The lawsuit is now before the Houston District Court.

As soon as the news that the lawsuit was accepted was released, it immediately aroused heated discussion among the people. Even the people were divided into two groups.

One group naturally supports the prosecution of the victims. The reason is very simple. People will always sympathize with the weak. Those people did not make any mistakes, they just watched the game honestly. Then the Fantastic Four suddenly appeared and caused them to encounter difficulties.

imaginary disaster.

Although they knew that the Fantastic Four were fake, they ignored it. Or indeed, some people believed that they were fake, but they didn't care. But some people also asked, who can prove that the Fantastic Four on that day were fake?

Of course, people who think this way do have a darker psychology, but this suspicion is reasonable. Unless evidence is provided!

But this evidence collection is difficult. After all, it is difficult for the superheroes who were captured with the Fantastic Four to prove to them. After all, most superheroes will not reveal their true identities. If they do not reveal their true identities when testifying,

If your identity is exposed, then the evidence will be invalid. Even if some superheroes don't care about their identity being exposed, they will still face various censures. After all, who can prove that your testimony is correct?

They were not arrested together, and furthermore, the other party's lawyer even had reasonable doubts that the Fantastic Four who were with them at the time must be genuine?

Don’t underestimate a lawyer’s ability to find loopholes.

And this step is precisely the hardest to prove. After all, if the superheroes locked up with them could really recognize the Skrulls... they wouldn't be caught.

The law is about logic and evidence. As long as the suspicion raised by the other party's lawyer is reasonable and logical, it may be accepted by the court and the jury. Even if the whole world knows that the fake Fantastic Four were responsible for Houston's tragedy.

, but again - the evidence!

But there are also a considerable number of people who feel that this prosecution itself is a naked atrocity!

As mentioned above, the whole world believed that it was the Skrulls pretending to be the Fantastic Four who caused the tragedy, but a group of people ignored this fact and prosecuted according to the law!

What is this if not an atrocity?

If the Fantastic Four really lose the lawsuit, how can there be any justice?

Law or justice, who is more important?

Actually, everyone talks a little bit harshly, but in fact, they don’t care much.

Because it has nothing to do with their interests, everyone is just talking.

In fact, Richards didn't care either.

He won't be happy if he wins. After all, someone died, and he himself does not need to be responsible.

It doesn't matter if you lose. The most you can do is lose some money.

It seems that these people are aggressive, but in fact, unless the U.S. government wants to stand against all superheroes, it is absolutely impossible to impose terrible punishments. The most is a fine of several hundred million.

He can afford to pay!

He doesn't even need the help of Stark and Wayne Consortium, he can handle the fine himself.

Although I will be a little unhappy, I can accept it.

He does good deeds unlike the Human Torch, who likes others to cheer for him and enjoy public attention. Richards does not do good deeds because of these things...but he is willing and able to do so.

He even regarded it as a sport or hobby, and he always considered his main job to be a scientist.

So just when everyone thought Richards was struggling because of the lawsuit, he himself didn't care at all.

"Richard! What on earth are you thinking? Why did you say that?!

"The character of the Invisible Woman overlaps quite a lot with Pepper. She is responsible for all the work that Richards is not interested in...including public relations. (In fact, before the movie came out, Iron Man's popularity was not as good as that of the Fantastic Four. It can even be said that

The superhero Iron Man is a second- and third-tier hero, but Marvel didn’t have any of the popular heroes at the time, such as the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, so they chose Iron Man only if they had no other choice)

In fact, Susan had already prepared for the current situation.

According to the plan of her and the public relations team, they only need to express their regrets, and then come up with a sum of money on a humanitarian basis. This public opinion crisis can be completely overcome. After all, the facts are there, and they are not the ones who caused the tragedy.

, but the aliens who are standing in their faces. They themselves are already unable to protect themselves and are imprisoned on Mars. As long as they have a better attitude and spend a sum of money, everything will be solved perfectly.

Even if someone is unwilling to give in, it is because they are greedy.

After all, they have already contributed the money, so what else is there to do?

Although this idea may be very rebellious in China, after all, human life is greater than heaven. But in a capital society, human life is also a resource that can be quantified!

They were irresponsible and gave money to others. If they use this as an argument, they have violated the established social rules of "no second trial" and "payment to do things."

I gave you money and you accepted it.

Then this matter has become a piece of cake and cannot be discussed again.

The matter is over.

Their public opinion crisis is over.

But the problem is that Richards’ violent remarks suddenly made things troublesome!

"I'm just telling the truth! Susan, we were not wrong." Richards didn't even put down the work in his hands, but said calmly.

"I know, I know. We are not wrong, but public opinion is right or wrong!" Susan looked at her boyfriend helplessly... She liked his character, he was very obsessed with it. But sometimes it really

It's a headache.

"I know you can solve it, right?" Richards smiled and looked at his girlfriend.

"Can you tell me why you did this?" Susan felt that Richards did it on purpose.

Richards put down his work and looked at Susan seriously: "Susan, how long has it been since you cared about Jonathan?"

"Jonathan?" Susan was a little stunned, why did she mention her brother?

But when she talked about her brother, Susan immediately wanted to get angry again.

"By the way! And Jonathan! He does the same, I asked him to be more honest! But he still went to the bar to drink! He was even photographed!"

Susan was both doting and annoyed about her younger brother.

Because she was orphaned at a young age and the two siblings depended on each other for life, Susan had always been afraid that Jonathan would be harmed. In order to make up for the loss of her parents, Susan's love and care for Jonathan reached the point of doting.

And Jonathan also developed his unruly and independent personality.

When Richards heard Susan's complaint, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be taking up too much of Susan's time.

Since Susan followed him, the focus of Susan's life has shifted to him, so that she cares a lot less about Jonathan... But this is normal, as she grows up.

But this still makes Richards feel a little guilty.

"Susan, can't you see that Jonathan's mood is very wrong? He used to be just messing around, but not to this level." Richards said.

Susan was surprised, she didn't understand.

"What's wrong with Jonathan?"

Richards said: "You protected him so well that he always had a childish streak. Public opinion has seriously affected him. Jonathan... is not as strong as you think!"

】

In fact, Richards always felt that Jonathan was just a child before he grew up.

But Susan...what should I say?

I dote on him so much.

Whatever Jonathan wanted, she was satisfied.

It was she who had to take Jonathan with her when they went to space. It was Susan who had to take him with her to form the Fantastic Four. Jonathan had caused so much trouble, and it was Susan who had to solve it!

Fortunately, Jonathan is just a little mischievous and is a kind-hearted child, otherwise he would definitely be a playboy.

But Susan never seemed to notice this. She just wiped his butt and gave him the best. But she hadn't paid attention to Jonathan's real thoughts for a long time.

It's like parents who are busy with their careers and think that they are giving their children the best and everything will be fine.

"You said..." Susan was a little surprised and a little...unbelievable.

"Yes, if I had admitted my mistake on our behalf... even if it was verbal, it would have hurt Jonathan even more. He is a kind boy. He feels guilty about the disaster. Your idea may be good for public opinion, but

For Jonathan, it just made his guilt worse."

"That's why you changed the speech on the spur of the moment?"

It was as if Susan was meeting her boyfriend for the first time.

Richards was a little helpless: "I just don't like these things, it doesn't mean I don't understand. I thought you could see something was wrong with Jonathan."

Susan also thought at this time that before the press conference, Jonathan was indeed not in a good mood.

But at that time, Susan thought Jonathan was having trouble again.

So I didn't care.

Jonathan is actually very similar to Tony, rebellious on the surface, but actually sensitive and fragile on the inside.

Susan: "I...I..."

Then he turned around and ran away.

Went to find Jonathan.

She actually couldn't see it as clearly as Richards. In vain, she always thought she understood human nature better than Richards, but in the end, she didn't even notice that her brother had a mental problem!
