Chapter 154: Is it okay, Mr. Lieutenant General

The breeze is pleasant, and the weather is clear.

Collectively known as the "President's Garden", the expansive lawn is surrounded by shrubs and trees, and the scenery is excellent.

There is also a pool in the center, the fountain is like a jade bamboo pouring down, the height can be several zhang, crystal clear.

The press conference was scheduled at the South Gate, and major newspapers from New York sent reporters one after another, carrying long guns and short cannons.

Of course, these are officially accredited media.

The president, who was still promoting his daughter just now, walked to the stage with full grace and talked eloquently.

In a calm and passionate tone, look back at the past of the United States and imagine a better future.

Forty minutes later, after the long and tedious official statements, the reporters picked up their spirits and stopped the urge to doze off.

The camera is focused on the young major general - the lieutenant general will be in this direction.

Put it in any newspaper in New York, who doesn't know that Superman is a walking news hotspot.

As long as you post a photo and write some gossip, you can increase the sales of newspapers in the industry.

The only pity is that because Luke travels on weekdays, he either takes a Pentagon car or flies over directly.

This makes it difficult for the paparazzi to keep track of, and almost no one in the industry has ever taken a picture of Superman, let alone unearthed a gimmick.

With the exception of some anonymous photographers, flying in mid-air overlooking Berlin, there are two photos of an aircraft carrier pushing an aircraft carrier, each by a different person.

I don't know, how they did it!

The reporters in the audience sneered.

"That guy's called Hadro Jameson, isn't it?"

Luke followed the script of the speech and glanced at the newspaper members below, and found a guy who was barely a familiar face.

According to the era, that rather clever young man may be the editor-in-chief of Clarion Daily and the father of Jonah Jameson, the number one black fan of Spider-Man.

Frankly speaking, the whole process of the award ceremony is actually quite boring.

It is nothing more than to say some positive chicken soup for the soul, look back at the difficult years before the United States, and emphasize the beacon spirit of liberal democracy.

Then, intersperse a few humorous jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

Finally, in a high, fierce tone, make a concluding conclusion.

In essence, it is a routine to thank "CCTV", "Mom and Dad", and "all those who support me" at the awards party.

Luke's speech was brief, twenty minutes to complete.

Next is the president's award, and the two shook hands and took a group photo.

On the surface, it looks unremarkable, but in fact, it will appear in the newspaper in a few hours, and it will cause a heated discussion.

Superhuman creations, which are gradually retreating, may be popular again.

I heard that the red light district of New York also launched a special service of sorceress cosplay some time ago, specifically for those loyal fans who worship Superman.

Luke wasn't surprised.

The erotic industry in the lighthouse country has always been the hottest.

When superhero blockbusters exploded, various Iron Man vs. Demon, Hulk vs. Black Widow, Thor vs. Loki...... Wait, isn't there something weird mixed in?

Even during a certain presidential campaign, the distributor also released a Blu-ray disc of Mr. Kazukawa vs. Hillary.

Ask for Clinton's psychological shadow area!

"Mr. President, I have a meeting with the mutants of the Hellfire Club later, and as for the family dinner, I'll be on time."

After stepping down, Luke casually exchanged a few words of greeting and left.

Before participating in the meeting, he walked up to Howard's side and whispered a few words close to his ear.

The other party's expression went from reluctance to wavering, then wanting to refuse and welcome, until he gladly accepted, and the whole process took less than ten seconds.

"I believe that with your charm, there is absolutely no problem."

Luke patted Howard on the shoulder and encouraged.

It didn't take long for him to appear in the small reception room of the Red Room of the White House.

"What about the others?"

Luke, who quietly left the press conference, looked at the White Queen standing at the window.

"Still under inspection by the Pentagon. This is the White House, the nation's most important center of power, and no mutant has ever stepped into it in the open. ”

The White Queen's tone was complicated, and her mood was even more subtle.

She looked at the lively scene not far away, and thought that she was going to lead the mutants to officially appear in front of the world.

This is an unprecedented and bold attempt and an important moment to change the future.

"Emma, when you take this step, you will face a lot of pressure and heavy responsibilities."

Luke walked over and lost Sebastian Shaw's Hellfire Club, which can be said to be leaderless.

There are still a few people who are dissatisfied with the White Queen's ascension.

They were all loyal supporters of Shaw and a stalwart of the radicals.

So, Luke plans to hold a consultative meeting to have a friendly conversation with the gang.

This will also facilitate the relevant cooperation of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future.

"It's the first time I've felt this kind of self-confidence."

The White Queen clasped her hands on her chest, and a trace of dazed emotion appeared on her cold and arrogant delicate face.

It is unrealistic to expect a young girl in her twenties, saddled with the expectations of her compatriots, and the goal of revitalizing mutants.

Even if you let a bald professor of the same age go, you may not be able to perform better than the White Queen.

Responsibility is arguably the heaviest word in the world.

It takes enough courage and enough perseverance to be able to shoulder it.

"Cavill Less...... Mr. Lieutenant General, do you know? I used to have a very low self-esteem because I didn't get any care from my family. ”

The White Queen felt something, shrunk her shoulders, and lowered her voice: "My father perfectly interprets the image of a ruthless businessman, my mother abuses drugs and indulges in alcohol every day, my brother is gay, and my sister is ...... Kayla likes to show her best to outsiders, but she's actually not that good, and sometimes she has bad times. ”

"After I awakened my talents, I listened to their hearts and felt their truest emotions...... It was a nightmare. When you find out that your parents can't wait for each other to die, and each has a secret that you can't see, it's really devastating! ”

"It sounds like a tough time. Thankfully, it's all gone, and it's something to celebrate. ”

Luke leaned against the table and handed him a glass of bourbon.

"And then?"

He does his best and plays the role of a serious listener.

"I chose a boarding school. Using her natural ability to cheat, she changed the fact that I didn't get good grades, and by the way, she became the most popular girl in school. ”

The White Queen took the glass, took a sip, and laughed to herself.

"After graduating, I could potentially become a teacher. Because everyone thinks that I have special communication skills, I can always know everyone's personality and habits, and become friends with them. ”

"But it didn't take long for me to get tired of listening to my heart. Mr. Lieutenant General, can you relate to my feelings? All of them were transparent, their worst, their worst, their worst, their dirtiest, and their truest side, unabashedly appeared in my eyes. ”

"I never dated any boy in school because I could read the ...... in their hearts every time Dirty thoughts. ”

"I don't have a good friend in the real sense, and their enthusiasm on the surface can't hide the cruel fact that they will call me a 'bitch' and a 'little slut' behind my back."

Luke laughed, and became a spiritual mentor at the right time.

It's ironic that the hearts of those who are capable of the mind are riddled with holes.

"You have to learn to relax, Emma. Where in the world is there a pure and flawless beautiful heart, even an innocent child will use hot water to wash away the ant nest and release his malice. ”

Luke slowed his tone and said softly.

"Resist the urge to listen, so that life can be wonderful."

"Mr. Lieutenant General, every time I talk to you, I always feel very relaxed."

After drinking the glass of bourbon, the White Queen restrained her excess expression, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"That's probably because, I can't guess what you're going to say. For me, lies are even rarer than true. ”

A slender finger lightly touched Luke's chest.

Like tickling, tossing back and forth.

Another long straight leg rubbed against the leg of his trousers.

If you are an ordinary person, you may have to be careful.

Because, the White Queen can be diamondized.

It's easy to cut through skin and tear flesh apart.

What seems like a beautiful temptation may be a life-threatening move.

But Luke's face remained unchanged, and he asked in a light tone, "This is ...... Seduce? ”

"No, Mr. Lieutenant General, this is cooperation."

The White Queen's frowning brows, stretching out, with a delicate face like an iceberg, smiled and said: "As you said before, verbal promises cannot be trusted, and paper contracts can also be torn up. ”

"In this case, I think that instead of slowly building trust and reducing the efficiency of cooperation, it is better to use a deeper way to increase mutual understanding."

"What do you think?"

Glancing down at the stunning whiteness, Luke shook his head and said, "This is not a suitable battlefield. ”

"Mr. Lieutenant General, look at the group of people outside, among them are the president, cabinet officials, and Pentagon generals, all of whom are standing at the top of the pyramid of power."

The White Queen's smile became more and more intense, as if she had thrown off some kind of restraint and let herself go.

"Don't you think it's more ...... on such a formal occasion Is it exciting? ”

Luke breathed deeply, suppressing the urge in his heart.

Most of the time, he kept his sanity and avoided being swayed by impulsive emotions.

"I like to take the initiative, Emma."

Luke gripped the finger that was playing around on his chest and said in an accentuated tone, "I don't like to be led." Even if there is really going to be an in-depth exchange, when and where, it should be up to me to decide. ”

The White Queen seemed a little disappointed, and withdrew her provocative fingers.

Before Luke could breathe a sigh of relief, she leaned back, half-lying on the large desk.

"Now, White House, is that okay, Mr. Lieutenant General?"
