Private clubs originated in Europe in the 17th century, gradually evolved from the original aristocratic salon gathering to the best entertainment venue for the upper class, becoming a high-end consumption and lifestyle that only a few people can enjoy.

Such as veteran clubs, navy, army, air force, police clubs, cigar clubs, various official or high-profile clubs are popular.

The top-level clubs are all small circles for interpersonal communication, so the threshold for joining is very high. Either they are recommended by acquaintances or invited, otherwise they will not be able to enter at all.

The fundamental reason for the popularity of this kind of club is related to the advocacy of elite culture by the upper class of the United States. Through the form of clubs, the selection is carried out with super high access conditions to bring together elites in the industry.

For example, golf clubs, sailing clubs, Universal Clubs, etc. all require high joining conditions. As the fashion capital, New York naturally has many private clubs.

"Sir, we're here."

The black sedan slowly slowed down and stopped at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York. Fifth Avenue is Central Street in Manhattan District, New York. Men in suits and ladies in fashion, holding briefcases and entering and leaving the tall buildings, presenting an elegant and fashionable picture of modern American life.

This is not far from the first villa George bought. However, George's destination tonight is a club here.

“Cigar Club”

He showed his membership card at the door and handed it to the bodyguard at the door.

After checking the membership card and confirming that it is accurate, the bodyguard let George in.

Walking into the main entrance, there is a large dining room on the left and a small living room on the right. George walked along the stairs to the corridor on the second floor. Walking on the purely handmade carpet, George came to a thick door. As the boss behind the club, George rarely came here, but he also left an exclusive private room for George.

Entering the room, this is a study-style living room. The room is surrounded by bookshelves, and the fragrance of ink is faintly emitted.

There was a set of sofas in the middle of the room. At this time, Phillips and Howard Stark had arrived. After seeing George come in, they all stood up from the sofa.

"Gen. Phillips, Mr. Howard, good evening!"

"Hello, Your Excellency."

"All old friends, please call me George. Howard, there are no beauties here, I'm very surprised that you join this club." George walked to the main seat and sat down.

"Because the legend can only draw your cigar here, I don't know if it's true." Howard smiled sly.

"What I said is like being stingy." George smiled and shook his head, opened a cigar storage box he brought with him, and handed one to the two of them.

"Sure enough, you will still enjoy it. I haven't seen any sales outside." Phillips smiled.

"I planted a little by myself, it's nothing." George said with a chuckling.

"Let's talk about the serious business. We came to you tonight to invite you to join the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau," Phillips said slowly.

"This name is long enough." George asked pretending to be unknown.

"We are also considering simplifying the title.S.S.R. has dissolved, but Howard Stark and Page are ready to set up this department again, and the meaning of its existence is to fight organizations like Hydra," Phillips explained.

"We confiscated a batch of Hydra items during World War II. Through research on these items, we found that the earth is not the only advanced creature in the universe. And there must be other people or organizations that have obtained alien technology. So our original intention of establishing this organization was to discover alien technology and accommodate alien technology." Howard Stark continued.

"Then why invite me? I believe that with General Phillips' military background and Howard your mind and economic strength, I don't need me, right?" George asked.

Phillips and Howard looked at each other, and Phillips said, "It's George, so we invited Peggy Carter, who was the first to suggest that we invite you to join. What's more important is that we also need the research strength of your company, and it's not possible to rely on Howard alone. Also, because this organization is private, we hope to use your relationship to help us get some Hydra's trophy for our research."

After Phillips finished speaking, the room became quiet.

After a while, George said, "What can I get when I invite me to join?"

"Technology, as long as it is something we have developed, both of our companies will enjoy its results," said Howard.

"How did you plan?"

"Our plan is that the three of us become members of the board of directors. You are in charge of the operation department, the general is responsible for controlling the overall situation and serving as director, and I am in charge of the R&D department." Howard Stark explained the entire structure to George.

George pretended to be thinking: "In principle, I agree. Just let Carter be my subordinate, and I can also be more relaxed."

"Of course, no problem." x2

Soon, the Bureau of Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support was officially established and headquartered in Washington.

George understood that in the near future, the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Service will be taken over by the United States, and General Phillips is there, and the US authorities will not allow a spy organization to wander. This is something that all three of them know, but they have not pointed out this.

Sure enough, in the second month of the establishment of the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, George was called by the White House to meet with Truman.

The Bureau of Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support was officially taken over by the US government. Considering George's identity, the White House decided to continue George's position as director, but equipped George with a deputy. Carter was assigned to the New York branch. Phillips and Howard Stark's positions did not change, but both were arranged with assistants.

George had no objection to the White House decision. He also left all the work of the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support to the deputy sent by the White House. Since that day, George has never been to the headquarters of the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support.

What George wants is a name, giving himself a legal reason to interfere in the affairs of the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau. George has no interest in specific things at all.

However, he also took the opportunity to set up a special team. The members and the number of people were unknown. The team was completely legal after filing, but it was set as the highest secret and was pressed at the bottom of all files. This only requires a small hint in his heart, and does not require complete illusion.

Since George also holds a position in the board of directors, the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau regularly arranges people to collect what happened in the bureau and send it to George.

George also saw the paperclip plan and the Pegasus plan in the report he sent.

The Pergasus Plan is also the Tianma Plan. In Greek mythology, "Pegasus" refers to Tianma. In the end, this plan was jointly established by the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, NASA and the Air Force. The basis of the research was the Valkyrie aircraft seized by Hydra, which was committed to using the cosmic cube to develop alternative energy and light-speed engines.

Unfortunately, George found in his subsequent report that the "Tianma Plan" was progressing very slowly, and it can be said that he was completely standing still.

This has a lot to do with the failure of experts recruited by the paperclip program.

After implementing the paperclip plan, the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau absorbed many Hydra researchers, including Dr. Izola. In the early stage, these personnel did provide a lot of science and technology, including missile technology. However, that's all. In the later stage, they did not work hard, resulting in slow progress in many scientific research projects.

While George was installing personnel for the Land Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, Dr. Erskine made new progress in the research on the infinite formula.

George shook the reagent bottle in his hand and activated the ability to trace back time. In an instant, George saw the entire deployment process of Dr. Erskine.

In general, this product has similar functions to the infinite formula in George's memory. It can extend the lifespan of the taker to 200 years and maintain youth and vitality. The only flaw is that it needs to be taken all the time. Moreover, after studying Jia Ying's blood, the reagents produced by Dr. Erskine no longer have the flaws that will rapidly age without taking the medicine.

Dr. Erskine also made another product based on the infinite formula, which removed the life-extending function and retained the function of maintaining appearance and vitality. In fact, it is a low-end version of the life-extending agent.

George also made different arrangements for these two reagents. The life-extending potion is only for his own internal use, and all super-powered warriors can receive it regularly. Another reagent named by George as youth potion was then differentiated into three levels of high, medium and low. After packaging, George gave it to Jia Ying and sold it as a health product.

George believed that no one would reject this potion. The temptation of youth and vitality, both men and women, would long for it. This is a powerful tool to harvest those rich people.

However, George was not planning to use this potion for Alice. Although it was a potion for prolonging life, it was not a real potion for immortality. George looked down on this potion at all. George once thought about creating a magic stone used by Nicole Lemay in the Harry Potter world, combined with the infinite formula, which can achieve the purpose of immortality.

But this method did not meet George's satisfaction. In the end, George thought of a world where there was not only the way to live, but also the magical magic.

……………………

New York, USA

It was 2000, and George looked at the time in the newspaper in his hand.

This is the plane of "The Magician Apprentice". The story takes place around 700 AD. The righteous magician Merlin led his disciples Barsazze, Veronica and Hovas to fight against the evil witch Mogana Lofi. In order to seal the witch, Veronica swallowed Mogana's soul into his body, and Barsazze sealed them in the doll. Before Merlin died, he handed a dragon ring to Barsazze and asked him to find Merry's heirs and completely eliminate Mogana. In the years that followed, Barsazze traveled all over the world to find Merry's heirs, but he never got anything until he came to New York, USA.

In 2000 AD, the fourth-grade elementary school student Dave fatefully met Balsazer at a magic shop in New York and was recognized by the dragon ring. During this period, he accidentally released the evil Hovas, causing a huge chaos, and Dave was also thought to be mentally insane by his classmates. In the blink of an eye, Dave has grown into a handsome young man. His childhood experience seemed like a nightmare, but it hit him again ten years later. He had to follow the guidance of fate and start a final struggle with the witch.

……………………

Recalling the story, first of all, the magic in this world is a brand new magic system. The purpose of immortality can be achieved through practice or spells.

2000 is the beginning of the story, but George is not going to wait until 10 years later to join the plot.

George remembers that Balsazer's Magic House is in Brooklyn opposite the Statue of Liberty, a green building.

George first came across from the Statue of Liberty, and then expanded his senses to find the magic house.

When George came to this magic house, he happened to see a primary school student opening the door of the magic house. George also walked in behind the elementary school student behind. That should be Dave, because the brand of his schoolbag said.

The goods in the house were so dazzling, and George could see that the magician had no intention of running this magic house at all, so the things were not only very messy, but also a thick layer of dust had fallen in many places.

"Bangbangbangbangbang"

George saw Dave in front knocking over the antique that he didn't know whether it was real or fake. Fortunately, Balsazer appeared in time and saved a large urn and did not break it.

"The second emperor of the Han Dynasty locked his least favorite concubine in this house for ten years. To this day, there are legends that if someone opened it, they would be locked up for ten years." Barsazer pretended to be terrifying and told the story about the urn. Obviously, he was scaring Dave, and while speaking, he looked up at George who entered the store.

"Sorry, I'm just looking for notes. Have you seen it? The wind blew it into your store." Dave explained nervously.

"Note?" Balsazer asked, putting the large urn.

"It was just a coincidence that I was blown into your store," Dave said.

"Coincidence?" Balsazer thought of something in an instant.

"Yes, it's just a coincidence." Dave said.

"Hello, the gentleman over there I have something to do now. The store is not open for business for the time being. You can go out now, thank you." Balsazer said to George.

But before George could answer, he turned to Dave and said, "I have something to show you, Dave." After that, he walked into the counter.

"Because I know how to read the mind." Perhaps it was because he had not communicated with others for a long time, which made Balsazer seem a little nervous. He said this sentence in a loud voice, which scared Dave.

"It's written on your schoolbag," George interrupted.

"Sir, I seemed to invite you to leave just now." Balsazer looked at George again and said.

"Mr. Barsazze, I'm here to find you, so I can wait for you to communicate with this Supreme Merlin." George said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Balsazer asked with a thumping eyebrows.

"George, a mage, I can talk about this later. I think this successor to Supreme Merlin must be in a hurry now, so you can continue." George explained.
