109, to hand

Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, Grizzlies Club.

This private club is closed to the public, with a retro design from the last century, surrounded by intricately carved lettering and symmetrical textures, floral decorations and reliefs on the tops of doors and windows, tables and chairs made of red hardwood, and a bar decorated with targets and an old-fashioned shotgun.

Sean walked through the door and climbed to the second floor to soothing piano music, which was brighter and more luxurious than the design style downstairs, with a glittering crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, reflecting the brilliant light. The crimson carpet is as soft as cotton, and the wide walls are dotted with large oil paintings, and it is certain that the price will be extraordinarily expensive, regardless of the level of artistic appreciation of the guests.

General Ross leaned back on the couch, struck a long match, and smoked his cigar slowly, unlike his usual harshness and toughness, and when he did this, he seemed very patient and not impatient at all.

Sean chose a seat and sat down, not interrupting the general's enjoyment of a good cigar, until the other party gently exhaled a rich puff of smoke, and then he spoke, "Ambrera will remember the general's friendship this time." ”

After the events of the Fantastic Four are over, Victor Doom, who has solidified into a steel statue, will definitely be taken back and taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D., Sean asked General Ross to intercept him from the other party, this Latvian from a small country in Eastern Europe, has other uses for him.

"It's just a fair deal, I have a lot of good soldiers who have lost their limbs because of the war, they were all once the elite of the army, good lads who love the country! But due to the disability of his body, he had to retire with regret and receive a meager relief every month to live! ”

General Ross sipped his cigar and said with some embarrassment, he looked at the young man sitting across from him with admiration, "The media said you would be the 'second Tony Stark', and I think they all underestimated you." ”

"You have more potential than that playboy, Ambrera's newly developed amputated limb regeneration technology will allow you to gain a firm foothold in the pharmaceutical market, even if it is to replace Watsonton's position, it is not impossible."

Compared with the previous indifferent attitude, General Ross is much more eager now, on the one hand, because Sean has shown his considerable potential, regardless of whether the fall of Watsendon has anything to do with the other party, anyway, Ambrera and Osborne are quickly taking over the market; On the other hand, he is very optimistic about the bright future of this young man.

General Ross has not seen successful people who have risen to prominence at a young age, such as Tony Stark, who was born at the peak of his life, with a superior family background and an outstanding mind; There are also those who have achieved achievements that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve through their own hard work, such as Victor Doom, who turned into a steel statue, belongs to this list.

There are also geniuses like Bruce Banner and Reed Richards, who have amazing talents in a certain field, but they all have some flaws to a greater or lesser extent, such as pride and narcissism, or naΓ―ve idealists who lack a deep understanding of reality.

But Sean was different, and General Ross had a hard time judging the young man's temperament, he was neither an idealist like Banner nor a proud and obnoxious guy like Tony Stark, who often had a gentle smile on his face, and those eyes were deep and calm, and he could never see through his true emotions.

However, General Ross, who was born in the military, can clearly feel the dark aura that Sean occasionally exudes, and from the various methods after the fall of Watsonton, it can be seen that this New York genius is not a benevolent young eagle, but has the temperament and essence of a predator.

What is even more commendable is that Sean treats the enemy mercilessly, neatly divides Watsonton's sumptuous cake with other capitalists, treats allies and partners, and can give quite sincere promises of interests, which makes General Ross, who stands at the top of the human pyramid, very appreciative.

For the general's unstingy praise, Sean smiled lightly, these big people are always like this, when you are proud, they hold you to the sky, like a big star in the limelight; But after you stumble and fall into the dust, no one will pull you, and you will not even take a second look, and you will not even give the slightest sympathy.

"When Dr. Connors's amputated limb regeneration technique, the Krees Potion, passes the clinical trial stage, we will provide the military with 3,000 free places to treat those soldiers with mutilated limbs, and your Thunder Strike Team will be given priority treatment, General."

Not long ago, Dr. Connors's lifelong research on cross-species genetics finally made a breakthrough when he succeeded in grafting the biological characteristics of lizard limbs into humans without the rejection of genetic conflicts.

Sean impressed General Ross with this, in exchange for the other party taking Victor Doom from S.H.I.E.L.D. - Doctor Doom, who turned into a steel statue anyway, is useless to S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What do you want this iron lump for?" General Ross was a little curious.

Both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military have tested the steel statue, and Victor Doom's vital signs have disappeared and become silent, and the human body is semi-metalized, making it difficult to even use it for anatomical analysis.

"Please allow me to have a little weird collector's habit." Sean lightly touched the topic.

The future Doctor Doom can't just quit like this, he will be back to being a terrifying and powerful villain, but at that time, how much Victor Doom's personality can still exist, it is uncertain.

Seeing that Sean was reluctant to say more, General Rose, who had a lot of experience, did not continue to ask, and then they talked about the progress of the research on replicating the super soldier serum, this plan was not as smooth as imagined, even if a genius like Banner wanted to successfully copy the super soldier serum from the retained information and samples for a while, it was quite difficult.

Of course, the main thing is that the general conceals his true purpose and makes Banner think that he is conducting radiation tests, otherwise the other party will not agree to participate in this research project.

However, due to the vicious influence of Magneto's troubles with Watsonton, William Stryker took advantage of the situation and obtained strong support from the White House and the military, and is currently forming a special force to deal with mutants.

Looking at the frowning old man, Sean couldn't help but think that maybe it was because of General Rose's constant urging that Banner, who wanted to behave in front of his beloved girlfriend, was so anxious that he experimented with himself, and as a result, an accident occurred, creating the most terrifying beast in the world, Hulk!

Riding back to Ambrera, the box of goods sent by the general was already waiting for Sean's signature, and Gwen next to him asked curiously with the document: "What is this?" New lab equipment? ”

"It's just material for experimentation." Sean replied with a smile.

He looked at the heavy box that had been removed, and there was a faint light in his deep eyes.
