"I don't want to hit you, but it's a fact, at least in the forty years since you disappeared, you have been replaced, and no one remembers you."

"People now only know the Walter Company, they know the Motherland, they know the Seven."

"Soldier boy?"

"I'm afraid only an old man like me will remember you."

"But the world will always belong to the young, won't it?"

Mallory smoked elegantly: "I want people to remember you, unless, you make people remember you again." ”

"Sounds so sad."

The soldier boy muttered, and then, not knowing what to think, stopped saying anything, but concentrated on eating the hamburger.

After eating, he wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked at Mallory.

"So, the deal you want to talk to me is."

"You found my former team members for me, and I killed the guy who replaced me for you?"

"Is that so?"

Mallory nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”

"Well, it's a good deal."

"And if you get rid of him, you can get back in the public eye."

"The legends of the past take on a new look, and you will become people's idols, heroes."

The soldier boy leaned back in his chair: "And then, controlled by the Walter Company again?" ”

"I saw their promo when I was in Midtown, and the damn Walter still exists."

Mallory spat out a smoke ring and said, "But Edgar is no longer there, and now the owner of the Walter Corporation is a native of the motherland." ”

"He's dead, and the Walter Company will be leaderless."

"And I assure you that as long as the Motherland is dead, the Walter Corporation will soon be dissolved."

The soldier boy laughed and said, "Your guarantee is worthless, I'm sorry, no offense, but that's the way it is." ”

Mallory thought for a moment and said, "What if it's the current Mr. President who makes this guarantee?" ”

The soldier boy raised his eyebrows: "Who is the current Mr. President?" ”

"Rick. Archibald. Mallory pressed the cigarette butt out in the ashtray.

The soldier boy narrowed his eyes slightly: "You want to say that all these activities you are carrying out now are authorized by the president?" ”

Mallory smiled and nodded, "Obviously, isn't it?" ”

The soldier boy thought for a moment and raised two fingers.

"Two conditions."

"If these two conditions are met, I will make this deal with you."

Mallory leaned forward slightly: "Let's hear it." ”

"First, I'm going to talk to Rick. President Archibald meets. ”

"Face to face."

"Not a stand-in, not a phone call, but a living Mr. President."

The Soldier Boy's request was made.

Mallory said on the spot: "Impossible. ”

"Mr. President will not agree to such a request, it is too dangerous for him."

The soldier boy spread his hands and said, "You are dealing with the most dangerous people in the world, and I have to take the same risks. ”

"So I don't think that Mr. President can do nothing, not a drop of blood, and pick the fruits of victory."

"That's a precondition, and if you don't agree, or Mr. President doesn't, then there's nothing to say."

Mallory closed his eyes and said after a moment, "I'll make a call." ”

"Please." The soldier boy in a loose blue T-shirt stood up, turned on the TV, and watched a movie about himself.

Mallory walked out of the room and winked at Frankie, signaling to be optimistic about the time bomb.

Frankie nodded, and when the door closed, he coughed dryly.

"Sir."

"Can I ask you a question?"

The soldier boy said lazily, "Tell me about it." ”

"I don't promise an answer."

Frankie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your superpower, I mean, the kind of intense radiant energy you emit from your chest. ”

"I remember you didn't have that superpower before."

"Was this something that came later?"

Listening to Franche's words, the Soldier Boy flickered in front of his eyes.

The Soviet Union scientist wearing a mask poured a large amount of the compound into his mouth, as if his mouth was going straight to the Pacific Ocean.

With a cruel smile on the face of the soldier with the rifle, he stabbed the muzzle of the gun into his mouth and shot him at the throat.

The nurse with a scalpel pinched his eyelids with a camera and tried to cut off his cornea

Those noisy voices, those hideous faces, and those unbearable pasts seemed to catch up with him again.

"Nope."

"No!"

The soldier boy held his head, his chest getting brighter and brighter, and French was so frightened that he said, "What are you doing, buddy?" ”

"Calm down, there are no enemies here."

The soldier boy snorted, taking a deep breath, he had begun to grasp the power and was able to calm the agitation it caused.

A few seconds passed.

His chest returned to normal.

He glared at Frankie fiercely, "Don't ask such boring questions in the future!" ”

At this time, Mallory walked in and looked at the two people in the room: "What am I missing?" ”

Then she said to the soldier boy, "I'm going to Washington right now and make your request to Mr. President in person." ”

"So you'd better make the second request as well, and I can bring it up with Mr. President."

The soldier boy didn't know what to think, and he smiled.

To be honest, he is handsome and has a very attractive smile.

If Mallory had been a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she felt she should have been attracted to the Soldier Boy.

"That request has nothing to do with Mr. President."

Mallory let out an 'oh' and pulled up a chair and sat down: "Then tell me what it is, I'm so mentally prepared." ”

The soldier boy pointed at French: "You get out." ”

Frankie looked at Mallory.

Mallory said without looking back: "Frankie is the only person I can trust, and I don't think it's okay for him to stay." ”

The soldier boy laughed, "That's what you said. ”

He cleared his throat and said, "The second request is you." ”

"I want you to stay with me, at least for the night."

Mallory and Frankie only then knew what he was asking for.

Frankie looked incredulous.

Mallory, he admitted, was the most charming of any older woman he had ever seen.

But no one would want to spend the night with an old woman.

Especially the soldier boy, who looks like he's in the prime of life, should be interested in young girls.

No!

He just hasn't changed in appearance, but this guy hasn't changed in forty years.

In other words, if it is normal to say, the soldier boy should be an old man of seventy or eighty.

Older than Mrs. Mallory!

Suddenly, Frankie understood.

Co-author Soldier Boy wants to have a twilight romance with Mrs. Mallory.

Mallory looked at the soldier boy quietly: "Are you serious?" ”

The soldier boy laughed: "Do I look like I'm joking?" ”

"When I was on the battlefield, I thought you had a lot of taste."

"It's a pity that you were fierce back then, and you didn't smell as much as you do now."

Mallory laughed: "I do have a lot of taste now, but I didn't expect your taste to be so strong." ”

The soldier boy shrugged his shoulders: "So, you refuse?" ”

"Frankie."

Mallory stood up and said, "Go see a movie." ”

Frankie was just a question mark popping up above his head.

Mallory has already begun to undress: "Unless you want to stay and visit." ”

Frankie secretly said 'Hell' in his heart, and quickly jumped up and left the room.

Not long after he walked out, he heard some movement coming from the room.

The Frenchman shook his head and hurriedly left.

The next morning.

Washington, White House.

In the president's office.

Mallory met President Rick as he wished. Archibald.

Mr. President smiled and said, "You look very good." ”

Mallory blushed and said, "It's okay." ”

"Mr. President, let's get down to business."

"But until then."

She pulled out a device and pressed it.

The surveillance system of the entire White House was paralyzed, even the communications system was cut off, and a burst of electronic noise rang out from the Bluetooth headsets of many people, including the president's secretary.

The president glanced at his secretary, who whispered, "There's something wrong with my headphones." ”

Then there was a knock on the door, and then the head of security at the White House came in and said, "Mr. President, our surveillance system and communications system have been cut off. ”

The president immediately looked at Mallory, his eyes falling on the remote control in her hand.

Mallory put the remote control on the table and said, "Just in case." ”

"Don't forget how the former Secretary of Defense, Mr. Wilson, stepped down."

"His phone calls with the countrymen were intercepted and stolen, and I was just worried that the same thing would happen again."

"That's why I wanted to talk to Mr. President face-to-face, so as not to be discovered by the people of the motherland."

Rick. Archibald nodded: "Your concerns are right. ”

"So, what does the Soldier Boy say?"

Mallory got straight to the point: "He wants to be able to talk to you face-to-face, just like we did." ”

Before the president could respond, General Mack, who was next to him, had already stood up and said, "No! ”

"It's too dangerous!"

"A soldier boy can easily destroy a building, and if he is allowed to come face to face with Mr. President, it is as dangerous as facing the people of the motherland."

Mallory: "That's what I said, but Soldier Boy insisted that it was a condition for him to agree to the deal. ”

Thinking of the Soldier Boy's 'second condition', Mallory felt the urge to return to New York as soon as possible.

She hadn't been so happy in a long time.

Mr. President nodded simply, "Okay, I'll have someone arrange a place and time to meet with the soldier boy." ”

"If there's a decision, someone will notify you."

General Mack and the other officials immediately looked at the president.

"Mr. President, this is too dangerous, and no one knows what kind of things the soldier boy will do."

"Yes, Mr. President, what if you are in danger."

Rick. Archibald raised his hand, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said.

"To fight a war is to take risks."

"There is no such thing as a guaranteed war."

"Now we are engaged in a secret war with the motherland, and if I am not willing to take this little risk, what can we do to defeat the motherland."

"Now, we can only pin our hopes on the soldier boys."

"So be it."

Seeing that Mr. President had already decided, the others had no choice but to give up persuasion.

Mallory picked up the remote control, restored the White House's surveillance and communication systems, and left.

Outside the president's office, a few sparrows landed on the window edge, squeaking.

The people in the office didn't care, and the president had already started talking to General Mack about meeting with the Soldier Boy.

Outside the window, no matter what a sparrow is doing, its little head is always looking into the office.

If someone looks at the sparrow with a magnifying glass at this time, they will find that the eyes of this little thing are actually extremely delicate and delicate machines.

Meanwhile.

Azu, who is far away in New York, is in his room, looking at the president and others in the White House office on the mobile phone screen.

"Covert war? That's just for you. ”

"To me, there's no secret."

"You want to use the Soldier Boy against me."

"I'm guessing that's the only way you can do it."

"Meeting at Yellowstone?"

"You can figure it out."

Azu smiled.

Mallory is indeed cautious and careful.

But she would never have thought of it.

The last time he went to Washington to participate in the award ceremony, Azu had already used the 'remodeled vision' looted from Starot to leave a lot of eyeliner near the White House.

Many birds, birds, and other small animals have been transformed into mechanical beings by him.

These things loyally monitor every move in the White House for him 24 hours a day.

Mallory went to see the president, and he knew it at once.

Hearing the screen, the president set a time to meet after Friday morning.

Azu called Ashley over.

"Organize a press conference for me." Azu said.

Ashley looked at Azu in surprise.

"What, is there a problem?" Azu asked.

Ashley hurriedly said, "No, no, no, no problem." ”

"It's just a bit of an accident."

"So, sir, what is the theme of this reception?"

Azu smiled and said, "Regarding the next in-depth cooperation between me and the Federation. ”

"Wow, that's definitely an eye-catcher."

Ashley quickly took out a notepad and wrote it down, "When are you going to hold it?" ”

"This Friday morning."

"yes, that's right."

"Get me a couple of helicopters ready then." Azu did not forget to command.

Ashley was stunned for a moment: "Helicopter? ”

"Do I need a helicopter for a press conference?"

Azu nodded: "Of course, it will be used when the time comes, as for what it will be used for, I will sell it first." ”

Ashley laughed, "Sounds mysterious, funny. ”

"No problem, I'll prepare in advance."

"Anything else?"

Azu shook his head: "No." ”

After Ashley left, Azu left downtown New York and made his Eden base.

It is now beginning to take shape, and some of these facilities are already in operation.

For example, a superhuman training ground.

As Azu passed by, he saw Ryan and Cindy training in the training ground.

In the blink of an eye, Azu came to the experimental building.

The building is the heart of the Garden of Eden, where research in different fields is carried out on each floor.

Everything from unlimited energy to bioweapons.

During the previous New York War, the alien life 'black remains' captured by Angelina were left in the biological weapons research and development center as a research object.

Every day, a group of experts in the field of biology revolve around it.

With the support of Angelina's group and Azu, the Eden base has gathered a large number of experts and talents from various fields in the Federation.

This base will become the world's top research center, and Azu is its most solid backing!
