Marvel’s Speedsters

Soon after Gwen’s invention, it was time for routine contacts between the military and the business community, and various related companies were invited to the Pentagon on the banks of the Potomac River for a luncheon hosted by ministers, including Ross.

This morning, the sun had just risen in the sky, Ross took his female companion to the world’s largest military hub southwest of Washington, D.C., because one of his two regular girlfriends was obsessed with scientific creation, the other was about to perform on stage, and Pepper was busy with work and could not get out, so this time his female companion was the usually reclusive phoenix female piano.

Today, Qin is wearing a bright slim dress, shining like a jumping flame, long red hair carefully tied behind her head, black stockings and high heels to show the sexual | charm of mature women, coupled with her deep facial features and tower|ing moon |, which is definitely the focus of everyone’s attention.

After a rigorous screening like airport security to confirm the identity of visitors, Ross and Jean entered the Pentagon. Along the way, you can see soldiers of various branches passing by, which is very important military atmosphere.

From the entrance to the gate, they came to a huge hall with two escalators on the left and right of the hall, from where they went all the way up to the drawing room of the Minister of Defense.

It was already ten o’clock in the morning, and a ray of sunlight shone through the glass, like a bundle of shining gold threads, illuminating the spacious conference room.

Since there were no reporters to disturb, the political and business celebrities present were quite relaxed, and they automatically formed small circles and talked softly according to their relationship, and the two did not mean to contact strangers, they leaned by the railing by the window, quietly looking outside.

From this angle, you can see the rolling hills in the distance, and between the hills and the high-rise buildings behind, you can see large fields of green pines and cypresses, which sway in the wind like dark green lakes, and the forest is dotted with white and red pavilions for visitors to rest. Under the sun, the whole land seems to reflect the glow, exuding a mesmerizing atmosphere like |a colorful turquoise.

Although the Pentagon has never been known for its views, the scenery outside does make people feel peaceful.

“It’s beautiful.” Jean whispered.

Her gaze did not linger long outside the window, but quickly turned back to the hall, and Ross noticed that she had been looking at the lovely child who was attending the luncheon with her parents not far away.

“They’re cute?” Ross tentatively said.

Jean lowered her long eyelashes and didn’t speak, just nodded slightly.

The scene in front of her reminded her of the days when she traveled with her parents and sister when she was young.

Speaking of which, it has been a long, long time since she left her family.

Like many mutants, Jean initially didn’t know her true identity, until she was ten years old, in a tragic car accident, she witnessed her friend die of serious injuries, and her emotional fluctuations unlocked her potential mental power. This power is so powerful and fickle that the professor discovers Jean’s existence without even going through a brainwave amplification machine, and together with Magneto, he finds her father, John Grey, and her mother, Ms. Elaine, and persuades them to allow him to take Jean away and teach her how to control her abilities.

Jean hasn’t seen her family since that year. At first, she only used the phone to talk to her family on holidays, but as the gap in life grew, she inadvertently interrupted this call. For the professor, he thought that keeping a calm state of mind would prevent Jean’s too powerful power from spiraling out of control, so he did not encourage her to re-establish contact with her family, and it was not until much later that Jean occasionally learned that her sister Sharo had already married and gave birth to a son and a daughter, but they also died, leaving Jean’s parents alone in pain, and the unfortunate couple left the house that had left happy memories and moved to the far west.

“I sent someone to inquire about Mr. Grey, and I’ll accompany you to visit them later.”

Rose said softly, holding her hand firmly.

Jean gripped his arm tightly and nodded emphatically.

After the emotions were overflowing, she looked to the left and right.

“Does it really not matter if I come out like this?”

As a spokesperson for the Mutant Academy, Jean has had contact with some high-ranking officials here, and perhaps some of the guests present know her, and although she has modified her appearance before coming, Jean is still worried that outsiders will find out her identity.

“Don’t forget that now you are a Dutch immigrant, Miss Famik Jensen from Europe.” Rose winked at her.

With their abilities, it couldn’t be easier to do a little tricks.

Ross is a former agent, very clear about the unspoken rules of the industry, in the large number of missing people in Europe and the United States every year, there are always many real and false identities to operate, laymen rashly intervene, it is likely to fall into the trap deliberately left by the intelligence department, but for people who are really familiar with the industry, they can always find suitable loopholes to exploit as long as they are a little careful.

The real identity, combined with Qin’s telepathic ability, as long as the slightest hint, can create enough to fake the real life, in addition to the registered information, even if someone really finds the relevant person, the memory of those people has already been manipulated, some vague shadows mixed in the real experienced events, so that they believe in Qin’s life.

So Ross is not worried at all that someone will jump out and expose Jean’s identity.

What’s more, he is now also an important figure in the business world, and it will take a long time for the agents to become suspicious, obtain the consent of their superiors, and then start investigating, maybe by the time the results come out, human beings have already rushed out of the solar system, who will remember the small troubles of the past?

Having figured this out, Jean no longer worried, and when the Minister of Defense appeared with a group of high-ranking officials and took a group photo together, she tried to talk to other ladies with Ross’s encouragement.

During the two-hour party, Ross wasn’t as laid-back as he thought.

Not long after Jean left, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked over.

“Mr. Byrne, it’s not easy to meet you, I’m a huge fan of yours.” The man’s attitude was slightly exaggerated, and his body movements were also rich.

“I thought today would be an opportunity for young forces to come together, but Doom didn’t come, his business was in trouble, Stark didn’t participate, I think he completely withdrew from the defense market, now it’s just the two of us, it’s nice to meet you.”

Ross looked at the other party without speaking, and the man slapped his palm, thinking that Ross did not know his identity, so he introduced himself.

“Justin Hammer—- maybe I’m not as famous as Tony myself, but Hammer Industries is just as good as Stark.”

“Of course, I’ve heard about you. Hello, Mr. Hammer. ”

Ross kept smiling and shook Hammer’s hand.

Of course, he will not know the identity of the other party, in order to replace Tony and consolidate his relationship in the Ministry of Defense, this Mr. Hammer did not hesitate to hire Ivan, who was bent on avenging his father, to transform the steel man who imitated Tony, and finally made a big storm. But now Ivan’s father Anton is alive and well and working for himself in the laboratory, and Ivan has also been sent to Central Asia on a mission, and I don’t know how this Mr. Hammer will compete with Stark in the future.

Hammer, of course, does not know his future, and he is still pulling Ross to chatter.

“I read the report of your conversation with Tony, and I was concentrating on everything you said, although we took over Stark’s weapons department for future strategic considerations, which is not a decision-making mistake, but he did play us in terms of price, but fortunately you completely compared him, I know that Tony is outdated.”

Hammer pulled Ross and put on a “we have a lot of similarities”, and Ross had to chat casually with him.

In the end, Hammer is not a particularly annoying guy in addition to talking, at best, he is a lustful entrepreneur, and what he has done is just to imitate Iron Man to produce mechanical warriors, and when he finds that his technical strength cannot be completed, he fishes out of prison Ivan, who failed to assassinate Tony, and brings him to his own company to cooperate against Tony. Even though Ivan had an eccentric personality, Hammer tolerated it in many ways, until he finally found out that the Russians had deceived him, and locked Ivan up in a fit of anger.

From these things, in fact, Hammer’s behavior is not very bad, his only sin is that he is not the protagonist of the world, but tries to confront the protagonist.

However, in the world of Ross, who will be the protagonist—- at least not Tony, so Hammer’s fate may be reversed.

Since the other party took the initiative to express goodwill, although the laboratory and Hammer Industries did not cooperate, Ross did not mean to indifferent each other, and the two took the opportunity to chat.

The two famous young entrepreneurs stood together, which naturally attracted many people from related industries to join the conversation, and before he knew it, Ross found himself surrounded by a large group of people, including even high-ranking military officials.

In fact, it is not surprising, compared with large companies with strong capital, cutting-edge technology laboratories may still be small, but they have mastered several irreplaceable core technologies, the market prospects are extremely promising, the cash flow is quite abundant, if not for maintaining huge employee expenses, the annual profit return can even exceed fixed assets several times more.

Such a sharp increase in profits without conceptual, restructuring, and non-recurring earnings, and such a high return on net assets, from the perspective of the outside world, it is the prototype of an excellent enterprise.

Since the lab has not released its earnings to the outside world, it is still difficult to determine the exact income and expenditure, but Wall Street financiers have long set their sights on the dynamic economy, trying to get some shares from Ross. For those present, if they can establish a good relationship with this young genius in advance, once the future laboratory is listed, it may be able to win tens or even hundreds of times the return on investment.

Of course, Ross had no intention of exposing the secret to outsiders, but he did not refuse a word, just casually vaguely said a few words, and dealt with everyone’s temptation.

It wasn’t until the buffet-style luncheon began, when the minister gave a speech on stage, that the crowd around him gradually dispersed, and Jean returned to his side.

“Made a deal?”

At the table, she asked casually.

“Some cooperation intentions, not worth noting.” Ross gently waved his knife to split the plain steak.

Despite hosting partners, the Pentagon controlled spending, keeping the cost of each dish below $100.

It doesn’t matter, as long as they obediently send the order in the future, Ross never worries that Finix potions and spider silk body armor are not selling.

Jean looked at Ross’s lack of interest, and she couldn’t help but be a little curious.

“What’s most important to you?”

“Save humanity.” Ross replied casually, thinking about it and modifying it like a joke.

“Or save half of humanity.”

He said half-jokingly.

“I believe,” Jean put down her fork and gently held Ross’s hand under the table.

“At least you’ve saved me.”

Her tone was sincere.

Ross’s attack was not a bad thing for Jean, on the contrary, he saved himself from the brink of despair and was not killed by Rogan, the golden wolf, like in another world. After the dark personality is repelled, Jean tries to fight one fear against another, and Ross is the one who pins her hopes on, and during that time, she often asks Ross to punish herself with a whip. For her, whipping, though painful, can also take away guilt, just as medieval Christians used whips to atone for their sins, and Jean dispels the darkness of the heart through similar means.

This method cannot be evaluated by outsiders, but Jean feels that it works well, at least now she rarely has lost control of her power.

Ross took the opportunity to hold her backhand and seduce her underneath.

“I know your pain, don’t be deceived by the professor’s self-deceptive theory, why should you spend your life in exchange for the favor of others after entering the soil?” Always remember—- what kind of fool would think that an empty sentence engraved on his tombstone can make up for the regrets in his life, which is just meaningless self-torture! We don’t have the power to turn ourselves into zombie-like ascetics, but we deserve more! ”

If she was still a simple phoenix woman before, she might not be able to accept Ross’s theory, but after the personality reshaping, she is now as defenseless as a blank piece of paper.

The professor admired spiritual strength, and he thought that a person who could overcome his desires and | was a person with noble qualities like a saint, a good mutant, and deviating from his expectations would be considered an evil and depraved side. But do we really need to fight ourselves? How did Homeric epic Leo Deseus fight Sirens? He ordered the sailors to seal their ears with wax and then rope themselves to the mast, thus crossing the Strait of Messina, where the Kraken was entrenched, so that sometimes all we needed was a change of thought, not so much pain at all. ”

Ross said softly, anyway, the professor was not around, he could encourage as much as he wanted. Jean faced Ross’s naked seduction |, her eyes gradually lit up, her breathing was short |, and her face flushed with a wave |.

“I seem to be a little cold again, can you help me?” Jean stared into Ross’s eyes, her emerald pupils exuding endless charm.

Rothwan.

“Always available.” He said with a wink.

Then Jean reached out | slender fingers and hooked Rose’s shirt and pulled him all the way to the bathroom outside the hall.
