My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk

In the presidential palace, Eric met Mr. President.

Mr. President has had a good life recently, and his face is very rosy.

Eric thought he was under a lot of pressure, but he didn't expect his mental state to be so good.

Seeing Eric come in, Mr. President immediately stood up and shook hands with him.

"It's really hard work for you, Meilijia will definitely remember your contribution to this society."

Come up and put a high hat on Eric first.

Eric smiled skillfully, "I just did what I should do."

"No, actually, Director Xavier, you've done more and more than we expected."

Mr. President said meaningfully.

The smile on Eric's face was maintained, and he didn't answer his words.

Mr. President opened the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of champagne. With a big belly, he said to Eric: "This is the champagne my son-in-law gave me. It tastes absolutely good. Do you want to try it?"

Eric knew that his son-in-law, who often made money in the name of Mr. President, was an out-and-out profiteer.

"Thanks!"

He did not refuse Mr. President's kindness and readily agreed.

"In fact, the government and the Department of Defense are playing less and less of a role in the face of more and more alien invasions. And agencies like S.H.I.E.L.D., full of superheroes and unconventional weapons, are playing a role. are becoming more and more important.”

Mr. President's wine glass touched Eric's wine glass.

"Sounds reasonable."

Eric had a taste of the Victory champagne, which wasn't very good.

"So people in the Ministry of Defense and the Senate hope that the government will increase investment in S.H.I.E.L.D. to prevent future incidents from happening again. But..."

Mr. President changed the topic.

"uh-huh?"

Eric continued to play dumb.

Mr. President saw that Eric would not enter, so he had to continue: "The department and functions of SHIELD have been expanded, but the corresponding rights must also be restricted. The people in the Senate suggested that a council be established to negotiate the affairs of SHIELD .”

"Council?"

Eric put down his glass and looked at Mr. President.

Mr. President is a little unnatural. After experiencing so many incidents, he has already realized how dangerous this guy is.

There is a guy with superheroes such as Batman, Homelander, and Speedmaster under his command. If the other party wants to turn his face, absolutely no one can stop him.

So being stared at by Eric, he was a little terrified.

asshole! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have opened this mouth. Let those vampires provoke this guy by themselves. Why should I join in the fun? !

Mr. President began to secretly scold these people who are doing small tricks behind the scenes. They are all scumbags. If you don't tell him yourself, you have to do it yourself.

"Yes, the council. Most matters are negotiated by the council members. Of course, you are the chairman of the council."

Eric nodded knowingly, this is to divide his power.

"Then can I know who else is a member of the council besides me?"

Mr. President did not name the members, picked up the office phone, and called his subordinates.

After hanging up the phone, he faced Eric with a smile on his face, "One of the members is waiting outside the White House and will come in soon."

When Mr. President said this, Eric became interested.

He wanted to know who had the guts to jump into it knowing it was a fire pit.

Click!

The door was gently pushed open, and a beautiful girl walked in.

light office clothes,

Long blonde hair, tall figure.

Even wearing sunglasses, Eric could see her identity.

Congressman Victoria Newman, headshot girl!

At the congressional consultation meeting, Eric used a drone to blind one eye and withdrew from the political arena. I didn't expect to reappear in front of Eric now.

Looking at the high-spirited Victoria, who is on the road again, Eric has a feeling that things are right and wrong.

The last time I saw her was when I was fighting wits with Walter Company.

Unexpectedly, now that he is in control of Water Company, the other party has become a sharp weapon to stand up against him.

Should it be said that everything is a reincarnation?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

No, what I pursue is never those commercial successes.

So I will definitely not follow the old path of Water Company.

Seeing Eric laughing, Victoria raised her eyebrows.

She thought Eric was laughing at her.

Blind in one eye, she is extremely sensitive, so she has a bad impression of Eric's smile.

Eric naturally didn't know Victoria's inner thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

It's just a small person, even if he gets close to those careerists again and returns to the political arena, what can he represent.

It's just a pawn pushed to the fore by those politicians, or the kind that will be abandoned at any time.

"Hello, Miss Victoria."

Eric reached out and offered to shake her hand.

Victoria and Eric shook hands, "I didn't expect Mr. Eric to remember me."

"of course I remember."

Eric smiled slightly, "I was still there when the tragedy in Congress happened."

Victoria's eyes froze.

Speaking of which, she did see Eric at the scene.

So in that congressional consultation case, who launched a surprise attack on himself and blinded himself in his left eye?

She has always been brooding over that accident. If it hadn't been for that accident, her political career would not have come to an end, and she would not have spent such a long time lying in the hospital complaining about herself.

So she has been secretly investigating the real culprit behind this incident.

Victoria hated others for ruining her political career, but she didn't think of those who were killed by her own headshot.

She stared at Eric, trying to see something in his eyes.

is it him?

Is he behind everything?

Eric's eyes did not change in any way, with a faint smile, he shook hands with her.

"I believe that you will be able to cooperate well and maintain the affairs of SHIELD together. Of course, Miss Victoria mainly assists you, Mr. Eric."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Eric would be unhappy, Mr. President added another sentence.

"I will, I will."

Eric let go of his hand and stared into Victoria's eyes. "I can't forget the scene at that time. I already have clues about the murderer who caused the tragedy. Miss Victoria, do you want to hear it?"

"Um?"

Victoria froze.

She began to be a little scared, did the other party really have any evidence,

If it is true, is it possible that the other party has held the handle for me?

Wouldn't that be the end of the game? !

I was sent to S.H.I.E.L.D. to seize power with Eric, and now that my handle is held in the hands of the other party, wouldn't it be that there is no room for him to use it.

After Eric said something that surprised Victoria, he turned and walked out.

"We can talk about this next time. I still have something to do, Mr. President, Ms. Victoria, let's go first. If you have anything to do, you two can contact my secretary—Miss Kate Fox."
