Chapter 1040: The pinnacle of life that is hard to replicate, Ge Er's story

Coming out of the restaurant, Aaron and Carter Slay went to the conference room together.

Nick Fury put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at the two speechlessly, "The gate of hell is opened, and countless demons are wreaking havoc on the world.

You two are just so good, eating when you are supposed to, sleeping when you are supposed to, isn't this too good of a mentality?"

"I'm just a civilian holding a pumpkin. Maintaining world peace is the job of those superheroes. It has nothing to do with me." Aaron straightened his chest without any embarrassment, demonstrating the meaning of "minding one's own business" to the fullest.

"I took on the responsibility of maintaining world peace more than 150 years ago." Carter Slay said confidently, "At that time, not only you, but even your grandfather and your grandfather's grandfather were not born yet!"

“I have worked for world peace for more than a century, and now I am finally retired. Am I not even allowed to take a good rest?

Now, to deal with demons, you have to find Johnny Blaze, he is the Ghost Rider."

Nick Fury was almost so angry that he laughed, and could only curse in his heart, "Fuck you!"

One of these two guys was extremely shameless, and the other was taking advantage of his seniority. He really had no way of dealing with them for the time being.

"When will Ger arrive?" Aaron asked with interest.

"About twenty minutes, but Rose came with him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened again, and Steve walked in with Natasha, Banner, Rhodes and other Avengers members.

"Aaron, why are you here?" Wanda happily came up to Aaron and directly occupied the seat next to him, leaving everyone else speechless.

"I didn't want to come, but I couldn't resist someone's invitation!" Aaron said, "Right! Director Fury?"

Nick Fury had a few more black lines on his forehead and remained silent.

"I thought you came here specially to see me!"

"I saw it." Aaron sighed with some resentment, and then pointed at the big screen on the wall, "The scene where you tore the devil apart with your bare hands, wasn't it very exciting?"

Wanda's expression froze, and Aaron's usual teachings suddenly emerged in her mind. She felt guilty, "I have tried my best to step back and not rush to the front."

"That's not the point. The point is, why would a newbie like you join in the fun of such a big event?"

"Wanda is not a novice, her performance is remarkable." Steve stood up and said something fair, "If it weren't for her, our defense might not have been able to hold up."

"So I still have to encourage her, right? Like you, she should lead the charge and not be afraid of getting hurt or bleeding?"

"That's not necessary." Wanda said weakly.

"Haha!" Aaron tapped her forehead and said unhappily, "You are free to do whatever you want. I can't stop you, but this kind of battle is too dangerous."

"This time it happened suddenly."

"You don't have to explain. I understand, really." Aaron said half-jokingly, "And I'm sure that after this time, there will be a next time, and the next time."

"I..." Wanda opened her mouth, but stopped herself from speaking.

"Aaron, you should know that with great power comes great responsibility..."

Before he could even utter the word "big", Aaron glanced at him sharply, "Rogers, is this your first day meeting me?

You should save your big principles for fooling those high school students! I guarantee that I will fool them every time.”

Steve's eye twitched, "That's the truth."

“You were a soldier, you fought in World War II, you have a spirit of sacrifice and dedication.

But forgive me for asking you a very simple but impolite question. How did you feel when Sergeant Barnes broke his arm and fell off the cliff? "

Steve was suddenly speechless, feeling inexplicably upset.

"Now do you understand why I don't want her to do something so dangerous?"

Steve nodded with difficulty, "I understand."

"We've criticized what needs to be criticized, now it's time to get down to business!" Natasha smoothed things over and sat down. "Fury, do you have anything to say to us before that guest comes?"

Nick Fury shrugged, opened his tablet and projected two videos onto the screen.

"First, I want to introduce a weapon to you." Nick Fury pointed at the enlarged black sniper rifle on the screen, "Does it look familiar?"

"Is it necessary to bring this up?" Wanda asked unnaturally.

"There are still a few people here who don't know. I have to let them know how... unreasonable alchemists are."

"I'm still here!" Aaron rolled his eyes at him. "Chief Fury, you'd better be more polite."

"Personally, I think I've been polite enough." Nick Fury didn't care and fast-forwarded the video to the scene where Carter Slay shot and smashed the demon body of the Witch Heart Demon, as well as a hill behind.

boom!

Looking at the explosion scene, Steve, Rod, and Natasha couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling. Even Banner and Wanda, who watched it for the second time, couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.

"This is more than unreasonable!" Rhodes gasped in disbelief, "This is simply outrageous!"

"This thing..." Natasha pointed at the Demon Hunter in a daze, "One shot should be able to destroy the Chitauri warship, right?"

"Be more confident, and remove the word 'should'." Banner said with a wry smile, "Even if it is ten times larger than the Chitauri warship, the Demon Hunter can still destroy it."

"Aaron, this weapon..." Steve asked hesitantly, "It shouldn't be mass-produced, right?"

Nick Fury's eyes suddenly lit up. This was exactly the question he wanted to ask.

If it can be mass-produced, SHIELD will have to sell everything it has to buy a batch.

This is a powerful weapon! Its deterrent capability is even greater than that of a nuclear bomb.

"Go back and have a good sleep. You can dream about anything."

"No way?" Nick Fury asked with a sense of loss.

“Nonsense, of course not.

Each part of the Demon Hunter is forged with extremely precious materials, some of which cannot be found on Earth. In addition, there are special runes connecting the parts to each other.

As for the grenade launcher you saw, it is powered by five energy crystals of different attributes and a Druid Stone, otherwise it would not be so powerful, and it can only be used once in a short period of time. "Aaron introduced seriously, "It is the pinnacle of life, and it is the kind that is difficult to replicate."

"What if there are enough materials?" Nick Fury asked without giving up. It's not like he is without alien friends, such as Thor and the Skrulls... At worst, he could ask Captain Marvel to come back. As long as he could get a batch of such weapons in return, it would be a profit.

"That won't work either." Aaron refused without hesitation, "I don't have that much energy to build such a complicated weapon. Besides, why should I help you do it?"

Nick Fury paused, and said, "I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear. The power of the demon hunter is too strong. I suggest..."

"Or should we give it to SHIELD for safekeeping?" Aaron said with a half-smile, "Is that what you want to say?"

"Uh...it's just registered under the name of SHIELD, but the right to use it is still yours."

"Forget it, Fury." Natasha held her forehead and shook her head speechlessly, "Your calculations have hit me in the face. It's not that you don't understand him. He won't agree."

Aaron spread his hands. "If I remember correctly, SHIELD seemed to have been infiltrated by Hydra, and most of the alchemical bullets I made seemed to be used by them."

Nick Fury: ...

Holy shit! Is it really necessary to poke someone in the lungs like this? How can we continue this conversation?

"Ahem!" Nick Fury pretended to be calm and switched to the next video. "Let's take a look at this! This is the most important thing."

"cut!"

Everyone's expressions became extremely exciting as they watched the video of Lucifer confronting Heaven, the shadow of the Tree of Omniscience appearing, forcing Gaius to send out his agent Gel, and finally the Sorcerer Supreme appearing to take Gel away.

Aaron found that everyone's eyes were unconsciously on him, and he felt uncomfortable again, "Why are you looking at me?

Nick Fury can attest that I have nothing to do with the Gaius that Lucifer is looking for.

I was standing next to him when it happened!

Besides, I have only left the Earth a few times, so how could I possibly train my subordinates outside of the Earth?

Most importantly, I drew a tube of blood to prove my innocence.”

“Fury, you must have asked a professional to test my blood sample.

Come, tell them the test results generously. "

"Blood type O. If the doctors of SHIELD had not been bribed, Aaron Gaius would be an ordinary person."

"Did you hear everything? I'm so sorry to disappoint you."

"I'm not disappointed, but I'm a little surprised," said Natasha.

"Indeed, this is such a coincidence." Banner also said, "You are Gaius, an alchemist, a pharmacist, a fortune teller, a regenerationist... These professions basically have nothing to do with ordinary people."

"Now you know that I am innocent, but my excellence has given you some illusions."

Everyone:......

"When will Ger arrive?" Steve asked in a deep voice.

Nick Fury was about to speak when he saw a plane slowly landing, "Here it comes."

......

A few minutes later, Coulson pushed open the door of the conference room, and Tony, Ross and Ger followed in.

"There's quite a few people here!" Tony chuckled, unbuttoned his armor and walked out.

“Let me introduce you, this is Ger, Gaius’s agent.

As for the specific name, he was not convenient to say. "Tony said, and then pointed at Aaron, "Let me introduce you, this is Gaius, Aaron Gaius."

"Hello." Gel bowed slightly to show respect.

"Please sit down." Fury made a gesture of invitation, and the others did not act pretentiously. They simply pulled up a chair and sat down, tacitly giving up the seat in the middle of the conference table to Gel.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask!" Geer said generously, "I guess I'll be staying in this base for a while, so don't feel embarrassed."

"How about...introducing yourselves first?" Banner began by throwing out some ideas, as if this was the first time they met.

"My name is Gel, a believer of the God of Contract."

"This is too simple!" Tony shook his head slightly and asked meaningfully: "Can you tell me how you met Gaius?"

Ger nodded hesitantly, "The planet I live on has suffered an unprecedented drought that has led to the extinction of all life. My daughter and I are the last humans.

We are believers of the God of Light. We have devoted our lives to him. Even when we were suffering from hunger and thirst, we never gave up our faith in him because he promised to give us eternal grace. "

"But the God of Light deceived us, deceived his last and most devout believers.

It just so happened that the great God of Contract came to that planet. He let us know the truth and gave us a chance to seek revenge and survive.

With his help, I killed the God of Light and converted to the God of Contract."

"It's a very emotional story." Tony clapped his hands, then changed the subject, "But I'd like to ask, have you ever thought that the God of Contract might be deceiving you?"

"No." Gel smiled and shook his head, "The promises made by my Lord are all fulfilled directly."

"What promise?"

"Take my daughter away from that lifeless planet and let her live happily and healthily." Gel spread his hands calmly, "At that time, both my daughter and I were dying. We had lost our last hope and had nothing left to lose.

If giving her soul can keep her alive, why should I hesitate? "

Tony was speechless for a moment. If he were in their place, he would have made the same choice as Ger.

"Looking at you now, it seems that you are doing well." Carter Slay asked meaningfully. He had just signed the contract, so it was very necessary for him to find out the master's attitude towards his subordinates.

"My master does not interfere in the daily lives of his followers. I have no other duties except to compile a code of laws for him."

"It's quite free." Banner said with some empathy.

“The owner is very kind, very good and very forgiving.

He does not treat his followers as slaves who can be bullied at will, but as employees under him. He will not only not suppress them but will also devote all his efforts to training them. "

"The business model of the company." Tony snapped his fingers, "Gaius is the chairman of the company, and his dependents are his employees.

If there are outstanding talents willing to join Stark, I don't mind spending resources to train them so that they can create better value for Stark."

"Have you ever thought that this is only temporary?" Natasha asked, "Even if he treats his subordinates better now, it can't change the master-servant relationship between you.

Tony, you should be familiar with the practice of firing employees if you don't like them or they are of no use to you!"

"Pepper is the CEO of the company now. I haven't been a boss for a long time." Tony met everyone's playful eyes and smiled awkwardly but politely, "Okay! But every boss has done this kind of thing.

One time, Hammer was in a bad mood and fired a cleaner with a very lame reason, as if stepping in with the left foot first was disrespectful to him.

I am much better than him, and even if I want to fire an employee, I will give him several times the salary or a higher compensation. "

"My lord is different. He will not let his followers do anything that goes against their conscience or morality, nor will he punish his subordinates without reason. This is clearly stipulated in the contract we signed."

After the words fell, everyone looked at each other in shock.

Gaius was definitely not a qualified capitalist, and the conditions for selling himself were a bit too generous.
