Super Detective in the Fictional World

even stranger for Batman to strike up a conversation.
He decisively sent Selina a message.

It was time for Selina, Director of the PDD and Secretary-General of the Justice League, to step forward and make her existence known.

Selina couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
This remote-controlled android didn’t have that function, and could only send a certain person a ‘fluttering’ of images.

Then, she coughed and said, “Hawkeye, Steve, Dr.
Banner, for this operation, the Justice League has put together some gear for you.
Since we have time now, how about I explain how to use it?”

Everybody in the plane paused to look at her, and then glanced at the tycoon with strange expressions.

Selina, however, seemed to know what they were thinking.
“You’re only borrowing the gear for the time being.
If you like it, you can buy it from the bigshot.
Of course, we’ll cover damages sustained in battle.”

Everybody’s expressions immediately returned to normal.

That bigshot who sold everything was the classic businessman.

It was very normal for Batman and Black Cat, whom he was on good terms with, to do some marketing for him in passing.

The Avengers had bought a lot of equipment and life-saving items from the bigshot.

It wasn’t that Tony was stingy, but that the tycoon was a little biased in what he made.

He didn’t make anything that was mass-produced, trash, ugly or uninteresting.

Also, Tony really didn’t have the time.
Making improvements to the armor alone – turning it into a battle nanosuit with functions like a mental probe and a personal energy shield – already kept him very busy.
How could he have the time to play with low-end trash?

Besides, he got a lot of technology from Batman and the bigshot on the condition that he couldn’t steal business.

The bigshot’s meaning was very simple: I specialize in selling low- to mid-range products, while you’re not interested in making those to begin with, so we’ll just split the range beforehand.

Why did Natasha, Hawkeye and Steve buy equipment from the bigshot? Because it was cheap and convenient, of course.

The mass-produced goods were delivered to a designated location in 12 hours, while ordinary custom-made products usually took less than a week.

If they asked Tony for help, they would have to endure Tony’s poisonous tongue first, and then wait three to five weeks, or even three to five months.

They were all people who cared about dignity, and they weren’t the kind to idle around either.

They got fair deals with the bigshot and received the goods in a timely manner.

Credit was the currency which both parties used.
They just needed to abide by the saying that “business was business”; it had nothing to do with personal favors.

Hm, Natasha being thousands of credit points in debt was similar to an ordinary person maxing out their credit card.

Would the person feel guilty toward the bank? Obviously not.

As the ‘bank,’ the bigshot wasn’t afraid of anyone reneging on their debts.

After a few years, everybody had naturally gotten used to it.

Tony noticed everybody’s expressions and didn’t say anything.

It was convenient to get stuff from the bigshot, but everything had to be paid for.

Also, if it wasn’t for his standing with Batman and the bigshot, would these teammates of his be able to enjoy priority treatment in purchases, or buy things on a tab?

Did the plane they were on right now cost nothing to modify? The Avengers flew around on it every day, yet didn’t spend a single credit point.

There were a lot of other things like this plane which the Avengers had for ‘public’ use.

Tony never said anything because he was too proud to.
