My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk

In the reception room, Eric's expression was very relaxed.

"Would you like a glass of orange soda?"

"No thanks, just coffee."

Susan smiled politely and refused.

Eric put down the soda and shrugged, "Everyone loves coffee. To be honest, I hate the taste of orange soda. But Mr. Alastair was kind enough to give me a big box. I thought it was because of me It’s the physique of Asians that doesn’t like orange soda, it seems that everyone doesn’t like this kind of soda.”

Susan was a little confused. She didn't know why the other party kept talking about orange soda.

Does orange soda have any special meaning?

She was lost in thought.

Susan didn't know much about the other party. She only knew that the other party was an investment genius in the financial field who had recently become famous and an entrepreneur with a lot of assets.

Little is known about the other party's personality and hobbies.

If it weren't for Butcher, she believed that she would never have any intersection with such people.

After thinking for a while, she decided to cut to the chase, "Mr. Xavier, do you know Billy Butcher?"

"I have a little impression."

Eric didn't deny it completely, "Is there a problem?"

"Actually, for some reason, I got acquainted with Billy Butcher," she pondered for a while, and organized her words, "Butcher once told me something about your relationship."

What she meant was, I know you are their boss.

Eric wasn't too surprised, he knew Butcher.

Butcher is the kind of bastard who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He can do anything. Small things like leaking secrets are simply childish.

"Well, it must have been a long time ago, and they told me I needed help. You know, with a guy who just lost his girlfriend and lost his wife for a long time, it's easy to go to extremes with a fragile mind, so I enlightened Hit them."

Eric put down his coffee cup and seemed to be talking about something trivial.

Susan has a headache, this man is more difficult to deal with than imagined.

Ignoring Eric's nonsense, she continued to speak in her own way, "Mr. Xavier, I don't think we need to hide our thoughts from each other, we all want to deal with Walter."

What she said was categorical.

Eric was a little surprised. The Susan Reiner in his memory shouldn't be such a careless person!

In the early stage, when she dealt with Walt, she was more likely to be chased away by Butcher.

Subjectively speaking, she is aware of the power of Walter Company, so she is full of hesitation in dealing with such a behemoth.

Her acting style is also indecisive, she will not take the initiative to attack, but waits for the black robe team to provide him with Walt's criminal evidence, and then weighs the value of bringing down Walt.

Unexpectedly, she is now more eager than the black robe team. Could it be that Butcher "convinced" her?

Eric thought wickedly.

Naturally, Susan couldn't hear what Eric was thinking. She looked into Eric's eyes and said, "Three days ago, a super terrorist appeared in front of the US military's Syrian positions. They called him 'Bernaqi' .”

"In the past, even if there were super terrorists, they only appeared in the United States. But this time super terrorists appeared in the US military positions and became enemies. This has a great impact on the American people. Everyone is worried whether our soldiers can deal with it. got them."

Susan's tone was very serious, "The products of Lockheed Martin, Northrop, and General Electric have all become dung. There is only one company that can solve the urgent needs of the US military, and that is Vought. Vought has its own Superheroes and supersoldiers, they can take advantage of public opinion and concerns and get into the Department of Defense."

"This is a large order of more than 40 billion U.S. dollars,

It will also make Vought a lifeblood enterprise that controls the army. "

As a righteous CIA official, she does not want to see this happen.

This country should not be protected and controlled by these superpowers.

Eric listened quietly to Susan's speech, and took a sip of coffee, "It sounds like the situation is bad, but I think, Ms. Rainer, you should respond to your superiors and the Senate. Although I really want to Help you, but I'm powerless."

He shook his head lightly, not knowing whether he was dissatisfied with the coffee or was rejecting Susan.

"That's exactly what I'm going to do. Now we only need one key piece of evidence, Compound No. 5. As long as we have it, we can destroy Vaughan's plan to enter the Ministry of Defense, and even bring down the opponent!"

"So you believe I can get that thing?"

Eric leaned back, let his back lean against the back of the chair, and said calmly: "It sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately, I don't have the kind of thing you said."

Susan was not discouraged, she seemed to be waiting for Eric's words, "Your team, they are collecting Compound No. 5, I think we can cooperate in this regard, and cooperate with the CIA."

It seems that bastard Butcher said everything to her!

Eric smiled, stood up, and raised his coffee cup, "Ms. Renner, you are getting closer to the truth, but you are also putting yourself in danger."

"Dangerous situation?"

"You are trying to break people's illusions, and you are also trying to destroy a huge chain of interests, Ms. Rainer, this is very dangerous."

"Yes, I know exactly what I'm doing."

"No, you don't know, because they are far more dangerous and limitless than you think."

Eric put down the coffee cup and said solemnly.

Susan showed a polite smile, "So, you are willing to help me obtain Compound No. 5."

 …

Eric, who returned to the room, saw Harper half-lying on the sofa, enjoying the warmth from the fireplace.

The tall and well-proportioned figure was brightly illuminated by the fire.

On the TV screen, a bad comedy TV series, "College Classmates" is playing.

Seeing Eric come in, Harper showed a smile on his face, "It seems that you had a very pleasant talk, otherwise it wouldn't have ended so soon."

"Enjoyment isn't necessarily related to progress, but we did come to an agreement in the end."

Eric put his coat on the sofa, stepped forward to hug Harper, and rested his head on her shoulder, "Finally, I can breathe the smell I haven't seen for a long time."

Harper was very interested in the conversation between Eric and Susan just now, and wanted to know what they talked about.

Eric then told her the general content of the conversation.

"So you finally agreed to her."

"Hmm, even if she doesn't show up, I will release the news about Compound No. 5 to prevent Walt from entering the Ministry of Defense. Ms. Susan Reiner, just in time for her meeting..."

"Then is she really in danger?"

"Not yet, but the future is uncertain."

Eric shook his head.
