Every group has its own unspoken rules, and there is a fixed number on who will be on top and who will be on the bottom.
Now a man came to him and said, Sir, please help me, I want a place among you.
laugh--
Stern held the cigarette in his hand and nodded in the air, "Unless you can give me a reason that I can't refuse."
Hearing this, Justin laughed, as if he had been prepared for it, "Okay, okay."
He waved his hand, and Baron Hammer, who was standing behind him, came forward without saying a word and reached inside his black suit to take out...
A check for twenty-five million.
Justin took the check, looked at it, and pressed it on the table.
He looked Stern in the eyes and slowly pushed the check toward him.
"This... after it's done, there's more. Who says we can't be family? You can turn me from an outsider into an insider."
Stern took a look and said indifferently, "Not enough..."
The empty room fell into deathly silence for a moment.
The greedy wolf...
Justin frowned in embarrassment, and quickly forced a greasy smile onto his face which was covered with perfume.
"Don't worry, don't worry. And... I can leave the produced Iron Man suit to you. You can give it to whoever you want... and use it however you want."
For Justin, this is a big risk, which means that he has no say in this cooperation and plays the role of a hardworking worker. At the same time, he has to bear all the uncontrollable responsibilities brought about by the abuse of the product.
For ordinary politicians, this is also a big bargaining chip, enough to make people's heart beat. He can use the right to use these products to gain more benefits from other people, other politicians, or the military - benefits that are more valuable than money.
As for Stern, this is also what he wants...or what Hydra wants.
He is not just a politician.
In addition to technology, Hydra also needs a stable logistics factory.
It would be best if this factory didn’t care about anything and knew nothing, but it must have an identity that was recognized by society and the government.
This way, if something goes wrong, they can shirk responsibility and put an end to it all - those people in Hydra would be bored if they don't cause trouble for a day.
It would always be a good idea to have more of these stupid companies that work for you in peacetime and take the blame for you in wartime.
After hearing what he wanted to hear, Stern finally stood up. His flabby old face showed the same warm smile as when they first met ten minutes ago.
"Haha, happy cooperation, Mr. Hammer."
"Pleasant to work with."
The two hands were clasped together and shaken, symbolizing the firm, unbreakable friendship between Justin and Stern.
The sky is clear and the sea is vast, the sun is shining in the sky, the wild geese are flying in the distance, and the whales are roaring in the ocean... There is no chaos in America today, and it is also a day of peace and friendship.
Chapter 61. Wishful thinking!
In the early morning, the sound of waves lingers in the ears of the sleeping people, and the bright sunshine shines into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains, bringing orange warmth.
A delicate fragrance silently envelopes the sleeping person, and a slight itching sensation is felt on the face.
The slime twisted his body uncomfortably and changed his posture. However, someone was not going to let him go, and a strand of hair playfully lifted from his cheek to his neck.
Slime was forced to open his sleepy eyes. A beautiful face was right in front of him, and a pair of lake blue eyes stared at him without blinking.
He reached out his hand, groped upwards, then pinched something soft and smooth, and asked in a daze.
"What are you doing?"
Alice blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes were like dragonfly wings, and her eyes were full of innocence.
She stammered because her cheek was pinched.
"Because Master... is very nice today... I can't help but want to admire him from a closer distance."
Time...how much time has passed?
Probably two or three months, Lai Mu couldn’t remember clearly.
During this period of time, Lai Mu finally lived the lazy and leisurely life of his dreams. He lived in a large villa with his beloved Great Sage (forced to add) and Alice, where no one would disturb him. Every day, he ate, slept, and played.
Everyone wants to be lazy and relaxed, right?
One day in the middle, Alice went to school. Then she had to live in the school, and only on Saturdays and Sundays could she return to this place dozens of kilometers away to stay for two days.
In this way, Lai Mu, who was alone, lived a life with his day and night reversed, even going without sleep for several days and nights, or sleeping for several days and nights.
Snacks, games, movies, TV series... What can stop a slime from falling?
The answer is no.
The more alone you are, the more likely you are to lose control.
If he hadn't been woken up by Alice's trick, he wouldn't have known that today was the weekend. He had planned to sleep for another ten hours.
Slime stretched and yawned deeply. His light blue hair fluttered in the morning breeze, revealing his fair and slender neck.
"Okay, you go out first, I need to change my clothes."
One second, two seconds...Alice stood there quietly.
"Why don't you leave?"
Alice raised an index finger and tapped her chin coquettishly, as if she really didn't understand anything. "Because today's work is done, will it bother you if I stay here?"
She was wearing a black maid outfit, slightly more conservative than her previous one, but still eye-catching.
Slime is ashamed...
Alice is quite serious most of the time, but in this villa, she always has some bad intentions from time to time.
This experience of being able to look but not eat, and still being teased by the prey, is really not a very pleasant one.
He walked around behind Alice, pushed, pushed, pushed, and then slammed the door shut. The world became quiet...
However, the world did not become as peaceful as he wished...
"Master? Master? Do you really not want me to help you change your clothes?"
Alice's soft cry came through the wooden door persistently, like a little hand tickling her ear.
Lai Mu rolled his eyes, "Annoying!"
What's the point of talking without taking action? This woman is just flirting for fun. If you believe her, you lose.
It’s not like Slime didn’t believe it before.
He really believed it the first few times, but when he recalled it...
At that time, the woman stood by the bed and squinted her eyes and said, "Let me help you change your clothes."
Slime was a little shy and wanted to refuse, but in the end he couldn't resist his inner expectations and nodded, "Okay..."
but!
The woman said the next second, "You wish!"
She covered her mouth and laughed like a fox, then fled out of the bedroom with her clothes spinning like a butterfly.
...That's it, if you believe it, you lose.

in the living room.
When Lai Mu finished packing and walked in, Alice was watching TV.
A small fat cat was hiding in the corner of the sofa, playing with a wooden toy and making humming sounds.
The little fat baby, which was bred using cloning technology, was born more than half a month ago. Because of the use of technology, it developed faster. In the past few days, it has grown a coat of fluffy black and white short hair and started running around the living room.
Usually, Xiaopangda is taken care of by intelligent AI. Lai Mu will only remember that there is such a black and white cat at home when he wants to rub the cat... He doesn't like to do such troublesome things as taking care of cubs.
When Lai Mu passed by, he "accidentally" kicked the chubby toy aside, causing the baby to protest.
He sat down next to Alice and ate the breakfast sandwich Alice had prepared.
Alice rested her delicate little chin on her hand and watched him eat with a smile. She was very satisfied that her cooking skills were liked by the young master.
Yesterday was the opening day of the Stark Industries Expo in Flushing, New York, and a rerun was playing on TV.
The Stark on the screen is still as arrogant as ever... but in fact, he has restrained himself a lot.
Stark descended from the sky wearing the Iron Man suit as before, and invited a group of beautiful women to dance, but at least he did not let the dancers wear sexy shorts to cosplay Mark Armor.
It seems that the girlfriend's discipline does have some effect... For Stark, it is only a little bit.
Then, Tony Stark solemnly introduced his father Howard to the public.
"...We are not important. What is important is inheritance. What is important is what we can leave for the future."
Stark's opening remarks were full of energy and his words were convincing.
Lai Mu took a bite of the sandwich and drank half a cup of soy milk, feeling a little funny.
He knew very well how self-centered and arrogant Stark was. He actually said something like "I'm not important" just for an opening ceremony.
However, thinking about it the other way around, this is also an ominous sign. It means that Stark's physical condition may have reached a point where he is not optimistic, so he will place more hope on inheritance.
The current Ark reactor uses palladium as the reactive element.
In fact, palladium itself is not radioactive and generally does not cause harm to the human body. Even if eaten directly, palladium is difficult to be absorbed by the human stomach and intestines.
But intravenous injection is different. Palladium can directly cause heavy metal poisoning in the human body.
The effect of the reactor is similar to that of an intravenous injection, which spreads palladium atoms throughout the human body. If used frequently, it can reach a lethal dose within a few months.
Moreover, Stark's reactor was placed directly in his chest cavity and was in working mode 24 hours a day, which meant that palladium was being injected into his body every second. If he hadn't been drinking chlorophyll juice to detoxify, he would have died before now.
Then the screen content switched to a short video of several dozen seconds.
