Chapter 326: Chapter: 326
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the United Nations assembly to convene.
Today, not only were all the existing members of the Avengers gathered here, but also representatives from the 117 countries that signed the "Seoul Accords," along with the current king and heir of Wakanda.
Outside the venue, journalists from various countries were equipped with their cameras and microphones, conducting live interviews and broadcasts of this momentous event.
It could be said that at this moment, the world's attention was focused on the Vienna United Nations Assembly, witnessing the formal signing of the "Seoul Accords" by the Avengers and the official opening of Wakanda's doors, as it joined the United Nations.
"Hello, Mr. Stark, please come over here to sign in!"
Guided by the staff at the conference, Mark wrote his name at the registration desk. Just as he was about to turn and enter the main hall, he noticed a well-built young Black man approaching from not too far away.
"It's a pleasure to meet you here today, Mr. Mark Stark! I've heard of your name for a long time. I am Prince T'Challa of Wakanda."
The person before him was none other than T'Challa, who had yet to formally take up the mantle of the Black Panther.
Mark shook hands politely with T'Challa and exchanged some courteous words. They hadn't met before, neither in public nor in private, and their relationship couldn't even be described as acquaintances. It was somewhat surprising to Mark that T'Challa had taken the initiative to approach him.
However, before Mark could voice his curiosity, T'Challa provided an answer directly: "My sister, Shuri, is also a genius young woman. She is the brightest mind in all of Wakanda, making scholars and professors who meet her feel inadequate.
But she greatly admires you. She said that the series of technological innovations you've created not only amazed her, but also provided her with a lot of inspiration.
She heard that you were the one who invented the Vibranium suit used in the Battle of Seoul. Shuri has creatively applied nanotechnology to the Vibranium, fully developing its properties for absorbing and releasing kinetic energy.
She gained a lot of inspiration from it and has set a goal to achieve similar functionality in her own inventions.
However, when she heard that I would have the chance to meet you at this United Nations conference, she asked me to greet you on her behalf and also request an autograph."
"Oh?! I didn't expect my inventions to earn the recognition of Princess Shuri. That's truly an honor for me.
There's no problem with getting an autograph; it's a small favor to ask, really. But please refrain from using the title "Mr. Stark" anymore. I'm only twenty years old, and there's not much age difference between us. You can just call me Mark.
I hope that after the meeting, I'll have the opportunity to visit Wakanda, which is opening its doors to the world. By then, I hope to engage with Princess Shuri in scientific discussions and research."
"Alright, Mark! Wakanda welcomes you and all the members of the Avengers at any time. Thank you for your autograph. I'm glad we had this enjoyable conversation today, and I hope you won't feel uncomfortable during the upcoming meeting."
"What's wrong? Is Wakanda not agreeing to sign the new accord? After negotiating for so long to establish the new terms, I wouldn't want any surprises today." Mark showed no sign of nervousness or discomfort and spoke casually.
"It's not that! King T'Chaka, my father, has already officially signed the accord. However, I believe that this kind of political maneuvering might be beyond your comfort zone, given that you're someone who pursues science and justice.
My sister has an interesting perspective on the accord that will be signed at this meeting. She said that two people making decisions are more efficient than over a hundred people discussing in a meeting room. I quite agree with her."
"Isn't this the world of adults? There are always some things that need compromise for the greater good.
I'm the kind of person who, once a decision is made, won't hesitate. So, even in a meeting like today, where dirty dealings are laid bare, I can still remain calm and composed."
Just as T'Challa was about to continue his conversation with Mark, a deep and aged voice came from the side, "T'Challa, I didn't expect you to find a friend at the meeting so quickly. Hello, young Mr. Stark."
"Hello, Your Majesty. Your son is remarkable, and outstanding individuals naturally attract and resonate with each other. Our conversation was very pleasant, and the meeting is about to begin. I must take my seat. It was a pleasure to meet you."
Mark nodded to T'Chaka and T'Challa and then turned to take his place.
"T'Challa, you said you don't like diplomacy, but from what I saw, you did quite well just now!" T'Chaka said with a pleased smile.
"Thank you, Father. But not everyone is as pleasant to converse with as Mark. However, for the sake of Wakanda, I'll try to make an effort."
"You've already done well, T'Challa. You and Shuri will forever be my pride. I believe that placing Wakanda in your hands will bring about a more glorious future."
T'Chaka looked at the future Black Panther with a tender and gentle expression, his hand gently caressing T'Challa's face.
...
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats as arranged by the staff, and kindly maintain silence in the hall. Our meeting is about to begin."
Next, let us welcome His Majesty King T'Chaka of Wakanda to deliver the first speech—"
As the voice of the announcer echoed through the venue's broadcast, everyone immediately shifted their focus, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant. Except for the sound of camera shutters from on-site journalists, there was not a single trace of noise.
With everything ready, King T'Chaka, taking a moment to adjust his suit collar and lapel, energetically walked up to the podium.
After reciting a long passage of formalities, T'Chaka's speech finally delved into the main topic: "… I believe that before the representatives of each country arrived here to sign their names on the 'Seoul Accords,' you were already aware of the devastating consequences of the battle in Seoul.
This is the dire consequence of stolen Vibranium from Wakanda being turned into a terrible weapon. Because of this, we, Wakanda, have had to reevaluate the traditions we have held in the past.
We will open our long-sealed borders to welcome all nations genuinely interested in engaging with Wakanda. Together, we will discuss concrete strategies regarding the Vibranium issue.
We will strive to reshape the current world, bringing Wakanda back into the public eye. For this, I am very grateful for the Avengers taking the first step, enabling Wakanda to achieve success in its initial attempt to promote world peace…"
As the speech reached an impassioned climax, King T'Chaka was preparing to conclude his speech on the highest note, but at that moment, his son, T'Challa, suddenly rushed toward him, shouting, "Get down!"
Boom—! Accompanied by a deafening explosion, King T'Chaka was engulfed by a blaze…
