when speaking to the outside world.
But you two are His Majesty's friends, so I don't need to hide anything."
The tour guide said with a reassuring smile.
Obviously he is a good dancer, but Latovilla really needs such a business card!
Dr. Doom is very hostile to the United States, but he also understands the fact that exchanges between countries should pay more attention to the exchange of interests!
It is really ridiculous to let one's own development stagnate for the sake of hatred.
But Dr. Doom would never be gentle to anyone in the United States, so he had this "tour guide" as his business card.
“Two gentlemen, Latovilla’s development prospects are very good.
This place will become the fortress of the future of mankind, and if Wayne Group and Stark Group are willing to invest in it now, we will also offer the most preferential terms."
The tour guide said this.
Of course, it is impossible for two people who represent wealth itself to visit La Tovilla just to let each other pass the time.
In more than an hour, I could only take a rough look at the overall layout of La Tovilla.
But this is also a good opportunity to attract investment!
What this tour guide did did not violate Dr. Doom's requirements. What he did was wholeheartedly seeking opportunities for the development of Latovilla!
It's not that Tony and Wayne have never seen such things as soliciting investment, but they didn't expect to hear such familiar words in this situation.
But what this tour guide said does make sense!
The future of Latovilla is full of potential for development!
As one of the last fortresses of mankind, it also serves as a training base for necromancers and ordinary mages. In a war fortress, most of the area must be used for defensive measures. The benefits of early settlement are self-evident!
"That's what I was thinking. Is there any land that the tour guide would recommend?"
Wayne said with a smile.
"He and I mean the same thing."
Tony's performance was somewhat perfunctory, and he rarely interfered with the development direction of the group.
He just wants to continue to bring products to the Stark Group.
