Superman of the American Comics - Chapter 206

[Chapter 194?]

“This is… Mr. John Stillman?”

Howard, who has been in and out of the Pentagon all the year round and occasionally attended the White House banquet, recognized the man in the photo at a glance.

The other party is the right-hand man next to the president, John Stillman, who is serving as the White House chief of staff.

The seat he sits in, known as “Second President” and “White House Gatekeeper”, can be said to be one of the politicians closest to the center of power in Washington DC.

“Who’s the other guy? It’s a man—is there something wrong with Stillman’s sexuality? That’s big news!”

Howard has always had the gift of getting everything down to his lower body.

“But in politics, it shouldn’t be much. As far as I know, the FBI’s Hoover, he’s also bisexual.”

“Luke, you know, those high-powered bigwigs, they call themselves For high-class people, they are actually very dirty.”

“Please don’t take yourself out when you use mean language to ridicule them.”

Glancing at Howard, who was gradually deviating from the topic, Luke got up and walked to the wine cabinet. , took out a high-end whisky from Stark’s mansion.

“As the boss of Stark Industries, an arms tycoon with a deep background… Howard, don’t forget, you are also a part of the upper class full of dirty people.”

“And, to a certain extent, you are still the backbone. Power!”

Dangdang!

The ice cubes hit the wall of the glass, making a crisp sound.

The amber liquid was injected, rippling out a circle of ripples.

“Would you like a drink?”

Luke asked, turning his head.

“Treat me with my collection, you really know how to do business! No wonder the budget committee gets a headache when they see you!”

Howard was not forgiving, but his body was honest, and reached out to take the glass of whisky.

“By the way, why did you notice Stillman?”

Iron Man’s father was a little puzzled. In his impression, Superman would not be interested in politics, especially for politicians who play tricks.

Otherwise, there is no need for the president to reject it so quickly when he showed his intention to solicit.

Luke took a sip of the cold liquid, his eyes flashed, and he said softly, “According to the six-dimensional space theory, the distance between you and any stranger you want to contact will not exceed six people.

” That is to say, in theory, you can get to know every stranger in the world by going through at most six middlemen.”

Howard narrowed his eyes and curled his lips: “It sounds like a nonsense statement, but it’s really interesting. The logical trap is that no one knows who the six strangers are and lacks the conditions for specifying a target, so they can forcefully go on.”

He raised his chin and made an evaluation.

“Howard, why do you always miss the point?”

Luke shook his head helplessly, pointed at the other man in the photo, and said, “I just want to say that if you want to explore a person’s true identity and political stance, it is completely You can start with his social circle, who he knows and who he has a close relationship with, to a certain extent, represents his class and position.

” The

gatekeeper,

the No. 2 man in Washington’s prerogative, met with a vampire in private, and the two stayed for a long time.”

“Vampire?”

Howard raised his voice a few times.

He was impressed by this.

“Yes. According to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s investigation, the person who met Stillman is called Gaetaro.”

Luke pushed the information on the table and said meaningfully: “Duke Dracula’s pure-blood descendant is also One of the rulers of the Vampire Council of North America.”

“It may sound incredible, but those nocturnal creatures who walk in the dark and dare not face the sun directly have a social system and power structure similar to humans.”

“The Vampire Council, probably equivalent to the White House cabinet, has a very Great power, can mobilize the family’s resources at any time.”

“The White House chief of staff colluded with the Vampire Council…”

Howard seemed to feel a little taste under the fine taste.

“I heard from you before that vampires claim to be immortals. Human beings may be just a short part of a long life in their eyes.”

“So, is Stillman trying to live longer?” After

thinking about it, vampires The most tempting bargaining chip for human beings is the legendary immortality.

Everyone is afraid of death and hopes that cruel time can be merciful to their own men.

“It’s not entirely true. Vampires also age, but they are much slower than humans, far from being immortal.”

Luke corrected Howard’s misunderstanding, and then continued: “As for Stillman In private contact with the Vampire Council, I began to think like you that it was an exchange of interests.”

“But with the in-depth investigation of the SHIELD agents, I found that it is not that simple.”

Having said that, Luketon After a while, he looked at Howard, who was intrigued, and asked with a smile, “Have you heard of the ‘Hawk Clan’?”

“Is it some kind of underground group that worships vampires?”

Howard thought for a few seconds, and combined the literal meaning , give the correct answer.

“That’s true of the predecessor. Humans are very complex creatures, and they sometimes need a specific image as a spiritual support.”

Luke raised his glass, stared at the amber-colored liquid, and said lightly: “The more empty you are, The more spiritual support is needed – but this is just a belief within the normal range, it belongs to personal freedom, and there is no problem.”

“When it comes to worship, that is another matter.”

“There’s money worship, male organ worship, and most commonly idolatry — all kinds.”

“People like to attach some kind of strong desire, or need, to something concrete. ”

As for the hagish clan, a group of people who pursue immortality, immortality, youthful body, fresh vitality… Later, they gradually developed into a group of people who worship vampires, want to become vampires, and even think that they are vampires. Slaves, humans are low-level creatures.”

“Oh, pathetic short-sighted fellow.”

Howard’s face showed contempt.

With his knowledge and pride, he naturally looked down on these guys.

To be more precise, he thinks that because he is not strong enough in himself, then he gives up self-thinking and gives this power to other people – all of which can be classified as idiots.

Of course—

except for personal beliefs, which can’t be called worship.

Howard himself was not a devout Christian.

“I didn’t expect Stillman to be a hag who secretly worships vampires. He graduated from Duke University’s law school. I thought law students should be more rational than normal people.”

“Don’t put labels on people casually .

, Before I met you, I also thought that the genius of MIT was probably the kind of nerd who was not close to women, and I also thought that scientists were always serious and stereotyped.”

Luke’s rebuttal left Howard speechless.

He tried Bailing’s vicious tongue in front of the other party, but it seemed to have no effect.

“After I left Washington, D.C., Stillman began to have contact with the Vampire Council. Before that, he did not show the slightest abnormality.”

Luke turned to the information of the Vampire Council Guettaro, the content was relatively simple and completely Not as detailed as White House Chief of Staff John Stillman.

From this, it can be seen that the agents and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. may be okay with ordinary people.

But dealing with a creature like a vampire, it seems a bit unsightly.

“Actually, it’s not just Stillman. Judging from the information I have and the results of the investigation, there may be one-third of the members of Congress who are hagui, or have close contacts with them.”

Lu gram tells a shocking fact.

This means that the upper level of the national power pyramid is almost completely infiltrated by vampires.

Realizing the seriousness, Howard finally restrained his cynical frivolous expression.

“The vampires in North America seem to have developed a little better than Europe.”

He took a sip of whiskey and expressed doubts.

“The two sides are different. The pure-blooded descendants of Grand Duke Dracula know more about unity, and they are closely connected with human society, while the situation in Europe is more chaotic.”

Luke briefly introduced two sentences.

“In addition, the New York Sanctuary’s crackdown on dark creatures is not large, which gives the vampire council a chance to survive.”

Over the years, pure-blood descendants have penetrated the business and political circles considerably.

At its peak, half of the top executives of Wall Street’s large financial institutions were members of the Hagui tribe.

Therefore, Wall Street elites are called “vampires”.

In a literal sense, it is actually correct.

“Howard, remember the Conqueror Kang I mentioned?”

Closing the document in his hand, Luke’s eyes flashed a sharp light.

Howard, who was sitting opposite, frowned slightly and asked: “The guy who can travel through time and space and pretend to be a historical celebrity everywhere?

” leading figure, he is likely to have his sights set on the Soviet Union.”

Luke tapped the side of the wine glass with his fingers and said softly: “If he really does this and turns himself into the one from the Kremlin, even if he wants to provoke the third world war, it may not be a problem.”

“But , after I got back to New York, back to Washington, D.C., I saw the chief of staff colluding with the vampire council, and the reclusive Mr. President…I couldn’t help but have another thought.”

“Suppose Kang the Conqueror was not in the Soviet Union .

, but – in the White House?”
