Chapter 57: Edgar's Death and War Letter
"Although Walter threw himself into the United States from Nazi's side in the last century, and created superheroes for the country to help win the war, when the war ended, the government did not like Walter, who had served Nasi, after all."
The Motherlander reveals what he learned from Storm Girl about the secret of Vought's internal power change.
"At the same time, the state coveted the existence of Compound Five, and at the secret behest of the government, helped to shift the power of Walter to Dr. Reid, who single-handedly created Compound Five, with a higher prestige within the company."
America thinks that Reed is just a scientist who only knows how to soak in the laboratory, and is easier to control than Walter.
"Cross the river and tear down the bridge."
There was no surprise in Ron's eyes.
For the superiors, when the people below are useful, they can tolerate the stain, and when they are not useful, the stain will become prominent and become an eyesore, and the fifth compound is such a powerful thing, how can the United States not be interested.
"Vought's real controller is really related to Reed."
Reed, who created Compound Five, is long dead, but he can speculate on this by looking through Walter's early personnel changes, and the scientists and high-level officials who have a good relationship with Reed have been reused.
"Later ......"
The Motherland continued.
Although Dr. Reid is intelligent but not scheming, and he is not interested in money business, he wanted to challenge himself in his early years, and used his genes plus compound five to carefully concoct a test-tube baby in an attempt to create the most powerful superhuman.
When he succeeded, he regarded the baby as his greatest work, and raised it with the name Arthur.
Arthur was different from Dr. Reed in that he took over the power from Reed, cut off the hand that the country wanted to reach out to Water, and firmly controlled Watert International.
"Storm says that Adam has psychic abilities, can enter other people's brains at will, and has a variety of abilities such as mind reading.
It is the world's most powerful superhuman in terms of psychic aspects.
And he also has a powerful body that other superhumans can't match, maybe not weaker than me or even stronger. β
When recounting these words, the expression of the motherland was extremely complicated, and the eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.
"The most powerful psychic superhuman?
And a strong flesh that is not weaker than the Motherland? β
Ron listened with a slightly strange expression.
If the motherland corresponds to Superman, this ability seems to correspond to another veteran giant of the Justice League.
"I wonder if he's afraid of flames?"
Knowing that Walter was a superhuman behind the scenes who was stronger than the native of the motherland, Ron did not have the slightest worry or fear.
On the contrary, it is more relaxed, the unknown is the most terrifying, and now there is no need to think about it anymore.
And if other abilities are forgotten, psychic abilities ......
"The Black Emperor's helmet, I took it away as a trophy to protect against Charles."
"But now it can be used again in this world."
That helmet can isolate all psychic abilities, and although there are no absolutes in everything, at least even the old Professor X, who uses the brainwave intensifier to amplify his ability, can't break through.
A strong body that is not weaker than the motherland or even stronger, and with the motherland's physique and the ability of the Black Emperor, he has the confidence to easily defeat the motherland.
Not to mention that he has other abilities.
"Now it's time to think about this Arthur."
Solve Arthur before he can master Walter.
After thinking about it, it didn't take long for a draft to be born in Ron's heart, and he looked up at the motherland and was ready to explain.
But I saw that the people of the motherland were resentful and fell into the memories of their tragic childhood.
The experience of Adamby, whose original name was John, is very similar, one was created by Reed, who created Compound Five, and the other was created by Reed, Walter's chief scientist, Vogbaum, both of which are regarded as their greatest works.
But one grew up under Reed's care, and the other was imprisoned in a cold laboratory from an early age.
One grows up to take over Walter, and the other becomes a superhero controlled by Walter.
In terms of ability, Arthur is stronger and more perfect than the motherland.
"Why, why can he have a family."
He muttered unwillingly.
However, the motherland cherishes Arthur who is actually so similar to him, who can be raised by the creator as his own son, and he has no family and no love, and has been treated as an experiment and Walter's property since he was a child.
"Enough, stop your useless resentment."
Ron, unsympathetic, spoke slowly.
Complaining is useless, and nothing can change the facts of the past.
"Do what I say."
His eyes were dark, he knocked on the table, and commanded coldly, and a sense of slaughter appeared on his body, like a cold chess player preparing to end the chess game in front of him.
"After tomorrow, I want this Arthur to be history, and Walter to be in my control."
"You want to take control of Vought?"
Although the people of the motherland had guessed some before, they couldn't help but be surprised to hear Ron say it.
"What's not to do?"
"But ......"
The people of the motherland are a little worried.
Didn't Ron hear what he just heard?
Ron wasn't necessarily immune to Anti-Five, and he also had a powerful psychic Arthur.
"Then you don't have to worry about it."
Knowing what he was worried about, he waved his hand and sneered.
"Didn't you always look at Edgar unpleasantly, you have the strength of a god, but he is manipulated like a doll?"
"Give you a chance, go kill him tonight!"
He's going to take Edgar's death and hang that Arthur.
"Kill Edgar...... You're not trying to control Walter? β
The motherland is even more hesitant.
Although he has never complained about why he is so powerful and is controlled by Edgar, he also knows Edgar's ability.
Walter is well managed and can't do without Edgar.
"This world can be changed without anyone, and the president of a country can be rotated at will, let alone an Edgar."
Ron smiled disdainfully, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the tall buildings below.
Edgar thinks too highly of himself, and in his eyes the people of the country are nothing more than the property of the company.
But in Ron's view, the Motherland is more valuable than Edgar, and there are not a thousand but eight hundred managers in the world who are capable of managing a business empire, and there are not so many Motherlanders.
β¦β¦
The next day, Walter suddenly discovers that President Edgar, who is handling the company's affairs at the headquarters, has not appeared.
Some major decisions were made without anyone being able to consult and make decisions, and the company immediately had some problems.
President Edgar was nowhere to be found, and the company went to President Edgar's residence and found him killed in his own residence.
This major change was immediately reported to the board of directors, and someone on the board immediately reported to Arthur, the real controller of Walter.
"Mr. Arthur, Edgar is dead."
In a luxury hotel, Arthur removed the leg of a beautiful model on top of him, got out of bed, looked at the seaside scenery outside, drank two sips, and got bad news.
"Dead? How did he die? β
His face froze for a moment, then he regained his composure and looked at the tides and waves outside, and asked in a voice that was not wavering.
Edgar has always been in control of Vought for him, so that he can not be bothered by the mundane things of money, but it is not irreplaceable.
"With a laser eye, the head was cut off and placed on a landscape postcard, looking at the wound like a ...... Like a laser eye. β
"I don't know if it's the motherland or Ron...... But Ron is still there in the company, and the motherland is gone, uncharacteristically throwing down the company's locator, and he doesn't know where to go. β
"Motherland? What do you want to do? β
A playful cold smile appeared on Arthur's lips.
"Although life has been comfortable and quiet for a long time, it is interesting to have a small accident once in a while.
However, those who dare to disturb my life also pay for it. β
He asked indifferently.
"Where's the postcard?"
When he heard the landscape postcard, he knew it was a war letterβa war letter that explained the location.
"Antarctica."
