Kelly was also in the study, but her presence was very thin. Because of what was happening in front of her, she seriously lacked a sense of participation. After all, she didn’t know what Kingsman was at all, let alone the crying old man in front of her and the
Who are these two people?
But she got a rough idea of what he meant. It was his boyfriend who accidentally founded an organization decades ago. As a result, the organization developed over the years, and now he is back to look for him.
As Westerners, they also pay attention to loyalty. However, Kelly did not expect this level of loyalty. Her boyfriend had disappeared for decades, and these people were still devoted to each other, but on second thought, it seemed to be nothing.
God has never even appeared, so there are a lot of people who are completely determined?
Although they are a bit disrespectful to God, in Kelly's opinion, these people are indeed a bit of fanatics.
Thinking about it this way, Kelly felt very excited. Her boyfriend was not only an ancient person, but also a mythological figure, and he also had followers.
However, this still made Kelly feel less involved. After all, she didn't care much about what they said. This girl has a naive streak. But when she saw the Holy Grail, she became interested. If it were the legend of the King of Knights, the entire West
There are still people who don’t know much about it. The legend of the Holy Grail is really known to everyone. After all, the King of Knights is also a British myth. It is normal for people from other countries not to be interested, but the Holy Grail is not. The Holy Grail is a standard Christian myth.
!
"Is this the Holy Grail?"
Kelly looked at this sacred object that was 80% similar to the legendary one, and was extremely curious.
Kai was still immersed in remembrance and just nodded perfunctorily.
"Can it really make people rejuvenate and live forever? Can it realize all people's wishes?" Kelly then asked.
This time it was Ah Fu who answered.
"It's not as powerful as the legend says, but it's indeed miraculous. I don't know if it can make people immortal, but it can indeed bring people back to life. I used it to bring me back to life."
That was when he was fighting against the dog demon army in Egypt, and Afu died in battle. At Lao Fu's plea, Kai used the Holy Grail to resurrect Afu. Later, after Kai disappeared, the Holy Grail was left to Kingsman, but Kingsman
Man could only use it to create a group of super agents, and they still couldn't discover other magical features.
Ah Fu's words made Kai wake up from his thoughts.
He smiled and said: "In a sense, the answer to Kelly's question is yes."
This time it was not just Kelly, but everyone else also looked over in surprise, especially Alfred, Harry Hart and Eggsy. After all, this thing had been in Kingsman for almost a century, and they didn't
What to research.
"The Holy Grail is the holy object of the Old Religion..." At this point, Kai remembered that the title of the Old Religion was a bit inappropriate here. "The Old Religion I am talking about is the kind of primitive worship. They worship nature, which is somewhat similar to the modern Druid doctrine.
, but it’s a little different, but that’s not important. In short, in ancient times, the Old Religion was once a behemoth. They held the right to explain all mysterious events, and were also the birthplace of the most authoritative religion and magic. In their most glorious period
At that time, they even came into contact with the law of cause and effect. The Holy Grail is their highest achievement. You can think of it as a universal wishing machine, which can realize any wish you have."
After hearing this, everyone stared at the Holy Grail. No one is a saint, everyone has something they want but cannot get. Now that they heard that there is such a holy object that can fulfill any of their wishes, they are naturally tempted.
But Kai, smart people noticed that Kai added a prefix "in a sense" before. Generally speaking, as long as this sentence is added, the subsequent content will be greatly reduced.
"Are there any limitations to it?" Catherine asked.
Kai glanced at Catherine appreciatively. "Of course. If it was really that powerful, the world wouldn't be what it is now."
"What restrictions?"
"The price!" Kai seemed to have thought of something and laughed. "If you want to get something, you have to pay the corresponding price."
Kai guessed that when the big guys from the old religion created the Holy Grail, this was definitely not their original intention. It is estimated that after they created the Holy Grail, they were also very angry. It was a completely equal exchange. For example, if you want to kill someone, then you
You have to give your own life... There are definitely ruthless people in this world who are willing to die with their enemies, but there are definitely not many. After all, there are many ways to kill the enemy, but who is willing to die together unless they have to? It's too hasty.
Ever since Kai got the Holy Grail, he has been thinking that it was definitely because of this that the people of the old religion shelved this thing.
"Exchange of equal value is the principle of the Holy Grail."
"What if I wish for world peace?" Kelly asked curiously.
"Yes!" Kai replied amusingly: "But the final result is probably that you need to sacrifice half of the world's people, and then kill the other half with the Holy Grail."
"Then this thing seems useless." Kelly suddenly felt bored.
These words made the three Kingsman men secretly glare at her, but Kelly didn't notice it at all.
"You can't say that. It would be different if he was in the hands of the right person." Kai raised the Holy Grail and slowly poured his 'soul energy' into it. Suddenly the Holy Grail burst out with dazzling light, and Kingsman's three
People feel it most directly, and they clearly feel the changes in their bodies.
In fact, apart from Alfred, both Harry Hart and Eggsy are much weaker than the warriors Kai created with the Holy Grail. After all, although the Holy Grail is magical, it is just a dead object and no one can control it.
, and lacks the support of strength, the ability will naturally only become weaker and weaker.
After consuming about half of the experience bar, the power in the Holy Grail has been restored to a lot. Over the years, it has also collected a lot of souls. These souls are the souls of Kingsman elite agents. But because there is no master to control it, it
It couldn't make good use of those powers. Now Kai took the initiative to use his soul power to help it complete the digestion of those souls, and it naturally recovered quickly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After completing this action, Kai sent the Holy Grail back.
"Take it, you have done a good job these years. Then keep on doing it."
After receiving the Holy Grail from Kay, Harry Hart was obviously a little confused.
"You...won't you go back with us?"
"Why should I go back?" Kai said funnyly: "Go back and give you orders? Let's forget it. Kingsman has been running independently for so many years, and there is no need for a person who knows nothing to come over and give orders."
To be honest, Kai was touched by Alfred's ability to remain loyal. But expect those Kingsman agents who have never met him to be the same as Alfred? Don't dream. Maybe those Kingsman agents and Harry Hart
Likewise, you can also maintain respect for yourself.
But so what? Kingsman has been running independently for so many years. Others have their own set of political ecology, so what? Do you think you can step in and dominate as long as you live long? What are you thinking?
It's not that the other party will definitely do something bad, after all, Kai is their master no matter what.
But why bother? Forcibly going back will only make both parties awkward.
Kai has no power ambitions, so he might as well keep the status quo and do whatever Kingsman should do.
Harry Hart also wanted to persuade him, firstly because Kay is indeed their belief. Secondly...please, it would be cheap for the Americans not to invite such a great god to come home to support him?
But Kai waved his hand.
"Stop talking, I'm very satisfied with my current life. Besides, the British government will definitely notice when I go back. I don't like politicians."
Harry Hart didn't say anything in the end. After all, others are the real bosses. If others don't want to go back, he can still kidnap them. Besides, Kai's existence itself is the biggest trump card for them. As for him,
Where it is is not really a big problem.
But Harry Hart didn't play around with his work. He took out another briefcase. Inside was a stack of documents.
"These are all your properties. They have been under the secret management of Kingsman for these years. Now that you have come back, these properties must be returned to you."
"Industry?" Kai was stunned.
At this time, Ah Fu reminded: "These are some of the industries you asked my grandfather to acquire. Kingsman was built on these industries. After Kingsman got on the right track, these industries were divested, and we set up a special
A committee helps you manage these properties, but to the outside world, these properties are controlled by a fictional aristocratic family."
Kai flipped through these documents at random. He was not very interested in these things. Kai had heard this sentence before; 'If you have too much money, it is just a simple number.'
He always regarded this as fart, after all, he never had much money.
But after he woke up from the tomb, he realized that this sentence was so correct.
In terms of personal property, Kai may be richer than Tony Stark. If nothing else, the mountain of treasures in the King's Treasure House would make the international gold price immediately turn into a bargain. So he didn't care.
He threw these things directly to Ah Fu.
"You handle it, I have a headache."
Ah Fu was stunned for a moment, but still nodded. This thing is actually more of a situation. Whether the documents are signed or not does not affect the ownership. Is Kingsman still ignorant of Kai's industry?
But then Kai remembered something and asked.
"By the way, what's the last name of that fictional noble? Will it expose me?"
Afu put away the documents and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, the surname of this nobleman is exactly the same as the surname you use now, both are Wayne."
"Huh?" Kai suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Wayne family?
Where have you heard it?
…
The Stark Industry Expo is in full swing, but as the expo becomes more popular, the Chicago Police Department is getting more and more headaches.
Because there are more and more protesters.
Originally, Tony held an industrial expo, mainly to showcase new industrial technologies and inventions to the world. I don’t know what happened, but later on, it gradually changed. Various arms groups began to display large-scale exhibitions at the expo.
Shine brilliantly.
Among them, Osborne Industries, AIM, Hammer Industries, Roxon Corporation, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, L-3 Communications, etc.
Arms giants all launched their new products at this expo.
Even the military is unwilling to be left alone. The Berkeley Military Laboratory led by them has also begun to promote a new type of weapon, a ray weapon.
This situation is definitely not the purpose of Tony's expo, at least not the main purpose.
But for other arms companies, this is a good opportunity for them to showcase themselves.
As for why there is such concentration, the reason is very simple. It is thanks to the current president Benjamin.
Benjamin is a left-wing Democrat. When he was campaigning, he promised to reduce military spending and devote more budget to people's livelihood and economic issues. This was not a big statement, and every presidential candidate would do it anyway.
But Benjamin was different. He began to implement his campaign promises as soon as he came to power.
The US military budget in 2008 was US$607 billion, but this year's budget was cut by US$5 billion! Although military bosses and many members of Congress expressed opposition to this budget, it was a pity that it was useless. After the Iraq War, the United States
The public's trust in the US military has begun to decrease year by year, and too much money has been spent in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The vast majority of Americans have no idea where these two countries are, and even if you give them a map, they can't find them.
More importantly, they only saw the number of casualties and how much the military spent. They did not see the benefits of the war at all. Coupled with the economic crisis, the people were already very, very dissatisfied with the high military expenditures of the US military.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Why did Benjamin become the president as the youngest candidate?
It's not because he caters to the wishes of the vast majority of Americans.
After coming to power, Benjamin's consistently high approval ratings have forced all opponents to stay away from him.
Regardless of the budget compared to hundreds of billions, 5 billion is very small. But please note that this is Benjamin's first year in office, and he still has four years left in office. And if he does well, he is very likely to be re-elected...
Not to mention, those budgets are all owned by someone. If there is a shortfall of 5 billion, then someone must take less.
No one wants their funds cut off.
Arms dealers especially don’t want it. After all, reduced orders not only mean reduced profits, but also mean stock prices will fall! This is the most intolerable. In fact, since Benjamin was sworn in, the stocks of major arms dealers began to slowly but surely
of decline.
Those arms giants began to lobby both houses of Congress in the hope of rejecting the president's budget bill.
But again, Benjamin now represents public opinion. Public opinion hopes to reduce military spending, and it is impossible for those members of the two houses of Congress to really go against public opinion. Although the electoral system of the United States determines that they are governed by elites, the interference of public opinion is not so obvious.
But it’s impossible for them to really not care at all. If there was a universal suffrage system like those in Europe (one person, one vote), military spending would be reduced even more severely.
(You can search the difference between the two on Baidu, it’s very interesting)
Besides, although the U.S. military has great influence, it cannot cover the sky with one hand. They cannot represent the interests of all political forces. Since the military budget has been reduced, it means that others can take more. Naturally, there is a group of people
Stand up and support the president.
So one back and forth led to Benjamin gaining the upper hand and the budget passed.
Now that it is an established fact, we can only think of solutions elsewhere.
How to find a solution?
Of course, they steal it from other people.
So the major arms groups that were originally fighting against the president immediately began to target each other.
This resulted in major arms companies flourishing, bringing out their latest and best products to compete for orders.
At the expo held by Stark himself, he did not prepare much for new weapons, but the other party took advantage of it. It is said that Tony Stark and the Stark Group's board of directors were very unhappy and were trying to find ways to make amends.
But this raises another problem.
The United States has various political factions, and there are many political groups that long for peace and oppose war.
Now that a group of American arms companies have displayed so many destructive weapons, these groups will naturally be unhappy.
So protests began one after another. Of course, the arms bosses didn't care about these protests. Such protests were too common, but the Chicago police couldn't help but care. If any extremists really did something, they would have to take the blame!
