Marvel's whitewashing cop, you want me to save the world?

Chapter 191 Extremist Virus

Lee returned to his chair in the New York City mayor's office and continued to be a ruthless stamping machine.

He had no idea how to use the Infinity Stones before.

They can't help with the development of spaceships; that's something Tony and Banner should worry about.

All he can do is continue to act as a link between the nations of the world.

Bind them tightly together, twist them into one rope, and direct all their strength in the same direction.

Heading into space.

The current space arms race is completely different from the Cold War era.

Back then, it was two superpowers racing rockets against each other, essentially vying for supremacy on Earth.

Things are different now.

Aliens have indeed visited; just a few days ago, the ruins of New York were still not completely cleared.

Prince Thor from Asgard also came and happily settled in with his girlfriend. I heard that he has now brought his parents over as well, saying it's for a "vacation".

As for Asgard—Thor patted his chest and assured him that the throne had now been handed over to Loki.

Loki will never again harbor any ill intentions towards Midgard and will be a very good king.

Li En neither confirmed nor denied it.

As long as Thor is still on Earth and considered one of their own, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

He looked down and flipped through the documents in his hand, his brows furrowing.

Too much.

He simply picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hello, is this Virginia? Do you have time to come to the mayor's office?"

"Yes, I'll be there soon."

About ten minutes later, Virginia Nelson pushed open the office door and walked in.

His face was filled with barely suppressed excitement as he strode to the table and spoke rapidly: "Li En, do you know?"

Recently, countless capitalists have wanted our Umbrella Corporation to go public.

Even the stock exchange sent people to ask, and if you nodded, the whole process was smooth sailing.

Judging from our current momentum, as soon as we go public, we will instantly become the world's most valuable company, even surpassing Stark Industries.

Of course, Stark already owned 10% of our shares, so with the increase in their share price, they don't lose out either.

Li En nodded, stood up from his chair, walked over to Virgil Nelson, and patted him on the shoulder.

The reason why so many people are scrambling to get a piece of the Umbrella Corporation is quite simple.

Dragon Blood Tablets have entered the full-scale mass production stage, with a total of one hundred production lines running day and night. The profit from this alone is enough to crush most of the so-called "giants" in the market.

Moreover, Umbrella also possesses Dragon Blood Potion Type I and Type II, which are things that money can't even buy.

He could guess exactly what those capitalists were up to.

As soon as the company goes public, they will sell everything they own and rush in to grab shares.

By becoming a shareholder, one has the opportunity to obtain the Dragon Blood Elixir, which can extend one's lifespan by decades or even hundreds of years.

Anyone can do the math.

Li En smiled at Virginia Nelson and said casually, "The company's IPO isn't urgent for now; there are more important issues to address."

He reached out and grabbed Virginia Nelson's forearm, half-pushing and half-pulling him to the mayor's office chair, then pressed down hard on his shoulders with both hands.

How could Virginia Nelson possibly outstretch her as much as Lee En?

He was forced to sit on that chair, and looked up at Li En with a blank expression.

"From this moment forward, you are the Secretary to the Mayor of New York City, with power equal to mine, and the right to inherit my political legacy."

If I win the election for Governor of New York in two years, you will be the next Mayor of New York City.

So—take this opportunity to get familiar with your work environment.

Virgil Nelson's mind went completely blank for a moment.

This man, who usually speaks faster than he thinks, now only had a few words repeating in his ears: Mayor of New York City, Governor of New York State, Secretary General, inheriting a political legacy.

When he finally came to his senses, he was the only one left in the office, with a mountain of unprocessed documents on his desk and a seal representing the authority of the mayor of New York City.

Virginia Nelson opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He glanced down at the mountain of documents, then at the seal, and remained silent for a moment.

In the end, he reached out and picked up a document, opened the cover, grabbed the stamp with his right hand, and slapped it down.

Li En stood outside the door for a while, and through the crack in the door he saw that Virginia Nelson did not resist, and did not even utter a single complaint.

He nodded in satisfaction and turned to walk outside.

As soon as he entered the lobby, the operator covered the microphone and shouted to him, "Mayor, Ms. Pepper, the general manager of Stark Industries, is calling to schedule a time to talk to you."

"Okay, tell her to meet at Big Daddy's Burger."

Li En waved his hand, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Pepper actually has his own private number.

However, her choice to contact me through the mayor's office indicates that today's discussion is on official business, not personal matters.

She has a very clear distinction between the two, which Li En has always admired.

At Big Daddy's Burger, Li En found a window seat, ordered a burger combo, and stuffed the burger into his mouth.

It has to be said that this burger joint, which survived the Chitauri invasion, doesn't taste particularly good, but you always crave it after a while if you don't eat it.

Ding-a-ling.

The doorbell rang twice, followed by the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor tiles as it approached.

Pepper walked straight over and sat down opposite Li En, then turned her head and called out towards the counter, "Package A."

Then she turned around, looked at the man in the suit following behind her, and added, "Killian, you should have one too. The burgers at this place are pretty good."

"Then I'll have an A set meal too." After ordering, the man named Killian sat down in the seat that Pepper had given up.

He looked at Li En across from him, who was eating a hamburger, gave him a standard business smile, and extended his hand: "Hello, Mayor Li En, I am Aldrich Killian, the head of Pioneer Technologies."

Li En opened her hand, which was covered in hamburger sauce, smiled at him, but didn't shake it. She simply said, "Hello, I'm Li En."

Killian was clearly taken aback.

He had done a lot of mental preparation before coming, and had prepared a whole set of words to deal with the "young iron-fisted mayor".

The man standing before me was the one who had fought his way in and out of the New York battlefield, crushing the Chitauri army to pieces.

He was sitting in a burger joint, his hands dipped in ketchup, giving him an extremely ordinary smile, just like any other ordinary person at a random table on a street corner.

He couldn't help but recall his encounter with Tony Stark at a banquet.

Both are geniuses, both are billionaires, but Tony Stark's condescension and perfunctory attitude are striking.

The person in front of me was so approachable that I didn't know how to respond for a moment.
