Chapter 226: Someday in the future, I'll take something away from you
……
Huey, led by a caddy, met Xia Shang who was swinging.
"High society sports, cool~" Huey smiled and took the golf club, aiming at the golf ball on the ground.
"It's not a sport that you can experience once for two hundred dollars, and the only advantage here is that the environment is good."
Xia Shang watched the golf ball fly out in a parabolic manner, and then landed on the lawn and rolled forward, but unfortunately, a gust of wind that had just blown changed the trajectory of the ball, causing the ball to pass by the hole.
"If I had that experience when I was in school, I would have been able to brag about it in front of my peers for a long time." Huey quipped as he received hands-on instruction from the caddy.
"Mr. Mystery, I thought you would meet at a restaurant in New York like last time, but I didn't expect it to be a golf course, to be honest, on the way here, my calves couldn't help but shudder, for fear that someone would sell me that hundreds of thousands of dollars a year membership card."
"It's not that exaggerated, what do you want to drink?"
"Whatever, anything." Huey threw his first shot hard, but like most freshmen, his club didn't hit the golf ball on the ground.
"Gentlemen, please wait."
The discerning caddy took a few steps back, bowed slightly, and then turned away.
"How's Billy doing?" Xia Shang asked.
"It's still the same, since Béjat's death, he's become an alcoholic, and he's drunk almost every day unconscious." Huey didn't expect that Bécarat's death would bring such a heavy blow to Billy, he originally thought that Billy would go crazy and seek revenge on his countrymen, but the result was not.
However, this is not a bad thing, with their strength, to go to the motherland to make trouble is undoubtedly to hit the stone with an egg and bring about their own destruction.
"I also heard about Béjat's death, but it's been a month, hasn't he gotten better?" Xia Shang picked up the mineral water bottle on the table, unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
He didn't seem surprised by Billy's performance.
Huey shook his head, "He became moody, and sometimes I could only find him in front of the nightclub. ”
"So what are you going to do next? Disband the party? Living a peaceful life individually? ”
"At the moment, I don't seem to have any choice but to keep the status quo unless Billy bounces back on his feet."
Huey couldn't figure out what Billy was thinking.
It stands to reason that after Béjart's death, he should be crazy about revenge, but now, Billy is like a drunkard addicted to alcohol.
"Actually, it's not bad to live like this, at least you don't have to worry about being killed at any time like before." Huey had little interest in golf, so after a few attempts, he decided to give up.
"I heard that Walter has recently been working on a new product, Temporary Compound Five." Xia Shang said indifferently.
"Temporary Compound Five?" Huey didn't intend to ask how the other party learned about this confidential information, anyway, in his eyes, the other party had always been mysterious and knew the Waters Group very well.
"It's a potion that temporarily gives superpowers to ordinary people, just like the number six compound you used, but without the drawbacks of memory loss." In fact, Xia Shang has been paying attention to the research and development of compound No. 5, and now it is in the clinical stage, although it has not yet been put into use, but the efficacy has basically stabilized.
Huey couldn't help but frown: "This is not good news, once this potion spreads, it will cause unimaginable chaos, and I feel that my workload will increase at least tenfold." ”
"Don't worry, Edgar won't let this potion enter the market for the time being, after all, at its price, the average family may not be able to afford it." Xia Shang put down the mineral water bottle in his hand and looked at the scenery in the distance.
"To get back to the point, I heard that you came to me this time to find out about the Repayer Alliance?"
"That's right, I want to know if the Soldier Boy is dead, I remember you said last time, the Motherland is not the strongest superhuman."
Clearly, Huey hasn't given up on pursuing Water, and he's also looking for good news to get Billy back on his feet.
"Mallory should have been asked about it, not me, she knew a lot more than I did." Xia Shang said.
"I don't think Mallory will answer a drunkard's question."
Huey was a little discouraged.
"He just didn't make it over Béjart's death, maybe he should have been given some more time, he'll be sober."
"I hope so." Huey was not hopeful about Xia Shang's words.
After Huey left, Billy, dressed in a black robe, quietly appeared behind Xia Shang.
"He doesn't seem to know what you're doing these days?" Xia Shang said.
"He didn't have to know."
Billy took out a tube of compound No. 5 from his bosom in an indifferent tone, "Thirteen poisonous insects didn't even survive, all of them exploded and died, the lethality rate of this thing is higher than I thought." ”
"So I reminded you that it's best to wait until the provisional compound No. 5 is developed before you inject it, but you seem to be in a bit of a hurry." After Beja's death, Billy found Xia Shang privately, and his purpose in finding Xia Shang was to ask for the No. 6 compound in Xia Shang's hand, but Xia Shang did not give him anything.
Because he knew very well that Compound No. 6 was a cover for deception, and it was okay to deceive Huey, but if it was handed over to Billy, it was estimated that it would soon be revealed, so the only thing Xia Shang could give him was Compound No. 5.
"Hell knows when that thing will be developed, I can't wait that long." Billy said in a deep voice.
"Maybe you can gamble, maybe you're the lucky one."
"I never believed in luck, I only believed in myself."
A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes before he put Compound Five back.
"Why are you helping me?" Billy didn't believe that the mysterious person in front of him would help him for no reason.
"Didn't I tell you before, one day in the future, I would take something from you."
"Among them is life?"
"Of course." Xia Shang smiled.
However, what exactly to take away depends on the fusion conditions of Billy's ability, if it is life, it can only be blamed on his bad luck.
Hearing Xia Shang's reason, Billy put his mind at ease, his life is nothing compared to revenge, if the other party wants it, take it.
"So I'm going to focus on the Reimburser Alliance, as you said? But even if I find the Soldier Boy, how can I be sure that he will not turn against Walter and choose to help me get rid of the Motherland? Billy spoke out about what he had been worried about.
