Chapter 511 Paxton is going to retire

(The incomplete part of the previous chapter has been repaired, and book friends can go to read the second half)

The news that Stark was going to close the weapons department caused an uproar within the company.

However, after he said that, he disappeared.

Only Pepper was still arranging various tasks in an orderly manner.

Although Luke promised Stark that he would handle Obadiah's affairs himself, he would not relax.

Little Morgan is his goddaughter, so how can Luke be at ease with the only heir to the Stark Group?

So Andy's Immortal Squad was sent out to protect Pepper and Little Morgan in the dark.

Wall-E finally raised 13 little sisters and Jessica, and this time he became a kindergarten nanny.

Little Morgan plays with Wall-E at Luke's house all day.

Although he is only 2 years old, little Morgan can already speak complete sentences.

Miraculously, she can communicate with Wall-E seamlessly.

Wall-E can't speak, but he can make various sounds.

Little Morgan could actually understand.

Luke asked Lilith about adding a language module to Wall-E.

But Lilith said that Wall-E's way of thinking is different from that of humans, and he would not be used to using human language.

Wall-E himself is not used to using human language, although he can understand various languages ​​​​on Earth.

So Luke gave up on it.

After all, Wall-E has a soul, so Luke respects Wall-E's wishes.

Little Morgan played with Wall-E at Luke's house all day.

Wall-E has been working diligently in Luke's house for so many years.

The family is confident that Wall-E will take care of little Morgan.

Stark always wanted to take Wall-E back and dismantle it for research.

Why isn't his robot (the robotic arm robot in Stark's home) so smart...

Although Daidai is not very smart, his basic movements are already very smooth.

Now it looks more like a robot than the robotic arm it was before.

It looks similar to the R2-D2 robot from Star Wars.

Cylindrical body with hemispherical head.

However, it has two more robotic arms, and the mobile device on its lower body is very similar to Wall-E, with a triangular track design.

A month later, Stark finally recovered fully.

Back at the group, he held a press conference and officially announced the closure of Stark's weapons department.

This is just a blow to the shareholders of Stark Group and has no impact on other aspects.

It was said to be closed to the outside world, but in fact the problems in the weapons department had been almost resolved.

A holding company jointly established by the Luke family and several other weapons companies acquired Stark's weapons division.

Of course, the Qin family must account for the majority.

Because the most valuable part of Stark's weapons division is Stark's design.

Luke is now fully capable of replacing Stark in designing conventional weapons.

Lilith could complete the basic design without him even having to do it himself.

Many things are modular, which is as easy for Lilith as building blocks.

And he also reached an agreement with Pepper in private.

Although Stark Group sold its weapons division, Luke left shares for Pepper.

This agreement was reached in private. Because of the relationship with the Qin family, Pepper's shares went through several circles in offshore companies registered in the Bahamas.

The final agreement was deposited in Elsa's bank.

Even Stark didn't know about this.

Not only the agreement, Pepper even made a will.

Pass it on to Morgan Jr., and if anything unexpected happens, donate it to a charity foundation controlled by the Qin family.

Although the small shareholders of Stark Group opposed it, they could not persuade Stark.

Obadiah tried to persuade him several times, but Stark still insisted, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

Then Stark and Jarvis started tinkering with power armor in the workshop of their own villa.

During this period, Luke was called to Washington by Paxton.

The old school is retiring.

The successor is not yet clear and will not be determined until the new president takes office.

Luke originally wanted to persuade Paston to work for a few more years, but seeing that Paston was now much thinner and had white hair, he finally didn't have the heart to persuade him.

This is also because he hasn't seen Paxton for a long time.

If they were ordinary subordinates, they would not only go to Washington every day to show off in front of their leaders, but they would also have to go there every now and then.

Paxton also dressed up carefully for this meeting with Luke...

The job of FBI director may seem glamorous, but in reality it comes with considerable constraints.

Congress, the President, the Attorney General, the Supreme Court...they are all big shots and you can't afford to offend them.

Moreover, there are many factions below him. If he didn't have strong backing, he would have been sidelined long ago.

His predecessor is a good example.

Something happened, and I didn't know anything...

In addition, Luke is also one of the trump cards in his hand, and the most important one.

It was a big deal, and Luke never let him down.

This secured his position as the top boss in various federal law enforcement agencies.

Whether it's biological weapons, rescuing hostages, defusing nuclear bombs, dealing with terrorists... or even supernatural events...

When has Luke not made him proud?

Because of Luke, Harris will become a local lord in the future.

Harris's mother's family is a political family itself. Although it is not big, it also has a certain influence.

With Luke as his backer, Harris will eventually become the director.

Now, Paxton's retirement is just a transition period.

Once the new director takes office, Harris will definitely go to Washington to take up the post.

Luke doesn't need to worry about this, as the old man and Father Qin have already arranged everything.

What Luke wants is not greater power, but simply the power to enforce the law.

The department that President Marshall set up for Luke was actually the result of Mr. Qin's operation.

It is an independent department with a high priority for law enforcement, but it is not as busy as ordinary departments.

The old man must have agreed to Paxton's retirement.

This time, Paxton not only told Luke that he was going to retire, but also asked Luke to make public the information of his reinstatement.

Luke has been wandering around outside in recent years, and all the household chores rely on Lilith and Harris to help.

What Paxton meant was that it would be best not to be too outrageous before the new director takes office.

Go back to work honestly. No matter what you do at work, you have to be on the job.

Luke naturally understood this and promised to hold a retirement ceremony for Old Pai when he retired.

However, this proposal was seriously rejected by Paxton.

Old School is a cautious person.

He has managed to hold the position of FBI director without any problems, which shows that he is quite capable.

Now everyone in the FBI, from top to bottom, may not be united, but at least there is no intrigue and conspiracy on the surface.

This is because he not only has people under his command, but also money.

The little money given by Congress is not enough to cover personnel expenses and equipment maintenance.

And it's amazing that Paxton was able to get sponsorship funds from the Qin family.

As for other factions, no matter how big the pie you draw is, nothing can be discussed without money.

With that kind of salary, who would want to risk their life for you?

But since Paxton was able to raise donations, he had the right to distribute the finances.

Disobedient? Haha, in two months, no one will follow you anymore.

If you don’t have money, how will you support your younger brothers?
