053 Edgar's Prejudices, the Motherland's Complexity

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two came to the eighty-second floor, which they had never set foot on.

Edgar, President of Walter!

He was one of the most powerful agents of Walter since the seventies.

Rising from an obscure African-American to a legend at the top of the Waters Group in the twenty-first century.

Some say he comes from a secluded tribe in Africa, some say he received funding from the evil organization Hydra during World War II, and some say he graduated from the Skull and Bones Society of Ivy League University in the United States......

But now, because of his seniority and power, everything is not considered.

Inside, the office is elegantly furnished.

The black, white and grey mix exudes sleek and minimalist, and the most striking feature is the huge TV screen installed at one end of the office.

The Motherland went into the office alone.

You can hear a congresswoman named Newman on TV, giving an uplifting speech.

The powerful incitement excited the ignorant people around him.

And Edgar sat in the chair of the office calmly, holding the pen and signing documents, large and small.

Hearing that someone was coming, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the motherland.

After signing the document in a hurry, he raised his swarthy head and looked at the motherland with a pair of empty eyes.

It was a kind of high-minded gaze that mattered of life and death.

It's as if no one cares.

And the motherland is also the first time to see the head of this Walter Group, President Edgar, squinting slightly and looking at the man in front of him.

Beneath the polite manners, all that is hidden is arrogance and prejudice!

"You called me...... Let's get straight to the point! I thought you never cared about and cared about the Super Seven? Think it's a toy? Even the transparent man and Maeve died, and they didn't see you there! ”

The Motherland did not sit down.

After briefly meeting Edgar's eyes, he glanced at the congresswoman who was speaking on the huge screen in front of him.

But there was no hint of awe in his tone.

"Of course I care about you, you are the company's most valuable asset, look at the portraits and sculptures of you hanging everywhere in the Walter Group."

Edgar looked up, a ceremonial smile on his lips, and gestured to the scrolls on the walls around him.

But the calm tone doesn't make people feel comfortable in the slightest.

"As for the departure of Maeve and Transparent, I deeply regret it, but the operation of the Walt Group requires me to do my best, and as for the fact that I called you over, it is naturally because of your emotional condition......"

"Oh, my emotional problems? I feel good. ”

The Motherland took their eyes off the TV screen as Congresswoman Newman.

A smile naturally appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stared at Edgar calmly.

"Really? Motherland! You pretend to be an idol superhero admired by thousands of people during the day, but at night you kill people like a hemp, killing villains and gangsters, even thieves and thugs, and they don't deserve death. ”

"And if you think about the recent nightly killings on the streets of gangsters and terrorist bases, why can't you see voices and waves on the Internet at all......"

"You're sick, motherland. We suspect that you have a serious mental illness, think about you in the past, and think about you now, would you want to kill Madeleine, whom you consider a family member? Ever since you fought Superman in Metropolis, it's like something has changed dramatically......"

The smile on Edgar's lips grew stronger.

The empty and boring eyes are staring at the motherland without any emotion, and the black-rimmed glasses are worn on the dark skin, revealing wisdom.

The idea clearly enumerates all kinds of abnormalities of the motherland, as if all the evidence is pointing to the diseases of the motherland.

"President Edgar? If you're going to tell me this, then I'm not interested, and as the leader of the Super Seven, I still have important things to do......"

The people of the motherland do not want to do too much research and analysis about the intricate memories in their minds.

Fragments of memories that sometimes come to light in your sleep.

Even he couldn't tell if it was a dream or an illusion.

As for the usual, the killing in the dark night is all to vent his emotions, and he has no moral constraints at all.

"Are you running away?"

Edgar slowly took off his glasses, his wise and mysterious eyes looking straight at the fleeing motherlanders.

It seemed to poke at his heart.

And the Motherland stopped.

Turning his head to look at Edgar's empty eyes and oozing smile.

The office was immediately tense, and only the loud speeches of the congresswomen on TV did not silence the place.

"You guessed it wrong! President of Edgar. ”

Feeling the intimidating temperament of Edgar, the Motherland did not retreat, but came to him with great strides, and said coldly:

"I enjoy the adoration and admiration of my fans during the day, but it doesn't affect the thrill of my nightly killing, people always like to be black and white, but don't forget that human nature is complex......"

"What kind of person I become, from beginning to end, I decide for myself, there is no schizophrenia at all, as you say......"

As he spoke, the Motherland came to Edgar's desk.

With his right hand, he picked up the manuscript that President Edgar had reviewed just now, and directly crumpled it into a ball of waste paper in front of him, warning the demonstration:

"It's like this piece of paper, only I define the shape and shape of it!"

In the end, the motherland directly tore up the waste paper ball into confetti in front of him, and scattered it all over the room.

Edgar's polite smile faded away.

The cold eyes did not have good words to persuade him, staring at this motherland who provoked him.

The amount of self-cultivation maintained all year round did not vent directly, but chose an attitude of active weakness and said:

"If there is no schizophrenia, then Madeleine's worries are unfounded, I have always believed that you will lead the Walter Group to new heights, and I hope that the future will be as I look forward to!"

His tone was slow and methodical, revealing a gentle charm, and his eyes rarely revealed a touch of expectation.

The motherland people prop their hands on their desks, and their bodies are condescending.

looked at Edgar with a surprised look, and didn't expect that the other party didn't even insist, and directly retracted what he just said.

"It seems that you are different from the other people in the Walt Group that I think, and this is probably the difference between the employees and the chairman."

The motherland said indifferently.

"I've heard about Madeleine! But she is also sincere to you, and she is afraid that you will have mental problems......"

"But I think I'm doing so well now, and I'm happy with ...... now."

"That's good, there have been many supervillain terrorist attacks in Manhattan recently, I will have the Crime Analysis Division fully cooperate with you in the fight against criminals, and I promise that our cooperation will make you the brightest star among superheroes!"

Ed's deep gaze revealed a little precious sincerity.

The heartbeat and pulse beat calmly, as if everything was like the map drawn, and I did my best to serve the people of the motherland.

"I don't want to be a rising star, it's too bleak! I want to be the brightest sun in this sky. ”

"Everything is as you wish, motherland."

Edgar watched the departure of his countrymen.

The polite appearance was gone, replaced by a hollow numbness and a slight coldness after taking off the mask.

Scanning the scraps of paper scattered on the ground, he slowly picked up his mobile phone and dialed a call:

"Storm, maybe you should come to the Waters building sooner to help me get out of trouble......"

"Don't worry, my old friend Edgar! I just came to a snowy cave, and guess what I found inside, it was the Winter Soldier......"

The joy in the light voice of the storm was indescribable, and years of experience seemed to make her forget the existence of these old antiques.

I didn't expect to get involved in the adventure by chance, and there were unexpected surprises.

And when all this happened, even Edgar on the phone rarely smiled when he heard it, and said in a deep voice:

"Good luck then, Storm! We look forward to welcoming you back to New York soon......"
