Super Detective in the Fictional World-Chapter 2072 - 2072 Avengers Disbanded, First Visit to Wakanda

2072 Avengers Disbanded, First Visit to Wakanda

Luke didn’t care about that at all.

As the owner of an alien planet who was still putting down roots on a lawless planet, Luke didn’t have to care too much about the actions of the governments on Earth.

In any case, with CEO Jenny and the bigshot who sold everything working in tandem in the light and behind the scenes respectively, it wouldn’t be hard to wrest superhumans from the governments.

It was absolutely impossible for these government bigwigs to be clean and honest; making them ‘work for free’ was easy as pie.

Money and credit points were meant to be spent, and Luke didn’t lack either.

Using them to consolidate Earth’s standing as a base for harvesting points and training talented individuals was the right choice.

In any case, as long as Luke did things for the good of Earthlings, the system would give him experience and credit points; it didn’t matter if the criminals had superpowers or not.

No matter what any government did, it was impossible for them to be like Luke and do good without asking for anything in return; in the end, it was just another way to maintain stability in society.

It was better to use basic technological breakthroughs to slowly upgrade Earth’s technology toward the goal of changing civilization.

The first three industrial revolutions had brought with it tremendous and rapid progress; social systems whose productivity couldn’t keep up would eventually be buried in the dust of history.

These countries might be jumping around happily now, but as long as they couldn’t create a spaceship in the first instance, they would remain small fry for hundreds or thousands of years.

As technology marched toward the interstellar age, it was impossible to close the technological gap with just a bit of manufacturing work.

If countries that lagged behind didn’t complete the basics, they would never get the chance to become bosses in their own right.

For example, the moment Luke obtained interstellar navigation, no country on Earth would ever be able to intimidate him or keep him out.

The reason why the Avengers had fallen to this point was because the old members were too deeply embroiled with the government and financial groups.

The members of the Justice League, on the other hand, were basically ordinary people. Many of them had even been screwed over by the government or financial groups, and didn’t have any good feelings for them.

Most of their mission targets over the years had been related to either one of the two, and each target was worse than the last.

They sneered at anyone who tried to sway them in the name of patriotism or righteousness.

However, Luke wasn’t interested in changing the mindset of the Avengers.

It was too tiring and unnecessary. The world was marvelous to begin with because differences existed.

In any case, both sides were made up of upstanding people who didn’t mess around, so fundamental conflicts wouldn’t happen; they could just work together for the safety of Earth.

The reason why the countries on Earth reacted so quickly was also because of the Avengers’ disbandment.

Of course, there had been no official statement about their disbandment.

It was just that Steve had snuck into the underwater prison with Bucky and rescued Clint, Sam, Scott and Michael.

In order to save the loyal Michael, Phil had brought New SHIELD’s underwater base to provide logistics support.

Luke hadn’t participated in the infiltration of the Raft prison, but had quietly taken action to pick up Clint’s wife and daughter, who had been under surveillance.

Scott had a wife-to-be, Hope. His ex-wife and daughter already had a new family, and there was no need to get them.

Sam had relatives, but he wasn’t in contact with them much.

However, he had a bunch of Avenger superheroes behind him. Nobody would dare touch his family, unless they were absolutely confident they could handle the fallout.

Tony’s ‘extra help,’ little Spidey, was sent back to New York on his private plane.

With Tony around, nobody touched the chatterbox.

Natasha used the Thousand Faces System to switch identities and began sorting out the intelligence on the Avengers in order to prepare for the next attack.

Luke also took Vision away in order to prepare to remove the Stone from his forehead.

At that point, the only superheroes left of the Avengers were Tony and Rhodes, who had public identities. There was nothing for naysayers to latch on to.

…

A month later, the storm caused by the Sokovia Accords gradually subsided.

The Level 3 clone visited Wakanda as Knight.

While called a ‘visit,’ T’Challa actually sent a fighter plane to pick Luke and Vision up.

Luke wasn’t wearing any gear, which indicated that he wouldn’t pry into Wakanda’s location.

Actually, it was because he already knew the answer — Wakanda’s location had long become public knowledge in 2023; it was just that people were restricted from entering or leaving.

T’Challa had come to pick Luke up in traditional attire. Luke wasn’t really surprised by his clothes, but he was astonished to see the leather slippers on the prince’s feet.

What T’Challa was wearing was proper Wakandan ceremonial attire.

So, was wearing these leather slippers… a sign of respect?

Even as he roasted the prince in his heart, he greeted T’Challa politely. Then, Luke looked at the girl behind T’Challa. “This is…?”

T’Challa introduced her with a smile. “My sister, Shuri.”

This was the chief surgeon! Luke bowed solemnly. “Greetings, Your Highness.”

“Huh? Hello, nice to meet you,” said Shuri politely. She couldn’t help but turn to give her brother a suspicious look.

T’Challa was also a little puzzled. He didn’t understand why Knight was so polite to his sister, but he nodded affirmatively. “He’s the Dark Knight that you’ve always wanted to meet.”

Shuri: …What? My Knight isn’t this much of a gentleman.

As the leader of the Justice League and a man who made all the criminals in the world tremble, shouldn’t the Dark Knight have a cold face and a forbidding aura?

At that moment, Wakanda’s genius little princess felt like the image of her idol had been crushed.

But after a few days of touring and talking with him, she had a rough idea of Knight’s real personality.

He had very good manners, but even his smile was just a polite mien.

His speech was nothing special, neither warm nor cold.

His expression was always the same and never excessive.

To put it simply, this person looked normal at first glance, but was actually very abnormal.

His indifference was part of his nature, and not a ploy for picking up girls.

Of course, there were exceptions. For example… when Shuri discussed cutting-edge technology with him, his eyes would flash with excitement.

This was absolutely a tech nerd — Su Rui swore on her own tech nerd nature that she was absolutely right.

After her realization, she and Luke started to get along well.

Although it was very normal for scientists to start duking it out when they got excited as they talked shop, Luke definitely wouldn’t fight a ten-year-old girl.

T’Challa invited him to spar during his spare time to exchange pointers, and the only spectator was Shuri.

No normal brother would want to lose face in front of his little sister.

Thus, the match ended in a tie, which gave this prince enough face.

As a combat expert, T’Challa naturally knew that Luke had held back, while Shuri only thought that the two of them were evenly matched, and she sighed at how good Knight was at fighting.

Looking at his sister bouncing around up ahead, T’Challa said in a low voice, “Bruce, tell me the truth: How much strength did you use in the fight just now?”

Pondering for a moment, Luke said, “80%.”

T’Challa heaved a sigh. “As expected…”

Luke tactfully didn’t ask what he meant.
