[Comprehensive] The victory of the second dealer

The next day, Washington.

Now almost everyone knows the SuperBritish company, just like everyone can say that Tony Stark is Iron Man. Everyone remembers the company name that keeps appearing behind the SuperBritish promotional videos.

And Lydia, as the boss of Chaoying Company and Tony's girlfriend, is very well recognized by the public, and has maintained good relations with many newspapers and media, so there are many media that came to the trial this time.

When Lydia and Tony arrived, the spotlights were blinding.

Lydia smiled at the reporters, she didn't seem to care much about the interrogation this time.

The senators were already sitting at the top, watching them walk in, Tony was sitting in the first row of the auditorium, just behind Lydia, beside him were high-level political and military officials, and Lydia's Secretary Mary sat a row further back.

After talking nonsense, the senator got to the point: "Ms. Morrison, as we all know, your company is attached to the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Agency, referred to as S.H.I.E.L.D. Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. What plan."

"Attachment? I thought it was cooperation." Lydia looked very relaxed in her sitting position, slightly tapped her cheek with the index finger of her left hand, looked at the senator above with the corner of her mouth tilted up, and said into the microphone, "I thought everyone We all know that the Stark Group and the Wayne Group are the major shareholders of SuperBritish, when did it become S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Her attitude was calm and unhurried, completely ignoring the senators in the row above, which caused many people to look at Tony behind her. The attitudes of the two of them sitting here talking were almost the same.

"If you look at the amount of investment, S.H.I.E.L.D. may not be as good as the Brown Group. Where did you infer that my company is attached to S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Lydia paused and said sarcastically, "See MP?"

The senators at the top realized that Lydia was difficult to deal with. SHIELD had already reported the cooperation with Chaoying Company. Everyone knew how much convenience SHIELD had given Chaoying Company, but these are Small gestures of acquiescence by the bigwigs above, rather than messages announced to the public.

The senator didn't dwell on this topic, and continued to ask: "Are there some wizards of unknown origin in your team? They have extraordinary powers. I'm afraid these people won't be able to make the public feel at ease."

"They do have extraordinary powers, but they use them to save people." Lydia looked at the senator's retort with a smile, and the senator immediately answered: "They have extraordinary powers, but no one knows their true identities .”

"Are you complaining that superheroes didn't stand at the gate of the White House and shout 'I'm a hero' to everyone?" Lydia sneered twice, and everyone present was amused by her description, she continued He continued, "Thank you for your imaginative proposal, sir, and I'll suggest they do it when I get back."

Lydia was leaning against the back of the chair, and Tony was very close to her, with just a slight tilt of his upper body, he could reach her ear.

But Tony, who was sitting in the back, was obviously not a secretive character, he sat directly in his seat and sighed: "The style of interrogation here has really not changed at all, it reminds me of when I was sitting in your seat , It’s really yesterday again.”

Lydia said without looking back, "Nonsense, I'm more polite than you."

Tony didn't lower his voice, and Lydia didn't avoid the microphone. The conversation between the two people was almost heard by everyone present. Everyone couldn't help laughing again. The senator above knocked on the table again to signal everyone to be quiet. Come down, and continued: "It is obviously not a wise thing to let powerful, uncontrolled weapons circulate among ordinary people. I am afraid Miss Morrison. Wands belonging to wizards need to be regulated, just like guns. .”

"Of course, if you can use magic." Lydia nodded, shrugging indifferently, "In fact, the Magic Council has always registered magic wands. Wizards belong to the Magic Council, and ordinary people belong to the Council, which is very reasonable."

"Whether it is reasonable or not is not up to you." The senator's gaze swung to the side, and he continued to pick up Lydia's words, "Our weapons experts will evaluate the danger of wizards. "

Lydia turned her head and saw a man she didn't know walked to the side seat and sat down. He even glanced at Lydia. Lydia nodded to him very politely, but the man turned a blind eye and kept his face on the floor. sat down.

"This is obviously not a good person." Tony murmured behind him, and Lydia laughed when he said it. She reached back and touched Tony's knee, and quickly retracted her hand.

The other party connected the USB flash drive to the big screen here. On it was a short video of a wizard casting an offensive spell that he did not know where he got it. There were also many videos of cars being cast into the sky by the spell. Cai said: "As you can see, these spells are more terrifying than bullets, and some spells are more powerful than bazookas."

"It's hard for us to say how many people can insist on not hurting others when such a powerful force is in the hands of a non-government minority," the expert said blankly, and looked at Lydia, "and we didn't Enough power to restrict the opponent's actions is a very dangerous thing."

Lydia actually didn't think the wizard was as powerful as he said. She smiled and didn't interrupt the other party's speech.

"It is impossible for us to place our hope on the other party's conscience and completely trust that the other party will not harm us. We need some constraints." The expert was unmoved by Lydia's smile and said stiffly, "There is no constraint like the government. Control is better."

After he finished speaking, he shut up, and everyone applauded.

Just as the senator was about to speak, Lydia said politely, "I'm afraid I disagree."

She glanced at the senator sitting on it with a polite smile on her face. The senator choked and had a bad feeling.

During his pause, Lydia had already spoken: "After receiving the subpoena last night, I have made some arrangements for my recent work."

Tony hacked into the system in twos and twos, and put the information Mary had compiled on the big screen. Lydia stood up and faced all the audience with a smile: "I know everyone is very curious about the magic world. , in fact the history of the wizarding world is much longer than the history of the United States, yet no wizards have shown up in front of people before I worked with them-of course I can't say this is my fault, just because they don't trust us Congress."

"Trust is the basis of all cooperation, so it is difficult for the magic world and Congress to form cooperation. This is number one." Lydia nodded towards the expert, expressing that she did not intend to offend. The latter was still expressionless, and she did not think Confidently continued, "Second, I'm afraid I don't agree with their harmfulness."

She turned to the screen, where the video of the wizard repairing the house and saving people was playing: "We have participated in five operations of the Avengers, repaired more than 70 high-rise buildings and more than a hundred residential buildings, and rescued more than 1000 people from under the houses. Not to mention the first aid—Mr. Expert, a scalpel can also kill, so should we be afraid of it?”

Tony looked at Lydia, who was talking eloquently, and raised his hand to turn over the content on the screen. Lydia smiled at him, and continued: "I am a mutant with extraordinary power, but there is no one The law stipulates that people with extraordinary powers must stand up to protect the people, and it may be unfair for you to treat wizards like this."

No one spoke, and the only sound in the hall was the clicking of the camera in the reporter's hand.

In the silence, the smile on Lydia's face was very gentle, but the words she said were not gentle: "Saving people is out of morality, but it is not what we 'must do'. I am afraid that the senators present Got one thing wrong, we came out because we wanted to save people, not someone pointing fingers at us and saying 'you have to do this'."

"You know, it's not difficult to disguise yourself as an ordinary person. A year ago, no one knew that I was a mutant." Lydia said with a smile, "Ordinary people didn't know the existence of wizards half a year ago. "

"We are very willing to save people, but we don't want our right to save people to be restricted." Lydia walked back to her seat, "Ability and freedom are not contradictory."

She put the microphone on the table, glanced at the senators, nodded slightly, and walked out towards the gate.

Tony and Mary followed her.

Spotlights flickered, and reporters frantically rushed over.

The senator on the stage finally came to his senses, threw his pen on the table angrily, and cursed: "...how can you be as virtuous as Stark."
