Chapter Forty-Eight: Begin to Strike

Another plane crashed, and this time cargo from the United States to Europe. The value of this shipment is higher, and none of the beauty products are all x drugs. The value of the drug is more than half a billion US dollars, and the drug has long been buyered, and it is a product that has been delivered.

The production of X-agent requires cycles. It's not like you want it, and then you have it right away. X beauty medicine was the first to open the market in Europe, and many women in Europe are obsessed with X beauty medicine to an outrageous degree. Whether it is a medicine that does not make you fat, or a medicine that can become locally larger, it has been greatly welcomed. There are also underwater breathing agents for those who like to dive. The market for these agents is very broad.

And such a plane crash caused a serious consequence, that is, the delivery time must not be able to catch up, and now it is bound to be in default. When major European stores posted about the delay and sent text messages to customers who ordered the product to inform them of the delay, some of the angry customers even besieged the store.

There have also been several violent clashes in the UK. Fortunately, there were no casualties, only three clerks were unlucky enough to suffer some skin injuries. However, because of this incident and the plane crash, the stock price of Stark Group fell, and the closing price plummeted by three percent on the day. More than $12 billion in assets evaporated in an instant.

A seemingly inconspicuous little thing has challenged Stark's business empire like never before. The evening news of the Economic Channel on the same day broadcast this incident.

The male host in a well-fitting blue suit faced the camera and talked to the audience across the United States: "Stark Group's stock price fell sharply today. The cause was two consecutive plane crashes. Although Sugon Technology is a private property of Tony Stark, many people see it as a subsidiary of Stark Group. ”

"The direct economic losses caused by the two crashes are not very big for Dawning Technology or Stark Group. But it is a huge blow to market confidence. It has been suggested that this was premeditated in the sniping of Dawning Technology and their products. Among them, the main one is the X drug. And such sniping undoubtedly makes one wonder, will the attack stop?"

"Tony Stark should have called the police to fix the matter. But it looks like our superhero, Iron Man, presumably wants to find the killer himself. A large number of steel armors have already been seen flying towards the crash site this afternoon......"

Before the anchor could finish his words, the TV was turned off.

"I'm angry!" Tony's tone was cold, he wasn't joking, "I'm trying to find out who did all of this right now." It's not just tens of billions of dollars in losses, it's seven lives. ”

The two crashes killed all seven crew members on board, and their bodies were not even recovered. This is what makes Tony the angriest.

"Whoever it is, I need him to pay for everything he's done!" Tony's face twitched. The rest of the Illuminati looked at Tony, and it seemed that Iron Man was coming for real.

————————————————

On Fifth Avenue on the east side of Manhattan, a palatial palace stands among the tall buildings. It is said that in the early days it was just an abandoned church in New York, but it was bought and renovated to become what it is today.

No one could have imagined that this building would be the world headquarters of the Hellfire Club. It's a stone's throw from the Stark Group building, but no one knows what it's for.

This is because this is a completely enclosed non-no-go area. This is open to members only. The Hellfire Club is very low-key, not like Hydra. They have always lived in this world with a superiority attitude, and they don't think that they have anything to talk about with ordinary people (including ordinary mutants).

Its members use their connections and the facilities offered by the organization to expand their reach in business or political circles. The Hellfire Club existed as early as the eighteenth century. This is an established organization that has existed for almost two hundred years.

They are mysterious, like the legendary Freemasons, secretly manipulating politics and global trends. They were really successful for a while, and they really controlled the direction of the world. Including the U.S. election, including the financial crisis and the stock market crash or something, these are the times for them to harvest leeks.

But in recent years, members of the Hellfire Club have found it increasingly difficult for them to control everything in the shadows.

They clearly felt that there was a big hand in the dark that controlled everything in the dark. Let the direction of the earth become more and more unpredictable. Many of the connections and relationships that used to be are no longer useful. For example, the club once wanted to invite Sunspot Roberto to join the Hellfire Club, because he is a major supplier of raw materials such as metal, wood and grain in the world. But this guy refused, and then also participated in what mutant state-building activities.

Stupid!

Doesn't he know that there is an essential difference between those who stand at the top and those who are weak, helpless and useless?

But now the world is changing too fast, and the old energy era is quietly coming to an end. Human alien mining has become a reality, and what other aliens are coming. And one of the things that touched the interests of these people in the Hellfire Club the most was the appearance of the X-potion.

This thing can actually neutralize the eliminators of the mutants (Ipsilon, Delta, etc.), and now the alpha-class mutants seem to be becoming less and less valuable. Just go to the roadside pharmacy and buy a shot of potion, prick yourself and an alpha-level mutant is born.

It's ridiculous! When did an alpha-class mutant become such a worthless thing?! This is intolerable to many people in the Hellfire Club. It's like the wizarding world's pure-blood mages are uncomfortable with Muggle mages.

So today I saw the plane crash of Potion X, and many members of the Hellfire Club are discussing it.

"Hah, Tony Stark, this is self-inflicted. I don't know who did it, but I think I need to raise a glass to the people who do it!" a member of the Hellfire Club suggested ringing a bell at the bar. (The bar rings the bell to signal the bell ringer to pay the bill)

The servants in the field were like clouds, and everyone raised their glasses and cheered.

At the top of the club, Sabastian Shaw didn't look good. In the past two years, the number of influential people in the club has begun to decrease, although it is not yet obvious, but this trend has already appeared. The earth is in a phase of transition, and if it can't keep up with the times, then it will inevitably be eliminated.

Sabastian is a middle-aged man with a calm face, and he has a large black back hair that is very neatly combed. He banged on the table thinker, and just as this time, a sexy woman with long, straight blond hair walked in. She is Emma, the White Queen of the Order.

"What are you thinking?" she asked.

"I'm thinking that maybe we should absorb new blood, and not just limit ourselves to mutants, maybe some ordinary people in the industry elite can do the same. Sabastian spoke his mind.

Emma said noncommittally, "For example?"

"Like Tony Stark. He has a ticket to the future, and if he can be one of us, it will be a huge boost for our organization. Sabastian said, touching the buttons of his sleeve.

"You haven't even met Tony Stark's real person. Do you think it's so easy to convince him to join us?" Emma said disapprovingly.

While they were chatting, a group of uninvited guests broke into the non-admissible club.
