116 An unexpected person
A top-notch condominium not far from The Macallan Group building, one of James McCarron's properties in Manhattan.
Although the Macallan Group is facing difficulties and the situation is worrying, it does not mean that the Macallan family has no money.
After James McCarron received Wilson's request to meet, he learned that Wilson was David's own brother, and without saying a word, he immediately agreed, not daring to slack off at all, for fear of causing trouble again.
It's not that he is jealous of Wilson's status as the emperor of the New York underworld, but he is simply frightened by David a few hours ago.
At this time, the brown-haired female secretary had a smile like a spring breeze on her face, her posture swayed, brought two cups of coffee and put them on the table, and flew away, leaving plenty of space for the two people in the living room to talk.
Neither of them raised their eyes, didn't look at the female secretary, and talked to themselves.
"The North Pole?"
James McCarron looked at the man in front of him and showed puzzlement: "Why did David go to the North Pole?" ”
When he met Wilson here and learned from Wilson about David's next destination, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Shouldn't he go to Cold Spring Harbor?"
"You don't know?"
Wilson was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "I thought his trip to the North Pole had something to do with you." What's going on with Cold Spring Harbor? ”
"I'm sorry, I don't really know why he went to the North Pole."
McCarron shook his head: "All I know is that Cold Spring Harbor has someone he is looking for, and I thought he would go there to complete his revenge, and by the way, I can also take a bad breath." ”
"Because of Rex Louis?"
Wilson thought of the name Wesley had mentioned.
"Yes, Rex Louis, nicknamed the medical officer, was once David's assistant."
McCarron seemed to be stuck in memory, and his tone fluctuated slightly, and he said, "It was under his guidance that I found Davy and exposed David's identity as Dr. Man, hoping that he would be of use to me." ”
After a pause, he gritted his teeth a little: "It turns out that David lived up to my expectations, he successfully studied nanoworms, but unfortunately, nanoworms were not used by me. ”
"Rex deceived you and took control of the nanoworms?"
Wilson instantly understood the story in between: "And you were tricked by him, stabbed Dr. Davidman's identity to the special forces, tried to get rid of David, but underestimated David's ability and got away with it." ”
"You're smart."
"Rex has been using me, or rather using the Macallan Group to do things for him, from beginning to end, and I didn't realize that until I just spoke to David...... Nanoworms never belonged to me! ”
He was in great pain.
As a "businessman" who wants to inherit the glory of his family and grow his arms business, there is nothing more heart-wrenching than watching The Macallan Group gradually become a second-rate arms company.
"So, we're on the same side now."
Wilson understands why David didn't do it when he had the opportunity to take out McCarron.
With James McCarron as an ally, there is room for maneuver on many levels.
"Rex isn't in Cold Spring Harbor. If he was there, New York wouldn't be so peaceful right now. Wilson figured out one thing, "Davy must have gone to the North Pole for Rex." ”
After figuring it out, now Wilson has only one question left.
How is David going to clear his name?
From James McCarron's exchanges, Wilson is basically certain that no matter how David is whitewashed, he is most likely the evil scientist who is notorious internationally, Dr. Mann.
dbender
Transliterated as Dr. Man, the actual meaning can be roughly understood as Dr. Heart Demon.
One can imagine how famous David is in the world.
"How the hell did this kid do that?"
Wilson was in a trance.
Over the years, although he rarely went home, he always kept an eye on the movements at home.
He couldn't have imagined that David, who had been unknown before this year, was regarded as an ordinary person by himself, and treated his mother gently and kindly, could create such an amazing career and make such a huge name in the world.
Even if it is notorious, it is enough to see that Davy's ability is stronger, beyond everyone's expectations.
Wilson thought that David could go to the university and take a time management and acting course to teach the leaders of the underworld.
This would at least reduce the success rate of the gang leader's assassination by 20%.
If it weren't for the shadowing, David would probably have been able to hide it forever and not be discovered.
Of course, in such a comparison, Wilson also somewhat understands why David has changed since a few months ago.
It seems that he realized that the situation had changed, and gradually had a showdown, and he stopped pretending.
"Do you still have contact with Rex?"
Wilson thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Since David chooses to reconcile with you, then I won't be your enemy." The problem is that if you want to end this farce now, you have to detain the black pot to Rex...... You, as one of the parties involved, will help us kill him! ”
"Of course, that's what I want to see."
McCarron didn't shy away from it: "But Rex is out of touch with me, and I can't reach him." If, as you say, Rex is not in Cold Spring Harbor at all, but in the North Pole, it means that this bastard Rex has been hiding something from me. ”
"No, if that's the case, why does he think he has complete control over you?"
Wilson and Rex are the same kind of people who are aware of the problem: "Someone like him, even if he can play with people's hearts, will definitely leave something behind to make sure that nothing goes wrong." For example, place an eyeliner next to you,"
As he spoke, he reacted and looked at the door.
That's the direction in which the female secretary who brought the coffee just now left.
"You mean Anna?"
James McCarron was secretly startled, his eyes widened, he gasped, and his tone was bitter: "...... No way? I was even planning to give her a promotion. ”
Wilson glanced at him.
Are you trying to give a female secretary a promotion?
You want to sleep with her!
……
Wesley stood guard at the door, regaining his dignity as a bodyguard.
He straightened his back, saw the brown-haired woman coming out of the apartment in front of him, smiled confidently, leaned forward, and said hello.
"Hi beauty, are you Mr. McCarron's secretary?"
"Yes, how can I help you?"
The female secretary looked at Wesley politely, smiled and pinned her hair behind her ears, a simple small gesture, but revealing a charming atmosphere.
"Can you tell me your name?"
Wesley's eyes are fiery, and he is quite aggressive as he moves around the proud curves of the female secretary.
"Anna."
"Can you leave a phone call?"
Wesley pressed forward step by step, very proactive: "I smell the same kind of thing in you." ”
Anna took a step back, frightened, and a little wary: "The breath of the same kind? What do you mean? ”
"The breath of singleness." Wesley replied.
"I'm sorry, you're not my thing."
Anna smiled dumbly and shrugged her shoulders: "I don't think we will have a chance to meet in the future." ”
"Okay."
Wesley nodded regretfully, then smiled, "Are you interested in making a bet?" ”
"Bet on what?"
Anna smiled politely, but there was impatience in her eyes.
"Bet that the next time I ask for your phone number, you will tell me obediently."
Wesley grinned and slammed his fist into it.
He moves extremely fast.
Anna didn't even react, but was suddenly startled, and then felt the pain, followed by the darkness in front of her, and instantly lost consciousness.
"Anna Louis ......"
Wesley looked at the woman who fell to the ground, thought of David's previous explanation on the phone, and whispered to himself: "Although you don't have the surname Louis, I'm sure that the person I'm looking for must be you." ”
Crunch –
At this time, the door was opened by Wilson and McAllan, who sensed that something was wrong.
When they saw Anna, unconscious on the ground, and Wesley, who had just withdrawn his fist with a bright smile, they were silent for a moment.
McCarron was still in a daze, and Wilson reacted and patted McCarron on the shoulder: "It seems that everything is under David's control." ”
"Rex doesn't need you anymore, you better think about what you can do."
Wilson left a message to greet Wesley:
"Take her away."
……
Barrow.
Located in the Arctic Circle, one of the northernmost towns in the world and the northernmost town in Alaska, the northernmost town in the United States, it is 3,500 miles away from Washington, the capital of the United States.
The climate is exceptional, surrounded by ice sheets on one side and the Arctic Ocean, which is frozen almost perennially on the other.
Even with its unique spectacle of the Arctic Ocean, Barrow is not widely known.
Because almost no one travels to this hellish place.
When a plane stopped at Barrow's airport, David walked out wrapped in thick clothes.
He rented a car at the airport and drove down the dirt road into town.
There is not a single road in the city that is actually paved, because even if it does, it will be destroyed by the thermal expansion and contraction of the seasonal frozen soil.
Dilapidation, desolation, and lack of life are Barrow's themes.
David had learned a little before he came that it was home to about 5,000 people all year round, making it the second most populous town in the Arctic Circle, after the town of Diksi in the country of Hairy Bears.
Of course, Barrow is a tribe of the Inuit, one of dozens of Alaska native tribes that are the cultural center.
So of the 5,000 people who live here, 60 percent are Alaska Natives, and for the other 40 percent, they are driven by the region's abundant oil resources.
David drove around town and finally walked into the only inn he had ever seen.
"Adventurers?"
The innkeeper raised an eyebrow, speaking fairly proficient English.
David asked rhetorically, "Why not a passenger?" ”
The innkeeper smiled: "Now is not the time to travel, the climate in Barrow hardly changes throughout the year, only in spring and autumn there is a short travel window. Honestly, anyone who dares to stay here for a while, we call him an adventurer. ”
The beach scenery in the northernmost town is truly a rarity.
Boundless ice, water, and the world's end of nothingness.
But it is these landscapes that just confirm the anomaly of the weather and the harshness of the environment in Barrow.
By all accounts, Barrow has never been a great place to travel.
Many people come here and it's more like an adventure.
"I'm curious, has anyone else been here lately besides me?"
David clutched his collar and looked around.
He actually didn't feel that it was too cold, after his body was strengthened, even if he walked naked on the ice field, he could hold out for a while, mainly because he was used to the relatively warm environment, which made people uncomfortable.
"Nope."
The innkeeper laughed, "It's because you don't have that you're an adventurer." ”
"Makes sense."
David saw the innkeeper with the steaming coffee in his hand: "Give me a cup of coffee." ”
"Ten dollars for a glass."
The innkeeper tore open a packet of instant dissolve, stirred it twice, and handed it to David.
"I guess there's no one from the Price Administration and the IRS who will come here to check on you." David sighed.
"There's no price bureau here, but the IRS is a bunch of dead money."
The innkeeper snorted, "I'd rather continue to be a furry bear." ”
Alaska used to be the territory of the Furry Bear Country, but it was sold to the United States by the Furry Bear for a few hundred dollars.
But the Barrow people in Alaska don't care which country they're in.
Because this is the territory of the Inuit, they have their own customs.
Of course, the Inuit also have another name - Eskimos. But they didn't like the name, because it was a nickname given to them by the Indians, which means "people who eat raw meat", and it was full of ridicule.
"Anyway, what's the liveliest place here?"
After Davy paid, while sipping his coffee, he asked nonchalantly, "I want to go to a crowded place and then start my own trip." ”
"You can go and experience the Inuit tavern, where there are many outsiders, and you may have more in common with them."
The innkeeper replied.
A moment later.
After Davy finished his coffee, he walked to the innkeeper's mouth about the Inuit tavern.
The town of Barrow is very small, and even a village in David's previous life is better repaired than here.
Considering the harsh environment of the extremely cold land, all the modernity it has here is also a reminder of the power of human beings in the face of adversity.
When David came to his destination, in an unfamiliar environment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
I actually felt a hint of threat at the door.
It's an amazing feeling.
David narrowed his eyes.
At this point, the threat approached, and when the tavern door was opened, a familiar face came into view.
The other party walked in a hurry, his brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be aware of David's presence, with a hint of vigilance on his face.
But when he saw David, his eyes widened, and the look of wariness on his face disappeared and turned into surprise.
"David, why are you here?"
"Michael, why are you here?"
David was taken aback, he never thought that he would meet an acquaintance here.
The man standing in front of him was none other than Dr. Vampire, Michael Morbius, who had been away from New York for a long time and had not been heard from.
