Marvel's King of the Undead

Chapter 259 Cause and Effect
Back to a week ago,
After Wayne entered the portal and successfully detonated the nuclear bomb.

The president and government officials hiding in front of the screen immediately cheered, as if he had won the election again. While cheering, the president secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

You must know that he is also one of the people who do not want New York to be bombed. If New York is really bombed, he may never hope to be in politics again in his life. The people who scold him can circle the world.

Just after wiping off his sweat, just as the president was about to hold a press conference and began to preach the important role he played in this battle, the phone rang suddenly.

It was not the White House landline, but his personal phone, which was moved to a relatively hidden location, and the president connected the phone secretly.

"Hey Pierce, what's the matter?"

The caller was Alexander Pierce. The President of the United States knew the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and is now active in the Security Council, but he was not familiar with him, so he was a little strange about the sudden call.

especially,
The timing of the call made him subconsciously alert in his heart.

"Hey, Mr. President, first of all congratulations on winning this war."

Pierce's false laughter came from there, making the president frown.

"Thank you, do you have anything to do? If not, there is still a lot of work to be done on my side."

"Of course, if it's okay, I won't bother you.

Now you have become the first president of the United States to defeat aliens. Such brilliant achievements have made you very prominent among previous presidents.

but,

Do you want to be more brilliant? "

Pierce's tone was very sincere, as if he was really thinking about the president.

"think."

The president hesitated for a moment, and said.

at this time,

He has reached the pinnacle of his life, but human nature is always greedy, especially those with ambitions. After climbing to a peak, what they think of is not to stop, but how to climb to another peak.

"I now have another merit for you,
even,

Many details and arrangements have been made for you, you just need to agree and express the government's opinion on the media.

then,

You can become a president unsurpassed in American history. "

"what exactly is it?"

The president was a little moved,

He already has both money and power, and the only thing that can make his heart beat faster now is fame.

"Is the credit for eliminating the mutants enough?"

Pierce is like a treacherous fox at this time, seducing the president step by step.

"impossible!"

The president subconsciously refused, saying that the issue of mutants is a big controversy all over the world, but recently domestic public opinion has tended to accept mutants.

Although there is a piece of cake in front of him that everyone wants to taste, but the cautious president does not want to shoot himself in the foot at his most glorious time.

"Oh?"

Pierce's tone changed suddenly, and he became aggressive:

"Is Mr. President worried about public opinion? We have already solved this problem for you. As long as you agree, domestic public opinion will immediately turn around.

and,

Have you thought about the consequences of rejection? "

"Are you threatening me?"

The president's eyes narrowed. After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he is not a soft persimmon, otherwise he would not be the president.

"Of course not, I'm just a small person walking between the Security Council and S.H.I.E.L.D. How could I do such a thing.

but,

If Mr. President refuses, I will only announce that you agreed to drop the nuclear bomb on New York at that time. How will those people think of you?

Or,

Will the American people continue to accept that a president who values ​​life as nothing will continue to lead them? "

"damn it!"

The president clenched the phone tightly and couldn't help but swear:
"This matter was approved by the Security Council, and it is a joint decision of several permanent countries!"

"Yes, I understand that it was the best choice under the circumstances at the time, and it was a feat to sacrifice a small number of people to save the entire planet.

but,

Can the American people understand it?

Even if they know that this is a joint decision of the presidents of several countries, will they go to the President of the United Kingdom or the President of France to vent their emotions?

And, can you really tolerate this group of superhuman beings detaching themselves from the law?
I still suggest that you think carefully and say, Mr. President, I am not in a hurry, and I am just waiting for your reply. "

finished,

The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, but did not hang up.

The hand holding the phone hangs down feebly, and the president suddenly realizes that his back has already been wet before he knows it. Leaning against the cold wall, the anxiety in the president's heart has not been relieved.

"damn it,

What should I do. "

The president crouched down,

Due to the remote location, no one else here can see the president's weakness.

a long time,

The president finally put the phone to his ear again, and the torment in his heart made his hand holding the phone tremble.

"Hey?"

The president's impotence seeped across the line.

"Have you figured it out? Mr. President?"

Pierce laughed, seemingly unfazed by the president's refusal.

"Even if I agree, it's impossible for you to really drive out the mutants. You guys can't do it."

Over the years, there have been voices targeting mutants within the government, but after careful investigation, this proposal has not been adopted because it is too difficult and almost impossible to realize.

"You don't need to worry about this. Several other members of the Security Council have agreed to our plan."

"You threatened so many people at once? What kind of organization is behind you? It is impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to have such great energy!"

The president's eyes widened, and he suddenly discovered that this matter was more complicated than he had imagined, and the energy of this organization hiding in the dark was much greater than he had imagined.

"This can't be disclosed. Do you agree? If you agree, someone will pass the information to you next."

There was another silence,
at last,

After a long time, the President finally said slowly:

"it is good."

Just as he put down the phone, before he could wipe off the sweat from his face, a voice suddenly startled the president.

"Your Excellency, what's the matter with you?"

The person who spoke was the president's aide, and he was a little surprised to see the president's exhausted expression.

"fine."

The president breathed a sigh of relief and said to his staff, "Help me hold a press conference. I have something important to announce."

"Ok."

After receiving the order, the staff immediately turned around and left. Her neat style was one of the reasons why she became the staff.

3 hours later,

The president stood in front of dozens of well-known media with the information handed to him by a stranger just now.

"Just this morning, a group of brutal aliens suddenly broke the tranquility of the earth, they used advanced weapons to destroy our homeland wantonly.
Although we repelled them, it does not mean that we can continue to survive in safety from now on.

Although we have been exposed to foreign aggression, there are more dangerous existences threatening our lives.
Just now,

After investigation, we got a shocking news. "

The president's complexion was a little strange, he took off his eyes and wiped them indiscriminately, took a deep breath and continued:

"The invasion of Earth by aliens was not an accident, but the cause of it all, mutants!"

finished,

The president's expression slowly returned to normal, he raised his hand, and said with a hint of indignation:
"We treat them as fellow citizens, but they have been secretly doing things that threaten all mankind,
Therefore,
I declare,
Starting today, the United States will officially start the plan to clean up the mutants! "
