Chapter 1880

Hank's magical journey ends quickly... but it's a pleasant experience. By the way, there was an episode in the middle. It happened when Morgan was planning to buy clothes for everyone.

Although Morgan is a bald man and is still single at the age of sixty, in fact, this bald man is still very stylish. He likes customized suits...well, it is purely a personal hobby. Most of the time, he actually doesn't know how to wear them. There was no way. When he was young, he had been working as a field agent on the front line, and there were not many opportunities to wear formal suits. As he got older, although he still liked suits, to be honest, his social circle was very small, and as he got older, he also He didn't care much about image. The suit was beautiful, but it was too figure-conscious and not casual enough. He began to prefer comfort, and he would be comfortable whatever he wanted.

But he still orders a suit for himself every year as a gift to himself.

Since he came to New York this time, Morgan planned to order a set of formal clothes for all the children. He had not given them gifts yet.

Now that we're here, let's get one set for each person.

Anyway, Morgan is not short of money, Morgan is very rich. He had been working in the field for so many years. Although he was considered clean, he still saved a lot of money. Field service is different from civilian work and in-country activities, with strict budgets and audits. Overseas, the CIA's activities are very free, there are not so many audits, and the budget is more flexible - otherwise, why do you think the CIA still makes money everywhere and uses any means to make money?

On the surface, the CIA seems to be a huge intelligence agency, with a huge number of real estate resources, employees and intelligence personnel around the world. The budget allocated by the government every year seems huge, but it may not be sufficient for each specific task. , there are many specific secret operations that cannot be made public. These budgets are part of the "black budget" (a budget that cannot disclose the source and destination of funds). Not only the CIA has a black budget, but the Department of Defense and many other agencies have it. This kind of institution. For the CIA, there are many places where money is needed, and it is often not convenient to reimburse. Take the American TV series "Homeland Security" as an example. In addition to the regular things that require money for field work, such as "making documents, purchasing weapons and... In addition to "food, clothing, housing and transportation" and other funds, there are also bribes (such as bribing prison guards at the beginning of the first season, as well as bribing medical staff, guards and police, etc.), transferring informants and other groups or personal transaction intelligence, etc. Many times, this kind of fund demand arises at any time, and even in order to prevent network tracking, only cash is required. Waiting until the approval is passed before transferring the money is not only too late, but also leaves a tail. Therefore, if there are other non-custodial funds, Operation budget, then the speed of the operation will be greatly improved, so there are many additional means of generating income, including but not limited to planting and chasing drugs.

At the same time, when operating overseas, many field agents have a very high degree of freedom... They cannot report everything, that is unrealistic. The key is that if you do some things without reporting them, it’s fine. But once you report it, then do it. You might have to take the blame one day!

This is the reality.

A classic line from Yang Jinshui in "The Ming Dynasty": "Some things can't be weighed as much as four ounces, but they can't be beaten by a thousand catties."

In short, because of this convenience, many CIA field agents are actually very rich... They don't even need to be particularly involved in corruption. After all, there are no audits. Their funding sources are also confidential, and the direction of the funds is even more confidential. There is no way to check afterward.

It is basically an unspoken rule that everyone agrees that field agents eat part of the activity funds. Please, in such a complicated environment abroad, those field agents may be killed by other countries' intelligence agencies at any time. There is no tomorrow, if there is no point. Good thing, who does it?

How can it be possible for people to work so hard for such a measly monthly salary, when other countries don’t provide enough? (American CIA agents really rebelled because of salary issues)

So no matter how clean Morgan is, he still has a lot of money in his hands. And his retirement salary is very high. He is an ace agent and has a very high retirement level. His monthly retirement salary can instantly beat the monthly salary of most Americans.

The key is that after he betrayed the CIA, he could still get his retirement salary!

Then he was re-employed, and the government paid him three melons and two dates, and the salary was much higher than his retirement salary.

He himself has basically no hobbies except drinking. After retiring from the CIA, he stayed at home every day. His biggest hobby was calling the customer service of other people's pension management departments, just to chat with other girls... Basically free of charge.

It doesn't matter if you keep the money or spend it.

Then Morgan took the members of Team X to the Brooks Brothers store.

People who often wear suits should be familiar with this brand. Almost every man who wears a suit will like its items. This brand claims to have created the male hormone of an era.

What is its charm that can capture so many people? An American brand with more than 200 years of history, the title of "Presidential Clothing"...

Speaking of the birth of Brooks Brothers, we have to start with the social conditions in the United States. At that time, the United States had just entered a period of reconstruction after the war of independence. The British navy blocked American maritime trade, preventing the entry of textiles needed by the United States. However, it was the crisis that created a turning point. Americans thought that since we could not import, we would produce it ourselves. Thus, America's first textile mills and fashion brands were born.

In 1818, Henry Sands Brooks, who was already 45 years old, opened a suit shop called H.&D.H.Brooks&Co. in New York City, which was the predecessor of Brooks Brothers. It was also on this day that Henry Sands Brooks made a major decision to create ready-to-wear suits, which means ready to wear at any time.

You should know that American suits at that time were still in the custom mechanism, and they had to be tailored and wait for several months before they could be put on. Just like Japan in the early 20th century believed that suits had to be customized, and super fit was a symbol of upper class and taste. They called any non-customized clothes "hanging things", which was full of contempt. Therefore, Brooks Brothers' Ready-to-Wear suits can be regarded as a revolution in American suits, and for the first time opened the history of ready-to-wear suits.

At that time, the United States was in the "gold rush", which was the peak period that created American men's fashion. Gold diggers don't have the patience to wait for tailors to tailor their suits, so Brooks Brothers launched ready-to-wear suits, selecting high-quality fabrics and making a series of suits in sizes based on popular styles. Compared with customization, it is not only much cheaper, but you can also get an elegant gentleman's suit without waiting, so why not? In 1850, Brooks Brothers began to use the brand logo that is still used today, a hanging golden sheep. It originated from ancient Greek mythology and symbolizes wealth, indomitable will, ideals and happiness. Later, with the rise of Brooks Brothers, "Golden Fleece" became synonymous with high-quality wool, and all men dreamed of owning a Brooks Brothers.

We mentioned above that Brooks Brothers is known as the "President's Royal Clothes", because 40 of the 45 presidents in American history wore Brooks Brothers to attend the inauguration ceremony. President Lincoln was a loyal fan of the brand. He once gave a speech at his inauguration ceremony wearing a Brooks Brothers custom coat with "One Nation, One Destiny" embroidered on it. Kennedy, Ford, Bush and other successive presidents were all loyal customers. For more than 200 years, Brooks Brothers has not only been loved by successive US presidents, but also by Hollywood movie stars and artists. It is a model of American clothing and a representative of the American spirit. For example, in "GG Madman", which is a model of men's clothing, those GG elites almost all wear Brooks Brothers. In "The Great Gatsby", the gorgeous suits worn by Leonardo were designed by Brooks Brothers.

In short, this is a suit store that is old enough and fashionable enough. In addition, this brand has always had a handmade store, which can be regarded as a tribute, but the disadvantage is - expensive!

This store will not have a large crowd of people. In fact, most of the time, this store is deserted... There is no other reason, just one word - expensive! Most people who wear Brooks Brothers still habitually buy ready-made clothes, of course, ready-made clothes are not cheap.

But the price of hand-made customization is a bit crazy, and the reason why this store is still open is more to maintain its status. It does not receive ordinary customers. For example, if you come in casually and want to order, the clerk inside will ask your name in a toga, then look at the VIP list, then shake her head and tell you. This place only serves people on the list.

It does not rely on sales to make money at all. Its existence is just to tell others that this brand is noble... In fact, it is a kind of marketing method. It is very simple to get on their VIP list. Spend money, spend a lot of money, buy every single item, new product, and various limited editions of it, which is a bit like those companies that sell sports cars.

It just highlights that you have to spend more money!

But Morgan doesn't have this trouble. He orders a private suit every year. It is a VIP among VIPs.

So private customization is very simple. Show your gold card, and then a few old men and a few young ladies will come out to give everyone the most distinguished service!

Ladies are no exception, with the development of the times. Ladies can also order suits.

But there was a little problem with Hank the Beast.

He was tall and had long hair all over his body, and the hair was blue.

This gave the old tailors in the store a great challenge... or the senior suit designers. They had never done this kind of work. But this made the old tailors excited. If the suits they designed were good, it would be a perfect promotion. Look, a beast can become a gentleman wearing our suits!

It's exciting just to think about it!

Then a group of people served him.

This made the beast very uneasy. He felt like a piece of fat surrounded by a group of vicious dogs... That feeling made his beast instinct very uneasy.

In the end, the store manager made the decision. It was really rude for a group of people to surround his customers. Then she... Yes, the store manager is a young lady, a very beautiful one. A young lady who can be the store manager in such a store can't be an ordinary person at all. A high degree is just the basic, and she also needs high emotional intelligence.

There are also requirements for appearance.

So a pretty girl took the beast to measure his body data...in a separate room.

People outside didn't think anything was wrong at first...but soon there was a burst of exclamation from the single room. This was nothing, everyone thought the store manager was frightened by the beast.

But soon this exclamation was replaced by the cry of the beast: "No! Don't take off my clothes!"

I feel like a helpless little girl facing a perverted pervert.

Then Hank's words became intermittent, and then changed to a female voice. The female voice had no specific sentences, but was replaced by a series of annoying modal particles that could not be words, which made everyone very embarrassed!

Doing that in public is a part of play that young people like.

But such wild movements... are rare. At least it's rare in this store. After all, everyone here is either rich or noble, and everyone is ashamed.

"We..." The little naughty girl blushed.

'Ghost' John (the black man who can teleport) coughed: "I think we need a break."

After saying that, he looked at the clerk.

The clerk made arrangements immediately. Although it was embarrassing, they must be professional when facing customers.

Then they waited for two hours, and two girls couldn't help but go in to call for help, but they didn't come out at all.

…

When Hank and the others returned to the street, everyone looked at the beast differently.

The envious and jealous looks in the men's eyes could not be concealed at all, and the little naughty boy did not dare to look at Hank.

"Ahem, Hank, put your business card away. We still have some time to relax in New York, but I hope you can take a little care of your teammates during the next group activity." Morgan was actually very envious. Oh my god, three! When the three of them walked out, they were all holding on to their waists!

But it can be seen that they are very happy.

Morgan had never been this powerful when he was young... No, he had never been this powerful in his life.

If it weren't for the hair covering it up, Hank's face could probably be fried into an egg.

He wanted to say something, but didn't know how to describe it.

"No...no, I didn't take the initiative. I...she knocked me down as soon as she came up. I wanted to resist...but I was afraid of hurting her. Besides, they also...I struggled!"

McCoy was very troubled by this.

Those women are like crazy.

But others obviously don't believe it... What the hell, you said a woman knocked you down? You can overturn a ten-ton car by yourself, but you will be knocked down by a woman weighing more than a hundred pounds? What kind of hell joke is this?

In fact, it’s really not Hank’s fault. He doesn’t even know that he has stronger sensory abilities and can secrete pheromones to attract the opposite sex. He can also secrete a slight healing factor that can regenerate his small wounds. Of course, this kind of The healing factors can also act on other people if they are contaminated with his body fluids. Anyone infected with these self-healing factors can quickly recover from minor illnesses such as colds and regain their physical strength.

Otherwise, the girls really wouldn't be able to withstand the beast.

Of course Hank really didn't know.

After he became like this, he rarely had contact with girls.

Except for Little Naughty, Little Naughty is a black hole of supernatural powers. Apart from the fact that her mental power is useful to her, other powers are of no use to her.

Qiao looked at the noisy group of people with a smile on his face. He knew that these children had finally returned to the rhythm of rest.

They are not immortals like him. They will die soon anyway. They can rest as much as they want after death, but not these children. Their time is still very long, and they need to rest! Not everyone is a Morgan, and they can continue to do tasks. Look at Morgan... He is still alone after being decades old, that doesn't work!
