How did I become a villain

However, this may be the embodiment of her not being bound by ideas.As long as I don't care, no one can handle me.In fact, Sif also knew that Griffin refused because she had the strength to do so. If there was not enough deterrence, she would not even have the chance to refuse.

After realizing this, Sif actually felt a little envious.

"Why can't I laugh?" Griffin seemed to be enjoying herself. She looked at the female warrior beside her with bright eyes. "It's time to go home after staying outside for a long time."

Although the living environment here is superior to that on Earth, this is not home after all.The gold and silver nests are not as good as their own kennels, and Griffin is going back to his own kennels now.

"If you have any questions, please send someone to contact me, or come to Earth to find me yourself." Before parting, Griffin told Sif. "Goodbye, and give my regards to Thor and Loki."

Both brothers are not in Asgard because they want to inspect the Nine Realms and study viruses.

Griffin and them were not acquainted with each other before, but they were still far from the threshold of good friends. At best, they were comrades-in-arms and ordinary partners with a decent relationship.

Watching the girl disappear at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, Sif returned to the Golden Palace to report to the God King.

"She went back?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Odin asked again: "What did she say?"

Sif understood what the God King wanted to hear, but she shook her head. "She asked me to say hello to Thor and Loki for her."

The old man on the stairs was silent for a while, and he waved his hand to signal him to back down.

"Griffin is a good boy and a friend who can get along with him." Frigg said happily beside him. "But she rejected your gift, and it seems that she doesn't know what to do."

"That's because she has a higher pursuit." Odin said casually. "She said it herself."

Frigga didn't answer, but just looked at her husband from the sidelines.All the words of reassurance and comfort are in the eyes.

After Odin finished speaking, he seemed to have come to his senses. He shook his head again and again, shook Frigg's hand, and stopped mentioning the matter.

After returning to Earth, the time has come to the second half of the year.Griffin has been in Asgard for four days, and four months have passed on Earth.In August, which is about to enter the fall, S.H.I.E.L.D. welcomed back their director.

"Look, I said I'll be back soon." The girl spread her hands in front of Howard who greeted her. "Where's Sister Carter?"

"She asked for leave today to go to the hospital for an examination. Recently, your uncle and I are doing the work of two people alone." Howard said in his heart that you know your sister Carter, uncle, I will come to greet you in person, and I don't see you caring.

As if reading the other party's heart, Griffin turned to show a friendly smile. "Okay, then I really want to thank you, Uncle, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to welcome me back."

Why do these words feel so yin and yang?

Howard shook his head, putting aside this wonderful feeling, looking at the girl in a good mood, his mood seemed to improve.

"It seems that you have gained a lot from this journey?"

"Would you believe it if I told you that I negotiated hundreds of millions of technology with Asgard?"

"Really? I don't believe it." Howard shook his head again and again, but his expression was calm as if he believed it.This kid always has so many whimsical ideas, and he is not surprised if there is a successful transaction.

Volume 237.3: [-] Obadiah Needs a Clear Way

It was 1949, and money was worth money.

"Let me guess, this project was reached by you in private, right?" Howard pretended to think for a moment and gave his opinion. "Because if it were public, you'd mention Infinity Energy in passing."

Hearing this, the girl showed a slight embarrassment on her face, and she quickly recovered, with her gaze downward, which is a consistent manifestation of her guilty conscience.

"Okay, you guessed right, but there's no reward. To 'reward' you pierce the window paper."

Howard laughed instead. He didn't mind the reward at all, and said as if he had finally discovered some big news: "Haha, I didn't expect that selfless little girl to learn to hide money now? Let me Guess, are you planning to use it for future life planning? I mean... well, you know, that kind of planning?"

"You guessed wrong this time." The girl's eyes rolled back again.Because this money is not a dowry, but a bride price.

My wife is such a big dog, how can I not spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gas money when I go out?Not to mention if I can go to the universe in the future, my pocket money may not be enough to change my wife's clothes by then.

She only said that she guessed wrong, but did not announce the answer, which made Howard quite curious.You said you saved so much money and didn't use it. Why is that?For Germany?With Stark Group's comprehensive cooperation in Germany, you no longer need to send blood to Germany by remittance.

"I have something to tell you..." Howard said, putting aside this doubt for now. "Obadiah is back."

"What is he doing when he comes back? It's not time for the annual meeting summary yet, right?" After finishing speaking, she sorted out the time and seemed to understand a little bit.

Sure enough, I heard Howard say: "During the few months you left, the war situation there has changed again. Now even those who are least sensitive to the current situation have realized that there is no possibility of a comeback for the current regime. The distribution of interests in the Asian continent is facing a complete failure. He came back at this time, probably because he was worried that his business interests for many years there would be deprived by the new regime, so he came back to recruit soldiers, right?"

If you follow this line of thinking, Howard thinks that Obadiah came back late.As a businessman, his reaction was too slow. Could it be that the extravagant life there has made that shrewd guy lose his vigilance?

It’s not impossible for Obadiah to come back. As the stall gets bigger, the Stark Group will need more management talents. Although Obadiah always likes to get involved in the military industry, he is Howard’s friend for many years after all. It's better than using someone else you don't know well.With his ability to independently run a branch company outside the country for many years, it is appropriate for him to become a confidant in the management of the headquarters.

But Griffin thought of another way.Unlike Howard's guess that the other party "escaped" and came back to ask for help, Obadiah's return to the United States probably has other reasons.One must know that with the aura of this bald and fat man, how could he not foresee the situation in East Asia in advance?He has lived there for several years.

Seeing that the girl was silent, Howard said again: "But this is a problem with your Infinite Energy Company. You can't push this matter to me anymore, right?"

"What are you thinking, Uncle, you have enough business, why would I leave my business to you? That's not how cows and horses work."

Obadiah came back mostly to find herself, and it happened that she also wanted to hear the other party's intentions.

"You still have a conscience...why am I so awkward listening to this?" Howard's joyful expression gradually changed.

Without giving him a chance to take a closer look, Griffin found a reasonable reason to meet the bald and fat man and slipped away.

Seeing Obadiah again after almost a year, the masculinity in this impression is actually different from before.How should I put it... the person is still the same person, the appearance is still burly and fat, but it just gives people a change in spirit.This kind of change may not be very obvious, but a subtle feeling that has been increased and changed under the comparison of the inherent impression in the past.

"Long time no see, Uncle Stanislav. You look more stable than the last time I saw you." The two sat down, and Griffin put his hands on the armrest of the sofa and raised one leg, in a comfortable but majestic enough way The gesture first opened the topic. "What made you choose to return to the United States?"

These words faintly sounded as if he was saying that he abandoned the front line command at a critical moment and fled back.As she established S.H.I.E.L.D. and was favored by the leaders of alien civilizations protecting the earth, she became more and more important to the earth, and the majesty and sense of power she brought to people became more and more serious.Every time they met, Obadiah didn't dare to slack off or show too casually. Sometimes he felt that meeting the emperor was nothing more than that, right?

Hearing Griffin's inquiry, Obadiah restrained his thoughts and said: "Before I describe the reasons for my return, please believe that I did not escape out of fear."

I didn't think so.If it is because of this, it would be too disappointing.

"You said so, of course I don't think so." Griffin first stated that he had no such intention, and signaled the other party to relax. "It must be very important for you to come back for an interview in person."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Obadiah always feels that the subtext of the other party is saying "If what you said later is not important, then I will think about it in that direction."

"Of course." Obadiah moved his butt unconsciously, straightened his suit and said, "As you expected, I came here for an important matter..."

Having said that, he paused, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "The old regime has completely collapsed, but I have contacted the next family through some special methods in advance. After nearly a year cooperation, and now the two parties are getting along quite happily. But I always feel... a little uneasy in my heart."

Talking like this makes the two seem to be plotting something. Given the current wave of repelling communism that is gradually beginning to appear in various places in the United States, Griffin is not incomprehensible.

But what about the worries behind?That doesn't sound like the kind of thing you'd say to someone who's always been shrewd and capable.Are you trying to tell me that you want me to show you the way?Although I also have a little understanding of the current situation in Asia, it is not as intuitive as when you stay there all year round.

And it always feels a little strange for me to be an adult to point out the way out for you who are about to turn [-].

Volume 237.4: [-] I promise you can make a comeback

"First of all, I didn't blame you for your private tandem behavior. Sending arms and supplies to the north is a tacit agreement we have reached at the beginning. If that happens, I will also guarantee your current status while giving You arrange it in the right place." After thinking for a while, Griffin began to appease Obadiah, who was starting to feel a little uneasy, she said frankly. "Now that the local war is coming to an end and you have their approval, why do you have anything to worry about?"

"Well..." Mentioning this matter, Obadiah hesitated again.He didn't know how to explain his concerns to Griffin.After all, a man in his late thirties asked for help from a young girl in his twenties, which made Obadiah, who was a bit machismo, feel a little embarrassed.

Although, he has been ridiculed by this little girl countless times.

Although my butler Zhou repeatedly told him that the new regime would not cool the hearts of those who have meritorious deeds, when he thought that the branch company he originally controlled would be nationalized in the future, even though he would still be under the auspices of a "chief executive" Title, but it also made him a little uncomfortable.

It's like seeing the child I've raised for many years calling someone else a father, and this father himself can't afford to provoke him in any aspect, no matter in terms of strength or status.

Then the girl suddenly asked: "What you are really worried about is that you are afraid that all the assets of the branch company will be confiscated, and you will settle the score after the fall, right?"

This is so straightforward!

Embarrassment flashed across Obadiah's face.Of course, this is also one aspect, but it is not the main problem.

With the end of the war and the change of old and new regimes, although he can continue to hold important positions in the new government by virtue of his professional management experience and previous favors, but he is a straight-rooted American after all, and he is so incompatible with the red camp.If he doesn't want to be gradually marginalized in the future, he has to carry out a deeper bond, and even join it...

It was the most daring response he could think of.

Even though the new regime may not do such a thing of killing donkeys, Obadiah has to think about his future.

In fact, analyzing Obadiah's mentality can also be understood. He has put in too much effort in the China branch, to the point where it is no longer possible to start anew.Japan's Unlimited Energy branch is already under construction by Amberson Osborne, and Obadiah has already lost the lead, and it is unlikely to intervene if there is no change in the future.

Now that the Osborne family has become the actual controller of the Japanese economy, if Obadiah's investment in China fails, will he still go to Japan to seek refuge with Amberson, or go there to compete with him for territory?

Of course, he can also choose to go to South Korea. There is no unlimited energy company here, and it seems to be a good virgin land.But don't forget that the surface of this peninsula is now calm, but it has actually become the front line of the game between the two camps.The red and blue sides deploy troops on this chessboard, so that he will not be confused at this time, running from an area that has become peaceful to an area that is about to be war-torn.

Or, he can also choose to go south to Southeast Asia and make a comeback in the Philippines, the sphere of influence of the United States, but even if he has the courage to start from the heart, he still has to face the question of whether he can get the full support of the company's president, Griffin.

"Thinking in the worst direction, what you're really worried about is that your power will be restricted, right?" Noticing the change in Obadiah's face, the girl who realized that she had guessed right couldn't help but sigh inwardly. A "slave of power" who will cling to power to the death.

"Let me make it clear here that if you lose the branch in China, not only will I not punish you, but I will also send you to other places that suit you. You can make a comeback without losing your current status. If you choose to stay local, then you are mentally prepared to lose most of your power, which may not be a bad thing."

"Unless...you have other options."

She chose to throw Obadiah to Asia because of her considerations. The purpose was to leave a foundation for the development of the motherland in her previous life. As for whether Obadiah would continue to work for the new regime after that or be exonerated Accounts, that's not her concern.That's right, Griffin made Obadia Adam a tool that can be used and thrown away at the beginning.

But as time went by, the girl saw that Obadiah put a lot of effort and energy into this job. Although she was using him at the beginning, she saw that the other party was working so hard, even though his original intention was different from her own. It's completely different, but it still makes Griffin admire him, and feels that he can't chill the other party's heart.

So in the future, she has been influencing the other party's thoughts and actions, and finally came to today under her own induction.

Griffin has always been a kind girl, and she is also a nostalgic person. Obadiah has been working in Asia for nearly four years under pressure, and has turned a little-known branch of Infinite Energy into a company no less than the US headquarters. An enterprise, even a leader in new energy in the entire Asian region, can compete with the headquarters in its existence, and it has hard work as well as credit.

For Griffin, Obadiah has perfectly fulfilled his strategic goals and layout in Asia, and even if he is really exiled in the end, she will not ignore him.

Obadiah couldn't help being moved by this honesty, and he seemed to let go of a lot of worries because of it.At least he got the capital to make a comeback.

However, he is not willing to give up his interests in China and start over in other regions.That was just the last choice in desperation, but Obadiah would not choose to leave if he still had some chips in his hand.Although Griffin's guarantee could not completely solve his immediate problem, it also brought some comfort to this man.

The chairman still knows what I have done for the company...

Of course, if he is willing to reveal all his concerns, maybe Griffin will have a solution, but Obadiah is still embarrassed to expose his inner secrets to the other party.After all, the choice he has to make is so rebellious in the eyes of the West, but in order to keep power, he will not hesitate to do so when necessary.

Besides, the leaders of the new regime aren't that hard to get to...

If you really want to lose the original right to say nothing, then before you lose it, you have to find a way to sell it for a good price.For a successful and daring businessman, nothing is impossible to buy and sell, including, of course, power.

After going back, I have to have a good talk with Zhou Zai.

Volume 238: [-] Asia and Europe

After thinking it over clearly, Obadiah expressed his great gratitude to Griffin for his generosity and good use of people. Griffin can see through the eyes of the other party that he is indeed sincere and sincere, and the meeting was held in a relaxed atmosphere. is over.

But the girl was still a little upset.

This bald man, he had already made it so clear, yet he still didn't want to reveal his concerns to himself.

What the hell is he thinking?

"By the way, there is one more thing..." Before leaving, Obadiah thought of another thing belatedly. "In the future, wars in Asia may not subside so quickly, not only because of the surrender of the old regime, but also threats from further north. The main purpose of my return this time is also to ask for some more resources from the headquarters."

Although the land and resources of big countries are abundant, their utilization rate is very low. Once the peninsula falls into war, it will face military blockade and economic sanctions, and the deployment of materials will be even more difficult.

He needs to plan for the future.

It is impossible to abandon the interests of major Asian countries. According to Obadiah’s keen sense of locality, he found that the Red Alliance in the north does not seem to care much about the new regime in his country. The control and assistance from the North is obviously a deliberate attempt to isolate China.

So he had a premonition that East Asia would not be peaceful in the future, and war might even break out.And I will take this opportunity to show my talents again.In terms of practical operation, no one knows how to turn infinite energy into ammunition better than me.

Simply put, he wants to use his power to curry favor with the new regime and sell himself for a good price.

Leaving aside what Obadiah has grasped, the United States is also vigilant and worried about the Soviet Union's strengthening of North Korea's power, but they are currently trying to solve the problem through diplomatic channels.

It’s just that this effort may not have any substantial effect in Obadiah’s view. The Soviet Union is not a good opponent. Given that Japan has obtained new energy construction and resumed its vitality, they cannot be wronged by the United States in Asia. The rapid development of military bases remains indifferent.Even if it is not because of the realignment of interests in China, they will turn their attention to the Far East.

Is that what you were aiming for?

Hearing the "secret" revealed by the other party, Griffin did not show any surprise.Apparently she'd been tricked by this bald guy into making big promises, and now he's making extra demands of himself.Asking for benefits from himself twice in a row, and only Obadiah has the guts to do this business.

Considering the current situation in Asia, he did not do it all for himself.The girl just thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the headquarters will give you all the help you need. If you have any ideas, just go ahead and do it."

"With your words, I feel relieved." Obadiah was relieved.Of course, it was impossible for him to think of Griffin's true intentions, and he was only so generous as her compensation for him.

Now that his own interests have been bound to the new regime, out of interest considerations and political demands, he has exerted a strong subjective initiative.

Although this is a selfish behavior, it is also in the girl's arms, and she has no reason to refuse.

War is cruel, especially for the side without the support of new energy technology.Now, the United States, which will participate in the war in the future, already has this technology, and Japanese factories are also producing it. I heard that MacArthur is very concerned about this thing and is very concerned about the situation on the peninsula. As a hardliner, he has been Encourage Truman to increase troops, hoping to use a war to test the effect.

In terms of mentality, he is indeed an egomaniac who doesn't know how much he cares about himself.

I hope Obadiah will not let himself down, his task is quite heavy, maybe he is content with it.In view of the fact that this plane's own intrusion has caused a certain deviation in the world, she can only regard this bald man as if he stepped on the brakes severely.But in other words, once he succeeds, his status in the Asian business and political circles will not be shaken in a short time.

Optimistically, if this war ends in the defeat of the United States, their enthusiasm for the militarization of new energy technologies will also drop, right?Oh, by the way, with the addition of a five-star emperor, his career has come to an end.

Having received the promise and guarantee, Obadiah immediately set off to the warehouse of Infinite Energy Company to pick up the goods on demand.

Griffin then took time out to handle some company affairs.

After returning to Europe, Schneider followed Griffin's instructions. He dressed himself as a successful philanthropist, and used the reason of hosting war orphans to search for children born in the Fountain of Life project across Europe.Because of the list he provided, he was able to find many nursery homes that had been used to accommodate these children in the name of charity, but many institutions still disappeared due to various reasons.

In the summary report given every quarter, one or two thousand children have been found and taken in by him one after another, but this number is really a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Spring of Life project.In the process, Schneider also gradually grasped some previously unknown truths, which prompted him to pay more attention to this job.But time has erased too many traces of the past, and we can only find and contain them little by little in a slow and steady manner.
