429. Voting results

The Skrulls' attack on the Avengers headquarters made headlines without any suspense.

Various news media have reported on this in detail, and even those accidents that have long been "decided" have been turned over one by one.

While the outside world was frantically discussing the Skrull incident, Tony in the Avengers headquarters frowned at the constantly changing numbers on the voting website.

In his imagination, the American people would have been more in favor of the decision to imprison the Skrulls permanently.

However, as it turned out, he was overthinking.

It has been less than 24 hours since the voting began.

But in the results of the vote, there is already a disconnect gap.

The number of people who voted for the death penalty was much higher than the number of people who supported permanent imprisonment.

—————

The gap between the two has widened over time.

How so?

Could it really be that I'm wrong?

Looking at this huge gap in real-time data, Tony fell into deep thought.

While Tony was paying attention to the real-time data of the vote, Rogge, who was sitting in the office of the Konoha headquarters, also opened the page of the voting website.

However, unlike Tony, who frowned, he did not feel the slightest surprise after seeing the polarizing data, as if he had known the result early on.

Although Rogge has not lived in the United States as long as Tony, he knows better what ordinary people are thinking than Tony.

Tony is a rich second generation born with a golden key, living in a superior environment, and receiving a typical elite education in the United States.

Growing up in this environment, even if he has the idea of protecting the people and upholding justice, there is a huge gap between him and the ordinary people.

The justice he understands is not necessarily the justice that ordinary people who do not have a high social status but occupy an absolute numerical advantage.

Moreover, he also overlooked a very important thing.

That is, ordinary people are particularly susceptible to the influence of popular emotions.

To put it simply, it is easy to follow the crowd and lose the ability to think independently and objectively.

As a simple example, if a victim of the Skrull incident appears on the Internet, that victim can trigger thousands of ordinary people to vote in favor of the death penalty.

Compared to the Skrulls from other planets, these ordinary people are more willing to give their kindness to their compatriots who have the same appearance.

So the moment Tony agreed to vote, Rogge knew that these Skrulls were dead.

As it turned out, his guess was correct.

After a brief glance at the voting data, Rogge closed the website page and put on the Kree Empire's game helmet.

He recently discovered a game called Kerry Cyber 7702 in the Kree Empire's console game library, a game that received a high score of nine stars on the Kree Empire Game Rating website.

Rather than caring about the ultimate fate of the Skrulls, he would rather spend his time pleasing himself.

…………

Three days passed in a flash, and just as Rogge was obsessed with clearing "Kerry Cyber 7702", he received a call from Tony.

"Bring your special forces team here!"

Tony's tone was a little low, and after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Rogge to answer.

As for the Skrulls, the vote closed yesterday, and although Tony and the Avengers did not approve of the final result of the vote, they could only choose to accept it.

Ten minutes later, Rogge arrived at the Avengers headquarters with a six-man special operations team that was on track.

The people of the Avengers were not willing to end the lives of these Skrulls with their own hands, so this "dirty work" naturally fell to Konoha .

Rogge did not object to this.

The Avengers don't want to be brutal executioners, but Konoha has no concerns about that.

Even if the Avengers didn't say it, Rog would offer to let Konoha execute these Skruls.

Konoha is different from the Avengers, and Konoha doesn't need any positive comments.

To some extent, Konoha even took the initiative to develop in the direction that people feared.

Word-of-mouth and positive reviews or something, just the icing on the cake, only strength is Konoha's true pursuit.

Unlike previous press conferences, the execution of the Skrulls will not be livestreamed.

However, at the site of the execution, there will be reporters from various media outlets, as well as a number of witnesses from the public and the private sector.

The scene of the execution was arranged in a prison in New York.

The time for the execution passed quickly, and it took less than a minute for it to be completely over.

There is not much difference from previous executions, the only difference is that this time, Konoha's special combat team used a blaster that Rogge bought from Xandal.

…………

"Are we really doing it wrong? Why people just don't want to let go of these Skruls, they are obviously no longer harmful. ”

Tony, who drank half a bottle of whiskey alone, said to Rogge with a crimson face.

After the execution, Tony did not return to the Avengers headquarters, but dragged Rog to the bar.

Moreover, it was the bar under Rogge's name that came to it.

Although Rogge no longer lives in New York, he still has a lot of properties in New York.

This bar is one of them.

Because he didn't care about making money or not, after coming to the bar, Rogge directly gave the clerk a day off and completely cleared the bar along with the staff.

"Strictly speaking, you're right, you're just too idealistic."

Unlike Tony, who poured glass after glass into his mouth, Rogge just tasted at his normal pace.

"Idealized? Hehe, do you think the world really needs us now? ”

Tony continued to ask, drunkenly dazed.

"Whether you need it or not, it depends on what you think, at least in my opinion, the world still needs me."

Rogge is not as sentimental as Tony, and for him, instead of thinking about these issues, it is better to study how to improve his strength.

"If you feel lost, I suggest you talk to Dr. Banner, he's a good listener and might be able to give you some good advice.

"If you were to ask me, my advice would be that you could give yourself some hobbies to spice up your life.

"For example, I like to play console games, and if you need it, I can give you the latest model of the Kree Empire."

Rogge gave his advice.

"The Kree Empire? Is there this country on Earth? ”

"No, this is an alien country, one of the three major empires of the universe!"

When Tony heard the word universe, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he pressed Rog's shoulder and said very seriously: "I'm going to the Kree Empire!" ”
