227. Wild Nights

[You can read 51 chapters in advance and GOT fic on -patreon.com/misterimmortal.]

The military-industrial complex was a thing of the past after Hector decreased the defense budget by half and put a heavier oversight on weapons manufacturing and selling.

But what was the military-industrial complex? The word gets thrown around everywhere in the modern world, yet nobody really knows much about it. The simple dictionary definition was the relationship between a country's military and the defense industry that supplies it, seen together as a vested interest which influences public policy.

But in simple words, it could be described as the government and weapons manufacturers coming together to f*ck the people.

Where do you think officers who worked at the Pentagon go after retiring? They go to Lockheed Martin. They go to Hammer Industries. They go to Boeing. They go to Raytheon Technologies and whatnot.

They get a fat signing bonus too. Why? Because these officers knew the ins and outs, they got the contacts in the right places. As a result, they can influence the Senators who work in the Defense Committee, who manage and plan the Defense Budget every year.

And guess what? These Senators had stocks in these defense companies. And this, folks, was the military-industrial complex.

However, what happens when the President tells the Senate Committee, the Army, the Air Force, the Navy and the weapons manufacturers to go and eat a fat piece of dog-shit?

And what happens when he decides to decrease the Military Budget? And stops a majority of 70 Billion that was given to Lockheed every year?

The answer is simple: they decide to be dumbasses and fight. Their target was to make America feel unsafe again and force the President to re-invest money in defense due to public outcry.

But they forgot that Hector had been in politics for longer than all of them had been alive. Outsmarting him was like an ant trying to outsmart a human. They can fake all they want, but if humans want to, they are going to get smushed under their feet.

...

Amidst the constant flashes of the cameras, Hector lifted his hand up and snapped his fingers. The Space stones and the mind stones worked there to find the culprits on the planet and make them appear in front of him.

Then a light brighter than the flashes of the cameras appeared behind Hector and took human shapes. Soon after, the light vanished and left behind 68 people, all appearing shocked. Some were even naked because they were taking a bath, and some had their dicks popped out, rock hard because they were in the middle of their debauchery session.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the traitors of the United States of America. Please give them a big round of applause for being the stupidest donkeys alive. Let's start with their introduction. I will go from the highest rank to the lowest.

"First of all, we have Lieutenant General Walley. Then, Senator Punata, Lee, Arnold, Elina... and finally, we have Captain Bishop. Look at their beautiful, treacherous faces. Aren't they lovely folks?"

The cameras clicked on their faces, and the nation watched them live. But most people were just shocked, unable to understand why these people would do such a thing.

Hector used the mind stone and made them come forward one by one and speak the truth. Eventually, it became clear why they did it. Since Hector decreased the military budget and wished to destroy the Military-industrial complex, these companies and officers felt their money and future in dark clouds.

Since they had no pull on Hector and lobbying didn't work, they tried to bomb the cities and put the blame on some new terrorist organization. There were enough nations in the Middle East and Africa to be invaded. Yemen was being bombed anyway. Sending troops there would have kept the military consumption moving on.

By the end, their heads were hanging and looking at the ground. Being so openly shown to the world, they had lost all respect and hope for a future.

Hector spoke on the mic again: "These folks will face actual treason charges and will be prosecuted under U.S. Code Title 18. Some of them will face death, and some will face life in prison, but none of them shall breathe the fresh air as a free man.

"And Lockheed Martin is banned from doing any business, and their production shall stop, and their bank accounts will freeze. All of their executives will also face treason charges. Once everything is clear, the company will return to work as a government entity."

Hector then looked directly into the camera and used his powers to make it take a close-up shot of his face. Then, he stoically started, "I am trying to unite the planet so that we can join the space civilizations. But I am also a big supporter of free-market capitalism. But what these donkeys did was criminal capitalism. There is a significant fine line between the two.

"It is my humble warning to all companies of the world. Stop playing with human lives for money. Because if you don't stop, then I will play with your stocks.

"Also, a warning to Russia. You hacked my mobile phone a few days ago so foolishly. I hope you're having fun with the counter virus I sent you. That was a warning from me. DO NOT MESS WITH ME! Or else I will march to you and let me warn you—your nukes won't save you.

"Anyway. I just got married today and wish to spend the evening with my beautiful wife. To all those people who were injured in the blasts, I hope you have a speedy recovery. Thankfully no deaths or serious injuries were observed.

"Good night, may God bless you all."

He was not going to answer any questions tonight since he had already proved everything he wished to. He said goodnight and flew home.

...

Mount Vernon.

The silence around Hector's home was something he longed for. There was no traffic nearby, no flashing lamps. Only the sound of insects and the water in the river. It was soothing to the mind.

As he entered his home, he was greeted by two excited wolves. "Haha, my wolfies want kisses? Come here then."

Even Fenris had changed entirely and had adjusted to this warm life. Hector was her safety umbrella, so she never had to worry about her safety. All that was expected from her was that she plays with Moony, eats, sleep and enjoy life.

After getting kisses on their foreheads, the two wolves ran back to the living room and sat on the couches again, snuggling together. An action movie called Predator was running on the television.

Hector changed into his night pajamas and walked to the kitchen. Diana was making something while humming some song and shaking her body.

~Damn, I love this woman.~ He couldn't help but think that. She was wearing a long, slightly see-through red negligee, looking absolutely hot.

He hugged her from behind and looked at what she was cooking. "Oh, fried vegetable rice and meatballs? I like it. It's simple and tasty."

She turned her face towards her left shoulder and pecked on Hector's cheek, leaving a red lipstick mark. "I reckon you'd not want to spend too much time eating."

He giggled, "You will be delighted to know that I have cleared my schedule for the next three days, and Jean will be coming in an hour to take the two furballs to her home."

A faint blush remained on Diana's face. She never in her life expected that such a day would come. She was madly in love and very horny. She knew that to some folks, Hector might appear old and unpalatable.

But since she had been by his side for more than a decade now, she knew he was more of a man than anyone she had met in both worlds. And he only had an old-looking face. His body was more toned than the greek gods. Besides, his face didn't even have wrinkles. Only his beard made him look old.

Hector didn't leave her and instead started caressing her toned midriff. But when his one hand started to go lower, he felt a tap from the spatula.

She groaned, "Hector, it's damn hard to focus on cooking already, don't make it harder. You're not the only one that's feeling the heat."

(￣▽￣)"

Hector had never expected the great Wonder Woman to be speaking such words in his life. But now that he did hear that, he felt even more turned on. But everything had a time and place. He was not a sex fiend.

"Indeed, you have made me very hard. But anyway, I will gather the plates. Let's eat in the living room, can't spoil the movie for our furballs." He kissed her on the neck and walked away.

Feeling he was gone, Diana let out a long warm breath. ~He's such a tease. I guess I will take the payback on the bed tonight.~

...

11 AM, two days later.

The house at Mount Vernon was not in very good shape from the inside anymore. There were broken walls, furniture, beds torn apart, and simple destruction everywhere.

While on a thick mattress on the floor, two naked bodies slept while cuddled together, the man spooning the woman. Their mating session had gone a bit wilder than usual this time... animalistic would have been the right word.

But this was normal for beings of their power level. After all, super pricks and depts also needed super thrusts to feel satisfied. But they were not planning to have a child anytime soon. Instead, both were immortal and wanted to first enjoy their life as a married couple for a few thousand years.

RING! RING!—all of a sudden, Hector's phone rang. It was the first in two days as he had told folks not to disturb him.

Hector hovered it to himself and accepted, "What is it, Kennedy. Let me sleep... WHAT?!"

All the sleep vanished from Hector's eyes as he sat up. Diana, too, got up after hearing him being serious and listening silently.

"Who claimed responsibility for the blasts?" He inquired.

Soon he put the phone down and took a long breath. Diana caressed his shoulder and asked what had happened.

"I don't know. This is out of my calculation. Some stupid organisation called NZT has bombed various places around the world at the same time. Kennedy ran the scans on all A.I. databases, but nothing could be found."

"What do they demand?" she asked.

"My dead body."

[A/N: Hey, bros. I am nearing the end of this fic on Patreon, and it will be over by the end of this month. But this time, I'm facing some mental exhaustion from this fic. I do have the ending in mind, but it's taking me time to write it.

So, I will be updating my other fics(One Piece: The Philosopher and GOT: The Flawed Dragon) more on Patreon now while I write the end for this at a slightly slower pace. The release won't be affected on WN, however.

Just telling you so you don't feel scammed after subbing me there.

Gorilla out!]
