Chapter 1613 The best candidate Baron Mordo
There is no actual conclusion about how many fans Michael Jackson has. However, according to statistics from the United States, nearly one million fans spontaneously came to see off the pop music king on the day of the public memorial service held in the Los Angeles area after Michael's death.
It is reported that on the day of Jackson's memorial service, the Los Angeles area police needed to dispatch 6,400 police officers to maintain order at that time. It should be noted that the Oscars each year only require 500 police officers. This is just on-site data. According to statistics, the global audiences who have watched the memorial service through newspapers, live TV, post-replay, and online online viewers are estimated to have reached 3 billion. This far exceeds the 2.5 billion people data of Princess Diana's funeral ceremony in 1997, and can be said to be one of the most important symbols of the era in the early 21st century.
Of course, such data alone cannot prove that Jackson's fans have reached such amazing numbers as billions. However, just like someone who likes his old songs after Elvis passed away, with Jackson's achievements, he is absolutely impossible to be as flashy as those traffic-filled young fans.
Although he is dead, those living, dead, and not yet born will definitely be his most loyal fans. Perhaps there will be no such exaggerated numbers as 3 billion. However, as long as the human mortality rate is less than the birth rate, this number will be realized one day.
As a Jackson fan, Stark thinks that. So, of course, he hopes that Ancient One can take Jackson as his goal.
Faced with his wishful thinking, Gu Yi just thought for a moment and shook his head firmly.
"I'm sorry, Lord Stark. Although your plan does have your unique features, I don't think it would be a good choice to let me show up in public. Don't forget that I am carrying a ruthless injustice. If I was exposed to the public casually, then who can be sure that this will be used by our enemies and become the fuse for his conflicts and chaos?"
At this time, Stark had to admit that his idea was indeed a bit inappropriate. But this does not mean that he would give up on such an idea. As he said himself, this idea has great operability and controllability. It would be a pity to abandon it for such a small reason.
Since Master Gu Yi cannot show up in public, I will think of a way to find a substitute to show up on her behalf. With the resources of a country, it is not difficult for Stark to do this. In fact, as long as he is willing, he can immediately transfer a trustworthy person from the intelligence agency in his hands. However, this matter still needs to be followed by Master Gu Yi's nod, so before he decided to do this, he still told Gu Yi his thoughts to him one by one.
Faced with his thoughts, Gu Yi hesitated for a moment and responded to him.
"I'm not against your idea. It's just that, about the candidate who replaces me, I hope I can choose. In fact, I have a very good candidate to propose now."
The choice of candidates is just a little bit of detail. Stark doesn't care who is playing this role. Even said that in this case, it would be more beneficial to him by the candidates proposed by the ancient priest. At the very least, he would not worry that the person he arranged would be revealed and then involve him and the government.
Of course, this does not mean that cats and dogs can be competent for such a position. He has to ask more or less about this candidate.
"Can I know who the guy you are going to propose is? Is he worthy of your trust, and will he honestly cooperate with our work?"
"He is my student, and he is one of the few students I trust the most. Although he is a bit conservative and stubborn in his philosophy, I think he will not have any problems with this kind of major event that concerns the safety of the entire human race. He is a guy with a strong sense of mission. For such a just cause, he can even spare his own life."
Gu Yi explained his candidate, which immediately made Stark applaud.
"Very good. What we need now is such a guy. Conservative and stubbornness, this is not a problem. We are not making him homosexual and going to do striptease. We just let him perform and explain, and popularize the knowledge of survival to more people. This will not conflict with his philosophy at all. As for the sense of mission, this will satisfy me even more. I firmly believe that a person with a lofty sense of mission and responsibility can accomplish something big. So, if he is really like you said, I don't think he will disappoint us. By the way, where is he now? I can't wait to see him."
"Maybe you will have to see him tomorrow, because of such an important thing, I have to talk to him first."
Gu Yi's answer made Stark unable to help but raise his eyebrows, and then he started to say to Gu Yi as if he was teasing.
"I thought the so-called Supreme Master could easily command my apprenticeship? It seems that things didn't seem to be what I imagined."
"Isn't this a matter of course? They are individuals with their own thoughts and cognitions. How could I manipulate their ideas and let them be driven by me casually?"
Gu Yi didn't care about this kind of teasing and even quickly fought back. This reaction naturally made Stark shrugg and showed a helpless expression.
"To be honest, ma'am. I really don't want to chat with you. Because chatting with you will always make you die. So, this meeting will end here. Tomorrow, I will wait for you and your apprentice here. By the way, there is no need to inform you of your arrival. Since you can suddenly appear in front of me the first time, then I think you should be able to do this time too. I have seen your sincerity, so there is no need to make such a complicated tape."
“If this is your request, I’d be happy”
After saying this, Gu Yi quietly disappeared into the White House. When she appeared again, she no longer said she was alone.
A black man followed her and stood respectfully on her side. Facing Stark who had been waiting in the same place, Gu Yi directly introduced him.
"My Excellency Stark, this is the person I told you yesterday. He is Kalmodu, because he has the title of nobleman in Transylvania, just call him Sir Modu."
Looking at the black mage who was unconsciously erecting his chest because of Gu Yi's introduction, Stark's old habits were caused by the trouble, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Transylvania, I remember it was a province in Romania? Why, can that little place still enthroned nobles now?"
"I am a nobleman who was conferred by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, Mr. Stark. If you don't know what this means, silence may be a little more clever than what you say nonsense!"
Baron Modu’s respect is only for Gu Yi, his teacher. For Stark, an ordinary person in his eyes, he will not care about his identity and feelings. Therefore, since Stark dares to speak, naturally, don’t blame him for being rude in words.
This was a compromise made only in view of Gu Yi. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind using a spell to let the so-called American president understand how unwise it is to offend a mage.
"I like your temper, Sir Modu. If you can show this spirit in your future work, I think you will be very popular."
Stark didn't care much about Baron Modu's rude words. He was a proud person himself, so he could certainly understand the thoughts of those who were proud of their talents. This is not a bad thing, because no matter what, they are still talented. This is much better than those who are ignorant and arrogant.
Of course, even though he said so, this does not mean that he has already determined that Baron Morton will be the right candidate. Temperament is one thing, and ability is the more important factor. Whether he has the qualification to be supported by them must be judged after all.
So at the moment, Stark asked Baron Modu straight to the point.
"Ms. Gu Yi said she needs a day to discuss with you. Now that the day has passed, you have also come here with her. So, can I think that the result has been negotiated between you? So, can you tell me, what is your answer?"
At this time, Baron Modu was obviously more suitable to answer this question, so he just hesitated for a moment and said directly to Stark.
"I declare in advance that I do not agree very much with this idea. Because it is a conflict of the original order of the world when it is casually displayed, it is a conflict of the original order of the world. I don't think this is the right thing. But I also know that if the situation is really serious to the level that the Supreme Master said, and if you hold on to some old rules and regulations, it is obviously an inappropriate thing. So, I agree to do this and are willing to use limited spells to cooperate with your publicity and promotion. If this is really useful."
"Very good, I'll just say it! A person with a sense of mission will not disappoint us."
Stark had just praised him, and Baron Modu had already interrupted him without hesitation.
