Because the person standing before him was not a human being in the conventional sense.

Or should I say...

This is not a human at all, but an orc!

That's right.

Standing before them all was a being wearing a Superman uniform and possessing a lion-like face.

The lion here does not refer to his majestic appearance, but a real lion!

"This……"

Mordred was stunned when he saw Edison coming here.

She had indeed heard her aunt Morgan and grandma Altonya mention the content about the lion more than once.

But the young knight never imagined that one day she would see a living lion-man walking on the earth!

"..."

Edison seemed to notice Mordred's gaze, and he quickly spoke.

"You must be surprised by my appearance, right?"

"Isn't that nonsense?!" Mordred said anxiously. "Who could possibly look like you?"

"Sister!" Gareth immediately stopped Mordred's completely inappropriate remarks.

After all, the Edison in front of him is controlling a large army of robots.

If you speak rashly like this, you may very likely step on the other person's sore spot, and it's hard to say what will happen.

However, facing Mordred's speech, Edison did not feel angry.

He just burst into laughter:

"Yes, this is exactly what I symbolize as President!"

"A different body from an ordinary person, a different face from an ordinary person!"

"All of this represents my rights—W.F.D! Standing at the top of the world, I have unlimited possibilities!"

"Uh……"

Mordred smiled awkwardly, then leaned over to his sister Gareth's ear and whispered softly:

"Why does he speak so strangely..."

"Shh—just know it, don't tell anyone and just pay to take care of it."

"Look, isn't that what Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji are doing over there?"

"Eh?"

After Gareth's reminder, Mordred noticed that the two little ghosts who were making a lot of noise before were now as quiet as wood.

They stood there obediently, not daring to say a word, for fear of disturbing their master Ian.

"..."

Mordred looked at this scene and seemed to have thought of something.

"People with small breasts should be more obedient, right?"

She nodded thoughtfully and stopped commenting on Edison's appearance.

but--

Mordred calmed down, but Ian had a lot of doubts.

He wasn't so bothered by Edison's appearance.

After all, this is a singularity that causes historical distortion, so whatever happens is natural.

The legendary Greek gods can also transform into mechas, let alone Edison who is just a great inventor?

"It should be okay to call you Edison directly, right?" Ian said very directly.

Compared to the president in front of him, his aura is also very strong.

"No problem. Actually, I don't mind people addressing me as an equal like this."

Edison's lion eyes looked at Ian.

"From your tone, it seems you were the one controlling the robot to resist me just now, right?"

"So your name is..."

"Ian Pendragon, just an ordinary Master."

"Ian Pendragon...it sounds like a really powerful name."

Edison first affirmed Ian, and then changed the subject and talked directly about the current problem.

"Then make an offer—"

"How much US dollars do you want to hand over this hospital and everyone in it to me?"

"Don't worry, since this is a deal, I will pay you enough and also guarantee that you can make a certain profit."

"you……"

Ian had never expected that Edison would be so direct in making his request.

"This isn't my hospital, and these people aren't my men."

"Of course I know this." Edison's tone was still full of confidence.

"But the reality is that as long as you don't protect them, I can take over this place directly."

"You should be able to understand this clearly, right?"

Edison's words were very blunt, but they were indeed objective facts.

After all, everyone in this hospital has suffered some injuries, and it is quite difficult for them to move.

As long as he gave up protecting them, Edison's army would indeed occupy the hospital in a short time.

however--

"I refuse." Ian said this almost without hesitation.

"Edison, please stop saying that. I will never agree to such a thing."

"Why?" Edison pulled out a stack of bills from his Superman uniform. "If you're willing, I can pay you as much as you want."

"But there are some things that money can't solve, Edison."

Ian reached over and pressed Edison's bill back into his Superman uniform.

“Everyone deserves respect.”

"If we measure them by the price of goods, wouldn't that be worse than animals?"

"I refuse to be that kind of person, and I hope you don't become that kind of person either—otherwise, I will definitely stand against you!"

Ian's words were equally straightforward, and didn't seem like they could be changed.

The man didn't know that everything he said at this moment had been heard by Nightingale outside the door.

Although she didn't say anything, the familiar angle appeared at the corner of her mouth again.

The nurse was laughing, but she didn't realize it at all.

"..."

Edison was silent at first, then burst into laughter.

"very good!"

"If you can think that way, then it's perfect."

"I don't want to just use money to accomplish what I want. Can you at least tell me a way that suits your wishes?"

"I don't want to send my robot soldiers into battle with you again."

"..."

Ian knew that Edison was telling the truth.

After all, in that wave just now, he probably destroyed thousands of robot soldiers.

"Edison, if you really want to seize this hospital—"

"I think the only way is to take good care of these patients."

"As long as you can take care of them, arrange shelter and food for them, and provide them with appropriate medical treatment, I think you can own this hospital even without spending so much money."

"..."

Edison pursed his chin and thought for a while, then asked.

"So can I work and receive treatment at the same time?"

"Given the current situation, I desperately need manpower, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this hospital."

"Ok?"

Ian sensed the hidden message in Edison's words.

"Are you planning to do something?"

"Yes."

Edison folded his arms across his chest, looking dignified.

"I will fight to defend America!"

"Drive out all those inexplicable outsiders!"

580. Nightingale's Straight Ball/Edison's Epoch-making Network Shield (4k)

"Defense of America?"

After hearing Edison say this, Ian felt that he could finally figure out what time it was.

"Edison...what do you mean? As the President of the United States, what exactly are you trying to protect?"

"as well as--"

"What time is it now?"

Faced with Ian's question, Edison did not show any doubt.

On the contrary, he answered the question very clearly and concisely.

"This is America in 1783! I led my troops to unify the entire North American continent!"

"W.F.D! The United States of America must stand at the top of the world!"

"In 1783..."

Ian felt quite troubled after temporarily losing contact with BB.

After all, this super AI girl really knows a lot of things.

She can answer some questions that seem to have no answers at all.

but--

It seems that there is no need to worry about such things now.

Judging from Edison's speech, he must have just completed some kind of unification war, turning his country into a complete entity.

"So the defense is..."

Edison seemed to have already regarded Ian as his ally. He quickly continued:

"In fact, starting a few days ago, various signals of unknown meaning began to appear across the United States."

"An unclear signal?"

"Yes." Edison said as he took out something that looked like he had invented it himself.

Even though he has become a lion-like being, he is still a great inventor at heart.
