Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Perfect

Tony Stark’s declaration sent shockwaves worldwide.

His announcement as Iron Man exploded across the internet.

Within half an hour, major online media racked up over 100 million views.

The Iron Man suit, once mocked by outlets, became the face of futuristic weaponry.

*Weapons Magazine*, which had called it the century’s worst weapon, faced a barrage of online ridicule. The editor-in-chief publicly apologized to Tony, transforming into a rabid fan overnight.

Tony’s reckless move threw government and military plans into disarray, forcing them to play along.

The President held a White House press conference, announcing massive purchases of custom Stark Industries suits to secure America’s global military dominance.

He also signed an embargo, banning suit exports to allies like Japan and the UK. Leaking intel or materials was treason, punishable by life imprisonment, loss of citizenship, and total asset seizure.

The President’s endorsement sent Stark Industries’ stock soaring past historic highs, pushing it toward the world’s most valuable company.

By noon, Tony shed his past scandals, hailed as the top fighter against Jason and the Joker Organization, earning widespread online praise.

A photo of Jason bloodied and wounded shattered the Joker Organization’s invincible image.

Anti-Jason and anti-Joker sentiments flooded the web.

Victims of the organization rallied behind Iron Man, analyzing how the suit’s capabilities crushed Jason’s energy absorption.

Their fervent support stemmed from a hope that Iron Man could destroy the Joker Organization, avenging them and restoring order.

Fueled by influencers, the organization’s carefully built mystique crumbled. Cursing Jason and his group became politically correct and trendy.

The online backlash hit the Joker community hard. Within an hour, tens of thousands deleted their accounts, erasing all traces.

Peripheral members, blood on their hands, panicked. With the organization teetering, the government would come for them if it fell.

They pinned their hopes on Jason, publicly begging him to respond.

Bad news poured in through Chloe to Jason.

The world was in chaos, the Joker Organization a pariah again, but Jason, its leader, remained eerily calm.

He didn’t rush to reassure anyone. Instead, he lounged on the sofa, pulling up the Villain System.

[Reputation: 916441 → 853746]

As expected, as Iron Man’s “victory” dominated headlines, the organization’s reputation tanked, dropping from 910,000 to 850,000 in an hour.

Jason smirked, amused.

These sheep. A few news stories, and they’re dancing to the tune.

Think one Iron Man can topple the Joker Organization?

*Ridiculous.*

Let them revel for a few days.

When they’re at their peak, he’d crush their hope in the cruelest way.

The deserters and waverers? He didn’t care.

The moment they left the community, that door slammed shut forever.

…

[Ding! Daily System Tasks Updated. Click to View!]

Jason tapped “View Tasks,” skipping the low-level ones, scrolling to the end.

[Task 31: [Rumor Ender]]

[Details: The rumor of Iron Man defeating Jason is spreading like wildfire. Civilians celebrate, Joker members panic, and the organization’s dominance wanes. Defeat Iron Man head-on, shatter their delusions. Rumors end with strength!]

[Reward: 10,000–30,000 Villain Points]

[Tip: Defeat Iron Man at a landmark or via global livestream for bonus rewards!]

The task piqued Jason’s interest.

These internet fools were too cocky. Even the system was fed up.

A landmark?

For L.A., Hollywood came to mind—the mecca of global entertainment, a magnet for the masses.

What better place than the Hollywood Hills for a livestreamed beatdown, knocking Iron Man off his pedestal before the world?

Jason nodded. Perfect.

It hit both system bonuses: landmark and livestream.

But it wasn’t just Iron Man. The government and military needed a lesson too.

Think mass-produced suits could challenge him? Naive.

The President embargoed the suits? Fine. Jason would sell them to the Middle East, Asia, everywhere.

Lounging, he plotted a massive spectacle.

But going solo felt stretched thin and exhausting.

Time to call in the crew.

The Joker Organization’s core members, quiet for half a year, needed to show their faces.

He slipped on smart glasses. “Chloe!”

“Sir!”

“Notify all core members. Wrap up their tasks and get to L.A. Big op’s coming.”

“Got it, sir! Should I inform Ms. Christine and Ms. Harley?”

“No, they’re—”

Jason paused, hesitating.

Both were pregnant, unfit for long flights or action. He didn’t want them involved.

But with his injuries, word of summoning the team would reach them. If they found out later, they’d be pissed.

Better bring them for fun, keep them out of the fight.

After a moment, he stood. “Notify them. Joker Organization, full assembly!”
