“Tony…so unlucky.
Tricks like this kind of moral kidnapping have emerged in endlessly in recent years. The era that Kai traveled through was even more magical, and those guys downstairs are nowhere near where they are now.
"It's not that serious. As long as we ignore them, these guys will naturally disperse in a few days." At most, Pepper only found these guys a bit annoying, but it couldn't be called a trouble. After all, no matter how troubled this country is, its owners are capitalists. Although those people screamed happily, in fact, it was because neither Tony nor Pepper took them seriously. Once they made trouble, the public relations department would naturally be dispatched. Public opinion? Oh, public opinion is always just a plaything of capital.
"Really?"
"Recently, the rotating chairman of the Black African Union came to New York to give a speech at the United Nations. It seems that he also wants to accuse Aquaman of the casualties caused overseas. These people got wind of the news, so they started making trouble." When Pepper said this, Kai understood .
Black Americans and Black Africans have always been two species. Although black Americans like to make excuses for black people all over the world, in fact they are the ones who look down on Africans the most. If you don’t believe it, look at the small African country of Liberia. This small country is a black country established by black Americans who were sent to Africa by white Americans. Others were stunned to create a group of black Americans... who were de facto aristocrats and exploited the local indigenous blacks as slaves.
In short, you must not take what Nico said seriously. Kai was not a racist before and had no special views on black people. He was not from Guangzhou. But after coming to the United States, he saw too much. It is undeniable that it is unwise to make generalizations. But the problem is, if you read more, you will find out who is the "partial" and who is the "full". There are not many black people who work honestly and live their lives, but there are many black people who are just messing around!
Just like Saji, he obviously has black skin, but he never admits that he is black. He and his family consider themselves Asians, and in terms of blood, they are indeed from the Asian continent.
In short, you must not expect too much from those Nicos.
Are these people really fighting for their black brothers who are thousands of miles away?
The answer is no!
Everything is driven by interests. In the past, 80% of the black people marching outside knew the president of the black African Union. It was unknown whether they even knew about this alliance. They just saw this wave of enthusiasm. So-called affirmative action organizations also need to be exposed, otherwise how would they gain visibility? If there is no publicity, how can there be various financial support? As for those who followed the booing, many of them were just joining in the fun, releasing their violent desires that they usually dare not release, and buying them for zero yuan.
"Black African Union? What is that?" Kai had never heard of this organization.
"you do not know?"
"Famous?"
"It's not bad. It is an international alliance mainly composed of sub-Saharan African countries. The main members are black countries."
"Oh." It was clear as soon as he said it. But Kai doubted whether that thing was useful. Because not many purely black countries can be independent. For example, France has always been criticized on the Internet. Despite all the ridicule, France still controls many African countries. Now many African countries still use the CFA franc. Africa, franc, you will know it as soon as you hear it. What's going on. Not only that, France is also the country with the second most military bases abroad after the United States. Is it surprising? Where are those military bases? Of course in Africa.
So although France is looked down upon in various ways, in fact it is still a de facto colonial empire. It is a quite unique country among modern countries.
In this case, what is the use of this black African Union? It doesn’t depend on dad’s mood.
Seeing Kai's disapproval, Pepper didn't say much. Because she thinks so too.
What is the King of Wakanda... Listen, a chief came to the United Nations General Assembly to talk about human rights and equality. Isn't this funny?
Only those African Americans are excited.
While the two were chatting, Tony walked out in a bathrobe. He wiped his hair with a towel and asked, "What are you talking about?"
“Talk about those people down there.
Tony took a casual look and was stunned.
"Why are there so many random people in front of my building?"
As he spoke, he looked at Pepper.
"Because of the Neptune thing... I remember telling you."
"Really?" Tony thought for a while and felt that he had no impression. But since there is no impression, it means it is not important. Since it is not important, then there is no need to care about it: "Forget it, we have to inform the public relations department and get it done as soon as possible. These guys, this is Stark Tower, not a place where these unemployed guys can cause trouble."
You can't expect a capitalist to have any empathy for a bunch of homeless people.
Even if he is a superhero.
Hearing Tony's words, Pepper nodded, indicating that she understood.
"By the way, I need you to take out that artifact again. I need to do a few more tests. Otherwise, I'm not sure whether it will work. After all, you know, that thing is different from anything I have encountered before. Everything is different.”
Speaking of this, Tony became excited again.
Seeing Tony like this, Pepper couldn't help it anymore: "What are you talking about?"
"Psychic transmission device!" Tony said casually without hiding anything from Pepper.
Kai gave Tony a hard look!
Tony, however, acted as if nothing had happened, and instead turned the tables: "What does it matter? Pepper is not an outsider anyway. Don't you trust her?"
Pepper looked at Kai.
Kai was as steady as an old dog: "This is not a question of trust or not. The fewer people who know about this, the better."
"No, I just think that Pepper will know about this anyway."
Kai was just about to ask why, but immediately thought of Tony, the bastard, who would definitely tell Pepper when he was not around. There was no way, Tony, the playboy, was like a tofu in the sauce when he met Pepper, and there was always something to conquer something. I don't know if it was because he had done too many evil things in his first half of his life, so God arranged for him to have a woman who could hold him tightly.
Thinking of this, Kai said bitterly: "If I had known, I would have gone to find Bruce Banner."
"Hehe, then you really think too much, now Banner has gone to work for the Shadow Bureau. He is considered our enemy."
Kai was completely speechless. Indeed, it was really difficult for Kai to find Bruce Banner for this kind of thing. Not being familiar with him was one thing, and Bruce Banner now worked for the Shadow Bureau and was considered to be a government official. This kind of thing was too sensitive, and Kai was not willing to let the government know too much.
"Okay, here's what happened."
Kai told Pepper his thoughts.
Although the inner world is dangerous, due to the existence of Camelot City, it is undoubtedly an excellent choice for a secret base. Putting the secret base there can basically isolate everyone from prying eyes, and even the wizard can't peek into the secrets inside.
That's right, the wizard can't do anything.
Ancient One said a long time ago that after repairing the spell node of the Great Guardian, all the wizards of Kamar-Taj will withdraw from the inner world and never go back. Ancient One's idea is very simple, that is, the immortals did not share the secret of the center of the earth with the first generation of Supreme Sorcerer Agamotto, and they naturally had their reasons.
After all, mages are very curious creatures. It's okay if they haven't discovered the center of the earth. Once they find it, they can't help but study it. The mages of Kamar-Taj may be extremely pure in material life, but the pursuit of knowledge will never stop.
It's not that there have been no mages in history who fell into darkness because of the pursuit of knowledge. The magic dome of the center of the earth is said to be strong, and it is indeed very strong. It can withstand the mantle pressure of the entire earth. That's a joke. But if it is fragile, it is also quite fragile. That place is equivalent to the core processor of the great guardian. If a mage really wants to destroy it, it is not that difficult.
So in order to protect the center of the earth, Ancient One decided a long time ago that once the repair is completed, all mages will be forced to exit the center of the earth. As for entering again... the entrance program of the center of the earth that Ancient One has modified, no mage can enter the center of the earth through the vortex.
The only one who can help the mage enter the inner world is Kai.
Or rather, the Poseidon Trident in Kai's hand.
Remember the Titans in the inner world rioted collectively that day?
It was also at that time that the riot occurred, and a chain reaction occurred. The Poseidon Trident hidden in the inner ocean was awakened and finally came out.
That is the key to the outside world!
With the trident, you can teleport to any place in the surface world.
Kai doesn't know what this mechanism is. Anyway, the Poseidon Trident didn't have this function before. Maybe the immortals added it to Poseidon later?
As a divine weapon, the Poseidon Trident is of course very powerful, at least much stronger than the Neptune Trident. But the problem is that this thing is not of high value to Kai, after all, he has no shortage of divine weapons. In addition to the ability to teleport.
But then again, this teleportation ability is only for the holder, which is quite tasteless.
That's why Kai wanted to find the smartest person on Earth to help him create a teleportation technology based on the Poseidon Trident, so that the inner world can become a strategic rear.
You can also find someone from Ancient One, but the things she made can only be used by mages, and the application range is too small.
Pepper was stunned. She didn't expect Kai to be so bold.
"Are you planning to form the most mysterious agent organization in the world?"
Tony nodded: "Yes, SHIELD is not trustworthy. And we can't really do everything. So Kai and I decided to form a brand new agent organization, a truly neutral agent organization independent of all countries in the world!"
Tony seemed very excited.
His father formed SHIELD. If he can form an organization that is more powerful than SHIELD, doesn't it mean that he is more powerful than his father?
Think about how awesome this organization is.
The backbone is composed of Kingsman's super agents, plus the Wayne Consortium and the Stark Group, the financial strength of the two consortiums, plus Tony Stark's scientific research ability, and Kamar-Taj as a magic support. Finally, there is a strategic rear of the Earth's core that no one can reach except them. It is difficult for such an organization not to take off!
So Tony is very enthusiastic about this matter.
Kai shrugged and agreed with this. After all, SHIELD is really not doing well. It's not enough that its butt is crooked. Its style is also like that of the United States, and it does things without regard for the consequences. What's more, Kai discovered a long time ago that there seemed to be something hidden inside SHIELD.
For example, the word he said when he contacted the Indian agent of SHIELD in order to help Wade, the chatterbox, get information from Ajax last time.
Hydra.
Kai didn't have a very direct impression of Hydra, but he also knew that it was a villain during World War II. This made people feel vigilant.
So even if it was to prevent the problem from happening, Kai felt that there was no harm in forming an agent organization.
As for the name, it was still Kingsman, no need to be so troublesome.
"Take out the Poseidon Trident quickly, I'll use the instrument here to test it carefully!" Tony said impatiently.
Pepper also looked forward to it. The dragon bone that Kai took out before made Pepper amazed. So she was quite looking forward to it, especially the showy look of Aquaman holding Neptune's Trident. She especially wanted to see what Poseidon's Trident looked like.
Kai had no choice but to take out Poseidon's Trident.
Boom!
When the Poseidon Trident was taken out, the whole room was shrouded in a blue light, and the light surged rhythmically like the waves, and even the sound of the sea tide could be faintly heard! The Trident of Poseidon itself is golden, radiant, and simple in style. In the center of the trident, there is a huge sapphire. The sapphire seems to contain endless storms and constantly emits light.
Between the three golden forks, golden lightning keeps jumping.
"Wow!" Pepper doesn't know what power is. Her first feeling is... this thing is too beautiful!
Tony immediately rushed up and snatched the trident!
Pepper ran away with envy.
Kai pouted, and finally could only shout loudly: "You test it, don't be like S.H.I.E.L.D., I don't want the whole New York to be submerged by the sea!"
The last time the trident was messed with, it was the last emperor of the Atlantis Empire, and the whole Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea.
"I know! Who do you think I am? I'm Tony Stark!"
...
After Kai returned to his job, George ran over with a smile: "Oh my God, you're finally back."
"What's wrong?"
"I have to take a vacation!"
Kai was stunned: "Then take a vacation."
George was confused by Kai's attitude.
"Really?"
"When did I not allow you to take a vacation?" Kai asked strangely. This is American imperialism. He can uphold justice because of his personality, but he doesn't have to exploit others for the sake of the American empire. Besides, Kai basically handed over the affairs of the entire police station to George. If he wants to take a vacation, he can just approve it himself. At most, he can ask Kai to sign it.
"You..."
George was choked by this explanation. Is this human language? In recent months, Kai has been mysterious and always away from the police station. He has handed all the affairs to him. In this case, can he just take a vacation?
Instead, he is busier than before.
Of course, George himself enjoyed it very much. Which deputy was as happy as him? He controlled the power of the entire police station, and he was more like a chief than the official chief.
Although he was not obsessed with power, who didn't love power?
However, the consequence of doing so was that his family was very dissatisfied with it.
He had not taken a vacation for three consecutive years!
Even if his family understood the nature of his work, it was too hard. It has been said before that American police are just a profession, similar to security guards and bodyguards. Going to get off work on time is a normal requirement, unlike the people's police, who have a sense of mission.
For example, this time, his baby daughter was going to participate in the National High School Knowledge Competition! And since she made it to the finals, he had to participate, so he mustered up the courage to run to Kai to ask for leave.
"Gwen is going to participate in the NAQT finals?" Kai was still quite surprised by the news. "Congratulations."
NAQT, the full name of which is the National Academic Quiz Tournament, is the National High School Knowledge Competition. NAQT is the most valuable, with the largest number of participating schools and the largest scale of activities in the world. The history of the quiz can be traced back to 1953. The world's top universities invest a lot of money every year to support students to participate in the competition. The project has gradually become a cultural tradition and is known as the academic Super Bowl.
There are more than 40,000 students in the high school level every year. The scope of NAQT covers eleven types of academic knowledge that students need to master, from mathematics, history, to popular culture. The annual NAQT global championship finals (there are six levels including junior high school, high school, and college) can be called the academic Olympics.
The significance of reaching the finals in such a competition is self-evident. Many outstanding contestants can receive invitations from various prestigious universities without even waiting to graduate from high school.
If Gwen can win the award, then basically all the famous universities in the United States will be on the same track! Full scholarships. American universities are very expensive, but if you are a truly outstanding student, those universities will not only not charge fees, but also give money!
If the full scholarship just mentioned actually refers to a fellowship, a fellowship is a non-service scholarship with the highest amount but the most intense competition. In addition to being exempted from tuition, accommodation, insurance, and book fees, the Fellowship also gives the winning student a certain amount of money for personal expenses, and it is tax-free! That’s right, you get money to spend!
Anyway, George's financial situation means he can't pay for college in full, and their family has many children. If Wenger can get a full scholarship, not only will he not have to spend money to go to college, he will also be able to make money! (Many public universities in the United States do not charge tuition, but do you think public universities are cheap? On the contrary, in addition to tuition fees, universities charge many other items, and the total amount is also a sad figure. Anyway, no matter what All universities are very, very expensive! After all, education is a business in the United States.)
In short, this is a very important moment for Wenger himself and their entire family.
The Chinese may be the nation that values education the most in the entire world. Of course, Kai will support this kind of thing!
"Where will the final be held this time? I can give you a few more days off."
Kai asked thoughtfully. The venue for NAQT is different every time, but generally speaking, the venue is not a bad place, either a big city or a place with beautiful scenery. After all, with financial support from so many famous colleges and universities, NAQT is not short of money.
George looked at Kai with a strange look on his face: "How much do you care about the outside world? You're in New York! It's already the finals!"
Kai was confused. He really didn't pay attention.
It’s not Kai’s fault.
Competitions like NAQT are grand. But also for those good schools, the universality is quite different.
Educational polarization in the United States is as severe as class divisions.
Most American colleges and universities promote so-called "quality education," which is what everyone calls happy education. As for what the result will be, everyone knows it. Education and other things have almost been forgotten, only happiness is left, and happiness is all!
And truly good schools promote elite education!
Competitions like NAQT are destined to be competitions among top universities, and those scumbags from Happy Education basically have no chance. In this way, the attention will naturally be smaller.
As a result, Kai basically doesn't care.
After the colleges and universities in each state passed the brutal qualifying competition, six teams from each state participated. Then he came to New York and experienced brutal fighting. Today, there are only two colleges and universities left.
They're all from New York.
They are Trinity High School and Midtown High School.
Holy Trinity High School, the best high school in the United States. It is also the best aristocratic school in the United States. Of course, the corresponding tuition fees are also terrifyingly high. Those who can study there are basically either rich or noble. The financial elite on Wall Street like to send their children there. Because Trinity High School's business, law, arts and design courses are among the best in the United States.
Although Midtown High School is also one of the top high schools in the United States, it is still far behind Trinity.
If they can defeat Holy Trinity and win the championship, then those participating students from Midtown High School will be able to leave their names in school history, and their photos can be hung in the school's honor room.
No wonder George was so nervous.
"The competition is tomorrow, right? I'll give you three days off! If you win the championship, I'll give you three more days to celebrate with Gwen! I'll cover all the expenses!"
In Kai's mind, this kind of thing is roughly equivalent to the imperial examination, and six days off is not excessive.
"Speaking of Midtown High School... I remember that boy Peter seems to be from that high school, right?"
Kay remembered that Peter and Gwen were classmates.
"That's right, there is Peter in the team this time." George had an impression of Peter. After all, he often followed his daughter around, acting like he was trying to win over her. It was hard for him not to notice.
"What a coincidence." Kai smiled: "In that case, I will join in the fun tomorrow. Help them!"
Naturally, it was impossible for George to disagree. After all, this is the big benefactor. He was still worried about how to celebrate. It's too ordinary, a little too shabby, but it's a big deal after all. But it’s too grand, and we must also consider practical issues.
But with Kai's promise, there is no need to worry, it can be done!
