"Yes, Mr. Barnes, with us, your safety can be assured!" Larry Ellison smiled and winked at a suit-clad bodyguard behind him.

The bodyguard didn't speak, but stepped forward and pointed his finger at the coffee cup in front of Bucky. The next moment, a blue light shot out of his fingers, and in an instant, a hole was opened in the coffee cup.

"Seeing that without Mr. Barnes, Marcus can send out a wind cone with a power comparable to a bullet, and he can kill people without sound!" Larry Ellison smirked twice and continued, "No gunshots, no bullet casings, no traces, but you can kill a person as easily as a gun, Mr. Barnes, what do you think would be the choice you would make if you were targeted by someone like that?" ”

Bucky's face suddenly gloomy, but he didn't act rashly, although he was not afraid of the guy in front of him, but Bucky didn't want to do it now, he wanted to see what this Larry Ellison wanted to do.

Anna, who was sitting next to Bucky, was not so calm, and her hands were pressed on her laps, and she was about to gradually turn into diamonds.

He gently patted Anna on the shoulder, gave her a relaxed look, and motioned for Anna to undiamond. Luckily, Bucky reminded her in time, and Anna only completed the diamondization of her legs hidden under the table, without revealing her mutant identity.

Looking at the coffee flowing on the table, Bucky said in an unkind tone, "Mr. Ellison, if it is revealed that you hired mutant bodyguards to threaten others, do you think Oracle's stock will plummet?" ”

"No, no, Mr. Barnes, I promise never hired a mutant bodyguard, and I'm willing to subject my bodyguard to any checks. Perhaps Mr. Barnes didn't know that mutants contain a type of DNA called the X gene, which can now be traced by any major research institute. So, as long as he is checked, no mutant can hide his identity, and Mr. Barnes can take my bodyguard to check on him to see if he is a mutant or not! ”

Larry Ellison is now very proud, and in fact he has used this method to successfully acquire a lot of properties for Oracle at low prices, which has made Oracle's development much faster in recent years.

But what Larry Ellison didn't expect was that his words gave Bucky a lot of information.

There is no X gene, but there are abilities similar to mutants, in fact, Bucky and Wade are such people. This kind of person is usually produced by some scientific research institute through many methods such as drugs and radiation, and in this day and age, this technology is best known for William Stryker's Weapon X program.

Bucky thought in his heart, Oracle often receives software orders from the military, Stark Industries is the leader of the military industry, and William Stryker, who is in charge of the X Weapon program, has the rank of colonel, and Bucky doesn't believe it at all if there is no military background in this incident.

It's just that Bucky doesn't know which forces in the military are involved, but looking at the shoddy methods used by Larry Ellison, Bucky believes that it must be only a certain force in the military that is standing behind him, not the entire military leadership. If the entire military leadership reaches a consensus and wants to obtain Bucky's operating system, it is completely possible to directly send military personnel to negotiate with Bucky, and there is no need to use Oracle and Stark Industries.

Bucky felt that the most suspicious was William Stryker, Colonel Stryker was in charge of the X Weapon program, and his funding has been limited by the military's top brass, resulting in his research direction and research progress being controlled by the military. However, Bucky knows that Stryker has his own ambitions and is not willing to be controlled by others, and he will inevitably start from various ways to increase his research funding.

The lab where Bucky and Wade seized the regenerative serum was part of Project X, but it wasn't a research lab, but the finished product of Project X, Super Soldiers. The super-soldiers produced will be sold to various forces like goods, and the proceeds will be fed back to the Weapon X program, speeding up the research process of the X weapon program.

Judging from that inhuman laboratory, William Stryker is definitely an unscrupulous person, so this time Oracle and Stark Industries intend to take away Bucky's operating system by threatening means, if there is military support behind it, then the most suspicious one is William Stryker.

"So, Mr. Ellison, and Mr. Stan, if I cooperate with you, how are you going to keep me safe? I don't want to be drained of value and then thrown away. Bucky decided to test the two men to see if he could get more information.

When Larry Ellison heard Bucky say this, he thought that under his own threat, Bucky had to think about cooperating with him, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Barnes, please rest assured, if you choose to cooperate with us, your safety will naturally be guaranteed, you can also have a bodyguard like Marcus." ”

Bucky frowned, pretending to think, and only said after a while, "One is not enough, I want at least four." ”

Pointing to Anna, who was sitting next to him, Bucky explained, "My sister Anna and I each have to have two bodyguards like Mr. Marcus. ”

Bucky opened his mouth as soon as he came up, just to see if Larry Ellison could provide so many super soldiers. You must know that the probability of the X weapon program succeeding in producing super soldiers is not high, and there are many buyers who need super soldiers, and super soldiers are in short supply.

Bucky needs four super soldiers to be bodyguards to bite to death, and if Larry Ellison can't provide that, then Bucky's previous guess may be wrong; On the other hand, if Larry Ellison finally agrees to provide four super soldiers as bodyguards, then Bucky can confirm that the military behind him must be Colonel William Stryker.

"Impossible! You have no idea how rare a super soldier like Marcus is! Larry Ellison said angrily, "Even if it's me, Marcus is the only one around!" ”

While it's true that Larry Ellison can't provide more super-soldiers, capitalists tend to be the best actors, and Bucky doesn't believe what Marcus says, just biting the need for four super-soldier bodyguards.

"It's not a way for the two of you to argue like this, it's better to take a step back, Larry, you can provide Mr. Barnes with two bodyguards, so that the safety of Mr. Barnes and Miss Anna can be guaranteed." Obadiah Stein, who hadn't spoken for a long time, came out to play the round.

Bucky pouted, such an old routine of singing red face and singing white face can't fool Bucky, not to mention that Bucky just wants to test the power behind them, even if Larry Ellison provides Bucky's four bodyguards, Bucky will not hand over the operating system to them.

"If a person's safety cannot be guaranteed, then it is useless to earn more money. I wouldn't have been assured of my safety without four of these bodyguards, and maybe I would have given this operating system to the military, and they would have given me enough protection. ”

Bucky's stubbornness and persistence brought Larry Ellison, who was sitting across from him, angry at him.

"You ......"

Obadiah Stein, who was next to him, also had a gloomy face, but he still didn't have a seizure, just muttered a few words in Larry Ellison's ear.

Glaring at Bucky fiercely, Larry Ellison walked out of the conference room with his phone without saying a word, apparently to call someone to discuss.

"Mr. Barnes, please forgive Larry's recklessness, but he really can't make decisions about the bodyguards, and he needs to discuss it with the people on the board of directors of Oracle."

Obadiah Stan explains to Bucky, but he doesn't know that he can't call the shots, allowing Bucky to confirm his assumptions.

Bucky knew very well about the super soldiers produced by the X Weapon program, and it was definitely not something that Oracle's board of directors could control, and Larry Ellison must be in contact with someone who could actually control these super soldiers.

"Sure enough, it's William Stryker! I haven't looked for you yet, but I didn't expect you to come first. It seems that he has to be taught a lesson, otherwise there will always be a guy peeking at him in the days to come, which is not a good feeling! Bucky thought to himself.

Ever since learning that Anna's sister is Kayla the Silver Fox, Bucky has been thinking about when to free Kayla from Stryker. Although Bucky doesn't know how Stryker controls Kayla, it's nothing more than two scenarios, one is to threaten Kayla's life and the other is to threaten her with Anna's life. Now, Bucky is not allowed to happen in either case, so he can only show his strength and make Stryker throw a mouse trap and dare not do anything to Sister Anna.

However, Bucky also knows that his current strength is equivalent to a third-level mutant, which is similar to Wolverine at this time, and it may be difficult for Stryker to be jealous of his personal strength alone, but if he adds the identity of Microsoft's third largest individual shareholder, it is estimated that Stryker will not dare to act rashly.

Microsoft's operating system now accounts for more than ninety percent of the office computer market, which makes the connection between Microsoft and the U.S. government increasingly close. As long as Bucky succeeds in becoming Microsoft's third largest personal fixture, then he will also officially enter the upper class of American society. In a country where capital is king, Bucky believes that by then, his identity will be enough to influence Stryker's decision.

At this time, Larry Ellison returned to the conference room, although he was not in a good mood at this time, he still squeezed out a little smile, and said to Bucky: "Mr. Barnes, I have just discussed it with the board of directors, and your proposal has been accepted by our board of directors, and we are willing to provide you with four bodyguards like Marcus." ”

"Oh? Four bodyguards, but unfortunately, I think it's better to cooperate with Microsoft! "Since Bucky has already guessed that the person behind the other party is Stryker, he has no interest in continuing to act with them.

Larry Ellison's words angered Larry Ellison so much that he slapped the table at Bucky and yelled, "Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"I said, I decided to work with Microsoft, and I wasn't interested in having anything to do with that old Stryker!" Bucky said in a mocking tone.
