Chapter 655: The Most Useless Bodyguard Appears
"This time you caused me to lose all my money, and you also blew up the reusable spaceship that was originally planned. Tell me, how should you make up for my losses?" The investor looked at Li, whose expression changed slightly. Richards sneered and continued to ask.
"This..." After hearing the investors' words at this time, neither Reed Richards nor Ben Grimm knew what to say. After all, not only were they penniless, they could only barely make ends meet. Yes, it is really impossible to compensate investors for their losses.
You know, this is a space program. Even though Reed Richards has innovated and improved many aspects of technology, it still cost a lot of money. If this debt is placed on Reed Richards and Ben Grimm , even if they add Doom and work in a normal way to pay off their debts, they will not be able to repay them even if they work hard all their lives!
"Well, Mr. James, you should also know our situation..." Faced with James' question, Bengrim glanced at Reed Richards, who had a bitter look on his face and was completely speechless. He sighed helplessly, knowing that without the presence of Doom, a social butterfly, he could only talk by himself.
Don't look at the fact that Bengrim didn't take these debts seriously when he was fighting against Doom, but Bengrim also knew that if the negotiations did not go smoothly, Reed Richards would not be able to play his due value. If they use his clever brain to create wealth, they may not be able to pay off their debts in their lifetime...
"What's going on with you, and what does it have to do with the debt you owe me?" James snorted coldly and asked in a deep voice.
"Look at what you said, our situation has a lot to do with how we repay our debts!" Bengrim quickly smiled and walked forward to explain softly, "Now the space program has lost money, and we have There is not much money, even if we are sold, it will only be a drop in the bucket for this loss..."
"As for us to work slowly to make money, that is even more unrealistic. If we really work, I am afraid that the money we pay back will not be able to keep up with the interest you have lost, so I think we still have to cooperate and pass the next Plan to make up for your losses this time..."
"Well..." James couldn't help but frowned when he heard Ben Grim's words. To be honest, when he first learned that the space program had failed, James was filled with anger. You know, this time in space, He didn't interfere at all in the plan, and he completely trusted Reed Richards and the three of them!
But James' investment ended up like this, especially when he heard that this guy Doom had escaped, James was extremely angry!
Even investors, whose money is not blown by strong winds, how can they withstand such losses? But James also knows that even if he sinks the three Reed Richards directly into the sea, it is impossible for him to let out a bad breath. Even if he cuts the three of them and sells them for money, he cannot recover his losses...
However, James was quite confident in Reed Richards under Doom's advice, but now after experiencing the failure of the space program, James has no confidence in Reed Richards. Especially after seeing the decadent look on Reed Richards's face at this time, how could James trust Reed Richards again?
"Do you have any plans now?" James was silent for a long time and realized that if he wanted Reed Richards and the others to pay off their debts, there seemed to be no other way, so he took a deep breath and looked at Reed Richards asked.
Although the person who just spoke to him was Ben Grim, James knew that among the three-person team, Reed Richards was the one who proposed the plan and implemented it, and Ben Grim was at best a henchman. …
"Sorry, Mr. James, I just woke up and I haven't thought about anything yet. Otherwise, can you give me some time and let me think about it first?" At this time, Reed Richards How can one come up with any plan in a hurry? So he watched James speak carefully.
No matter how smart Reed Richards' brain is, he doesn't dare to be careless now, because to put it bluntly, his and Ben Grim's lives are in James's hands. James was dissatisfied, and with James' financial resources, he had no problem secretly chopping up himself and Ben Grim!
"Didn't you think about it?" James' face couldn't help but darken when he heard this. He originally thought that Reed Richards might have a certain direction after hearing Ben Grim's words, but now Reed Richards's answer was completely different. It could satisfy James, so he took a deep look at Reed Richards and Ben Grim and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you haven't thought about it. You think about it slowly, but you have to think under my nose, otherwise I can’t guarantee that you won’t run away like Doom!”
"Walk!"
"Walk!"
As James finished speaking, the bodyguards behind him walked over, directly dragged Reed Richards and Ben Grim out and scolded them in a deep voice.
Under normal circumstances, Ben Grimm would definitely not surrender like this. After all, his skills and strength are still good enough, and he is confident that he can deal with one or two bodyguards. However, the current situation is not ordinary. Not to mention that Reed Richards has been captured, Ben Grimm is naturally much weaker in front of James, the creditor, let alone resistance...
"Who are you? Why did you arrest our patients without authorization?!" However, Ben Grimm and Reed Richards did not resist, which did not mean that James could take Reed Richards and Ben Grimm away smoothly at this time. Just when the bodyguards were escorting the two to go out, the chubby nurse appeared again. When she saw what happened at this time, her face couldn't help but turn cold. Then she looked at the bodyguard and James and said in a deep voice, "Do you know where this is? How dare you act wild here?!"
"Huh?" Seeing a nurse dare to talk to him like this, James was stunned for a moment, looking at the nurse in front of him with a confused expression, and subconsciously said, "Well, I am their creditor, they owe me money, I will take them back..."
"Don't say you are a creditor, you are a bailiff, you have to wait until they are discharged from the hospital before you can take them away!" Faced with James's explanation, the nurse had no intention of giving in, and still looked at James with a tough attitude and said in a deep voice.
"No, you are a hospital, are you too involved?" James came back to his senses, and gradually became dissatisfied with the nurse's tough attitude. He winked at the bodyguards, and the bodyguards walked up and pushed the nurse away.
"Dare to do it? Come on! Someone is making trouble!" However, just when the nurse was pushed back a few steps, she shouted directly.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Just as the nurse finished speaking, fully armed operatives rushed out and surrounded James and his bodyguards, shocking them on the spot.
Because these operatives were not only well-equipped, but also quick in action, they were professional mercenaries at first glance, and were a level better than James' bodyguards. In addition, the difference in weapons and numbers between the two sides made James know that if they really fought, they would not have a chance of winning at all...
"That, it's all a misunderstanding..." Seeing this, James's face was bitter, and he hurriedly looked at the operatives around him and said with a wry smile, "Why don't you let them go?!"
"Well, it's indeed a misunderstanding..." Reed Richards, who was released, did not react, but Ben Grimm on the side rolled his eyes and hurriedly said, "We do owe a debt. If we are discharged normally, we can leave, right?"
Ben Grimm thought very clearly, The conflict between the hospital and James now was not to save them, but because James violated the hospital's regulations. Besides, even if they left the hospital, there was no way to directly exempt them from the debt relationship with James. It would be better to explain it to the hospital directly, in exchange for some favor from James, so that James would allow Reed Richards to make other plans to invest and make money. After all, they couldn't hide in the hospital forever...
"Go for a check-up. If there is no problem with your body, you can leave." The nurse nodded, glanced at James and said, "This is the rule of our hospital. No one can break it. After all, you should know who is behind our hospital..."
"Yes, yes, yes." How dare James say no now? He said rather modestly. If it was before, James would never have thought that he would be suppressed by a nurse, but there was no way. This nurse was more arrogant than him, a capitalist, and he really couldn't and didn't dare to do anything to this nurse.
After all, he is a big man who can invest in the space program. James is very clear about who is behind this hospital. He didn't figure it out before, but now that it's all said, James doesn't want to really offend the Avengers and Stark Group.
"Let's go for a physical examination. Please wait for a moment, Mr. James." Ben Grimm pulled Reed Richards aside and looked at James and said softly.
"Well, go." James's face eased a little. Although he was ignored, Ben Grimm's attitude was still good. If he had a further conflict with Ben Grimm now, it would be more troublesome. He could only wait here.
"There is nothing wrong with the body. You can leave..." Soon, Ben Grimm and Reed Richards finished the examination. There was nothing abnormal in the body, so the discharge procedures were also done quickly, and the staff did not ask about Doom again.
"We can go, Mr. James, they shouldn't stop us anymore..." After getting the discharge procedures, Ben Grimm took Reed Richards back to James and looked at James and said softly.
"Then let's go!" James nodded. This time he did not let the bodyguards take Reed Richards and Ben Grimm away together. After seeing that the nurse did not care about them anymore, they quickly prepared to leave the hospital.
But just when the group was about to reach the hospital entrance, a group of men in black came towards them and stopped them directly. James looked at the fat man in the lead and blinked. He always felt that the other party looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who the other party was...
"You can go, the two of them have to stay." Just when James was a little confused, the fat man stared at Reed Richards and Ben Grimm, then looked at James and said lightly.
"No, haven't they already handled the discharge procedures? Could it be that they have also attracted other investments and owed money?" Facing the fat man who was more powerful than the nurse, James didn't dare to say anything harsh for a while, but just looked at the fat man hesitantly and said softly.
"Oh, they owe you money, right? How much? I paid it, you can go back to where you should go." The fat man seemed to understand something when he heard James' words, and waved his hand at James and said lightly.
"Ah?!" James, Reed Richards and Ben Grimm all cried out at the same time, looking at the fat man in bewilderment. After a while, Ben Grimm was the first to come to his senses. He looked at the fat man hesitantly and whispered, "Sir, do you know how much money we owe?"
"How much? Isn't it just the money from a failed space program? How much can it be? Just report the account to Stark Group and someone will transfer the money!" The fat man said with a bit of disdain on his face, and it seemed that he didn't take the money seriously at all.
But when you look closely, you can see the excitement in the fat man's eyes. It's not the excitement of spending money, but the excitement of showing off in front of others!
"Are you from Stark Group?" James' eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he was a capitalist, capitalists were not the same as other capitalists. His wealth was far from that of Stark Group. Therefore, when he heard the fat man's words, James became excited and wanted to use this opportunity to establish a relationship with Stark Group, especially when James had remembered the fat man's identity. "Ah! I remember, you are Iron Man's bodyguard! Mr. Happy!"
"..." Hearing James' exclamation, Happy's face darkened, because this identity was really too embarrassing, and even made Happy popular on the Internet for a while!
After all, how could a superhero need a bodyguard? Especially since Happy's bodyguard didn't seem to be able to fight, and he was so fat that he couldn't even run very fast. Except for the fact that he might be able to block bullets with his fat, it seemed that he had no other function...
It was after the title of the fattest/useless bodyguard on the Internet was born that Happy slowly shifted his work focus to Stark Group to show his few values... (End of this chapter)
