Was it Malick? Or was it Strucker? Or even.. Pierce? Names popped into
Garrett’s head.
It could be any one of them, but there wasn’t enough motive.
To put it simply, it wouldn’t be beneficial for them to take action. ‘filose on the
inside tended to stay in their own lanes.
The world was so big; there was plenty of room for everyone to expand. ‘Ihere
was no need for them to enter someone else’s territory right now.
Furthermore, Lamar wasn’t Garrett’s alone; there was someone else involved
with the Death Soldier prototype.
Technically speaking, Garrett only had part of the technology and the right to
use it. Any subsequent development was the other person’s business.
Now that Lamar was gone, Garrett had to give an explanation.
Although he had kept his ident.i.ty secret during this collaboration, Garrett
didn’t want to provoke an enemy of this level. It would be too troublesome.
Thinking this, Garrett curled his lip. He would see who stirred up trouble with
the other side! ‘Ihere were some secrets that shouldn’t be touched.
Thinking that, Garrett poured himself a cup of coffee and paid attention to his
computer.
Luke found his first target, only to discover that the man was already in the
- Slipped off so quickly.” He curled his lip and went to the residence of the
second target, only to see a beautifully made-up woman about to leave.
She was a 40-year-old lady who was a department manager at a trading
company. She was responsible for the transportation and storage of various
Since she was a woman, there was no reason for Luke to hesitate.
After Luke knocked her out, he used Pheromone Control, and she woke
up, she spat out everything she knew.
But this person wasn’t very valuable.
She was a criminal, but all she knew was that she was helping someone
transport illegal goods. She never looked too deep into it.
It could be said that she was very smart.
Because she knew too little, she was worthless.
Luke cursed inwardly, knowing that he had run into a low-ranking target.
But that couldn’t be helped. He only had a few targets that he could locate for
This was DC. , and too big a move might draw the attention of the authorities.
In particular , some of the people on the list were probably at gatherings of
influential figures at the moment; looking for each one would be wasting a lot
of time.
Luke could only go through the easy targets first.
Those people weren’t in a hurry.
They were rich and powerful; how could they just disappear? They would lose
decades’ worth of hard work
Their ident.i.ty was both a s.h.i.+eld and a shackle; they had to bear its weight in
order to protect themselves.
The third target was an electrical engineer called Todd McCerson, who had
once helped Lamar debug and fine-tune the machinery.
When Luke found the engineer, Todd had just driven away.
Thankfully, there were fevver people in DC. , and it was a cold winters night, so
Luke was able to track the driver by his scent.
Just as Luke was about to stop Todd’s car, two black SUVs suddenly turned
around and forced Todd to stop.
‘IWo men in black hoods got out of an SUV , got Todd into their car, and left.
Luke raised an eyebrow. “What a coincidence.”
He didn’t touch them.
Engineer Todd wasn’t a bad guy. At the very least, the system had judged him
to be a neutral yellow.
He was basically just a technician.
It was just like how the staff and workers who helped Starks vwapons division
build missiles in bulk weren’t villains just because they built the missiles.
Luke hadn’t planned to eliminate this engineer Todd; he was just an informant.
Now, this information source had lured out a bunch of fully armed individuals.
Todd had done a great job.
Luke followed the two SUVs to a factory in the outskirts. He didn’t follow them
inside.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the factory.
It wouldn’t be easy to sneak in silently.
Besides, there was no need for him to do so. With all the activity going on in
such a large factory, there would inevitably be more clues left behind. Why
would he rush in now and alert the enemy?
After asking the A1. to quickly check the database, he frowned.
He saw a very familiar name — Roxxon Energy.
This company wasn’t a small fry, but a super corporation that permeated the
daily lives of Americans.
To give the simplest example, anyone who refueled their car would, three to
five times out of ten, see the “ROXXON” sign on the gas pump.
The company had indeed been called Oil at the beginning, but had been
renamed Roxxon Energy; its ambitions were obvious.
This company was quite famous in Luke’s eyes.
It was the biggest obstacle to Tony entering the energy industry.
The father of Tandy Bowen, the original ovmer of Light of Life, had been held
responsible for the accident on the oil rig. Everything that his uidow and
daughter had kiere seized, leaving them with nothing.
In addition, Roxxon had unclear ties to the Hand.
The biggest partner of Black Sky Elektra’s fathers company was Roxxon, and
they had worked together to manufacture biological pharmaceuticals.
Elektra’s father had been dead for years, so after Luke imprisoned Elektra,
Rouon actually swallowed up the company.
In addition, NIatt and Foggy left their interns.h.i.+ps at a top-rate law firm uhen
Rouon Corporation wanted them to counter sue a terminally ill worker.
From these things, it wasn’t hard to see that Corporation was ruthless,
and wasn’t just limited to the field of energy.
Instead, they used energy as a foundation to extend into more industries.
For example, they had subsidiaries or holdings which manufactured machine
components, processed food ingredients and constructed
-end
neighborhoods.
At the same time, the company invested a fair amount in clean energy,
cutting-edge materials, biopharmaceuticals, and so on.
As a giant capitalist corporation, it certainly wasn’t stupid enough to invest
directly.
It used all sorts of means to acquire shares in many small companies just
before the latter reaped the fruits of their labor.
Whether it sold the shares or completely annexed the company depended on
how big the benefits were.
In this respect, Jenny’s t.i.tanium Phone Company was as pure as a newborn
angel.
Even Stark Industries had boundaries.
Roxxon Corporation, on the other hand, was a model of a big capitalist. It
wasn’t wrong at all to describe it with words like •ruthless,’ ‘cruel’ and
tnalicious.’
It was just that most ordinary people wouldn’t hear the negative press on the
company.
If Hydra was a poisonous nine-headed viper that could cause large numbers of
innocent deaths each time, Roxxon Corporation was a ferocious jackal which
needed to constantly hunt down the weak in order to live more comfortably.
Thinking for a moment, Luke set up a surveillance camera at an intersection
near the factory and left.
It didn’t matter what role Roxxon played in this.
The important thing was that it was a crop field which he would harvest sooner
or later, so he just ignored it this time..
