Chapter 760 The Restrained Lion (Please Vote for Me)
"Church" leaned against the engine side of a black Chevrolet SUV, looking at a TV wall inside a roadside display window.
What was playing on the TV was Alvin standing on the podium and being questioned by reporters.
About ten minutes later, Barney, a strong man covered in the smell of blood, walked out of a house not far away from the side with a few of his men.
After sending a few of his guys to get in the car first, Barney took out half a cigar from a pocket on his chest and smiled with satisfaction on his face.
Walking to "Church", Barney lit the cigar and took a puff. Looking at "Church" who was staring at the TV, Barney also glanced at him, and then said: "What? What did Alvin's press conference do to you? Interesting news?"
"Church" glanced at Barney and said in a low voice: "A very interesting press conference.
Our Principal Alvin has mastered the skill of talking nonsense seriously, and some people will be unable to sit still..."
Barney tilted his mouth indifferently, carefully took off a ring engraved with a skull on his finger and put it into his chest pocket, and then said: "This is a good thing, it shows that Alvin begins to know how to deal with situations other than swords and guns. ”
As he spoke, Barney raised his head with a strange expression on his face and said, "It's a pity that the "War Wild Dog" will never learn.
Okay, where to next?
There are not many opportunities to go on a killing spree in the United States, so I have to seize the time..."
"Church" pursed his mean lips, with a malicious sneer on his old face, and said sarcastically to Barney: "You will learn. When the wild dog has no teeth, it will learn to be smarter."
Barney shrugged his shoulders indifferently, took a long puff of cigar, and spat bitter saliva at the foot of the "church". The tough old guy looked at the "church" with drooped eyelids and extremely cold eyes. The old guy stared at each other without giving an inch for a few seconds...
“When a wild dog has no teeth, it’s time for him to die!”
"Church" looked at Barney's still strong figure who turned to leave, suddenly shook his head and laughed, and said softly: "No, the wild dog also wants to have a home..."

Ellis, the only unlucky president to have been kidnapped in American history, was sitting in the White House office, watching Alvin's press conference with several staff and military personnel.
President Ellis, who was originally quite relaxed, has been viewing this so-called press conference as a joke.
The attack on Stark was definitely a big deal, at least the military's backlash was very serious.
After all, the Stark Group and the military have very close cooperation, but now from the surface of the matter, it seems that the military led the attack.
However, President Ellis clearly knows that this is a game between two parties within the energy group. A congressman and a vice president are leading their respective interest groups in a life-and-death struggle.
President Ellis doesn't care too much about who wins and who loses. It won't affect him. After all, after this president finishes his duties, the next one will definitely have nothing to do with him.
Because he is a stain on the history of the White House of the United States, he was kidnapped from his vacation cabin. The kidnapper pretended to be him and held several important meetings, and his wife is still unwilling to appear on the same occasion as him.
The most damning thing is that the terrorist who pretended to be himself was killed heroically on his behalf...
The only reason why he was not impeached and resigned was that the people sympathized with him. If there was a world record, it would have President Ellis' name on it.
But the main reason that kept the president silent in this situation was that Tony Stark had never shown respect to him!
As the president of the most powerful country in the world, it is difficult to express favorability towards a behemoth monopoly that is not very controlled.
Especially in the foreseeable future, Stark Group will monopolize the entire upstream of the new energy industry.
Therefore, the entire upper echelon of the United States, everyone who has access to a little information, is waiting and watching. They are waiting for the outcome of the matter, and then decide what actions to take.
Even the terrifying chaos of the CIA did not move them. Waiting is the main theme now...
But now he heard Alvin at a press conference broadcast live across the United States, in front of those "billboards" that were so ridiculous that they seemed like a farce...
The respected Mr. Manhattan Tomahawk frowned, used the reasoning of a first-rate detective and the lines of a Hollywood script, and poured all the dirty water on the White House and the military, which were considered the two most unjust places. …
Watching Alvin on TV, he shouted righteously, "When New York was first attacked, where were the White House and the military?
It is we ourselves who are fighting bloody battles...
Who will save New York when it is attacked for the second time, or us...
Oh, for the first time our President cannot be blamed, he was kidnapped, and the hapless terrorist took a bomb on his behalf before he could do anything bad.
What about the people in the military?
I saw several brave pilots and several teams of brave soldiers. They were all great!
The military has the most advanced weapons in the world, but they let them float overseas...
Maybe let them shoot towards the mainland of the United States...
Wow...that's Tony Stark, and 24 hours after he was attacked, all we got was a call from NYPD Commissioner George Stacey.
At this time, American justice is only reflected in the police...
The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the Tobacco Administration, and all these other departments disappeared? What are they using our tax dollars for?
This is a conspiracy!
Although it is a conspiracy against Tony Stark, but guys, they can target Stark without any scruples today. Think about the future, do we still have a future? "
In the Presidential Office of the White House, President Ellis angrily picked up the remote control and smashed it at the TV. He clenched his fists and shouted through gritted teeth: "This is a lunatic. He is slandering us. How dare he..."
The fat, white, bald Secretary of State looked at Ellis's gaffe with some sympathy, shook his head helplessly and said: "He is warning us...
Just look at whether he mentioned the CIA, which has the most serious problem, and you know that he is dissatisfied with our sit-down attitude, and he is forcing us to take a stand!
Looks like we all underestimated this Alvin, he doesn't seem as reckless as he's been acting like, or someone is helping him! "
A black lieutenant general in the military pursed his stern lips, looked at President Ellis who was pacing back and forth, and said: "Stark is an important partner of the military, but now someone is using the military's equipment and personnel to attack Got him.
One of our most elite special forces was torn to pieces by the big green monster before they even landed on the beach in New York.
I just received a notice that Stark Group sent a document cutting off all cooperation projects with the military. Projects worth tens of billions have been suspended.
I don’t know who can bypass our command and issue orders without authorization, but this is not allowed. Someone is opening Pandora’s box. When politics and business begin to be decided by blood..."
As he spoke, the black lieutenant general shook his head with a strange expression and said: "I seem to have returned to the era of Prohibition, when people used swords and guns to fight for profits.
Gentlemen, watching someone ignite the "fire of war", the consequence of sitting on the sidelines is that you will face the "fire of war" in the future.
I am a soldier and I like war, but that does not mean that the military can be used casually! "
A thin staff member with a messy beard coughed twice. He sat on a chair with his legs crossed, holding a cheap pen in his hand and looking at the messy lines on the notebook he pushed up.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted to him, this skinny staff member twitched his nose out of habit, glanced around with a smile, and then said: "Gentlemen, face reality!
What we have to do now is hold a press conference before get off work today. Before the White House and the military become the target of talk show ridicule, we need to make our attitude clear!
We all made a stupid mistake. When facing Principal Alvin, our best thing to do is to take the American Constitution and act in accordance with the above provisions.
Instead of being a manager and keeping silent when you know someone is doing something stupid!
Compared with the benefits that may be gained, the losses to this country are simply immeasurable!
Many people claim to be familiar with the Constitution and even carry the General Chapter of the Constitution in their arms, but how many people can remember the contents at the beginning of the Constitution?
How many people are actually following the requirements above? "
As he spoke, the skinny staff member twitched his nose like a heavy drug addict, while pointing at Alvin who was "pointing out the world" and "talking nonsense" on the cracked TV screen, and said sarcastically: "A lion is restraining himself. For his own desires, he never pursues anything other than "food".
But a group of hyenas are happy to see lions driven out of their territory because they think they will get more food.
But they forgot that when a friendly lion is driven away, when another ferocious lion comes, who is going to stop it..."
…………
Chief George was sitting in the office of the police headquarters, watching Alvin on the TV, the police chief who had tightened himself up, and he breathed a sigh of helpless relief.
Alvin's attack covered the entire American management team, but left out the New York police.
Director George knew Alvin, and he was always there to protect his friend.
However, the performance of the New York police in this incident is not satisfactory. At least now, the "murders" in the city continue. Those big shots regard this place as a "battlefield" but they can't do anything about it!
Just when Director George was in a daze, a young policewoman anxiously pushed away his office and shouted: "Director, you'd better come and take a look..."
