The Hell Merchant in American Comics

Chapter 84 United States Congress

When it comes to the military, things are much simpler.

At least that's how it seemed to Alec.

Taking Wanda and Jessica with him, Alec heads to Long Island, New York.This is a famous wealthy area, where financial giants and political figures gather.He has gained a lot from this place. It only took him a month to win over nearly ten billionaires here, as well as seven or eight members of Congress. Relying on these people, his network It expanded step by step until it spread throughout the United States.

He arrived at the door of a villa with ease and knocked on the door like a gentleman.

A middle-aged man poked his head out: "Mr. Alec"

Alec smiled and said: "Long time no see, Congressman Annett, you are really getting younger and younger as you live."

Annett smiled awkwardly, and then welcomed the three of them into the house.

Alec's sudden visit caught him off guard. After some fuss, a sumptuous meal was served.Annett wiped her sweat, sat next to Alec, and said with a little respect: "Mr. Alec, please"

Wanda felt a little awkward.

She leaned close to Alec and asked in a low voice: "How long do you plan to be nagging?"

Alec glanced at Wanda and replied unhurriedly: "Wanda, I know you are worried about Piero, but being anxious can't solve any problems. Think about why I brought you to find Piero, the MP from Anite." It is related to the military. The most direct way to know the whereabouts of Piero is to ask the Pentagon or SHIELD. But obviously, we will never get the answer from these people, so we need to find a government official Talk to a reliable person and use his mouth to ask these questions.”

Wanda said: "Annett is a member of Congress, do you think he will help you?"

"Of course." Alec smiled, "If you are not sure about letting him help, why would I bring you here?"

The meals are hearty.

But Annett's mind was obviously not on eating.

After Alec finished his lunch slowly, he dismissed a few bodyguards and asked with some urgency: "Mr. Alec, I don't know what the purpose of your sudden visit is."

"Help me find someone."

"Who"

"Pietro Django Maximoff mutant, now in the hands of the military."

Annett was surprised: "You want me to go to the Pentagon to ask for someone?"

Alec nodded.

Annett looked embarrassed: "That's the Pentagon. Although I am a member of Congress, if I stretch my hand too far, I will still be in trouble, and it will be big trouble. Mr. Alec, the military is taboo, and every congressman will try his best." Avoid direct contact with the military and go to the Pentagon to ask for people. If I don't handle it properly, I may be kicked out of Congress."

Alec already had a draft in mind.

"I know, but if I helped you, this wouldn't happen."

Annett hesitated: "I want to hear your terms, Mr. Alec."

Alec smiled and took out a piece of information: "This is my sincerity."

Annette opened it and looked at it, and then was startled.

"They are all"

Alec nodded.

"Mr. Annett, there are many people who want to live a long life. Island City Prison is not a secret to you members of Congress. Since I will find you, I will naturally find them. It is very important to find people in the Pentagon." It’s a sensitive matter, but if you have more than two hundred members standing behind you, I guess it’s not a big deal. By the way, Speaker Anthony is also one of ours, and I had a very pleasant transaction with him.”

Annett looked much better.

But he still had doubts: "Mr. Alec, there are dozens of congressmen living on Long Island, why would you choose me?"

Alec smiled and replied: "This is actually a very simple question, Senator Annett."

"I have attracted many MPs, but very few are trustworthy. Councilor Annett, the list I showed you is very long, but how many of them are really on my side? To be honest, I don't know the optimistic estimate. , there are 100 people. The remaining people took my benefits but refused to help me. In the past few months, Daocheng Prison has been invaded more than thirty times, and I captured many people: soldiers, FBI agents , Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., private detectives, and even some idiot sent his own personal bodyguard to test my authenticity."

Annett was surprised: "You think?"

"Yes, I plan to fight back."

"Annett, it doesn't matter whether you can save Quicksilver or not. Success is naturally the best. Even if you fail in the end, the outcome will not change. I can tell you. Quicksilver's biological father is Magneto Eric. His sister is Wanda the Scarlet Witch, and his teacher is Professor

Annett looked ugly.

"Someone is starting a war."

"Annett, the scale of this war will be unprecedented. This time, even the X-Men will not stand on the side of ordinary people."

Annett's face turned pale: "What should I do?"

"Before Magneto takes action, let go of Quicksilver. If possible, I hope to stop the project related to mutants."

"This can avoid war"

"No." Alec shook his head, "But doing this will at least help you win the support of the X-Men."

New York, S.H.I.E.L.D. airship.

Nick Fury frowned and stared at the file in front of him. This was a file belonging to Nessef, which recorded in detail the course of the Battle of St. Petersburg, the extent of the damage to the city, and the final casualties.

Coulson knocked on the door and came in: "Director, there is news."

"Someone saw Nessef in Australia. He was heading for Thor. Do you need to send someone to remind him?"

Nick Fury raised his head: "Don't worry about Thor for now. How did you do the things I asked you to do?"

Colson smiled bitterly: "No progress."

"Those Asgardians are very strict with their mouths, and we have not been able to dig out anything valuable. So far, we still know nothing about that extraterrestrial civilization. The progress on the mutant side is not very good either. Alec The military has been traced, and it won't be long before William's idiot will be exposed. On the superhero side, Peter and Tony declined our invitation. Steve is still in the recovery stage, and there is still some time before he wakes up. Banner Now in India, I don't dare to contact him rashly."

Nick Fury sighed: "Nothing goes well."

Coulson thought for a while and said: "Ross seems to be trying to get Banner's idea again. Does Congress also have the intention to restart the Hulk plan? Do they want to send people to contact Banner?"

"Need not."

"The Avengers Project"

"Don't worry about the Avengers." Nick Fury looked quite irritated. "Congress, how is the investigation going?"

Colson looked embarrassed: "It's very troublesome."

"We have confirmed that more than three digits of members have been in contact with Alec, including the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate Minority Leader, the Minority Supervisor, and the House Majority Leader , House Minority Leader, Party Whip”

Nick Fury almost gritted his teeth: "Tell me directly, how many people have never had contact with Alec?"

Coulson smiled bitterly again: "As far as I know so far, almost none."
