Marvel: Mr. President

Chapter 214: Great Invention!

A few hours ago,

Back in Korea, he found a man named Hwang Sang-ki. He had a daughter named Hwang Yu-mi. Hwang Yu-mi was a 22-year-old woman working at Samsung's Giheung semiconductor plant. She began working at Samsung in 2003 as an operator on one of the assembly lines.

She initially worked on the diffusion process, which involved exposure to carcinogenic substances like benzene and TCE. She later began working on the "wet etching" process, which involves repeatedly dipping components in chemical baths. In 2005 she started complaining about fits of dizziness and nausea, so the factory's infirmary physicians sent her to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia.

She began chemotherapy treatment, and after additional treatment, her cancer went into remission in the summer of 2006. Despite this, Yu-mi relapsed in January 2007 and died three months later. Doctors, however, noted that her symptoms were from an old person with Leukaemia, and what happened to her didn't make sense.

With extreme debt on the head of her taxi driver father, he went to Samsung to ask for compensation. They handed four checks of a thousand dollars, while the medical expenses were fifty thousand.

This prompted him to file a court case, but how could he expect justice if Samsung alone accounted for 12 per cent of Korean GDP? Moreover, the company was in the grasp of a family and its descendants. From the board to high-ranking employees, the family was spread throughout.

This was a typical scene in capitalistic Korea. There was a word for thischaebol. Particularly the Chairman of Samsung had enough power to get rid of the President of the nation if he wanted.

Now, Hector had no problem with who ran the company or how many family members worked in it. But the fact that it had the power to control the government and knowingly mess with human lives by not adhering to safety standards in semi-conductor manufacturing didn't sit well with him.

So, he used his powers. If not now, there was no point in having it. He will let it be an example for the world to see. This is what happens when a company tries to spread its wings too much and dictate politics.

The United States was also crippling by various lobbyists not long ago. But he had stomped on their necks already.

...

Just as Hector announced his decision to ban Samsung from doing business in the US. The investigative reports about the company's involvement in controlling politics and their dangerous management in manufacturing came to light.

With that, other nations had no problem following the US's path. The ban was temporary anyway. As long as the company fixes itself and the relevant people are punished by law, things will go back to being normal.

Simple to say, the stock price of Samsung plummeted. It went on a nosedive, and the company's market price was reduced by 70%. It was worth noting that Samsung was much bigger than just televisions and mobile phones. They made too many things for the world.

Hector knew he had to give some clarification before conspiracy theorists took over. So he called some journalists to his home in Mount Vernon and gave an interview live on a stream.

With Moony and Fenris playing fetch with Diana in the background, he answered the questions. "I love capitalism. I run the biggest oil company in the world. But remember what I said after I got elected? I will fix the planet's climate in the year 2020. We have eight years to exploit the resources and force humanity to push out of poverty and attain technology that will allow us to survive on renewable energy.

"We have already achieved renewable energy in electricity thanks to Stark Industries. But then I hear news about companies not caring about people. Then people fall sick from unsafe work conditions. If you remember, I punished Walmart years ago for their unfair practices. Why do you think I will allow Samsung to do it?

"If Apple, Microsoft, or such companies do it, I will punish them as well. They can make as much money as they want, but if it's being made on dead bodies, I will make sure the culprits die in prison as poor men."

The interviewer was a pretty woman from some Wolf News. "What about Korea? By hurting Samsung, you have also hurt the Korean economy."

"Oh, it's all temporary. I was initially in Korea to talk about some investments to boost them up. It's still going to happen once they get the mess fixed. Business families should remain business families. If they try to become political dynasties, that's the end of any nation. I have said this before and will repeat this. I am steering the United States away from the policy of the National Interest to World Interest.

"The United States is already rich. We can take care of all our citizens just fine. But the rest of the world needs some help. I have cut down our military spending by four hundred billion already, and it has helped us tremendously in providing better public healthcare, roads, and infrastructure to people. New York City is also turning out pretty good.

"I'm very confident about the future of the world. What I did to Samsung was just a reaction to their own actions. I have no personal vendetta."

The reporter glanced at her watch. There was not much time left. So she asked one last question, "Just this last one. Are you immortal? How do you think the world will remember you in the future?"

Hector thought about this one. He sure was not going to stay here forever, as one day he'd have to return to hell to work. "No, I am not immortal. One day, I will truly be gonesilently. I wonder if people will miss me then. But one thing I can guarantee is that I will make Earth a space civilization before that."

"I hope that happens before I grow old, sir. I would very much love to walk on the moon before I die." she ended the interview with that.

After the crew left, he joined Diana and the wolves to play with them. Moony and Fenris had become great friends right now, and Moony was not rushing it. He knew it was better to go slow than be friend-zoned.

"Okay, whoever gets the ball first gets a whole fried chicken." Hector offered.

The two wolves got excited in an instant and waited. *WOOSH* As soon as Hector's arm moved, they were on the run. However, Moony was faster and jumped to grab it mid-air.

However, he then barked at Fenris, "Wuf!"

And so they came to the agreement that the chicken would be shared equally. Moony was being cheeky, it seemed.

"SIR! I GOT IT!"

Just then, a dwarf seemed to appear, running toward Hector. It was none other than Bolivar Trask, the guy Hector had put to work years ago. He was now an old man, but the funny part was how he looked similar to the giant of Nidavellir.

"What is it, boy?"

"I CRACKED IT! The last problem. I can do it now. I can make a machine to tell what a person's mutant ability will be and activate their X-gene." Trask announced excitedly.

Hector left whatever he was doing and rushed to Trask. Unfortunately, the man was too short to run that far fast. "Did you make the machine?"

"No, I need more funds for that. But I have the whole plan ready. If I get help from Magneto and Charles, I can make this much faster. Maybe in a year. SIR! Do I get the presidential medal of science now?" Trask was hungry for recognition more than anything else.

Hector nodded, "Just a medal? Lad, I will announce a day on the calendar in your name if you can make it. Use whatever money you need from the KingTech funds. I will tell Charles and Magneto."

"WOOF!"

Suddenly Fenris jumped on Trask and held him down, "Grrr..."

"WOOOOO!" Moony came running like a firetruck. ~You can't eat him, Fenris. He's human. Just a little one.~

~Why does he look like Eitri?~ she asked.

Hector sighed, "I wonder that too, dear. But I promise this guy is not Eitri. Look at his size. He's one-fourth of Eitri."

"That hurts more than her jaw," Trask mumbled.

"Eitri is from an alien species of giants. They are even taller than me." Hector clarified.

Trask sighed in envy, "Sometimes I hate being born a human. Lucky bastards."

"I will make you taller if you complete the machine. You want to be six feet tall? It's all a mere snap away."

*WOOSH*

"I will see you in a year, sir!" Trask was already gone.
