Harold Meacham looked at the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror on the wall and straightened his bow tie.

This (shēn) dress is exactly what he wore on his first day as CEO of the RAND Group, as is his hairstyle. Although the outfit is a bit retro, but whatever it is, life needs to have a sense of ritual.

The TV after (shēn) plays the news of 今 (rì), and the host's voice clearly reaches his ears.

"Now let's hand the camera over to Betty Brandt and let her bring an update on the Danny Rand investigation."

"Hello host. An informant said that Danny Rand may have used his company to smuggle millions worth of illegal drug pins, and is currently being held in the DEA (New York Drug Enforcement Administration), where he will be charged in the coming days with a number of charges, including drug production, drug trafficking, assault on police officers, and more..."

Harold walked over to the couch and put on his suit, and although he wasn't listening on purpose, the smile on his face betrayed his joyful heart (qíng) at the moment.

“... Here is Betty Brandt, a report brought to the front by the Horn (rì) newspaper. ”

"Okay, thank you, Betty. Next up is the sports news..."

Harold sat down comfortably at his huge desk, the computer screen in front of him scrolling with strings of numbers.

There was a "ding" sound outside the door, an elevator arrived, and the bodyguards guarding outside did not say a word, and the person (shēn) was self-evident.

Ward Meacham walked past the Octavian statue at the door and into his father's office.

The well-cut navy blue suit made him look quite energetic, like a successful businessman, but the exhaustion on his face could not be concealed in any way.

Harold didn't care about that, as usual, and beckoned his son to come to the side (shēn).

"See?" He smiled and pointed to the tablet full of data cables on the table, "The Hand Poison PIN Transaction Database!" Danny really gave me a good baby. ”

Ward didn't speak, looking up at the giant electronic screen on the wall.

"He provided the necessary data to get there. This is all the data on the production of new drug pins by the Hand Group, and their customers and transportation routes all pass through the RAND Group. And what's the bottom line, you see, they've been using the RAND Group's hidden accounts, which have a lot of cash in there, and they're going to transfer that money to a series of offshore companies in South America on a regular basis. Hehe, this scam is going to make the board of fools have a heart attack. I now know why Madame Gao is always biting us and she needs the RAND Group to run it all. Harold banged his knuckles on the table excitedly, "The accounts belong to the company, so we have the authority to close them and recover all the money." ”

Ward looked a little noncommittal, and there was not much excitement on his face. But Harold had long been used to his son's bitter face, and this stupid boy had no idea how much he had helped him behind his back.

"You see, the Hand Gang is everywhere — Rand, Roxon, Midtown Circle, Brooklyn, Miami, South America, Asia... They wasted so much of my time, and I'm going to make them pay and give everything they have! ”

"But... The money in these accounts adds up to billions. Ward hesitated, "If we do this, they won't let us go easily, will that make it worse?" ”

Not anymore, Ward. I have to say that you did a great job of clearing the company's internal drug network, and you know what? Harold looked straight at Ward with blood-red eyes, "... Mrs. Gao is missing! She's missing! ”

"That female devil removed the nail that was planted next to me (shēn), whatever the reason, I'm free anyway! Now I have to do something, I've been imprisoned by these beasts for too long, and I don't want to lose a day anymore! He stood up a little impatiently, pacing up and down the hall, and laughed weirdly, "Great, then, my death won't be a problem anymore." ”

"Is this your plan, to come back from the dead?" Ward's face was full of oddity.

"Danny can, why can't I?"

“... Danny is just missing and you're diagnosed with cancer, it's not the same. Ward walked over to Harold

In front of him, he wanted to calm his father down, "Is this okay, just... Straight in front of the public? ”

Harold shook off Ward's hand, and as soon as the thought of resurrection came to mind, he immediately became oblivious, "I'm going back to the world, Ward, now is the time." ”

"Father, the world thinks you're dead, how do you explain it?"

"Oh please, Ward. I've been planning for 13 years, and I'm going to tell them about the latest gene therapy technology and about the big advances we've made in the field of freezing. Harold walked up to the mirror again, looked at his face that hadn't changed in decades, and let out a low, dreamy exclamation, "Now I'm here again—yes, a whole new person." ”

Ward didn't see it that way, he felt that Harold thought everything too simply, and that humans now had seen too many superpowers and were not so easy to fool.

"Father, this is crazy."

Harold turned abruptly (shēn) and pointed at Ward, his words threatening: "Let's make it clear, Ward." You've tried to fight against me before, and you've always lost. This is your last chance to join me, otherwise it would be just me and Joey running the company. ”

"And what about Danny?"

"Haha! You say Danny! Harold laughed loudly, "Danny is a complete drug smuggler now, and I've helped concoct enough charges for him to get through the jail line." Yes! By the way, and his two yellow-skinned children, I heard that they are 'that kind of people'? It's okay, I'll contact SWAT (i.e. Special Weapons & Tactics Squad) in two days. Anti-violence, anti-terrorism special law enforcement units with advanced technology and tactical means, and the United States uses them to deal with superpowered criminals) to deal with them. ”

"Father, we all know that's not true."

Ward Meacham has been pioneering in his field of expertise all these years, and he is also a figure in the commercial center of Manhattan, although he is not a good man, but he is also not a villain, besides, a gentleman does not stand under the wall, so he instinctively does not want to get involved in these serious crimes, and he disapproves of Harold's approach.

"Alright, don't say it. It would only be a scourge for these two men to remain, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible, and at the worst they must be repatriated to their homeland, and they will never be allowed to set foot in New York again. Harold waved his hand vigorously and forcibly interrupted Ward's words.

"But... Father, you can't do that. What you owe Danny is that he helped you get rid of the Hand Clan! ”

"Oh, yes, I'll send flowers to his funeral."

Ward suddenly reacted that Danny's condition had taken a turn for the worse recently, there must be a reason, and there must be a big circle (tào) in it. "You've been playing tricks on Danny since he came back, haven't you?"

Harold took care of himself and packed the papers on the table and put them in his briefcase. He didn't want to wait a minute, he was leaving this hellish place and going back to the company now. The people on the board will definitely welcome him back.

Hearing his son's question, he replied without much thought: "No, no, it's much longer than that." I'm not going to watch that little bastard take everything that is rightfully mine. After saying that, he looked up and smiled, this action startled Ward, what he saw was clearly a hideous monster!

But this is not the most shocking news, Harold is very happy today, in the face of his son who is subservient to him, he no longer has any scruples, and he said all the evil thoughts in his heart.

"Oh yes, I'm looking for you today to ask you to rebuild the drug pin production line according to the information provided in the pad, and we must firmly win this business."

“... What did you say? ”

Ward couldn't believe his ears. How could he do that, wasn't the RAND Group built by him?

"Anyway, it's very profitable, it's easy to produce, and it's easy to find raw materials. Not to mention the antidote in Mrs. Gao's hand, so that we can make a lot of money on both sides. ”

Ward looked at the man who was supposed to be his father, and the hatred and disgust in his heart grew more and more, like a knife constantly cutting his nerves.

This monster not only controlled his life for more than ten years, but now he is even more crazy to the end

Ruined everything for him!

Uncontrollable anger poured out, and Ward roared like a wounded beast: "I refuse!!" Your control, your (cāo) longitudinal... I've had enough, I'm not a doll for you! ”

Harold looked into Ward's eyes, "Yes, yes." I know your anger, but now is not the time to get angry. I know you want to stay away from me, even if you want me to die. But you know, we're so close to breaking away from the Hand that if you run away like a frightened kid now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. ”

"Trust me, Ward," Harold's tone softened, "as long as I regain my freedom, I'll set you free, okay, I promise!" ”

In the face of Harold's bī, Ward completely lost the spirit of being outside, like a cowardly child, trying his best to make a little voice of his own: "No, the RAND Group is also my company, you can't do this..."

Harold screamed and pounced, grabbed Ward's neck, and screamed like a snake, "Have you ever thought that I did all this for you, huh? I work night and night so that you can inherit the fruits of success, so that you can succeed, because I think you can succeed, understand? ”

Harold's hands were cold and stiff, like two iron tongs, and Ward was strangled so red that he had to nod vigorously.

"Really? You don't look like you understand when you disobey my commands. I just want you to do some simple work, and you give me irresponsible too!! ”

He pushed hard, and Ward flew out, slamming his waist against the desk with a muffled "bang". Ward let out a scream and slipped to the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat. Harold walked over slowly, crouched down in front of Ward, and gently placed his hand on his head. Ward froze there and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of angering the other party again, there was nothing that this moody madman didn't dare to do.

"If you do what I ask you to do (qíng), the end result will be in your favor, Ward. I want you to resume pin production as soon as possible, and then make that damn antidote according to the recipe. There are so many homeless people on the street, you can just grab a few and come back and test the medicine. ”

"Okay... Father. ”

Harold stroked Ward's hair like a loving father who gently soothed his son, but when it came to a 30-year-old man, it all became weird.

"Ward, you are my son, and I will make you a great man. You can cooperate a little bit, okay? ”

"Well... Good. ”

"I'm you, Ward, I'm very you."

...

"Woo, don't talk about it... I'm literally going to throw up. ”

A strange voice rang out, and Harold suddenly looked up in the direction where the voice came from.

On the high ceiling, there was a large lump of blue-black slime stuck to it at some point, and if you look closely, it will still squirm, and the sudden human voice is coming from there.

Harold was about to call out to the bodyguards to come over, but he heard screams outside the door, mixed with the sound of collisions and beatings, followed by a loud bang, and a fat figure flew out from behind the wall, smashing the statue outside the office area to pieces, and falling to the ground unconscious.

Footsteps sounded, a young Asian man turned out, and Shi Shiran walked into the office area. 7 bodyguards with guns, each of whom was a veteran, and there was only one person on the other side, and they were all put down before they had time to shoot a single shot?

The large mass of things on the ceiling fell off and slowly coalesced into a human figure, also a young Asian man.

Ward looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in a daze, and couldn't believe his eyes: "Liu Zheng... Luo..."

"Damn, Comrade Ward Meacham, if people outside see your current cowardice, I don't know how many flower girls will be heartbroken."

Luo Zhijian grinned and walked straight towards the father and son.

"It's you...?" Harold asked, looking back.

"Nope." Ward himself was confused, how did these two find here?

Harold's hand quietly gripped the gun in his back pocket...
