How did I become a villain

At this time, Jarvis entered the house from outside the door with a potted plant in his arms. "Mr. Stark, this is the palm sapling you ordered in Haiti..."

The playboy who was holding his breath pointed to the grass outside the villa and said, "Carry it to the grass outside and find a suitable place to plant it. I can use it to cool off in the future. Thank you, Jarvis."

The tall and thin man who had just stepped into the room with half a foot had to stop. Although he didn't know what happened, his keen senses as a pilot sensed the subtle changes in the air, and he said "Okay, sir." Quickly retreated the same way.

The door closed, and the room fell into silence.

"Are you angry?" Griffin looked at the other party for a while, then suddenly said.

"No."

"is it?"

"Yes."

"But how do I feel..."

"There is something wrong with your feeling." Howard picked up the book on the table and started to flip through it.This is usually distracting behavior.

This man really cares a lot, I don't understand, how could I be so open-minded as a boy before?Or are Neptunes so conceited?

"Oh." Griffin got up and went back to the house.

Uncle is angry, if he doesn't run away at this time, why should he comfort him?Who is the child?

Since the end of the round-the-world visit, perhaps because she saw her pioneering and exemplary role in the development of global trade in the United States and the so-called nomination certificate, Truman let go of her control. Griffin no longer has to live in the Strategic Science Corps Inside, out of semi-surveillance status.But still have to report from time to time, now she is probably the youngest employee in the legion.

When the girl was about to go to the appointment at night, she saw Howard appearing in the living room with a relaxed and happy expression.Thinking about it, the time this man held his grudge was about the same as the goldfish's memory.

"Actually, you can change to another skirt." Looking at the girl playing with her long blonde hair, Howard seriously suggested. "Trust your uncle in my pursuit of aesthetics."

As she grows older, Griffin's stature is also growing steadily, especially her legs are longer, which improves the proportion of the whole body and has the potential to be a model.

However, for some unknown reason, this girl always spends more time wearing trousers than skirts. She can obviously make herself more beautiful, but she doesn't.Moreover, the maintenance of the skin is far less delicate than those women he knows. You must know that the most precious youth of a woman is before the age of 28, especially for European and American women.

Don't pay attention to nursing now, and see if you cry in the future.

Volume 187: [-] You didn't get married because of me?

"I don't want to steal the limelight from the protagonist at other people's coming-of-age ceremony." said the girl who twisted her hair with her fingers. "At that time, all those men will ask me to dance, and I don't have so much time to socialize."

"I understand, I understand, your entertainment is serious business. You are always instilling various great plans for the future development of mankind to the people around you." Howard laughed. "However, have you thought about yourself? In my eyes, you are about to become a workaholic. Even the original workaholic Carter is not as good as you."

It’s okay to work during working hours, but you have to work overtime after working hours. Your behavior will set a bad start for the entire industry.

What's up with the workaholics, isn't this the favorite battery model for you capitalists?The biological CPU and so on, Gundam has already made such a statement.

The girl squinted.

I do what I like, not for you.

"Aliens have already come to Earth, Uncle. We don't have time to develop." Can we all have a sense of urgency?Having said that, Griffin also understands that this group of earthlings who have not yet been bombarded by alien orbital cannons can not be expected to understand this sense of crisis, and she turns to the business. "About the Rockefeller family, what's your opinion, Uncle? Do we want to cooperate with such an established consortium?"

Howard thought for a moment and gave his opinion.

"You once said that the dispute between new and old energy sources is a life-and-death contest, but as a member of the vested interests of the vast number of old energy sources, my opinion is that old energy sources are not so easy to be replaced. It is impossible in the short term, and in the long run Time... This time is long enough. Before we can actually do it, we should try our best to unite all possible forces in the hostile camp. After all, in terms of strength, you can indeed crush all of them. As long as you want, directly Physical destruction of them is a breeze."

"But eliminating opponents is simple and rude, but it is easy to start a bad start. When facing all problems in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is not negotiation, but a violent solution." Griffin understood what he wanted to express, and she knew it herself pros and cons. "I can use violence today, and so can others tomorrow. The energy of the infinite rough stone is not invincible. It is hard to say that there will not be someone more powerful than me. At that time, it will be him who will be physically eliminated today, and it may be my turn tomorrow." .”

"I'm glad you can think so." Howard approved with a smile on his face. "I'm telling you this, not to tell you not to use violence. We can use violence when necessary, but it is the last resort to be activated when all conventional methods have been used and proved to be ineffective."

Why are those companies willing to accept new energy control so obedient?Her god-like force is one aspect, and more importantly, she is willing to reason with them and insist on persuading opponents with the truth.

If this is still incomprehensible, let me give you a simple example. Would you rather be forced to sign a contract with a gun, or would you sign it willingly?

"You have been trying to make me think in a human way. I understand. From my own experience, I understand the value of human nature and the struggle of the weak in the face of despair. I am not the kind of person who has obtained extraordinary power I will lose my state of mind after that, and although your attempts to make me maintain my humanity are a little redundant in my opinion, I will not refuse this kindness."

How can I say that I am also a refined and easy-going person, as long as the bottom line is not touched, then of course hello, me, everyone.

Hearing this, Howard couldn't help laughing. "Haha, after all, I am your guardian in the legal sense. Before you are full, whether you want to or not, I will have to chatter a little more. After all, you let me experience the feeling of an old father taking care of his daughter."

This man is no longer satisfied with being my uncle, now he still wants to be my father.

Ah, so it turns out that the reason why you don't want to get married is because of me?You don't want to get married now because you started parenting early?

How can this work, how come you don't marry Tony Stark?He is the beginning and C position of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, the true soul.

Griffin, who was just talking about it, saw him talking like this, but this time he really started to think seriously about Howard's life.

Located on the estate of the Rockefeller family in New York City.

Allowing the children to play freely in the courtyard, John, the eldest son of the Rockefeller family, led the two to his study and poured a glass for each of them in person.

"I'm glad you can come." The future head of the family first welcomed the arrival of the two, mainly Griffin.

Since the last family meeting, after finally discussing the resolution that the two parties should be in competition and could turn into hostility at any time, in the face of the real manipulator behind the old energy, the Wall Street consortium, that is, the white glove of the Freemasonry, expressly hinted, Unable to stop John, he chose to respond negatively.

But just after Griffin succeeded in a series of diplomacy in Asia, the bigwigs behind her conducted a new round of evaluation of her actions in Japan. This time they finally decided to suspend their actions against her and new energy. This is not only because of her resolute means, but also because new energy has formed a closed loop on a global scale.Under her proposal, various countries in America, Europe, and Asia have temporarily established a loose alliance.

Of course, the more important reason is that this can bring greater profits to the Freemasons under the control of the Jewish consortium.

From the current point of view, it is very risky to choose to forcibly implement the plan against her against the wishes of the majority of people-even though those big shots don't really care about the wishes of the majority of people, and the suspension of the plan may not be without other dirtier ideas.

There are actually differences within the Freemasonry that really controls the power of the United States. Except for one person who insists that she should be eliminated, other members hold the mentality of "join if you can't beat it". Choose whether it should replace it after it grows internally.

This is also the consistent routine of the Freemasons, or Jewish capitalists.

So moderates like John were reused again.But how could he not understand the real intention behind the other party's change of attitude?The problem is that he can't tell her directly the purpose of the Freemasonry. The Rockefeller family is also a member of the Freemasonry. In other words, the top financial groups in the United States have an inexplicable relationship with the Freemasonry. What he said is too clear. , is a betrayal of all.

The price of betrayal is severe.

Not being able to tell Griffin the truth made John feel so distressed that he was a little absent-minded at his daughter's bar mitzvah.

Volume 188.1: [-] It's not shameful to join if you can't beat it

Looking at the young girl in front of him, John couldn't help thinking that his daughter was only about the same age as her.Now he wants to deceive this girl who is as old as his own daughter.

"Your expression looks insincere, John." Howard was the first to break the awkward silence. "Don't tell me that the big guys on Wall Street finally sent you, a weakling, to give us an ultimatum."

"Why can't it be me?" John put aside his thoughts for a while, and asked with a twist of his mouth. "How should I put it, I'm also a member of the world's top family..."

And what I'm about to say next isn't what you'd think of as an ultimatum.

Howard hit him unceremoniously: "But not everyone cares about your family background."

He also took a special look at the girl sitting next to him.

The two men, who were more than ten years apart, looked at each other for a while, and finally John flinched.

"Let's get down to business." He coughed lightly.Said in a gentle voice: "We have heard about your efforts around the world. There is no irreconcilable contradiction between the old and new energy sources. The Rockefeller family is not your enemy. We should work for the common ideals and goals of mankind. Struggle. As a family that occupies a pivotal position in the old energy, my father asked me to ask Your Excellency, what price will the Rockefeller family pay to board the world cruise ship of new energy?"

Howard stopped drinking, his eyes widened.

I haven't heard of it?Are you giving in?Almost instinctively, the man realized that something was wrong, that there must be some kind of conspiracy.Compared with Standard Oil, the Stark Group is far inferior in terms of strength and background. If the two parties cooperate, he has never heard that the weak can resist the strong and can not be manipulated by it.

He decided to cheat the other party.

"Your expression has betrayed you, John. Seeing that infinite energy is about to open up in the world market, I want to join in and pick up ready-made ones. How can there be such a good thing?"

Things that anyone with a discerning eye can see, your eating looks are too ugly.

"It doesn't make sense to say that." John glanced at the junior.He's shy, but that doesn't mean he's easy to bully. "As early as two years ago, the Rockefeller family expressed their desire to cooperate with you. At that time, neither the Stark Corporation nor the new energy plan had reached the scale it is today, right? How can we say that we want to take advantage of you now? Woolen cloth?"

The original cooperation intention was strongly recommended by Lawrence, which is enough to prove his vision.It's a pity that the other party was too vigilant about him, so he didn't have a chance to cooperate.

"At that time, you were Standard Oil, the largest energy company in the United States and even the world. We were just newcomers. Now you are still a world giant, and Stark Industries is still weak despite the layout." Howard spread his hands. "I don't feel like our status has changed."

Without giving John a chance to speak, he added another sentence. "What's more, the energy core has already been handed over, two pieces, and energy can also be extracted from there. As long as an application is submitted to the US government, why not get attention with the volume of standard oil?"

This preemption did not interrupt John's train of thought.

"Stark, do you think the government will agree to our application with Standard Oil's current size?"

We control the oil trade in the United States, which allows us to set prices at will. If we get the blessing of new energy, there is no doubt that we will become an even more terrifying industry giant.While I have my own allegiance to the United States, others may not.

"Of course not." Howard shook his head. "But you don't really want me to believe that you don't have your own agenda?"

That's why you approached her in person, wanting to transfer some of her benefits in the name of cooperation?Is it also to express to the government that he supports the new energy plan?I'm not saying that if you plan to show your loyalty to the government, you should still go through formal channels, even if you are still rejected in the end, but on the bright side, others will not be able to find fault.

Now you are trying to bypass the official and reach a treaty with us, so you are not afraid of being liquidated for such a "going alone" behavior?And it also puts us in a passive position.

Howard began to regret coming here today.Perhaps, as the other party said, their cooperation should have been earlier.

"The biggest advantage of infinite energy is that no matter what kind of old energy it is added to, it can improve the efficiency of energy use. It can be used as a mixture or purified separately." John did not answer Howard's question, he looked at the griffin. "You are blurring the boundaries between old and new energy sources. Otherwise, you would not release the energy core to the world. Can I understand that this is an opportunity for mutual cooperation?"

I disclosed the energy core only to prevent Germany from being dismembered. Of course, if you understand it this way, I have no objection.

"I don't deny the possibility you raised. But I want to ask first, is the entire Rockefeller family and New Energy fully cooperating, or is it just you as the eldest son?"

"does it matter?"

"Of course it is related." Before I can confirm that our federation will not bring trouble and sanctions, I need to be cautious.And as Howard was worried about, making a wedding dress for others cannot happen to himself. "It's about the direction of the decision."

"What if it's the whole Rockefeller family, what if it's just me?"

"Of course there is nothing to say about the former. The official will make our cooperation not so easy. In addition, the size of Standard Oil cooperates with Infinite Energy. Although I am young, I am not stupid. It doesn't work for me. Don't rush to argue, I believe in your character, but I don't believe in the character of others. Human nature is the most vulnerable thing." Griffin said. "If it's just you and you control the Standard Oil share, of course I welcome it."

That way, at least on the surface, it would be less irritating to the government.Griffin doesn't have much affection for the US government, he just doesn't want to affect his big plan because of this matter.

John fell into silence with a sullen face. After a long time, his expression relaxed, and a bitter yet genuine smile appeared on his face. "You are so cautious."

"It is because I am cautious that I am alive today." Griffin also responded with a smile.

She can also be bold when necessary.

I just heard John say: "You should know my character. Others may be malicious towards you, but I won't. I always think that whether it is for Standard Oil or my family, we have no unresolved hatred. .We are businessmen, not soldiers, nor politicians. We are businessmen who do business. There is no reason to have one more competitor for no reason. Especially...you who have infinite rough stones."

Volume 188.2: [-] The Last Short Board

"But your concerns are not unreasonable. New energy does have a very promising prospect. As an old energy source, if we choose to cooperate with you at this time, it will indeed make the officials nervous."

After all, new energy is the main energy system of the United States. They intend to let new energy gradually replace old energy, or at least let the two coexist.In this way, due to the pressure of survival, new and old energy sources will move closer to the official in order to strive for their own profits.

John understands that this is a means of checks and balances. As a philanthropist who does not have much desire for power, he does not reject it.

"Actually, I'm quite curious. Don't you worry about being regarded as a betrayal by other consortiums when you propose cooperation?" Griffin did not follow the conversation, but found another way. "Don't say that we really reached some agreement, even if we didn't, when I entered this room, the message sent by my behavior to the outside world would not be that simple."

I don't believe that you didn't ventilate beforehand.Their current communication here will not only make the US government nervous, but also make the old energy faction nervous.

"There are indeed concerns in this regard, but those who can sit in this seat will never be so easily deceived by appearances." John said. "We're all sane."

The girl nodded repeatedly. "So, Your Excellency is their 'test'? If we do reach an agreement, no matter what it is, others will follow up, right?"

John's expression flashed unnaturally, and he sat up with his hands supporting his body. "This is normal behavior."

Griffin was relentless, and she continued to chase.

"Then can I understand it this way: There is a conspiracy brewing against me, and whether it will be launched depends on the result of my negotiations with you?"

How else would I convince myself of this paradoxical behavior?If you apply for joint research and development of the energy core because you are afraid of being suppressed by the U.S. government if you are too powerful, then if you choose to cooperate with me directly, you still cannot rule out the risk?New energy is not a shield.

Are you inspired by some government officials, or recommended by your peers?No matter which one it is, Griffin has reason to believe that a conspiracy is brewing against herself and the new energy, and her choice will be related to the final direction of this conspiracy.

Where did you get your sixth sense?Persecuted delusional?

John's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know whether the other party had really noticed something or hit the right button, and these words did cause him to panic.

The conspiracy must have existed, but after time passed and fermented, there were several revisions in the middle, and he did receive instructions from his father before the conspiracy was launched, and temporarily persuaded the strong fifth brother.Otherwise they wouldn't be sitting here today.

But in all fairness, John has never regarded Infinite Energy and the Stark Group as life and death enemies.He is a benevolent heir to a family who believes in peace.

"I have to admit, you think a little too much." John smiled wryly. "The things you do around the world, you don't expect those who suffer losses to be indifferent, do you? I don't want to hide it from you. Wall Street giants are afraid of your expansion, but reasonable people still believe that we can coexist peacefully. "

Speaking of Wall Street giants, isn't your family one of them?

"It's mainly the energy core that made them see this." Griffin nodded.

"But you have to reassure them," John continued. "The most direct and effective way is to cooperate with old and new energy sources."

As a veteran capitalist, the use of old energy sources such as coal and oil has almost been developed.Although there are occasional new discoveries, the overall benefit is a flat trend year by year.This industry is gradually entering a stagnant state, and it will be difficult to revitalize it without external force injection.It was originally thought that nuclear energy could change all this, but the emergence of unlimited energy has further made the giants who mastered the old energy see more.

They need the injection of new energy represented by unlimited energy, and new energy also needs to be integrated and promoted, because old energy holds most of the world's resources.

"The cooperation you are talking about is to let the new energy be added to the old energy system as an additive?" the girl asked back.She already knew what the other person was thinking. "But what I want is to make new energy an independent high-efficiency energy. This is a question of who dominates and who has more proportion of integration."

What I’m thinking about now is just using unlimited energy for fuel production, and I haven’t told you about the chemical uses of old energy. Can this part of new energy be mixed in?

According to the optimal ratio of new energy that she found in the laboratory with the power of thinking, infinite energy must account for at least [-]% to be considered new energy, and then it is just additives in various proportions.

And why do I have to cooperate with you?The world needs a competition between new and old energies, competition, and a hundred flowers blooming instead of monopoly and old energies.If I choose to join you, how should I respond to the expectations of some people?
