"This is... Mr. John Stillman?"
Howard, who has been in and out of the Pentagon all the year round and occasionally attended the White House banquet, recognized the man in the photo at a glance.
The opponent is the right-hand man next to the president, John Stillman, who served as the chief of staff of the White House.
The seat he sits in is known as the "Second President" and "White House Gatekeeper". It can be said that he is one of the politicians closest to the center of power in Washington, DC.
"Who is the other guy? It's still a man-is there something wrong with Stillman's sexual orientation? This is big news!"
Howard always has an extraordinary talent for being able to crook anything to the lower body.
"But in politics, it should be nothing. As far as I know, Hoover of the FBI is still bisexual."
"Luke, you know, those high-powered people, they call themselves high-class people, but in fact they are very nasty."
"Please don't take yourself out when you satirize them in harsh language."
Glancing at Howard, who was gradually getting out of the topic, Luke got up and walked to the wine cabinet, taking out a high-end whisky that had come in from Stark’s mansion.
"As the boss of Stark Industries, a strong arms tycoon... Howard, don't forget, you are also a member of the upper class full of nasty people."
"And, to some extent, you are still the backbone!"
Dangdang!
The ice cube hit the wall of the cup, making a crisp sound.
The amber liquid was injected, rippling waves.
"Would you like a drink?"
Luke turned his head and asked.
"Use my collection to entertain me, you can really do business! No wonder the budget committee people have a headache when they see you!"
Howard was not forgiving, but he was very honest, and reached out to take the glass of whiskey.
"Speaking of which, why did you notice Stillman?"
Iron Man's father is a little confused. In his impression, the Superman Lieutenant General is not very interested in politics, especially the politicians who play power.
Otherwise, since the previous president showed solicitation, he doesn't need to refuse so quickly.
Luke took a sip of the cold liquid, his eyes flashed, and he whispered softly: "According to the six-dimensional space theory, the distance between you and any stranger you want to contact will not exceed six people."
"In other words, in theory, you can get to know every stranger in the world as long as you pass through at most six intermediaries."
Howard squinted his eyes and curled his lips. "It sounds like a very nonsense statement, but it's really interesting. Its logical trap is that no one knows who the six strangers are, and it lacks the conditions for specifying the target, so you can force it. Go round."
He lifted his chin and made an evaluation.
"Howard, why do you always fail to grasp the point?"
Luke reluctantly shook his head, pointed his finger at another man on the photo, and said: "I just want to say that if you want to explore a person's true identity and political position, you can start with his social circle, who he knows, The close relationship with someone, to some extent, represents his class and position."
"John Stillman seems to be the president's confidant, the gatekeeper of the White House, and the second-ranked figure of Washington privileges, but he met a vampire in private, and the two stayed for a long time."
"Vampire?"
Howard's voice increased a few degrees.
He was very impressed with this.
"Yes. According to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation, the person who met with Stillman was called Getaro."
Luke pushed the information on the table over and said meaningfully: "The pure-blood descendant of Grand Duke Dracula is also one of the powers of the North American Continental Vampire Council."
"It may sound incredible, but the group of nocturnal creatures that walk in the dark and dare not face the sun. They have a social system and power structure similar to humans."
"The Vampire Council, roughly equivalent to the cabinet of the White House, has tremendous power and can mobilize family resources at any time."
"The White House chief of staff colluded with the Vampire Council..."
Under Howard's fine tasting, it seemed to have a taste.
"I heard you say before that vampires call themselves a longevity species. In their eyes, humans may be just a short part of a long life."
"So, Stillman wants to live longer?"
Thinking about it, vampires are the most attractive bargaining chip for mankind, and there is only the legendary immortality.
Everyone is afraid of death, and hopes that cruel time can be merciful to his men.
"Not all right. Vampires will also age, but it is much slower than humans, far from reaching the point of immortality."
Luke corrected Howard’s misconceptions, and then continued: “As for Stillman’s private contact with the Vampire Council, I, like you, initially thought it was an exchange of benefits.”
"But as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents investigated in depth, I found that it was not that simple."
Speaking of this, Luke paused, looked at Howard, who was puffed up, and asked with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the ‘Hagui tribe’?"
"Is it some kind of underground group that worships vampires?"
Howard thought for a few seconds, combined with the literal meaning, and gave the correct answer.
"This is true for the predecessor. Human beings are very complex creatures, and they sometimes need a specific image as a spiritual support."
Luke raised his glass, stared at the amber liquid, and said faintly: "The more empty you are, the more spiritual support you need-but this is only normal beliefs and belongs to personal freedom. There is no problem."
"When it comes to worship, that's another matter."
"There are money worship, male organ worship, and the most common idol worship in the world-all kinds."
"People always like to attach a certain strong desire or need to something specific."
"And the Hagui tribe is a group of people who pursue immortality, pursue immortality, pursue young bodies, and fresh vitality... Later, they gradually developed into a group of people who worshiped vampires, wanted to become vampires, and even considered themselves slaves to vampires. , Human beings are low-level creatures."
"Oh, sad short-sighted guy."
Howard had a contemptuous look on his face.
In terms of his insight and pride, he naturally doesn't look down on these guys.
To be more precise, he thinks that because his heart is not strong enough, he gives up thinking about himself and gives this power to others-all can be classified as idiots.
of course--
Except for personal beliefs, it's not about worship.
Howard himself is not a pious Christian.
"I didn't expect Stillman to be a hag, who worships vampires secretly. He graduated from Duke University's law school. I thought that a law student should be more sensible than a normal person."
"Don't label people casually. Before I met you, I also felt that MIT's geniuses were probably the kind of nerds who were not close to women. I also think that scientists are always serious and stereotyped."
Luke's retort left Howard speechless.
He tried Bailing's harsh and poisonous tongue and placed it in front of the opponent, and it seemed to have no effect.
"After I left Washington, D.C., Stillman began to communicate with the Vampire Council. Prior to this, he did not show the slightest abnormality."
Luke opened the vampire council's information about Getaro, the content is relatively simple, not as detailed as the White House chief of staff John Stillman.
It can be seen from this that the agents and agents of SHIELD may be okay to face ordinary people.
But to deal with creatures like vampires, it seems a little under-sighted.
"Actually, it's not just Stillman. From the information I have on hand and the results of the investigation, it can be seen that one-third of the congress members are all Hagui tribes or have close contacts with them."
Luke tells a shocking fact.
This is equivalent to the upper level of the national power pyramid, almost almost completely infiltrated by vampires.
Realizing the seriousness of Howard, he finally reduced his cynical frivolous expression.
"The vampires in North America seem to have developed a little better than Europe."
He took a sip of whiskey and expressed doubts.
"The situation on the two sides is different. The pure-blood descendants of Grand Duke Dracula know more about unity. They are closely connected with human society, while the situation in Europe is more chaotic."
Luke briefly introduced a couple of sentences ~www.novelhall.com~ In addition, the New York Sanctuary's attack on dark creatures is not strong, which gives the Vampire Council a chance to survive. "
In recent years, the penetration of pure-blood descendants into business and politics has been considerable.
At its peak, half of the top financial institutions on Wall Street were members of the Hagui tribe.
Therefore, Wall Street elites are called "vampires."
is interpreted literally, but it is actually correct.
"Howard, do you remember Kang the Conqueror that I mentioned?"
Close the data, Luke's eyes flashed sharply.
Howard, who was sitting across from him, frowned, frowning and asked: "That guy who can travel through time and space and pretend to be historical celebrities everywhere?"
"Yes. I first thought that if Kang, the conqueror, were to choose a leader with high enough status and high enough power, he would probably set his sights on the Soviet Union."
Luke tapped his finger on the side of the wine glass, and whispered, "If you really do this and turn yourself into the one in the Kremlin, even if he wants to provoke the Third World War, it may not be a problem."
"But after I returned to New York and Washington, D.C., I saw the chief of staff colluding with the vampire council, and saw Mr. President, who was very simple...I couldn't help but come up with another idea."
"Suppose Kang the Conqueror is not in the Soviet Union, but-in the White House?"
