Chapter 21: Wooing
Mercer and Flint arrived at Mercer's house and beckoned Flint to sit on the couch.
"This is my house, you can sit casually, do you want to have something?"
"No, do you think I need water?"
Mercer thought about it for a while, if this guy drank water, wouldn't it turn into mud? He took himself a beer and sat down.
"Flint, what do you do? How did it come to this? ”
"I was a handyman at a research institute, I accidentally fell into a reactor and woke up like this. What about you? ”
"Me? I was infected by a virus, and I became like this", Mercer didn't shy away from it, and Flint wouldn't have seen anything about it anyway.
Sure enough, Flint looked at Mercer with the same eyes as he looked at his kind.
"How did you remember that the cash cart was coming? There's basically not a lot of money on it. ”
"I was desperate, after the accident, the people from the research institute tried to arrest me, I ran away and lost my job, and my daughter had no money to continue treatment......"
"Alas, you are worse than me, can you take me to the hospital tomorrow? I'll help you figure out a way, no matter how bad it is, I can help you get the money out. ”
Flint's face was hesitant, just like Mercer said, everyone is not an ordinary person, how can they easily let each other get close to their relatives? However, it seems that the other party doesn't need to lie to himself, right? I'm just a handyman, and I'm still a monster......
"Don't worry, I'm not a doctor, but I'm confident that I'm no worse than any doctor, and I might be able to find a way. You think about it, you stay in my room tonight, and I'll stay in my sister's room. ”
"Well, I'll just sleep in the living room, it's okay," Flint said, shaking his hands, and it could be seen that this was an honest man.
"It's okay, go to sleep if you want, I'll go back to the house first", Mercer turned his head and went back to the house directly, "You think about it, don't be too reluctant, no matter what, I will lend you enough money, you can pay it back slowly." ”
Flint sat alone on the couch in a daze.
……
The next morning, Mercer was awakened by Flint's knock on the door, and then watched as the other man was about to kneel at him.
"No, you don't need to, it looks like you've decided."
Mercer held the other man with his hand, but his own hand passed through it, and then the other person fell to his knees.
"Mr. Mercer, it's all up to you, please save my daughter."
"I'll do my best."
Just as the two were about to go out, the doorbell rang again, Flint looked nervous, Mercer reassured, and then opened the door to see Coulson outside the door.
"This is Phil Coulson, this is Flint Mark, don't be nervous either of you, it's stable."
Mercer said that although he couldn't touch the limits of Flint's abilities, through his own fight with the opponent yesterday, he felt that his hundreds of tons of blows did not cause any damage to the opponent.
In other words, without a special approach, it is possible that Flint and Hulk will be able to fight indefinitely.
"Hello, Mr. Mark, I'm Coulson, I have no ill will towards you, I just hope to confirm your actions in the future."
"Phil, he'll follow me for the time being, and I might help him get a job later, you don't have to worry about him now," Mercer said, "I'll have to go out with him, is Dana okay?" ”
"You don't have to worry, she's fine, she said she didn't really make it to her birthday, but she's happy," Coulson said, believing Mercer's behavior, and left after a few pleasantries.
"Flint, which hospital are you going to? Just tell me the name. ”
"St. Paul's Hospital."
“…… Okay," Mercer said, remembering that the hospital where Dr. Raglan worked seemed to be called that. I thought to myself, it can't be such a coincidence.
Mercer was driving his BMW X5 and encountered a traffic jam on the road, if it wasn't for the fear of shocking the world, he really had the heart to lift the car and run over.
While moving forward meter by meter, I pondered about this São Paulo hospital, and if it was really the hospital in the game, the situation would be complicated.
Does Dr. Laglen's knowledge of the black light virus in no way inferior to Mercer's, and the fact that he was tacitly allowed to continue his research after leaving Gentek, does this mean that this St. Paul's hospital is actually a Black Watch property?
Mercer thought for a moment and pulled out his phone and dialed the dashing Tony.
"Tony, I'm Alex, what are you doing?"
"I'm in Hawaii, do you have something to do with me?"
Mercer heard the waves and the voice of the woman, and presumably the rich man was having a party on the yacht, but it is unknown whether the contents were healthy.
"Well, there's a friend whose daughter is sick, and I think there might be something wrong with the hospital she's in now, do you have any referral hospitals?"
Tony readily agreed: "Oh, no problem, which hospital is that little girl in now?" ”
"St. Paul's Hospital, right here in Manhattan, I'm driving over there right now."
"Okay, I'll send someone to St. Paul's Hospital to find you, ask them to drive an ambulance directly, and then send it directly to my Stark-owned hospital, both the medical level and the facilities are top-notch."
"That cost ......"
"You don't have to worry about this, let that little girl go to the doctor first."
The phone hung up, and Flint looked nervously at Mercer.
"No problem, the rich man is in charge, so you owe him a favor," Mercer said, "and with your ability, you will have a chance to help him in the future." ”
"You said earlier that there was a problem with St. Paul's Hospital......"
"You don't have to worry about this, it has nothing to do with your daughter's illness, it's just that the boss behind them may have some problems, let's take your daughter away and it'll be fine, by the way, what's your daughter's name? What about your wife? ”
"Oh, that's good, her name is Nina Mark. My wife was with Nina in the hospital, and our house had been sold for medical treatment, which my father had left to me. ”
"Okay, just take your wife over, and I'll find you a place to live near my house," Mercer said.
Flint was naturally grateful, he thought about it all night last night, and he himself was referring to the use of special abilities, but he didn't care how Mercer would use him, as long as he could treat Nina.
……
"You're Mr. Mercer, we were sent by Mr. Stark, where is the patient you are talking about?"
When Mercer arrived at St. Paul's Hospital, the ambulance sent by Stark had stopped at the entrance of St. Paul's Hospital, and Mercer felt amused when he looked at Stark's logo printed on the ambulance.
"It's a little girl named Nina Mark, Flint, and you go with them to negotiate with St. Paul's Hospital, and then get the people out," Mercer said, "I'm going to do something else, and I'm going to come out at once." ”
Watching the doctor sent by Flint and Stark leave, Mercer made a beeline for the front desk of the hospital, and after spending a hundred dollars, he got word from Dr. Raglan.
"You said Dr. Raglan, he died from the virus outbreak some time ago."
Mercer froze, then with a burst of suspicion, he took out his phone and dialed Coulson.
"Phil, it's me, do you know St. Paul's Hospital?"
"Alex, St. Paul's Hospital? You mean the one in Manhattan? ”
"Well, this hospital may have something to do with Blackwatch. By the way, there is a doctor named Bradley Raglan, who used to work at Gentek and then worked in this hospital, and now he is dead. You go check it out. ”
"Okay."
"By the way, has Flint Mark's resume been checked?"
"No problem, what he says is true"
"That's good, I'll be busy first, and we have time to eat together!"
……
"Thank you so much, Mr. Mercer! Thank you so much! ”
Flint's wife, who watched her daughter move into a better hospital without having to pay for it, was grateful to Mercer for her help.
"You're welcome, Flint is a nice guy and he can help me a lot. This ward is a suite, and Mrs. Mark is here to accompany Nina, and the usual daily necessities will be provided directly here. ”
"Flint, do you want to stay here too?"
"Mr. Mercer, let me follow you, and see if there is anything I can do to help, I owe you too much."
Mercer didn't refuse, and took Dana to invite the Flints to have a meal together, and left with Flint.
