Chapter 281: She's Good at Beating People
"Only by grasping the past can we control the future. You know that better than I do."
Because of this sentence, Grant spent the whole night wondering if Magneto had discovered the arrangements he had left behind when he traveled to World War II, and wondered where his identity as a dark shadow warrior might be secret, so that the plan to sneak into Skye's "laboratory" late at night to check the situation was canceled. In the end, nothing came of it.
He really couldn't understand how Magneto could possibly know that the Dark Shadow Warrior was him. But if they don't know, what's the matter? There doesn't seem to be any other way to use this phrase, right?
In the end, Grant could only have doubts and continued to attend the meeting that had been separated by three days in a low-key manner as an "insulator".
Grant woke up late due to a poor night's sleep. By the time he reached the venue, there were only a handful of empty seats.
In fact, he was the last to arrive, so it attracted a lot of attention. But it's only for a moment. Insulator is really not a big star, and his tardiness doesn't cause much wind and waves.
At the back of the seats of the Wicked Six, except for Doctor Octopus and Sandman on the podium, the people around Grant's place looked at him a few more times, and some watched him from the moment he walked through the entrance to the venue. They found it hard to remember seeing such a person.
It's really low-key.
As for the remaining vacant positions, they include Banner and Betty of the Avengers, as well as Fitz and Simmons on the S.H.I.E.L.D. side. The absence of the first two has indeed attracted a lot of attention, but the latter two are not much better than Grant. Although the four of them are all from important forces, after all, they are not the chief representatives of their respective forces, and they are not even the second, third, fourth, and fifth representatives.
There's no doubt that Banner, Betty, Fitz, and Simmons are all working hard in Skye's "lab." They will be absent. Grant had known this for a long time. The three organizers who presided over the meeting also got the news, and the meeting did not stop because of this. However, Skye, the owner of the "laboratory", had to hand over the room to a group of scientists because he wanted to support the Inhumans, and he came to the meeting alone.
One more point worth noting. This time, it was not Tony Stark who sat on the rostrum with the American team, but the guy who was not very strong but had a full sense of presence - Spider-Man wearing a mesh hood and a red and blue uniform with a spider pattern as standard.
Spider-Man's strength is not high, that is relative. If you get hit by Thor's hammer or accidentally get rubbed by the Hulk. He's going to die of pain. But on the other hand, he also has physical qualities such as agility that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Coupled with the super touch from the mutation and the tailor-made spider combat method, he is invincible in many battles.
By the way, the phrase "full of presence" is largely not due to his strength, but to his verboseness. Teasing yourself, teasing your teammates in the Avengers, and even talking non-stop when fighting, whether you are at a disadvantage or have the upper hand...... That's what he's all about.
As for Iron Man, who also did not attend the meeting, there are currently two theories. One is that Tony Stark is working on a weapon that will shine in the coming war. This news is very encouraging for some people. But the second rumor is not so good - Stark is developing a new generation of "anti-XX" suits against one or even some of the "supervillains" here?
It's hard to say that this news has already planted hidden dangers in the upcoming United Earth Army.
Leave aside the news for the time being. People's various ideas. Due to the tossing and turning of last night's problems, and the long journey for several days in a row, Grant woke up late and was nearly ninety minutes late. However, he didn't miss too much of the meeting, because the conference has not yet gotten to the point. In the previous period, the American team at the round table, as a representative, first told everyone the latest situation in Japan, where the fire giants are located, and the western highlands of Australia, where the gnomes are entrenched, and then expressed a "heartfelt" welcome to the new super powerful fighter Magneto.
Now it's Magneto's turn to be introduced. There was no information about Magneto in the previous introduction. Now it's time to make up for it. The delegates at the round table still attached great importance to the leader of the mutants.
Actually, it's not just the roundtable delegates. Among the more than 1,000 people in the audience, at least 30 percent really have full respect for this old man. Let's not talk about his position. Just because he fought against reality countless times for the sake of his own race, and he was thrown into prison countless times and still didn't give up, this is great enough.
Regardless, the topic of today's meeting isn't Magneto's welcoming ceremony, nor is it the first time that a conference has seen multiple absences and Iron Man is making new toys. It was the long-awaited vote of the commander.
Now, it is the time for nominations that was agreed three days ago.
"Well, judging by your expressions, you can't wait to get rid of me." At the round table, the American team made a joke. Ending the previous topic, "I'll do what you want." I now leave the floor to Ms. Grey, who will be the host to preside over the voting for the commander. Please! ”
Next, Jean Grey, who was sitting next to Team America, adjusted the microphone in front of her and spoke in her slightly hoarse voice.
"Thank you, Captain, thank you." First nodded to everyone, Qin Gelei smiled politely, "I believe that in three days, everyone has a sufficient understanding of the position of the commander, as well as their own opinions on the candidate." Next, we will determine the nomination of the candidates, and then vote for the most suitable one in the afternoon meeting. ”
With that, she half-turned and nodded to Theron, who had been sitting a few feet behind her. After nodding in response, Theron picked up a tablet next to him and "stared" at it seriously. Referring to her abilities mentioned in the previous introduction, it is clear that she is "communicating" with the tablet.
Jean Grey continued.
"It's still the same rule as last time. Here I will state again. First of all, the seven people at the round table represent each of the power groups, and the people under their command can no longer participate in the election for the position of commander. Second, as long as the same person is nominated by four forces in the audience or two forces at the round table, or twenty friends who come in their personal capacity, then this person will be one of the candidates and eligible to appear on the voting list for the afternoon meeting. ”
At this point, Jean Grey turned to look at Theron again. Theron nodded again at Jean Grey, and then winked at the tablet. The next moment, more than 1,000 people on the stage, and more than 1,000 seats, all emitted blue light on the small gray table that was originally very ordinary.
That's a piece of screen!
"If you don't have a favorite candidate, you can just click the 'abstain' button on the screen." Jean Grey looked at the bewildered crowd and said lightly, "If you are sure that there is such a person in your heart, write his or her name on the screen and press 'confirm'." For five minutes after confirmation, you can still 'revoke' to change your decision. But be warned, don't mess around. Otherwise, it will increase Ms. Theron's workload, and she will beat people!
