Chapter 273: Impulse is the Devil, the First Battle to Go Home
"You're going to run to the White House and punch the president to death?"
Howard frowned slightly, as if he was worried that Luke would act aggressively under impulse.
If Superman loses his mind and becomes an unscrupulous being, it will be a disaster for the whole world.
"Even though we all know that he is an impostor, the procedure is to find hard evidence before enforcing the law."
"That way you won't be charged with 'assassinating the president,' and Superman won't be a terrorist."
Howard calmly analyzed, like Essex Biotech, as well as Kang the Conqueror, Hydra and other forces, these are no longer a problem.
Because, Luke has returned.
There are Superman in S.H.I.E.L.D., and they can't make any waves, at most they make small moves behind their backs.
The next thing to do is to straighten out the order and gradually solve the problem.
"Do I look like I'm impulsive?"
Luke raised an eyebrow, a relaxed smile in his tone.
He could understand Howard's fears, and the simplest and most brutal means were often used last.
Gaming, fighting, jousting, fighting...... This is the norm in a game of different sizes.
No one would think that they would just sit down and violently overturn the table without even having time to think.
That will only lead to fewer and fewer people participating in the game.
In the end, I was left alone, rolling the dice alone and bored.
"I'm just coming up with an idea, don't get too nervous."
Luke waved his hand, reassuring Howard and Captain America.
"And what are you going to do?"
Howard breathed a sigh of relief, if Superman insisted on doing that, he wouldn't be able to stop the other party.
"I understand that sometimes lies are more convincing than the truth."
Luke paused, looked at Howard, and said softly: "The main problem is not the president, he sits in that seat, and everyone pays attention to his every move, and he can't make any big trouble." ”
Of course, if the president is an accordion-savvy master who often talks about the phrase "no one knows better than me", that's a different story.
If you tell the truth directly, tell the public that there is a futuristic person who has impersonated the president and banished himself to another parallel universe.
This sounds more like a science fiction movie, too advanced and not very credible.
It is not easy for people in this era to accept complex concepts such as parallel universes, future time and space, and human cloning.
"Cake should be eaten one bite at a time. I'm going to address Essex Biotech first. ”
Luke tapped his fingers on the table and asked Jarvis in his pajamas for a whiskey.
"That's the right idea."
Howard nodded, and he thought so.
Essex Biotech, with its advanced and cutting-edge cloning technology, can create a powerful army of super-soldiers at any time.
If they dare to openly assassinate themselves today, they may attack others tomorrow.
This is a time bomb that needs to be defused.
"If you want to bring down Essex, you can go to an acquaintance who can provide useful information and act as a suitable tool."
Howard's eyes flickered.
Aside from the aura of S.H.I.E.L.D. scientific advisors, world-class geniuses, etc.
He was also a successful businessman, a qualified capitalist.
How to use effective means to destroy a rising enterprise as soon as possible.
In this regard, he has a lot of experience.
After all, the more you see, the more you understand.
"You mean Emma?"
Luke quickly understood what Howard meant, and the only one who could help was Emma Frost, the White Queen of the Hellfire Club.
Speaking of which, after returning to Universe 1024, he hadn't had time to meet those ...... Women.
Reminiscing, embracing, and reliving the intimacy of the past...... These things can be put to the back of the day, and there is no hurry.
He was gone for eight months, not eight years.
Unlike Captain America, who wakes up from a deep slumber, everything is human and everything is wrong, and the severity of the huge changes has occurred.
At this point, the world situation is fast forward to the Cold War phase of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
"Bingo!"
Howard snapped his fingers and pulled the spaghetti on his plate with a fork.
This is what Jarvis just made, and it tastes average, but it fills your stomach.
The three of them sat in the restaurant and chatted, stirred up the housekeeper who had gone to bed, and by the way, let the other party settle the supper.
"You may not know that the White Queen, who is now the leader of the Hellfire Club and one of the representatives of the moderate mutants."
Howard rolled the noodles and said, "Essex Biotech, they are very interested in mutants, and three months after you left, they took over the mutant work that was originally in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. by order of the president and pressure from the Pentagon. ”
"Originally, S.H.I.E.L.D. adopted a gentle policy towards mutants. Co-opting, surveillance, and recording lists have greatly eased the relationship between the two sides. ”
"But Essex is not so patient, they continue the military's rough and tough way of doing things, and they have caused a lot of chaos and fueled public opinion."
Hearing this, Luke's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were a little colder.
"From what I know about Emma, she should make a move."
For the White Queen, Essex Biotech is just a small role on the surface.
Behind it stands Mr. Omen, an alpha-class mutant with multiple abilities.
"They have happened some...... Conflict. ”
Howard nodded.
The White Queen is not the kind of character who swallows her anger.
Her Hellfire Club has been in a fight with Essex Biotech several times, but has never been able to gain the upper hand.
"Originally, at the time of the Paris Peace Summit, the registration bill on mutants and related policies were ready to be introduced."
Howard had some regrets, he knew Luke's layout, and he knew how much effort S.H.I.E.L.D. put into it.
"However, Essex Biotech stepped in and turned the originally eased race relations into sharp contradictions."
Luke was silent for a moment and said softly: "It's okay, the hero on the front always needs a villain to set off." ”
"Essex, it played the role perfectly."
……
……
Hellfire Club.
Inside the hall.
The White Queen sat on the top seat, a soft and delicate red carpet that stretched from her feet to the door.
"Emma, what are you going to do?"
Kayla, the silver fox, who was standing next to her, glanced at her sister with a cold face.
During this time, Essex Biotech stepped up its efforts to capture mutants.
The clone warriors, their actions are more frequent, and more and more of their compatriots have become prisoners.
The Hellfire Club, which is the representative faction of mutants, has carried out many rescues, but with little success.
"I don't know."
The White Queen shook her head.
On the one hand, Essex Biotech has the government as an umbrella, and everything it does is reasonable and legal.
The arrest of mutants is also used for reasons such as assisting in the investigation and cooperating with the inspection.
On the other hand, she is no match for Mr. Omen.
That guy belongs to the alpha-class mutant and also has a telepathy-like innate ability.
In a head-to-head battle, the White Queen will only end up with a crushing defeat.
"I want to take everyone back to Boston, consolidate the forces at hand, unite more compatriots, and resist the oppression of Essex Biotech."
In the hall, only the White Queen and her sister Silver Fox did not have to hide their words.
"What about you? I heard that I am going to Canada with Logan? He has no hobbies other than cigar smoking, drinking, fighting, and a beastly brother by his side. ”
The White Queen persuaded.
She didn't think Wolverine was worthy of her sister, and by the public's standards, that wolf had nothing to offer except for being strong and having a wild charm.
No money, no house, and a grumpy old man who acts as a light bulb in the world of two.
If you really want to be together, you will definitely not be happy in your married life.
"You have too many misconceptions about Logan, he's actually a ...... Very obedient people. ”
Kayla smiled softly, she had tamed Wolverine a long time ago.
The only thing to consider may be the other party's older brother, the saber-toothed tiger.
Out of the instinct of the psychic ability, Kayla felt that Logan's irascible brother didn't seem to like her very much.
"I remember that S.H.I.E.L.D. originally wanted to build a school for mutants, and then you would run it...... This plan has been shelved? ”
Kayla changed the subject, and with the disappearance of Superman, the conflict between mainstream society and mutants became increasingly intense.
The situation of the Hellfire Club has also become difficult.
"That's all in the past."
The White Queen shook her head, with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
Although, she and some disappeared guy are only special friends who occasionally come to a friendly match.
However, many things are only precious when they are lost.
There is no Superman standing in front of him, bearing the covetous gaze, ill will, and pressure of the federal government, various forces.
The Hellfire Club is simply stormy and struggling.
Not to mention continuing to develop, even its own existence is threatened.
"A while ago, it seemed that everything was getting better, and it seemed that mutants would have a bright future, but in fact, it was all an illusion."
The White Queen bowed her head and said, "That's just because someone gave us hope, and when he wasn't there, all the promises came to naught." ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. can no longer shelter mutants, and without Superman, it will not be able to protect itself, and sooner or later it will be dismembered."
Kayla sighed, she was not like her sister White Queen, who was bent on becoming the leader of the mutant camp.
Being treated as equals and living a normal life is the dream of all compatriots.
She's no exception.
If you can put down roots in New York, Boston, or other cities, who wants to go to Canada?
Kayla is well aware that in Wolverine Logan's career plan, taxi drivers are actually higher priorities than lumberjacks.
"So I have such an important position in your heart? It's a real flattering. ”
A flirtatious voice came from outside the hall.
Under the White Queen's astonished gaze, Luke stepped on the red carpet and walked all the way to the top seat.
"What? Is it not happy to see me? ”
Looking at the White Queen, whose brain seemed to be down, Luke reached out and pinched the other party's chin, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
And Kayla, the silver fox standing aside, felt that her existence seemed to be a little redundant.
She was also very knowledgeable, and silently withdrew from the hall, leaving the battlefield to the two of them.
