Chapter 482: Huddle for Warmth (1st Update)

In a simple and very neat single apartment suite, Jack immediately jumped up from the sofa when he saw Shi Xun open the door and come in, greeted him excitedly, and said loudly: "Welcome to the arrival of the Oriental Knight!" ”

Shi Xun looked around, looked at the "Avengers" posters on the wall, and said with a smile: "It seems that you also like superheroes?" ”

"Of course! This is our unique culture in the United States, and it is popular all over the world, although I also like Super Super and Batman, but in general, I still belong to the Marvel camp! Jack welcomed Shi Xun into the room and looked at him curiously, "You...... That's it? Didn't bring anything? ”

Shi Xun smiled, came to a small dining table, clicked on the bracelet, and after a while, the things taken out of it were placed on the table......

Since Jack had never been in contact with the Retainer or the Illusion Corporation, he didn't know anything about the bracelet, he was speechless for a while, he looked at Shi Xun, then at the table, and asked in surprise, "Wait...... Don't tell me...... ...... you still magic? ”

"Of course not, it's just the power of science......" Shi Xun pointed to his bracelet and explained everything to him.

After hearing this, Jack cast an adoring look at Shi Xun: "This is simply cool!" It turns out that there are really super props in this world! I'm not dreaming, am I!? ”

Shi Xun picked up an orange and threw it to him, saying, "This thing will be popular in the future, and you will also have your own bracelet at that time." ”

"You mean really!?" Jack took the orange and said excitedly, "If there really is that day, I will definitely use it to punish evil and promote good, just like Spider-Man, and become a folk superhero!" ”

"Aren't you the son of the Lieutenant Governor of New York? Even if you become a superhero, you should be like Iron Man, right? Shi Xun said with a smile, and then sorted out his things with Jack and asked, "By the way, did you receive a call from Harriman today?" ”

"Yes." Jack replied very naturally, "He said a bunch of inexplicable things to me, what to choose a rookie captain or something, I also know that I am not that material, I thought that whoever wants to be should be the one who should be, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, so I didn't listen carefully, not to mention that I was still in a big class at the time, how could I have time to listen to him talk about this, and then I hung up the phone." ”

"Didn't he tell you that if you want to be the captain, you have to maliciously attack other new recruits?"

"Is there such a thing? I don't know......"

It seems that Jack did not listen carefully at that time, so Shi Xun told him about the strangeness he found in the hotel and the things he had just met Ponty, and said: "So I think what happened to me this time must be related to the selection of the captain, it seems that someone has been eyeing me!" ”

I said...... Are you thinking too much? Jack put the last few cans of beer in the refrigerator, "If the people inside the Skull and Bones Club are hurting each other, at least they will choose the breakthrough in the family behind the other party, and find out if there are loopholes in those large family-run companies that can seize the handle, if it is only for individuals on the surface, it will be too substandard, and the actions of the Skull and Bones Club are all in the name of the goddess of eloquence, even if they fight for power, they will be put on the table to debate each other and get results, like this stabbing in the back, it is not very like the style of the organization......"

"Because I have vulnerabilities of my own." Shi Xun lay down on the sofa and said extremely lazily, "Haven't I kept in touch with the Freemasons all the time?" ”

"I know, isn't that person your ex-wife?" Jack sat next to Shi Xun, breaking the orange and said, "You have already explained these things to Harriman last night, is there anything else you are hiding besides these?" ”

"No, I didn't hide it, it's just that the people who targeted me this time didn't know about these things, maybe they wanted to use this matter to blackmail me."

"Then you don't have to worry!" Jack breathed a sigh of relief, "What even Harriman knows, even if those guys find out?" It has no value at all! ”

"Indeed, I don't have to worry too much about this." Shi Xun said, suddenly staring at Jack, "What about you?" ”

"We?"

"That's right, you just said that the other party is likely to choose the family behind the opponent for the breakthrough, the Ponty family and the Phelps family for the time being, but your words ...... You know, your father is a person who wants to run for president, what if those guys find out something bad for him and threaten you with it? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Jack waved his hand, "Then I just think of those guys as captains, won't their purpose be achieved?" ”

"You're wrong, Jack." Shi Xun looked at Jack, who didn't understand, and said seriously, "Choosing a captain is just the surface, once someone rides on your head, it will be an irreparable thing, even if you are the Germanic knight of the Skull and Bones Society, you will be constrained and manipulated by anything in the future, and become a puppet controlled by others, when they will one day call for wind and rain, and you will be the cannon fodder that has made them." ”

Upon hearing this, Jack's eyes widened instantly: "It's really ...... So ...... serious? ”

"What do you think?" Shi Xun's expression was serious, "You don't want your presidential father to spend his whole life working hard to run just a puppet government, right?" ”

Jack stopped talking, and began to become worried, and after a while he slowly spoke, "Understood...... I have to fight for my respected father! ”

Shi Xun patted him on the shoulder: "So in the face of this situation, it is imperative to huddle together to keep warm!" ”

"Hmm!" Jack nodded, and then muttered, "My dad is just a simple politician, and the Ponty family is a famous transportation and financial tycoon in the United States, and the Phelps family is also a well-known chaebol in the United States, running all kinds of profiteering businesses, plus your Shi family in China is the head of the emerging big organization 'Revenators' all over the world, so who dares to touch us?" ”

"That's not all, have you forgotten that there's also the Illusory Realm Company?" Shi Xun added, "Once I succeed tomorrow night, then the Phantom Realm Company may also be involved, and this power alone is almost worth the entire Skull and Bones Society." ”

"That's right!" Jack looked at the blue onion porcelain plate that was wrapped on the coffee table, "To hell with these evil guys!" Victory always belongs to the knights of justice! ”

While speaking, Shi Xun received a call from Ponty, who said that he had contacted Phelps and informed him of the time and place of the meeting between the four in the evening.
