208 Charitable Activities
"Are there going to be wars again?"
In the slightly dim room, Storm and Phoenix were lying lazily on both sides of Ross's body in silk pajamas. Ororo lay on his side in front of Rossxiong, staring at the news program on the screen and asked casually.
On TV, Mystique pretending to be Senator Kelly is advocating war on Capitol Hill. She describes Wakanda as a horrible country like hell on earth through the appeal letter sent by the Duke. Under the rule of the brutal royal family, countless people are burning The struggling African people urgently need American soldiers to help them.
Although this statement is extremely absurd and cannot stand the test at all, the problem is that the country of Wakanda is too remote, so remote that the vast majority of local Africans do not know its existence, people do not understand the internal situation of the country at all, and what Mystique said It cleverly caters to the psychology of ordinary Americans. It undoubtedly satisfies the overwhelming sense of justice in most people's hearts. By the way, it also reveals some unique and expensive local products, especially the main material that constitutes Captain America's shield. Vibranium, which is hundreds of times more expensive than gold, this miraculous ore has attracted the attention of countless people.
After the deliberate exaggeration by Mystique and others, social fishing boats are almost one-sided in favor of force sanctions. Compared with the previous covert military operations, the preparation of this war plan is much smoother. Not only the major financial groups generally expressed their support, but also some young people People even offered to join the army and fight for freedom and peace for all mankind.
The reason for this situation is that in addition to the good excuses, Vibranium also played a role of huge amounts of seduction. It is really no wonder that people are philistine. At the current market price, an ounce of 14 ounces of gold is about 1,200 US dollars , and the price of one gram of Vibranium is at least 10,000 U.S. dollars, the gap is as high as 235 times, and often there is no market for the price, no wonder many organizations and individuals are tempted.
Ross didn't answer right away, he adjusted his posture and rested his head in Qin's arms before answering Ororo's question.
"It is still in the preparation stage. In addition to fishing boats to build momentum, it also needs to go through material transportation, military mobilization, and diplomatic mediation... Although the president has made a decision, it will take at least one to two months before the official action. "
While they were talking, the head of Prince Wakanda appeared on the TV. This prince once studied in Europe and is one of the very few members of the royal family known to the outside world in this secret country.
"What do you think of him?" Ross pointed to the screen.
"Prince T'Challa, Cambridge has a good doctorate in physics." Ororo replied casually.
Seeing her indifferent look, Ross smiled slightly and didn't mention anything about T'Challa again.
In another timeline, it is said that T'Challa and Ororo met in Cairo in the early years, and later they became a couple, and then turned against each other because of a certain conflict, and then broke up.
However, in this world, due to the appearance of Ross, many things have changed. Storm and the future Black Panther have completely become strangers, and they will probably not have any contact in the future.
"Today the S.T.A.R. Foundation has a charity event, and Mary Jane is with me, are you coming?" Ross asked, turning off the TV.
"Auroro accompanied me home today, we made an appointment a week ago, you go on your own." Before Storm could answer, Qin lightly touched Mo Ross's cheek on the other side
Qin's elder sister has passed away, and her parents moved to the west to settle down. Before that, she had no chance to contact her family in college, and she only re-established contact some time ago. Now that the family is reunited, Ross definitely will not stop her.
Soon after, he came to a slum one street away from the Bronx subway station, and joined Mary Jane and others who had just arrived here.
In addition to Ross, Mary Jane and more than a dozen volunteers, there are also seven or eight official members of the foundation, four of whom are experienced professionals in the industry, and the rest are relatives and friends related to Ross, including the widowed Peter Aunt Mei, Gwen’s mother Helen and others, their work is very simple, they visit each house according to the list of people in need of help they learned in advance, then compile the materials to make a report, and start supporting after the financial review.
This kind of occasion definitely cannot do without the participation of journalists. Through his relationship with Ross, Peter was the first to be notified. He arrived early in the morning with his assistant Andy, snapping|taking photos from various angles, and definitely not without the opportunity to interview afterwards. It is not the first time that they have cooperated. Through these reports that are beneficial to both parties, Ross has become famous and gained an extremely good reputation, and created a fishing environment that is beneficial to him. Peter has also been promoted in just over a year. With a salary increase, he became the chief reporter of the Bugle Daily.
In the past, the location of the event was mostly determined by the Foundation. This time, it was Ross himself who wanted to come to the Bronx subway station. The last time he competed with Loki here, many buildings were damaged during the fight. So far, some residents who are living in difficulties are still without help. Homeless, they could only pitch tents in the middle of the messy ruins and barely survived on the water and food sent by the government and well-wishers. As one of the makers of the disaster, Ross naturally has reason to solve some life problems for them.
Although he knew in advance that these unlucky guys had a difficult life, but after entering, Ross knew how difficult these victims were.
In this harsh and chaotic neighborhood, there are still more than 60 people living in this urban pit 30 feet lower than the surrounding ground. Compared with the bustling city separated by a wall, their place is like two worlds. Men, women and children live among the collapsed concrete slabs and wood fragments. On both sides of the road, there are furniture, doors and windows smashed by the ceiling and mounds of bricks and stones. The damp air is filled with a smell of corruption and dilapidation.
More than two months have passed since the incident, the attention of the media and the public has already shifted, and the donations from the outside world have decreased a lot compared to the beginning. Those who can leave have already moved with their families, and the rest are all low-level residents who cannot afford the minimum rent.
Visiting each family from the outside to the inside, their conditions are all caused by some reason to be extremely poor, which just confirms the first sentence of the first part of Anna Karenina: happy people have the same happiness, but unhappy people are not happy. have their own misfortunes. Maybe these families can still maintain a balance of income and expenditure at the beginning, but when an accident breaks the inherent living conditions, the original peace immediately falls into a predicament and cannot extricate themselves.
Fortunately, Ross is here today to do good deeds. Compared with those unconnected strangers far away in Africa, he would rather spend the money on local people who also need assistance. .
Patiently listening to complaints along the way, recording the urgently needed supplies and assistance, Ross spent the whole morning here, and the activity did not come to an end until it was close to noon.
"Ross, this is the last family, Flin Te and his wife and their daughter Penny." Gwen's mother, Helen, lifted up the documents and said.
She was originally a housewife, and she took care of the housework for her busy husband and three children all year round. However, as her husband was promoted all the way, the children grew up one after another, and Mrs. Helen gradually felt that her life was boring, so the foundation founded by her daughter's boyfriend was established. It has become her best place to go. After several months of familiarization, she is doing a pretty good job now.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go take a look." Ross looked at the photos on the information, the family of three looked familiar, when he fought Loki, this family happened to appear nearby, and they were almost attacked. spread. Judging from the data, they are also the family that lost the most, and what's interesting is that the man, Flin Te Marco, matches the appearance of a certain super criminal in Ross's memory.
Not only Ross is familiar with this person, Peter is also no stranger to Flin Te, the chief reporter of the Daily Bugle has a very bad face, Peter recognizes that this is the person who killed his Uncle Parker in 783, although the police found out afterwards It was just an accident caused by a misfire of the pistol. Flin Te was released from prison after a year of imprisonment due to minor crimes, but as a nephew, Peter could never forgive this person's crimes.
Fortunately, the kind-hearted Aunt Mei comforted him in time, and a group of people went to Flin Te's tent with various thoughts. On the edge of the ruins, Flin Te's wife Teresa was taking her sick daughter Petunia with a face full of tears. Standing there expectantly.
.......I live by doing odd jobs in a nearby store. My husband has no serious job. He is often summoned by the police and spends months in jail. I also live in a real big prison , the only daughter is seriously ill, she needs treatment every week, but now we don't even have a house, I really don't know how to live...."
Teresa hugged her young daughter and wiped her tears to complain. Mary Jane, Helen and others were also moved by her difficult life and donated money to help.
Through her words, Ross gradually sketched out the life of Flin Te in his mind. A simple-minded thief with strong limbs. He once joined a gang and had many disgraceful deeds. But he knew how to take care of his family, but was unable to break free from the predicament. male.
A year ago, Ross might have been interested in such a guy, but now he decided to give him a hand and save this family from despair.
Amid Teresa's constant thanks, Ross left a check. He chose the best hospital in New York for Penny, and at the same time provided the little girl's mother with a job to support her family.
If Lin Te wakes up in time, he can turn his life around and live a normal life.
After the activity ended, Ross and the others left separately. When the car was driving, he glanced casually into the distance. A strong man in a blue horizontal stripe T-shirt quietly shrank by the wall at some point, sticking his head out towards the car. look in the direction. .
