Chapter 36 Unforeseen Changes
(There will be three shifts today, the second shift will be from 1 to 2 noon, and the third shift will be around 8 pm. Readers are welcome to watch.)
"I haven't officially introduced myself yet. You can call me Frank, Frank Custer." Frank extended his hand to Li Jie and said.
"Hello Frank, I need more of you last time, otherwise I might have died. You should continue to call me Nightcrawler." Li Jie said after shaking hands with Frank.
"Okay, Nightcrawler. Have you had a conflict with the Staniches lately?" Frank's eyes became a little sharper.
"Why do you ask that?" Li Jie frowned, not knowing what Frank meant by asking this question.
"I've been staring at a warehouse of the Stainech family recently." Frank turned his eyes to the direction of the dock area, not staring at Li Jie. "Their recent actions are a little weird."
"Like?" Li Jie asked. "For example, their defense intensity has improved by several levels now." Frank took out a pack of cigarettes and pulled out one to signal Li Jie's need.
Li Jie shook his head and rejected Frank's cigarette, and Frank lit one for himself and continued. "Do you know Red Water Security Company?"
It was a familiar name, and Li Jie and Peter were secretly appalled at the power Redwater Security had at the time. They could drop half of Brooklyn's police surveillance programs.
This is not something that ordinary groups can do. As a megalopolis, the area and population of one district in New York have far exceeded those of many ordinary cities.
"I do know Red Water Security Company, and I also know that they have outsourced most of the surveillance programs in Brooklyn." Li Jie didn't hide it either, because it was not good for either of them to hide it at this time.
He was also very curious about the origin of this mysterious Red Water Security Company. "I didn't expect that they still have such great power." Frank heard Li Jie's words and said after a moment of silence.
"I investigated the Red Water Security Company, which is a mercenary company in the name of security." In the dark night, only the light of the cigarette in Frank's hand could be seen faintly flickering. "The main business of their company is the mercenary business."
"Including providing protection to other companies in the Middle East, or eliminating terrorists near oil companies." Frank said lightly.
"And they've taken on a lot of government projects, including urban security in Afghanistan and Iraq. The U.S. government outsources them," Frank said after taking his last puff.
"Recently, I think, Redwater Security's mercenaries have been added to the Stainech family's defense. They are significantly better equipped and trained, and most of them have been on the battlefield!"
Li Jie was a little silent when he heard Frank's words. This should be the change brought about by the last time Peter and Peter cleared out the drug trading site in the underground garage.
The Steinich family is more cautious, and what role does Redwater Security play in this matter? Things became more and more complicated, and Li Jie started to have a big head.
"Frank, do you know that there are mutants in Red Water Security Company? Or transform mutants." Li Jie suddenly had another hunch. Was the invisible mutant that he encountered in the underground garage last time from Red Water Security Company?
"Mutants? This is not so easy to find." Frank said uncertainly.
"I met a mutant before when I was dealing with an underground trading point of the Stanage family." Li Jie immediately recounted his last encounter in the underground garage.
"The mutant you mentioned is most likely from the Redwater Security Company." Frank also believed that the mutant belonged to the Redwater Security Company. He had been tracking the Steinich family for several months, and he had not found any insiders in their family. There are signs of mutants. "Maybe other mutants came along, maybe just for me to deal with us."
"Why do you want to provoke the Stanage family? I remember I told you last time that this family is not easy to provoke." Frank asked Li Jie's purpose.
Naturally, Li Jie couldn't say that it was for the task, so he said. "Do you think I'm a good old man who suffered a loss, was almost killed by them and pretended to be okay and let them go?"
"Hmph~ tit for tat." There seemed to be a smile on Frank's zombie face. "An eye for an eye." Li Jie continued Frank's words and finished the sentence.
"This is my contact information. The password is to tap the microphone three times, three short and one long." Frank left a contact information to Li Jie, and Li Jie also gave Frank his contact information. "Keep in touch, and I'll let you know if there's anything going on with the Staneich family."
Li Jie watched Frank leave, but did not expect that he would actually wade into such deep muddy waters. Now even if you want to get out of it, I'm afraid it won't work.
Inside the Osborne Group the next afternoon.
"I heard that the experiment was successful." Tim, the CEO of the Osborne Group, asked in Dr. Connors' office.
"Yes, now the two experimental mice are healthy." Dr. Connors said with some pride.
"Then start the human trial right away." Tim is not interested in the mouse trial, he needs the data of the human trial.
"What? No!" Dr. Connors couldn't believe Tim's decision. "We've only just started in vivo trials! We still don't know if it will cause harm to humans!"
"We need more experimental data to verify, and where do we go to find volunteers to test!" Dr. Connors did not want to do such a simple and hasty human trial, because it could easily have irreversible and terrible consequences.
"Volunteers? Just go to the Disabled Veterans Hospital. Doctor, you have to understand that we are running out of time!" Tim's words were cold and cruel. "Norman Osborn's life is coming to an end!"
"Tim! You have to know that no one can avoid death, except God." Dr. Connors was still trying to convince Tim. "Even Norman Osborn can't save himself at the cost of someone else's life!"
"Doctor, I think you need to rest for a while. I will temporarily relieve you from all positions in the Osborn Group. I will resume it after you understand. I will give you enough human test data." Tim did not show any emotion. made his own decision.
Tim took an injection of serum and left Dr. Connors' lab. And Peter Parker, who was in the observation room of the laboratory, didn't know what had just happened.
Peter devoted his attention to the observation of the experimental data.
"Raney, help me prepare a car, I'm going to the Disabled Veterans Hospital." Tim casually ordered to his assistant when he walked to his office.
"Oh, that's Mr. Tim. Mr. Harry Osborne will have a hearing in ten minutes," said Tim's confidant, Rainey. "Mr. Harry ordered you to be present at the meeting."
Under Li Jie's suggestion, Harry relied on Norman Osborn's prestige to gradually settle various obstacles within the Osborne Group, and has obtained some rights within the group and the support of some shareholders.
Harry is no longer tied up at the company as he used to be, and now Harry has started to lead a separate project himself. There is a project on the individual air vehicle of the US military.
If the project comes to fruition, potential buyers will include not just the United States, but many of its allies. It can be said that it is a very promising project.
And he is preparing to hold a new hearing today. He wants to settle the differences and constraints within the shareholders and make the implementation of the project more smoothly.
And Tim, as Harry's strong support within the company, Harry must let him attend the hearing, after all, as the CEO Tim's speech within the group is still quite heavy.
"Okay, Rainey has a mission for you." Tim handed the suitcase containing the serum to Tim. "Go to the Disabled Veterans Hospital and find Dr. Sean. He'll know what's needed from him."
"Understood, sir." Rainey didn't ask what was in the box or what to do with Dr. Sean. That's what a good confidant should do. As long as the boss doesn't say anything, don't ask too much, just do all the boss's instructions.
Dr. Connors sat decadently in his office for an unknown time, and there was a test serum in front of him. The test serum has not been confirmed to be completely reliable, how can it be tested in humans?
Even human trials must be done on volunteers who sign up, not disabled veterans in the dark.
Dr. Connors was tormented, as if he had made a difficult decision. Connersbo picked up the serum in front of him and prepared to test it on himself. Come on~ Science needs a little dedication! Dr. Connors growled to himself inwardly.
"Oh~! No! Doctor, are you crazy!" Just as Dr. Connors was about to inject the serum into his body, Peter suddenly appeared in Dr. Connors' office.
Peter grabbed Dr. Connors' serum and said in a bad tone. "There may be something wrong with our serum, doctor."
What Li Jie said to Peter changed the fate of Dr. Connors, but his previous idea of helping Harry also changed the fate of the Osborne Group.
The original Peter should not have appeared at this time to prevent Dr. Connors from injecting the serum, and Harry should have been caught in the power struggle of the board, and there was no time to summon Tim to the hearing on the new project.
Now the story has slipped to the side that Li Jie never thought of.
(Recently, some book friends complained about the internal power, and felt that the appearance of internal martial arts in the Marvel world is very inconsistent. I also read a post in the book review area to explain it. Now I will explain it here:
The internal power system is one of Marvel's own power systems. In the 1970s, Marvel created a superhero who uses internal power and Chinese martial arts.
His name is Iron Fist and he is also a friend of Iron Man Tony Stark. The ability of Iron Fist is to infuse his hands with internal force, making his hands indestructible, like a diamond. This kung fu was acquired after ten years of practice on Kunlun Mountains in China.
How come there is a sense of sight of iron sand palm and vigorous diamond fist blowing in the face. In short, Tekken returned to the United States to become a superhero after practicing kung fu in China for many years to become a martial arts master.
In the world of Marvel, there are indeed a group of heroes and villains who practice internal skills and martial arts moves to fight. That's why I divided the three hero categories into three categories: mutants ~ technology ~ and growth.
The role of Tekken was born very early, but it is currently not well-known in China. Because no Tekken related works have entered China, but recently the story of Tekken has been made into an American drama and will be broadcast soon. I believe that by then everyone will know better.
So ~ everyone don't complain about internal power~ O(∩_∩)O. )
