Miglio's headquarters, the Optimus Prime Tower, is the most luxurious place Ryan has ever seen.

Dy

Most of the properties in amis are located in the northeastern part of the city, with Rust Tow

Far from it. Unlike its neighbors, this area caters to the highest elite of New Rome. Il Miglio

The e-tower is 70 storeys tall and half is a top-floor skyscraper and half a luxury hotel. The lower level is larger than the upper level and has gardens, pool balconies, and even a helipad, while the upper level houses offices. The building was clearly inspired by the Art Deco movement, combining luxury, sparkling splendor with modern geometric design.

Ryan himself met in a spaciously decorated waiting room on the 63rd floor. A secretary in his 30s works on a computer behind a desk while another familiar face waits in another chair near the closed door of the office.

Through the window of the room, Ryan could see the real Dy nearby

AMIS HQ, a reinforced glass spire overlooking the city; Even Il Miglio

The E building also cannot be compared to it in terms of scale, at least 20 floors less than its big brother. How fitting that the company's fortress overlooks New Rome and its superhero base.

Take a closer look, Dy

The headquarters of the amis makes Rya

Reminds me of those futuristic architectural designs, which imply complete self-sufficiency. He noticed that some floors had some greenhouses and gardens, and even a reservoir; However, after a certain point, something in the composition of the glass prevents the genome from seeing through it. How to doubt.

Unlike the city center, both buildings are protected by elite units of private security; They are dressed in white armor, armed with a laser cannon on their right arm, and armed with state-of-the-art weapons. Unlike their cousins, they were a real military force, well-trained and loyal to the interests of Dinamus.

He heard that they don't even take bribes!

"I'm sorry." After an hour of restlessness, Ryan turned to another person waiting for an appointment. "Are you...... Pandas?"

The poor bear looked up at him hopefully. Compared to the previous cycle, the heroes of the future seem to be less bombastic and more low-key. "You know me?"

"Of course I know you!" You're a panda! The last one!" Ryan said as he shook his fist to increase the effect. "I always get goosebumps when I see you riding a righteous bike!"

"Thank you! The actor replied, suddenly much happier. He must be happy to have at least one "fan" in this world. "I'm really trying to live up to my panda legacy and make them popular again."

"But what is a lone hero doing in this bastion of collective superheroism?"

"Panda ...... The panda struggles on its own," he admitted. "I really wanted to be a solo hero, but it was hard. None of the bad guys want to fight me in public because I'm too strong for them. ”

"I'm sure you are," Ryan replied with heavy sarcasm, and Panda didn't listen at all.

"It's so frustrating!" He said. "I wouldn't be in the news without a good duel, you know?" Really, great power brings great isolation. ”

It sounded as if he believed that, too.

“Roma

Mr. O?" Ryan looked up when the secretary called his name. "Mr. Manada will receive you."

Finally!" Good luck with your interview," Panda said to Ryan as the courier walked towards the office door. "What's your name?"

“Quicksave !” Ryan replied with a thumbs up. "I'm immortal, but don't tell anyone!"

"I won't!"

The secretary lets Ryan in, then closes the door. The courier walks around an office as big as a house, but most of the space inside is occupied by flowers. Dozens of different plants such as geraniums, rose bushes, chrysanthemums, peonies, and more are on display. There's even a small Japanese pond in the office with golden carp swimming.

A slender man waits for the courier behind a mahogany desk, which is positioned so that a spectacular view of New Rome can be seen through a full window. If he weren't the supreme authority on the superhero team, Ryan would mistake his master for a supervillain. The man wears an expensive tuxedo with a black rose on the left, white gloves, and hides his face behind a white helmet of some style, reminding Ryan of the goofy punk electronic band before the war.

The courier could only praise his stylish style.

"I'm E

ique Ma

ada, Dy

Chief Brand Officer of amis and Il Miglio

Lead Manager of the e-project. The man shook Ryan's hand, his voice sounding pleasant, but firm. He smelled like a rose, probably a perfume. "You can also call me Blackthorn."

"I don't see any thorns in you—" Ryan gasped as he noticed the material of the suit. "Wait, is that cashmere?"

"You have a keen eye," Enrique said thoughtfully, showing Ryan a wooden chair and inviting him to sit down. "We're in Dy

AMIS has its own production plan because we cannot import from Asia. It's frighteningly expensive to make, but elegance is priceless. ”

While sitting, Ryan barely noticed the man, his eyes fixed on his clothes. He wanted a suit like that, too!

"We have no shortage of volunteers who want to join our superhero team," Enrique said, fingers clasped together. "But very few people come to my office. I believe in personal recommendation, Mr. Romano. If it weren't for Wynne vouching for you, we wouldn't be having today's conversation. ”

Ryan briefly wonders who recommended Panda among all, and he believes that the mystery is just as important as hunting down the assassins.

"She seems to have a crush on you, especially after you warned her beforehand about our nearest prisoner. This makes me wonder how you knew about the ghoul trying to escape. ”

"Just a gut feeling," Ryan replied innocently.

"I don't believe you," Enrique replied, rushing straight for his jugular vein. "Recently we had trouble with private security, and several members of the team responsible for escorting the ghoul were actively trying to help him escape. If you are aware of any security breaches, I would be very grateful for sharing information. ”

Well, Ryan also came looking for information, so everything was fine. But he was troubled by the fact that the superpowered had placed an inside line in his private security. It doesn't surprise him that they'll bribe the locals to turn a blind eye, but the gang seems to be much more organized than most Psycho bands.

He'll look into it.

"In any case, I have to thank you for being here. I'm sure our competitors have made you an offer, because they know that Vulcan and Wynne are competitors, and your trust in us won't go unrewarded. Enrique watched Ryan closely. Why would you want to join Millionaire?"

"Ever since I was younger, I've always wanted to be an advertisement."

"An advertisement?"

"Just like Mr. Clean and Felix the Cat. I'm a sign of consumerism, and my face is printed on every cereal box. ”

"Uh-huh," Enrique replied, looking serious.

"Beyond human condition, to become a packaged product. It's always been a dream of mine. ”

"Uh-huh," Enrique nodded, "what's the real reason?"

Ryan shrugged. "Greedy?"

"Your psychological profile tells me otherwise."

They even have a psychological profile? Poor kids, Ryan doesn't know how many people went crazy while compiling this book. "Well, well, I thought it would be fun to try to be a superhero, and I promised others that I would kick the superpowers out of the city as a personal help. Work and play. ”

"The Yuan Gang is a problem," Enrique admits, "though not as serious as Augustus." Who do you owe a favor?"

"There's a guy named Poly in Rusty Town. He probably doesn't even remember me, though. ”

"I'm sure there's an interesting story behind this," the company planner said thoughtfully. "I'll spread my cards, Mr. Romano. I am conflicted about your case. According to our research team, you have an incredible strength with high potential for development. Your weapon skills are impressive, and security checks can prove it. I didn't even know that a child's stuffed animal could fit so many miniature weapons, even if I didn't understand the point of that. ”

"They'll never see it coming," Ryan explained.

"It reminds me of the matter at hand," Enrique handed Ryan a small stack of papers. "A sixteen-page index of complaints from the people of Italy about the collateral damage caused by your name"

There was something that bothered Ryan a lot. "Only sixteen pages?"

"Maybe you expected more?"

"Of course," Ryan replied, "I think I'm too good at silencing witnesses." ”

The company's genome was not affected at all. "Then add 18 more demographics," he said. "There is no place for cannons in Dinams. If we sign a work contract together, outrageous behavior will not be tolerated. ”

"Hey, I always follow orders strictly," Ryan defended himself, his honor hurting, "and it's not my fault if everyone leaves room for interpretation of these methods!"

"I won't. However, I need more reassurance. While no one has ever accused you of betraying a contract, you have a mercenary past and suspicious connections to a certain criminal genius. ”

He gave Ryan a picture, and the messenger's heart skipped a beat.

That's her, in a photo of a suspect. She was a few years older, and there was a dark circle under her eye in the photo, but it was her, holding a piece of paper with numbers written on it, and glaring at the photographer.

“Le

o。 Ryan could feel Blackthorne's eyes examining his face, looking for any signs of weakness. Freddie Sabino's daughter, under the pseudonym Bloodstream. An extremely dangerous psychopath, almost on a par with Grand Adam and Augustus, until he died at Leo Hargraves' carnival four years ago. Many witnesses said he was traveling with his daughter and an unidentified teenage boy, whose body was never found. ”

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, rookie." Ryan said very seriously, putting the picture in his coat. "Where is she?"

"For the time being in a place you can't reach. I've had a crush on her for a while. Her arrest is a credit to my brother, the Vice President, and the loss of our opportunity to recruit her. He believed in harsh means, and I believed in rehabilitation. The public loves redemption stories. ”

"If I'm doing well, you're going to take me to Ryan and hopefully I'll be able to get her on your team." Definitely an evil mastermind.

"Ah, now we're a little bit of progress," Enrique replied. "Mr. Romano, if you tell me the truth, it will be much better for us. How much is she worth to you?"

"Everything."

"Perfect. Here is my proposal: you and Il Miglio

Sign a five-year contract to help us clean up the filth of New Rome and promote Dy

AMIS branding, and most importantly, you have to follow the rules. In exchange, we give you a clean record, generous accommodation, and the opportunity to be reunited with Miss Sabino."

He handed Ryan a contract that was much heavier than the collateral damage complaint, but the courier didn't notice it at all. The deal sounded a lot like the Vulcan deal, only with less personal vendettas. "What do you want out of it, rookie?"

"Most people think that my family is only interested in profit," Enrique said, "but what we really want is to rebuild Italian society into a prosperous country." "Unfortunately, this dream was unattainable when groups like Mehta, Augustus and Marauders were rampant."

"A proud country protected by copyright, huh?"

"We also want to democratize the superpower through reverse engineering and mass production of elixirs," Enrique replied, ignoring the poke. "Depending on your contract, you will receive a full d

a-test; If you don't fulfill your contractual obligations, a private security company's drone can track you. You will also be asked to participate in our elixir research and development program. We employ very few people like you with Purple Genome. ”

He should have known that they wouldn't want him just because of his pretty face. "You can't replicate my power."

"We've made tremendous strides in our ability to replicate, and we've even created fully functional generic elixirs."

"You can't replicate my powers," Ryan repeated his own words. "I've tried so many times that you can't count them."

"Very well, then you can share your findings with the research department," Enrique ignored him. "As for the heroic work, we will Il Miglio

The e-series is divided into two very different branches: the Pro League, aimed at the likes of Wyve

Such idols; and the Junior Baseball League, in which teenagers and lesser-known superheroes participate. Obviously, you'll start with our secondary group. ”

Ryan listened as Enrique explained to him the rules within the company—mostly small talk within the company—and then grabbed the contract and skimmed it. While the possibility of meeting Ryan is as tempting as ever, the Courier is most interested in finding the Assassin in this loop. Visit Dy

AMIS's architecture and database will be of great help. It would be nice if the company could quickly introduce him to Ryan; If they drag on too long, he will simply get the information and return to the route of Augustus.

Something caught his attention. "Only 30% royalties?" Ryan asked. "It's theft."

"We'll also change your name," E

"Quicksave isn't strong enough for our marketing department, and video games are a very niche market right now," says Ique. How about the Time Lords? The publicist says it will quickly become popular, especially among teenagers. ”

A soulless name is meant to please hordes of monsters.

Why does Ryan feel like he made a deal with Satan?
