Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 97 Saying One Thing and Meaning Another

Inside the Stark Industries building, the supervisor looked at the employees standing in front of him.

"You are all outstanding employees of Stark Industries, and now the company needs you."

"Mr. Stark is the core of our industry. Our company's growth is entirely due to Stark's intelligence and talent, and he needs more internal strength than anyone else in our company."

"Now, put aside today's corporate orders. I require you to immediately cultivate your internal energy, and then collectively gather your internal energy to offer to our president."

"Of course, I won't ask you to contribute for nothing. The company will directly purchase your products at twice the market price."

"The entire Stark Industries has a total of 10 employees. Each person only needs to contribute a wisp of internal energy to the company. Taking into account losses, it's equivalent to the output of your twelve days' work."

"If you can gather enough internal energy within twelve days, then these few days will be considered extra overtime for the company, and you will be paid triple wages."

Upon hearing what the supervisor said, the employees, after mentally calculating the money they had earned from twelve days of internal energy cultivation, all gasped in shock.

I can earn at least $9000 in the next few days.

"Internal strength is a lucrative profession," an employee thought to himself.

In the early stages of the internal energy industry, it was easy to make money in this blue ocean market. Once you've saved enough money, you can buy it back at a lower price when the price of internal energy drops.

Soon, a box of books was pushed in, and the supervisor clapped his hands and said, "Alright, these are genuine books that we purchased directly from the bookstore. Everyone take one and start practicing now."

Soon, seeing the employees step forward and pick up the books to study them seriously, the supervisor nodded in satisfaction.

Hearing his supervisor's words, one of his subordinates pondered for a moment and then asked with doubt:

"Manager, didn't the book say that the dantian's capacity is at most a thousand years? Ten strands of internal energy per person would be enough to fill three dantians. Does the CEO really need that much internal energy?"

The supervisor rolled his eyes and then lectured him with a look of exasperation:

"Are you stupid? Our Stark Industries has more than one leader. Doesn't Mr. Obadiah need one? Besides, internal energy can be used separately, and any extra internal energy can be used as an annual outstanding employee reward."

Such an incident as that involving Stark Industries is certainly not an isolated case. Today, employees of many other companies have also been urgently summoned for reprimands, forced to immediately cultivate their inner strength and dedicate themselves to the company.

On numerous job recruitment websites, a new message has appeared: the company can make an exception for highly qualified talents and welcomes hardworking and dedicated employees.

Because internal energy has only been around for a short time, many changes have not yet occurred, but even the initial signs have already affected people's lives.

On Utopia Island, with a thunderous roar, Bai Ye landed smoothly.

Seeing the mutants on the island attracting attention from all around, Bai Ye waved his hand and threw Professor X and the others out of the space.

"I'm going to find Magneto now. You guys wait for me a bit." Bai Ye said, and the next moment his body became ethereal and disappeared into the ground, passing through the steel outer wall and entering the safe house.

Inside the room, Bai Ye's figure fell from the ceiling and landed on the floor.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Bai Ye return. Magneto asked, "How did it go? I saw that your identity was exposed, and Canada was also attacked by nuclear weapons."

"It's alright, Professor X and the others have been rescued by me and are up there. They may be staying on your island for a while."

"Furthermore, I've already reached an agreement with S.H.I.E.L.D. that there's no risk of war for the time being; at most, the humans will just know I'm a mutant."

Bai Ye directly revealed the concept of the Sentinel robots to everyone, making Magneto and Mystique's expressions extremely ugly.

Mystique, in particular, never imagined that the authorities would use her and Scarlet Devil's genes to create such a terrifying monster.

"What should we do next?" Magneto asked.

"What should we do? Just stay calm as I told you before." Bai Ye said, "Like I said before, time is on my side. The longer it drags on, the greater my chances of winning will be."

"Give me just one more year, and I will change the entire landscape of the Earth," Bai Ye said confidently.

"Why do you insist on fighting against humanity?" At this moment, Chief George said from the side, "Can't we try to reconcile?"

As soon as he said this, all eyes turned to him, and the mutant's hostile gaze put George under immense pressure.

"Do you think the reason we don't reconcile is because we don't want to?" Mystique retorted sarcastically. "If it weren't for Bai's intervention this time, all the mutants would have been killed by Stryker. Why don't you go down and reconcile with him?"

"Chief, I didn't say we couldn't reconcile," Bai Ye reassured him. "It just requires us to reconcile according to my method. Don't worry, I'm only overthrowing the upper echelons of power; the middle and lower levels won't be affected... I should be."

"You might as well be a little more firm in your stance," George thought to himself, then asked, "So what do we do? Are we just to stay imprisoned here?"

"Of course not. Now that things are resolved, I will send you back," Bai Ye said. "However, I hope you will keep this place a secret."

"You'd believe me if I said I'd keep it a secret?" George asked.

"Of course I believe you, given how close my relationship is with both your families," Bai Ye said with a smile.

"I don't believe you at all. Your professional ethics are too strong. You might inform on the government at any time," Bai Ye thought to himself.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would turn on you and imprison you after being exposed? Please, you're thinking too badly of me, okay?" Bai Ye's face showed a hurt expression of being slandered.

"That's right, that's the kind of person I am," Bai Ye thought to himself.

"Even for Gwen's sake, I will release you all unconditionally, but I hope you won't tell anyone else about what happened today."

Bai Ye looked at Gwen's family and said with utmost sincerity, "I trust you so much, and I hope you won't let me down."

"Just kidding, Professor X is on my side. Once we're out of the safe house, I'll have him give you all a divine hint. Informing on me? You'll be lucky if he doesn't brainwash you all into becoming my people," Bai Ye thought to himself.

The Gwen family, unaware of Bai Ye's true feelings, were somewhat moved, surprised that Bai Ye was actually a decent person.

Gwen, who was initially filled with resentment towards Camilla and other women, began to hesitate: 'Could it be that Bai Ye truly loves me?'

"How can this be!" Magneto, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward when he heard that Bai Ye was going to let them go. "Humans are all untrustworthy. I was betrayed once because I saved someone."

"Don't say anymore, I've made up my mind. I believe he won't let me down," Bai Ye said firmly.

Magneto: "Bai Ye, you'll regret this."
