Chapter 278 Abigail Brand
Chapter 278 Abigail Brand
The Moon, Luna Palace.
Today, the Luna Palace is officially open to all countries around the world.
This city, originally inhabited by the Inhumans, was already quite large, and after expansion and renovation by the Alliance, it is now large enough to accommodate tens of millions of people.
Transportation between the Earth and the Moon has also been improved.
Now, anyone on Earth can travel to the Moon Palace for a mere 10 niue, provided they pass the approval of the Earth Alliance, which is composed of five major merchants.
Yes, in order to facilitate future integration with the universe, the Alliance did not accept the official currency of any country on Earth, but instead chose to use the cosmic currency, Niue, as the circulating currency.
Moreover, the Niue is directly pegged to the price of gold. According to the existing standards in the Milky Way, 10 Niues is equivalent to 0.001 standard units of gold, or 8 grams of gold.
Based on the dollar value at that time, it would be approximately $2,600.
Without a doubt, this is not a cheap price.
And this is just the transportation cost; with other expenses at the Luna Palace, it could easily cost tens of thousands of dollars a day.
Such exorbitant prices are clearly beyond the reach of ordinary people around the world.
So even though it's fully open, the population of Luna Temple is still not large.
They are mostly wealthy people from all over the world.
But in fact, this price is already extremely low compared to any "space travel" that has ever occurred on Earth.
(Russia began offering commercial space travel services in 2001, costing $20 million per trip.)
After all, the cost of spaceflight is there—although for an alliance that basically produces and consumes its own resources, this cost can approach zero indefinitely.
But since the alliance has partnered with Earth's official authorities, it must still adhere to Earth's economic structure.
Otherwise, if everything were set according to Earth's original consumption levels, the Alliance's current productivity could completely monopolize all of Earth's industries in no time.
The Earth's original economic system will completely collapse.
This is not a good thing.
Although it seems to have broken the original economic constraints and provided people all over the world with cheaper and more advanced products.
However, similarly, the wealth and savings that people around the world originally possessed will instantly become worthless.
So just like technology, Earth's economy will have to take its time to truly integrate with the universe.
As for the idea of destruction followed by reconstruction, the situation on Earth is far from being that urgent.
However, no matter how high the cost of living on the moon is, it is not a major problem for the Earth Alliance and the Sky Sword Bureau, who have already settled on the moon.
As the first official institutions to move in, the Earth Alliance personnel and the Sky Sword Bureau personnel working at the Moon Goddess Palace enjoy subsidies from both the Alliance and the Earth Alliance.
Even so, Li Feng's salary was still insufficient to support his extravagant spending at the Moon Goddess Palace.
Not to mention, this is the most famous Moon Goddess Cafe in the Moon Goddess Palace.
It's called a coffee shop, but it actually sells all sorts of amazing drinks from outer space.
Therefore, it is very popular with wealthy tourists visiting the Luna Shrine.
Their spending level is naturally astonishing.
"Your son really asked to meet you here?" Li Feng's green-haired female colleague looked at the coffee shop door, hesitant to go in. "Is your son very rich?"
Her rank was similar to Li Feng's, so her salary and bonuses were also roughly the same. However, the drinks here, even just a single cup, could easily cost her a month's income.
Even purified water is the same.
“Um… I didn’t tell you that my son is one of the founders of the alliance… not just this coffee shop, but the entire city of Luna Palace is also his property?” Li Feng stroked his chin as he answered his colleague’s question.
"Wait, what did you say?" Upon hearing Li Feng's words, the female colleague's pupils dilated in shock. "Your son is one of the founders of the Alliance, that mysterious Victor?"
The Alliance's information is currently semi-public, so most people on Earth know that the Alliance has two founders.
Besides Tony Stark, the Iron Man, who is known to everyone, there is another person on the League's official website who is only listed as Victor, without even a photo, making him very mysterious.
Therefore, he is known on Earth as "the mysterious Victor".
The woman's name is Abigail Brand. Before joining S.W.O.R.D., she was a senior executive in the CIA and is now a Level 8 agent in S.W.O.R.D.
Even so, she was not qualified to know the "true identity of the mysterious Victor".
Now Li Feng is telling her that the mysterious Victor is actually his son?
So what? So, she found a boyfriend who was the father of a self-made millionaire?
No, that's not right. Even the term "self-made millionaire" doesn't do justice to Li Wei.
Because in the minds of everyone on Earth right now, apart from Tony Stark, who is still the richest man, this mysterious Victor is probably the wealthiest.
For a moment, Abigail's breathing became rapid.
Although people like her don't really care much about wealth.
But when such immense wealth was placed before her, she couldn't help but feel excited.
More importantly, everyone on Earth now knows that the Alliance controls much more than just wealth.
It is an even more supreme right!
The Earth currently appears to be dominated by the Earth Alliance, primarily composed of five major merchants.
But anyone with a brain knows that when it comes to military strength, the five major merchants are basically powerless against the alliance.
No wonder it's been rumored within the Heavenly Sword Bureau that Li Feng is the undisputed successor to the next director, and that the first director was merely laying the groundwork for him.
With a son like that, it's a waste of Li Feng's talent to be the director of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, right?
"Don't worry too much. I am me, and my son is my son. He won't interfere too much with our work!" Seeing her somewhat silent, Li Feng assumed that his partner and girlfriend, who was always hot-tempered and disdainful of authority, was wary of his son's identity, so he immediately comforted her.
What nonsense are you spouting? Your son is so powerful, I'd love for him to interfere more in our work, okay?
Although she despised those power-hungry old Dengs, it didn't mean she was stupid.
The situation in the alliance is completely different from the political situation in the United States.
"You're overthinking it. I just feel a little dizzy from all this sudden windfall!" Abigail rolled her eyes and then walked into the coffee shop first.
Soon, the two met Levi and Wanda, who had arrived earlier, at the coffee shop.
In fact, it wasn't just Abigail who was surprised.
Li Wei was also surprised.
He didn't care too much that his cheap father had a new love interest.
After all, his soul wasn't Li Feng's real son, so he wasn't very interested in interfering in the other's private life.
What truly surprised him was the identity of his cheap father's new lover.
Abigail Brand, isn't that the director of S.O.R.D. from the comics?
My own cheap dad really knows how to find a good match!
