This brutal battle in New York lasted for nearly a day, and the appearance of aliens and an army of mobile undead shocked the whole world.
Afterwards, statistics showed that the casualty rate of the National Guard participating in the war exceeded 70%, and tens of thousands of people died in the war. The high-priced pensions alone had already brought the relevant personnel of the New York government to the verge of collapse.
You must know that after each soldier is killed in action, the government not only has to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in one lump sum, but the soldiers' wives and children will also receive subsidies every month just like they receive wages, and this will last until their death.
Not to mention the post-war reconstruction costs, which were astronomical.
As soon as the battle ended, countless real estate developers, insurance personnel, etc. jumped directly from the roof because they were completely bankrupt.
Although they did not die at the hands of aliens, they had lost hope of survival and chose to commit suicide. Otherwise, when they went bankrupt, they would be even more uncomfortable than death.
On the contrary, stocks such as medical, funeral and burial began to rise crazily, and it seemed that they would not fall in price for a long time. This allowed Levi, who was prepared in advance, to make a profit.
Cool.
With the funds he has now, if he wants, he can open a company of his own and name it the Reinstein Group or something.
In this battle, humans realized their own weakness for the first time.
Whether it is the Chitauri, the Vanguard, or the movable corpses and skeletons that appear later, they can often kill well-trained soldiers easily, but the human counterattack against them seems so weak.
But despite this, people have not lost hope, because two organizations called the Avengers and the Justice League, which represent the extraordinary power possessed by mankind, stepped forward at critical moments.
Some of them are superheroes who have already become famous during World War II, some are former playboys, some are rich second-generation people who have newly put on their war uniforms, some are mysterious people with almost magical superpowers, and some are just ordinary people.
It just has the ability to command mechanical creations.
But now they all have a common title, that is, they are the superheroes who saved New York and even the United States!
Almost overnight, the people started to worship these superheroes extremely enthusiastically, not only in New York, which was invaded by aliens, but also quickly expanded to all parts of the world. All exhibitors, including Levi, gained
Massive fans.
And because of the appearance of a video, he came first, replacing Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man and others, and became the most anticipated superhero.
In the video, it is clear that he transforms into a black dragon and sweeps across the battlefield with a heroic gesture. The three-minute long video clearly shows his powerful strength. It is not known which guy who is not afraid of death filmed it at the scene.
In addition, Justin Hammer clearly stated in the interview that he was the founder of the Justice League, which directly raised his reputation to the highest point.
Fortunately, he wore a mask throughout the whole process and looked extremely mysterious. The public did not know his true identity, otherwise the Osborne Group would have been overwhelmed by the surging flow of people the next day.
A large number of businesses were keenly aware of the business opportunities, and they immediately began to announce their plans to manufacture superhero-related peripherals, and soon won a large number of orders.
However, they did not dare to go too far. They claimed that they would return part of the profits to the superheroes in order to thank them for their efforts in serving the United States.
But this is just a nice thing to say. In fact, it is because they do not dare to monopolize the benefits. They are actually forced to pay for the right to use the image under pressure.
Because among these superheroes, several also have another identity, that is, they are billionaires who also have powerful resources.
Stark Industries, Osborn Group, and Hammer Military Industries are all behemoths with assets in the tens of billions, and they are also companies engaged in arms and energy. How can these toy manufacturers dare to mess with them?
This actually made Levi feel quite interesting, because he soon heard Harry talk about this matter. Those merchants did not just verbally declare in the news, they indeed planned to pay.
Perhaps, in the future, we can actively find a few businesses to cooperate and use this as a welfare option for the Justice League. At least Wonder Man will never mind using this method to make extra money!
But now he doesn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters. There is no need for him to worry, Justine will take care of everything.
Since being in the news that day as the spokesperson of the Justice League, she is now very motivated, and it is foreseeable that her enthusiasm will last for a long, long time.
Everyone in the Justice League has begun to have superpowers. Just think about it and you will know that if she works hard enough and proves the value of her existence, Levi's generosity will not let her work in vain, right?
Taking some of the alien items harvested in the Battle of New York, Levi came to one of the laboratories of the Osborne Group. This was something he and Harry had agreed upon.
Although the Justice League Dark took advantage of the chaos and harvested a lot of things, there is no point in just putting them in the warehouse. They need to localize these things and transform them into weapons that can be produced with their technology, so as to maximize their profits.
Otherwise, when the energy in the Chitauri's energy guns is used up, their value will drop significantly.
Although Levi is also communicating with relevant departments, especially SHIELD, saying that he can form a special garbage cleaning company to deal with the aliens' garbage.
It’s just that we haven’t received a clear affirmative reply yet, because Tony Stark, that chicken thief, took action first. He took a step ahead of Levi and established a Damage Control Bureau with the federal government to supervise and control, and collect
And storage of alien items, damage control, referred to as dc.
So Levi changed his mind. He said that Osborne Group and Hammer Military Industries would join forces to establish an organization dedicated to cleaning up superheroes, or the mess left by super villains like Loki and the Green Goblin.
company, so that it won't compete with Iron Man for business, and it can also steal some meat from this alien incident.
Although Li Wei felt that even if it was for his own sake, the one-eyed dragon would not reject him in the end, he couldn't be too sure about the time.
So after a simple discussion, Osborne Group and Hammer Military Industries will jointly invest in and study the existing things on hand. However, their number is still not enough. Harry is looking for a solution.
.
If the old Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus were still there, of course there wouldn't be this problem, but they are both crazy now and are being secretly detained by S.H.I.E.L.D., so they really can't help at all.
Levi has other options, which is to find that stinky Iron Man or S.H.I.E.L.D. With the resources of both of them, solving this problem is definitely not a big problem.
But if they did that, the initiative would no longer be in their hands. If the other party ate meat, they would probably be able to drink some soup, so Li Wei finally gave up the idea.
However, after Levi came to the laboratory with his things, as soon as he entered the door, he saw clearly the appearance of several people in the room, especially one of them whose hairline was even more receding than Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D.
, and since he also had a man with a hooked nose, he knew that he probably didn't need to worry about this matter.
As expected, Harry greeted Levi first, and then introduced him enthusiastically: "This is Mr. Adrian Toombs, and his team members: Phineas Mason, He
Man Schultz, Jackson Bryce and Randy Weir."
Then Harry quickly added in Levi's ear: "Mr. Toomes is Liz's father."
Liz is Harry's current girlfriend.
Levi nodded slightly. In fact, he might know the other party better than Harry, because in the parallel world, with the various gadgets of the Chitauri, the other party may later become one of Spider-Man's villains.
A vulture!
Although the people standing behind him look quite downcast, they are not ordinary people. Tinker and Thriller are also Spider-Man's little villains.
But isn't Liz's full name Liz Allen? Could it be that she takes her mother's surname? Otherwise, she should have thought of a vulture.
After a few polite words, probably because of Liz, the other party's attitude was also very friendly, and they quickly got to the point.
As expected, their small team was specially recruited by Harry to study the things left behind by aliens, and they had all agreed to join the Osborn Group.
Although they all have some real abilities, except for Vulture himself, who is an electronic engineer, the others are basically self-taught. Some of them have not even graduated from high school. It is not easy to find serious jobs in the United States.
high salary job.
To put it simply, they were not willing to go to the positions they were interested in, and they were unwilling to go to the ones that wanted them. In addition, except for the vultures, the brothers were all very poor, so they were always in a state of poverty, and their abilities were also low.
No performance whatsoever.
Now the famous Osborne Group has taken the initiative to invite them. Not only is the reward generous, but it also promises that there will be a lot of alien things for them to study. What can they not be happy about?
What's more, even based on the relationship between Liz and Harry, they believed that Harry would not lie to them casually!
Li Wei naturally welcomed their joining.
In the original world, just a few of them, relying on some things they picked up on the street, successfully developed the vulture's equipment and terrifying gloves, which caused great harm to a certain version of Spider-Man.
s damage.
Now that Levi has enough alien items, Harry will use all the strength of the Osborne Group to support their work, and their future achievements will definitely be higher.
And there is absolutely no need to embark on the road of crime. Harry is still very generous, and there is someone in there who may become his old father-in-law, so he is even less likely to be stingy.
Vulture seems to have a mantra that family is the most important. As long as Harry doesn't break up with Liz, it's almost impossible for him to abandon his son-in-law.
But, has Harry completely given up on his pursuit of Justine? Has he finally realized that the two of them are not players at the same level?
When Levi mentioned this issue, Harry couldn't help but smile bitterly and said that Liz had experienced nausea and retching two days ago. He didn't know if she was pregnant. She had gone to the hospital for a checkup and was waiting for the results.
If it is the result they imagined, then their wedding will be put on the agenda soon. Before the marriage, everyone can have fun, but if they really get married, he will definitely remain loyal to the marriage.
Li Wei could only express his blessings to this. No wonder his expression when he saw the vulture just now was a bit wrong. The corners of his mouth were always raised, as if he wanted to laugh but was holding back.
He originally thought that the other party was so happy because he could come to the Osborne Group to develop. After all, the research environment and salary here were much better than he was before.
But now it seems that this old man is probably so excited because he knows that he is going to be a grandfather, right?
Well, at first glance, it was clear that Justine was a woman that Harry could not control.
However, the Osborn Group has already included the Old Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Lizard, and Electro, and now Harry has recruited several of them over, plus his own Justice League Dark...
If there wasn't a Justice League there to show off, Levi would have doubted whether he was more suitable to become a super villain. Look at these people, the Osborn Group has almost developed into a concentration camp for villains!
When Levi patted his friend's shoulder to express congratulations, he found that Harry's expression seemed a little strange. He seemed to want to say something, but was hesitant. This was relatively rare for him.
"What's wrong? Harry?"
After a moment of silence for two seconds, as if he was organizing his words, Harry finally couldn't hold back his curiosity: "Uh, Levi, how are you and your girlfriend doing?"
Levi shrugged: "We've broken up."
He doesn't think there's any need to hide it. Who hasn't fallen out of love?
Although he also felt it was a pity, he later understood Jessica's choice. Even without the magic of that stinky witch, the conflict would break out sooner or later.
After all, this is not a game. There is no setting that after you catch up with your girlfriend, your affection will always be at full value. The other person is a human being with his own thoughts and emotions, not an NPC made up of programs and numerical values!
"Sorry bro, but you deserve better. What do you think of Justine?"
