The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 405 Favor is very important

It wasn't a lie that Lake just said that he had no direct connection to Lara Croft.

It was Professor X who went to Himiko with Lara Croft.

and so……

Associated with Lara Croft is Professor X.

Before, if Maria Hill asked for help, Lake might have gone to London, but a simple task of arresting people was made so complicated, Lake was afraid that he would not be able to restrain his violent temper when he got there.

Originally, this deal had already been negotiated with the military, but it's still the same sentence, it's better for Lake not to mess in, lest something goes wrong and someone dumps the blame.

In the federation, throwing blame and preventing blame are basically compulsory courses.

At this moment.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon on Lake's side, but it was already ten o'clock in the evening on the London side.

But it was already approaching midnight, in the Crawford Manor, after returning from Yamatai Island, Laura Crawford, who had completely inherited the Crawford Group, was still in the study with her godmother Anna Miller chatting.

Speaking of chatting, it was more about Laura Crawford asking Anna Miller about some company matters.

After all, Lake's version of Laura is not the Laura of the original story, so the Laura here, after returning from Yamatai and burying her father with her godmother Anna Miller, seems to have died overnight. He grew up in time, and took over the power of the Crawford Group without any rebellion.

However, Laura still trusts Anna Miller, and let Anna Miller continue to be the executive president of the Crawford Group.

But other than that.

No more.

In Anna Miller's eyes, Laura, who was originally quite relieved to grow up overnight, seemed to have returned to her original form after spending two months in the Crawford Group honestly.

Let's say that.

Laura seems to be more interested in the Holy Trinity organization than the Crawford Group. It seems that she wants to take over the mantle of her father Richard Crawford and also go on the road of archaeology.

It even seems that in order not to let myself follow in the footsteps of her father, the reopened Crawford Manor is almost being remodeled by Laura with great thought.

Anna Miller has a headache about this.

The key point is that every time she wanted to persuade Laura, Laura did not directly choose to ignore the cold violence as before, but instead asked her if she still loved her like a baby.

Ms. Anna Miller wanted to laugh, but also looked helpless.

Not tonight though.

No matter what Laura said, Anna Miller's attitude was very firm: "Merrick's Dudley Dursley is stupid, but he is very arrogant. If you don't show up, he may think that Crawford The group is belittling him and directly refusing to sign."

Laura frowned: "Does this Merrick have the technology we want?"

Although Laura is still not interested in business, she still knows that in front of the Crawford Group, this Merrick is just a younger brother.

Anna Miller said: "The Federation's Stark Industries has decided to enter the energy industry. Once Stark's small ark reactor is pushed away, the entire energy market will face a reshuffle. This is why we want to acquire Merrick." reason."

Although the Crawford Group has a wide range of main businesses, just like Stark Industries, the most profitable business is always the arms business that started, and the Crawford Group is the same.

Of course.

The Crawford Group started out in real estate, but they also dabbled in the energy market, and paid off.

However, when Stark Industries enters the energy industry, the market will be completely reshuffled. The Crawford Group is not one of those companies that insist on energy, and there is no need to compete with Stark Industries. In addition, the Crawford Group has been working hard for years It is in the medical industry, so it is also a good choice to sell energy when the market is okay and then transfer the main business to the medical industry.

Although Merrick Biomedical Group’s three-year-advocated dream of eradicating cancer has not come true, Merrick still has some basic reserves over the years. Crawford is not short of money, but he is too lazy to spend money to acquire a Finished or semi-finished products, in fact, are the most economical solutions.

Laura said, "Okay..."

at this time.

The phone rang.

Laura was taken aback for a moment, looking at her unlit mobile phone, then, as if thinking of something, she opened her backpack and took out a satellite phone.

connected.

Laura didn't wait for Lake on the other side of the phone to speak, and said in surprise: "Professor X?"

Anna Miller, who was sitting next to Laura, raised her eyebrows.

Although Anna and Laura only met Professor X once, for some people, meeting once is enough to leave a deep impression on them, especially this Professor X is also a member of the extraordinary world.

Lake, who was in New York, heard Laura's slightly surprised voice, smiled, and said in Professor X's voice: "Good evening, Laura, are you asleep?"

"I'm learning," Laura said.

Lake smiled, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with Laura, he turned the topic directly to business, after all, Hill over there was still waiting for his reply: "Laura, I'm calling this time, is it I need you to do me a favor."

Laura said without thinking, "Of course, any favor."

At the beginning, Laura didn't trust Professor X, but after Yamatai and his party, there was no doubt that Professor X was already on Laura's trust list, and it was one of the top ones.

MMP?

Listening to Laura's unhesitating answer on the phone, Lake began to have some doubts. Was it wrong to use the identity of Professor X at that time? Professor X is cloned.

Lake said directly: "I have a friend."

Not finished.

Laura replied directly: "That old... Lake Edwin, right?"

Listening to Laura's habitual change of words, Lake laughed loudly: "Yes, he just contacted me, hoping to find you through me, so that you can do him a favor."

talking.

Lake directly told Laura what happened in London now.

Asking someone for help, if you don't intend to deceive people, the best way is to say something, rather than talking about it after the fact, it is better to say it clearly from the beginning.

After hearing this, Laura said with some uncertainty: "You want me to help, help the Federation, enter the Merrick Group building, and then arrest Dudley Dursley?"

Lake said: "Yes, you can tell this to your godmother, Ms. Miller. I learned from my friend that you seem to be going to the Merrick Building tomorrow. There is an acquisition meeting?"

Laura looked directly at her godmother, then spoke to Lake, and gave the phone to Anna Miller.

After all, this matter is a bit too mysterious.

In a word.

Laura herself is from London, and Lake's request just now seems to ask Laura to be a traitor, which makes it difficult for Laura to make a choice for a while.

Fortunately, Lake didn't make things difficult for Laura. After all, Laura was only in her early twenties, and to put it simply, she was still in a little pink state.

Anna Miller over there answered the phone.

"I'm Anna Miller, good evening, Professor X."

"good evening."

Lake and Anna Miller greeted each other, briefly explained the cause and process of the matter, and then said: "If Dudley Dursley is caught, I think Ms. Miller can pay the least price." Complete the acquisition."

This is why Lake made the call after he knew the whole thing, thought about it, and felt that it could be operated.

The Crawford Group wants to acquire Merrick. If Merrick's family members are directly arrested by the Federation for major federal crimes, there is no doubt that Merrick's market value will plummet.

At that time, if the Crawford Group wants to acquire Merrick, the required cost will definitely be far lower than planned.

but……

Anna Miller said calmly, "But, I brought him over from the Crawford Group."

At that time, the Commonwealth will leave. Although Crawford is not afraid of the impeachment of the House of Commons, and the relationship of the Crawford Group is in the House of Lords, after all, there are still too many civilians in London, especially in recent years, with the immigration of a certain country Gradually, the majestic imperial capital of the Empire, where the sun never sets, is filled with an abnormal Madonna wind.

Lake laughed: "So, I may wrong Ms. Anna and Laura tomorrow. As long as the two of you don't intervene, then this is not a problem, is it?"

Anna Miller did not speak.

after awhile.

Anna Miller said directly: "I have a request."

"Please say!"

"Since the friend of Professor X asked for this favor, the Crawford Group is willing to help, but the Crawford Group also wants Professor X's friend to do us a favor."

"Tell me."

"Originally, when the Crawford Group acquired Merrick, they valued Merrick's current inherent market, but obviously, the Federation's market is likely to be closed to Merrick, right?"

"Yes."

Once this matter is over, there is no doubt that the entire Federation will close the door to Merrick. If, if Merrick belongs to some other small country, or if it is not a Western country, there is no such thing as such a simple closing. Things started to sanction.

Anna Miller said: "The Crawford Group hopes to have a meeting with Mr. Tony Stark through Professor X's friend, hoping to cooperate on energy."

Lake stroked his chin and didn't speak.

Anna Miller continued: "Of course, whether it is successful or not, it has nothing to do with Professor X."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

next second.

Lake said: "Okay, I can agree to this for my friend, so we have reached an agreement, Ms. Anna Miller?"

Ms. Anna Miller said: "Of course, Professor X."

Lake said: "Someone will contact you later."
