Leaving Erica's bar, Rocky's next destination is the government administration building in Manhattan, where he sometimes has to use some unconventional means to speed up his actions. For example, using his mind gem to turn the other party into a puppet controlled by his subordinates, he has not done this kind of thing before, and the result is undoubtedly very fast and effective, and it can even save a lot of money.

Thinking like this, Rocky's speed was very fast, and in one morning, the mayor of Manhattan and those high-level cadres were all controlled by him, and even let the other party give an order to sweep away the hostile forces, which was to attack the other party through the hand of the government.

The effect is significant, and several avenues have completely lost control of the Mutant Brotherhood. Erica took the opportunity to rise and instantly swallowed up the industries of these avenues with the help of Rocky, and the speed of her rise made her peers jaw-dropping. Rarely, however, she doesn't seem to be proud of this success, because she knows that this is just the beginning, in other words, it's not an exaggeration to say that she is ambitious.

However, this cooperation with Rocky, Erica has also seen each other's methods, which undoubtedly deepened her inner vigilance against Rocky, although the relationship between them is a collaborator, but who said that collaborators can't be wary of each other? The cooperation between interests is very strong in the short term, but once the interests are achieved, it is not normal for the two sides to part ways.

Rocky's actions could not help but alarm the Brotherhood of Mutants, and Piero, the burning man stationed in Manhattan, was furious when he learned the news, and he tried to find out who was behind this matter, and called the Manhattan officials who took bribes from them, but the result was that they all said that it was an order from above, and they had no way to resist, so they could only carry it out at will.

This statement. How could Piero possibly believe? But one person said this, and ten people said the same thing, but he couldn't help but believe it, so he could only forcibly swallow this bad breath and report the situation in Manhattan to the Los Angeles headquarters, and the reply he got was wait.

"What are you waiting for? Wait for others? Wait for that guy in the shadows to jump out on his own? "Piero isn't stupid, if he is, how can he ever swing between the X-Men and the Mutant Brotherhood? If you're not smart, how can you be valued by Eric? Comprehending the meaning of the headquarters, he decided not to show his head for the time being, waiting for the other party to show his feet, and now he has a great chance of being killed by the other party in one fell swoop.

Piero had a good idea. Rocky did have the idea of knocking the mountain and swaying the tiger and luring the snake out of the hole, but he didn't plan to get rid of Piero so quickly, because at this stage the other party is undoubtedly more useful to live than dead. After all, as long as he is still here, then the people behind him feel that Manhattan is still in their hands, and they will naturally not be in a hurry. However, if he dies, all the attention of the Mutant Brotherhood will be focused here, and there will inevitably be an all-out battle between the two, which is not what Rocky wants.

The situation was temporarily stabilized. Rocky turned back to Erica's bar, and at this moment, Erica was no longer wearing a bartender suit, but wearing a black slim suit, and her intellectual and capable temperament instantly poured out of her body. The strong woman's grandeur is beyond words.

"I can't imagine that you haven't seen you for a few days, and now you have changed so much, don't you even plan to be a bartender?" When Rocky saw Erica, he couldn't help but tease each other, and now the relationship between the two is not bad. Naturally, this ridicule was also made casually, without the slightest hindrance.

Seeing Rocky here, Erica didn't feel any surprise. After all, the two have seen each other countless times during this time, and sometimes they even stay together for an entire day. Then she skillfully took off a bottle of red wine, two goblets, poured one-third of the red wine into each of the two glasses, handed a glass to Rocky, and motioned for him to kill the wine.

Naturally, Rocky would not refuse the other party's kindness, and after toasting, he continued to tease, "It seems that you have been in a good mood lately, but I know that you have only drunk a handful of times, what makes you so happy?" Speak up and listen. ”

"Isn't it a thing to be happy that the mutant brothers will come to trouble us?" Erica chuckled and then gave Rocky a very strange look, "Seriously, I'm curious how you did it. Those officials have obviously been bought by the mutant brotherhood, and they will definitely not have any 'betrayal' behavior towards them, but how did you manage to make them not only betray, but even bite them back? I'm very curious about that! Can you clear up with me? ”

Rocky raised an eyebrow when he heard this, he knew that Erica must be curious about this matter, but this was his own secret, how could she leak it to this person who had been working together for less than a few days? So naturally I lied, "Naturally, I used to have an old relationship with them." ”

Erica's face clearly said disbelief, but she was smart not to ask too much, now they belong to the honeymoon period, and her current interests are also hard-won, she naturally doesn't want the cooperation with Rocky to break down, because she knows that Rocky has the ability and possibility to abandon her and support another person, which she can't accept, so she doesn't want to offend Rocky.

I have to say that Erica is a very smart woman, and Rocky also likes to cooperate with such smart people very much, because this can undoubtedly save a lot of trouble, and it turns out that many things do not need Rocky's instructions, Erica did those things that he was very satisfied with according to his wishes, which is why he was able to tolerate Erica being wary of him, and he still has no intention of terminating the cooperation, because a qualified collaborator is not so easy to find, such as Erica.

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, now that the first step of our plan has been completed, how to take the second step, do you already have a plan now?" Erica tasted the sweetness and naturally wanted to continue, power is like attracting fans, it is very addictive, especially for an ambitious woman.

Rocky knows Erica's greed for power in her heart, but he also knows that such a woman is the easiest for her to do things for herself, because power can never end, especially in this world, even if you rule the entire earth, but what about the other species that exist in the galaxy? What about the gods who inhabit the realm of the gods and can play with humans at any time?

Now what Rocky has to do is to draw a big pie for Erica, and the big cake in the early stage is to become the underground queen of Manhattan, then the big cake in the middle is naturally to become the underground queen of the United States, and it is almost self-evident in the later stage.

"I know what you're thinking right now, but what I want to tell you is that this is not the time to rush. There is a saying in the East that you can't reach it if you want to hurry, which means that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and if you want to continue to expand the power in your hands, then you need to catch that big fish slowly. Rocky patiently explained to Erica, "The first step is now complete, and a third of Manhattan has already fallen into our hands. But in order to prevent any head-on conflict with the other party, blatant actions are almost impossible, so what we have to do now is to make some small actions in secret. You can try to reach out to the other side's mid-level cadres and buy them in various ways to make them work for you, which can also lay a solid foundation for you to win the whole of Manhattan in the future, I say that, do you understand? ”

Rocky has already said it in such detail that if Erica doesn't understand, then she's really an idiot. Obviously, she was not an idiot, and after instantly understanding what Rocky meant, she looked thoughtful, and then nodded slightly, "I understand your words, I will do it, of course, in my own way." But I've had some problems with my funding lately......"

Before Erica could finish saying this, Rocky waved his hand to stop it, and then said very generously: "You don't have to worry about this, I will help you solve the problem of funding, I have now helped you solve the problem of government convenience and funding, if you can't fight the other party, then you can only blame me for finding the wrong partner." ”

Throwing down this sentence, Rocky left Erica's bar, although he knew that saying this would make Erica feel very uncomfortable, but he had to say that this sentence was naturally to remind Erica that he is not a nanny, he can take care of all aspects of you, since it is cooperation, then naturally you need to contribute, if you just pick up benefits instead of shooting, then I can abandon a collaborator like you at any time. How could Erica not understand the subtext?

And Erica, who understood, did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face, but showed a strange expression, and the corners of her mouth provoked a very bewitching and uncommon smile, but it was the first time she had shown such a smile since she met Rocky, and it was also the first time in her life that she showed such a smile, "This man is really interesting!" I have to say that his appearance has made my life more exciting, just for this wonderful excitement, I can't let him terminate the cooperation between us, then it's time for me to do it......"
