Chapter 231: Wanted! Xingguang Is Cleansed!
"Okay, don't waste our time. What is your third condition?" Edgar gradually lost his patience.
After a while, Billy spoke: "As the CEO of Water Group, you must be in charge of the research and development of Compound No. 5. In this case, you should be familiar with superhumans. I want to know their weaknesses."
"Superhuman weaknesses?" Edgar hesitated.
"They don't have any weaknesses. If they have weaknesses, why would I go to so much trouble to exchange Ryan from you?"
After hearing this, Billy couldn't help but sneer: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be just an ordinary person. Why do you think you can control them? Aren't you afraid of backlash?"
He didn't believe that Edgar, the old fox, didn't have a backup plan.
Unexpectedly, Edgar also sneered: "Hehe, this is not a problem you need to worry about. However, if you insist on talking about weaknesses, the hearing of superhumans is generally extremely sensitive. Some sounds that ordinary people can't hear are extremely harsh noises for them."
"Some sounds? Do you mean ultrasound and infrasound?"
Edgar did not answer, but changed the subject: "Since I have met your requirements, should we talk about the mysterious man and when he contacted you?"
"When the invisible man died, he killed the invisible man." Billy said indifferently.
"Go on." Hearing that it was the mysterious man who killed the invisible man, Edgar couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart.
Afterwards, Billy picked out some unimportant things to talk about.
"That's all I know. He has always been very mysterious and has not had much contact with us. We don't even know his name."
"As long as he appears, he will definitely leave traces. I can find him in a month at most." Edgar seemed confident. With the power of the Water Group, it was easy to find someone. You know, Water's network of relationships spread all over the United States, and even in the US government, Edgar has people like him.
But in the next two months, reality slapped him hard.
Although he found Xia Shang by retrieving the surveillance of the golf course, when he sent Xia Shang's photo to the New York State Entrance Records Office, the Social Security Bureau, and the Motor Vehicle Administration, the results disappointed him greatly. There was no information about Xia Shang in all the population files.
This guy seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Except for a few surveillance pictures, there was no trace left.
On the other side.
Although Huey hated to cooperate with the Water Group, he couldn't say much at this point, so he had to put all his energy into work.
"Huey, come to my office." Victoria called Huey to her office.
She browsed the documents on the table and said, "Don't be nervous. I called you here just to praise your work attitude, and I am going to appoint you as the leader of the seventh group of superhuman management."
"Thank you, I am honored." Huey was excited, but his attention was attracted by the TV on the wall. The TV screen was broadcasting the press conference of Watt. The host on the stage was Jervis, and behind him stood a group of superheroes such as Homelander, Storm and Starlight.
The flash lights on the scene kept lighting up.
But the expressions of the superheroes were mostly unnatural, especially Homelander, who almost wrote the word "I am very unhappy" on his face.
"After a close internal review by Water, we found that the person who leaked and sold Compound No. 5 was someone else, a cleaner in Water's laboratory. We have now handed this person over to the relevant department. Therefore, the charges against Ms. Starlight are completely false and are the lowest level of mistakes made by Water.
On behalf of the Water Group, I will express my most sincere apologies to Ms. Starlight and hope to gain her forgiveness.
In addition, I would like to announce a sad news. Our and even the American superhero, the Pure White Witch, was attacked by super terrorists when she was on a mission not long ago. When Homelander, Storm and Black arrived, the Pure White Witch unfortunately died heroically.
But her fearless spirit is worth remembering forever. Next, I will show you the photos of the criminals."
Xia Shang pressed the remote control button in his hand, and his expression did not change.
On the screen behind him, a photo of "Yuji" suddenly appeared. The reporters at the scene immediately pressed the shutter button. The white light that kept on shining made the stage as bright as day.
"I hope everyone can remember this face. He is an extremely dangerous person. Any clues about him can be reported to Water Company. Water will offer a reward of 15 million US dollars for his information. For any valuable clues, we will give different amounts of rewards."
It was a bit strange for Xia Shang to issue a wanted notice for himself for the first time, but Edgar really spent a lot of money. You know, 15 million US dollars is not a small number, and it almost broke the upper limit of the wanted criminal reward.
"Ms. Newman, have you seen the man on TV?" Huey asked casually.
Victoria shook her head.
Two months ago, Edgar found her and wanted her to find the person in the photo, but no matter how she searched, she couldn't find the person in the photo. Although there were some guys who looked similar, after checking them one by one, none of them met the requirements.
"Do you have anything else to do?" Victoria asked.
"No, I wish you a happy life, Ms. Newman." Huey smiled and left Victoria's office.
At this time, in the basement not far from the Water Building.
Frankie, who came back from vacation, was in front of the messy tool table, looking down and fiddling with the latest sonic weapon developed.
"It's been two months, and Edgar still can't find the mysterious man. As expected, the mysterious man deserves to be called the mysterious man. Even the Water Group can't find him with all its strength. You see, the Water Group has begun to use civilian forces." Frankie looked up with gloating and glanced at the TV.
"Tsk, tsk, 15 million dollars, just thinking about it makes me excited. If I had that much money, who the hell would do this kind of shit?" Frankie can only earn a living by modifying and repairing guns for gangsters. Kimiko even became a killer, specializing in taking bounty missions from villains to supplement her family income.
"Look, this is the sonic weapon you want."
