**Chapter 140 Mariko Yashida Hotel**
Tang Song felt the unobstructed soft touch behind him and patted Mariko Yashida's fair, firm buttocks.
"However, he isn't facing just one Country. When faced with profit, not everyone chooses to stand against an energy tycoon!"
On the television, as the Senate President struck the gavel, the so-called Trial/Hearing session was declared to have ended without resolution.
This was also within Tang Song's expectations, putting aside the so-called foreknowledge of the movie plot.
Tony Stark was not a Civilian Scientist from a Grassroots Origin who could be easily manipulated.
He couldn't be arbitrarily charged with a crime by the Federal Government and have his inventions plundered.
He had Stark Industries backing him. To deal with him meant facing the powerful Shareholders behind Stark Industries.
The Iron Suit/Armor involved the Arc Reactor, which was directly linked to Stark Industries' energy project. The intertwined interests involved would give even the owner of the White House a headache.
Furthermore, the Stark Family/Clan's Influence in politics was not to be underestimated.
Starting from Howard Stark, through WWII, who knew how many friends the two generations of Starks had among High-level Staff in the Federation?
Tang Song played with the Jade Box in his hand. Wisps of Azure Qi gathered on the surface of the Jade Box, forming a phantom image of a Blooming Green Lotus.
Mariko Yashida circled around to face Tang Song and straddled his lap.
Tang Song held the jade-like Beauty/Beautiful Woman in his arms, pointed at Tony Stark, who was walking out of the Trial Site in a carefree manner on the television, and instructed her, "Do you know what his protective charm is now?"
Mariko was completely naked. Her jade-like arms, resembling pink lotus roots, wrapped around Tang Song's Neck, and she breathed like orchids by his ear.
"What is it?"
Mariko Yashida's Gaze was somewhat hazy. Although she had practiced Swordsmanship with the Vassal Ninjas for a few years.
To put it plainly, she was just an Ordinary Person. Facing the ingenious techniques/skills developed by the Joyous Union Sect that could reach deep into a woman's heart,
Coupled with some small Magic Arts to enhance the mood, in just one night, she had been completely subdued by Tang Song.
"It's the uniqueness of his Technology. The Iron Suit/Armor is Tony Stark's exclusive Technology. If this Technology were to spread out, it would completely replace the current air force system.
The entire world would undoubtedly embark on a new arms race.
This is also the Reason why various Countries are imitating the Iron Suit/Armor.
The Federal Government is also afraid that after falling out, Tony Stark might leak the Technology to other Countries, thereby threatening the Federation's safety.
Moreover, due to the uniqueness of the Arc Reactor Technology, Shareholders like me in Stark Industries wouldn't just watch this goose that lays golden eggs get into trouble.
Hesitating to act for fear of spoiling something important, this Trial/Hearing ended up being left unsettled! If there were a substitute, or if they cracked Tony Stark's Technology, then this Trial/Hearing wouldn't have been so polite!"
Tang Song analyzed the truth behind this Trial/Hearing for Mariko Yashida.
However, Tang Song lowered his head and saw Mariko Yashida's hazy Gaze, knowing that she hadn't listened to much.
"It's a bit cool Outside. I'll warm you up again!"
By the time Tang Song finished being busy and received a phone call, it was already near noon! "Ding Qing?! Tell him to come see me at the Manor at two in the afternoon!"
Tang Song hung up the phone, got out of bed, and went to the Bathroom to wash up.
He turned on the showerhead and, after rinsing, Tang Song casually drew a few Spirit Marks and cast a small Magic Art called Cleansing Art.
A white Spiritual Light flashed, and all the dust and water droplets on Tang Song's Body were completely gone.
This kind of small Magic Art was considered one of the few must-learn small Magic Arts for Cultivators in the Jambudvīpa World.
Getting Started was simple; one could cultivate it as soon as they entered Qi Refining. It belonged to the household Magic Arts among Cultivators, as some Cultivators would enter secluded cultivation in the deep mountains and old forests for several years, or even more than ten years.
They couldn't possibly stop halfway through Cultivation just to boil hot water and take a bath. So, some expert or another invented these small Magic Arts.
The Cleansing Art for cleaning the Body, the Cleansing Art for sweeping away dust, the Water Gathering Talisman for drinking water...
A whole set of small Magic Arts was truly a boon for Cultivators and was widely spread in the Cultivation world of the Jambudvīpa World.
As for why Tang Song didn't use them before, Boss Tang normally didn't need these Things.
His daily life - clothing, food, housing, travel - could be described as exquisitely exquisite. First, let's talk about housing. Just in New York City, he had four Mansions, two Manors, one sea-view Villa, and one comfortable super large flat.
Each house had specialized Maids and chefs on standby at any time. Served hand and foot; if Boss Tang wasn't unaccustomed to it, some of these Maids would even personally serve him in washing up and bathing.
There were some houses Tang Song might not stay in even once a month, but the chefs and Maids there needed to be ready at any time.
Of course, their Salary was paid for the full month, exceeding the New York City Market price by more than double.
Especially the chefs, to cater to Tang Song's taste, Lane, the head Butler, specifically recruited master chefs from famous Restaurants in various Countries around the world.
From Chinese cuisine to Italian cuisine, from French cuisine to Japanese cuisine...
The chef team serving Boss Tang alone exceeded twenty people. The annual Salary expenditure for just these people exceeded ten million US Dollars.
If Boss Tang's financial resources hadn't grown like a snowball during this time, just paying the Salary for these chefs and Maids would be a big problem.
However, for the current Tang Song, this Money was naturally a drop in the bucket.
Tang Song was not an ascetic monk; he couldn't cultivate that Buddhist way. Nor did he want to learn the Daoist Sect's way of secluded cultivation away from the world and create one's own world.
He loved Delicacies, liked living in Mansions, and sleeping with Beauties. Tang Song never restrained himself.
Nor was he afraid of the so-called Inner Demon concept. This was his path of Cultivation in the human world.
...…
"Ding-a-ling!"
Tang Song put on his Bathrobe and opened the Room door. A blonde Beauty/Beautiful Woman wearing a Hotel uniform stood Outside the Presidential Suite door and nodded towards Tang Song, saying:
"Mr. Tang, the lunch you ordered has arrived! Shall I have them bring it to your Room?!"
The woman wore a black professional suit. What was under her white shirt was about to burst out, and her suit pants revealed an astonishing curve when she bent over. Tang Song looked at the Identity Card in front of the woman's white shirt, "Mary Hughes".
The Hotel's Presidential Suite had a specialized Butler who only provided service to the guests in the Presidential Suite, basically on call.
Mary Hughes was the private Butler for this Presidential Suite.
Tang Song nodded, opened the door and let them in, and turned around to enter the bedroom on his own.
Mary Hughes gestured backwards, swaying her peach-shaped buttocks, and led two Servers into the Room.
The two Hotel Servers wore white chef uniforms and chef hats, pushing a Hotel Dining Cart.
In the dining area specially partitioned off in the Presidential Suite,
Under Mary Hughes's Command, the two Servers took out the silver plates covered with silver covers from the Dining Cart one by one.
Aspic of white bamboo shoots and shrimp, Egg and tomato salad, sea eel soup, pan-fried scallops with Foie Gras, crab roe and live shrimp,
Curried oil smoked shrimp segments, pan-fried lobster meat, tomato and thyme cod, baked asparagus, salmon cream terrine...
Soon, the dining table was filled with various French feasts. Mary Hughes bent down and took out a Decanter from the Dining Cart. Inside the transparent Decanter vessel was well-aerated Red Wine.
"Mr. Tang, this is a Bordeaux red wine from Pétrus Winery's Peng Manor. It's a small token of appreciation from our Hotel! We wish you and your female companion a pleasant meal!"
The beautiful female private Butler arranged the wine utensils and placed the Knife and Fork for Tang Song and Mariko Yashida.
With her hands clasped in front of her chest, she bowed slightly towards them, then left the Room with the two Servers.
Mariko Yashida wiped her hair and walked out of the Bathroom.
As she walked, a pair of slender and fair beautiful legs were revealed under her female Bathrobe.
Tang Song chuckled lightly. A silver light glowed on his Palm, and Heavenly River True Essence stroked over the scrapes/abrasions on her Body...
After a wave of warm current, Mariko Yashida looked down and saw that all the red marks on her legs had completely disappeared.
"So magical!"
Mariko Yashida touched her knees, which had been restored to their original state, and exclaimed in surprise.
