Chapter 485: Gather at the Walter Building!
The Vought Building, at this moment, everyone is like ants on a hot pot, and they don't know what they should do.
Even the motherland in the conference room of the Super Seven was a little anxious at this time, but Edgar, who was opposite him, was still the same old god as before.
Looking at the people in the room, Ashley hugged the tablet and said in a trembling voice.
"There are more and more protesters gathered below, and there are some superpowers mixed in, and if this continues, it is very likely to cause violent conflicts, and if the superpowers do it, it will be a big deal."
"What does the Senate say?" Edgar tilted his head and asked as he looked at Ashley.
"There is no news yet, it is estimated that there is a high probability that he is not going to help us deal with this matter, he will participate in the presidential race next year, and he will not come forward at this time, which will affect his votes." Ashley looked at the tablet and replied.
"It's a normal result." Edgar nodded.
"Normal!?" The motherland swiped his hair back fiercely and gritted his teeth. "If you hadn't asked me to attend that damn press conference, things wouldn't have gotten to this point!"
"That's the best way to deal with it." Edgar said.
"'The best'? Ha?! ”
The motherland pointed to the starlight sitting in the corner and roared loudly.
"What can they do with just these few pieces of waste, huh? If it weren't for the fact that these wastes couldn't even keep a single data, how could the matter of the Sage Forest be exposed by the media, and how could those people who originally supported us be standing under us now! ”
"There is no doubt that our opponents have been hiding in the shadows, and if they can find the Sage Grove Madhouse, they can also find our other research institutes."
With this, Edgar raised his eyelids, stared coldly at the Motherland, and spoke in a calm but angry tone.
"Besides, the Sage Forest is nothing, but the fact that you secretly gave Compound 5 to terrorists and local forces around the world has been made public.
If you did it cleanly, it would be fine, but we don't have time to wipe your butt at all, and now that things have come to this point, it's all your fault, so you'd better pay attention to your attitude. ”
Hearing this, the blue tendons on the forehead of the motherland burst out, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything in the end.
Sending Compound Five out was indeed his own personal act, and he only wanted to help Madeleine achieve her goal.
At that time, the Walter Group's policy was to reach out to the military or the center of power, and for this reason, they had to get the US military to accept the opinion of superpowers entering the army, so that the Walter Group would no longer be a commercial company.
Once in power, Walter International can be transformed into a real military company, and at that time, they can send their superpowers to any place in the world at will.
Whether it is the Eurasian steppe or the land of three continents and five seas, the Walter Group can wantonly provoke wars, and use this to gradually accumulate wealth and even encroach on the development process of various countries.
And in order to help Madeleine do this, the Motherland not only assassinated the high-ranking who opposed the plan, but even took the initiative to spread Compound Five.
In this way, if all local forces and terrorist organizations in the world have superpowers, then the combat effectiveness of the enemy can be more smoothly integrated into the power center.
But what the motherland didn't expect was that he was obviously doing something secretly, not only the top management of the Walter Group knew about it, but even the enemies hidden in the shadows knew about it, and now it was even exposed.
Although the media did not name the people of the motherland who did all this, everyone can imagine that the person who can do this will definitely not be Madeleine who was pushed out by the Walter Group.
It is true that Madeleine is above 10,000 people under one person before, but with her ability, how can she do this, so since the incident happened, it means that the inside of the Walter Group is not clean at all.
Now all countries are putting pressure on Walter International, and there is a wave of anti-Walter fever in the United States, not only those people, but even some superpowers have spontaneously taken to the streets.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, so to speak, the current Walter Group is the victim who is stuck in the quagmire and cannot extricate himself, and no force will pull them in the case of being targeted by everyone.
The Walter Group has no way to threaten them with the black history of its superheroes, and at this time, the people who are still on Walter's side, except for Starlight, who can't leave, are the only heroes who are held by them.
Of course, there is no shortage of fools like Supersonic, who have been brainwashed by the Walter Group and still think he is on the side of justice.
Starlight and Supersonic are childhood sweethearts, the two have known each other since they were children, and Starlight also fired CP with each other when she first debuted, and she really wanted the other party to leave here quickly.
But unfortunately, at this moment, even she herself can't get out of the conference room for half a step, let alone pass on this information, and she can't contact Huey now.
"So what should we do now, just watch those people make trouble down there, everyone is waiting for Walter to respond, we can't hide here for the rest of our lives." The Motherland looked at Edgar and spoke.
Hearing this, Edgar's gaze shifted to the floor-to-ceiling window.
"It doesn't matter who they are, even if they provoke a violent conflict, it's even better, at least it's going to end with casualties for now, so that we can have time to turn the situation around."
"Don't you care about the lives of ordinary people, those are innocent people!" Listening to Edgar's words, Starlight was simply refreshed again.
"When they stand downstairs with a sign in the Walter Building, they will no longer be innocent people, this is their choice, besides, termites are just maintaining law and order, and even if they do it, they will do it first."
Edgar looked at Starlight slowly and said calmly.
"And we are just on the side of self-defense, and don't forget, there are also superpowers among the people who participated in the protests, and if they really want to cause casualties, the responsibility lies with them."
"But those superpowers were created by you, and you don't even care if they want to be superpowers." Starlight retorted.
But before Edgar could answer, the Motherland took the first step and pointed at Starlight and said viciously. "Shut up, you Bichi!"
Then, the Motherland turned to look at Edgar again, narrowed his eyes, and asked.
"What the hell are you waiting for?"
"I'm waiting for someone who really started the 'violent conflict' to come here." Edgar said flatly, as if he was saying something very ordinary.
The Motherland reacted quickly, and he immediately understood what Edgar meant.
"Soldier boy?"
Nodding slightly, Edgar did not deny the speculation of the motherland, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, pausing before he continued.
"Judging from the current situation, he is our worst enemy, as long as we deal with Soldier Boy and the forces behind him, even if the Vought Group is really finished, we can build a new one.
The company doesn't matter, what matters is Compound Five, and now the superpowered is no longer a legendary being, nor is it a candidate valued by God, but a product that can be manufactured.
The seeds have been planted, no matter what the future of Walter is, the world has changed, this is destined and cannot be changed, talents will not be buried, there will always be a new 'Walter' to take over all this.
It's just that the world hasn't accepted this reality yet."
Edgar's tirade did not fool the motherland, he took two steps forward, came to Edgar's face, and looked deeply at him.
"You're just afraid that the Soldier Boy will take revenge on you, right?"
"That's up to you to understand it." Edgar was not afraid to meet the eyes of the motherland, and the whole person was extremely bland.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and the eyes of the motherland flickered slightly, and I have to say that even he has no ability to see through what the man in front of him is thinking at this moment.
At this moment, there was a sudden silence outside the window, and the protesting people slowly fell silent for some reason, as if a cold snap was coming, and the atmosphere outside was dead silent.
Starlight, who was closest to the window, was the first to notice this, and she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down.
With her superhuman vision, she could clearly see that the originally noisy crowd had all quieted down at the moment, and slowly split into two parts, leaving a passage in the middle of the crowd.
In the passage of the sea of people, a group of people are silently moving towards the Walter Building.
Walking at the forefront was a man wearing a dark blue suit and holding an eagle shield, and the appearance of this person was also the key to silence the audience.
Because he is none other than the most outstanding hero in American history and the most powerful existence before the Motherland - Soldier Boy.
"He's coming."
Edgar already knew what was happening below without seeing it with his own eyes, and he looked at his countryman with a slight smile.
Looking at the man who was smiling in front of him for the first time, the motherland's clenched fists trembled, and finally he straightened up.
"When this is settled, I'll have a good chat with you."
After that, the motherland didn't stop long, gestured to the starlight eyes, and then slowly walked out of the door of the conference room.
Behind the Motherland, Starlight first glanced at Edgar, then at Ashley, then shook her head, followed in the footsteps of the Motherland, and left the place.
After the Motherland and Starlight were gone, Edgar sighed faintly.
After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, he stood up on the table, looking at Ashley beside him, Edgar said in a deep voice.
"How's the plane ready?"
"The apron at the top of the Vought building, ready to take off." Ashley immediately spoke.
Hearing this, Edgar lifted his footsteps.
"So what are you waiting for?"
