Chapter 10: What can be wrong with a young man
After returning home.
Nolan, who was already exhausted, fell asleep on the bed.
It wasn't until he woke up the next day that he had the energy to think back to what had happened yesterday.
He's out to kill.
He can be sure that no one knows the purpose of his actions.
But why did he go to an ambush, but he was ambushed?
First of all, it can't be Campbell.
No one can be so stupid.
And Campbell is a few people, so to speak, the whole process is under their own surveillance.
Is it the enemy of the father?
But he had never heard of it.
The most important thing is how his whereabouts were exposed.
Thinking about it, Nolan's face slowly became difficult to look at.
It's not that no one knows.
In fact, there is at least one more person who knows his purpose.
"Uncle Charles, you can't really be another Obadi."
Nolan sighed.
Even though the facts were already in front of him, he still couldn't believe it.
The memories of the original owner for more than ten years are not fake.
So he never thought about this possibility.
But if it weren't for Charles, he couldn't have thought of anything else.
After determining this.
He couldn't help but smile wryly.
This world is really fucked up.
He thought that Charles was his own Alfred Pennyworth.
But the truth is telling him that this is just his wishful thinking.
The only person he could trust didn't exist anymore.
The loss of several major shareholders of the company, coupled with the betrayal of Charles.
The current Locke Company is no longer as simple as being in danger.
If he was smart, he should ignore Charles' threats to himself.
After the company stabilized, he thought about how to deal with him.
But can things really go so smoothly?
Charles, who assassinated once, will really let him go?
Impossible.
"Dear Uncle Charles, it looks like we need a long talk."
Nolan muttered to himself.
Maybe... Did he misunderstand?
Just as he was thinking.
There was a knock on the door.
Nolan walked over.
There was a familiar face standing outside.
When he opened the door, he saw three men standing in the doorway.
"Hello Mr. Locke, I'm Phil Coulson of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, and these are my two assistants.
We have a few things we would like to ask you about. ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Nolan feigned puzzlement.
"Oh, sorry, that name you said was too long."
Coulson was stunned for a moment.
"S.H.I.E.L.D., that's a good name."
The previous name was indeed too long.
It's too much trouble for them to even call themselves.
After showing their papers, Nolan let them into the house.
"That's right, Mr. Locke, did you know that last night, there was a terrible murder."
"Of course."
Nolan rubbed his temples in some annoyance.
"I think that the loss of a few shareholders, Locke may be in big trouble, originally I wanted to continue the sale of K-01, let Locke go further, now it seems that this plan may be delayed for a long time."
"Then do you know what opponents the Locke Company has?" Coulson continued.
"That's a lot, like Stark Industries, Osborne Industries, and ......"
Nolan said a whole bunch of names.
Coulson and the two assistants looked at each other.
I've long heard that Nolan Locke is different from his shrewd father, just a keen researcher, and now it seems that it is.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows it.
He said that these businesses ......
None of them would take Locke Company seriously.
"Okay, that's all for our questioning for now, if you have any other news, you can contact me directly."
As he spoke, Coulson handed him a business card.
Just as the three of them were about to leave.
Coulson suddenly turned around.
"Do you know what model of robot they killed Campbell?"
Nolan's face was full of confusion.
"What robot?"
"Nothing, excuse me."
With that, the three of Coulson left.
"This guy is really leaky."
Coulson sighed.
The two on the side were surprised.
"Boss, isn't that a boy who doesn't know anything about the world."
Coulson smiled.
"Didn't you notice?
We came here this time and didn't get any useful information.
But forget it, it is unlikely that Nolan Locke will be involved in this matter, and the robot cannot be researched by him. ”
On the other side, Nolan waited for Coulson to leave, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had already thought of this possibility.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is really fast.
Killed a few people.
Nolan hasn't forgotten those contracts either.
He has placed a tracking robot in the home of everyone who has signed a contract.
These little guys don't have much combat power though.
But the detection ability is good.
And yesterday, while he killed a few people, these tracking robots also used their hands to destroy the evidence in their hands.
That is, after all, a confidential contract.
It did not go through the official notarization process.
Only the videos they recorded themselves speak for themselves.
It's a pity that there is one less!
In addition to the people he killed yesterday, Morse lent him ten million.
And yesterday, Morse was not involved in this.
But fortunately, if it's only 10 million, he can still pay it back.
conference room
Nolan sits in the chairman's seat.
By his side, as always, dear Uncle Charles.
Charles is still the same conscientious appearance.
After the regular meeting report, Nolan suddenly spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard the news of the accident with Campbell and other directors.
The current Locke Company can be described as stormy, and the most important thing is that we don't even know who did it to several directors.
Considering that some of the directors are under a lot of pressure, I can reclaim your shares. ”
Hearing Nolan's words, many directors were taken aback.
A lot of people are a little moved.
K-01 is excellent.
But a product can't support a company.
And now the matter of several directors has not yet come to light.
A little exposure will undoubtedly cause a major earthquake.
At this moment, Morse spoke:
"Nolan, you can't have directed and acted in a play.
Because of the research on K-01, I want to kick us directors out of the way.
Speaking of which, why did Campbell die?
They have a grudge against you.
Could it be... You're doing it......"
In an instant, everyone's eyes looked at Nolan.
Nolan glanced at Morse.
These few words are tantamount to his self-explosion.
If that killer hadn't been hired by him, it would definitely have nothing to do with Morse.
Nolan looked at him deeply, his face was a little deep and sad, and he said:
"This is Locke, my father's legacy.
Why should I do it, did I want to ruin my father's hard work? ”
That's why he killed a few directors without worrying at all.
He has no motive.
At least until anyone knew that Campbell wanted to kill him, he didn't have any motive.
He was just a poor young man who was not yet twenty years old and had just lost his father.
What could he do wrong?
