Natasha belongs to the Europa race, and since she was adopted by Li Nan, due to adequate nutritional supplements, her figure has also begun to develop rapidly.

Li Nan carefully wiped the girl's delicate body, and he suddenly found that Natasha already had a delicate curve, and it seemed that she had really grown up.

Abandoning the slightest distraction in his heart, Li Nan finally completed this difficult work, and was about to withdraw the hand holding the towel, but was held down by another small hand.

Natasha, who woke up, smiled on her pale little face, and said laboriously: "Uncle, I like you to treat me like this." ”

Li Nan hurriedly took his hand back and said with some embarrassment: "Stop talking nonsense, take care of your illness." ”

Natasha regained her health after two days in the hospital, and thanks to the benefits of the genuine boosting serum, her physical fitness is stronger than before.

Relying on the only remaining bottle of enhanced serum, Natasha was finally safe and sound, but Li Nan had to think about the future.

Captain America Rogers was injected with six vials of serum that year, which, according to Ekins, is considered a permanent enhancement. Natasha has only injected less than one bottle, and it is estimated that when the effect of the serum fades, she will relapse into the old disease.

For the sake of his adopted daughter's life, Li Nan took Natasha home and took a private jet straight to New York.

At the beginning, Dr. Erkins's intensive serum research also had an important participant, and that was Howard, an old friend of Li Nan.

However, after dragging Howard out of a group of beauties, he told Li Nan bad news.

As we all know, it is basically impossible to reverse the accurate formula from the finished product.

Take Coca-Cola as an example, the use of science and technology can basically determine, gas phase, liquid phase, temperament, liquid quality, etc., but the proportion, sequence, temperature control, etc. in the preparation process are also very critical.

Although Li Nan had some serum samples and the help of a scientific genius like Howard, he was unable to make an identical serum.

After the success of Captain America's reinforcement, Dr. Erkins was killed by Hydra agents and lost the formula of the serum, and then the U.S. government found many of the world's top scientists to try to replicate Dr. Erkins' experiments, but basically failed.

Seeing Li Nan's disappointed look, Howard handed him a glass of whiskey and explained, "Although I can't restore the correct and accurate recipe from the sample, I can help you get some slightly flawed imitations." ”

"How bad is it going to be?"

Howard said frankly: "This will definitely be worse than the original serum, but the specific defects will need a lot of experimental and clinical research to know." ”

Dr. Erkins can't be reborn, so there is no better way now, so Li Nan had to say, "Okay, then you can get some out as soon as possible, just tell me what you need." ”

"That's not necessary, I can do this little thing."

After talking about business, Li Nan brought up the Hellfire Club to Howard.

Howard shook his glass and said, "It's said that joining the Hellfire Club is not bad, I didn't participate just because I didn't want to see Hugh. Jones, that damn guy. ”

"You're a competitor with him?" Li Nan was a little curious.

"It's not just a commercial rival." Howard said resentfully: "Hugh's Roxon Industries has always been Stark Industries' worst enemy, have you forgotten what happened not long ago, who do you think bought those filthy congressmen to deal with me?" ”

"Oh." Li Nan nodded and said, "You guys are vicious business competition, and in the end it has developed to the point of attacking the other party with all your might." ”

"Dear ......," a coquettish voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

Looking back at the French female model in revealing silk underwear, Howard's eyes lit up.

Seeing him like this, Li Nan said goodbye with interest: "Remember the matter of serum, I'll go first." ”

"Oh, Lee, goodbye then, remember to help me close the door!"

After returning to his home base of Los Angeles again, Li Nan lived a relatively relaxed life again.

Li Nan didn't know if Calvin was ambitious, or if he had been instructed by his wife, Whitney, to come to him a few days later and inform him of the official date of the Hellfire Club's meeting.

From the outside, the Hellfire Club looks like a two-story building, similar to other country clubs in the United States, except that it has a hole in the inside.

After Calvin took Li Nan through the lively hall, he walked into the library, and then uncreatively opened the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, revealing a conference room inside.

This room is not very large, with a long conference table in the center, and the special thing is that the whole room is divided into black and white, even the tables and chairs.

Two ornate chairs are placed at the front and end of the conference table, and on either side of the conference table are eight ordinary chairs, four black and four white.

These eight ordinary chairs have symbols representing status, which are the chariot, the bishop, the knight, and the Praetorian Guard (soldier) in chess.

Li Nan glanced at it and found that, as Calvin said, the four luxurious seats representing the black king and the black queen and the white queen were currently empty, which showed that the Hellfire Club in the United States did not have any kings yet.

In the positions of the black and white cars sat a general in military uniform, these two Li Nan had seen on the TV, and they were both military figures with real power.

Black Bishop's chair sat Hugh, owner of Roxon Industries. Jones, Bishop White is Calvin's wife, the mastermind behind Isedan's energy, and the Whitney, known as America's sweetheart.

The White Knight's position was vacant, and the person representing the Black Knight, Li Nan, knew, although this person seemed to be just an inconspicuous bald little old man, but he was Tom, the deputy director of the FBI who was in power.

The remaining Black Praetorian Guard (soldier) Li Nan is not familiar with it, but the weakest chess piece in this kind of chess should be much worse in identity and status than others.

Bringing Li Nan to the conference table, Calvin said respectfully to the core members present, "Good evening, everyone, I have brought a reserve member for you. ”

The information folder on the table had already recorded Li Nan's basic information, and he was not an unknown person, so everyone present had some understanding of him.

The bearded general from the U.S. military, sitting on a white chair, had long been angry with Whitney and the others, so he said with satisfaction: "Li Nan has participated in World War II, has the rank of major after a hundred battles, and is also a comrade-in-arms of Captain Rogers of America, plus his current financial resources and industry, so I agree with him to join our Hellfire core organization." ”

"I agree with General Philip that Li Nan owns one of the largest film companies in the United States, and his war conglomerate has invested in some promising companies and several newspapers, and I believe that having him on board will be of great help to all of us."

"I'm against it!" The relationship between Li Nan and Howard is clearly written in the archives, so Stark Industries' nemesis. Jones, unsurprisingly, shouted loudly.
