I'm the Demon King in Marvel
Page 95
There are special items left over, which is a bit troublesome, but not too troublesome.
Nick Fury always thought that most of the special items that he could not control had flown into the sun, leaving only a part of the things he could control that he had secretly withheld.
Anyway, the inventory table has been wiped out. If you want the real thing, you can only go shoulder to shoulder with the Sun.
The only thing that gave Nick Fury the most headache was the financial audit. In addition to these major expenses that could be handled, he also deducted a considerable portion of the annual daily operating expenses to provide relief to the Skrull refugees.
Although the amount of funds withheld each year was not much, it had become an astronomical figure after nearly twenty years, and it would not be enough to make up the difference even if the money was sold.
This loophole can be discovered by hiring a good accountant.
Nick Fury isn't leaving anything to chance.
"Tony, I need your help with something." Nick Fury couldn't find anyone else, so he had to ask the rich for help.
"Lend me some money."
Tony Stark was stunned, but he didn't ask any more questions. He asked directly: "How much?"
As the boss of S.H.I.E.L.D., there is no need to borrow money from him unless you encounter a big problem.
"Two billion dollars." Nick Fury said.
'Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off.'
"..."
Nick Fury had a gloomy face and changed his phone number to contact Jarvis directly.
"Sir, he called again." Jarvis reminded Tony Stark who turned around to work.
"Get him out of here!" Tony Stark said angrily, "I'll just lend him tens of millions and treat it as sending away a homeless man. Two billion? Why doesn't he just rob a bank?"
The other party came to borrow money most likely because he was in trouble, and there is an 80% chance that the money will not be returned. After all, how much salary does Nick Fury get in a year?
For dad's sake, it's not impossible to provide tens of millions of dollars in support, but he's asking for 2 billion U.S. dollars right away. Do you think he's the Federal Reserve?
"Sir, he left a message. Do you want to listen to it?" Jarvis asked.
"delete……"
Tony Stark finally gave up and clicked on the message.
"Tony, SHIELD is your father's hard work and a sharp sword in the hands of America. Now the World Security Council is about to send a joint review team to the United States. The enemy's intention is very clear, which is to destroy this sword."
"The world is getting more dangerous and you need help."
Nick Fury's words left Tony Stark silent.
The proud genius has always placed the security of America on his own shoulders, and even boasted that "I alone can maintain world peace." This is not only a harsh remark, but also his inner voice.
Tony Stark is such a proud man!
But the facts kept slapping him in the face. The red shadow of Dongfang Bubai had not yet been eliminated, and the dark cloud of the nano armor was always hanging over his head, forcing him to pursue it day and night without sleep.
Then powerful aliens appeared, and now a magician appeared.
The proud genius in his heart made him unwilling to admit defeat, but he also gradually realized that he needed companions around him, even if they were just helpers.
In the original novel, he realized this thanks to the Avengers who fought together against the aliens.
Now, the enormous pressure has made him realize this in advance.
"Contact Pepper and ask her to go and negotiate, and try to get back some valuable collateral."
Tony Stark believed that "Black Salted Egg" must have a lot of good things in his hands, and maybe he could take them back to increase the power of the armor.
"Okay, sir."
Third update
Chapter 130 Alnwick Castle and Hogwarts
While Nick Fury was distracted, the British had already selected several locations for magic schools for Tom.
Unexpectedly but not unexpectedly, Tom actually saw a familiar castle inside.
"Where is this?" he asked Humphrey Appleby, who was standing beside him.
"Alnwick Castle, located in the city of Alnwick in the north of England, has a history of more than a thousand years." Appleby is familiar with the locations of all magic schools.
"Annick..." Tom suddenly stood up, grabbed Appleby's shoulders, and disappeared into a whirlpool.
The maids standing by the wall were not surprised. They had all received professional training and had to endure it even if they couldn't help it.
The scene changes, with Tom and Appleby appearing on the streets of Alnwick.
Appleby had gradually gotten used to the side effects of the space change. He took a deep breath to suppress the discomfort, then immediately took out his phone to contact local government officials.
Soon a business car arrived and took the two to Alnwick Castle.
Looking at this quaint castle, Tom had a nostalgic look on his face.
A bit like it, but not quite.
There are many things about this castle that are like Hogwarts, but there are also many things that are not like it.
There were no distant mountains or dense jungles, only castles on the hills and green trees that looked ageless.
In order to defend against foreign enemies, it was impossible to leave tall jungles near ancient castles.
There is no large quiet lake, only a small river that flows around the castle.
The Dark Forest and the guard's hut were gone.
There were no unicorns and no gamekeepers to be seen.
It's not the same world after all.
Tom felt inexplicably sad.
Even though he is a powerful Dark Lord, he cannot cross the barriers of the world.
The mysterious master was able to bring him from another world...
After receiving the news, senior government officials in the city of Annick politely asked the tourists in the castle to leave and notified the owner of the castle.
Who in Britain doesn't know that magic schools will bring huge benefits to Britain?
If you can settle on your own land, you will be blessed with great wealth.
The resulting increase in land prices and tourism revenue are minor matters; the policy bias and even the increase in voice are the real wealth.
This is a magic school that is open to the public!
The only place in the world that can produce extraordinary power.
How much is the appropriate price for the land to be sold?
madness!
It’s free!
That’s it, no matter how many people want to give it, they are not eligible!
The owners of the castle hurried over. They did not dare to disturb Tom who was immersed in his thoughts, but hurried to Appleby.
"Sir, Mr. Riddle is not..." The owner of the castle smiled nervously.
If the magic school really chooses this place, he and his family will receive unparalleled benefits, and can even restore the glory of hundreds of years ago.
"Keep your voice down and don't interfere sir..."
Before Appleby could finish his words, Tom's indifferent voice came: "Here it is!"
It was like hearing the sound of nature, but the owner of the castle suddenly became dazed, just like Fan Jin's reaction when he passed the imperial examination.
"Congratulations, Mr. Riddle has chosen your family's property!" Appleby was a little disappointed. After all, he also asked his family to contribute several castles and manors.
However, it is a consensus across Britain to establish a magic school and start enrolling students as soon as possible, and it is also the top priority at the moment. Although Appleby feels it is a pity, he dare not delay the important matter.
"I got it?" The castle owner finally realized what was happening and was overjoyed. "Did I get it?"
"Yes, sir, you have chosen Alnwick Castle."
Appleby immediately took out a document he had with him and handed it over.
"You can choose to continue to retain ownership, but you must agree to any changes to the castle that Sir makes."
"No need, we are willing to donate Castle Annick to Mr. Riddle." After all, he is a child of a big family, so he still has some cognitive ability.
When doing favors, you have to do it in one step so that you can maximize the benefits.
It’s better not to give anything than to be stingy.
A castle was given away, but in return it was an opportunity for the family to take off.
Putting aside other things, you have to consider our family first when recruiting students, right?
Tom really turned around, looked at the middle-aged man, and nodded at him, obviously very pleased.
"Okay, then you sign the gift document." Appleby was well prepared.
While the documents were being signed, Tom took out his magic wand, drew a circle on the lawn, and a clod of soil floated up out of thin air, carrying him into the sky.
Then, a white light emanated from the front end of the wand. The light was so strong that it was dazzling even in the daytime.
A layer of transparent light film suddenly appeared in the sky, spreading in a spherical shape, and after a moment it enveloped the entire Alnwick Castle.
After the magic shield was completed, it flashed twice and disappeared without a trace.
Tom returned to the ground and the lawn returned to its original state.
Ignoring the shock of others, he said indifferently: "Send a notice, the enrollment of the magic school will begin soon."
Appleby nodded in astonishment, but immediately reacted and asked, "What is the enrollment method? Do I need to take an exam?"
"No, a bloodline with magic cannot be discovered through examinations."
Tom suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "As long as the children on Earth receive a letter with the 'Hogwarts' seal, and then the guardian signs to agree to their admission, they will hold the letter in their hands and the letter will bring them here."
"Is 'Hogwarts' the name of a magic school?" Appleby asked, "Could the letter be a space key, just like the magic you performed earlier?"
