3 Inheritance of property
"It's a pity that I drew a bow and arrows instead of a firearm, if only I had a firearm."
After all, he still felt that the firearm was better to use, and even asked the butler to help him book a shooting lesson.
"But it doesn't matter, smoke slowly, you can always draw it."
He is full of confidence, after all, it is something that can be done with money, not to mention that he is still rich now, and Worthington is one of the world's top 500 companies.
In the morning, Warren worked out for a while, then read a book.
Introduction to Mechanics, this card brings him a knowledge that former liberal arts students do not have, so he can make a study plan for himself.
After all, the probability of drawing out skills is not low, and it is always possible to draw other skills in the future, so you can learn about the technological trends of this world now.
At noon, you can draw cards again.
Free single draw every day.
【Blue Normal】
"No bad luck."
【Greek】
"You don't need this kind of language, do you...... However, the probability of skills is really high. ”
Although the Greek language should not be very useful, it verifies at least one thing, and that is that the probability of drawing knowledge and skills is not low.
Real knowledge is much better than messy things, after all, it takes a lot of time to learn knowledge, and things can be bought as long as you have money.
Because he made an appointment with the coach in the afternoon, Warren did not use Greek to master it first, but asked the driver to take him to the shooting range.
I worked out in the morning, practiced shooting with a personal trainer in the afternoon, and used [Greek mastery] before going to bed, and the time passed day by day.
Worthington Sr. has been in big trouble lately as Magneto started his show.
Worthington Pharmaceutical's antidote has recently taken the country by storm, and many mutants have come to be treated.
However, today is different, there are mutants who carry out explosive attacks on treatment sites, causing casualties.
Subsequently, Magneto also announced:
“…… Today's attack is only the first wave, and as long as the 'antidote' remains, we will continue to fight. Your city is no longer safe, your streets are no longer safe, and you, too! As for my fellow mutants, I invite you to join in, or, out of the way......"
"It's extreme." Sebastian, the old butler, shook his head.
"It's scary." The maids were whispering too.
Warren laughed, "Maybe you should blame the racists back then, right, Sebastian?" ”
?
The stewards and servants were puzzled.
Warren was just making a joke, even though the others didn't understand it.
The president ordered the closure of Sin Island, Ekaz Island, which was originally a prison and is now home to Worthing Labs, and because it is an island, it is very convenient to guard.
The 'antidote' was also made into a weapon to be distributed, all plastic, to protect against Magneto's abilities, and the soldiers guarding the island were replaced with plastic weapons.
Old Worthington also stayed on the island, after all, at this stage, they had not fully located the genes of the mutant Jimmy, and if they were killed by Magneto, they would fall short, and there would be no antidote.
X-Men III has been on the air for a long time, so Warren probably remembers the plot is-
The Golden Gate Bridge is over again!
In addition, it is the part where Wolverine kills the phoenix, and I can't remember the others clearly, after all, I've watched it for a long time, and I remember the plot of the Avengers three and the four more clearly, but it's still a long time from now.
Anyway, Wolverine has endured the pain of killing his wife, there should be no problem, all he has to do is not to cause chaos, and quietly wait for the plot to kill the villain.
The free gold coins that have been accumulated in the past few days are useless, and he thinks about it and thinks that it is better to wait for 10 consecutive draws.
But just as he had accumulated 9 gold coins, the bad news came.
With his metal control ability, Magneto forcibly moved the Golden Gate Bridge to Ekaz Island, led his mutants to attack, and vowed to kill Jimmy, the mutant child who was the source of the antidote.
It turned out to be a failure, but ......
The main person in charge of the antidote project, the old aunt who had watched the antidote for him before, was pierced through his body by mutants with something like porcupine spines.
Warren Kenneth Worthington II, tragically killed, was caught by a rioting mutant storming the lab, and then thrown from a tall building.
Countless soldiers were killed and wounded, most of whom could not even find their bodies, and were broken down into scum by the telekinesis of the mutant Jean Grey.
------
"Please sign your name." The lawyer said.
Warren in a black suit solemnly signed his name:
Warren Kenneth Worthington III
"You're now the chairman of the Worthington Group." The lawyer said after collecting the documents.
"If I could, I'd prefer him to remain in charge of the company." Warren sighed softly.
"Please mourn."
After the lawyer left, Warren was left alone in a huge office, and his mood was not as sad as it seemed.
When he learned that he was going to inherit Worthington's legacy, his first reaction was:
Wouldn't I have the money to draw cards?
I'm sorry to have this kind of thought, I reflect.
However, he didn't have much affection for old Worthington, after all, they had known each other for less than a month, and they had only met twice.
Old Worthington died a terrible death, fell to his death, and saw many people, and later was destroyed to dust by Jean Grey's mad telepathy, and only his clothes and a group photo were found in the grave.
Thanks to the help of Sebastian, the butler, Warren would have had a bit of a headache dealing with these complicated things.
But there's a lot more to deal with in the immediate future.
Bang bang bang
"Please come in."
A mature and intellectual lady walked in, she was Old Worthington's secret magician Nivea.
"Chairman, a government organization has asked to meet with you and said it wants to talk to you about Worthing Labs."
"What organization?"
"He said their name was ......" Nivea paused, recalled, took a breath and said, "Land and Resources Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau." ”
"Take them to the reception room."
"Yes."
Warren rubbed his temples, the past two days have been really busy, and it is chaotic, and he has to deal with a lot of things left by old Worthington, including but not limited to S.H.I.E.L.D. this time, as well as the previous business dealings with other countries about the 'antidote', because although the affairs of Ekaz Island have been suspended for a while, they will need to be dealt with by him in the future.
But hell, he doesn't have this kind of experience at all, he used to run a small company, the kind that is very hard, and it's really a bit of a game to throw him a big company of 200 billion at once.
In addition to the new projects and the group's original business, the Worthington Group focuses on industrial and pharmaceutical, and it seems that there are only two categories, but there are also a lot of problems that pile up.
When he signed it before, he had a moment to consider whether to let the board of directors choose another person who was good at it to take on the big role, but in the end he chose to do it himself.
You always have to face it, be busy, and be busy, all for the sake of card drawing.
……
In the reception room, Warren met with representatives of S.H.I.E.L.D.
A black man wearing an eye patch and a leather jacket who could have pulled him to the pirate set next door for a cameo.
"Hello, Director Nick Fury." Warren stretched out his hand.
Nick Fury was slightly surprised, then shook hands.
"Hello, Mr. New Chairman, I didn't expect you to know me."
"The head of the world's largest intelligence organization, the king of secret agents, I think I should know."
"But I don't know much about you."
Being watched by Nick Fury's one-eyed gaze, Warren felt a hint of pressure.
"Maybe it's because I'm a mutant before and don't go out very often." He laughed.
"That's a reasonable explanation."
Nivea came in and brought her tea.
"While my secretary is here, you can tell me anything quickly, I don't know much about the company now."
"That's right, the presence of the mutant 'Jimmy' is always likely to attract the attention of the mutant radicals, so we want to ...... for you Protect him. ”
Warren stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers and nodded, "I thought you just wanted to order a batch of 'antidote' weapons, but I didn't expect your appetite to be so big." I'm sorry, but I have to send it off. ”
Although the other party is Nick Fury, there is nothing to talk about in this matter.
Even if the elder Worthington is gone, the other members of the shareholders' meeting are also using their own power to interfere with other people's Worthing labs, after all, that represents huge direct profits, and indirect interests, because in this mutant era, which country does not have mutant criminals? Will they not need an 'antidote' weapon? And the people, some mutant people want to live well, they don't want to be mutants, so how much do they need an 'antidote'?
This thing, even if Warren is young and ignorant, he will let it out, and the shareholders will be upset.
Nick Fury was unfazed, "I'm just saying that our guys are in charge of security and involved in the research of the 'antidote' weapon, and we don't interfere in commercial matters. Since you know us, you know how much we need the 'antidote'. ”
"Yes, I know how much you need to deal with the unusual...... Can't you change your name? Isn't it good to use an abbreviation called 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'? ”
Although this is a good suggestion, Nick Fury does not show great approval on the spot, it is very bland.
"Good advice."
"Do you want to develop more weapons to use against mutants?"
"Yes, because of our peculiarities, there is sometimes a need for a wide range of weapons against mutants, such as a wide range of 'antidote' grenades, rather than small needles."
"Okay, I see, but I still refuse." I don't know what S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to do, but Worthing Labs must not let anyone interfere.
"You want weapons, weapons against mutants on a large scale, no problem, we can develop them for you, but you want to get involved, no."
"Do you have what it takes to protect it?" Nick Fury's eyes were piercing.
"I'm not going to be as conservative as I used to be, although it's a little late, but now Ekaz Island can be covered in the 'antidote' fog at any time, and we've laid a few kilometers of pipelines, which has become a mutant Jedi!" Warren didn't back down at all.
Measure? The measures are already there, simple, but effective, a little more expensive but worth it, a precaution against a massive attack like Magneto's.
Nick Fury didn't continue to press, but showed a smile, "It's good to see that you have protected the antidote so well, it seems that I don't have to worry about this good thing being out of stock if I use it, I hope the next cooperation is happy." By the way, I'll consider your suggestion. ”
"I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, and I hope you can change your name as soon as possible."
