Chapter 107: Competitors
Steve Rogers, the safety supervisor and fitness trainer of the Benevolence Society.
For now, this was Captain America's first official job after waking up.
It had to be said that this job was indeed very suitable for the serious and conscientious Captain.
His disguised identity was a retired special forces soldier, which was arranged together with his retirement procedures by S.H.I.E.L.D. after he woke up.
Although his name hadn't changed, his age was recorded as his age before being frozen—26 years old.
This had been a subject of Oaks' secret ridicule for quite some time. Despite his prominent sideburns, no one recognized him. Many people were familiar with Captain America, but they were not as familiar with his real name...
Just like the Red Skull, everyone knew he was the leader of HYDRA, but only a few could remember his name—Johann Schmidt.
Moreover, the statue of Rogers in the Captain America Memorial Museum wore a mask and had a clean-shaven chin.
When Oaks mockingly teased him for being a crazy fan of Captain America, Steve immediately embraced this persona.
This also relieved him—at the very least, Oaks "hadn't realized his identity."
It seemed like, what the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. had said was true: S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't disturb his life during this period.
The struggling Republican Party and Senator Ellis were thoroughly defeated under the fierce attacks of the Democratic Party. Although they barely made it through the voting stage, there was no miracle in the final election results.
In the nationwide vote announced on November 9th, the incumbent President Obama won the presidential election with an overwhelming advantage, securing his second term.
Even in the "ceremonial" Electoral College vote on December 19th, after over a month of public opinion fermentation, several faithless electors appeared among those originally pledged to Ellis, turning their votes to Obama.
As a result, on January 20, 2012, Obama was inaugurated as the President of the United States again.
After the dust of the election settled, a series of behind-the-scenes events gradually came to light.
With the lifting of the media blackout that lasted until the end of last year, the Benevolence Society, now seen as an exemplary representative of environmental public welfare, gradually had its influence on the election unveiled.
A coincidence?
Who would believe such bullshit?
Rumors had circulated that originally, the Benevolence Society's plan was to temporarily consolidate environmental causes around New York.
However, the Republican Party was worried that their influence would assist the Democratic Party, so they secretly did some unfavorable things, severing one of the Benevolence Society's supports.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Oaks, the Chairman of the Benevolence Society, was so resolute. He directly deployed cutting-edge technology and used environmental governance methods to bring six out of the eight states where the two forces were deeply entangled over to the Democratic Party's side!
As for the Roxxon Corporation incident, it probably only made the Republican Party's defeat even more embarrassing.
As a philanthropic organization, the Benevolence Society openly shared their action plans, processes, and results with the public.
Their sole response to countless pairs of eyes from the outside world was "no comment on unrelated events."
By the way, the Benevolence Society emphasized that 2012 was not the end of the world. They would consistently strive to improve the natural environment and called on everyone to contribute within their capabilities to improve the living environment for humanity.
But for now, Oaks had no time to deal with these matters because he was busy preparing for the Benevolence Society's annual New Year celebration/meeting.
This tradition had been established since the founding of the Benevolence Society and was in line with their philosophy.
The venue for the New Year celebration, Oaks' friends were all in attendance for this grand celebration.
The superhero Iron Man, Mr. Tony Stark has been busy recently.
On one hand, he needed to further develop the Arc Reactor built with the new element. And this guy named the new element..."Badassium." Yeah, it had a very Tony-style name. Although everyone who knew about this couldn't help but ridicule it, Tony had the naming rights, so everyone could only make fun of it.
On the other hand, Tony needed to adapt the new Arc Reactor and create an evolved suit of armor that balanced defense, combat capabilities, and rapid deployment.
In addition, as Colonel Rhodes, "War Machine," carried out missions for the U.S. military, Tony had voluntarily upgraded his armor.
Although the model remained Mark II, the performance of the armor was incomparable to before.
The development of the armor took up a lot of Tony's time. While he was busy, he also didn't forget to create trouble for his old rival, Roxxon Corporation. Stark Industries took on all the means they used against the Benevolence Society.
Also, Tony searched for and attacked the forces of the Ten Rings worldwide.
However, with his methods, he still couldn't figure out the true strength of the Ten Rings, which annoyed him. He could only take them down one by one.
He temporarily put the Ten Rings aside and appeared with Pepper at the celebration in the little rainforest.
"Hey, Yinsen, Banner, you guys have been doing great recently!"
Tony greeted his old friends, but his gaze swept through the lively venue like a radar.
The young and beautiful Benevolence Society volunteer girls were wearing traditional dresses that impressed him. They shuttled around the venue.
Girls had a special classical beauty when wearing them.
The Little rainforest, with its perpetual spring, allowed the girls to confidently showcase their youthful beauty.
This was one of the reasons why Tony enjoyed the Benevolence Society's celebration.
Yinsen and Banner watched attentively, but the two honest and straightforward scientists could only smile bitterly and help Tony distract Pepper's attention.
However, Tony, in high spirits, soon noticed something was off.
The girls today seemed somewhat distracted and uninterested in him, the top playboy...
Although they were quite familiar with him, considering he was also a shareholder of the Benevolence Society...
But when did Tony Stark become less attractive to girls?!
He absolutely couldn't tolerate this!
So Tony immediately launched an investigation.
And he quickly discovered the reason behind it.
"...Steve, where did this guy come from?!"
Tony stared dumbfounded at Steve, who came over looking embarrassed and flustered. He instinctively took off his sunglasses—
Wherever he went, the girls would intentionally or unintentionally come up to him, boldly showing their enthusiasm, and some even couldn't help but get touchy-feely.
Those who were a bit further away couldn't hide their expectant expressions...
For a while, the venue was filled with excited screams from the girls.
Mr. Safety Supervisor was wearing a tight-fitting uniform today, a true muscle man.
His bulging chest muscles were almost as thick as the girls' thighs, his well-rounded American backside, rugged sideburns, handsome face, and, most importantly, this awkward expression...
Tsk tsk tsk, it was simply a deadly attraction.
"A competitor..." Tony's mouth twitched.
