William Stryker carefully considered General Ross's words and understood his intentions.
Firstly, they were already considered bare commanders; even though there were still many troops in their Base who obeyed them, all their direct subordinates were wiped out in this conflict. The guys at The Pentagon would definitely pin the blame on them, and it was uncertain if they could even retain their current brigadier general status. Whether the so-called subordinates in their Base would still obey their orders was also a question.
Secondly, joining the Company offered immense benefits! In just half a year, the Company had managed to spread its influence globally, establishing branch Bases everywhere without being annihilated by various countries. Thinking about it carefully revealed the terrifying power behind this.
Once Stryker and General Ross join the company and are branded with its mark, they can leverage the company's prestige.
At that point, the old men at The Pentagon would have to think and discuss for a while if they wanted to deal with them, and it's even possible they wouldn't dare to utter a peep after learning of their joining the company.
Of course, while the benefits are great, there can't be no downsides.
There's no such thing as perfection in this World.
At least, for ordinary people like them, there's no such thing as perfection!
However, for Stryker and General Ross, who have become lone commanders, even if their actions are restricted, controlled, and commanded by the company after joining—for example, their newly recruited subordinates will all become the company's private soldiers and so on—they can accept all these limitations given the benefits they will receive.
In fact, after seeing the darkened Jean Grey fly into the sky, their desire to join the company only intensified.
In this era where Ability Userss run rampant, in this World where the strong take all, if you can't be strong yourself, then isn't joining the strongest side and closely following their footsteps the most correct thing to do?
Qi Jun didn't know how many unspoken psychological activities Stryker and General Ross had experienced in such a short time.
But Qi Jun was extremely happy when he saw Jean Grey finally transform!
"Hahahahaha!!!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
In his great mood, Qi Jun even said "good" three times, showing how pleased he was.
"Jean Grey has finally completed her darkening!"
"Although it's not the way I originally envisioned."
"But for the result of Jean Grey's complete darkening, that's completely irrelevant!"
Qi Jun evidently thought of the'such and such' operation he had previously instructed White to perform.
He didn't expect that before White's arrangements could take effect, Jean Grey was prematurely darkened by various unexpected situations due to Qi Jun, the big butterfly, flapping his wings and messing up the plot of 'Apocalypse'.
But all of this... doesn't matter; in fact, Qi Jun even wants to applaud these guys!
Because for Qi Jun, after Jean Grey successfully darkened, the time until this Multiverse's Phoenix Force Fragment is devoured by Qi Jun officially entered a countdown!
"Tsk tsk."
"Poor little one."
"Since Jean Grey has successfully darkened,"
"Then it's time to let you out."
Jean Grey's role has largely been fulfilled.
The remaining time is... waiting for the Phoenix Force Fragment to arrive.
As long as Jean Grey doesn't accidentally die or leave Earth before the Phoenix Force Fragment arrives, Qi Jun doesn't plan to interfere; after all, even if Jean Grey instantly ascended to the Skyfather Level after darkening, it wouldn't be enough for Qi Jun to crush her with a single punch.
Qi Jun's gaze fell upon the ruins of the Mutant School, which had been pressed several meters underground by the Impact of the explosion.
Qi Jun clearly sensed that there was still a little girl deeply buried in the rubble.
