"It's impossible to take care of everyone, let alone billions of people on Earth."
"It's already quite remarkable that you can take care of everything you care about."
"However, even those born in Rome cannot control everything they care about."
As the saying goes, "The common people don't fight with merchants, and merchants don't fight with officials."
"Why can't I, a wealthy businessman, fight against officials?"
"Because they possess power and influence far greater than the wealth of merchants."
"There has never been a shortage of unfair things in the world."
"So-called fairness is nothing more than the weak not touching the interests of the strong, and the strong being too lazy to put pressure on the weak, thus obtaining a superficial fairness."
"The statement that all men are created equal only means that all men are human beings and possess intelligence, but it does not mean that everyone's life is equal and fair."
Therefore, there is only relative fairness in the world, not absolute fairness.
Tony said slowly upon hearing this.
That's the rule of the world of the strong: if I'm willing to give you fairness, then you will have fairness; if I'm not willing to give you fairness, then life and death are up to me.
The Xandar Empire has protected many surrounding civilizations and enjoys countless accolades, partly because it is one of the most powerful forces in the universe.
If the Xandar Empire was not an empire, but a weak and backward civilization...
No matter how noble or great the ideal is, other forces and powerful individuals won't care.
There's a famous saying on Earth: Dignity lies only on the edge of a sword, and truth lies only within the range of a cannon.
This statement perfectly encapsulates the rules of the world of the strong.
Without sufficient power, you have no voice when the strong oppress you.
"Relative fairness and absolute fairness..."
Peter Parker fell into deep thought upon hearing these words.
All the knowledge he had learned in the past and the common-sense concepts about environmental shaping were now being challenged.
"For example, your ability to come to see me alive is not a right you were born with."
"It's because I had no intention of killing you or hurting you, and I was willing to give you this opportunity to meet me."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here at all, let alone seen me."
"The root of all this is that you are weaker than me. As the strong, I have the power to set the rules, while you, as the weak, are only fit to make choices."
"If you are stronger than me, then our positions will be reversed."
Even if I don't want to see you.
"But because you have the power to make the rules, you can see me whenever you want."
Tony reached out and took a bottle of wine into his hand. As he slowly poured the wine into his glass, he said calmly.
Let alone the grand stage of the universe, Earth is essentially a world where the strong prey on the weak; otherwise, there wouldn't be distinctions between large and small countries, or even between hegemons.
"Don't the weak have a choice?"
"And aren't you a superhero?"
Peter Parker was shaken by these incredibly cruel rules and exclaimed loudly.
He felt he had never truly understood Iron Man, Tony Stark.
The Tony Stark he knows now feels like an unprecedented stranger to him.
"The weak have no choice, even if you don't want to accept it, that's the reality."
"Don't be impatient or panicked. The world is not as wonderful as you imagine."
"There are many things that can have an impact."
"So take a deep breath and adjust your mindset."
"Then let's talk about the question you just asked me."
Seeing Peter Parker's disapproving expression, Tony took a sip of his drink and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Peter Parker immediately removed his cheap hood and took deep breaths to regulate his heart rate.
What Tony Stark said had a huge impact on his worldview.
"Although you are still very young, it is clear that you are a smart person."
"And I enjoy dealing with intelligent people."
Tony's smile deepened when he saw Peter Parker take a deep breath.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is.
Although Peter Parker, this little brat, was as insignificant as an ant in his presence, he showed no arrogance.
This makes it impossible for Tony to kill Peter Parker without a reason.
“Mr. Stark, I’m ready.”
Peter Parker, watching Mr. Stark leisurely sipping his drink, quickly regulated his breathing before speaking.
“Peter Parker, you ask me why I killed so many innocent people.”
"Then let me talk to you about this."
"Regarding the technology my wife Pepper showcased at the press conference, and the future she envisioned, I think you are also very clear about it."
"My original intention was to promote technologies that would benefit the whole world, freeing it from the burden of energy shortages and eliminating the barriers of language across borders."
Do you think what I did was a good thing or a bad thing?
Tony put down the bottle, took a small sip, and said with a smile.
"I think the Void Translator is a great invention, and its future prospects are also a great thing."
Peter Parker didn't hesitate much when he heard this and directly expressed his thoughts.
The most powerful feature of the Void Translator is not just its translation capabilities, but its ability to directly connect to brainwaves.
The language spoken by others is directly translated into a language that one understands through brainwaves.
Instead of the commonly used translator that uses speech recognition to convert speech into text, this is a truly revolutionary technology.
"Yes, any normal person would have the same thought as you."
"Everyone knows that once language barriers are eliminated, there will be fewer obstacles to interaction between people."
"As long as we at Stark Industries keep our promise and bring down the price to achieve universal access."
"Regardless of whether they hate me or not, I will buy it in the future to make my life more convenient."
"This also brings about a problem: the Void Translator will inevitably bring immeasurable benefits in the future."
"And the energy that Stark Industries is about to dump all over the world represents far more than just profits; it also represents technological development."
Tony smiled as he saw that Peter Parker, though unwilling to accept his ideas, had unhesitatingly agreed with Stark Industries' future vision.
"Someone doesn't want you to do this..."
If Peter Parker still didn't understand the situation after hearing this, then he was incredibly stupid. He said with a somewhat shocked expression.
At the press conference, a reporter asked Stark Industries whether it had obtained the military's approval.
The questions those reporters asked were very pointed for a large company.
Although Miss Pepper gave a roundabout answer without giving a clear answer, she did express her willingness to work hard to promote the plan.
"Yes."
"It is no exaggeration to say that countries and people around the world hope that Stark Industries can achieve the goals and visions mentioned in the press conference."
"But American politicians are not willing to do that."
"And they believe that the power they wield represents a weapon that can force Stark Industries, that is, me, to submit."
"So it was less than two hours after the press conference."
"General Ross, who held great power, personally led an armed force to negotiate with me."
"They're trying to force me to concede, acting like the stronger party."
"It forced me to change Stark Industries' future development strategy."
"Even if I set aside for now whether they are too selfish or greedy."
“Whenever they decide to do this, they become my enemies, whether innocent or not.”
Tony nodded slightly upon hearing this, and said in a somewhat indifferent tone.
Peter Parker noticed a change in Mr. Stark's attitude; it was clear that Mr. Stark disliked those politicians.
"Since we've become enemies, it's either victory or defeat."
"You are able to see me now because I have won."
"If I had failed or given in, the news you would not have seen about their deaths."
"Instead, I disappeared or even died for various reasons, and was even accused of treason."
"And I myself may actually be imprisoned in a prison from which I can never escape, or I may die and bear countless infamy."
The indifference in Tony's eyes quickly vanished, and he said with a smile.
"Is it really that exaggerated...?"
Peter Parker was also somewhat taken aback when he heard Mr. Stark describe the outcome.
"Whether you think it's exaggerated or unbelievable now, you will understand in the future."
"You have gained the abilities of a spider and become a superhuman."
"I think it's a good thing to have a sense of justice, pursue fairness, and help the weak, and I admire your character."
"This proves that you are a kind-hearted person with the potential to become a hero."
"However, human nature is fickle; they may be grateful to you one second and despise you the next."
So here are some reminders for you.
