Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 126

It's a new day and the sky is clear in New York City...

The warm wind of early spring has added a bit of vitality to the city. If it weren't for the Broadway event, this should have been the most beautiful moment in New York.

On the TV, President Benjamin personally delivered a report to the entire nation. He denounced some scientists for their lack of rigorousness in scientific experiments, and shifted all responsibility to a research institute funded by the military...

Just seeing this, Jack already understands that Ross has passed the test!
No matter what it cost Ross, at least the Pentagon and White House kept him with lame lies...and it wasn't easy.

New Yorkers are notoriously difficult to deal with, and the New York media can't afford to mess with them. They won't accept the White House's explanation so easily, but it's a nonsense...

For Jack, who has gained a lot, Broadway will become a label for him... When he runs for president in the future, New Yorkers should not make things difficult for him!

Not only that, but Jack also got another surprise. The outstanding performance of mutants after this disaster was selected as the most touching event of the year by Time Magazine, which greatly changed the world's understanding of mutants. In the long run, Jack The first buds of the project with the professor bloomed.

Until the end of Benjamin's speech, Jack was still reclined on the sofa with a glass of wine... This universe is very dangerous, not only has external threats, but more crises are created by human beings themselves.

For example, this time on Broadway, Jack had already warned the military early on, and the city hall also issued a stern warning to Ross, but Ross still took chances.

Think about the badly damaged theaters, the New York police officers who died in the line of duty, and the dedicated American soldiers...they shouldn't have such a fate.

Jack can only sigh with emotion that although fate is impermanent, the bargaining chips have already been placed secretly.

Just when Jack was sighing, his secretary Natalie walked into the living room,

For this glamorous secretary, Jack is full of curiosity. As the world line is torn apart by Jack, many people and things have changed...

"Boss, you should change your clothes..." Natalie swayed and walked up to Jack and said.

"Any plans for today?" Jack asked.

Natalie opened the folder and said calmly: "There will be a fundraising auction in the city hall in the morning, and then you will accept the award from the New York Charity Federation. In the evening, you will go to Mr. Raymond's invitation."

Jack nodded. The Broadway incident just happened, and all the work in New York revolved around this incident. This should have been intended, but Raymond... surprised Jack a little.

In a hurry, after coping with the complicated work, Jack changed into casual clothes and came to Hayoke Bar,
This is an old bar in Queens, with old-fashioned decoration, a bar counter and a few wine tables... It is a bit out of place with the bustling New York, but it is a favorite place for old-school people...

When Jack arrived, Raymond had been waiting for a long time. The calm old man was a bit haggard.
"You came……"

Jack nodded slightly, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Raymond,

"what happened?"

Jack asked with concern. This kind of concern was not a feign. Although he didn't have much contact with Raymond, Jack respected this wise old man very much.

Raymond waved Jack to sit down,
"Have you noticed the fragility of life, people who were fine the day before will be separated from each other in a blink of an eye..."

Hearing Raymond's emotion, Jack heaved a sigh of relief. He had investigated the old man and learned about his family's misfortune.

"Let's let the past go, people always look forward!" Jack comforted.

Raymond smiled softly, "Christine's condition deteriorated, and I sent her to New York... The doctor said that she has fallen into a deep sleep, and unless a miracle happens, she will never wake up."

Jack guessed that Christine should be Raymond's granddaughter who became a vegetative state due to a car accident.
"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Raymond glanced at Jack, and laughed at himself: "No matter how great power is, it's nothing but illusion in the world, and all beings are equal before fate..."

Jack couldn't help frowning. Raymond seemed to have read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, but he wasn't in a good state.

Raymond ignored the silent Jack, he just needed an audience now, so he continued to say to himself: "The doctor told me to talk to Christine more, and try to awaken the consciousness in her mind... This is just Self-deception, who can send words into Christine's mind..."

wake?mind?
Jack suddenly thought of someone...

It's just that before he had time to think deeply, he heard someone at the bar asking for a drink, the voice was very familiar,
Jack looked back,

Ross?

Why is he here...

At this time, Ross lost the demeanor of General Thunderbolt. He was wearing an old military uniform with a cigar in his mouth, looking decadent...

Although both the White House and the Pentagon withheld Ross's name in the report, there is certainly no way to exempt him from internal processing, and Ross's future in the military will be ruined.

Jack wasn't surprised by Rose's decadence, but he was surprised that he would meet Rose here. Seeing that Raymond was already drunk talking to himself, Jack got up and went to the bar,

"General Ross..."

The disheveled Rose looked up, then sneered,
"Mr Murdoch, would you like a drink?"

Jack frowned and pulled out the stool, sat on it, and asked in a deep voice, "Your disciplinary report has come out?"

Ross laughed at himself, then poured down the spirits in his glass, "I am automatically resigned and retired from active service, so I am no longer a general!"

Before the Broadway incident, Ross and Hawk were the rising twin stars of the military. Although both of them were over 40 years old, they were still middle-aged and young among the gray-haired senior leaders in the military.

If nothing else happens, they will eventually sit on the positions of chiefs of staff of the five major headquarters and become military giants!
But now, Rose is forced to withdraw from active duty, which also means that his hard work in the first half of his life has been torched, so it's no wonder he wants to get drunk here...

Just when Rose was about to refill his drink, Jack suddenly snatched his glass away.

"Mr. Ross, since the military has lost your foothold, have you ever thought about coming to politics?"

According to the original plot, Ross will turn into politics after the Broadway incident... During the heroic civil war, Ross was already the new Secretary of State and handed over the Sokovia Agreement to the Avengers.

That's why Jack stepped forward,
Shun Shui favors, why not do it?
But for Rose who was already drunk, Jack's suggestion didn't make any splashes, and he quickly passed out on the bar counter...

Jack smiled bitterly and looked at the drunken Raymond and Rose. The two outstanding talents in the government and the army were teased by fate and fell into a trough in life!

However, talents are talents after all, and a temporary blow cannot knock them down.
Jack believes that when the sun rises tomorrow, they will still bravely fight against fate...

　Being arranged to study, while others are entertaining, painful code words...

　　uncomfortable.

　　Come to some recommendations to comfort the wounded soul, okay?
