Chapter 1843 Face Problem Conflict of Interests
What Stark is saying now is obviously a bit of a philistine. But as usual, with his temper, he would never be able to say such a thing.
The main reason why he has such a change is the value displayed by Gu Yi. It is not necessary to elaborate on the value of being able to move two thousand-meter-long mountains in an instant, and be able to fight off monsters that the entire human being is helpless.
And it would be fine if this ability was not seen by other people. In this case, even if she has earth-shattering ability, she can only be an unknown hermit, and will not have any impact on the structure of this world.
However, the problem now is that her ability has been revealed, and it has been directly revealed in front of the political leaders of various countries.
A mage who is more powerful than the ultimate weapon shared by human beings but cannot use it without authorization, such an existence is enough to make those politicians regard her as a sweet potato, and make ambitious people want to go to her at all costs. Get the power she has.
This is like when nuclear weapons first came out, whoever mastered this nuclear weapon has a huge right to speak. And the game at the national level derived from this is a problem that Stark is the last to see, but he has to face at this moment.
It is impossible for him to let the ancient class fall to other countries, and that will only make the United States' right to speak in the world weaker and weaker. And if at this moment he still clings to their past festivities, then this is obviously a stupid act of pushing her out.
Emotionally, it was difficult for him to forgive what Gu Yi had done to him. But rationally, especially at the level of national interests, he had to make a choice against his will at this time.
This is a very helpless thing, however, this is reality. Stark needs to say such words against his will due to reality, and Gu Yi also has to accept Stark's kindness because of the needs of reality.
It would not be an easy task even for her to be an enemy of the ruler of a secular country. Unless she had to, she would not choose to put herself in such a position. Therefore, even though she was well aware of her disgraceful behavior and felt a certain degree of shame for it, after weighing her interests, she still made the choice that was most beneficial to her.
Face, this thing is not important, it's just a face, it can compare with real benefits. She was already at this age, so she was quite open about it. In contrast, Peter is not so thick-skinned.
When Gu Yi said nothing, he just smiled and shook hands with Stark. Peter immediately turned his face away, and started yelling at his subordinates.
There is no need for them to exist here anymore, so he would naturally think of taking his brothers and leaving here. After all, they are now wanted criminals. And as a wanted criminal, appearing openly in front of these big shots is itself an eyesore. He hasn't been ignorant to that point yet, so leaving is his best choice.
Of course, like Gu Yi, he could also make a deal with Stark to some extent in exchange for a change in his identity. However, his dignity prevented him from doing such a thing. So he would rather choose this worst outcome.
This is very regrettable. At the very least, when Stark saw Peter's determination, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.
For him, since he chose to have sex with Gu Yi, it is not impossible for him to forgive another Peter. As long as he can be given a step down, then everything is just a matter of course.
However, Peter's choice basically cuts off that possibility. Even if he thought about it in his heart, he couldn't lower his value to say this and make any generous promises to him. anyway,
After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the United States, and there are some things he can't say directly even if he wants to. Besides, who can guarantee that Peter will accept his kindness even if he said this? If he said it, and Peter rejected him in person, it would not be just one or two people who would be embarrassed.
As a qualified politician, he must consider all aspects of this issue. And it was precisely because of these considerations that he could only turn his head and communicate with Gu Yi by pretending not to see Peter and the others.
"The war is over. Do you have any plans for the future? Your Excellency Ancient One. Do you want to continue your mage's secluded life, or do you plan to change your way of life?"
"I'm not sure yet, Lord Stark. Maybe I'll go back to Karma Taj for a while to decide what to do next..."
Gu Yi's answer was somewhat ambiguous. This is not only to prevent interested people from finding out their plans, but also to give Stark and Peter a reasonable step down.
She could see Stark's struggle. From her point of view, she actually doesn't want to see Peter and Stark reach a reconciliation, and stage a scene where they meet and smile and end their grievances.
The existence of Ghost Rider is like an invincible sword. And such a sharp sword is really not suitable to be held in the hands of any secular country. That will break the balance between countries, and it will bring to the surface a lot of things that should not exist in the dunya.
This is not what Gu Yi wants to see. Therefore, although the current development of the situation was somewhat unfair to Peter, she still let it all go and let the situation develop like this. It was even said that, in order to prevent Stark from suddenly changing his mind, she specifically talked about a topic that Stark had to care about at this time.
"Your Excellency Stark, your son, my disciple - Frank. I want to take him with me when I go to Karma Taj. You should also know that Frank has an extraordinary talent in this respect , I don’t think we should waste this talent. So give him to me and let me take him to practice at a deeper level. I think this should be a very good choice for his future.”
Frank is the secret treasure in Stark's heart, and he is one of the most cherished people in this world. When it came to him, Stark had to turn his attention, out of a fatherly instinct.
"Are you optimistic about Frank? Although I admit that he is very smart, but speaking of talent in magic...is he really as powerful as you say?"
"Of course, you should trust my vision. Frank's aptitude is the best I have seen in hundreds of years. I have full confidence. As long as you agree to let him accept my careful training, sooner or later, he will You can inherit my mantle and become... the supreme mage. Although this is just a title, the title itself represents some special meanings. Isn't it?"
Although it is true to say so, but hearing the ancient use of the Supreme Mage as a rhetoric, Stark still inevitably had a different emotion in his heart.
Others don't know how that unlucky Mo Du embarked on this extreme path, but he knows it well. Maybe Modu's own thinking bears a considerable part of the factor, but he feels that more of the reason is probably due to the name of the Supreme Mage.
If it wasn't for his excessive desire for this title, and Gu Yitai's taking this title as a thing and keeping it hidden all the time, maybe he wouldn't have come to where he is today.
All in all, this is a thing that can kill people to death, and to put such a thing on his son's head, even if it is just a possibility, Stark will never be willing in his heart. So he rejected Gu Yi's kindness, even if it was very tactful, but in the end he refused.
"I'm very happy that you value Frank's talent so much. But if you let him inherit your mantle, then I'm sorry, Your Excellency Ancient One. As a father, please forgive me for not accepting such a proposal."
"Can I ask why?"
The title of supreme mage can be said to be the most valuable bargaining chip in Gu Yi's hands. It represents the orthodox rulership of the Karma Taj line and all the knowledge she has amassed over the millennia. Coupled with the deterrent power of this title itself in the mysterious world, in terms of value alone, it will not even be inferior to the leader status of any country.
This means that she doesn't open her mouth casually. If she is willing to say this casually, believe it or not, the person who wants to grab this title will have his head smashed. It's not about the mages of Kama Taj's faction, even those national forces, after seeing the power of her supreme mage, how many people can not be tempted by this?
The decision Stark made in this situation is absolutely unexpected. As for his decision that no one could have imagined, Gu Yi of course wanted to know the reason why he would say that.
Of course, on this issue, Stark couldn't say that he didn't want to push his son into the fire pit because he felt that the name was bad. What the Supreme Mage said is to show some face, he can't do this kind of thing that directly slaps her in the face. So after coughing twice, he gave a reason that was not a reason.
"You know, my family still has a huge business. The Stark family business has been managed hard since my father's generation, and I don't want it to be passed down to my generation. Besides, , compared to magic, I hope that Frank can do more on the road of science. After all, our family has been doing this for generations. If I just jump to the opposite side, I think my death The dead ghost father who has been dead for many years will definitely come back to trouble me!"
This is just a reason, Gu Yi can hear it. As for such dodging words, she is naturally unwilling to put on a shy face, as if she has no other choice but your son, and continues to stalk her. She is not so cheap, and the name of the supreme mage is not so worthless. So, after a little silence, she smiled and said this to Stark.
"Really? That's really a pity. But even if Frank doesn't inherit this title, he can still be a great mage, right? His talent is so outstanding, it really shouldn't be wasted like this."
"Of course. It's his honor to have you as his teacher. I don't want him to waste such a good opportunity!"
On the premise of not harming the fundamental interests of both parties, they are naturally willing to make some polite compliments to each other. This is harmless, but many people can see the tricks between these two guys, but they don't say a word.
Of course, there is a part of the reason for fear. After all, before knowing what kind of relationship Stark has with this supreme mage who can change the situation of the battle at will, no one wants to provoke them rashly. Fortunately for Stark, that bald woman called the Supreme Mage, who knows what kind of temper she has. If she was a weird guy, then maybe she would burn her anger on herself when she interrupted.
No one is willing to take this risk before finding out the temper of the Supreme Mage. That's why the leaders of these countries stared blankly at each other, watching Stark hook up with Ancient One.
This is one reason, and the other reason is that they themselves also need to make a discussion on how to get in touch with a role like the Supreme Mage.
This is like a big gambling game, only those with sufficient capital are eligible to stand in front of the gambling table, and those small countries that can only act on the eyes of others, at most, can only yell from the sidelines. And even if it is said that quite a number of unqualified people have been eliminated in this way, it must be known that there is only one role like the Supreme Mage, and only one Supreme Mage means that only one side of this big gamble is qualified to laugh at the end of.
In the past, this should have been a situation where each side showed their means. But in the current international situation, if they still play this game, it will obviously make some people laugh in the dark.
The general trend requires them not to engage in such internal strife, so while negotiating a result first, and electing a recognized winner through the transfer of interests, this is probably the only choice they can make.
Many people are quite the winner, and it generally depends on who of them can offer the most lucrative conditions. To put it bluntly, this is the same as canvassing votes before the Democratic election. It is unlikely that there will be peace here and everything will go smoothly. Arguing into a pot of porridge, this is the most normal situation at the moment.
As for who is the ultimate beneficiary of this benefit, although Stark doesn't care on the surface, in fact he has already put his ears up, waiting for the final result to come out.
