"Last night and this morning, riots broke out all over America, and Stark Industries' new energy plant was attacked." Fox News was broadcasting yesterday's big news at noon the next day.
"Some analysts have pointed out that this was a premeditated attack. Someone attacked the Stark Industries building yesterday morning and shot and killed two of Stark's employees."
"Later that night, Stark Industries' new energy plant in Philadelphia was attacked. A group of thugs attacked the Stark Industrial Park.
"The thugs exchanged fire with the industrial park's security guards and the local police. Fifteen people were killed at the scene, and more than seventy were injured," the news anchor reported solemnly.
Li Jie, who was watching the news on his phone during his lunch break, also had a serious expression on his face. Peter sat next to him and watched the news with him.
As for Harry, he naturally asked for leave. As the head of a super corporation, he didn't have the time to stay in school all day.
"After Iron Man and Nightcrawler intervened, the chaos last night was brought under control, but the appearance of a mutant almost caused the situation to go out of control again." The news showed the mutant giant's attack, which had been recorded by the police's law enforcement cameras.
Combined with its huge body and terrifying roar, the giant looked very intimidating.
"Now, the whole incident has become more and more complicated. Although Iron Man and Nightcrawler worked together to subdue the mutant, it also made the whole attack suspicious." The news turned back to the news anchor.
"Regarding this matter, we would like to ask our special commentator, Mr. Macaulay." It was the guy who had been clamoring for the mutants bill last time. Li Jie thought that he wouldn't show up again.
After all, the government had suppressed all negative news about the mutants and changed the topic. This also caused this guy called Macaulay to stop for a long time.
"This looks like a premeditated attack. I believe that anyone with a discerning eye can tell." Macaulay was immaculately dressed in the news.
"Looking at the motive for the attack, who is most likely to attack Stark Industries' new energy plant? Of course, it's the old energy companies and countries that rely on fossil fuels as a pillar of the national economy. "Macaulay was right.
"The new energy plan launched by Stark Industries has clearly touched their bottom line. They'll suffer huge losses, and might even be eliminated in the tide of history. " Li Jie had already talked to Harry about the impact of new energy, and they indeed had to bear the brunt of it.
That was why he had asked Harry to exchange his energy channels with Stark Industries, lest he didn't know whether to support Tony Stark or Tony Stark.
"That's indeed the case from the suspects we caught yesterday. Many of them were former energy company employees or related employees who were laid off for various reasons," Macaulay explained eloquently.
"Just Oscorp, which shares the same name as Stark Industries, has already laid off more than 1,500 people in New York this year."
"And that's just the situation in New York. I believe that when the new energy is launched, the number of layoffs at Osborne Group will continue to rise." Li Jie didn't like Macaulay's tone, as if he were instigating something.
"As a super company that spans many fields, Osborne Group won't hurt them even if they give up their income in the energy sector.
"The other traditional energy companies aren't as resistant to risks as Osborne Group. It's already been announced that OPCE is going to reduce crude oil production to prevent the impact of new energy.
"Many energy companies in America are also considering selling their businesses, or preparing to declare bankruptcy at any time, like the unlucky company that was destroyed by the mutants.
"This could cause the biggest layoff wave since the last financial crisis, which will exacerbate social unrest. So, it's not surprising that many groups and individuals who have conflicts of interest with new energy are dissatisfied with Stark Industries, which leads to conflicts. "
Macaulay's words were clear and logical, and the host nodded repeatedly.
"But among these people, there are many people who have received professional combat training, and there are even mutants. It's also said that these people were the ones who organized the unemployed to cause trouble.
"It's hard to believe that there's no mastermind behind this. We can't help but think about what role these people and the mutants play in this."
Alright, Macaulay was a believer in the "mutant threat" theory, but his previous analysis made sense.
"Jason, how credible do you think what he said is?" Peter asked Li Jie in a low voice after watching the news.
"In terms of motive, he's actually right. The corporations that were forced to lose their financial resources because of the new energy problem, as well as the possibility that some of their employees will go to extremes." Li Jie agreed with Macaulay on this point, because it was obvious.
"But I'm not worried about that yet. What I'm really worried about is who's doing this."
"Do you suspect mutants?" Peter asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say. There are good and bad mutants." Li Jie wasn't sure either. After all, he remembered that there seemed to be an organization called the Mutants Brotherhood.
The theory of mutant supremacy that Magneto promoted still had quite a lot of believers among the mutants.
"The only thing I'm worried about is that if all the factors come together, it'll be really troublesome." Li Jie had a headache thinking about this.
"What do you mean?" Peter asked.
"It's just in case those who are dissatisfied with Stark New Energy, those who are dissatisfied with the current situation of the mutants, and even some other people with strange ideas all gather together." Li Jie's words made Peter feel a little scared.
"Hey! Buddy, don't scare me. Are these people joining forces to start a war? "Peter shook his head, indicating that he didn't want this to be true.
"Did you know? There's a magical thing called Murphy's Law in this world. As long as things have a tendency to develop in a bad direction, then they will inevitably develop in the worst direction. "Li Jie felt that his words were a little redundant, so he immediately added.
"Bah! I hope I'm not a jinx. "
While Li Jie was chatting with Peter, his phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was a call from the comic company.
"Boss, our company's security guard and handyman who disappeared before is back again. He said he wants to meet you." The female employee in charge of reception glanced at the strong and handsome guy in front of her.
