Nolan isn't stupid. General Ross's words clearly indicate his dissatisfaction with him, and even suggest he might be targeting him.

“I remember that every citizen has their own legal rights. What do you mean by that, sir?”

General Ross did not answer, but instead said in vain:

"1 million, ten units."

His voice was calm, but there was no room for negotiation.

"This is impossible."

Nolan flatly refused.

Although this guy gave a price, he was clearly trying to extort money from us.

Let alone the last quote, even if he built such a Thor's Hammer himself, the cost would be more than 100 million.

“Mr. Locke, I hope you can understand the military’s situation. This is already a very reasonable price.”

General Ross was still speaking when Nolan coldly interrupted:

"General, if I agree to this request, it would bankrupt my newly developed Locke Technology. If you insist on demanding it, then let your army do the talking!"

After saying that, Nolan said indifferently:

"Go slowly, don't send me away!"

After saying that, Nolan turned and left.

Want to get rid of nothing?

Just dream.

As for what would happen if he offended General Ross, he didn't care much.

The government is not ruled by one person alone.

And if we really push him too far, we can just make a scene; the world is so big, there's nowhere he can't go.

He came to this universe to make money.

If he agrees to General Ross's request today, and the Department of Defense comes looking for him tomorrow, should he give in? If the Security Council comes looking for him, should he respond?

General Ross's advantage lay in the fact that he had no roots or connections in this land.

But for Nolan Locke, he had only one thought at this moment: Locke Technology was his, and anyone who dared to touch it would have their claws chopped off!

Seeing Nolan Locke leave directly, General Ross's face turned ashen.

He was prepared for Nolan Locke to refuse, and in that case, he would appropriately increase his offer.

He had only one goal in mind: to make Nolan Locke bleed today, and at the same time, to give the military the power to deal with these superpowered individuals.

But now!

Nolan Locke didn't take him seriously at all.

"Nolan Locke!"

General Ross's gaze was cold.

"Since you dare to do this, then be prepared to bear the consequences!"

While the Hulk is important, Nolan Rock is now considered even more important than the Hulk in his eyes.

No, if he could get his hands on Locke Technology, the future... is simply unimaginable!

By this time, Nolan had already returned to the villa.

As the Thor's Hammer armor was removed, Nolan's body was spotless.

"Your ability is really useful."

Susan said enviously.

She didn't know how powerful Nolan's abilities were, but every time she used them, the filth on her body would disappear.

If she could, she really wanted to swap abilities with Nolan.

After expressing her envy, Susan poured Nolan a glass of water.

"Nolan, I saw you arguing with General Ross?"

Although Susan didn't go out, she was keeping an eye on what was happening outside.

Nolan's abilities surprised her, but his argument with General Ross made her somewhat worried.

"General Ross is a powerful general in the military, and Locke Technology is a military-industrial enterprise. If we offend him, Locke Technology will be in big trouble."

Nolan said helplessly:

"Of course I know that, but he has crossed my line. If I leave him room to maneuver, there will be even more trouble in the future."

As for matters related to military industry, he doesn't have the final say in that matter within the military.

Although Nolan provided an explanation, Susan was still somewhat worried.

After Nolan explained, he suddenly spoke again:

"At worst, we can just withdraw from the military industry. For Locke Technology now, the military is no longer a necessity."

Now that Susan is his girlfriend, and given her competence, Nolan naturally made her his secretary. That's why Susan is somewhat worried about the falling out between Nolan and General Ross.

"That would be too much of a loss..."

Susan was helpless.

She refused to believe there was no room for reconciliation between the two sides.

It's obvious that Nolan didn't want to put up with this.

However, although she knew this, she didn't say it out loud. At a time like this, if she didn't stand up for her man, why would she speak up for someone else?

Her eyes were filled with adoration.

Even if her man loses the military industry, he will definitely not be bad off.

This is her confidence.

The reason is simple: Nolan is a genius!

Nolan certainly didn't take it to heart.

But soon, General Ross proved Nolan wrong.

Just a week later, he was preparing to sign a cooperation agreement with the Navy regarding the Terminator, but on the eve of the signing, the Navy suddenly issued a notice that the cooperation was temporarily terminated and the signing time would be discussed at another time.

Upon hearing this news, Nolan's breathing suddenly became slightly heavier.

The navy actually stood him up.

They had been negotiating this agreement for a long time, and after confirming that everything was in order, the production line began production ahead of schedule.

Because many people are seeking cooperation with him, even without the navy, the army, air force, police, and even some private forces have expressed interest in cooperating.

Nolan suddenly felt uneasy.

The very next day, news came from the Air Force that all cooperation was canceled.

As for the army, General Ross was an army general, and even the navy and air force canceled their cooperation, let alone the army.

Nolan's face was grim.

Without the military, other special departments, and private companies, it's simply impossible for them to take over the Terminators he produces.

Most importantly, this means that he has indeed lost his say in the military industry.

Without cooperation from the military, what kind of military industrial enterprise can it be?

This had a huge impact on him.

"Damn it!"

Nolan couldn't help but curse under his breath.

This was the first time he had ever felt stifled in this world.

This has never happened in the main universe!

Nolan was affected, but General Ross continued to travel around.

His goal was not only to kick Lockheed Martin out of the military industry, but more importantly, he wanted to nationalize Lockheed Martin.

This is a bold attempt.

In this capitalist country, such an operation has never been performed before.

He could easily imagine how much resistance this would encounter.

Even members of Congress, and even in the White House, almost everyone has capital behind them.

No capital would allow this door to be opened.

Even if Nolan Locke is not accepted by anyone in the capital group, once this door is opened, it is very likely to lead to a situation where everyone is in danger.

General Ross entered the large conference room.

Inside are the president and other powerful figures in the White House system.

"General Ross, I have seen your proposal. Do you know what doing so would mean?"

The president sat upright, watching General Ross speak.

"Of course, only in this way can we avoid threats. The size of LKK Technology has exceeded everyone's imagination."

Furthermore, I have already detailed Locke Technology's current capital and development potential in the report.

The president nodded.

“I have read the report, but you should know that the right to freedom is sacred and inviolable, and such actions could plunge the future of the entire country into crisis.”

"Freedom is sacred and inviolable, but at the same time, every citizen has an obligation to contribute to the country, something Nolan Locke was completely unable to do."

Then, he spoke meaningfully:

"Your Excellency, gentlemen, if this continues, Locke Technology will inevitably take control of the entire country, not only economically, but also potentially in terms of conventional military force."

Most importantly, Locke Technology is absolutely controlled by one person…
