I, the native, do as I please

Chapter 83 Charming Night

At the helicopter take-off and landing platform, Edgar sighed as he watched the scene of Maeve being suppressed by the 'Black Maharaja' armor on the car screen in front of him.

He picked up his mobile phone and used the dedicated channel within the group of seven to contact people from his homeland.

Originally, he hoped that Maeve and Starlight would cooperate to successfully rescue Arnold, so that the deal with the Ministry of Defense could be completed.

But unexpectedly, Arnold has been taken out of the Empire State Building, but Maeve is suppressed by a new battle armor, and it seems that there is no chance of winning.

This made Edgar have to contact the people of the motherland.

There was a whistling wind on the phone, and Edgar then heard the voice of the motherlander: "Tell me what's going on, I'm watching a play, oh, Maeve seems to be losing soon."

The muscles on the black president's face twitched slightly.

Damn!

This arrogant bastard really didn't leave!
He is still watching the fun!

Edgar took a deep breath to calm down the irritability in his heart, and then said: "Manhattan is in trouble now, it's time to show our advantages and image."

"If you can solve this trouble, I believe our company's shares will rise significantly."

"I'm willing to give you 10% of the shares, what do you think?"

On the phone, Edgar heard the people from the motherland laugh: "If I want the shares of Water Company, why don't I kill you and take all the shares away, wouldn't I earn more?"

Edgar's back turned cold when he heard it, but he still smiled calmly: "With all due respect, I should have more experience than you in running a company."

He thought he would hear a sneer or ridicule, but unexpectedly, after two seconds of silence, the motherlander said, "It makes sense."

But this made Edgar even more nervous, because the motherlander was not as crazy as he looked.

The black president tentatively said, "Then you agreed?"

However, the people from the motherland said: "Why should I agree? Using 10% of the shares of Water Company just wants me to obey orders."

"Edgar, I'm not that cheap."

This bastard!

Edgar wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "20%?"

"not enough."

"In other words, you are not qualified to participate in such a big event tonight."

After leaving this sentence, the communication was interrupted.

Edgar's expression was dull. He has been in business for many years, and now he has managed Walter Company as the most profitable enterprise in the world.

But today, people say 'not qualified'?
"This damn"

Edgar pinched the phone, and at this moment, his phone rang.

The Secretary of Defense called.

Near the Empire State Building.

Two red beams swept across the ground, hitting Maeve and pushing her out.

Maeve was covered with scars at the moment, and the gladiator-like battle suit on her body was severely damaged.

She hasn't been this embarrassed since she became a superhero.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped her mouth, and was about to rush up again.

But I saw Mr. Z wearing the 'Black Maharaja' armor floating into the air.

"I'm tired of playing."

"In addition, your actions should be authorized by the Federation, right?"

"Those filthy guys want to get their hands on 'Number Zero' too, there's no door!"

Mr. Z said loudly: "Since the Federation ignores my warning, then tonight, Manhattan will become history!"

While speaking, far away from Times Square, a 'Raptor' battle armor came to the launch pad of 'Earthshaker', inputting commands and emitting signals.

After a while, Maeve felt the ground start to shake.

'Earthshaker' is on again!
The earthquake started again.

On Manhattan Island, people felt their bodies shaking. The windows of nearby high-rise buildings continued to burst and shatter, and debris crashed down.

On the street, cracks cracked open on the pavement, and dust spewed out from inside. At the same time, pipes ruptured, spraying jets of water into the air.

The earth gradually shook, and the island of Manhattan was like a small boat on the raging sea, shaking involuntarily following the shaking of the ground.

bang.

Finally, in Times Square, a shopping mall building spewed out thick smoke, flickered with electric fire, and was cut off at the middle. Half of the building fell heavily to the ground, breaking into ruins weighing tens of thousands of tons.

On the ports or private docks around the island, there are ships trying to escape from the island, but they are constantly attacked by 'deep-sea murlocs'.

From the sky, we can see many boats burning and sinking on the vast river, and many people who fell into the water wearing life buoys screamed and cried in panic in the undulating river water.

Thick smoke began to rise from Manhattan, and this small island seemed to usher in the end of the world.

There were cries and cries for help everywhere.

Azu watched this scene indifferently.

Even yawned.

"Why so slow."

Azu believed that after he rejected Edgar's request, bigger fish would take the bait.

Judging from the current situation, if we don't release weapons of mass destruction, there is nothing we can do with those armors.

But it is impossible for the Federation to do such a thing on its own soil.

So they have only one choice.

That is yourself.

Homelanders!
Just when Azu saw the dust and smoke rising from the collapse of the Arc de Triomphe, his communicator rang again.

"Hello, Homelander."

"I'm Wilson, Wilson Brown."

Azuha said: "Good evening, Mr. Minister."

Of course he knew who Wilson was.

Originally, he thought that what he was waiting for would be a call from the Department of Homeland Security.

Unexpectedly, it was their leader who contacted him.

Secretary of Defense Wilson Brown!

"Long story short."

"I'm sure you already know what's going on in Manhattan."

"Mr. Z has activated Earthshaker. I admit that we have no way to deal with this crisis."

"And Mr. Edgar told me he had no authority over you."

"So I thought, can you fight for the Union? Fight for justice?"

"Can you solve this crisis yourself?"

Old fox!
One is both!
Federation and justice have nothing to do with me, Azu.

Azu smiled and said, "Of course I would, but unfortunately, I'm just a commoner flying around in a cloak."

"I don't think I deserve the honor of fighting for the Commonwealth."

There was silence on the communicator for several seconds.

Then the Minister of Defense smiled and said: "In the management and administration department of the Federal Ministry of Defense, the position of Minister of Superhuman Supervision and the rank of Colonel of the Federal Army can make you famous?"

The corner of Azu's mouth raised, and he said, "It sounds good. If you add the shares promised by Mr. Edgar just now, I think there will be enough motivation to do this."

The Minister of Defense said 'hmm': "I can agree to your request for Mr. Edgar."

"is it?"

"Mr. Minister must also think that 20% of the shares is still a little less, and I think 30% is almost the same. What do you think?" Azu said with a charming smile.
