205 Mr. President
It was late at night, and when Eric left the Heavenly Palace, the office below was empty above the fifth floor, Gwen had gone back with her father, Director Stacy, and the students were still far away in Boston, and only Eric himself was inside, and when he had nothing to do, he flipped through the information that Coulson had given him on Senator Kelly.
This is what he took the initiative to ask for from S.H.I.E.L.D., and in return for promising not to take the initiative to attack, it is normal to ask for some information, so that Fury can rest assured and avoid anyone suspecting Raven's role.
From the information, Kelly's life can be described as having divine help.
The senator, an alumnus of Obadai, has been in business since graduating from Yale University, and his business career has had a bad start, and he has suffered shameful failures again and again, but with the help of "luck", he has survived again and again in his business career.
It can be said that without the help of "luck", Kelly would not be where he is today.
Twenty years ago, he reopened a failed gas company with the support of investors and renamed it Kelly Energy, but it was just another new failure. However, as in previous failures, a Texas energy company buys Kelly's new company and appoints him as a corporate advisor, giving him a very high salary on the same level as the company's financial officer, as well as a million-dollar worth of stock. Two years later, when the energy company fell into a debt of nearly $10 million, the same good fortune struck again, and Kelly took the opportunity to jump to a new company again.
Kelly's life began a new chapter, no matter how poor his business vision was, there was always someone willing to lend a helping hand at the right time, and even in the most dangerous of cases, Kelly was lucky enough to have a company in which he had just sold his holdings before the company collapsed. and made millions of dollars from the stock sell-off.
And so he walked step by step, and when he was fifty years old, he finally walked onto Capitol Hill and joined the Senate. Become a new star in the world's attention.
If it weren't for the Senator's efforts to force the mutant registration bill that angered the Brotherhood, perhaps there would be a President Kelly in the future.
Read the information. Eric's eyebrows tightened, he didn't know much about Kelly's identity before, only a few things from Raven, but not enough of the details. The Brotherhood chose Kelly just to use him for revenge, and later, in order to help Eric, Raven continued to be a senator and let him continue to exist in the world, using this political tree to learn some news that is not known to outsiders. But now it seems. Mr. Senator is not simple, he has an invisible net behind him, so Eric has to think about Raven's safety, after all, she doesn't know much about the Senator's life experience.
Since the Brotherhood does not have a mind controller like the Professor, when interrogating Kelly, he was interrogated by an ultra-radical illusion master, who can be an important assistant to Magneto, his strength is naturally undoubted, but no matter how high the illusion is, it can never replace the psychic ability, and the power of the illusion is separated by a layer of obstacles, making it difficult for him to directly explore the secrets of the human heart. It is also difficult to judge whether the words in the dream are subjectively interfered with, and how much inaccuracies exist in them...... But the more time passes, the more stakes become, and Raven is located on Capitol Hill, where she needs to deal with those quick-thinking old foxes constantly, and for her safety, Eric decides to summon her back as much as possible.
After all, the anti-mutant forces have all been basically figured out, and he can strike at any time if he wants, and Raven only has one.
But at this time, Raven didn't think so, she realized that her role as Kelly was getting better. Some hidden secrets are being revealed to her.
A roaring fire radiated from the fireplace, and the two senators were talking face to face. In front of Kelly was the chairman of the hearing committee, with whom Eric had a relationship.
There are some subtle changes from the last time they met. The appearance is still the same as the original person, but the inner essence seems to have been quietly reversed by some kind of potion, and time seems to have lost its due magic, so that its target escapes the pursuit of aging. Now Mr. Chairman is such a person, his eyes are deep and focused, his breathing is long and steady, the moderately myopic glasses that he usually wears on the bridge of his nose have not been removed at some point, the only thing that has not changed is his pale complexion, his face is really pale, as if all the blood under the skin has been sucked out and poured into the cup of red and thick liquid held in his right hand, even the well-informed demon girl can't help but shiver when they first meet.
From Kelly's recollections, Raven knew the leader of the Senator's faction on the other side, as well as his guide, so his posture was kept very low, and this attitude was felt by Mr. President, and his expression became more kind.
"Don't be in a hurry, I can understand your feelings." The chairman said with a smile. "I remember that after I became a senator, I received more than 200 invitations within a year, and people everywhere asked me to visit or give speeches, but I declined them all because I was soberly aware of my position, and out of a hundred seats in the Senate, I was ranked 99th in seniority, and for a long time I mainly listened and learned, and sharpened pencils for others."
"You're right, I'm about to get out of the matter, and I'm sure you know that things haven't been very stable lately." Senator Kelly said respectfully.
"It's good to realize that, after all, senators are different from the House of Representatives, the House of Representatives is more partisan, and the essence of the Senate is the House of Nobles or the House of Lords, and it is our highest duty to prevent the madness of collective sentiment, and it is the duty of the House of Representatives to be close to and follow the opinions of the people, and we do not have to work for them." The old voice sounded quietly in the reception room, and the chairman's eyes were full of wisdom.
Kelly nodded again, and these experiences were true to both the Enchantress who inherited the status and the Senator who had long since died at the Academy.
"I've heard you've been in a regular relationship with Senator Stan lately?" After passing on the experience for a while, the chairman casually mentioned it.
Stan is the presiding officer of the hearing who is clinging to Tony, in the Senate, he belongs to another faction, Kelly hurriedly told the truth, recently Stan is very concerned about the arrangement of mutants, so they can't help but have some contact.
"You hate mutants, you hate people other than ordinary people?" The Chair asked, Kelly was a little strange, and he should have been clear about his position, so the question would not be a simple one.
In connection with what he said earlier, he suddenly had an idea.
"No, I'm just using them as a political target for the time being." Kelly replied with a bow.
The answer made the corners of the chairman's mouth raise slightly, and he rubbed the crimson jewel-like cup, his expression even more soothing.
"In 1832, after graduating from our acting president, Russell went on a study tour of Germany for a year, where he became acquainted with the members of a secret society, and from then on he became fascinated with secret societies, and when he returned home, he gathered a group of friends at Yale University, and made the skull an object of worship, distinguishing it with three numbers, and founded our own secret society there."
Through Guò Illusion's inducement, the Witch knew a lot about Kelly's private life, but she had encountered difficulties only in this point, and now she immediately focused her attention when she heard the chairman mention it.
"Three-two-two is the symbol of our association, where "three-two" represents the year of the association's founding, 1832, and the latter "two" indicates that we are the second branch of that organization in Germany. But you have to note that this slight difference is an indication of our essential differences, and even today German organisations come to our country, but we are always the masters of the country – and we alone. ”
"I understand." Kelly bowed his head deeply, in front of the big men of this faction, his usually withdrawn personality could only disappear.
"Stan isn't one of ours, don't be fooled by him." The chairman instructed nonchalantly, and Kelly nodded again.
Sometimes Raven is also a little strange, she has never felt this kind of pressure in front of Magneto, but even in front of such an ordinary old man, she will feel invisibly depressed.
At this moment, the old man's words continued to echo in the room.
"A lot of people think that we have to recruit members from wealthy families in the East, preferably British immigrants with aristocratic ancestry, and they think it's a sign of our conservatism. Actually, this is not the case, we are not hostile to humans with permanent powers, and if possible, we would prefer to turn ourselves into members of the mortal powers, and even recruit them. You see, we are not against them, so I appreciate your attitude, but you have to know how to do it in moderation. ”
Kelly leaned down again.
When the chairman finished admonishing him to leave the room, the Magic Girl who played the senator breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the person on the other side was gone, there was still a faint fishy smell in the air, and this unpleasant smell came from the cup that had been drunk.
Shaking her head, Raven exited the chairman's residence and instructed the driver to drive down Pennsylvania Avenue back to his house.
There, a female alumnus is waiting for Kelly.
