Chapter 1079: Insulting Price, None of It Can Be Traded

call!

Ross took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to curse.

He shouldn't have brought Tony Stark here today. Not only did he fail to calm the situation, but he also made him think about retiring.

If a chain reaction were to occur, the number of the few Avengers the United Nations could control would drop again.

"Gaius." Ross showed a kind smile, "Let's talk about the deal first!"

"Alas!" Aaron sighed softly, "Do you think you can afford the artifact?"

"For Earthlings, artifacts are a vague concept, and there has never been any standard pricing, but the United Nations is willing to offer the highest price it can."

"for example?"

"A billion dollars."

Aaron almost laughed when he heard this.

You want to exchange a magical artifact for one billion US dollars? Are you sure you are not just giving away money to a beggar?

"I feel your sincerity." Aaron said with a calm smile, "The door is over there. Please take care."

"Ahem!" Nick Fury coughed, "S.H.I.E.L.D. can offer 10 billion."

Ross looked at Nick Fury in astonishment and asked awkwardly, "When did the Council become so generous?"

“When it’s time to be generous, the council won’t be stingy.

But I am really surprised by the support of the military for you." Nick Fury said with a smile, Ross is now the Secretary of State, but it is still the military that supports him behind the scenes.

Both SHIELD and the military are determined to obtain Aaron's items. The ownership naturally belongs to the United Nations, and what they are fighting for here is the research rights.

Whoever can get it will have the research rights. This is the tacit understanding between both parties.

I thought I would meet a strong competitor today, but I didn't expect those generals to be as arrogant as ever.

Ross's plan to get something for free made Nick Fury feel that SHIELD didn't need to fight for it at all.

Ross's face was uncertain. If S.H.I.E.L.D. had not participated in the "bidding", the military would not have planned to pay at first.

It is already quite humane not to send you to jail for possessing weapons of destruction.

“Okay.” Aaron clapped his hands, “Sorry, I have no intention of selling those things.

Besides, the price you can offer seems a bit insulting to me, so let’s forget about the deal!”

"We can negotiate the price," Nick Fury said immediately, "but those things are really not suitable for you to keep in your hands. No one will feel at ease."

"Yes." Ross said seriously, "We know those things are your personal belongings, but they are too destructive.

If an ordinary person hides a nuclear bomb at home, the police, agents, and soldiers will arrest him immediately.

Why? Because this person could endanger the lives of thousands of people at any time, and those things are even more powerful than nuclear bombs. "

"You mean, if I don't sell the stuff to you, someone will come and arrest me?"

"no..."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Nick Fury was interrupted by Ross before he could finish his words.

Damn Fuck!

If you threaten him, at least consider the situation!

This is not the United Nations, nor is it a military base.

Nick Fury looked at Ross with a confused expression, and at the same time, he was curtly greeting his ancestors in his heart.

“Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean that.

SHIELD prefers to solve the problem in a gentle way. "Nick Fury immediately stated his position, "You are SHIELD's exclusive pharmacist. If you agree to the deal, SHIELD will definitely not let you suffer any loss. If you disagree, you can talk slowly. In fact, bargaining is sometimes an art."

"Director Fury, your attitude is really...sincere!" Aaron gave him a thumbs up and suppressed the curse words that he wanted to say. "But I still have to disappoint you. I definitely won't sell those things."

"I wouldn't sell it even if it was me." Tony interrupted, "That's why there's only one Iron Man in the world. Rhodes doesn't count. He's War Machine."

“I’m different from you, I really can’t sell those things.

You must have seen the battle scenes in Siberia more than once, and you know exactly what is valuable. "Aaron counted on his fingers, "The armor of the immortal god, the ice box, the sniper rifle, the motorcycle supersonic, Wei Zheng's jar, the holy dragon, and the phoenix, there are only seven."

"Yes! It's hard to imagine that one person could possess all these treasures at the same time." Everett laughed dryly, "No one would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes."

“I spent a huge amount of money to buy the Immortal God’s armor. In this era of rampant supernatural powers, this armor is my reliance for self-protection.

I don’t want to die someday because of a natural disaster or man-made calamity, so I definitely can’t sell this life-saving item.”

"Where did you buy it?" Ross asked suspiciously, "No one on Earth would sell artifacts, right?"

"Asgard has the Rainbow Bridge, and I happen to have some friendship with Asgard's Prince Thor Odinson. Once he took me to see the largest auction in the universe." Aaron said half-truthfully. Anyway, these people had no way to verify it.

"You mean you bought a divine weapon at an auction with Earth's currency?" Ross sneered. "That's ridiculous. So ridiculous."

"Can you please listen to what I'm saying?" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly. "That auction was held by my friend Slytherin. I bought this artifact from him at a very low price."

"This is even more ridiculous. You still have friends like this?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask Thor when he comes back."

Ross was skeptical and could only rule out the Undead God's armor first, "What about the Ice Box?"

"That was given to me by the God King Odin. He is not dead yet?

I dare to give you the Ice Box, do you dare to accept it?

Don't forget, Asgard also has Heimdall, who has both eyes and can monitor the nine realms."

Ross: ...

He didn't know whether Odin would be angry or not, but he certainly couldn't stop his anger.

"Be realistic, Secretary of State." Nick Fury gave Ross a look of disdain. He had not set his sights on those two artifacts from the beginning. He would consider the trip worthwhile if he could get one or two of them.

"Let's talk about your alchemical weapon!"

"Demon hunting, that won't work either, that's my ancestral heritage."

"Your ancestral sniper rifle?" Tony said speechlessly, "Don't tell such an outrageous joke!

That gun's range, accuracy, and power far exceed the current technological level of mankind."

"Even if you're making up a lie, at least make it more reliable!" Hill was speechless, "No one sitting here is a fool."

“But it is truly an heirloom of my family. Arge Gaius made this thermal weapon himself, and after generations of improvements, it became the Demon Hunter you see today.

And the blood of Gaius was incorporated into its forging process. It can be very powerful in my hands, but in other people's hands it is no more than a fire stick."

Everyone:......

This lie sounds pretty damn real.

"Then, where is the motorcycle!" Everett asked with a twitch of his mouth.

Aaron spread his hands, "That's not something I can decide."

"What do you mean?" Ross asked in confusion, "Isn't it yours?"

"The problem is that it's alive and has its own consciousness."

"Artificial intelligence?" Tony asked in surprise, "Don't tell me you've studied it, too. Or can alchemy do this?"

“That’s not the case. It’s just that when I was transforming it with alchemy, I added some treasures from mechanical civilization, and it awakened its self-awareness.

So it is willing to be my car, but that doesn't mean it is willing to be yours.

Even if I give it to you, it will be able to escape."

"It can't run away." Ross said lightly.

“That’s not necessarily true. It can travel in outer space. Can you catch it in outer space?

Even if you can stop it on Earth, it has the ability to self-destruct, and as for its power... it's hard to say."

"Haha!" Ross was so angry that he laughed. At this point he was 100% sure that Aaron was making a fuss and was unwilling to hand the things over to them.

"What about Wei Zheng's jar?" Everett asked.

“That thing can be sold.”

"Ok?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, some of them couldn't believe what they heard.

"Are you sure you can sell it?" Nick Fury asked tentatively.

"Of course I can sell it. It's worth 10 billion. How can I miss such a huge fortune?"

"It sounds like Wei Zheng's jar isn't worth that much!" Tony thought, "Isn't it just an ordinary jar?"

“You can’t say that, it’s an antique, and it has a history of more than a thousand years.

But if you are lucky enough, you might be able to find this kind of bargain at a street stall."

"Really?" Hill's face twitched, and he said in disbelief, "You didn't buy it at a street stall, did you?"

"I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense."

Aaron directly denied the three allegations. As for what they would think, it was none of his business.

Wei Zheng's jar definitely cannot be sold. He spent 500 magic points to buy this magical tool with sealing function. But I guess they don't think much of this thing.

"Do you want to buy it?" Aaron looked at Nick Fury expectantly, as if he was looking at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. "It can be bought for only 10 billion."

Nick Fury's forehead was dotted with black lines. "Does every jar of Wei Zheng have the function of sealing demons?"

“Then I don’t know, but the prerequisite for sealing the devil is to defeat the devil.

If the demon is not defeated, Wei Zheng's jar will be nothing more than a decoration."

"Do you want to buy it or not? I can sell it at a lower price."

“Haha! You should ask the Secretary of State!

He is older and might be interested in antiques.”

"You don't know what's good." Aaron rolled his eyes at him and turned to look at Ross. "One billion dollars, and Wei Zheng's jar is yours."

"Ten dollars, sell it if you want." Ross had a look of disdain on his face. He would have to be out of his mind to spend one billion dollars of military funds to buy a useless broken jar.

"Another one who doesn't know what's good." Aaron snorted coldly and continued, "The remaining ones are Abe and Fox, that is, the Holy Dragon and the Phoenix."

"Abe, if someone wants to buy you from me..."

Roar!

Abe immediately jumped out of Wanda's arms, stretched out his claws with a cold glow, and growled at the people opposite him.

Ross and the others were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. They had all seen the horror of Abe's true form, and a sneeze could burn them to ashes.

“You see, when I sell it to you, there can only be one outcome.

If it kills you in a rage and then flies back to me to admit its mistake, I will most likely forgive it."

"As for Fox...I guess it's about the same."

"So, nothing can be traded?" Everett rubbed his temple tiredly. "Mr. Gaius, I hate to say this, but you're making it very difficult for us!"

"I can't do anything about it, but this is the situation." Aaron spread his hands bluntly, "Why don't you buy back Wei Zheng's jar?

Ten billion US dollars. There are six of you on your side, and we have Jane, Wanda... and Abe on our side, so we can split it equally.

I'll take a small loss, and earning 400 million is enough."

"This doesn't seem like a disadvantage! Embezzling public money will lead to jail time."

Nick Fury subconsciously touched his nose, always feeling that Everett was implying something, but he had no evidence.

"These things can't be traded, so what about the others?" Hill picked up the tablet again and projected a new picture into the air. The protagonist of this video was Carter Slay, who was wearing a cowboy hat and had gray hair. The location seemed to be a relatively empty ruins.

Carter Slay walked in with a few people. As they were brushing off the dust on their bodies, a hair-raising friction sound appeared around them.

A zombie crawled out from the darkness, blocked the exit, and let out a low roar at them.

"Fuck!" Carter Slay cursed and immediately called on others to come closer to him.

"You destroyed the altar of the great son of hell." The zombie seemed to have evolved wisdom, and said in a hoarse voice: "You should be punished..."

"The punishment of death." Carter Slay interrupted impatiently, "Can't you come up with something fresh and new?"

"Tear them apart." The zombies let out a long howl, and dozens of rotten corpses hanging in the air seemed to come alive and pounced on Carter Slay and others like a pack of hungry wolves.

"I'm so unlucky this time." Carter Slay complained and quickly took out a purple devil mask from his bag and put it on his face.

"Tear them up."

Carter Slay's voice rose a few notches and became a little more hoarse.

As his words fell, black shadows rose from the ground, and dozens of black shadow soldiers with slender bodies and hands like sharp blades were summoned.

Then there was a one-sided massacre. The soldiers of the Thorn Blade Regiment swung their sharp claws at a rapid speed and tore all the corpses, including the zombies, into pieces in less than ten seconds.

The extremely bloody scene made several people's scalps tingle, and the pregnant woman Pepper almost vomited.

Hill turned off the video and said, "This was sent to me by a SHIELD agent a few days ago. He had the honor of following the Archbishop of the Shadow Holy Court to participate in an operation to destroy the demon altar.

You should be able to see that these shadow soldiers were summoned by Carter Slay through the ghost mask, and Aaron Gaius has also used such a mask before. "

Aaron:......
