Chapter 1761 Rarely trust him
Strange's identity is special because he is a Kama Taj mage. This identity, which is somewhat similar to his son, made Stark subconsciously feel a little favorable to Strange.
Although he was suspicious of the Supreme Master and was very dissatisfied with Baron Modu's ignorance of the current affairs, as a mature person, he would not take his anger over a whole because of individual examples.
The Kama Taj Mage will be a very important force, and this force may be in their hands. Since that is the case, it is also appropriate to give them some necessary courtesy.
This is also why Stark spoke for Strange at this time. Of course, he was also optimistic about his desire to get some exciting news and use it to boost morale.
For so long, bad news has always come one after another, which has made him almost lose patience. In his opinion, the situation has been so bad that it is always good news. No matter how bad a person's luck is, it cannot be so bad. So maybe this is a sign of his fortune?
He is very objective, or at this time he has to force himself to be optimistic. Unfortunately, this optimistic attitude is obviously inappropriate.
The news brought by Strange was not good news, and when he spoke to everyone present that warning from Baron Modu, everyone present began to look ugly.
No matter who knows that he has prepared carefully and puts great efforts to do everything he has done, it is only under the calculations of others, or even when he is led by others, he will not have a very good look. None of the people present cursed is the result of their deep scheming. Of course, in their hearts, they may have cursed hundreds of times.
Those damn devils, those conspirators, and even their wizards.
No matter what, the Supreme Master is the originator and fuse of all this. Whether she knows it or not, whether she is one of the manipulators behind it, she will be a consequence of this matter. And if even the Supreme Master is involved, then are other masters still trustworthy?
This is already a matter that needs careful consideration for the government under Stark.
This is not a problem that can be solved by closing your mouth and making up your own in your mind. It is a matter that can only be solved after listening to what you want to hear, saying what you want to say, and understanding everything.
Under this circumstance, Stark's tone changed and he became cold and serious. He began to question and looked at Strange.
"Are you sure that everything you said is true, what are you guaranteeing Baron Modu not faked things like this?"
"I can swear everything I have. Your Excellency the President, what I say is true. As for my teacher, maybe he is a little dissatisfied with certain things, but I can say with certainty that he will not make a falsification. No one knows him better than me. He is a person with a sense of mission and honor. He will not do such things in the face of the mission and honor of the mage!"
"Mission, honor? Please be honest, Doctor Strange. So far, everything we have learned about the mage comes from your mouth, and are you as noble as you say, so mission and honor, something I have not seen at all. All I can see is deception, and who knows, is this a despicable trick?"
His army was trapped in hell, which naturally gave General Ross a great opinion. Now, Strange's information undoubtedly gave General Ross a leak, and he naturally vented his emotions at Strange.
This was an unrestrained disaster, and Strange certainly was unwilling to bear it for nothing. So he refuted it without hesitation.
"You cannot deny its majestic and tallness just because you are blind and unable to see the mountains. You cannot say that the world is silent because you are deaf and cannot hear any sound other than yourself. General Ross, there are always some people in this world who have made contributions but you don't know much. You can deny their contributions, but this world will not. There will always be such eyes looking at everything fairly!"
"Hmph, a sharp-tongued boy. Don't think that saying some beautiful words can reverse my impression of you. So far, what your mage does is not worthy of letting me look up to you!"
He has a stubborn temper like a stinky stone in a pit. General Ross would not change his opinion just by saying something from others. He is so stubborn that he will not change anything until Strange or other mage can come up with more substantial statements.
Strange obviously realized that General Ross was an unsurpassable level. At this time, he really couldn't put in so much energy to slowly attack the stubborn old man, so he could only settle for the second best, bypassed him, and began to try to convince the others here.
Nick Fury may be the best object to convince, at least, they had a satisfactory exchange before. This might be a good foundation. With this idea, Strange immediately focused on Nick Fury.
"Director Fury, don't you even believe what I said?"
"No, I believe all of this you said."
There was no special expression on Nick Fury's face. It was like a machine without emotion. He first gave Strange a reply that he could thank him, and then he stomped on the gratitude that arises in his heart with a breath.
"But I'm not sure if this is part of a conspiracy. I believe you, the doctor. But I can't believe Sir Modu, so naturally I can't mention those nonsense that I believe in him. Maybe you are also the one who was deceived, and even said that you deceive us by deceived you, which is what the planner behind this conspiracy thinks?"
"You shouldn't doubt him, he has no reason to deceive you, right?"
The situation was not as optimistic as he imagined, which made Strange feel anxious. He didn't understand what these people were concerned about, and he didn't understand why they could be so indifferent in the face of such threats.
Let's say they are stupid, their performances are not related to stupidity no matter how they look at them. But if this is his own problem, he is very sure that there is no problem with him.
At a loss, his mind was completely blank, and almost subconsciously, he turned his attention to Stark.
He knew that if there was a person here who could decide everything with one sentence, then this person would definitely be Stark. His identity, the power he possessed, and his past all gave him absolute authority. And as long as he was willing to nod, no matter how much other people had opinions, they would never openly disobey him. But the question is, would Stark nod?
If it were at the beginning, Strange might be full of confidence, because in his opinion, someone would always be willing to stand up and take responsibility for such important matters. However, the reality has polished his confidence early and made him dare not have too much expectations in such matters.
What would Stark do? He could only look forward to it in a vague way. Faced with his expectations, Stark just hesitated for a moment and said to him.
"I believe what you said, but I don't believe it either."
He reached out to stop Strange's defense that he wanted to say, and Stark didn't give him any chance to defend himself.
"I believe in you because I think you deserve my trust, doctor. You are an honest person. As a doctor, you are much better than those guys who only know how to make money. This is the key to my trust in you. Your past and all your past performances are worthy of my trust."
"But, as Director Fury said, I'm afraid you won't even be sure if you are a part of the other party's conspiracy. If you know that I am the president of this country, my every word and action are related to the fate of many people. Therefore, I have no way to make any important decision just because of your one-sided words. This is irresponsible to this country."
"So what do you want to do, Your Excellency the President, sit idly?"
Strange's tone was full of irritability. Obviously, he no longer had the patience to continue to linger with these politicians.
He felt that he had seen the faces of these politicians clearly, and had enough of their stupid suspicion and despicable shirks. If he hadn't been really weak and could not fight against the unspeakable existence of Baron Modu's mouth, he would have gone and made his last effort alone.
If he had that ability, then being a lone hero would not be unacceptable to him. However, unfortunately, he himself knew that he did not have such ability.
He has talent, but he doesn't have that time. He has only become a mage for less than a year, and he wants to challenge the unspeakable existence with his own strength. He is the most polite description of overestimating his own strength and seeking death. He can't have any hope at all.
He understood this principle, so he placed his hopes on Stark so much. But the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Under this politician-style shirk, he could no longer see any hope.
This is the last chance. If Stark can't give him the answer he wants, then he immediately turns around and leaves.
There are more than one country in the world than the United States. There will definitely be one or two governments here who are willing to believe the information he brings. As long as he can speak one or two of them with great importance, he may be able to turn the situation around. If this can be done, then maybe mankind will be saved.
Of course, if that time comes, the face of the entire United States will definitely be completely discredited. Their conspiracy will be exposed and their incompetence will be ridiculed. The turmoil from internally and the suppression from externally will likely lead to the huge country falling apart.
Although Strange felt a little unbearable for the welfare of all mankind, if he really reached that point, he would still make the most correct choice.
It all depends on Stark's answer, and for Stark, who has been watching Strange and wants to peek into his heart with his own eyes, he almost knows what choice he should make.
"Sit down and ignore it? No, I won't do that. This is a crisis, a crisis that is born under our noses. As the president of the United States, I absolutely cannot allow such things to be born on our territory. So, whether it is a conspiracy or a bad joke, I will send someone to investigate and investigate all the changes in the Death Canyon."
"This is a prerequisite. I will not act rashly until I have sufficiently reliable information. And I hope you don't do anything randomly, Dr. Strange."
Although this statement did not satisfy Strange very much, Stark expressed his willingness to face it head-on.
This is a good start, for Strange. He also believes that such a huge conspiracy is impossible to reveal any clues. As long as Stark is willing to face this problem head-on, he will definitely find something wrong.
He was not worried about finding nothing, he was only worried that time would not be enough. So immediately, he warned.
"We have not had much time, Your Excellency the President. If you need an investigation, then I suggest that you make preparations in advance that you can deal with at any time. Once your investigation is consistent with my warning, you can take action immediately to stop this conspiracy!"
"You don't need to say this kind of thing, little mage. The war should be left to professionals to solve, rather than letting you, an outsider, give orders!"
General Ross' cold sarcasm was not taken seriously by Strange. He just stared at Stark, hoping to get a positive answer from his mouth.
When facing his gaze, Stark just frowned and then said.
"We will be prepared, you can rest assured, Doctor Strange. However, all we can do is limited to this. For now, the most important problem we face is the safety of the soldiers. I need you to give me a positive answer, Doctor. Is there any way to save them from hell?"
