Chapter 3537 - 2668: Mayfly World (33)
With Stark's temper, how could he have possibly endured that? He immediately stopped the experiment he was conducting and abandoned the machinery, flying back to the Stark Building, where he spent the afternoon complaining to Pepper.
Pepper couldn't even be bothered with the issues between the two of them anymore; it was clear that the current situation was not heading in the right direction.
There had indeed been some frictions in public opinion between the two countries, or rather, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, both sides had regarded the other as their greatest hypothetical enemy. The situation had intensified with the onset of the era of interstellar exploration.
People had been imagining that this clash might erupt in some way, but for it to explode over Mutants was truly unwise.
Although Pepper had many Mutant friends, he knew that Mutants did not have an independent civilization and had always been wanderers. This meant that they had hardly any inhibitions, and should a conflict break out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now, there was absolutely no benefit in starting a conflict with China. There were too many technologies that required cooperation, and large conglomerates like Stark Group and Osborn Group had always been hinting at partnership. To choose this time to provoke a conflict was equivalent to cutting off one's own financial path, wasn't it?
Obadiah was also very dissatisfied with the situation, and his methods were far more extreme than Pepper's. He announced that Stark Group would withdraw from the elections and would no longer provide financial support to any political force.
Many believed that they were trying to save their own skins, but politicians understood that this was Obadiah expressing his dissatisfaction.
American politics is like a platter. Even if you don't wish to eat your fill from it, you must contribute some food to prove your allegiance—and no major company can completely fend for itself; it's just a question of to what extent.
Because once you get involved, you inevitably become entangled, ensuring that they are part of a community with congruent interests. If someone wanted to withdraw, the others would certainly not sit by and watch them disentangle themselves so cleanly.
Many believed that Stark Group was in trouble, but alas, Osborn Group immediately followed suit, withdrawing their own hand that had been intending to throw meat into the platter, leaving the desperately hungry hyenas truly panicked.
The direction of public opinion began to change gradually. Some old, smart details about Obadiah were dug up, and finally, he was charged with 27 counts; the Federal Bureau of Investigation
When they saw that bright red flag, adorned with a sickle and hoe, every country understood that the world was about to change.
When a certain Eastern Great Nation received a call for help, they came to a realization as if waking from a dream. The situation seemed oddly familiar. Is the Soviet Union myself???
