Chapter 266: PIL

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

The whole world was stuck to their phone, television, or computer screens on the 10th of December, 2018. Because a show that was hyped over around the world for more than a year since its announcement was finally going to air its first episode.

Master Chef, Universe Edition. Staring 20 aliens from different planets and species, while the judges included Hector, Diana, Michu, Grand Priestess Ayesha, Empress Veranke, and Odin. Meanwhile, the anchors will be the famous Jim Carrey, Moony, and Fenris.

There were various deals made with channels around the world and streaming services. There was something for everyone because the whole world was demanding to watch it.

Hector was at his home and watched the first episode with Diana, Natasha, Yelena, Peter, MJ, Ned, Jean, Loki, and a few other youngsters close to him. They were just going to enjoy the final cut.

So, with Popcorn ready, they sat around to watch an hour-long episode.

[Episode 1]

"Woof" Moony's face appeared, barking. Then the lights behind lit up, revealing the big kitchen with all kinds of tools. Soon after, the Judges walked in and stood beside the good boy.

The show started with the introduction of Judges. It was a short one.

Hector: Man of Democracy.

Diana: Goddess of War

Michu: Potato

Grand Priestess Ayesha: Ruler of Sovereign system

Empress Vernake: Ruler of Kree Federation

Odin: Daddy of Thor

That was their description, then started the introduction of the participants. There were all kinds of aliens, green, blue, red, yellow, purple, and all such colors or shapes.

Jim Carrey then carried the show on his massive comical back as he made fun of all aliens, sometimes comparing them to fictional characters. Of course, he didn't spare any human contestants either.

"Oh, there we have our smurf friend, smile for the camera, my friend." Jim walked to Yondu, who was participating. But he looked confused.

"Hehehe..."

"What a smile, my friend. You gave them sharks a run for their money." Jim indirectly made fun of Yondu's strange teeth and looked at the table. "So, what are you cooking for the judges?"

"Egg."

"Something with eggs? Hmm, like what?" Jim asked.

But Yondu showed a serious face. "Boiled eggs."

Jim showed a fallen jaw face as he looked at Yondu. "Are you serious?"

"Well, it's not a normal egg. I got it from a distant star system. It appears only on certain days of the year, from the depth of the Ligma star system. The Titi animal lays eggs and dies right on them, then melts and creates a coating around the egg. It's very delicious."

"So this thing is an egg with a coating of a dead parent? Well, I can't help but feel nice not to be one of the judges. May their tongues rest in peace."

The show then continued. There were people from Gamora's planet, from Kul's planet, Xandarians, Skrulls, Kree and such. They made the food they were supposed to.

In the end, the judges had plates in front of them. Now, they had already made sure that nothing is made that is unpalatable for them because some species do eat some nasty things. Like the egg that Yondu brought that got him disqualified.

Hector and Diana also fed little Michu sitting at the table between them. Odin ate everything up like it was the last meal of his life and didn't say much bad about anything. Meanwhile, Ayesha and Empress Vernake were highly judgmental and made a few contestants cry. While Hector was a master of words and said bad things with such charisma that the other person didn't even understand they were being judged.

Diana was the same. She noted down all the bad things while sounding sweet. Meanwhile, Pichu, well, his judgment was the same. What he liked, he'd eat it all, and what he didn't, he'd throw off the table, making the contestants cry.

On the first day, about three people got eliminated, and one disqualified. The show was a hit; people loved seeing aliens not trying to attack their planet. While in space, where the show was also being broadcasted, people came to know about Earth and the isolated part of the universe it was in.

With that, the episode came to an end, generating billions for various companies on the same day. However, there was a surprise waiting for Hector the next day.

...

As Hector returned to his office, he was visited by none other than Matt Murdock, his official attorney.

"What happened, kid? You got into trouble this time?" Hector joked.

But Matt put forward a document. "This is a summon from the Supreme Court. The other two political parties have filed a Public Interest Lawsuit against you regarding overreach of authority and monopolizing federal decision-making unconstitutionally even when you're not a member of any US Federal body."

Hector read and snorted. "Overreach regarding what? I do thousands of things around the world that are overreaching every government in the world. These fools need to be specific."

()

"Please don't say that in court, sir. The PIL is likely against you solely handling alien affairs without any governmental oversight. It is believed that if you make a mistake, it could be disastrous for the whole planet. And this is a view that many world governments share."

~It seems I need to make some shadow regime changes before offering the World Without Borders plan to these nations.~ Hector thought in his head. Sadly, he could not just snap as, by now, every nation had formed its own overpowered supernatural or mutant teams that ensured its top policymakers were not being influenced. Telepaths were the highest in demand.

"Do I have to go to the court personally?"

Matt nodded. "Sadly, you must this time. A hearing is set for tomorrow. They are calling an emergency session because the topic of discussion is also whether they should ban your show."

"Well, they can try all they want. I already have all the things needed inside my headno need to prepare. I will shut them up. Also, just as I will be in the courtroom, proof of corruption by the politicians who are trying to tarnish my hard work of uniting the world will be released. This will be a great lesson for them. If they are going to come after me, they better be as clean as a whistle."

Matt didn't have anything against that. "Alright, let's get all the documentation done then. I believe the hearing will be televised, but please note that this is not a criminal hearing. This is litigation. They must first prove that what they are accusing you of is true."

"Great, let them try then. Now, I need to head to shoot the next episode of the Master Chef. We're having Hulk as a guest today. Let's see if his peanut brain can cook something, haha." Hector carelessly got up and left.

Matt just sighed. His client was not serious about anything. But he reckoned that if he was Hector, he'd not care either.

...

The next day, on time, Hector arrived at the Supreme Court on his motorbike, wearing his usual red uniform. His mere presence was overwhelming. Even the court guards saluted him for no reason.

Amidst all the camera flashes, he entered and took a seat in the designated spot. He was not supposed to speak in cases like these until asked to. In all honesty, he didn't need a lawyer, but he didn't want to take Matt's golden case.

Soon, a few people filled the court hall. Lawyers from the accusing side were also there, and Hector waved a hello.

"Ah, Mister President... I mean, Mister Washington."

Just then, a group of five Judges appeared at the judge's bench, all with smiles on their faces as they said hello to Hector.

He also responded by taking their names one by one.

Of course, Hector had overseen the appointment of all these Judges, so they were pretty loyal to him, and they knew how much pull Hector still had on things.

"Please, have a seat, sir." The main presiding judge requested, telling Hector to sit before everyone else, and once he did, the judges sat. It was a show of respect on another level.

Soon, the hearing started. The argument from the other side was simple. "Mister Washington has been in contact with alien powers and has been organizing things on behalf of the United States Government, even when he is not a governmental employee. I want the court to ask, by what capacity is he engaging with the aliens?"

Hector wanted to laugh. ~This motherfucker, I'm the bloody President of three galaxies. That's my capacity.~

But he had a better and more down-to-earth reply. So he told Matt Murdock to ask for permission. "Honorable Judges, Mister Washington would like permission to respond to the allegations himself."

"Of course, the floor is yours, sir." The head judge was totally sucking up.

Hector cleared his throat and responded with a smile. "It seems these folks didn't do their preparation very well. To answer your questions, no nation in the entire world has an office of Space Affairs. Meanwhile, I am the President-General of the United Nations. I am the head of UNOOSA, United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs.

"So my work is not on behalf of a nation, but the entire world. Besides, I also have permission from President Fury because he believes, like most others, that no other man on this planet is more capable of interacting with alien species than me."

The Plaintiff's side hurried to look at their documents and the Ipads to look for papers and other items. It was true, UNOOSA was a department not very famous. It was just a meme before the invasion. So, it was understandable that they overlooked it.

"T-Then we would like to call for proof of transfer of powers from the President's office." They requested.

Matt Murdock raised his voice. "Already submitted, please check article five. It is signed by the President himself."

The Judges discussed among themselves and quickly came to a conclusion. They simply announced their verdict. "Public Interest Litigation has been rejected due to no grounds for it to proceed. We are sorry for wasting your time, Mister Washington."

Hector shrugged. "Oh, it's alright. All good things have an evil opponent. I just hope they will like my gifts."

Yes, the world outside was on fire. Corruption scandals, sex scandals, harassment scandals, pedos, all kinds of things were coming to light with enough proof to make the accused dig their own graves.

Hector simply proved that no one could come after him, be it someone physically strong or politically.

He was the King, as apparent by 'King' in his name.
