Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hallworth Superpower Academy
"Charles, are you really going to sign an agreement, because of us?" Sam asked Charles in frustration as he watched the call be closed.
"Don't think about it, your amnesty is not worth it for me to sign the Sokvia Agreement, this deal, you are just incidental, the government has drawn a very big pie in front of me this time, I feel sorry for myself if I don't eat it, Rena, what is your opinion?" Charles interrupted Sam and asked about Rena, the biggest beneficiary of the proposal, the de facto leader of the Inhumans.
"Then this suggestion is not so good for Ravenhold Manor, after all, it is entirely because the government's attitude towards Inhumans is not friendly to Inhumans and even takes the point of imprisoning Inhumans once they are found, if the government begins to accept Inhumans positively, then Inhumans who are not in Ravenhold Manor will live very easily, and Inhumans who hide here for fear of government persecution may also choose to leave here, this suggestion will reduce the cohesion of Ravenhold Manor, so that we need to use interests to absorb other Inhumans to join, and even need to use interests to let the Inhumans here continue to live here, can no longer guarantee the loyalty of the Inhumans. β
Rena also heard the conversation between Rose and Charles throughout the whole process, and she knew when Rose put forward the conditions that Charles might agree to this matter, because the harm that Rena said was not a danger in Charles's opinion, Charles did not need the Inhumans to provide him with combat power, he himself was the strongest combat power, as for loyalty, Charles now has little contact with the Inhumans, and most of them still play with the Inhuman children.
"I don't have to think about this, I can still let those Inhumans exercise their superpowers perfectly, the number of Inhumans here won't decrease too much, don't think too much about loyalty, I don't plan to do anything big, I don't need these guys to be loyal to me. After listening to Rena's judgment, Charles spoke.
Alas, Charles thought that Rena would be the one who made the profit at first, but unexpectedly, the person who opposed this proposal the most was Rena, who wanted Ravenhold Manor to exist as a collective, not an Inhuman employment agency or an Inhuman landlord that Charles had nothing to do.
"Then there are other things to consider, such as how the government treats the Inhumans, whether to establish a special law or include superpowers in the category of weapons, Inhumans with superpowers are still special people after all, and it is impossible to really treat them as ordinary people. Also, after signing the Sokovia Agreement, whether you need to follow the government's orders needs to be considered. β
At this time, Rena returned to Charles's staff and began to question from all angles whether there would be any tricks in the deal, or whether Charles would have any uncontrollable consequences because of the signing of the "Sokovia Agreement".
"Go on. Rena's concerns are also Charles's, and Charles asks Rena to continue analyzing the consequences of the matter.
"If the government simply creates a new Inhuman law, my suggestion cannot be agreed, because the law can be changed, and if they use Inhuman superpowers to cause accidents after you sign the agreement, and then change the law, then the final living conditions of the Inhumans will not be substantially different from the current situation, and they may even lose their freedom.
At that time, if we regret it, the final consequence will be the same as now, you use powerful power to protect the Inhumans, and you still use your real identity, in this case, we will be very passive, and we will not even get the support of many Inhumans, because the government's affirmative changes must have reasons, and those reasons may not affect the lives of ordinary Inhumans, and many Inhumans are very satisfied as long as they have a peaceful life. Rena continued to explain the situation.
"Hmph, it's true that if the Inhumans were to be regulated by a special law, it would be very easy to change, and it wouldn't even cause social resentment. Charles nodded in agreement with Rena's statement, as long as Charles agreed to set a special decree, those politicians would definitely dare to treat the Inhumans into zoo animals little by little, and the law would become their whip, and the Inhumans would be sucked away little by little.
"Then there is the Inhuman race is recognized as a person who brings his own weapon, similar to a person who has the right to conceal a gun, but there is another problem, the laws of each state have completely different restrictions on the right to conceal a gun, and the difficulty of the assessment is not the same, and there are many differences in the ability of the Inhumans, just like Daisy, her shock wave ability is much more powerful than a gun, how to define the free movement of Inhumans with superpowers, but it will not cause panic in society, this is very important, if you don't think about it well, the final result is that the people begin to resist the free movement of the Inhumans, and finally form a special law, and the consequences are the sameγ β
Rena began to think about the second option, defining Inhumans as people with hidden guns, which seemed like a good choice, but no one could guarantee that those Inhumans with superpowers would really use their superpowers properly like those who passed the test for concealed guns, and would not use them for their own personal gain.
"This does need to be considered, can it be done to restrict Inhumans who have not passed the assessment from leaving their place of residence?" Charles also thought about it, and then made a suggestion that people who could not pass the assessment should not leave their place of residence, similar to a restraining order, but those who passed the examination can move freely.
"It should be possible, but who will conduct the assessment, if it is the government, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than ever. Rena's eyes lit up when she heard Charles' words, but after thinking about it, she thought about whether the government would hinder this, if it was too difficult, then all the Inhumans would have to trap themselves because they couldn't pass the assessment.
"Don't need the government, let's do it, didn't Yo-Yo say it, she wants her hometown to have a Ravenhold manor, then let's build a Ravenhold manor in every state in the United States first. Charles heard Rena's concern and spoke.
"That's great, but will the other side agree? It's almost like a new government agency. Charles's suggestion was naturally approved by Rena, and if the assessment questions were in the hands of the Inhumans themselves, then there would be no obstacles due to racial issues, but would the government agree with Charles's plan?
"Don't worry about this, if they really want to accept the Inhumans, this requirement is not a problem, the newly established Ravenhold Manor will only implement the assessment system we have established, and the rest of the management can still be handed over to the government to supervise, we are not deliberately fighting for rights, just ensuring our own rights. Charles spoke.
"Then the new Ravenhold Manor will also be like here, can you freely exercise your superpowers?" After Rena heard Charles's words, she also knew what Charles meant, if the government did not agree to Charles's request, then the government was just giving Charles a blank check, and Charles would not be bought by a blank check, and then it would be a real break.
"I'm afraid it can't be, but those who really can't control themselves can let them transfer to us for exercise, and this can still be done. Charles opened his mouth and said that he was now able to ensure the safety of Ravenhold Manor, mainly because he had connected all his houses together, but Charles had tried, if they were separated from the houses he had bound, these houses would be just ordinary houses.
"You've been talking about Ravenhold Manor, Ravenhold Manor, Charles, I don't care if you set up branches in every state in the United States, but you don't plan to call those places Ravenhold Manor, do you? β
When Falcon heard this, he also knew that as long as the government agreed to Charles's proposal, then Charles would sign the "Sokvia Agreement", but Falcon was still looking forward to being able to officially integrate the Inhuman group into this society, after all, he was also a superpower, and the difference between Inhumans and himself was only genetically different, but he didn't want to write the name of Ravenhold Manor on his superpower license, this name was too strange.
"Also, I don't want the whole world to know that I established this institution, and it really doesn't feel good to be talked about every day, so these places are called ...... Hallworth Superpower Academy, how about the name?" After hearing Falcon's words, Charles nodded, agreed to the suggestion to change the name, and then said another name.
"The name...... Well, at least I don't need to hear your last name every day, I don't have an opinion. Falcon didn't figure out what the name meant, but Charles no longer used the name Ravenhold Manor, which made Falcon very satisfied and happily agreed, and the others also laughed a little because of Falcon's words, he just didn't plan to hear the word Ravenhold every day to let Charles change the name, and now this name is not bad.
