The applause subsided slightly, and Eric continued: "Today is a happy day. Monnorman introduced me to me, and I am honored to be able to meet you here, and I hope that this day will be the beginning, not the end, of our friendship. He shouted Norman's name with a rather affectionate look, like an old friend who had known him for many years. It's the same with Osborne, they're already in the same boat, it's normal to take advantage of each other, it's strange to be reserved.

"I don't like mutants." Someone in the crowd shouted again, and Eric smiled.

"It's your freedom, and you can continue to keep your point of view." He spoke to the man, and someone else stepped forward.

"I hate you too." The man shouted on the other side, he put his hands around his mouth, as if he was afraid that people would not hear, and the two ladies around him were startled by his sudden loud voice, and hurriedly walked away in disgust.

"I support you, please don't waver." Eric applauded the gentleman, and his attitude and tone were so sincere that one could feel that he was not sarcastic, but thought so from the heart. Then the question arises - is he really a mutant with this attitude towards his opponents?

People are starting to get curious now.

Eric stepped down and stepped up to the front of the crowd.

"I think I can understand the feelings of the two men." He said. "I've always seen this opposition as jealousy, why?"

Eric looked around, and people looked at him curiously, eager to know the answer.

"Because I'm young, handsome, and rich."

His answer made the crowd laugh, and the slightly conceited tone was very much to the liking of these successful people, and some of the neutral young people even stamped their feet wildly at his brilliant explanation.

"The reason for the money. Not just because of the abilities of mutants, but because of the qualities of a person. As long as the person is self-motivated and works hard for it. He can do this regardless of whether he is a mutant or not. I'm proud of my qualities, so I hope these two friends continue to maintain their opinions, which is the most fundamental difference between us. There was another chuckle, and the excitement of the people dropped slightly, but the remark was more widely praised, which is a truth generally recognized by society, and this argument is particularly in line with the needs of the upper classes, and the vested interests certainly do not think that it is a monopoly that leads to class division. Rather, it is customary to attribute it to laziness and stupidity, and even racial characteristics.

Norman took the microphone, and he was going to reappear.

"Eric is a strong man, an interesting man, and a man who can bring us wealth and honor. I laughed a few days ago when my son Harry told me that he was going to give me a rare gift. Norman said, spreading his hands and looking at Harry in despair.

"My son, what in the world is what you can get. And what your father can't get? I was happy at the deep bond between father and son, but it was inevitable that I didn't pay enough attention to it, but thankfully I was taught by Harry that there were really things in the world that he could get and I couldn't. As he spoke, he pointed his finger at his son. Thank you, Harry. ”

Harry was a little shy. Aware of this, his friends began to whistle and people laughed good-naturedly. By this time, Mary Jane had already been pushed aside. But Gwen wasn't beside Harry either, she just smiled politely and clapped her hands. It seems that they are not calling. Instead, some of the little stars who were hired to receive guests surrounded him, like a group of stars next to the moon.

Norman wasn't done yet. What follows is the core of today's reception, where he wants to unravel the mystery step by step and revive Osborne's momentum.

"Now I'm going to ask you to share my joy - a piece of metal that is lighter than air." He pulled out the piece of metal that Eric had given Harry, then let go of his hand, the gleaming silver object floating in the air like a light feather as it broke out of his grasp.

People began to exclaim that there were many high-ranking people in the industry, such as Stark and Obadi, who might have a little less wealth and a little lower status, but they were not so shallow as to understand the meaning behind this new metal, and they came forward to Norman to ask to see it, and Norman generously complied with their request, and did not take it back into their hands until they had carefully checked and confirmed it.

"As you all know, there are very few truly priceless treasures in this world." Norman pulled out a stack of bills and spilled them into the sky, walking slowly among the green bills that fell one after another.

"With money, you can buy gold, you can buy health, you can buy friendship, you can put yourself above all people, and as long as you have enough money, you think you can do anything. But when you realize the existence of cognition, you will be amazed, because it is not a product of your concept, and you have to have some chance to get it. Just like this board now. No, it's not a board, in my eyes, it's the industrial flower of the future, the beginning of a new era of technology, and a testament to the peers of Osborne Industries and Explorer. Norman's tone grew agitated, and Obadiah winked at Eric in the crowd below, who was now invisible.

People are a little puzzled and don't understand how Osborne Industries could be involved with Exploration Space, everyone knows the story of the birth some time ago, and even some people vaguely guessed that Osborne planned the attack that caused Exploration Space to fall into trouble, but they couldn't find evidence.

Ignoring the suspicions, Norman held the suspended metal and continued.

"I was thrilled when I saw what I had come to expect from a gift that was lighter, stronger, more resistant to wear and tear, and that was just a piece of steel that would now allow us to touch the technology of our dreams, and the gift came from Eric. I want to thank you, Eric! Eric held the glass in his left hand and bowed to him slightly.

"This is our future." Norman exclaimed, holding the metal piece aloft and gazing intently at the glow of the lamp, his tone full of amazement and praise, and one could tell that he was genuinely admiring.

"I hereby announce that Osborne, Exploration Spaceflight, and the mutants, represented by Mr. Eric, will enter into a strategic partnership."

The mystery was revealed, and the crowd burst into discussion.

They can not care if there is a war, famine, or epidemic elsewhere in the world, but they cannot but care about politics, which is related to how much money they can make with the form, and the economy, which determines their status.

It is not surprising that this is a country of money, and when you understand that some people can spend five million for the position of an ambassador, while others want thousands of people to share a public toilet, you can understand that the cornerstone of society is nothing else but money.

Now Eric is looking for money. After the peace agreement is reached, the government will definitely be wary of the expansion of mutant power, but they will not care about the increase in mutant wealth, as long as he has not tried to rob other people's pockets, or squeezed the low-end market and made a large number of workers unemployed, there is no need to worry about the members of Congress to run for election, like boycotting Chinese workers.

They would even ask him to bend down with a flattering smile and a humble gesture, something that the real Magneto had struggled for decades could not do, and Eric could do as long as he used his abilities correctly.

As he said before, there are people who are powerful and can drop a boulder down a mountain. He can't, but with the help of a lever, he can also pry up a behemoth that someone else can only lift after sweating.

In the absence of biomorphism, skill is almost equal to strength.

And the same is true of money, when it accumulates a certain amount, it can almost be equated with power.

With money in one hand and a sword in the other, this is Eric's new image for mutants. It will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and leave a strong impression on humanity in the coming decades.

Those who follow me prosper, those who go against me perish – for former reincarnations, this is more than just a slogan.

It's a bloody reality with a golden sheen.

Leaving Eric aside, let's take a look at the situation in the field.

The crowd was boiling, they were still exchanging opinions with each other, and the change today was beyond their expectations.

Osborne and Discovery Space are two companies that are simply brothers and sisters, and neither of them has been doing very well lately. The Department of Defense failed to make a procurement deal that sent Osborne's stock price down 40 percent, and Exploration Space failed to reap the benefits, with an attack costing them all the connections of the company's top management, product prototypes and the purchasing committee. When it comes to importance, the sequence has to be reversed. This is already a devastating blow, and the ghost armor incident that followed has pushed the exploration of space flight to the forefront, if it weren't for Obadai's old scheming and timely transfer of responsibility, maybe his hard work would have been ruined.

Not only did the Ghost Armor incident hurt Spaceflight again, but Osborne didn't get any benefit, and many people's eyes fell on them again, comparing this disaster to the previous attack, so Osborne's shape shì was even worse again. If the board had not wanted to wait and see until the stock price had recovered, the industrial conglomerate founded by Norman would have changed hands.

In a world without Eric, Norman may eventually lose his company or take a risk to eliminate opposition from the boardroom, but Harry can finally turn the tide and negotiate with his rival Obadai to form a pattern of two humans and one mutant, with each other at bay, and no one will try to overwhelm the other, and the beneficiaries will be the three parties.

Now that his plan has finally succeeded, it depends on whether the shape can be carried out as scheduled. (To be continued!)
