Mama Lorraine had so many identities, making her whole identity like a thousand-layer cake, which of course had its reasons.
Anna knew where the three identities—’large farm owner in the countryside’, ‘owner of a private prison company’, and ‘leader of some strange workers’—came from.
It was when their family just transmigrated from the DC side, rednecks were everywhere in Kansas, USA.
Even in the countryside towns in the United States, there was no such thing as the legendary simple folk customs.
Like the KKK Maya gangs and various large and small cult organizations and fraud organizations, plus energetic, activity-loving social organizations, there were just too many.
And it was one thing for rednecks to play racism—after all, Anna’s family were all Europeans—but these guys were also one after another homophobic.
Especially since the two mothers were both so beautiful, each one making people of both genders fall into ruin, and when they had nothing to do, they let others covet and be jealous there.
Now that they had an excuse, those fools in the American countryside who engaged in cult activities every day were bound to swarm in.
Driving their family away would have been considered an act of kindness.
There were even those shouting about doing this and that, and finally burning them alive just like the witches of Daimler.
It made Anna’s family, who had just arrived in the Marvel Universe, seem like they had committed some heinous crime.
However, since this was ultimately a World of Superpowers that valued individual strength.
So, even if the local rednecks and those gang members were there shouting, setting fires, and smashing windows, in front of Espers, these people were ultimately nothing but trash.
Especially around the time Anna had just passed her first month.
She remembered it seemed like Ms.
Lorraine had gone on a business trip for a few days.
Then, throughout Kansas, and in the homes of those rednecks who were acting up the most, for some unspeakable reason, hundreds of gas explosions, thousands of shootings suspected to be committed by dog lovers, and dozens of meteorite impacts inexplicably occurred…
From that time on, the rednecks in the town and the natives of the Marvel Universe never dared to gossip about Anna and her family of three again.
Especially after Ms.
Lorraine suddenly acquired thousands of followers in this World who shouted strange slogans every day, even politicians and officials at the level of state representatives, senators, and governors dared not speak loudly in front of her family of three…
Of course, this is not to say that anyone was holding a gun to their heads.
Anna and her family have never done anything as vulgar as pointing guns at people over the years.
Nor was it because of those thousands of followers under Lorraine who shouted strange slogans.
Those followers were merely hired farmhands with matching uniforms.
Although these people did have a bit of a hobby for shooting and wore bulletproof vests quite neatly, that was just their personal business and a cosplay hobby.
If you want to survive in the United States, who doesn’t have a hobby for shooting?
Right?
Their family’s status in Kansas rose so quickly.
This was, of course, because of Ms.
Lorraine Broughton’s surface-level identity, even though she was just a Police officer in a small town.
But she was a wealthy Police officer who, after accidents became frequent in Kansas and everyone was scrambling to sell their land and flee the dangerous area, used her financial power to make swift acquisitions, single-handedly saving the entire regional land market, and owned 200,000 acres of land.
Of course, being a landlord with 200,000 acres in a decadent capitalist country like the United States is not exactly top-tier.
The total value of the land wasn’t even 700 million US dollars—just a fraction of Tony Stark’s personal assets.
And with such a small land area, there’s no need to compare it to the famous Hudson’s Bay Company in history, which was a super-landlord possessing over 7 million square kilometers of land, occupying nearly two-thirds of Canada.
In that colonial era, that company was equivalent to a nation.
But even in this day and age, 200,000 acres isn’t actually that large.
Because the largest continuous farm in the United States, the Waggoner Ranch, which spans six counties in Texas, has a total area of over 510,000 acres, and that is just a single plot.
Ms.
Lorraine’s 200,000 acres, on the other hand, were divided into six or seven parcels surrounding the town.
Then there is John Malone, the largest contemporary landowner in the United States, who owns 2.2 million acres.
Lorraine Broughton’s 200,000 acres is really just small fry.
Anyway, 200,000 acres of land is just a mere 809 square kilometers or so…
meh!
But even if it was small fry, their status as major farm owners was enough to place Anna and her family in the top tier of the ruling class in Kansas—the top tier that politicians like representatives and governors had to scramble to flatter.
This was why Anna didn’t care much about her identity being exposed.
Because, aside from the difference in scale, they were like Stark—part of the ruling class hidden behind the scenes in the United States.
A mere identity leak was simply not a problem for wealthy families like theirs.
Have you ever seen Stark hiding in the shadows?
Especially after those thousands of agricultural workers who shouted slogans every day moved in, even the former Director Alexander of S.H.I.E.L.D.
dared not provoke them.
So, ever since Ms.
Lorraine became a major landowner in the countryside and acquired thousands of farm workers, the place where Anna lived, under her mother Lorraine’s leadership, gradually began to have very simple folk customs.
Those who weren’t…
Uh, those who weren’t simple were all dealt with by mother Lorraine—ah, phew!
I mean, they were driven away.
Those rednecks who only knew how to talk trash but didn’t dare to take action, shouting every day that they wanted to drive them away, certainly didn’t die.
No matter how ruthless mother Lorraine could be, she was still a reasonable person.
No matter how short the sofa at home was, she hadn’t reached the point of killing someone just because they talked trash.
She simply paid to buy all the land from those trash-talkers at a premium and then told them to get lost.
PS: Yes, both mothers really do look like big Hollywood stars!
Truly…
