Chapter 49 The Daily Horn

"Get out of here!"

When I returned to the park, the two black thugs had disappeared. They probably went to the hospital after waking up, or they might have been dragged away by the police.

Hawking pulled the tree trunk out of the ground, threw it again, and then stepped on the trunk to return to the mutant school.

Good morning, Professor! You're up very early!

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw Professor X sitting in a wheelchair, seemingly waiting for him.

Clearly, Professor X was very concerned about his condition last night.

"I had someone buy a lot of ingredients overnight. You must be hungry since you haven't eaten all night."

Professor X smiled and pointed to the table next to him, which was covered with a variety of high-calorie foods such as steak, hot dogs, sandwiches, hamburgers, and pizza.

"Haha, then I won't be polite!"

Upon seeing this, Hawking's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat down and began to wolf down his food.

Jumping around on the rooftops of the city all night long is a kind of spiritual practice, and it also consumes a lot of physical energy.

When they had almost finished eating, Professor X began to inquire about Hawking's condition the previous night. Hawking did not hide anything and, after some embellishment, gave a general account of the events.

After listening to Hawking's account, Professor X smiled with satisfaction.

He felt that Hawking had done much better than he had expected, not only using his abilities to save people, but also creating a fully fleshed-out character.

This will definitely have a very positive effect on the change in humanity's attitude towards mutants in the future.

He could already imagine that if Hawking's "God of War" was truly revered by the general public in the future, once Hawking admitted that he was a mutant, it would greatly change the public's perception of mutants.

"Very good, Hawking, you did a great job."

Yesterday, I did as you instructed and had the Daily Bugle taken down. As for how you plan to proceed, you can contact the person in charge there, J. John Jameson.

"What? So fast?"

This time it was Hawking's turn to be shocked. He had only made the suggestion to Professor X the night before last, and Professor X had already taken over the Daily Bugle yesterday.

It can only be said that Professor X's family is much more powerful than he imagined.

"You woke me up the night before last. You're right. I should have noticed the power of the media sooner."

Professor X smiled.

Even if Hawking's superhero project fails, having a media outlet that can report positive news about mutants can still change some of humanity's perceptions.

So yesterday he used a lot of connections and spent a lot of money to buy the Daily Bugle from J. John Jameson, making J. John Jameson his employee.

"After I've rested this afternoon, I'll go and talk to him."

Hawking was naturally very pleased that Professor X had directly handed over control of the Daily Bugle to him.

Because that also means that in Professor X's eyes, he is already someone who can independently shoulder great responsibilities, and not just a little kid.

It seems that the high-IQ persona he has cultivated over the past few years is starting to take effect.

Starting a superhero international company like The Boys is no easy feat. Even if you have a lot of money, without the right connections to get into the financial world, you still won't succeed.

Having great strength is useless in this respect, unless you are strong enough to fight against the whole world and enslave all of humanity on your own, otherwise you still have to abide by some rules.

If the methods are too heinous, then in the end, they will only become like Magneto, a figure hated by everyone, and will be ganged up on by various superheroes as villains.

Earth is a deep place, especially since this 838 universe is very different from the main universe, and we don't know how many powerful beings are hidden there.

Besides, he's not alone; he has Wanda, Pietro, Oleg, and Elena, who are like family to him.

Therefore, Professor X's recognition and trust in him are very important.

Because Professor X, in addition to being a mutant, is also the heir to a large capitalist family, he can be classified as a capitalist.

With Professor X helping out, many things became much simpler.

"Professor, get me a camera, I need it."

After finishing breakfast, he told Professor X and then left the cafeteria to return to his room.

At 2 p.m., Hawking woke up and immediately turned on his computer.

Although most ordinary people in this era still mainly watch the news through newspapers and television.

However, most news can actually be viewed online.

Sure enough, he soon found a lot of news about him online, as well as videos taken by passersby and all sorts of comments.

Some people said the video must be fake, others said the golden armor was so cool, and the name of the Golden War God was so cool, and still others said that gods actually exist in this world.

Some extremists even claim that this is the end of the world for humanity, so gods have descended to earth.

Anyway, there's a whole bunch of random stuff, all sorts of opinions, but it's definitely gained some attention, and because it's about stopping crime, the reviews are mostly positive.

After washing up, he first went to the combat simulation room to take some photos with his camera, and then went to borrow Lasereye's modified Harley motorcycle.

It's not suitable to perform tree-riding flight in the city during the day.

"strong enough!"

Pressing the specially modified button on the handlebars instantly doubled the motorcycle's speed, prompting Hawking to exclaim in admiration.

If I had a motorcycle like this in my past life, wouldn't that have been incredibly cool?

He sped along, this time not stopping in the Bronx, but going straight to the Newspaper Hours building in Manhattan.

"That armored man? You said he should be on the front page of our newspaper tomorrow. How can a cowardly clown be on the front page of our newspaper? I've already put that news on page five today."

Jonah Jameson looked at Hawking sitting opposite him, laughed loudly, and waved his hand, clearly disapproving of his absurd suggestion.

Hawking, however, simply slammed his hand on the table:

"It's not an armored man, it's a war god. And Mr. Jameson, please get this straight, this isn't a suggestion, it's an order."

Mr. Charles should have told you that my orders are his orders, and you just need to carry them out.

"But...but this definitely won't sell. The front page should be about Tony Stark and the new Best Actress having a private rendezvous at a hotel last night. Everyone loves that."

Jonah Jameson replied, looking somewhat displeased.

He now regrets selling the Daily Bugle, which he had worked so hard to build, because Charles sent this clueless guy to give him orders.

But there's no way around it. The industry is fiercely competitive these days. He may look glamorous on the surface, but he's actually carrying a huge debt. He could go bankrupt if things go wrong, and Charles is giving him... too much.
