Chapter 4374
In a fit of anger, Hal turned around and was about to fly away. Carol hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Didn't they not let me move it? Then I'll move it back!"
"Wait a minute." Carol pulled him back and said, "The person who sent the agents is the opposition party. If you move the Capitol building back to Metropolis again, they can re-propose a re-vote, wouldn't that be exactly what they want? Maybe they will even secretly be happy, feeling that their threat plan has taken effect..."
Hal calmed down a little, and he thought it was true. This group of people came to find his girlfriend because he ruined their good deeds, so if he let things return to the starting point now, wouldn't it be exactly what they wanted?
Not only moving the Capitol building back to Metropolis, but moving the Capitol building to any place now would make the opposition party happy. It can be said that anything that might cause twists and turns in the vote counting results can bring them benefits. So whether it's moving the Capitol building again or making any big moves, it's equivalent to helping his enemies.
But if he does nothing, on one hand, he can't swallow this anger; on the other hand, the opposition party is his enemy, isn't the ruling party one too?
Thinking about it, he knew that the group of people who came to find him to move the Capitol building was the ruling party. Because they didn't want a re-vote and hoped that things would get back on track quickly, they asked him to move the Capitol building.
But this group of people also didn't fulfill their promise. It was agreed that he would return to his post and be exempted from compensation, but his company didn't receive any notification at all. This group of people is also a group of liars!
That is to say, now if he makes trouble, the opposition party is happy; if he doesn't make trouble, the ruling party is happy. No matter whether he makes trouble or not, one of his two enemies is always happy.
This made Hal very angry. Carol pulled him back to the apartment, Hal threw out the few agents he knocked down, and the two talked while tidying up the house.
"Sorry, dear, I didn't expect this to involve you." Hal sighed and said, "Fortunately, you are fine."
"I was scared not lightly," Carol said, "This group of people came in and pointed guns at my head, and even said that suing them was useless, it was simply too arrogant."
Moving the sofa back to its original position, Hal became more angry the more he thought about it, so he simply hugged a pillow and sat on the sofa, starting to be in a daze.
Carol went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of ice wine, handed them to Hal, sat down herself, and said: "I know you want to vent this anger and want to give them some color to see. However, the people with the right to speak are them. Originally they begged you to do things, and after things were done, they defined you as a terrorist and hunted you down. Your power alone is too thin."
"I haven't had superpowers for long," Hal said, "It was one day, I was suddenly teleported to the seaside, a big guy with red skin gave me a ring, and then I could fly suddenly. I was also teleported to a magical planet and trained with a bunch of strange creatures..."
Carol sat beside him, hugged him, and said: "I know, you have experienced a lot recently. First, an accident, then encountering this kind of thing, you must be very tired. I can temporarily move away from here for a while, they shouldn't be able to find me for a while..."
"No, it won't work." Hal said worriedly, "This is not a way. They can find this place, they can find your other addresses. If you keep moving like this, when will it end?"
"Do you still remember, Superman gave a speech before?" Carol asked again.
Hal looked at her, and then Carol said: "Now they dare to treat us like this, it's nothing more than our influence being insufficient. Although your superpowers are powerful, the time you have had them is too short, they don't know how strong you are, and they don't know what kind of value you have, so they dare to threaten you in such a rash way."
"But Superman is different, he has been famous for a long time, and can also be invited by the government and the military to give speeches. Within these forces, he must have many people he can use, and many people admire him, his influence is big enough. Why don't you go find him and seek his help?"
Hal's movements paused. He thought about it, and then felt that what Carol said made sense. The problem they are facing now is that they cannot directly retaliate against his enemies for the time being, otherwise, it would be making wedding clothes for others. But they also want to protect themselves, but unfortunately, the time he has had superpowers is too short, no one takes him seriously, and any cat or dog dares to come and provoke him. Although it is not difficult to defeat these people, it is too annoying to come every day, and Carol is just an ordinary person, if she is not careful, she might fall, which is really too dangerous.
Since he cannot make a name for himself in a short time, and wants to ensure that those people dare not come to provoke him, it is better to directly find someone famous to rely on, so that those people will also be afraid of throwing a rat.
In fact, many Americans are very familiar with this set. The United States is a very thorough human relationship society, everyone must find their own "gang," it can be an alumni association, it can be an industry circle, it can be in-laws, or even a community.
When you encounter trouble, having a solid gang background can help you overcome difficulties. Even for the homeless, especially those homeless people in warmer states who won't freeze to death, they have their own gangs, usually centered on drug dealers, forming a set of interest systems. Even many drug dealers and gangs will help some homeless people in difficulty to survive, so that they can extract profits for a long time.
Hal used to be a test pilot, and the factional struggle between the aviation industries he was in was also very fierce. Between ground crew and pilots, between pilots and pilots, between pilots and test pilots, between test pilots and test pilots, they are probing and fighting all the time, desperately wanting to kick the other party out. The one who survives in the end is not necessarily the one with the best technology, but definitely the one who is best at palace fighting.
Many absurd air crash accidents in the United States also happened like this. Many people put their energy into excluding dissidents, and the most united moment is the moment the plane falls.
Hal was able to gain a foothold in this circle and become the highest-paid test pilot, on one hand, because his psychological quality was indeed hard, and he had saved several accidents; on the other hand, it was also because he had a good girlfriend, Carol is the heir to the sixth-largest airline on the West Coast, and generally, no one would move him.
This accident was not only because he was too reckless and too confident in himself, feeling that he could save the plane from losing control like before, so he chose a more risky action strategy; it was also because many people were dissatisfied with him for a long time, and finally grabbed his tail, and several parties worked together to kick him out.
Carol also tried to help him, but the trouble he caused this time was indeed too big, and the other party's offensive was particularly fierce, so it was impossible to keep him completely, he could only leave his job first, and then find a way to go back later.
And Hal did not go bankrupt because of this, it was also because this was just an expedient measure. Whether it was his girlfriend Carol or his father-in-law Ferris, they all hoped that he could return to this industry, it just needed to wait for the situation to cool down before they could find a way to operate.
And the condition Hal promised those politicians, wanting to return to his post, was not wanting to give Carol too much pressure. After all, he caused the trouble, Carol might also be scolded by her father, if he could go back by his own ability, his girlfriend could be more relaxed.
But now, returning to his post should be unlikely, now he has to find a way to escape the hunt of the two parties, and it is best to give them a slap. Carol's proposal is actually nothing more than finding a gang again.
Hal used to be a test pilot, the highest-paid tier among pilots, and had a richer girlfriend, so all his interpersonal relationships were centered on these two identities.
But now he is already a super-powered individual, and for a long time in the future, he will be active in this identity, so he has to find a gang of super-powered individuals again, so that he can help him solve the current trouble.
Americans are very easy to accept this kind of identity conversion. Because of the class segregation policy, in which class you are, you can only socialize with people in that class, as long as there is a little change, such as suddenly making a small fortune, or catching up with the trend of the times, earning an extra sum of money, then it is very likely to completely abandon the past circle and throw into the embrace of the new circle.
So Hal immediately figured it out: the circle of test pilots is not working, he has to find a circle of super-powered individuals. The Superman proposed by Carol is indeed good, Superman looks both just and powerful, if he takes Carol to find him and says he is being hunted, the other party should also be willing to help him.
As long as he can get on the line, the follow-up will be easy to handle. Human relationship interaction is about coming and going, his ability is not bad, and he will definitely be able to help Superman in the future, and his status in the circle will be stable.
The only thing that is more troublesome is that they are both West Coast people, if they want to join Superman's circle, they have to go to the East Coast. They are unfamiliar with the place there, and they might need to adapt for a while.
The two stood up in unison and started to pack their things. Carol first hugged Hal, kissed his cheek, and said: "It's okay, my mother left me two houses in Metropolis, that is the property of her maiden family. After we go over, we can live there first, and then I will persuade my dad to buy us a new one..."
"Oh, no, Carol, this is really too..."
"Alright, your property tax is paid by me. Let's not count this between the two of us, Mr. Superhero." Carol smoothed her hair back, took out her phone, and said, "Hello? Are there any flight routes? To Metropolis? No, no, can't wait. Forget it, then come with two first-class tickets."
Then she turned back to Hal while packing things: "Sorry, the private jet route needs to wait for a while, let's go over as soon as possible. I asked the assistant to book two first-class tickets..."
At this time, Hal walked up and hugged Carol, then said: "Dear, first class is not as fast as me."
With a "whoosh," he hugged Carol and flew into the sky. Carol looked at her feet with some surprise. If it were an ordinary person, they might be scared to death, but Carol is also a pilot, and she is an astronaut, and has worked on the International Space Station, she is not afraid of this.
"Welcome to experience the Hal Jordan brand exclusive route." Hal kissed Carol's forehead and said, "Let's go."
Not long after, the two appeared over Metropolis. Carol observed the terrain, took out her phone and searched for the location, pointed in a direction, and the two flew over together.
When their figures crossed the sky, Diana, who was just coming out of the Metropolis Museum, looked up, looked at the direction they left with some doubt, and then took out her phone and called Bruce: "Did Superman send you a message? Is he back?"
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
"I just saw a man hugging a woman flying past, isn't that Clark and Lois? Could it be that Metropolis has a second couple like this?"
When she was talking, Bruce had already opened the computer and started to retrieve the surveillance footage. Soon, the footage of Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris flying in each other's arms appeared on his computer screen.
Operating the computer again, retrieving the data of the two, looking at the series of airline titles following Carol, he said in a low voice: "Coming just in time. Diana, I will send the data to you, the two of them should be in trouble. You represent us and visit them."
