When Karl saw it, it had already climbed to the top of the branches. Its slender body was wrapped around the branches and flowering branches, and its head was suspended in the air.

"Good morning, snake." Carl greeted it lazily.

Judging from the characteristics, this snake seems to be highly venomous, and the specific species is unknown.

Ordinary people should take pictures at this time to find out what kind of snake it is and how poisonous it is, but Carl doesn’t need to do anything extra, he is completely immune to poison, even if this snake is so poisonous that it can kill He, and its teeth could not pierce his skin.

The snake was thus an ordinary critter in the wrong place, like the birds that occasionally stopped in his garden, the stray field mice, the butterflies and dragonflies that now and then broke into the house.

——The protection measures of the Al Mansion are very strict, but Alexander only intercepts humans, not animals.

After saying hello, Carl stepped on slippers and went downstairs in his nightgown. The snake left when he walked down the stairs, but the flower was still in good condition. Although it fell to the ground, the fragile petals showed no signs of damage. .

Carl bent down to pick up the flowers, put them in his breast pocket, and went into the kitchen to make a simple breakfast for himself.

Toast two slices of bread with cheese, fry a slice of bacon, and squeeze a glass of mixed juice. He did it leisurely. When the food was about to be served on the table, James called.

"Let me guess what you want to say." Carl's voice was completely relaxed and comfortable in the morning sun, "Is it related to "Captain America" ​​or "Agent Carter"? Don't make a sound, let me guess Come on, Agent Carter, right?"

"You may not like what I'm going to say next, Mr. Al. Fortunately, it's not my duty to make you happy. My duty is to ensure the company's profitability and arrange and coordinate the work process of the entire company. If necessary, I have to Help me take some shots..."

"Wrong, dear James. It is not only your duty, but the duty of the entire D&M company, to make me happy." Carl interrupted the other party unhurriedly, "If other employees in the company or my attitude Gives you certain illusions, and believe me, dear James, you'd better forget about them."

"What happened to make you suddenly become a dictator from a sweetheart?"

James' surprise could be heard clearly even tens of kilometers away from Karl.

"Some good things and some bad things." Carl didn't want to talk too much. "So, Agent Carter?"

"I know Ms. Carter has passed away, and I'm so sorry and saddened by that, and that we'd better get ready for the film's release right away."

"Sounds like downright cold-blooded capitalists, taking advantage of the news as soon as a war hero dies or something."

"Come on boss," James scoffed at Carl's teasing, "this is Hollywood - if our beautiful and handsome female lead follows Ms. Carter's footsteps to heaven, I can get this commercial to take home the top award trophy."

Carl's mind came up with Luo's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"They can't go to heaven, and from what I've seen, hell doesn't necessarily welcome them."

"Then the movie..."

"Okay, you can start getting into publicity, I don't like your tone and approach and your rushing attitude, but you are right, this is the best time for release. Fortunately, Paige is bedridden We had already fixed the filming time before, otherwise it would be like we killed Paige for the box office. I have never doubted the paranoia of the American people."

James rarely comforted his boss: "Don't pay attention to the media, Carl, they are a group of guys who can pick thorns no matter what you do. Anyway, no matter what you do, they will be scolded by them. It's better to earn him a lot of money." Pen."

"You reminded me that since I am not short of money and I am not willing to be scolded for nothing, all the proceeds from this movie should be used as charitable donations. I remember that there is a World War II veterans pension fund under Peggy's name? Donate the money to They, you can contact Alexander for specific operations."

"Not Rao? Rao has always been dealing with these things."

James is very afraid of Alexander. Of all the people Karl knows, he is the one who is most afraid of Alexander. It may be that Alexander left a deep impression on him when they met for the first time. James usually avoids talking to Alexander if he can.

However, he did find it strange that most of D&M's affairs were trivial, and Alexander had long since left it to Rao to deal with.

Carl didn't answer James right away.

The car carrying Lex pulled into the downstairs of the Lex Group, and Rao held the steering wheel with both hands until his fingers turned blue.

His palms were full of sweat, and the steering wheel was made of a special material, probably in consideration of the possibility of the driver sweating. Most of the sweat in his palms was absorbed, leaving only some traces of sweat sticking to his fingers Between the fingers.

Making the choice to leave the Ayre Group was more painful and difficult than he expected-even though he shouldn't have felt so painful and difficult.

Long before he really stepped into the society, Rao had already thought about what his lifelong career would be. In order to achieve great goals, worldly wealth and power were necessary, or to put it bluntly, to achieve his goals. Goals, those wealth and power are the most important, even far more important than strength.

The road of freedom and equality has been walked by so many people before the mutant group, and the reliance of those ancestors has never been tyrannical individual power.

First obey the rules of this world, then use the rules, and finally change the rules. In Rao's plan, he must first achieve certain achievements in the Ayre Group, climb to a certain height, and then transform into a political force. It will become a new challenge, and he has not considered such a long-term for the time being.

But Karl's other identity made his plan fail.

Superman doesn't get involved in politics, Carl.Although Al will not deliberately avoid the responsibilities that a president of a large company needs to perform, he will not drill up or use his own power to do something.

The political power of the Ayre Group is almost a vacuum. The more he understands the Ayre Group, the more Rao discovers that this behemoth does not control any members of parliament behind the scenes, does not designate any decisions, and can retreat from most matters related to politics. Retreat, and it will brazenly meet it when there is no way to retreat, but all actions are based on self-protection.

Such a policy would have been very problematic, but Alexander was not stupid.

The chain of interests he constructed in just a few years—the net that spreads across the entire earth, and perhaps runs through the entire universe—everyone who has a little knowledge of it must deal with it. Be cautious with matters related to the Ayre Group.

Rao didn't know if Karl would break his principles to help him, but that wasn't what he wanted to happen.

The path of mutants must be made by mutants themselves. Superman can save them from the laboratory and pull them back from the border of death, but he is a protection cable on the mountain climbing road, not a quick cable car.

One day we'll build our own cable car, Rao thought, bracing himself, and trying to face Lex.Luther, agree to his invitation.

But he failed.How strange.

When he realized that the Ayer Group did not match his imagination, he knew that he would leave here one day. In order to make the good times before leaving not so long, he studied hard, worked hard, and did what he could. the best.

The words that were about to be spoken were so heavy that it was difficult for him to breathe, Rao tried his best not to twist his fingers, he knew that Lex could see the movements of his hands, and he didn't want to give the other party a chance to see through him.

But Lex had already seen through him.

The young president is bathed in sunlight. From his perspective, he can see the headquarters of the Daily Planet not far away just by raising his eyes. The star decoration surrounded by a light band on the top of the building reflects the dazzling white spots, making his eyes Eyes sting.

Will Superman's eyes hurt by the sun's rays?Lex thought, and then he gave the answer himself.

"It's time to say goodbye, Rao." He said meaningfully, and opened the car door before Rao could react.

The sun poured down the sea, filling his side, Rao said goodbye to him behind his back, Lex didn't turn his head, and didn't answer.

In the dining room, Carl put the prepared lunch on the table, raised his hand and adjusted the direction of the flowers he put in his breast pocket.

"Rao won't deal with it in the future, James. I know you don't like to get along with Alexander. I will arrange another person to contact you. She is a girl, young, but very smart. You will like her."

"...Okay, anyway, no one can put more pressure on people than your brother..." James muttered, "Then we're done, I'll immediately arrange the pre-promotion of "Agent Carter" and speed up its release."

""Captain America" ​​is also promoted and released together." Carl added.

Peggy is not only a World War II hero, but also a symbol of an era.

It's ridiculous to say that, as a warrior who killed countless people, she was actually portrayed as a spokesperson for peace.

Her death caused a social shock in the United States. I am afraid that this is something that the upper echelons of the United States did not expect.

It stands to reason that shocks are shocks. People are already dead. Regardless of whether this small fluctuation will subside sooner or later, Iron Man has repeatedly appeared in Afghanistan recently, and recently went to the Middle East where wars are frequent. Under the relevant reports, the doubts of the people in the US imperialism are raging, and it is a sensitive period approaching the election, and the top leaders of the US imperialism are in chaos.

Carl can only lament that Tony is indeed a troublemaker, but his troublemaking can be regarded as reminding the military department of the US team who were written as "forgotten" and read as "exiled".

A hero died?

It's okay, we have another one.

War, Karl thought sarcastically, never-ending war.

The author has something to say:

There are quite a few little angels who have doubts about Rao's character, and there are quite a few people who mentioned it. Let me focus on a few to explain.

First of all, Rao decided to improve the status of mutants, which can be said to be a clear concept from the moment he appeared on the stage.Then let’s talk about his later experience, whether he went to the fraternity, later went to Xavier, left Xavier, went to college, got in touch with the society and chose the Ayer Group, all he fought for this goal process.

Superman didn't give any help during this process. When he appeared, it was also as a belief, a person who supported him.

Until Karl took the initiative to explode the horse, Rao did not use Superman to do anything, and after Karl took the initiative to explode the horse, he did not make any demands.

He appreciates and adores Superman, but his mind is clear.He is an independent person, not an appendage of Superman, and has no intention of abandoning his ideals for idols, and this independence and belief are the real reasons why Karl treats him differently.Carl was also very happy to take the initiative to explode the horse.

Note that Rao didn't know about the relationship between Karl and Superman before Karl took the initiative to explode the horse. He just quickly grasped the olive branch thrown to him by the big company.

Karl regards Rao as a friend, but a friend who can't get too close, just like Magneto.

I mentioned in the last chapter that he is a political creature. This description is not derogatory, nor does it mean that he seeks profit. Rao has no bad intentions.

And you forgot one point, although Rao knows that Lai always wants to kill Superman, but Lai is always Carl's boyfriend, the two are very close, Rao will not say "Lai will really kill Superman" of this concept.
