Chapter 397: Victor's Troubles
Anthony didn't doubt Mr. Fantastic's claim that his brother-in-law Johnny had helped a lot. Because Johnny is a bear, but he's quite talented in some of his talents.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of driving, this guy is like a full point, no matter what kind of transportation, he can get his hands on it. In this time alone, he has already won several underground races. Of course, this also has something to do with the superior performance of the car he uses, no way, who makes Anthony himself not bad for money.
But if this guy didn't give the future Mr. Fantastic's lab any trouble, Anthony is a hundred who don't believe it. The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, can a bear child be called a bear child if he is not a bear? Anthony and Susan, the two people who could control him, watched from the side, and he made some trouble from time to time, and now he threw them directly into the invisible place, and it was not surprising that Anthony would die.
And Anthony is not blind, Reed's assistant Ben looks at Johnny from time to time, and the unkind gaze that passes in his eyes from time to time can hide from ordinary people, but it definitely can't hide from Anthony.
You know, the stone man is an honest character. To be able to him off like this, that Johnny's prank is definitely not small.
But how to say it, the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable. Since you Reed said that there is nothing, it is naturally impossible for that Anthony to go online on this. And most importantly, no matter how bearish Johnny is, he is now Anthony's family. And Anthony has always been helpful and doesn't help his relatives, so the matter is over. At most, Anthony secretly gave them a little more compensation, wasn't it just money?
Susan and her brother talk to each other, while Anthony walks around, accompanied by Reed and Ben. After Susan and his brother had finished talking, Anthony was ready to say goodbye, and at the same time offered to invest in some additional investment to upgrade their research equipment.
"Mr. Anthony, that's so polite," hearing that Anthony was ready to make additional investment, the future Mr. Fantastic's face was about to burst into laughter. Even the resentment hidden in his eyes when he looked at Susan has been alleviated a lot, and he is really worthy of a science madman who can not forget to do experiments on his wedding day.
Looking at Mr. Fantastic in front of him, sometimes Anthony thinks that he is married, directly like Orochimaru in the Hokage World, he has dedicated himself to science. Descendants or something, directly attack themselves, and synthesize and create one.
"See you in that month," Anthony said goodbye, I don't know if it was a coincidence, just as Anthony was about to leave, this was another investor in Mr. Fantastic's space exploration, Victor Dom of the Victor Group actually came to Mr. Fantastic's laboratory at this time. Looking at Mr. Fantastic's surprised look on the side, it seems that the other party did not greet him in advance like Anthony.
"Hello, Mr. Anthony," it seemed that he also didn't expect to see Anthony here, so Victor, who got out of the car, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he also reacted quickly and greeted enthusiastically.
"Hello Mr. Victor," Anthony smiled and shook his hand before pointing out, "Why do you have time to get here, I heard that Mr. Victor should be very busy lately." ”
Due to Anthony's involvement, Victor did not invest in this experiment of Mr. Fantastic like the original plot, although he accounted for a large proportion of it, but it did not reach the point where once something went wrong with this experiment, he could be directly bankrupt and driven out of the group he founded.
But correspondingly, he also has other troubles. That was not long ago, when he helped the military's General William Stryker resist Magneto. You must know that Magneto, who was extremely angry at that time, did not spare his hand, and almost did not directly lift his entire headquarters away.
If so, that's fine, after all, the military also gave corresponding compensation later. Although it was not enough to fully compensate for his losses, in his opinion, he was not taking this risk in vain if he was able to get the military to show him this situation.
However, what he didn't expect at the time was that this incident did not end with the arrest of Magneto. And just the beginning.
Magneto isn't alone, he's the leader of a mutant group. He himself was caught, but there were a large number of people in the Brotherhood who were active outside. And these mutants who are active outside will not let go of the people and groups who are against them.
Therefore, during this period of time, whether it is Victor, Tony Stark, or even Anthony's group, they have been more or less retaliated against by the mutants of the Brotherhood of Mutants in various ways.
It may be impossible for the mutant brotherhood to attack directly with force on the surface without Magneto's leadership, but their various disgusting abilities are annoying and unguardable.
Tony Stark and Anthony's family has a big business, so naturally they don't care. And with the strength and scientific and technological ability in the hands of two people, it is enough to deal with most emergencies. But Victor doesn't have that ability, and these days, he's been overwhelmed by mutants in the Brotherhood. The stock price has fallen several times in a row, and it is almost near the danger line.
Therefore, the expression on Victor's face couldn't help but stiffen slightly when he heard this, but he quickly covered it up, and said lightly: "Mr. Anthony Lo has bothered, and he has been dealing with some minor problems recently, but things have passed, so I will take the time to take a look here." ”
"That's good, that's good," Anthony looked at the other party deeply when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he directly handed the other party a business card, and smiled: "I heard Susan say that Mr. Victor has always taken good care of her before, so if you need it, you can contact me." In New York, what I said carried a lot of weight. ”
For Victor the person, Anthony is better. Doctor Doom, even among the villains in the entire American comic world, he can be at the forefront. Therefore, Anthony is not stingy at all to spend a small amount of money to invest in him, to be his angel investor.
Since he was born in a small country in Eastern Europe, Victor has always been sensitive to some things, so if possible, he is not willing to ask anyone, even if the stock price of their group is falling again and again, almost in a quagmire, he still wants to solve the problem himself. So he set his sights on the project he invested in not long ago, Mr. Fantastic's Cosmic Storm Exploration Research.
Of course, he doesn't expect the study to produce any results immediately, but only hopes that there will be good news for the investment here, and then win the trust of investors and let the stock price recover, so that the board of directors who came from Wall Street can give an account.
"Then I'll thank you Mr. Anthony in advance," if it was said that ordinary people wanted to help him at this time, the arrogant Victor probably wouldn't even pay attention to it. But it was Anthony who said this, the underground emperor of the whole New York, so Victor could only reluctantly accept Anthony's kindness. As for what he thinks in his heart, only he knows.
Anthony could naturally see that he couldn't help but tell the truth, but this in itself was an idle move by Anthony. Just like Ivan Vanko, it is better to have a return, there is no return, and Anthony has nothing to lose.
Saying goodbye to Mr. Magic and others, Anthony and Shu Mountain returned to Caesar's Palace, that night, it was another time to extract items once a month like a golden finger, and Anthony didn't have much confidence anymore, because there was too much garbage smoked during this time. So much so that Anthony even wondered if he had done too many bad things, so his luck was ruined.
But I didn't expect to inadvertently surprise Anthony this time, a big surprise.
