While Belle was asleep, three things happened that she didn't expect at all.

Fallon and Adam Carrington's wedding has been postponed indefinitely. Not a cancellation, but an indefinite postponement.

Adam Carrington bought out all the shares of the Carrington family in the Carrington Group in Atlanta, and completely controlled the world's largest energy company.

Stark Industries, which stands at the pinnacle of the energy field, has experienced a catastrophic blow: the Ark reactor built in the Nebraska desert exploded!

Fortunately, Nebraska is sparsely populated, the Ark Reactor is uninhabited within a 200-kilometer radius, and the entire facility is maintained by Stark Industries' robots, so there are no casualties.

But Stark Industries was hit hard by this, the stock price fell off a cliff, and negative comments swept through the media.

Standing in Belle's window, looking southwest in the direction of Park Avenue, next to Grand Central Station, downstairs of the Avengers Building with the letter A on it, you can see a large crowd gathered there and a huge protest is going on.

A few years ago, Tony Stark bought the Metropolitan People's Insurance Building at 200 Park Avenue and converted it into the Stark Building.

After the Kitari Legion invaded New York at the time, Stark Tower was officially renamed the Avengers Tower, where it became the headquarters of the Avengers.

With the Avengers moving to upstate New York, the building loses its symbolism, and Pepper Potts is arranging for it to be sold.

However, this building happens to be the first in the United States, and the only building outside of the new Avengers headquarters, to be powered entirely by the Ark reactor.

After the Nebraska bombing, the people of New York naturally could not tolerate such a thing 10,000 times more terrible than the Hiroshima atomic bomb flaunting its might on the island of Manhattan.

"I thought you New Yorkers were used to nuclear bombs flying around your heads every day."

Fallon Carrington stood by Belle's window and looked at the demonstrators along the street, his face full of disdain.

"Nobody wants to know what they think, no one cares what they think," Fallon said, taking a sip of his wine, "Even if Stark does dismantle the reactor, it will only be under pressure from the board of directors or the state legislature, and it has nothing to do with whether or not these people are protesting." ”

"Fewer lawmakers wouldn't sit idly by and watch such a massive protest," Ms. Belle said, "and you'd complain just because they're blocking the road and you're having to walk two blocks." ”

"Maybe you should consider a different place to live!" Fallon was a little unhappy, "Can't you just go to Long Island or New Jersey like a normal rich person and find a spacious place to stay, and you have to stay in Manhattan and see tourists stupidly taking pictures of your building every time you go out?" ”

"You can write down this sentence, and if you develop real estate in the future, you can use it as an advertisement, and it will definitely sell well." Belle said maliciously, "But you didn't come all the way to New York to complain about this, did you?" ”

"Knowingly?" "My dad told me, I didn't expect you to be ......."

"It doesn't matter what I am," Belle quickly stopped her, "the important thing is that you better not talk nonsense, or I'll just shoot a laser from my eye and vaporize you into atoms." ”

"Your little secret is safe with me," said Fallon, "but I have come to you for this, and you must have heard that the Carrington Group is no longer ours. ”

"I heard about it, and I learned about the postponement of your wedding, what the hell is going on?" Belle asked, "Felicia Hardy should have a lot of surprises, but can't that help you cancel the engagement?" ”

"Tell me a little bit about what you don't know," said Fallon in a low voice, "that woman did say a lot of things, that Adam was cheating on her, abusing her, and all that sort of black stuff. However, all the people who heard about it, including the police who handled it, the doctors and nurses in the hospital, the reporters who went to cover the news, and the paparazzi who secretly filmed them, all died. ”

As she spoke, she took out a stack of documents from her bag and handed it to Belle.

"This is the transcript of the police questioning her, which Adam handed over to me with his own hands." "He doesn't care about these things at all, we all think of him too simply." ”

"On the contrary," Belle said, "it proves that I overestimated him." There were countless more reliable ways to solve these problems, but he chose the least technical one. ”

"That's dozens of lives!" "Can you believe that all of them died overnight, and the police, the media, and the hospitals, all chose to remain silent?" Isn't that technical? ”

"I really envy you as a rich flower in the world, life is too easy for you." "He controls almost half of the gangs in the United States, and that's a no-brainer." However, it seems to me that this kind of gangster tactics just shows that he has no better option than violence. ”

"At the pre-wedding banquet, he easily restrained me just by mobilizing his connections, which was completely different from his few companions who only knew how to do it. I also take him very seriously because of this," Belle said seriously, "so I deliberately modified Felicia's memory, using false testimony and scandals to involve as many forces in Atlanta as possible." On the one hand, it is to help you have a reason to break the marriage contract, and on the other hand, it is also to test how much power he can control. ”

"Judging from this result, he really disappointed me, no matter what time it is, it is the best strategy to stop talking. The fact that he would do so already shows that in a very short period of time, he has lost control of the situation. ”

"But whatever he does, he hasn't been affected in any way anyway," Mr. Fallon said, "and the death of these men scared my dad so much that he agreed to his request and sold him the entire Atlanta Carrington syndicate." Within two days of his takeover, Stark Industries' reactor exploded, and Carrington's stock price rose in response, suddenly becoming the most valuable energy giant in the United States. ”

"In this way, the explosion of the Ark reactor must have something to do with him." "The Ark reactor is absolutely safe, and there is no possibility of an explosion. Otherwise, Iron Man would not have put the reactor on his chest. ”

"Can he even do such a thing?" Fallon's jaw dropped in surprise, "I've been to see the reactor in Nebraska, it's like a military base, even another 911 can't cause any damage there, he can blow up the reactor?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I can too," Belle said lightly, "but that's just my guess, I'll have to look into it." Then again, since you're in New York, don't go back for your safety. Now that the company is in hand, your family's people will have no use for Adam, and maybe he will kill all of you directly. ”

"My dad was worried about that, too," Mr. Fallon said, "and he had gone into hiding with Christie, and I came to New York with Steven." My dad stubbornly trusts his security team, but I only trust you, and no one can deal with that madman but you. ”

"It doesn't matter, I didn't have a choice anyway, I had to deal with him." Belle said, "But it's not free, since Adam bought out your company, you must have made a lot of money, do you want to think about doing something else?" I'd like to introduce you to Peter Parker, the founder and CEO of Parker Industries. ”
