Chapter 240 Family, relatives and friends
"Ah! Of course, honorable Lord Megatron, I am about to dedicate the source of fire to you!" Seeing Megatron's appearance, Starscream turned his electronic eyes slightly to confirm that there were no other Decepticons around. After that, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
Seeing Starscream's behavior, Josie on the other side couldn't help but twitched.
Sure enough, Starscream is still the same Starscream, why would he want to defeat Megatron head-on, Y's **** can't be changed at all.
And just as Josie expected, Starscream held the fire source in his left hand and seemed to dedicate it to Megatron, but his right hand was already stretched behind his back, and he popped out the vibrating sword.
Because Megatron was facing Starscream on his left side when he landed, he could just see the fire source in Starscream's hand, and all his attention was attracted by it. How dare you be so bold.
So when Megatron stretched out his hand to catch the source of fire, Starscream's vibrating sword in his left hand also pierced Megatron's waist.
"Ow!! Starscream, what are you doing?" Megatron's screams resounded through the sky, attracting the eyes of the Decepticon fighters who were fighting around the Hoover Dam.
Then they saw the invincible Megatron in their impression, but now he was being chased and hacked by Starscream wielding his sword.
Of course Megatron was not without resistance, and a saber popped out of his hand, but after just one collision, his saber broke, but Starscream's saber remained intact.
The standing knife in Megatron's hand turned into a particle cannon again, but was easily blocked by Starscream showing a shield, and then removed Megatron's entire arm with a backhand knife.
"Hurry up, Starscream is rebelling, kill him!" Suffering heavy injuries one after another, Megatron panicked and had been dormant on the earth for several centuries, facing this kind of scene all of a sudden, he couldn't accept the fact, and immediately couldn't help but The Decepticons around ordered.
However, none of the Decepticons paid attention to him at all, not to mention that the people who followed Starscream to Earth this time were all Starscream's cronies. In this situation, even Megatron's **** might not stand by him. here.
For example, the sound wave that is now turning into a satellite in space, just sighs in the heart, without any movement.
"Hahahahahaha! Cry! Shout! Then go die! Megatron, he is already a remnant of the old era, and the future is mine!" Starscream cut off what was left of Megatron. In the end, he pierced his fire source with one knife, ending the king of the old generation.
After Megatron was completely dealt with, Starscream didn't say a word, but just held up the fire source in his hand!
Seeing this, all the Decepticons also knelt down on one knee obediently, proclaiming Starscream's authority.
As for the human army at Hoover Dam? At this time, the Decepticon soldiers had already cleared them out, only some remnants of the defeated generals were fleeing frantically, and the reinforcements were far from coming.
On the other side of the trader, looking at the Starscream standing proudly holding the fire source and accepting the worship of many Decepticons, Josie actually felt a little pride and envy in his heart.
"Boss! We're here!" Just as Josie was admiring Starscream's highlight moment, Vito's reminder came from the communicator in the cabin, but it turned out that the plane was about to land.
After explaining to Starscream, and reminding him to trade Megatron's corpse, Josie terminated the transaction communication.
The place where the plane landed was Chicago, the private airport where Josie started his family. After changing the car, he arrived at his manor in just ten minutes.
"Where are Margot and the children?" As soon as they entered the hall, Francesca, who had received the news in advance, had already brought people to greet her.
"Madame invited Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Osborne to be guests today. Now they are playing golf in the garden, and the young master and young miss are taking Thaddeus to the zoo." Francesca helped As Josie took off his coat, he replied, "As for the young master and Master Norman, they are still sleeping."
As early as the beginning of the year, because the youngest son was over one year old and in good condition, the family took the little one back to the old house in the United States, but the one-year-old child still spends most of his time sleeping.
As for the Thaddeus and Norman mentioned by Francesca, they are naturally the children of the Ross family and the Osborn family, that is, the famous General Thunderbolt and the Green Goblin at the helm of the Osborne Group in the future of time and space.
At the end of last year, with the help of Josie, WAA completed most of the tasks of the sale war, and after eating the biggest piece of fat, William Ross became successful under Josie's suggestion Retired, chose to retire, and joined the Blackwater Group as a consultant.
The reason why I chose to retire at this time is naturally because of the unstable situation on the peninsula and the upcoming war in the second half of the year.
Don't look at the fact that because of Josie, the military technology of the United States is now N times stronger than the world where he was in his previous life, but after learning about the details of the eastern power in the world through Xu Wenwu, Josie is not at all optimistic that the United States can win this world. battlefield.
Not only can't win, but it is possible to lose very badly.
Under such circumstances, if he continues to stay in the army, he may fall into this muddy puddle like Mike Arthur and cannot get out. It would not let William Ross simply withdraw early.
After retiring and joining the Blackwater Group, the Ross family naturally moved to Chicago. Under Josie's arrangement, they bought a small manor next to their own and became the neighbors of the Kahn family in Chicago.
Of course, it’s just a nice way to say that they are neighbors. After all, the Kahn family’s manor is too big. The Ross family’s small manor only covers a few tens of acres, but the Kahn family’s manor covers more than a thousand acres. rank.
It takes a lot of time to drive from the main building of Ross's house to the main building of Kahn's house.
Because of various factors, it was not so easy for William Rose to meet Josie even if he was a neighbor.
On the contrary, because his wife is close to Margot, she often visits Kahn Manor, and his son Thaddeus can play together because he is only less than one year younger than Mike and Carol.
Adding that Thaddeus himself is Josie’s godson, so after Kahn’s family returns to the United States, Thaddeus will also receive Kahn’s family education with Mike and Carol—although in this era, the U.S. Basic education has begun to be gradually popularized, but for most of the rich and the upper class, private family education still occupies the mainstream, and it starts at the age of five or six.
The three children are at the right age now.
Norman was born when Josie and Margot first returned to the United States at the beginning of the year. His parents, Amberson and Mary, got married at the end of last year.
Because of Margot and Josie, Amberson has been doing well in the Chicago consortium in the past two years. Although the new Osborne Group is not top-notch in the Chicago consortium, it can be regarded as a success. big fame.
The two also officially got married last year.
After Norman was born this year, he became the godson of Josie and Margot just like Rose.
With this layer of status, Norman Osborn, a baby who is only a few months old, immediately became famous among the upper class in Chicago.
"Both Amberson and Ross are in Chicago?" Josie nodded upon hearing this, and then asked.
"Yes!" Francesca replied.
"Then let them have dinner together at night!" Josie ordered.
As for Josie, she didn't go to the garden to disturb the ladies' party. Although the wives of Mary and Rose are famous beauties, Josie is not the kind of person Howard wants to be with just because she is a beauty, especially if the other party is relatively close. The wives of relatives and friends - the wives of friends should not be bullied, and Josie's bottom line is still relatively high.
However, it is precisely because Josie's private life is very clean that William and Amberson will rest assured that their wives will frequently come and go to Kahn Manor. What if it is Stark?
Amberson didn't know, but William had already come to the door with a gun.
After thinking about it for a while, Josie decided to go to the zoo to see the child first.
The so-called zoo is actually the residence of Josie's big pets.
The white lion Simba is now a majestic lion, and because of a certain degree of genetic modification, his body size has reached nearly five meters, far exceeding the body size recorded in the world.
But because it is domesticated and genetically modified, it has a very docile personality and a high IQ, so there is no hidden danger of attacking people—of course, the premise here is that no one provokes it.
The situation of Gorilla King Kong is similar to that of Simba. Although his height is more than five meters, although he is far from the size of King Kong in the movie, he still has a huge deterrent effect on ordinary people.
In addition to this, there are four St. Bernards from Monday to Thursday.
When Josie arrived at the zoo, the three children were having trouble with King Kong.
"Dad" X2, the two monkeys saw Josie, they just yelled casually, and then continued to pull King Kong to the end.
These two know their father's temper, unless they are in class or do something wrong, they are usually very tolerant of them.
In the Kahn family, strict fathers and loving mothers do not exist, but only loving fathers and strict mothers.
It also has to do with the personalities of Josie and Margot actually belonging to different eras.
"Godfather!" Compared to the two monkeys, the future General Thunderbolt is much more cautious. After all, he was born in a military family, and William Ross's family education is still very strict, so although he is only six years old, his personality is just like his own. Just like adults, he does things in a rigid manner.
"Relax, Thaddeus, you don't have to be so serious here!" Josie touched the child's head and said with a smile.
Seeing that the child was taught to be so rigid by William Ross since he was a child, Josie couldn't help but feel that the child was quite pitiful.
Thinking about the character of General Ross in the original plot, it seems that it has something to do with his family influence.
Facing Josie's words, Thaddeus just nodded, but didn't move.
Well, it seems that I am here, this child can't relax and play.
"I just took a look at it for a while, you guys continue to play!" Josie said, and was about to leave.
"We know!" My son and my daughter waved their hands without looking back.
"Goodbye Godfather!" Thaddeus honestly waved goodbye.
Got... Which one is your own? Seeing this, Josie also sighed helplessly.
But what he didn't know was that Thaddeus was actually very envious when he looked at the back of him leaving, and then at his brothers and sisters who were still playing.
"William, are you getting used to staying in the black water?" Soon it was evening, and at the dinner table, Josie asked William Ross.
"Of course, in Blackwater, I don't feel much different from when I was in the army. I even feel a little more relaxed. After all, there are no officials from the Ministry of Defense to dictate!" William Ross shrugged.
Actually, at first Josie asked him to retire, but he was still a little unhappy. It wasn't that he wanted to be promoted, but that he thought he could continue to work in the army.
But after Josie stated the pros and cons, he finally agreed.
But after arriving in Heishui, he found that the environment in Heishui was much better than that of the army.
Not to mention all kinds of military equipment, Blackwater is no worse than the U.S. regular army, and because there are many German soldiers in Blackwater, the quality and obedience of the soldiers are far stronger than those of the American soldiers, so it can be said that they are very comfortable to lead.
Which general doesn't like high-quality soldiers?
As a result, William is a little bit reluctant to leave now.
This is also normal. Most of the soldiers in Blackwater were veterans of the former German or Hydra regular army. Now they are re-recruited. Could it be that their quality is not high?
And the configuration of the black water, Josie trained according to modernization and even futurization.
After all, the future battlefield of the army of the Blackwater Company may not be the earth!
"Just get used to it. We are old friends. If you have any problems or discomfort, you must tell me." Seeing William's satisfied face, Josie nodded and said.
Then his eyes turned to Amberson again.
Before he could speak, Margot said, "Josie, this is a family feast, and your study is where you talk about business!".
Hearing what his wife said, even Josie, who is a top boss, could only shrug and honestly choose to shut up.
That "humble" appearance also caused everyone to chuckle, but their hearts were full of envy.
Especially the wives of the other two families. Although her husband treated them very well, he was not as pampered as Josie.
Since his wife doesn't allow talking about business affairs, Josie can only change the topic to some interesting things in life.
Soon, a family dinner ended in a cheerful atmosphere.
After the meal, the wives continued to chat and took the baby, while William and Amberson followed Josie into the study.
