My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk - Chapter 522
Inside the Presidential Palace, Eric met Mr. President.
Mr. President has been living a good life recently, and his face is very ruddy.
Eric thought he was under a lot of pressure, but he didn’t expect his mental state to be so good.
Seeing Eric come in, Mr. President immediately stood up and shook hands with him.
“It’s really hard for you, and the beautiful family will definitely remember your contribution to this society.”
When I came up, I put on a high hat for Eric.
Eric smiled skillfully, “I just did what I was supposed to do.”
“No, actually, Director Xavier, you’ve done more than we expected, you’ve done a great job.”
Mr. President said meaningfully.
The smile on Eric’s face remained, and he did not answer his words.
Mr. President opened the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of champagne. With a big belly, he said to Eric, “This is the champagne my son-in-law gave me. It tastes absolutely good. Would you like to try it?”
Eric knew that his son-in-law, who often made money in the name of Mr. President, was an out-and-out profiteer.
“thanks!”
He didn’t reject Mr. President’s kindness, he readily agreed.
“In reality, the government and the Department of Defense are playing less and less of a role in the face of more and more alien invasions. An agency like S.H.I.E.L.D., which is full of superheroes and unconventional weapons, plays a is becoming more and more important.”
Mr. President’s wine glass and Eric’s wine glass touched.
“Sounds reasonable.”
Eric tasted the Victory Champagne, but it didn’t taste very good.
“So people from the Ministry of Defense and the Senate hope that the government will increase investment in S.H.I.E.L.D. to prevent things from happening again in the future. But…”
Mr. President’s topic changed.
“uh-huh?”
Eric continued to act stupid.
Mr. President saw that Eric would not enter the market, so he had to continue: “The departments and functions of S.H.I.E.L.D. have been expanded, but the corresponding rights must also be restricted. The people in the Senate suggested setting up a council to conduct consultations on S.H.I.E.L.D. affairs. .”
“Council?”
Eric put down the glass and looked at Mr. President.
Mr. President is a little unnatural. After so many incidents, he has learned how dangerous this guy is.
There is a guy with superheroes such as Batman, Motherland and Speedmaster. If the other party wants to turn his face, absolutely no one can stop him.
So, being stared at by Eric’s eyes, he was a little dazed.
asshole! If I had known that I would not open this mouth, let the vampires provoke this guy by themselves, what am I going to join in the fun? !
Mr. President began to scold these people behind the scenes. They were all shrewd tortoises. If he didn’t talk to him himself, he had to do it for him.
“Yes, the council. Most matters are handled through consultation by the members of the council. Of course, you are the chairman of the council.”
Eric nodded clearly, this is to divide his power.
“Then can I know who else is on the council besides me?”
Mr. President did not name the members, picked up the office phone and called his staff.
After hanging up the phone, he faced Eric with a smile on his face, “One of the members, who was waiting outside the White House, came in right away.”
Mr. President said this, Eric’s interest came.
He wanted to know who had the guts to jump into it knowing it was a fire pit.
Click!
The door was gently pushed open, and a beautiful girl walked in.
Light-colored office clothes, long blond hair, and tall figure.
Even wearing sunglasses, Eric can see her identity.
Congressman Victoria Newman, headshot girl!
At the congressional consultation meeting, Eric used a drone to blind one eye and quit the political arena. Unexpectedly, he reappeared in front of Eric now.
Looking at the high-spirited Victoria who was back on the road, Eric had the feeling that something was wrong.
The last time I saw her was when I was fighting wits with the Walter Company.
Unexpectedly, he now controls the Water Company, and the other party has become a weapon to stand up to him.
Should it be said that everything is a cycle?
Thinking of this, he laughed dumbly.
No, what I pursue is never those commercial successes.
Therefore, I will definitely not go down the old road of Walter Company.
Seeing Eric laugh, Victoria’s eyebrows raised.
She thought Eric was laughing at her.
Blind in one eye, she is very sensitive, so she has a bad impression of Eric’s smile.
Eric naturally didn’t know Victoria’s inner thoughts, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
He is just a small person, even if he meets those careerists again and returns to politics, what can he represent?
It’s just a **** pushed to the front by those politicians, or the kind that will be abandoned at any time.
“Hello, Miss Victoria.”
Eric stretched out his hand and took the initiative to shake her hand.
Victoria and Eric shook hands, “I didn’t expect Mr. Eric to remember me.”
“of course I remember.”
Eric smiled slightly, “I was still there when the tragedy in Congress happened.”
Victoria’s eyes narrowed.
Speaking of which, she did see Eric at the scene.
Then in that congressional consultation case, who launched a surprise attack on him and blinded him in his left eye?
She has always been brooding about the accident. Without that accident, her political career would not have ended, and she would not have spent so long in the hospital complaining and feeling sorry for herself.
So she has been secretly investigating the real culprit behind the incident~www.mtlnovel.com~Victoria hates others for ruining her political career, but did not think of those who were killed by her headshots.
She stared at Eric, trying to find something in his eyes.
is it him?
Was it everything he started behind his back?
Eric’s eyes didn’t change, he shook hands with her with a faint smile.
“I believe you will be able to cooperate well and maintain the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Of course, Miss Victoria is mainly to assist you, Mr. Eric.”
Perhaps because he was afraid that Eric would be unhappy, Mr. President added another sentence.
“I will, I will.”
Eric let go of his hand and stared into Victoria’s eyes, “I can’t forget the scene at that time. I already have clues about the murderer who caused the tragedy. Miss Victoria, would you like to hear it?”
“Ok?”
Victoria was stunned.
She started to get a little scared. Did the other party really have any evidence?
If it is true, is your handle being pinched by the other party?
Then, wouldn’t you be completely finished playing? !
I was sent to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Eric to seize power. Now that my handle is in the hands of the other party, isn’t it possible that there is no room for me to use it.
After Eric said something that surprised Victoria, he turned and walked out.
“About this, we can talk again next time. I have something else to do, Mr. President, Ms. Victoria, let’s go first. If you have anything, the two of you can contact my secretary-Miss Kate Fox.”
