“Mr. Ling, what are you talking about, I didn’t understand a word.” Seeing Ling Xiao suddenly appeared, Christian immediately denied everything, and then he pointed at Grant. He said loudly: “Why don’t you catch him quickly, he is from Hydra.”
Seeing the words and actions of his own brother blinking repeatedly, Grant didn’t care, he knew what he was like. People have known for a long time that Christian would never admit everything he said before once hope appeared.
“Mr. Ling, I think you suddenly appeared here, it must not be just for me.” Grant’s gaze fell on Christian, and said pityingly: “You came to him today for Christian, it’s said that his status in Congress has improved a lot!”
After Grant said, Christian’s face changed suddenly. What Grant said was exactly what he worried about. Once he was grasped With this handle, he is likely to be controlled by others, but Christian deep in one’s heart is secretly relieved, because this means that he will not die today.
“Hehe, Grant said well, I’m here for this…” Ling Xiao didn’t finish speaking, Grant Ward on the side had already pulled out his gun and fired several shots at Christian on the ground. Then turned around and ran.
Ward is very smart. He doesn’t shoot at Ling Xiao at all. With his knowledge of Avengers’ strength, such a bullet simply can’t hurt him, so of course he chooses Christian. If Ling Xiao really doesn’t treat Christian If there is an attempt, then he will never allow Christian to die easily, and will definitely save him, and this short time will give Ward a chance to escape.
As soon as the gunshot sounded, Christian closed his eyes subconsciously, because he saw Grant shooting himself with his own eyes. He thought that oneself would definitely not be able to survive. However, after waiting for a long time, he didn’t feel any No one died for any pain.
I saw Christian slowly opening his eyes. In an instant, he was taken aback, because a silver bullet was spinning rapidly in front of his eyes, as if next moment It was about to shoot into the center of his eyebrows, scaring him back several steps quickly.
Until this time, he realized that the bullet had been floating in midair, and behind the bullet was a emptied palm, white as jade, slender Delicate, palm with clearly visible palmprints, it was the palm that controlled the bullet that hit his forehead.
Looking at the appearance of Christian being a little lost, Ling Xiao sneered, and with a wave of his hand, three bullets immediately hurriedly shot into the soil under Christian’s feet, and shot deep into it, without bottom.
At this time, Ling Xiao turned around and took a photo of Grant Ward who had fled to the distance. A black square-shaped thing immediately flew out of Grant Ward’s body, and finally fell into it. In Ling Xiao’s hands, Christian saw clearly that it turned out to be a recorder.
Ling Xiao pressed the switch of the recorder, listened to the recording, and then changed hands to play the contents recorded by Grant Ward, only listening to the intermittent saying: “…I did it. I know. I want him to die. I’m sorry, I want him to die…”
Hearing the recording of the other party, Christian immediately understood that Grant never wanted to make him feel better. With this recording, He can destroy everything he has now, and he will definitely do so, but now, Christian looks up towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiled softly and turned over the palm. The tape recorder that had fallen into his hands was gone.
Christian’s face immediately turned ugly, but he quickly recovered his politician qualities, laughed reluctantly, and asked: “Mr. Ling, don’t you go after Grant? If you don’t chase, he will Are you going to run?”
“Don’t worry about Grant, someone is waiting for him outside.” Ling Xiao reached out and pulled Christian up from the ground, and then lightly said with a smile: “Okay, Senator , Now there are the two of us left here, it’s time to talk about the things between us.”
“What do you want?” Christian took a deep breath and stepped back. Gritting his teeth, staring at Ling Xiao closely.
“Me!” Ling Xiao laughed and said, “I need an alliance, an alliance that speaks a lot in the US Government.”
“Your relationship with White House Isn’t it always good?” Christian frowned, he didn’t quite understand what Ling Xiao meant.
Although it was the first time Christian met Ling Xiao, the two have been in contact since a long time ago. After the Washington incident, Talbot was ordered to censor Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao Very don’t give face, not only called the Stark industry’s huge lawyers, but also called White House. Under heavy pressure, Talbot had to give in.
That’s what happened at that time. Christian knew about the good relationship between Ling Xiao and White House, but why is he doing this now?
“The midterm elections will be coming soon.” Ling Xiao slightly sighed and said, “The President election will be held in two years, and President Ellis’s two-term term has come. He can no longer participate in the presidential election. campaign, the next President’s attitude towards superhero is also very unclear.
Especially recently, some people in Congress have proposed to implement the Superhuman Registration Act. Although it is not yet a climate, I I can feel that there is a wave of opposition to superhero in fluctuation, and it is said that a strong storm will erupt in the future.”
“Superhuman Registration Act case.” Christian political thinking that mentioned politics went online immediately. He frowns tightly and said: “Although I don’t know the details of this Superhuman Registration Act, on the surface, I am still inclined to this bill.”
“If it’s just this registration scheme, it is simply In terms of speaking, there is no problem, but I am worried that some people will use this bill to fish in troubled waters.” Ling Xiao slightly shook the head, said: “Like the earlier William Stryker, General Ross of the Ministry of Defense, also used to SHIELD all use superhumans to conduct human experiments, and it has been under the cover of the government for decades, and maybe even people are doing it in secret now.”
Ling Xiao lightly sighed, said “This kind of thing cannot be cut off. The superhuman registration bill is likely to turn all superhumans into attackable targets. Once these things are exposed again, I think you should think about what this kind of thing can cause. The impact!”
Christian Ward fell silent, awhile later, he asked, “What do you need me to do, and what can I get from it?”
” I don’t need you to explicitly oppose this plan. If possible, try to let you yourself control the bill to prevent him from becoming a tool used by others, nothing more. As for what you can get from it,” Ling Xiao laughed, said “It’s nothing, a large amount of campaign funds, secretly enough manpower, although I can’t let you ascendi ng to the skies with a single leap, but at least it can make you occupy a more important position in Congress. ”
In United States, President and White House have executive power, courts have judicial power, United States Congress has legislative power and financial appropriation power, and the most important institution for Congress to exercise these powers is the Congress. A supervisory committee, nominally speaking, all agencies in United States are on the watch list, including White House.
With Christian Ward’s qualifications, even if he is given more money, he will run for president , And only a disastrous end, it’s better to stand inside the Congress and strive to become the chairman of a certain powerful supervisory committee. It is best to be able to oversee the implementation of the Superhuman Registration Act.
“Okay, yes, We can cooperate. “Christian extend the hand, Ling Xiao smiled softly, extend the hand and clasp him tightly.
“Senator, we can contact again if we have something, I will take a step now. After Ling Xiao said, he took a step back and bowed slightly. Next moment, his silhouette disappeared directly in front of Christian’s eyes. I don’t know if it was teleport, or illusion?
Christian’s face is very complicated. , While later he was sighed in relief, turned around and walked towards the family’s villa.
From beginning to end, Christian did not ask Ling Xiao to bring the tape over, because he Knowing that it is impossible, the other party needs to threaten him with that thing, lest he go back on one’s word in the future. In fact, he doesn’t at all have too many choices. In addition to the recorder, Ling Xiao’s strength also allows him very afraid, because that is an ability that has never appeared in official records.
