Chapter 212 The Prelude to the Blind Date

The black car drove past Fifth Avenue, the banks of the East River were lit up with lights, and the river was lined with high-rise buildings that pierced the sky like spears.

This is the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the most beloved residential area for the rich and famous in New York. It is also known as the "Gold Coast" to the outside world. Many social elites like to buy real estate here to show their wealth and taste.

The military treats senior generals fairly generously, and General Ross, who was born in a famous family in the north, naturally does not worry about money. It may take decades for ordinary people to buy a residence in Manhattan’s Upper East Side The hard work can only be exchanged, but for a military boss, this is just a small matter of waving his hand.

This iron-blooded general with a tough wrist and known as "Thunder" in the Ministry of National Defense was born in a traditional military family. Both his father and grandfather had participated in the American War and performed bravely. When he was young, he was No.1 With excellent grades, he successfully graduated from West Point Military Academy. Later, he married the commander's daughter and was quickly promoted to captain. The speed of his rise was incredible like a rocket.

When Ross participated in the first war, he had already become one of the youngest majors at the time. As the leader of the battle, he won a great reputation from it. The brave performance of the soldiers also made those rumors disappear. During his military career, he was highly appreciated by the hawkish generals of the Ministry of National Defense because of his outstanding military exploits and tough attitude. He was promoted quickly until he sat on the high position of general.

The black car was parked in front of a modern-style duplex villa, and Sean got out of the car in formal attire. At this time, it was evening, the setting sun sank into the horizon, and the afterglow shone on the earth. He went forward and rang the The doorbell, the servant opened the door, General Ross has been waiting in the study for a long time.

"The military is very satisfied with the energy weapon designed by Ivan Vanke. Compared with its performance, the cost is not high, and it is strong and durable enough to be easily mass-produced."

General Ross is very satisfied with this gift from Sean. He has always advocated the spirit of hard work. Compared with many young people who are only boastful and lofty, this ally with a gentle temperament and a low-key approach is more and more appreciated by him.

In the beginning, the two sides took the interests they needed, but now they have become closer. This young man with more and more strength is already qualified to be on an equal footing with him. Therefore, General Ross wants to further increase the relationship between them.

"Technology changes life." Sean said something similar to an advertisement slogan. "The future will be better, the world is full of infinite possibilities, and energy weapons can change the form of future warfare. I am full of confidence in this."

General Ross deeply agrees with the young man's words. He has devoted his whole life to the United States. From a small soldier to the position of general of the Ministry of Defense, he has unimaginable power. What he has done in it Everything is for the honor of the soldiers themselves and their sense of mission to the country.

"Resources and land are always the eternal theme of human wars. The old era has passed. A great man said that the world is yours and ours, but it is still yours after all--Sean, you are like the rise of Sri Lanka. Tucker, will create a new era." The general patted the young man on the shoulder heavily, his tone full of emotion.

"In the future, there will not only be energy weapons, but we can have more." Sean said seriously.

General Ross nodded, opened a bottle of brandy with great interest, and invited Sean to have a drink together. The presentation meeting of the military committee did not have much impact on him, but the action plan to capture Hulk was temporarily blocked. Forced to stop.

This made Ross quite frustrated. He had an inexplicable obsession with the green beast. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Defense banned the tracking and investigation of Bruce Banner. He originally wanted to select an elite soldier from the military and inject him The serum that failed the experiment came to contend with the Hulk.

Bronski, who performed well in the arrest operation before, is a good choice, but unfortunately all this has become a fantasy.

"God bless America," the general said, raising his glass.

Sean nodded in agreement. He and General Ross are now inseparable allies. In addition, the ambitious Mr. Vice President also has a good personal relationship with him. With the cooperation of interests, sooner or later, a complicated relationship will be woven. The network, just like those large enterprises with deep roots, uses intricate exchange of interests to protect its stable position.

"Do you have a girl you like?" After talking about official business, the general began to care about Xiao En's private life again, like a gentle and amiable elder.

"... When I was in high school, I liked a girl in the next class. She was the cheerleader of the school. She was very beautiful and had a hot body. But at that time, I often transferred schools, from Los Angeles to New York, and then to Manhattan. There was contact, and then the relationship gradually faded."

Xiao En was talking nonsense, of course he understood what the general meant, although from the perspective of the marriage of interests, this is undoubtedly an excellent choice, the strong combination of himself and the military can make influence and power grow multiplied.

But from another point of view, this is also an invisible shackle. Since then, Umbrella has been branded by the military, and has added many obstacles and obstacles on the way forward. If you compare it in the long run, the loss outweighs the gain.

"The relationship in youth is always beautiful and short, and the road ahead is still very long. Choosing a life partner is also a very important part. It's like choosing a partner. Sometimes you have to choose the right person."

The general's words are full of reality and utilitarianism, but this kind of concept is a common perception in the upper class. The story of Cinderella and the prince can only appear in fairy tales. In real life, marriages that combine interests may sometimes It is more reliable than a momentary passion.

Of course, Xiao En has always been unimpressed with this kind of argument. With his current status, there is no need to force himself to do anything. Besides, the general only admires him temporarily, and he may not really be willing to marry his precious daughter to a playboy. ——Based on his current bedside partner, he can barely qualify for this title.

The general did not chase after him fiercely. He knew that this young man was very assertive and would not be easily swayed by his inner thoughts. He also believed that Betty could attract Sean's attention. In this way, his daughter could get rid of Bruce Banner That dangerous person, the connection between the Ross family and Sean became closer, and it was no longer just an alliance of interests.

"Tomorrow I'm going to hold a family dinner, if you have time, you can come and attend." Rose chuckled, "By the way, you probably haven't seen my daughter, Betty, she is my little angel. It’s time to introduce you, I believe there will be more topics among you young people.”

Xiao En smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, but felt a little strange in his heart, what is the reason for this inexplicable sense of being dragged into a blind date?

A picture of a prince of Asgard being smashed by the Hulk like a sandbag couldn't help appearing in his mind...

"Dr. Banner, I was forced." The young man said silently.
