Chapter 17: The Old Wolf

The choice was a test for young Harry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info for businessmen, business first, people last. Many people have been doing it for a long time, and only the merchants are no longer left.

However, most of the businessmen are vested interests who control the vast wealth and resources of this society. In a Spider-Man story from another time and space, Uncle Ben Parker famously said to Peter before he died: "With great power comes great responsibility."

As a businessman who controls most of the resources of this society, especially a figure like Harry, who is already at the top of the pyramid of the entire human society. His every move can profoundly change the fate of many people. That's why he needs to be more cautious.

After a long silence, Harry's voice was a little hoarse. "I need to make it all public. Regardless of whether the company's stock will fall or not. Something wrong must be revealed, even if it is for a short period of time. ā€

Peter sat down next to Harry and patted him on the shoulder. "You're doing the right thing Harry. You need to set an example to others that the Osborne Group should not touch any illegal business. ā€

"Don't be so depressed. Li Jie opened his mouth to try to divert the somewhat oppressive atmosphere at the scene. "Crisis crisis, there is danger, there is opportunity. We just anticipate the worst. But that doesn't mean we have to accept the worst unconditionally. After all, we still have to work hard. ā€

"It's a well-established plan, in addition to getting rid of the Oriental rats, Harry, you also need to prepare a crisis PR. With the right handling, this can even be a very good opportunity. Li Jie patted the shoulders of the two and said with a smile.

While a few people were chatting, Li Jie's tablet received a new message.

[The message is conveyed to Logan, who asks for a meeting as soon as possible.] This is the news obtained from the Innocence Society, which was encrypted and forwarded by Zeng Chu, who was far away in New York.

"It looks like Wolverine still cares if that kid is his. Li Jie raised the tablet in his hand. "I'm going to talk to him. Maybe he'll want to save the kid. ā€

"And we have to face Logan's old lover in the East, Mariko Shida. It's best to get Logan to help me pester that woman, Eiji Yasuda needs her to kill me. ā€

The meeting with Wolverine Logan was arranged by the Innocence Society in the same izakaya where Li Jie and Peter had been last time.

Logan's face didn't look very good, and his brows were furrowed. Before Li Jie arrived, he had already killed three bottles of 500 milliliters of Dajiu Yin.

Although the alcohol content of this wine is only in the twenties, it is not a high spirit. But it is indeed rare for someone like Logan to drink sake as plain water.

"Don't you eat a little before drinking? Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your stomach. When Li Jie came to the izakaya, he found that Logan, who was drinking, sat directly next to him without much greeting.

"Bring me some chicken skewers and a grilled octopus legs. Li Jie unceremoniously ordered what he wanted to eat to the owner of the izakaya.

This izakaya is the property of the Innkai Society. Today, for the meeting between Li Jie and Logan, a sign has been hung up outside that is temporarily closed. So there are only two people in the entire izakaya, Li Jie and Logan. Oh, and there's also the owner and chef in charge of the reception, who is also a man of innocence.

When the owner of the izakaya heard Li Jie ordering, he bowed slightly and saluted him, and then went to the back kitchen to prepare. This can be regarded as Li Jie's use of this method to support the boss.

"Is the news you delivered true?" Rogan didn't have the desire to greet Li Jie, and went straight to the point. "My son? I don't remember having a son. ā€

"Yes, Logan. Li Jie took out a small shot glass from the bar of the izakaya and directly picked up Logan's sake and poured himself a glass. "Don't you know the woman named Mariko Shishida?"

After taking a sip of the sake, Li Jie took a breath and felt the dense and sweet taste and aftertaste of the sake.

Speaking of Mariko, Logan's brow furrowed a little deeper. His relationship with Mariko is not the kind that the whole world knows. And it's been more than ten years since he last came to Toyo, and the story with Mariko also happened more than ten years ago. Now that the Nightkin has revealed that he has a relationship with Mariko, there is a good chance that what he said will be true.

"I've seen that kid. "Li Jie stopped after drinking a glass of sake, he is not an alcoholic, and he prefers to keep a clear head, drunk is not a good idea.

"There are many mutants in this world who have the ability to heal themselves, but it is almost impossible to find a second one who is as strong as you. Even Dr. Hank and Professor Charles marvel at your resilience. Li Jie pointed to Wolverine's muscles.

"It's not an ordinary thing to be able to recover quickly, no matter how many injuries you have. That's why when I see that kid, I immediately think of you. ā€

Logan asked after taking another long sip of sake. "What do you see?"

"Self-healing ability, super self-healing ability. It's amazing to be on par with you. He cut off four of his fingers, cut them off, and then quickly recovered in less than ten seconds. There is no sign of injury, and it doesn't look like it's caused by the use of some kind of genetic mutation drug, as there are no side effects. ā€

Li Jie recalled the appearance of the boy that day and said. "And the boy was a mulatto. There are obvious signs of mixed Oriental and European races. It's hard for me not to think of you. That's why I let people tell you the news. ā€

Logan's eyes flashed with a look of remembrance. He began to reminisce about his experiences in the East. If you think about it carefully, what Li Jie said may be true, but he had a long time with Mariko back then.

Thinking of this, Logan's eyes lit up a little, but soon dimmed again. What if there is a child? Mariko didn't tell herself, so she must not want the child to meet him.

To put it mildly, Rogan is living like a homeless man now. If it weren't for the fact that he barely got a position as a history teacher among mutants, then nine out of ten would still be playing black boxing in Canada.

So Logan's performance went from being a little happy at the beginning, and soon turned to loneliness. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes, thank you for telling me the news, at least it's worth my drink." This glass of wine is a toast to you, and thank you for bringing me a pretty good piece of news. ā€

When Li Jie saw Logan's performance, he was a little surprised at first that he was too calm, as if he was indifferent to the child. Then he drank a glass of wine with Logan, lowered his head and thought about it, as if he had thought of some crux of the matter. So he spoke again.

"You don't care about that kid, if he's really your son. ā€

"There will be people who care about him, and there is no shortage of me. ā€

"Do you think he didn't have anything to do to cut his fingers, just to test how good his recovery ability is? Or is he a masochistic lover?" said Jack in a questioning tone to Logan's tone.

"Or do you think your genes can avoid pain when you are injured?" Hearing Li Jie's words, Rogan realized that maybe some things were not as simple as he thought.

He had stopped drinking and began to listen carefully to Li Jie's words.
