Chapter 236: Retired

Chapter 236: Retired

[You can read chapters in advance and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]

Around the world, many phones started to ring, and messages began to spread. Then, in a matter of seconds, the world came to a sudden halt as people took out their phones to see the speech by the President.

Now sitting at 400 million viewers, this was the live stream that broke all records.

"I shall be resigning from the position of President of the United States of America... I know it may come off as a surprise to you all, but I've been thinking about it.

"In my time as the leader, I've been called a tyrant, a thief, a warmonger, a dictator, and a communist. I've seen the turn of centuries twice. The first time it brought us the world war, and the second time it brought us alien invasion. The speed of change is unimaginable.

"Don't worry, this time I won't be going missing. I will still be doing some work, but not as the US president. In this post, I have already done enough. There was a time when the government used to be a slave to corporations. It used to wage wars and do regime changes for these companies.

"To hell with the free market if that free-market comes at the cost of a thousand dead bodies of the innocents. All this time, I did my job as a politician, but the world seems to be forgetting that I was a soldier before everything.

"I gave enough time to all the criminals of the world. The time is up. Now I will hunt each one of you down and drag your faces on the asphalt roads. If you are a corrupt company, I will destroy your business. If you are a corrupt official, I will make you stand naked with a board hanging by your neck detailing your crimes.

"I vowed to turn this planet into a space civilisation, and to do that, if I have to become the Grand General once again, I will.

"My words stand for all nations too. If any politician or dictator in the world decides to wage war anywhere, no matter how big... expect me. Expect your skull under my foot.

"Good night, signing off... ah, one more thing. The new President will be the new Vice President of the United States, Nicholas Joseph Fury. A marvelous patriotic man, the one who created Avengers. I trust him to run this nation with an unwavering will.

"Take care."

He switched off the live stream and looked at the flabbergasted face of Fury. "Shut your mouth, or a fly will explore it. Now come here and take a hug."

Fury robotically moved and hugged Hector. "I... I will be the President?"

"Haha, congratulations, boy. You're going to be one badass-looking President with your eyepatch." Hector patted his back.

Fury babbled something. "You do understand. You just made the first-ever black President?"

Hector scoffed. "Fuck that. I don't give a crap about your race. I've lived with aliens in space for more than two decades. You being black or Asian is not even noticeable to me.

"And I suggest you don't look at this position from the lens of the race either. Don't let that get in your head. I have removed the nation's wealth inequality, so there is no space for racial politics anymore.

"And you just wait, maybe after your second term, Yelena will become the president, the first woman president."

Fury took his advice to heart and nodded the whole time. This was the mother of all promotions in his eyes, from the director of SHIELD to the US president. But that left a question. "What are you going to do now?"

"Haha, I have a position empty for me as well. So I will go and take that office. It will be announced in a few days, just wait for the surprise. I will now go and have a good night's sleep with my wife. My headaches are now yours, have fun."

He walked out to the balcony of the White House and flew away into the sky.

Now alone, Fury looked at the office of the President. He went ahead and sat down on the chair, wanting to feel the power. But only a frown appeared on his face. "Ugh... it's not that comfortable. What a hype killer. I guess I should call Agent Hill to become my chief of staff... wait, who will take my position?"

Diana was also left shocked by the news. "I agree with that, dear."

"WOOF!" Moony announced his return as the portal appeared. Fenris followed him behind.

The two fluffies quickly jumped onto the sofa and cuddled with their parents. Hector and Diana also didn't shy away from giving them hugs and kisses. They were, after all, like their kids.

"What did Yao teach you?" Hector asked.

"Wuwu woof wowow." Moony quickly pointed at the thin gold chain on Fenris' neck. ~Baldy gave her this. It can protect her from dust and rain.~

Hector ruffled Fenris' hair. "Good girl. I was thinking about getting Hela out now. Do you want to see her again?"

Fenris paused as if thinking deeply about something. Then she looked Hector in the eyes, herself looking conflicted about her feelings. She wondered if she should meet Hela or not. After all, the woman was very violent.

"Come here, girl." Hector hugged the she-wolf and patted her head. "Don't worry. I will make sure she has no power. This will mean she can't make war or hurt anybody."

"Wuf." Fenris finally agreed.

"All right then, it's time for our family to go out on a short excursion. I will announce my new work position to the world when I return. Let's go, let's goooo..." He rushed them up jokingly.

...

White House, Oval Office

"I hate this job. It was a bloody trap. I just know it."

"Sir, you have another bundle to look into." Agent Hill walked in with a stack of files and put them on the table. There were already fifteen stacks of files that Fury had to look into.

The bald pirate sighed. "Can I resign and make you the President?"

"That will disappoint Mister Washington, sir."

"MOTHER FUCKER! This is hell... All right, give me all the files. I guess I'm a slave now, this time to the entire nation."
