1605. Destroy humanity?
New York, East Manhattan, Fifth Avenue, Hellfire Club's clubhouse.
The place had been cleaned up and redecorated with gold and jade. It seemed that Sebastian Shaw wanted to establish a new image, a new beginning. The decoration here was even more luxurious than before.
But today the clubhouse was deserted. There used to be many people waiting at the entrance of the clubhouse, but now there was no one except the security guards. In the middle of the clubhouse, there were seven people sitting at the huge round table. Only these seven people were present.
White King Tang Yu, Black King Sebastian Shaw, White Queen Emma Frost, White Bishop Donald Pierce, Black Bishop Harry Leland, White Car Torrent, and Black Car Red Devil. The seven of them, led by Tang Yu and Shaw, were the core group of the entire Hellfire Club's New York branch. They were also known as the Crimson Overlord.
And as if to echo the name of the Crimson Overlord, Sebastian Shaw ordered seven expensive red velvet cloaks for everyone to wear. So now Tang Yu sat on the White King's throne with an ugly expression. The cloak was made like a vampire's cloak … too chuunibyou! It was too shameful!
However, it seemed that both Shaw and Emma were very satisfied with the cloak. Tang Yu could only interpret this as the people of the Marvel Universe preferring this kind of chuunibyou uniform … This was a disease, a disease that the entire Marvel Universe was suffering from!
Although among the seven of them, except for Tang Yu himself, they were all Sebastian Shaw's people. But Tang Yu still sat calmly on the white throne, not at all weak. Even Donald Pierce, who had always been at odds with Tang Yu, lowered his head at this time, not daring to meet Tang Yu's eyes.
Because just a few hours ago, Tang Yu had just held a press conference on behalf of the Guardian Group, announcing the establishment of the Guardian Group and the information about the shale oil in the Permian Basin. Not only that, Tang Yu also invited Sebastian Shaw and others to attend the press conference.
Just outside the door, newspapers all over the world were now exclaiming that the United States had become the world's largest oil reserves, and that the Guardian Group was about to become the largest energy supplier. Moreover, the Guardian Group also issued a series of announcements, including the merger with Hans Real Estate, and the collaboration with dozens of well-known American companies and consortiums to fully develop the Permian Basin, build oil refineries and pipelines, and prepare to build an energy empire.
Even the Rockefeller family was shocked. There was even news that they planned to use all of their family's assets as collateral to buy the Guardian Group for an astronomical figure of five billion US dollars.
So, it was not just Tang Yu who was sitting in front of Sebastian Shaw, but a huge business empire whose assets and energy could no longer be calculated with money!! Although Sebastian Shaw got a batch of gold from Nazi Germany at the end of World War II and became a billionaire, he was not on the same level as Tang Yu.
Of course, Shaw was not an ordinary person. Now his focus was not on money.
The atmosphere here was a bit strange. No one wanted to speak. Everyone looked at their noses and didn't say a word. Tang Yu sat there and couldn't get past the vampire-like red cloak, turning the cloak over and over again. After a long time, Sebastian Shaw broke the silence with a hollow laugh, "First of all, I should congratulate you, Mr. Tang Yu. You will become the richest man in the United States in the next ten years. "
"Originally, this time should be within five years, but you do things without thinking and almost made the Hellfire Club fall apart. I have to play this card in advance. Not only is the effect far from what I expected, but we will also face the counterattack of the Standard Oil Company of the Rockefeller family. "Tang Yu said without looking at him.
Bang! Donald Pierce slammed his palm on the table and shouted, "Tang Yu! You better watch your mouth! What do you mean without thinking?! "It seemed that the six to one advantage in numbers gave him more confidence.
But Tang Yu glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you want me to remind you of your identity?"
Donald Pierce's face turned pale and he immediately slumped down. He sat in the chair and didn't dare to speak again. At this time, Sebastian Shaw came out to smooth things over and changed the topic. "Do you think what I'm doing is wrong?"
Tang Yu smiled and spread his hands. "Since we are sitting at the same table, it means that both you and I think we have the basis for cooperation. I don't know what you are thinking, but it is clear that your revenge against Edward Bachman was out of anger. So, let's talk about your plan first. "
Sebastian Shaw suddenly showed a somewhat ferocious smile and said, "Don't you think that the world is no longer worthy of being owned by those mediocre, stupid, and numb ordinary people? I want to build a world that is absolutely dominated by us upper class people! Those lower class people can only offer us their wealth, their lives, and their living space! We are the masters of the world!! "
Tang Yu frowned. This statement was somewhat familiar … Then his heart jumped. Wasn't this Nazi Germany, Hitler's theory? In the heart of this dictator, the Germanic were the superior people, and others, including the Jews, had to serve the Germanic. It seemed that Sebastian Shaw could be said to be an out-and-out Nazi remnant!
He shook his head and said, "You underestimate the power of ordinary people. Although a mutant can destroy dozens or hundreds of ordinary people, once ordinary people are armed, they are still a terrible force. Mutants who are at an absolute disadvantage in numbers are no match for ordinary people. Once you choose to do so, you are the enemy of the whole world. Humans will study and target mutants. Don't underestimate human wisdom and creativity. The final result is likely to be mutual destruction. "
The Sentinel robots were the final answer to this war … they had destroyed the mutants and destroyed human civilization. In the foreseeable future, it would be a future dominated by sentinel robots.
"Since the number of mutants is about one-hundred-thousandth of ordinary human beings, it's very simple to reduce the number of humans." Sebastian Shaw grinned and said, "The United States and the Soviet Union have the most powerful arsenal in the world. Once this arsenal is detonated, how many people will die? Yes, I'm talking about the Third World War!! "
Tang Yu shook his head and said, "I have calculated this possibility, but unfortunately, human resilience is beyond your imagination. The nuclear weapons of the United States and the Soviet Union are not enough to completely destroy the whole world, so the remaining human beings still have enough time and strength to fight against the mutants. More importantly, do you think once the Third World War breaks out, the mutants will be able to protect themselves? The biggest possibility is that they will still be conscripted by the country and then be forced to participate in the war! "
Sebastian Shaw snorted, obviously dismissive of Tang Yu's statement. Tang Yu saw his expression and naturally understood his thoughts. After all, Shaw had not experienced the war of Skynet like Tang Yu. He had thought about this option very carefully. It was to help Sebastian Shaw destroy human civilization and build a world of mutants, but he rejected it in the end.
