I, the motherland, do whatever I want

At the helicopter landing platform, Edgar looked at the picture of Maeve being suppressed by the 'Black Lord' armor on the car screen in front and sighed.

He picked up his cell phone and used the dedicated channel within the Seven to contact people from his homeland.

Originally, he hoped that Maeve and Starlight would cooperate and successfully rescue Arnold, so that the deal with the Ministry of Defense could be completed.

But unexpectedly, after taking Arnold out of the Empire State Building, Maeve was suppressed by a new armor and seemed to have no chance of winning.

This forced Edgar to contact people from his homeland.

The howling wind sounded from the phone, and Edgar then heard the voice of the motherland: "If you have anything to say, tell me, I'm watching a show, oh, Maeve seems to be losing."

The muscles on the black president's face twitched slightly.

Damn it!

This arrogant bastard didn’t leave after all!

He is still watching the fun!

Edgar took a deep breath to calm down his inner irritability, and then said: "Manhattan is in trouble now, and it's time to show off our advantages and image."

"If you can solve this trouble, I believe our company's shares will rise significantly."

"I'm willing to give you 10% of my shares, what do you think?"

On the phone, Edgar heard the laughter of the people from his motherland: "If I want the shares of Watt Company, why don't I kill you and take all the shares away. Wouldn't I make more money that way?"

Edgar felt a chill go down his back, but he still laughed calmly: "With all due respect, I should be more experienced than you in running a company."

He expected to hear a sneer or ridicule, but unexpectedly, the motherland man said after two seconds of silence: "That makes sense."

But this makes Edgar even more nervous, because the people of the motherland are not as crazy as he looks.

The black president tentatively said, "Then you agree?"

However, the people of the motherland said: "Why should I agree? You want me to obey orders with 10% of Vought's shares."

"Edgar, I'm not that cheap."

This bastard!

Edgar wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "20%?"

"not enough."

"In other words, you are not qualified to participate in such a big event tonight."

After dropping these words, the communication was interrupted.

Edgar's expression was dull. He had been in business for many years and had worked his way up to the point where he had turned Watt Company into the most profitable company in the world.

But today, I was told that I was ‘not qualified’?

"This damn thing"

Edgar pinched his phone, and at this moment, his phone rang.

The Secretary of Defense called.

Near the Empire State Building.

Two red beams swept across the ground, hitting Maeve and pushing her out.

Maeve was covered in scars at the moment, and the gladiator-like suit on her body was severely damaged.

She has never been so embarrassed since she became a superhero.

She spit out a mouthful of blood, wiped her mouth, and was about to rush forward again.

But he saw Mr. Z wearing the 'Black King' armor floating in the air.

"I'm tired of playing."

"Besides, your actions should be authorized by the federal government, right?"

"Those dirty guys also want to get their hands on 'No. Zero', but there is no way!"

Mr. Z loudly said: "Since the federation ignored my warning, tonight, Manhattan will become history!"

As he spoke, far away in Times Square, a 'Raptor' armor came to the 'Earthshaker' launch pad, inputting commands and transmitting signals.

A moment later, Maeve felt the ground begin to shake.

‘Earthshaker’ is activated again!

The earthquake started again.

On Manhattan Island, people felt their bodies shaking, and windows of nearby high-rise buildings continued to burst and shatter, with pieces crashing down.

On the street, the pavement cracked and cracked, and dust spewed out from inside. At the same time, pipes burst, causing water jets to spray into the air.

The ground gradually began to shake, and Manhattan Island was like a small boat on the angry sea, involuntarily swaying with the shaking of the ground.

Boom.

Finally, in Times Square, a shopping mall building spewed thick smoke, flickered with electric fires, and was cut off at the waist. Half of the building fell heavily to the ground and was shattered into ruins weighing tens of thousands of tons.

In the ports or private docks around the island, there are ships trying to escape from the island, but they are constantly attacked by 'deep-sea fishmen'.

From the sky, you can see many boats on fire and sinking on the vast river. Many drowning people wearing lifebuoys are screaming and crying in panic in the undulating river water.

Thick smoke began to rise from Manhattan, and the island seemed to be facing the end of the world.

Cries and cries for help were heard everywhere.

Azu looked at this scene indifferently.

Even yawned.

"Why so slow?"

Azu believed that after he rejected Edgar's request, a bigger fish would take the bait.

Judging from the current situation, there is absolutely nothing we can do with those armors without releasing weapons of mass destruction.

But it is impossible for the Federation to do such a thing on its own soil.

So they only have one choice.

That is yourself.

People of the motherland!

Just when Azu saw the Arc de Triomphe collapsing and raising dust and smoke, his communicator rang again.

"Hello, fellow countrymen."

"I'm Wilson, Wilson Brown."

Azu shouted: "Good evening, Mr. Minister."

Of course he knew who Wilson was.

Originally, he thought what he was waiting for would be a call from the Department of Homeland Security.

Unexpectedly, it was their leader who contacted him.

Secretary of Defense Wilson Brown!

"Long story short."

"I believe you already know the current situation in Manhattan."

"Mr. Z has activated the Earthshaker. I admit that we have no way to deal with this crisis."

"And Mr. Edgar told me he had no authority to command you."

"So I thought, are you able to fight for the Union? Fight for justice?"

"Are you able to solve this crisis yourself?"

Old fox!

One and two!

The Federation and justice have nothing to do with my Azu.

Azu smiled and said: "Of course I am willing, but unfortunately, I am just a commoner flying around in a cloak."

"I don't think I deserve the honor of fighting for the Union."

There was silence in the communicator for several seconds.

Then the Minister of Defense laughed and said: "Does the position of Minister of Superhuman Supervision in the Management and Administration Department under the Federal Ministry of Defense and the rank of Colonel in the Federal Army make you famous?"

Azu raised the corner of his mouth and said: "It sounds good. If you add the shares promised by Mr. Edgar just now, I think there will be enough motivation to do this."

The Minister of Defense said ‘yes’: “I can agree to your request on behalf of Mr. Edgar.”

"Yeah?"

"The minister will definitely think that 20% of the shares is still a little less. I think 30% is almost enough. What do you think?" Azu said with a charming smile.
