"Duke, the steel suit technology has seriously threatened the security of the United States. We hope you can think about it from a national perspective and hand over the suit technology to the government, and the government will definitely give you a satisfactory solution. Answered."

Duke took out his lighter and lit himself a cigar.

The judge frowned and said, "Duke, are you listening to me? Smoking and cigars are prohibited in the courtroom."

Duke exhaled a puff of smoke and said leisurely: "According to the Constitution of the United States, the private property of citizens is sacred and inviolable. I applied for the patented technology of the steel suit two and a half months ago. Now it is my own property. It Where it goes is completely up to me.

I don't want to give it to you just yet.

that's it. "

"Duke, we can arrest you on charges of endangering national security. We are able to negotiate with you now because you are a public figure. Don't push yourself too far."

Duke picked up his hat, stood up and said, "If you could do this, you wouldn't have done it a long time ago."

After saying that, he put on his hat, ignored the looks of the people around him, and left the court with his group of bodyguards in suits.

The judge looked at Duke's leaving figure silently, and said to his assistant after Duke left: "Accept Hammer's application."

He looked at the door of the court and stood up, "Okay, gentlemen, we'll stop here today."

"I knew the government couldn't do anything to Duke. As the chairman of a billion-dollar company and the leader of the weapons manufacturing industry, the government might still listen to Duke..."

"This can be considered a good breaking point. Duke took a bold stand in court and said that the government had nothing to do with him."

"The government will definitely take further actions. This highly strategic weapon cannot be completely in the hands of individuals."

Duke left the court and sat in the back seat of the vehicle. After the vehicle started, he turned around and asked Martin Goodman next to him, "What do you think of today's events?"

"The government will not issue a passport to a nuclear weapon to let him go wild. Although we have promised not to allow individuals to have access to this suit, Mr. Duke, you yourself are an unknown factor, and Stark's top brass are, They could all be flying around America in battle armor, with weapons in their hands that could wipe out an entire company.

If I were the government, I would find ways to supervise this kind of weapon, not to mention mass production. Even each armor must have its own name and its own maintenance team. "

"This weapon has to be produced on a large scale, and we need to deal with something unusual," Duke said.

"You mean mutants"

"No, it's something else. Okay, don't talk about it. Martin, if you were from the government, what would you do in the face of my proposal today?"

Martin thought for a while, "I would send a team of super-powerful mutants to kill you, and then nationalize the technology. Or introduce a special bill to restrict this weapon, just like the Sherman Antitrust Act." "

“Did the Antitrust Act Work?”

"It doesn't have much effect, but it can show the government's determination. Under this kind of bill, the government has extremely high freedom of enforcement power, which will have a great impact on the group's business."

Duke said: "Martin, you have thought very well, so do you have a way to deal with it?"

"I have nothing to do in the face of assassination, but in the face of the latter we can find a way to unite many congressmen to improve the antitrust bill. This bill gives the court too much judicial freedom. Many capitalists are very dissatisfied with this bill."

Duke hummed, put the cigar in the ashtray, and slowly extinguished it, "Hammer Industries is about to claim that they have registered the steel suit technology a long time ago, and then they will file a lawsuit against us in the court. This I won’t be attending the trial, I’ll leave it to you.”

Martin thought for a while and said: "I didn't think of this method, Mr. Duke, but our Stark lawyers are also first-rate, not inferior to Hammer. You can rest assured on this."

"I just find it troublesome. I still have a lot of things to do."

"understood."

After dropping Martin off at Stark Tower, Duke transferred to the Redbud Orphanage in Manhattan.

After Duke succeeded Stark as chairman, he also inherited Stark's responsibilities for many welfare institutions. The various honorary dean and honorary president titles that Tony had been crowned earlier also fell on Duke.

Unlike Stark, who only pays money and doesn't care about anything else, Duke actually sends people into these institutions to supervise the whereabouts of donated funds.

In Duke's view, if you want to do something, you must do it well. Not everyone can accept Duke's money.

The current director of the Bauhinia Orphanage is a subordinate of Duke who has been disabled for a long time. Duke has always been responsible to the end for these subordinates who are suffering from illness and disability because of him.

Those who have lost the ability to work are supported by the company's monthly minimum wage, and those who have some ability are assigned to various logistics positions under Duke.

There may be various reasons for this, but the most important thing is for the cohesion of the forces. Only when these members have a sense of belonging to Duke can Duke's forces be knitted together.

"It's a cheap bribery method, but unexpectedly someone bought it."

"Your Excellency Duke, you are here." After Duke's vehicle was seen on the surveillance camera driving into the gate of the orphanage, the man with his left leg empty under the knee hurriedly limped out with a cane and walked into the classroom of the orphanage. Duke was waiting at the door of the building.

Duke got out of the car and patted his shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."

Duke is now considered a public figure. After becoming Iron Fist, he began to ask his subordinates in the gang to change their titles. Titles like boss cannot be used. Duke can be called Your Excellency or Sir.

Of course, if no one else is around, it doesn't matter even if you call the wrong person casually.

The man nodded with a smile and raised one hand behind Duke, "You are here to see the children, right? The children are in class now. I have hired special teachers for them, all of whom have graduated from university for several years. Those with teaching experience.”

Duke nodded and asked as he walked towards the classroom building: "I heard that you got married, but unfortunately I was too busy and didn't have time to attend your wedding."

"No, no, Your Excellency Duke, my wife and I feel very honored to receive your blessing when we get married."

"Where's your wife?"

"She is a graphic designer and works in an office building not far from here."

Duke sighed, "I envy your life, but my steps have already been taken and I can't stop."

The man was silent for a moment. He was envious of Duke a year ago. He admired Duke and wanted to be a boss like Duke. He controlled several blocks and had hundreds of subordinates who responded to everything.

But now he doesn't want to, his wife told him a few days ago that she is pregnant, and it's time for him to work hard now.

After holding it in for a long time, the man said: "Well...you should also pay attention to rest..."

Duke stopped talking. It was enough to say this. As a leader of a force, his occasional true feelings would enhance his relationship with his subordinates, but if he did too much, he would be considered weak.

In terms of acting, you must have good control.

Soon the two people came to the classroom, and Duke asked: "How is that little girl named Gwen?"

"Losing her father, being abandoned by her mother, and none of her relatives were willing to accept her. This was a huge blow to a teenage child. She has been taciturn, very quiet, and has little contact with other children.

Moreover, she is now somewhat closed to the outside world, and both teachers and caregivers tend to ignore this child.

Whether during activities or when eating and studying, this little girl is always alone. She avoids two little boys who try to make friends with her. She seems to be extremely insecure now.

Your Excellency Duke, do you need me to tell the people in the courtyard and let them pay attention to this little girl?"

Duke shook his head, stared at these children from the corridor window, and said in a deep voice: "No, no need, this child has a strong heart, she can come out on her own, just let nature take its course, but you have to do it every month Report back to me on her condition.”

Although the director of Bauhinia didn't know why Duke valued this little girl, he still assured: "Please don't worry."

Duke looked at the word gratitude written on the blackboard and his portrait hanging on the blackboard, then looked at the students for a while, and then left the orphanage.
