Chapter 1080: Gaius's Treasures, the Disruptive Inheritance System

"I wonder if you can explain it to us, Mr. Gaius?" Ross looked at Aaron with a smile and asked, "Why is the Ghost Mask in the hands of the Holy See?"

Click! Click!

Aaron blinked in confusion, "I can only tell you that this is a deal, a serious deal, nothing dirty at all."

"What's the deal?" Ross asked aggressively, "Why did you make a deal with the Holy See?"

He would rather trade with the Holy See than with them. Isn't this looking down on people?

"Why should I tell you?"

"Of course you have the right to remain silent, but..." Everett said embarrassedly, "It seems that there is nothing you can't say!"

Aaron shrugged and looked at Ross playfully. "If I want Wanda to retire peacefully, I have to find a suitable guarantor for her. Why do you think the God of Contracts would personally draw up that contract?"

"Is it because of the ghost mask?" Ross asked in surprise.

“The God of Contract is the ruler of shadows. The Ghost Mask is related to shadows and can enhance His authority. Of course He will not refuse.

Having accepted the offerings from the believers, it is only natural to help them solve some trivial problems!"

Hearing this, Ross felt as if billions of horses were galloping through his heart, and Nick Fury and others were speechless.

He handed over the ghost mask for a contract. Is that too generous?

Wanda was smiling from ear to ear. Although she knew that Aaron was the God of Contract, she still felt very sweet in her heart.

"How many masks did you give to the Holy See?" Hill asked.

"All of them." Aaron said very straightforwardly, "The ghost mask is not without side effects. Most people can't control it at all. If you don't take off the mask in time, your soul will be swallowed by darkness.

For this reason, even though the Ghost Mask has magical powers, I dare not use it too much.

It’s not only risky in itself, but it’s also easy to attract coveted attention.”

“But exchanging them for a contract is different. I get rid of the hot potato, Wanda can retire smoothly, and the God of the Contract can increase his power.

More importantly, Wanda and I have caught the eye of the God of Contract and have been given the opportunity to enter His Kingdom of God."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Tony clapped his hands and gave Aaron a thumbs-up.

"No wonder you have the confidence to land Wanda smoothly, you are really amazing!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Aaron waved his hand and said, "Actually, I still feel a little distressed. After all, the Ghost Mask is a rare treasure.

But that's how life is. You can't be stingy when you need to be generous."

“So I’m sorry, Agent Hill.

I don’t have a single pair of the ghost mask you want.”

Hill: ...

"It doesn't matter. You have more than one or two items anyway."

"Hmm!" Aaron raised his eyebrows, as if he understood what she meant, "Are you here for my treasures?"

"You can't say that." Nick Fury said with a little embarrassment, "You showed your god-like ability in Siberia this time, that's why we are here.

Let’s not talk about the equipment you took out in the battle, but your other collections need to be registered, otherwise many people will not feel at ease.”

“Just registering?”

"Of course not." Ross said coldly, "It still needs to be appraised and judged by us. If the appraisal results show that your collection will pose a threat to society, the United Nations will buy it at a suitable price."

"It's different when you're an official!" Aaron said nonchalantly, "Don't you feel embarrassed that you can make such a high-sounding statement about plundering and robbery?"

"This is an order from above." Everett explained reluctantly, "It was a decision made by all parties after discussion. Several hawkish generals originally planned to send troops here, but in view of your previous performance, such as flying a plane to drop a nuclear bomb into the space wormhole of the Chitauri army, rescuing civilians in Sokovia, and helping S.H.I.E.L.D. to pacify..."

"Cough cough!"

Nick Fury coughed and gave Everett a meaningful look.

Everyone knows that SHIELD was infiltrated by Hydra, but if you say it out loud, you're just being ignorant.

Everett's face twitched, and he continued from the heart: "In short, Mr. Gaius, you have made a lot of contributions to world peace, so I decided to use a relatively gentle method.

You can rest assured that the price we can offer will definitely not disappoint you, and in exchange you can also get some privileges, the privileges of the Avengers before signing the Sokovia Accords. "

"That's very beautiful and honest of you, Mr. Everett.

If you don't die in the future, you will definitely be able to survive." Aaron said with emotion, and then looked at Ross, "I do have some other collections, I can register them, but I won't accept transactions."

"Do you think..."

"Register first!" Nick Fury interrupted immediately.

He didn't understand why the military sent Ross as a representative. They were here for peace talks, but Ross seemed to be fanning the flames...

Holy shit! Is Rose really here to stir up trouble?

This idea suddenly popped into Nick Fury's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Ross has now become Secretary of State, but his connections and influence in the military have not disappeared; on the contrary, his status is even higher than before.

If he succeeds in fanning the flames, the army will have a suitable reason to intervene, and everything they want will become military spoils.

Aaron did show his strong strength in Siberia, but no matter how strong he is, he is still a human being and cannot compete with an army.

Thinking of this, Nick Fury secretly glanced at Ross, and seeing that he looked calm and composed, he became more certain of his guess.

Holy shit! I thought he would be more restrained after becoming Secretary of State, but he is even more arrogant than before.

"Huh!" Aaron took a deep breath, gently stroked the space ring on his left hand, took out one collection after another, and soon filled the table.

"Is that all?" Ross asked doubtfully. "Agent Hill told me that you seem to have a secret room here!"

"You really say everything!" Aaron gave Hill a disdainful look, "Everything you are interested in is here. As for the secret room, it is not convenient for outsiders to visit."

"What do you mean by inconvenient?"

"The remaining items in the secret room are all related to my family. They are truly personal belongings." Aaron emphasized the word "personal belongings". Everyone immediately understood and Ross stopped asking questions.

"Please introduce them!" Nick Fury said tiredly, and then looked at Hill, "Agent Hill, you take notes."

"Okay, sir."

"A book of prophecies." Aaron picked up an ancient book with an old man's face printed on the cover. "It makes predictions from time to time. Some are big, some are small. They may not be related to me, but their accuracy is unquestionable."

"Master, there is a new prophecy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the face on the prophecy book made a hoarse voice.

"Wait a mininute."

Aaron gave everyone an apologetic smile, then opened the book of prophecy and found the prophecy for today.

Just a glance and his expression changed subtly.

The prophecy was just a simple sentence: Stephen Strange would be in a car accident in the near future, leaving both of his hands disabled.

But it was extremely important to Aaron, and it even made him want to laugh out loud three times.

Who is Stephen Strange? The next Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One must have used the Time Stone to observe his fate and must be very concerned about him.

Strange was just an ordinary person before he came into contact with magic, and he could control it in minutes.

Controlling Strange is equivalent to controlling the Ancient One, and then he will be able to make some fair deals with Kamar-Taj.

When it comes to his successor, Gu Yi will definitely not refuse.

Snapped!

Aaron closed the book of prophecy as if nothing had happened, and then met several pairs of curious eyes.

"What's the prophecy?" Tony couldn't help but ask.

"Don't think too much about it. It has nothing to do with you." Aaron cleverly changed the subject and introduced the next item, "Gaius Compass, which can point to what is in a person's heart."

“What does it mean to point to what is in a person’s heart?”

Ross grasped the key point keenly, and an imperceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.

“Whatever you think about, the compass will point to that.

For example, it can find the account books of corruption and bribery of political enemies, wanted criminals hiding their identities, mineral veins that have not yet been explored, aliens hidden on Earth, relics of ancient gods, and even the perfect person that a daughter can entrust to. "

Ross swallowed unconsciously, and his heart beat faster.

This compass is his shortcut to climb up. Its value is beyond even the divine weapon, so he must get it at all costs.

"But the compass is not omnipotent." Aaron poured a glass of cold water on Ross's heart. "First of all, the compass is very fragile. A slight bump may cause it to malfunction."

It doesn’t matter. I will definitely protect this treasure.

Ross clenched his fists and thought, in his opinion, this compass has changed its name to Ross.

"Secondly, the compass also has its limits. You can't use it to search for people or things that are too outrageous."

"That's understandable." Tony laughed. "If you can find everything, it would be too outrageous."

"In the end, it can only be used by Gaius."

"What did you say?" Ross suddenly couldn't hold back. "It can only be used by Gaius? Are you serious?"

"It's just a joke, don't mind it!" Aaron joked, "I just saw that you were tense, so I wanted to relax the atmosphere."

call!

Ross breathed a sigh of relief and quickly calmed down, "Gaius, it's better not to make such jokes."

Aaron nonchalantly introduced the next item: a pair of golden, vintage bracelets.

“The bracelet of the Shiva Temple, wearing it will grow two extra arms.

You may misjudge its value by saying this, but imagine if Hulk wore it..."

"That would be a disaster," Ross said with a dark face.

"This is the emerald of Jilani. The owner will be plagued by bad luck and even drinking cold water will cause his teeth to get stuck."

"Excuse me, but are you the owner of it?" Everett asked.

"Uh... that's not important." Aaron coughed lightly and continued to introduce: "This ring is the flower of blood. The wearer can control his own flesh and blood at a deeper level. As long as he doesn't die directly, he can recover even if he is shot in the heart.

But there are also very serious negative effects, such as losing control, giving up thinking, losing reason, and becoming a walking corpse relying only on instinct..."

After Aaron finished his introduction, Ross and the others took a while to come back to their senses.

"Where did you get so many treasures?" Tony asked in surprise, "Most people are very lucky to get one or two, but yours... is a bit outrageous."

“As the world’s top alchemist, regeneration master, and fortune teller, you have no idea how much effort and suffering I have put in behind the scenes.

I inherited my teacher's legacy step by step, steadily and diligently, and that's why I have these collections."

Everyone:......

You sound so inspiring, but it turns out you are following the inheritance system!

"Ahem!" Ross coughed and looked at the pile of magical items on the table, especially the compass that held great attraction for him. "How much do you plan to sell these things for?"

"Didn't I say that before?

I just registered it and have no intention of selling it to the outside world.”

"That's not up to you." Ross sneered and shook his head, and simply laid his cards on the table. "These things are extremely important. No one would feel safe if they were in the hands of one person."

"You can refer to the Avengers." Ross pointed at Tony Stark, "No matter how much they have contributed to protecting the world in the past, the government will not turn a blind eye when there is a threat to the world.

Stark is a qualified superhero. He knows that superheroes need to be regulated, so he took the lead in signing the Sokovia Accords. "

"I'm planning to retire." Tony said slowly.

"Of course, you have a legitimate reason and you can retire at any time." Ross smiled, then looked at Aaron meaningfully, "You can make the right choice, right?"

"Oh!" Aaron seemed to understand something and said with a disdainful smile: "Are you planning to use courtesy first and then force?"

Ross sighed lightly and said noncommittally, "We are all trying our best to avoid conflict, so we hope you make the right choice."

"That..." Nick Fury interrupted, "I have to explain that SHIELD didn't mean that."

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you and the Secretary of State came here together with the same purpose."

"But SHIELD has no intention of using force." Nick Fury said hurriedly, fearing that Aaron would misunderstand.

Aaron laughed, "I may disappoint you, Secretary of State.

I would have made a bad choice and I wouldn’t have sold any of these things.”

"Are you sure?" Ross frowned and said earnestly, "If I were you, I would compromise. Accepting the rules of this world is the only way to live a stable life."
