141. One punch and one hole
"Do you want to come along?" Victor asked.
The scene was silent, and the atmosphere was as quiet as stagnant water for a while.
What did they hear?
A meeting to meet the Vice President and General of the United States?
There is also a S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson, although I haven't heard of it, but since it can be compared to the first two, I'm afraid it's also some kind of amazing organizational leader, right?
A large amount of information, shocked John and several people did not know how to respond.
Even the mutant prosecutor Reid was stunned.
Victor said that he had never met any of these people, and now he said that he could gather these people and sit down with dangerous mutants?
Reed's first thought was ridiculous - this was most likely a trap!
His professional reaction is to question, and he doesn't want anyone to open his mouth faster than him.
"Impossible!" An Asian woman with purple hair and green eyes came out of the crowd and said in a firm tone: "What you said is simply impossible!" Sounds more like a trap, John, don't go. β
John smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Clarice Fang, nickname Flickering, this is Reed Straker, just an ordinary person." They just came, don't you mind. β
"But it's not wrong." Sonia retorted to John in a rare way, she looked at Victor and said, "I don't want to question it, after all, you did contribute a lot to the underground shelter, but can you explain how you did it?" β
John opened his mouth to say something, but was gently pulled by Sonya, he looked at the latter, then at Marcos, who also had a gloomy face, and finally looked at the periphery.
Shaji, the mutant in charge of cybersecurity in the underground shelter.
Sensing John's gaze, Saki hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
There is very little information on Victor's network.
Since arriving at Marvel, most of the events and battles he has experienced have been covered up by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the only thing Shaji can find out is the position of chairman of Dawning Biomedical Industry.
It's still a new company that has just opened.
Even if Dawn was built on the basis of Osborne Industries, it would still be a lot worse to bring the vice president, generals, and mutant leaders together to negotiate.
Receiving Shaji's response, John also fell silent, and gave Victor an apologetic look, waiting for an answer.
In the face of everyone's doubts, Victor had expected it.
This is a normal reaction.
After all.
It was the second time they met John, and the other party didn't even know their details, why did they trust themselves so much.
If it weren't for the fact that I had done a few big things before, I might not even have a chance to explain.
The method of explanation is also very simple.
Victor took out the tablet he had prepared earlier, showed it to everyone, and said, "I knew it was going to happen, so I'll invite them to the meeting now, and you're watching from the sidelines, how about it?" β
The surrounding circle of people looked at each other, and finally John stood up and nodded, "I'm sorry, we're the last layer of shelter for mutants here, so we have to be cautious." β
Seeing that Saji on the side was about to speak and stopped, Victor beckoned to her.
"Come on, you help me hold the tablet, and you can also track the source of the signal when I communicate, see if it is from the military and the White House, and by the way, monitor whether there is a tracking signal."
was relieved of the concerns in her heart, although Shaji was a little embarrassed, she still took a firm step and took the tablet.
This is the headquarters of the underground shelter, and there is no room for error!
Motioned to Shaji to open the video software in the tablet, and there were only three note-taking contacts in it - White House O'Dark Horse, Military Ross, and S.H.I.E.L.D. Coulson.
Shaji hesitated for a moment, and first clicked on the "White House Odark Horse" communication.
Meantime.
She connected the picture from the tablet to the computer screen in the central control room on one side, and then pointed the front camera of the tablet at Victor.
Request a video connection.
The other side seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and the request was answered in less than 3 seconds, revealing a familiar black face - it was O'Black Horse himself.
But everyone present knew how powerful the mutant was, and he didn't immediately believe that he was the dark horse - what if the mutant was changed with the mutant ability?
They looked at Saji, who was "rolling her eyes", and there was a lot of data in her eyes, and she was tracking the source of the signal.
Victor ignored her and waved his hand to greet Oheima: "Hello, first time meeting, I believe that Norman has already contacted you, right?" β
"Of course!" In the video, Oheima's words are calm: "I am very happy that Your Excellency can take into account the interests of the country, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Excellency for the soldiers of the United States, with the A virus serum, I believe that their survival rate will be greatly improved." β
A virus serum, the new name of A virus tonic serum, was proposed by Norman for better packaging of the product, and of course with Victor's consent.
"Thank you for it, I'm just a businessman." Victor smiled approvingly: "Please wait a moment, I need to confirm the location of the meeting here." β
Ohema made a gesture to make a gesture, and Victor left the screen and pressed mute by the way.
At this time.
Shaji didn't roll her eyes anymore, she didn't care about wiping the fine sweat on her forehead, and nodded at John.
"It is indeed a signal from the White House Office, and there is no signal to track it, and it is basically certain that it is O'Black Horse himself."
As soon as this statement came out.
There was a strange sparkle in everyone's eyesβdisbelief, surprise, shock, etc., but more of a glitter called hope.
Marcos, who had been silent, couldn't hold back any longer, and he lunged at Victor with an arrow, and before he could speak, he crashed into Victor's telekinetic wall.
"Let's just keep our distance and talk, don't get excited." Victor did not hide his dislike at all: "Now you think about it, where is the place of the meeting?" White House? Military? Or just leave my company alone? β
Marcos didn't care about his sore nose, he excitedly said: "No matter where I am, as long as I can save Lorna and the child, even if I am in the toilet, I will go!" β
Before John could speak, Victor objected: "You can't go, you're so excited, maybe something bad is going to happen, and what if I'm a trap?" When the time comes, someone here will have to preside over the overall situation. β
Everyone thought that Victor was deliberately sarcastic, and John opened his mouth to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, we were too"
Victor reached out to stop him.
"I'm not talking back, I'm serious, you and Marcos can only go to one at most, you look at Marcos's current mood, is he suitable to go?"
John glanced at Marcos, and this time he didn't hesitate too much, nodding directly.
He followed Victor's words and said, "In that case, then I will go alone this time, and the location is up to you, I can do it." β
In his words, John showed enough trust.
But some people are still worried.
Sonia said unwillingly: "If a person's wife doesn't value the other party, I'll go with you." β
"No way!" John didn't want to refuse outright: "Your abilities are too dangerous, and it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. β
Sonia opened her mouth, unable to think of an excuse to refute it.
As a dreamer, she has the ability to flip through and modify her memories, which is really not suitable for such an occasion.
Marcos was also unwilling, but he also knew his problem, so he chose to keep his mouth shut.
On the contrary, it was Clarice, who questioned Victor at the beginning, and she stood up and said: "Then I'll go with you, my ability is spatial teleportation, at least I can run then." β
That's really not polite at all.
John's face was a little hesitant, but he only moved for a moment, and then shook his head in refusal.
He chose to trust Victor.
Sonia refused to agree this time, insisting that Clarice go with her, and the state was very similar to Marcos just now - it was worried about the safety of the other half.
Ignoring the arguments of several people, Victor nodded, and returned to the camera to unmute.
The sound of John's quarrel immediately became a few decibels.
"It's okay to choose the meeting place in my company, right? When the time comes, it's okay to let you see the results of the experiment on the spot. Victor said softly.
"Of course I don't have a problem." Oheima nodded directly: "Then I'll see you then, I'll fly to New York as soon as possible." β
"Well, I'll also be contacting the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., so you'd better be as soon as possible." Victor kindly reminded.
"Excuse me, what did you just say?" Oheima: "I thought I knew, I would rush over immediately." β
Apparently.
At first, Odark Horse thought that Victor had invited government representatives.
Unexpectedly, he directly invited the three parties with the most powerful competition, so the competition will be big at that time - he doesn't believe that today's output can satisfy the appetite of the three parties.
Not to mention the huge S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military, just some special agencies of their government, without 100,000 A-virus serums, they can't satisfy their appetite at all.
Right now.
Whoever arrives first may be the first to take the order!
Sorting out his thoughts, Oheima didn't say much, and after a few more polite words with Victor, he hung up the communication.
Victor looked at Shaji and asked, "The other two need to be notified like this?" Or I'll just let Alice know. β
Shaji looked at John who was still arguing, and for the sake of safety, she still chose to call in turn.
But.
The previous call was to Oheima's private number, but this time General Ross had a military satellite phone and could not be tracked by him.
When he arrived at Coulson, he was directly discovered, which scared Coulson a lot, and he hung up the communication on the spot, and then dialed it over from a hidden communication channel.
Of course.
Coulson inevitably gave a serious warning, and Victor probably guessed on the spot that Coulson was probably stationed at the location of the Cosmic Cube project, so he was so serious.
Victor had expected this.
"Ah, it was Alice's knee-jerk reaction just now." Throwing the pot on Alice's head, he changed his words: "I'm going to open up the purchase right of A virus serum, do you want to send someone from S.H.I.E.L.D.?" β
"Please respect our work and hope not to do it again next time." Coulson looked serious and warned.
Then he showed a look of embarrassment.
He thought for a moment and said in a consultative tone: "I'm on a mission and can't leave, about the procurement of virus A virus serum, I immediately asked the logistics department to contact Mr. Osborne, what do you think?" β
"I think you misunderstood me." Victor patiently explained: "I didn't just open up the procurement rights to S.H.I.E.L.D., because my asking price is not just US dollars, and it won't be useful to me, so if it's just the logistics department, then don't come." β
Coulson's brow furrowed even deeper.
He didn't say much, nodded his head to show that he understood, and after asking clearly that the other two parties were the U.S. military and government, he was a little relieved, indicating that he would definitely send someone who had the right to speak, and then hung up the communication.
That's it.
Victor easily made three phone calls, and the people who had the right to speak in the government, the military, and S.H.I.E.L.D. were pulled to a negotiating table.
Coupled with Shaji's verification, no one doubts the authenticity of the other party's identity anymore.
However, there are still several people debating about the danger of this meeting, and how many people should go there.
Mostly John and Sonia are arguing.
Although due to Victor's presence, several people did not say anything, but they also vaguely expressed their concerns.
John insisted that as long as he went aloneβwith the determination to sacrifice himself alone, the underground shelter would still function.
Sonia was adamant that John would not allow him to go alone - Victor already knew the location anyway, so if it was really a trap, everyone present would be doomed, and no one would be able to escape, so it would be better to go with him.
When it started.
Victor was still quietly waiting for the outcome of the argument.
But after 10 minutes, the debate was still inconclusive and showed signs of continuing, and Victor couldn't sit still.
He decided to show something to put both John and Sonia at ease.
X-ray opens, scans the perimeter, and finally freezes below, the space underneath is a basement for storing items, with no signs of life.
Can be destroyed.
Make up your mind.
Victor clenched his fists, the light energy in the super cells was rapidly consumed, and then he slammed his fist on the floor, and the super power burst out with great destructive power, smashing through the reinforced concrete ground under his feet on the spot.
Leave a 10 radius hole.
Meantime.
The entire abandoned building also swayed violently a few times, as if it was an earthquake, and the follow-up output without strength quickly returned to calm.
Although the floor under their feet was smashed, the people did not fall into the hole.
Victor had spread a layer of telekinesis at the feet of the crowd, and now they were collectively suspended in the air, and there was darkness below, as if they were standing at the entrance to hell.
This scene frightened many people, and everyone who was supported by the power of the mind hurriedly left the top of the hole in the black hole.
John shielded Sonia and Marcos, and his hands lit up and he was on guard.
Although Reed is just an ordinary person, he did not hesitate to stand in front of his wife, and did not forget to stop his younger brother Andy with one hand, and his sister Lauren directly raised a water molecular barrier.
The others are also more or less, each showing their abilities and waiting for them.
"Chen, what do you want to do?" John, as the leader, was the first to ask: "There are things we can talk about slowly, there is no need to do it!" β
