Rise of an Empire

If a person is determined to commit suicide, it is basically difficult to watch, so when Conrad learned that Raven had used a hunger strike to protest in an almost ridiculous way, he knew that this girl had no determination to commit suicide at all.

The current Mystique has not experienced the hard life of wandering around and being hunted by the whole world. She has been living and enjoying herself with Charles for these years. You must know that the bald man is also a super rich man. Raven has lived a good life these years. That's why the clothes and food are so luxurious.

So even if she suffered a lot of setbacks for a while, it would be absolutely impossible for her to just give up her life and commit suicide.

She simply hasn't adjusted her mentality yet and doesn't know how to face Conrad.

After all, from her point of view, Conrad killed her childhood sweetheart and put herself under house arrest. She could definitely be regarded as a life-and-death enemy, and she should fight him desperately.

But if she really had to fight hard, she wouldn't dare

Mystique didn't know that she would be of great use in Conrad's plan. From what she and Tina knew, the young man in front of her was a ruthless character and could definitely be called a model of the Smiling Tiger.

So under Conrad's forced offensive, Raven could only cry and nodded, aggrievedly saying that she knew she was wrong.

It's totally unreasonable. I'm obviously the one being bullied. How come it's my fault?

Seeing Conrad's leaving figure, Mystique couldn't help but hug her head and cry in the room.

This day is really unbearable

It was rare for the Duke to pay attention to Raven's little murmurs behind his back. Anyway, as long as the other party didn't cause trouble for him for the time being, it would be fine.

As for what happens next

Take your time, he has plenty of time anyway, so he can just force it a few more times.

Anyway, life is like that, you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

I guess Mystique will gradually understand this truth.

The next time was a bit boring. I went to and from school regularly every day, listening to Norman show off his true love. Looking at the devout look on his face, I guess he was not far away from falling into a trap.

Fortunately, Black Widow probably wanted to take a long-term view to catch the big fish, so she did not do anything detrimental to Norman for the time being. Instead, the boy changed from his previous decadent and lustful character and actually worked harder than ever before.

It is said that the eldest young man who never cared about his career before actually used his free time to help manage the Osborne Group, which almost gave old Osborne a heart attack from excitement.

Although Black Widow did this to obtain more information from Norman, in any case, it is indeed a great achievement to change the appearance of the second generation ancestor.

As for how much confidential information the other party got out of Norman's mouth?

Conrad said it's none of my business.

Although the Soviets are not good people, there are not many good people in the United States.

Anyway, given Norman's identity, even if it is found that the information was leaked from his mouth in the end, it will definitely be reduced to a major matter and nothing important.

The United States and the Soviet Union are still continuing their arms race and recruiting mutants, but their policies are slightly different.

For the Soviet, all power must be in the hands of the great General Secretary, so if any mutants discovered are unwilling to join the newly established rapid reaction force, then they can wait to be studied in Lubyanka.

Compared with the radicalism of the Soviets, the United States is much more deceitful.

As we all know, the biggest difficulty in so-called democracies is that they like to argue. We will oppose whatever the opposition supports, and we will support whatever the opposition opposes. Up to now, the House of Representatives and the Senate are still deciding whether to grant funds to mutants. Setting up legitimate rights and interests is nonsense.

Conrad felt that with the bullshit spirit of those politicians, the Soviet Union's rapid reaction force could probably hold a tenth anniversary celebration. It would be highly efficient if the outline could be given here.

There is no way, this is the characteristic of a democratic country. Normally nothing happens, but if there is an emergency, you must take a break.

During World War II, the United States just took advantage of its geographical advantage. Otherwise, due to the bickering energy of the two houses, it is estimated that the imperial army would have to at least hit hsd before they could join forces.

However, this kind of thing is still too far away from Conrad. Although he can now be regarded as a top rich man, he is still a little far away from those who can control American politics. He does not even have a senator on hand. It is really Not qualified to get involved in this kind of thing

Therefore, it is not enough to just have money these days. You must at least play politics and business to have the capital to be proud of the world.

Conrad really wants to support a few agents of his own, but it's a pity that so far he can't even find a reliable commercial agent, let alone a political agent.

Although there are many pretentious guys coming to recommend themselves these days, after his inquiry and the White Queen's mind reading, he found that those guys are basically idlers, or they have high ambitions and low abilities. If you let them act as agents, you will probably lose money. Conrad vomits blood

Only then did the Duke understand why that boy Alexander gave the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Black Braised Egg, because instead of handing over the great resources to those idiots and wasting them, it would be better to hand it over to a capable guy. Develop and grow.

"Your Majesty the Duke" Just when Conrad was worried about where to go to find suitable talents, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

I saw Fred King Hyatt trotting towards him.

"My Lord Duke, what a coincidence that I can meet you here." Fred said with an apologetic smile on his face.

What a coincidence, your sister

Conrad looked at the quiet streets on both sides with some speechlessness. As the top private high school in Manhattan, Boulevard Middle School naturally has to build a quiet and peaceful environment. Basically, except for students, there will be no other people on this road. Entered.

"Mr. Fred, have you collected enough money?" Conrad really didn't have a good face towards this guy who was almost as shameless as himself.

This guy ran to his house every two days, so that he had to ask Thrawn to blacklist him. But he didn't expect that this guy was so thick-skinned. He couldn't get in from the manor, so he came to the school. Block yourself

If not for maintaining his image as a good, law-abiding citizen, Conrad would have killed this guy.

To prevent this guy from wandering around his ears like a fly every day.

"Not yet, but if you, Duke, are willing to sell part of the property to me first, I can help you dispose of the remaining part immediately after I earn working capital." Fred has been rejected by Conrad countless times these days. He had long since developed the ability to tolerate humiliation. Even if Conrad spit on him in front of him, he would probably just smile and apply it as skin care product.
