Chapter 496: I Want to Be a Little Ambitious Too
"What did you tell that kid? Why is it just over an hour, and the difference between the two is so big! Quicksilver asked, full of curiosity written on his face.
Ian leisurely poured himself a cup of coffee, then put a piece of candy, and then took a sip without speaking!
"Won't he come and assassinate me again?" Mariko still asks the crucial question.
Ian glanced up at her, and instead of answering her question, he asked first, "What do you think is needed for a large family to thrive?" ”
Everyone looked at him strangely, and Mariko was completely puzzled by the meaning of his words, but still thought for a while and said, "Resources, no, it should be said strength." The key to the prosperity of a family is to see whether it has enough resources, but in the end, these resources must be transformed into strength. Especially in today's world, if there is no strength to protect, no matter how many resources there are, they will be someone else's. ”
Ian nodded in approval: "It's rare for you to have this awareness, but do you think that if you become the controller of the Zhitian family, can you make the family glorious again?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, they sensitively felt the importance of this problem, and Logan, who was silently smoking a cigar, had a gleam in his eyes. When he was on Paradise Island, he had talked to Ian about that sad future!
Mariko is a scheming woman who hides an ambition that is diametrically opposed to her weak exterior. If Old Shida and Shingen don't die, then these ambitions will become ashes over time. But once it is given the soil to breed, it is really difficult to predict what the future will be.
In the future that Rogan knows, Mariko will be determined that the Tian family will develop well, and even be larger than it is now on the economic map, and it has to be said that he is indeed a genius in business. It's just a comparison with the style of Shingen and Lao Shishida before. She's not that tough. As she herself said, this is related to hard power, she didn't have the same strong force as the old Shishida and Shingen at that time, and even the ninja private army that had served the Shishida family for generations was not much left. So she didn't plan to develop in force from the beginning, because the foundation was too poor. Therefore, even when it comes to the military industry, it is often at a disadvantage compared with its opponents. And there are very few situations in which the court is divided. But perhaps because of this, she is more financially successful than her father and grandfather.
It's just that people's ambitions are really endless, and Mariko also got the ability to live forever when she got Logan's genes, although she is not as powerful as Logan, but after age is not a problem, she will naturally reach out to powerful force. And this is the cause of the tragedy of Wolverine's father and son killing each other in the end!
The moment Ian asked this, Logan thought a lot, and when he came back to his senses, Mariko had already opened her mouth to answer. "Grandpa brought the splendor of the Shishida family to a climax, but in his later years he spent too much time chasing the legend of eternal life. Maybe that's the key to him becoming friends with Mr. Logan! ”
Mariko said that the old Shida seems to have lost the respect he used to have, and Ian is not surprised by this, if Mariko is really as scheming as Logan said, I'm afraid this sister paper has already thought of something.
Although my father did not have so much interest in mysterious events, his ambition was so inflated that he left no room for doing things, and he made too many enemies by his own force. Even secretly contacted some crazy people. A Japan is clearly not enough for him. With that, Mariko took a deep breath. But he didn't understand that there were many, many people in this world who were stronger and smarter than him, and if he dared to stretch his tentacles too long, it would make the entire Shida family suffer! That's why Grandpa didn't like him! ”
Ian chuckled, "I see, which means you think you're going to do better than all of them, right?" ”
Mariko nodded affirmatively. And Mio behind her looked at her with a look of adoration, which couldn't help but make Professor Charles and others depressed. If Mio worships the night god moon, forget it, after all, that young man is a rare talent, but what is Mariko? A rich girl cultivated in a big family, although she doesn't have so many stinky children. But compared to these big men who have struggled since they were young to the present, it is really not enough to see. I don't know what to worship here!
Ian didn't put Mariko's so-called confidence in his eyes, in fact, when the earth is in crisis, only the family that really helps the earth will usher in glory, as for those speculators, they can't be used to fatten and slaughter at a critical moment!
"Very well, then I can tell you that you don't have much of a chance!"
Everyone was stunned, and after a long time, you said so much just to tell Mariko that she was dead?
Ian continued, "The wreath killer is very powerful, and it can be said that only a few of you here can resist it. In the whole of Japan, there are not even ten fingers that can escape from its hands, so tell me, why would the X-Men make such a sacrifice for your loyal Tian family? ”
Everyone was shocked, Ian said so, so how strong will this wreath killer be?
Maruko's delicate body shook for a moment, and after a moment of panic, she suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise: "You already know who the wreath killer is!" Wait, is it really the Night God Moon? ”
Everyone was stunned, and Quicksilver on the side decisively shook his head and denied: "Although that kid is very good, he can't do that kind of thing, if he really wants to have at least a whole team behind him to implement the plan!" And you don't know yet, while you're talking to Night God Moon, the wreath killer strikes again! As he spoke, he turned on the TV, and the news was full of the news of the death of two members of the Shida family.
Ian raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that this should be the name that Night God Moon had written in advance. And Mariko also suddenly came to her senses, but she had to think about it in the face of Ian's categorical words.
Ian continued: "I didn't say that the night god moon is a wreath killer, oh damn it, this name is too frustrating, was it given by Shingen?" It's just that I already understand the method of the wreath killer, so continuing with the question just now, why do you want mutants to sacrifice so many people to protect you? ”
"Such as ...... If Miss dies, I won't live either! Mio stepped forward directly in front of Mariko.
Ian seemed to have expected it, and his eyes widened, "You think this threat is useful? The ability to cleanse memories and control the actions of others is not uncommon, and teaching them not to use it does not mean that others do not use it. Or I'll cut off all your body and keep only one head in a vessel, and then I'll just use your power!" ”
Mio was stunned, tears began to roll in her big frightened eyes, and she took a step back and crashed into Mariko's arms, while Diana on the side slapped Ian on the back of the head, "If you have something to say, don't scare people!" ”
Ian glanced at her depressedly, "The terrifying atmosphere that I have been brewing so hard has been ruined by you, how can I talk about the conditions after that!" ”
This made everyone stunned, and they were sweating profusely, you said it earlier! It's like the X-Men are all villains.
"What do you want?" Mariko asked directly.
Ian was not verbose, "It won't be long before your father will go to hell with your grandfather, and it is estimated that there will be no one left in your Shida family." I can guarantee that the Wreath Killer will not do anything to you, and you will be able to control the entire Shida family as you wish. However, I want you to understand that it is because of the protection of the X-Men that you have all this! ”
Mariko was stunned for a long time, and finally figured it out, almost gasping and saying, "You want to control the whole of Japan!" ”
Ian shook his finger and smiled maliciously, "No, no, no, it's just that behind the scenes, the influence on the Yashida family is a bit big!" Of course, we would be happier if you were able to influence the whole of Japan! (To be continued.) )
