It's been a full month since El was in a coma and woke up, in that time. The whole of America has exploded, and of course it's not just because of El, but also Tony.

Two of the most prominent men of America's era are missing and the other has been kidnapped by al-Qaeda. Fueled by the media, doubts about the current U.S. administration have become louder and louder, and the president's approval rating has dropped dramatically.

"You tell me, as the most powerful country in the whole world. Where have all the soldiers of the United States of America gone? "In his office in the White House, the incumbent president roared.

"With all due respect, Mr. President. Tony Stark's disappearance isn't a big deal, just an arms dealer. Now the shareholders of Stark Industries don't know how happy to be. And Elcid L. Stoker has now reappeared in public. The secretary of state reassured the president.

"What! Why didn't anyone tell me? The president was surprised.

"That's because you've been growling, day to night, like a male dog in heat." The secretary thought to herself, but she couldn't say that unless she didn't want to.

"The news that has just been released, you will know by looking at the news." The secretary replied cautiously.

The president glanced at the secretary helplessly, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew a writer could have so much energy? If the approval rating drops, it will fall, and he will soon leave office anyway. But the most important thing is that the group of parliamentarians and the consortium behind them have spoken, and Elcid must be found.

From an ordinary government official to the president, how many people are more capable than themselves, but only themselves have come to this position. It's not because I'm strong enough, it's just because I'm lucky enough and obedient enough. The people can be offended, but the consortium must not be offended. Even Kennedy, who is the same chaebol as them, can be killed mercilessly, not to mention his own middle-class background.

"That's good. Tony Stark is leaving things to S.H.I.E.L.D., and I don't want to see any more surprises. The president commanded. Now that Elcid has returned, the pressure on parliamentarians and chaebols will also wane. As for whether Tony Stark can be saved, it depends on the battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the group of jackals on Wall Street. Although Tony himself is also a member of the chaebol, there are only interests and money in the world of capital, and any warmth does not exist, and the friendship between capitalists is terrible.

At this time, El was sitting in his office, listening to Maria Hill's report. Condolences from book lovers fill all drawers, and invitations from people from all walks of life are on the table. For the letter of the book lover, the person who really cares about him is selected to give a receipt.

As for the invitations, El gave them to Hill to deal with, and El did not plan to go to the banquet, as most of them were ceremonial. This is the rule of the class in which El belongs, a useless and ridiculous rule, at least in Eyre's opinion.

"You can't completely reject everyone. It's necessary for interpersonal communication, sir. Hill reminded El.

"I don't go to anyone's banquet alone, and the receipt tells them that I'll have a banquet on a proper day. Well, just three days later, the Hilton. ”

"Yes, sir." Maria Hill picked up the invitation on the table and walked out. At the same time, he pondered the answer he should give to S.H.I.E.L.D.

After Maria Hill, who goes by the alias Linda, leaves, the bookshelf behind El suddenly opens. A black-haired young man with a thin figure, a melancholy temperament, and an aristocratic demeanor walked out.

"It looks like Maria Hill has gotten out of your grasp."

Hearing the words of the black-haired youth, El was not surprised, but seemed to have expected it a long time ago.

"So long. If S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't discovered Maria Hill's anomaly, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't have become the largest secret service in the Americas. There are many hidden mysteries in this world, and comics are just comics after all, and they can't fully analyze this world. ”

"I know this very well, after all, I am also a comic book character in the eyes of people in other worlds. If I can't even accept that, wouldn't it be completely useless for you to copy me? ”

"Lelouch is worthy of you, your last name is no longer available. After all, Brittania itself means England. I've succeeded in the new concept, which is an orphan who has become a street gangster named Mark Dress. If Lelouch's name continues to be used, it can only be internal. From now on, Mark Dresse is your ID card in this world. ”

"Yes." Lelouch answered, and began his work. Mastermind, this is Lelouch's current profession. In ancient times, generals and officials had their own advisors, and the head of the advisors was called the mastermind. El summoned Lelouch because of Lelouch's excellent brain. A hero with three gangs, a cabbage with three piles, it won't work alone, El needs to have his own organization.

Lelouch pursed his lips and said, "According to the progress provided in the comics, Tony Stark will become Iron Man in the near future. As the core figure of the Avengers in the future, it is necessary to befriend him.

Therefore, I suggest that now is the time to take advantage of the collapse of Stark Industries' stock price and buy up Stark Industries' shares, so that if we step up and support Tony Stark when Obadet is dealing with him, we will reap his friendship. At the same time, the economic foundation of the Avengers is actually Stark Industries, unlike Batman's Wayne Enterprises, as long as we own the shares of Stark Industries, we can restrain the Avengers. ”

Hearing Lelouch's suggestion, El pondered. The Justice League and the Avengers, these are two organizations that are bound to emerge. The Justice League has always been suspicious of the government because of Batman's philosophy. The Avengers were established by S.H.I.E.L.D., although they are nominally independent and free organizations, but they are inextricably linked to the U.S. government, and even after the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., some U.S. government dispatches will be carried out in the Avengers.

"Hard, let me in." El called his finance manager to come.

"At your command, sir." Harder hurried into El's office.

"I'm going to buy a fractional stake in Stark Industries, and I'm going to see results within 10 days."

"With all due respect, sir. Now that Tony Stark's fate is uncertain, Stark's stock is sliding like a waterfall, and buying Stark Industries is not a good idea. ”

"Do you think the U.S. government will die for a billionaire anytime soon? Or think that a company built since World War II will collapse because of the death of a playboy. If you think about it, you will never get it again if you miss this opportunity. Now, immediately, immediately, give it to me! El's tone sent Harder to leave in a hurry.
