Chapter 1065
Another plane crash, this time with cargo from the US to Europe. The value of this batch of goods is higher, and there are no beauty products, all of which are x potions. The value of this batch of drugs exceeds 500 million U.S. dollars, and this batch of medicines has already had a buyer, so it is a used product.
The production of Agent X requires cycles. It doesn't mean that if you want it, it will be there immediately. x Beauty Potion first opened its market in Europe, and many women in Europe are obsessed with x Beauty Potion. Whether it is the medicine that does not make you fat, or the medicine that can increase the size of the local area, it has been greatly welcomed. There are also underwater breathing potions for those who like diving and so on. The market for these agents is very broad.
And such a plane crash has caused a serious consequence, that is, the delivery time must not be kept up, and now it must be in breach of contract. When the major specialty stores in Europe posted the delay of the goods and sent text messages to the customers who ordered the products to inform them of the delay of the goods, some of the angry customers even besieged the specialty stores.
Several violent clashes also erupted in the UK. Fortunately, there were no casualties, only three shop assistants suffered some skin trauma. However, because of this incident and the plane crash, the stock price of Stark Group fell sharply, and the closing price plummeted by 3% that day. Assets of more than 12 billion US dollars evaporated instantly.
A seemingly insignificant incident caused Stark's business empire to encounter unprecedented challenges. The evening news of the economic station broadcast the incident that day.
The male host in a well-fitting blue suit spoke to the camera and the audience all over the United States: "The stock price of Stark Group fell sharply today. The cause was two consecutive plane crashes. Although Sugon Technology is Tony Stark private industry, but many people regard it as a subsidiary of the Stark Group."
"The direct economic losses caused by the two accidents are not too great for Sugon Technology or the Stark Group. But it is a great blow to market confidence. Some people already think that this is a premeditated attack on Sugon Technology and them. products. Among them, the main target is X agents. And such sniping undoubtedly makes people wonder, will the attacks stop?"
"Tony Stark should have called the police to solve this matter. But it seems that our superhero Iron Man probably wants to find the murderer himself. Someone has seen a large number of steel armor flying towards the crash site this afternoon..."
Before the anchor finished speaking, the TV was turned off.
"I'm very angry!" Tony's tone was cold, he was not joking: "I want to find out who did all of this now. This is not only about the loss of tens of billions of dollars, but also seven lives."
The two plane crashes claimed the lives of the seven crew members on board, and not even their remains have been found. This is what annoys Tony the most.
"Whoever it is, I need him to pay for everything he's done!" Tony's face twitched. The other members of the Illuminati looked at Tony, and it seemed that Iron Man was coming for real.
———————————————
On Fifth Avenue on the east side of Manhattan, a magnificent palace-shaped building stands among these high-rise buildings. It is said that it was just an abandoned church in New York in the early years, but later someone bought it with money and made a transformation into what it is now.
No one thought that this building was actually the global headquarters of the Hellfire Club. It is only a stone's throw away from the Stark Group building, but no one has ever known what this building is for.
Because this is a completely closed non-entry place. This place is only open to members. The Hellfire Club is very low-key, not like Hydra. They have always lived in this world with a superior attitude, and they don't think they have anything to talk about with ordinary people (including ordinary mutants).
Members use their personal connections and various conveniences provided by the organization to expand their territory in business or political circles. The Hellfire Club existed as early as the eighteenth century. This is a veteran organization that has existed for nearly two hundred years.
They are mysterious like the legendary Freemasons, secretly manipulating politics and global trends. They were indeed quite successful for a certain period of time, and they really controlled the direction of the world. Including the US general election, including the financial crisis and stock market crash, these are the timings for them to harvest leeks.
But in recent years, members of the Hellfire Club have found it increasingly difficult for them to control everything secretly.
They clearly felt that there was a big hand secretly manipulating everything. Let the direction of the earth become more and more unpredictable. Many of the connections and relationships that were once there are no longer useful. For example, the club once wanted to invite sunspot Roberto to join the Hellfire Club, because he is one of the world's largest suppliers of raw materials such as metal, wood and grain. But this guy refused, and then participated in some kind of mutant nation-building activities.
How stupid! How stupid!
Doesn't he know that there is an essential difference between those who stand at the top and those weak, helpless and useless mutants?
But now the world is changing too fast, and the old energy era is quietly coming to an end. Human alien mining has become a reality, and all aliens have come. And one of the things that most touched the interests of these people in the Hellfire Club also included the appearance of x potions.
This thing can actually neutralize those eliminated among mutants (Ipsilon, Delta, etc.), and now Alpha mutants seem to be becoming less and less valuable. Just go to the pharmacy on the side of the road and buy a shot, prick yourself and an alpha-level mutant is born.
It's ridiculous! When did alpha mutants become such worthless things? ! This is intolerable to many in the Hellfire Club. This is like the difficulty of pure-blood mages in the wizarding world for Muggle mages.
So today I saw the plane crash of the X drug, and many members of the Hellfire Club are discussing this matter.
"Ha! Tony Stark's doing it to himself. Don't know who did it, but I think I need to raise a glass to whoever did it!" suggested a member of the Hellfire Club ringing the bell at the bar. (The bar rings the bell to signal the bell ringer to pay the bill)
There were a lot of followers in the arena, and everyone raised their glasses and cheered.
But at the top of the club, Sebastian Shaw didn't look very good. In the past two years, the number of influential people in the club has begun to decrease. Although it is not obvious, it has already shown such a trend. The earth is in a stage of transformation, if you can't keep up with the times, you will be eliminated.
Sebastian is a middle-aged man with a calm face. He has a very neatly combed black back hair. He tapped on the table thinker, and at this moment a sexy woman with long straight blond hair walked in. She is Emma, the White Queen of the organization.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked.
"I'm thinking that maybe we should absorb new blood, and we shouldn't limit our targets to mutants, maybe some ordinary people from industry elites will do as well." Sebastian expressed his thoughts.
Emma said noncommittally, "For example?"
"For example, Tony Stark. He has a ticket to the future. If he can become one of us, it will be a great boost to our organization." Sebastian touched Talking about buttoning his sleeves.
"You haven't even seen Tony Stark in real life. Do you think it's so easy to convince him to join us?" Emma expressed a disbelief about this matter.
Just as they were chatting, a group of uninvited guests broke into the club that should not be entered.
