Chapter 149 Swift and Decisive Actions (First Update)

"Boss, there's been a problem at the company, and we need you to come over."

Just as Hawking was happily preparing to study the large number of spells he had just acquired, Susan suddenly called him in a hurry.

"Okay, I understand."

When Hawking heard that Susan didn't explain on the phone, he knew that what she was talking about was something that couldn't be known to outsiders.

He's not Tony Stark, capable of shielding his phone from S.H.I.E.L.D. eavesdropping.

Therefore, he would choose to meet in person for important matters.

Nick Fury had previously joined forces with him to deal with some ambitious politicians who opposed them, but that didn't mean they were on the same page.

If he had the chance to control him, and control his League of Legends International company, he believed that the other party would definitely take action against him immediately.

The reason he spared Nick Fury and didn't kill him was...

Aside from the future Avengers heroes like Captain Marvel, the most important reason is that killing Nick Fury would inevitably lead to S.H.I.E.L.D. falling into the hands of other politicians.

Then it will truly become a tool to deal with him.

With Nick Fury around, at least occasionally we can use him to maintain a balance in our relationships with those politicians.

You can never kill all the politicians, because once you kill one, another will naturally take his place.

He also didn't want to waste his precious time getting entangled with those politicians, and Nick Fury's presence could effectively solve the political problems.

The reason League of Legends International has grown to its current state is not because of the superheroes that are popular with the public, nor because of its clever business strategies.

The most fundamental reason is that Hawking's existence and his power make all forces wary and dare not cause him any trouble, at least not openly.

Therefore, all he needs to do is focus his limited time on cultivating and becoming stronger; everything else is secondary.

He flew through the air and soon arrived at the top floor of the company building, flying into his office through the window.

Because the company was growing too fast, the old building could no longer meet the company's needs, so he simply bought the entire Baxter Building from Reed.

Just then, Reed was also unable to repay the building's loan due to the failure of his solar storm experiment with Doom.

"What exactly happened?"

Sitting down in his chair, Hawking asked Susan, who was already waiting for him in his office.

Susan placed the compiled documents in front of Hawking.

"I've already had the public relations department control the public opinion, and it hasn't escalated. I've also spoken to the police. The problem now is how we should deal with him and how we should explain things to the deceased's family."

"This was bound to happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

Hawking closed the file:

"Bring the deceased's family here, I'll speak with them personally, and I'll also convene a meeting with all the company's current official superheroes."

The information in the document is roughly about one of the company's superheroes who, during a mission, got into a conflict with a passerby and, in a fit of rage, used his abilities to rape and then kill him.

He later lied and claimed that his death was an accident that occurred during the mission.

Now that the incident has been leaked, the deceased's parents are naturally unwilling to let it go. They not only called the police but also hung banners to block the company entrance.

In fact, he had already anticipated this situation where a superhero would turn into Homelander.

Being a superhero isn't something everyone can do; besides strength, the most important thing is one's moral character.

Only those who possess power can uphold their principles and be considered true superheroes.

As the company grows, more and more people with special abilities join the company. Only a few can truly uphold their principles; most are just after fame and fortune.

If we cannot deter these people with decisive measures, there will only be more cases like the one described in the report in the future.

Ten minutes later, Susan brought a middle-aged couple to Hawking's office.

But as soon as the couple saw Hawking, they rushed towards him with furious expressions.

"You murderers, God will not let you get away with this! You will all go to hell!"

After learning how their daughter was murdered, the couple immediately reported it to the police. However, when the police heard that it involved superheroes from League of Legends International, they directly handed the case over to the company to handle on its own.

Knowing this was the outcome, they naturally misunderstood, thinking that the company was going to protect the murderer who killed their daughter.

That's why I was so excited when I met Stephen Hawking, the company's chairman.

However, they had only taken two steps when they suddenly stopped, their bodies stiffening and unable to move, their eyes filled with terror.

Because at that moment, in their eyes, Hawking, sitting in his chair, seemed to be magnified hundreds of times, like a god who was unapproachable and unassailable.

"Please calm down, both of you. Let me explain the company's solution first."

Hawking withdrew his imposing manner and spoke slowly.

With his current strength, he doesn't need to use any special moves when facing ordinary people. Simply releasing his aura is enough to prevent them from crossing the line.

"you say."

The couple, their faces filled with trepidation, let out a long sigh of relief, and gritted their teeth, replying with a mixture of fear and anger.

The instinct for survival prevented them from offending Hawking, but the death of their daughter made them unwilling to back down.

"First, I will give you five million US dollars as compensation for this incident."

Hawking was interrupted by the couple before he could finish speaking:

"We don't want money, and we won't forgive him. We just want him to face legal judgment and pay the price for his actions!"

"You can rest assured about that. I'm not asking you to forgive him."

Hawking waved his hand:

"Our company will deal with such scoundrels seriously."

He will pay for his crime with his life and will receive the punishment he deserves.

If you're not afraid, you can come with me to see the outcome for yourself.

"this"

The couple were stunned by Hawking's answer.

Because their best idea is to bring the criminal who killed their daughter to trial and imprisonment according to the law, since New York State has abolished the death penalty.

However, to everyone's surprise, the chairman of League of Legends International not only did not cover it up, but seemed to intend to execute the murderer.

"What, you're not willing?"

Hawking looked at the couple, who immediately replied:

"Yes! Yes!"

They were so eager to tear the murderer to pieces that they were extremely satisfied with the outcome.

"However, I have one condition."

At this moment, Hawking changed the subject, and once again projected his physical presence:

"That is, regarding today's events, and the fact that the murderer who killed your daughter is our company's superhero, we hope you will never mention it to anyone again."
