Although the thing is in hand, it still needs some time to be carefully adjusted, after all, the person who wants to use it is not Eric himself, and if it is not operated properly, it may bring unnecessary risks, so after returning to his own world, he did not rush to hand over the Predator's auxiliary tools to Raven, but put it down for the time being, and will only put it into use after real yàn and repeated exploration.

Now he had to attend a ceremony for himself, which was an honor anyway, and it might not be much to Eric, but for the mutant leader, the title could add some luster when he was dealing with ordinary people.

So that night, dressed in the costume carefully selected for him by the secretary's wife, Eric, accompanied by the special reporter Eddie, took the students to the city council, walked the red carpet like a star, and posed a few times under the flashing lights of the reporters before entering the council hall.

There, a veteran councillor who served twice as Speaker of the New York City Council and has been in politics for many years presided over the meeting. He first read out the city council's resolution to award the mutant leader honorary citizens, and then praised the new Magneto, thanking him for saving innocent citizens many times, and after Eric's speech on stage, the ceremony was basically over, and then it was time for the reception.

There were many familiar faces invited to come this time, and when Eric stood on the stage, he not only saw Tony, the darling of the social arena, but also raised his glass to Eric from a distance, and a little bit past was Director Stacy's father and daughter, and then there was a team of heroes who had conflicts.

In the midst of the three men of the Fantastic Four, Eric saw Susan's shadow at a glance, standing beside her friend as if she were being guarded by the stars, her big eyes looking at her for a while, and then retracting for a moment.

As she spoke, she played this wordless chase game with her until the end of her speech, when the Invisible Woman covered her eyes with a glass of amber wine. Eric turned his attention away.

After patiently chatting with the so-called celebrities who came to talk to him, Eric saw Susan walking alone on a small balcony, so he managed to leave, and followed with a cup.

Passing the guests back and forth, and bypassing the tables displayed under the tabernacle, Eric stepped onto the balcony, where the light suddenly dimmed, and the slender figure appeared beside him.

Susan didn't really want to come, and she has been living outside the team since Doom left, unless there is something that requires the Fantastic Four to go with them. She would rush to meet her friends.

In fact, she waited for someone to show up.

At first, she hung up Eric's phone a few times, thinking that he would continue to call like Doom and Richard, but things were unexpected to her, and Eric never contacted her again, she didn't know that there were all kinds of thrilling events in secret during this period, but she felt that she had been cheated and secretly lost her temper in private. It wasn't until today that I suddenly heard the name of the protagonist of the award ceremony that I decided to come over temporarily.

When Eric showed up, her attention was on him, casually talking to her friends, but her eyes kept looking at the stage.

Although her brother Johnny was hit. The friend was also disgraced in the conflict, and he was reprimanded on the plane, which was not a good thing, but it left a very vivid impression on Miss Storm. Let her never forget, care so much about Cheng Dù that even Richard and Doom have never received this kind of treatment.

So when Osborne was drinking for his birthday, she couldn't help but try to play tricks on this man, but she was trapped. After that daring dance, Eric seemed to open up a new world of unbridled for her, just let her breathe in the air, and then ruthlessly closed the door and locked her out, not to mention how annoying she was.

So when Eric approached, her petty nature immediately came into play.

"Who are you?" Susan pretended not to know.

"Your old friend." Eric smiled.

"I don't remember that I had such a big man as a friend, and destroying evil is your life, why are you here, shouldn't you patrol your territory now?" Susan's merciless sarcasm.

"That's Spider-Man." Eric. "I'm not a saint, and sometimes I aspire to live another life, but the path under my feet isn't always what we want."

Hearing his hint, Susan snorted and turned her head away.

She hadn't made up her mind whether to forgive or not, but when she saw Eric again, she felt an indescribable feeling like a small arrow shot far into her heart.

Eric admired her delicate side, Susan had a special attraction to him, perhaps he had met similar people in his life, all of them wild with a simple temperament.

In this delicate and indescribable atmosphere, Eric was about to make a move when a bald man stepped onto the balcony.

"Did I disturb you?" Obadiah looked at Susan's back and said, he only saw Eric come in just now.

"Maybe." Eric shrugged and changed the subject. "How are you doing?"

"It's not bad, I don't have anyone to point a finger at me since I left Tony, and I feel like the whole world has become a lot more lovely." Obadai grimaced with a look of relief.

"No regrets?" Eric asked casually. "After all, you've been in Stark for so long."

Obadiah was silent for a moment.

"I'll tell you the truth, it's a bit of a pity. Since Howard, I've become accustomed to the genius of their father and son, and now it's hard for me to fit into a bunch of blunt tires with unenlightened brains. He touched his bald head in annoyance, the research ability to explore space flight was indeed a flaw compared to Stark.

Flying armor had been around long before the appearance of the Green Goblin, and Tony had only seen a few glances in the news reports to create a better Ming in a humble cave, on the other hand, even with the prototype armor and the second-generation Ark reactor, it was always difficult to catch up with Stark's achievements, which could not help but make Obadi depressed.

Eric comforted, "I think Tony is the same, Pepper's management skills are not bad, but she doesn't have your prestige in the company. ”

After Obadi's departure, Stark Industries also ran into problems, the minority shareholders on the board of directors always wanted to challenge the authority of the new executive, and Tony didn't do anything, so Pepper was repeatedly dismantled by insiders, which was unimaginable during the Obadai era.

Hearing the reassurance, Obadiah laughed.

"Stark and I were like Romulus and Remus, working together to build the city of Rome, but there were inevitably struggles, some discomforts when we weren't together, and more problems together. But that's all in the past, and I want to thank you for letting me get rid of the aftermath deal with the government so quickly. ”

"I also want to thank you for the news, too." Eric gestured, and the two raised their glasses to each other, thanking each other.

"What's going on this time?" Eric knew that Obadi's approach wasn't just to maintain a friendship.

He didn't guess wrong, Obadai was entrusted by Aegis, this intelligence department that was only formed after World War II has long been outside the 16 intelligence agencies, and has been unnoticeable before, but with the increase of human beings, its importance has gradually become prominent, and it has conflicted with other agencies in terms of terms of reference, and the budget has formed a trend of competition with the old institutions, so they have joined forces to squeeze out.

In order to show the results of Aegis above, Director Fury came up with an idea.

"Flying battleships?" Eric stroked his glass and laughed silently, he had always thought that there was already the behemoth floating in the sky at this time, but he did not expect that its birth would have something to do with him.

"Aegis has already tried it, and they have launched a similar program to use a modified Boeing C-17 military armed transport aircraft as its air headquarters, equipped with six variable jet engines and vertical lift capability."

"But what's the use of that?" Eric smiled sarcastically. "A flying target, or a flowing coffin? Do they want to float it above the opponent's base and fall like a meteorite to crush the enemy to death? ”

Eric was very strange before, there are not many combat missions of Aegis, and most of them are against humans, and the ability to deploy quickly is not particularly important, and flying into the sky is really not of much use. The danger of this flying battleship itself is even greater than its weapons, and in the event of an accident, in addition to its own weight, the air flow of the falling object from a high altitude combined with the gravitational pull may cause a small local earthquake if it falls to the ground.

But Obadai naturally had an opinion.

"What is the use of the open day of the 6th Army, what is the use of the naval parade, it does not bring victory to the war, but the military still needs them. It allows citizens to learn about the military, rather than watching rows of soldiers walk in a streak of lines. ”

"So Fury is going to ask us for help and get some people to know his department better?" Eric understood.

"Not bad." Obadai slapped his thigh. "That's what he meant when he came to us."

This self-reliant arms dealer has had mixed feelings recently, and the joy is naturally that he has settled all the old accounts, and the worry is that after Eric's efforts, the military's evaluation of his products has dropped sharply, so when S.H.I.E.L.D. expressed its intention to purchase, he was immediately moved.

The problem now is that Aegis doesn't have a lot of money, and although it doesn't spend most of its budget on management, equipment, and logistical support like the NSA, only part of it can be used for maneuverability, but this part can't even afford an ordinary aircraft carrier.

"Are they going to pay in installments?" Eric asked.

"That's why they're looking for us, and if you're willing to help provide materials, plus my space exploration, S.H.I.E.L.D. can reduce expenses on the two biggest expenses: motivation and hull." If he had been an executive at Stark in the past, Obadiah might not have agreed, but now that it's his own company, his mind is heating up.

"If he doesn't have money, what can he do for me?" Eric was noncommittal.

"Are you short of money?" Obadai asked rhetorically.

"That's not a shortage." Eric replied.

"Then he can help you a lot." Obadai said meaningfully. (To be continued!)
