Chapter 690 Sitting Tiger

Jiang Shan sat cross-legged in front of the Shanhai Ding and took out the Wanzhao Plate and Pandora's Box.

Putting the box aside first, Jiang Shan picked up the plate, grabbed the magic spirit from the Wan Curse Plate, and let it play aside.

Then a breath of white wave-like air gushed out from Jiang Shan's mouth and fell onto the Wan Curse Plate. The white air split into thousands of lines, outlining one mysterious celestial pattern after another and as it flowed, the body of the Wan Curse Plate began to melt.

Refining magical weapons, especially high-level magical weapons, is often a long process.

Even though Jiang Shan is very capable, it will take at least one or two months to use Pandora's Box to upgrade the Ten Thousand Curse Disk.

Then death came.

Her breath lingered around Jiang Shan, and she curiously watched Jiang Shan refine the magic weapon.

Bruce Wayne came out of the White House, looked up at the gloomy sky, and let out a sigh with regret.

As the largest capitalist in Gotham City, which ranks third in economic strength in the United States, Bruce Wayne's status in the capital world is self-evident.

He can see the owner of the White House anytime he wants.

Especially in today's harsh economic environment in the United States, where many multinational corporations and high-tech companies have been hit hard or even bankrupt, local giants like the Wayne Group, which have a monopoly position in a certain city, become even more important.

This kind of capital group, which is at the level of a local tyrant, generally monopolizes the food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, aging, illness and death of millions or tens of millions of people in a city or a region.

In the previous internationalization trend, such local tyrants were often despised because they were only good at exploiting their own people.

But at present, the economic situation in the United States, the decline of internationalization, and the failure of multinational high-tech companies one after another have caused these local tigers to immediately become prominent.

After Rogers entered the White House, he proposed many reform measures, but most of them failed to pass Congress; but the small part that passed was enough to make the capitalists nervous.

This is especially true for the sitting tiger.

Because Rogers wanted to take back the interests that belonged to them and return them to the common people.

This is the reason why Bruce Wayne came to the White House to meet Rogers.

He and Rogers talked for several hours, but the more they talked, the less they could reach an agreement, and the greater their differences became.

Bruce felt that he could increase investment, provide more jobs and taxes, etc.; but Rogers wanted him to give up part of the profits monopolized by the Wayne Group, starting with agriculture and animal husbandry.

Rogers' words at the time were still echoing in his mind: "If the United States loses its people, who can you capitalists rule?"

"For the American people engaged in agriculture, the bankruptcy rate of small and medium-sized farms has exceeded 70 percent! And you are still taking advantage of this opportunity to desperately squeeze and merge them."

"I heard that there is a Batman in Gotham City who plays house every night with those people on the streets who have fallen into darkness because they have nowhere to live."

"I know that Batman is you, Bruce Wayne. You call yourself Batman, and you desperately exploit those people during the day and take away their only remaining livelihoods, and at night you pretend to be a hero. Tell me, what kind of hero are you?!"

"I remember that Musk, who just jumped off the roof of the Empire State Building in New York a few days ago, once said to the capitalists in the East, 'Be nice to your people'; now I give this sentence to you, Bruce, be nice to the people of Gotham."

Bruce Wayne stood in front of the White House for a long time.

It should be said that he was a capitalist with a conscience - but a capitalist nonetheless; although he was touched by Rogers' words, it was impossible for him to betray his class.

He was depressed, but what he was thinking about was to contact other thugs and plan to teach Rogers a lesson.

In the President's office of the White House, Clark, who had recently become Rogers' assistant, sighed, "Sir, what you said is very good, but I think the capitalists will not back down."

Rogers rubbed his temple and said, "If they don't retreat, I will force them to retreat!"

Said, "I will protect them - those people - no matter what."

Clark had previously interviewed Rogers, and then reported and publicized the story recklessly, which angered the newspaper owner and he was fired.

A few days ago, when Rogers was inspecting the dock, he saw Clark carrying bags and asked him why he was no longer a reporter; Clark told Rogers that he was fired.

Rogers felt deeply guilty and thought he had harmed Clark.

He bought Clark a glass of wine and then invited him to be his assistant - Clark was a top student and had worked as a reporter, so his abilities were unquestionable.

Clark agreed.

So Rogers had another assistant.

With the help of Loki and Clark, Rogers' work became a little smoother - but compared to before, overall, it was still very, very serious.

Many of his ideas could not be realized because Congress blocked him.

Clark, in the days since he became Rogers' assistant, has witnessed what Rogers did and has come to admire Rogers from the bottom of his heart.

Because Rogers is really working for the entire American people.

Clark was not the only one, all the staff in the White House also paid attention to Rogers' words and deeds; when he first entered the White House, most of them were lukewarm, but gradually some people finally moved closer to Rogers.

Rogers has a powerful charm and appeal that is unique to him.

It seemed that his work was gradually becoming smoother. Gamora went directly to Koros Island through the portal.

Although she had only stayed on Koros Island for a short period of time, she felt uneasy as soon as she arrived here.

After hugging Shen Mo, Gamora asked, "Where's Jiang Shan?"

Shen Mo said: "He is in Kamar-Taj."

Said: "What's the matter with you coming back this time?"

Gamora nodded, "It's very important."

Shen Mo then pulled her out: "Let's go find Sister Shen Man first. If it's urgent, then notify Jiang Shan."

"good."

Then seeing Shen Man, Gamora said, "We are in trouble."

Said: "Not long ago, when Carol and I were hunting down the Supreme Evolutionary, we fell into someone else's trap; Ego ambushed us with the Galactus."

"Carol couldn't defeat Galactus, but luckily Jiang Shan sent this."

She shook her wrist: "Only then can we escape safely."

Said: "Carol believes that the Supreme Evolution may have colluded with Ego; and Ego has no idea how to control Galactus."

"The power of the Planet Devourer is hard to resist, and there may be other conspiracies behind it."

"So we split into two groups. I came back to ask for help, while Carol and the others tried to find out the news and get the bottom of it."
