The Power of Capital

On the bus, Ade hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Bruce sensed his hesitation. "Alfred, what do you think of what he said?"

"Young Master Wayne, while the first two methods are somewhat too radical, they can succeed if you're willing to put in the effort. In fact, I prefer the third one."

"You mean, reform?"

"Yes, Mr. Wayne, with the Wayne Enterprises's capabilities, controlling the government of a state is quite easy." At this point, Alfred sighed, "As for the last one, that's a bit too idealistic."

Bruce smiled upon hearing this, "In that case, why don't we prepare a few more backup plans?"

"You mean?"

"I'll leave the matter of taking control of the government to you. While you're at it, recruit some people and talk to Falcone. As for me, I'll go and see what kind of people he introduced me to."

Alfred nodded; he was pleased with his young master's composure.

As for what to discuss with Falcone?

If this Gotham underworld king is willing to cooperate, then leave him some gray-market assets to support him in his old age; if he doesn't cooperate, then let him see what capital is all about.

Inside the firm, Constantine watched the luxury car drive away and took out a cigarette.

"Hiss~ Whew~, you didn't seem to charge a consultation fee just now."

"What's free is priceless, and besides, they're the Wayne Family, why would they owe me a pittance?"

Lin Xu waved his hand, sending all the secondhand smoke in the air back into Constantine's lungs.

"Cough cough cough, Lin, you just wait!"

"Okay, I'll wait. Hennessy, do the dishes."

Hennessy looked puzzled upon hearing this. If he remembered correctly, wasn't he a guest?

But the thought that his savings were running low and that people might come over for meals often made him quietly get up and start tidying up.

After finishing his cigarette, John pulled a 50-yuan note from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xu: "Boss, this is today's pay. Give me 25 back."

Lin Xu took the US dollar and was about to take out his change when he stopped.

"Where did this money come from?"

Constantine replied nonchalantly, "It was given to me by my employer."

Is your employer an angel?

"How come..." Constantine paused halfway through his sentence, looking at Lin Xu's amused expression and then thinking about his identity as a convenience store clerk.

"Do you have a dog's nose?"

"No, I'm just more sensitive to scents."

"The employer gave me a hundred, and this is the change I got from buying cigarettes. We'll split it 50/50, so keep the change."

As he spoke, Constantine's body went limp, as if crushed by the weight of capital.

He didn't want a share of the money, but the boss was giving him gold bars. Given his earning ability, he might not be able to earn that much in two or three years, let alone six months.

As Gabriel, who is omniscient in a small circle, the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Our Lady sees everything that happens in the office.

Seeing that Bruce had been easily fooled by Lin Xu with just a few words, he became somewhat furious.

I wanted to see how you dealt with the darkness within him, not to have you reform Gotham...

However, he did become interested in Lin Xu's four plans, especially the fourth one. If it could really solve the problems of education and employment for the lower classes, perhaps there would be much less filth in the world.

Unfortunately, it's a bit too late to try and change things now.

After much deliberation, Gabriel decided to go and meet Lin Xu.

Firstly, because of the God's Power within him; secondly, he also wanted to see this person's perspective on humanity.

Marvel Lin Xu Main Universe...

Adrian drove to the Avengers Compound. He was in a very unstable state, with sunken eyes and bloodshot eyes.

He recalled a few years ago when he was collecting recyclables for certain reasons.

Lin Xu came to his door and said those words that he would never forget, "A master's degree holder in electrical engineering, actually holed up here collecting scrap metal? How about working for me?"

From that moment on, his life changed. He enjoyed a comfortable life at home, received higher education for his daughter, and later even became a respected Male Hawkman in New York.

All of this is because of this man.

But now, that man is dead, leaving no trace of his body.

Adrian composed himself, took a suitcase from the car—something Tony had asked him to pick up in Houston, filled with his boss's clothes.

Perhaps they want to build a cenotaph for the Boss.

He had just reached the door when he heard a loud argument.

"Impossible!"

"I will preserve Thaddeus Ross and Lin's shares for them. If you want to interfere, then be prepared."

"What preparations? Hahaha, have you all forgotten my last name because I've been a superhero for so long?"

"You know, if I attend a technical conference and slightly lower electricity prices across the US, the presidency..."

"Thaddeus Ross, that's all I have to say. I hope you understand."

After listening for a while, Adrian couldn't help but sigh, "This is the power of capital."

He only entered the hall after the sound stopped.

In the lobby, besides the still angry Tony, there was a stranger sitting on the sofa, dressed in metal armor and a metal mask, with a dark green robe behind him.

Apart from that, none of the other Avengers members were present.

"Mr. Stark."

"Toomes, did you bring the things?"

Ade pushed the suitcase towards Tony: "Hmm~"

Thank you~

Ade shook his head. "He's not just your friend."

Tony fell silent upon hearing this.

Ade glanced at the two of them and then prepared to leave. Liz was crying very sadly at home, and he planned to go back and spend more time with her.

Wait a minute~

At that moment, Doom, who had been sitting on the sofa, called out to him.

"Who are you?"

"You can call me Big Doom, right, Toomes? How much time have you spent with him?"

"Who?"

Lin Xu.

"From 2011 to 2016, we met almost every week, once or twice."

That's good~

Doom turned to Tony: "Since he told you about the upcoming crisis in advance, it proves that you are indispensable in this crisis."

Tony narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. You understand the crisis in the Quantum Realm better than I do. Whether he can come back is another matter entirely. He values you so much, so you shouldn't take any risks. Or rather, do you want him to come back to find an Earth ravaged by war?"

Tony opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Seeing this, Doom quickly pressed his advantage. "We have his clothes, and we have people he's spent a lot of time with. As long as you send me and Toomes to the Quantum Realm, I'm sure I can find him!"

"... Can I trust you?"

You can only trust me!

"Wait..." Ade suddenly interrupted their conversation, "What are you talking about? Boss is still alive, right?"
