Warlock of the Marvel Universe

Jill Valentine, Director of Security, Umbrella Corporation.

Originally, he had received help from Ivan Vanke and finally had a chance to surpass Tony Stark. Justin Hammer, who was very proud of himself, showed joy on his face after hearing his follower Jack say this name. The expression disappeared instantly, and the muscles under the corners of the eyes twitched unconsciously, which was caused by tension.

And the reason why it had these reactions after hearing this name started half a month ago.

Half a month ago, Justin felt that this was the most unlucky time in his life. Tony Stark, the target of his envy and hatred, not only invented the steel suit, a cross-era weapon, but also became a superhero admired by everyone. Under Tony's brilliance, he felt like a clown who was ignored.

Then the Ministry of Defense asked him to be the shooter. At the hearing that was to be held soon, he stated the theory that Iron Man should not be private, forcing Tony to hand over this technology to the military, otherwise the contract would be terminated with him.

He himself would like to see Tony defeated, but this is not easy. The current private ownership and constitution of the United States make all his remarks can only be regarded as strong words. But if he does not do this, he will lose the favor of the military and the government. It really was nothing, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

But that's not all. He fell in love with a super cool sports car parked on the side of the road, and saw that Hunter wanted to buy it, but he never thought that the owner of the car, the poor country bumpkin who sold amulets Humiliation, mocking him as a poor guy who was stepped on by Tony Stark.

Not to mention, the police who arrived later were obviously partial to the poor man and drove him away roughly.This made him, an arms dealer who made his fortune by smuggling arms, have to sigh: The collusion between government and businessmen is so dark.

And the most terrifying thing was that less than two days had passed since this incident, and he didn't have time to deal with that poor guy. SHIELD got into trouble and inspected his business twice in Liberia, which scared him so much that he almost... I didn’t jump from the sixteenth floor.

He didn't have time to calculate the financial losses. What he wanted to find out most was what exactly did SHIELD want to do?Want to follow the clues and get to the bottom of yourself?If this is really the case, then he can really only say one thing before jumping off the building: If I die alone, I can save a large number of people. I hope those people can treat their families well.

But just when he was planning his inheritance and whether he should distribute it to his mistress who was raised outside, SHIELD's investigation suddenly ended, leaving him unclear about the situation. Finally, after many inquiries, he found out that he was in the Department of Defense. The liaison person gave him a tip: stay safe, don't cause trouble, and behave well in the hearing.

He still had to attend the hearing, which meant that he was still useful and safe for the time being, which really made him feel relieved.

It's really bad luck. In his office, Justin sat on a chair with his legs on the table. He sighed and considered whether he should ask the great priest Wang Lama on the east end of the street to exorcise him, or go to the west side of the street. When Sister Li, the head nun, was trying to change his luck, his follower Jack rushed in in a panic holding a mobile phone.

"Tell him I'm not free." Justin was upset now. "I'm not answering anyone's calls right now."

"But sir..." Jack did not follow Justin's instructions. He was now in a panic, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He covered the phone with one hand to prevent Justin's rude words from being passed in. "This is Daniel .Mr. Whitehall’s phone number.”

Plop, when Justin heard the name, he stood up in a hurry, but the way he was sitting just now was too pretentious, so in a hurry, he fell directly on his back.

He didn't care to cry out in pain, and crawled to Jack's side, grabbed the phone and said flatteringly, "Mr. Whitehall, it's a great honor for me to receive your call."

Daniel Whitehall, perhaps many people have never heard of this name, but those who know him know that he is a man with great hands and eyes. Many high-ranking political officials and military bosses are under the influence of this reclusive man. In front of me, respectfully.

As an agent of the government, if Justin knew about Whitehold, he was not qualified to come forward to talk to him. He only saw from a distance that the powerful senator targeted the sponsor of the Tony hearing. , behaved respectfully like a junior in front of Whitehall, with a humble smile on his face.

From that moment on, Justin decided that it would be better for him to stay far away from this mysterious figure. If he got too close, he didn't know whether he could be flattered, but if he offended him, huh, he would be finished. A matter of words.

But now, this existence that he couldn't afford to offend had called him in person. How could Justin deal with it accidentally?

"Justin, my little friend, how are you doing lately? I heard that you've been a little unlucky lately." Whitehall's voice on the phone was very kind.

"Thank you very much for your concern. My recent life has been pretty good." Justin was flattered by Whitehall's concern, but he also knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to care for no reason. To him, it could only be regarded as a kind of care. Being the little man that he is, he wisely asked, “How can I help you?”

"Hmph, there's no service." Whitehall laughed dryly. He seemed to be very satisfied with Justin's submissiveness. Of course, it was possible that he didn't take it to heart at all. "I have a very strong partner, and they are looking for a new partner." I think you are a good business partner, so I recommended you to them."

"Oh, thank you so much..." Justin is a little confused now. To be able to be made a strong partner by Whitehall, this person or these people are definitely not simple. How could these people think of doing business with him?

Justin can still understand to some extent what kind of person he is. On the surface, he looks like a company boss, but in fact he is just a small role running errands. How can those big people cooperate with him? They just use him. .

"Listen, if you do a good job with this business, I guarantee that you will benefit a lot, and it is not impossible to even overwhelm Tony Stark." Whitehall's words made Justin's heart beat. But Whitehall went on to say, "However, if something goes wrong with you... I'm afraid I can only send people to the river outside the city to fish out your body."

Justin swallowed, and the impulse he had just aroused to agree was immediately extinguished by these flat words.

If he does well, he will make a fortune, but if he doesn't, he will meet the King of Hell. This is basically gambling with his life. He instinctively wants to refuse this kind of thing.Are you kidding me? If you make a wish and say that I can trample Tony Stark under my feet, provided that my underwear is worn outside, I will immediately put on my red panties and fly over to beat Tony up. But if I Risking my life, haha, I'd better go to bed first.

"Sir, I sincerely thank you for your kindness, but you know I've been a bit..." Justin, who didn't want to risk his life, was immediately ready to shirk the matter, but he was interrupted mid-sentence.

"You can't refuse my kindness." Whitehall's words still didn't have much fluctuation in tone, but they sounded cold and meant that they could not be refused.

"Yes sir, thank you for your kindness, I will do it well." Justin couldn't help but shuddered, immediately changed his mind and agreed to the matter, "I promise."

"Remember, Umbrella Company, Security Director Jill Valentine. This person will come to you in the near future. Make this deal a success. You won't regret it." After saying this, Whitehall hung up the phone.

Justin has been feeling very uneasy since he answered the call. It's not that he hasn't checked this so-called umbrella company, but the answers he got were, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

What does this mean?Does this umbrella company even exist?How is it possible that a person of Whitehall's status could be false when he said this matter so solemnly?This can only show that this company is not only powerful but also mysterious.

This made him even more unwilling to agree to this matter. This company is so mysterious, and what he does must not be very visible. When doing business with them, if something goes wrong, they who are in the shadows will definitely immediately He disappeared without a trace, but in the open, he might have become the scapegoat for all his mistakes.

But when he thought of Whitehall's tone of refusal, he did not dare to push the matter away, because if he angered the gentleman, he might not be far from being finished.

So he decided to take it one step at a time. Anyway, he, a small person, didn't have much decision-making power, and he still had a bit of luck. What if he really got this business done?Maybe it's just like Whitehall said, he will become famous immediately and can trample Tony under his feet.

Now, after half a month of waiting with tangled emotions, those people finally arrived.Justin immediately took Jack to meet the representative of the Umbrella Company, security director Jill Valentine.

At this time, Sarah, pretending to be Jill Valentine, had been placed in the VIP room.After Justin pushed the door open and walked in, he found that the situation in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined, except that the other party was a woman. There were no bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses, no secretary in charge of records, just a woman with her back to her home. behind the desk.

This woman was wearing a purple windbreaker, with her blond hair tied into a ponytail. When she turned around, Justin discovered that under the windbreaker, she was wearing a purple tights with smooth material and a pair of black shoes on her feet. leather boots.

Her face was also different from the coquettishness of ordinary women, with very strong lines, and in her eyes, Justin interpreted two meanings, indifference and arrogance.

"Justin Hammer?" Sarah asked in confirmation. "I think Whitehall has introduced me to you."

"Yes, Ms. Valentine." Justin noticed that the other party did not add Mr. when calling Whitehall. It can be seen that the other party does not need to respect Whitehall so much, and the one who gives her the confidence can only It is super strength.

"Nice to meet you, dear madam, please allow me to introduce Hammer Industries first." Looking at the other party's posture, Justin's words were very respectful. He wanted to introduce his company's situation as usual. To facilitate further cooperation.

"No need, we know everything about you." Sarah interrupted Justin very coldly.

But this did not arouse Justin's dissatisfaction. He is like this, or a large part of him is like this. People who are better than him at work will feel very unconvinced and find any reason to prove that the other person is not better than him. They just have better luck.

But if the other party is much stronger than themselves, like a mountain standing tall, they will feel that whatever the other party does is the right thing to do, and they will come up with many reasons on their own to prove that the other party is doing the right thing.

"I heard that the Ministry of National Defense is forcing you to come up with products that are equivalent to Iron Man, and you yourself want Tony Stark?" Without any unnecessary nonsense, Sarah went directly to the topic, "Our Umbrella Company can help you. Do it all.”

"Thank you so much, but to be honest..." Justin organized his words and said, "I got a talent, and I already have a bit of an eye on this matter, so..."

In fact, Justin is still a little resistant to this so-called business, because no matter how you look at it, it is like a little sheep and a lion doing business. There will be no fairness at all. The other party is just borrowing chickens to lay eggs. That's all, and he has gained some hope recently, so he doesn't want to do anything too risky anymore.

"Ivan Vanko?" Sarah asked.

"Uh, not bad." Justin struggled and finally admitted. Since the other party said the name so accurately, it must be just as she said, they know everything about themselves.

"I'm afraid he can't." Sarah said disdainfully, "I admit that he is a good scientist, and it is possible that he can design an armor comparable to Iron Man, but what's the use of it?"

"You are following Tony's ideas. Even if you make a great armor, the world will only think that you are plagiarizing. You will never get out of Tony's shadow for the rest of your life. You may have to pay him patent fees."

Justin thought about it, and it seemed that what the other party said made sense. Creating the steel suit would indeed satisfy the Ministry of Defense, but would this prove that he had defeated Tony?Everyone knows that Edison invented the light bulb, but who remembers the person who improved and produced it?

"What does your company mean?" Justin asked.

"We can give you weapons in completely different fields. And we guarantee that the Ministry of National Defense will be very interested in it." Sarah said with certainty.

"What is it?" Justin asked.Hearing the other party's words be so certain, he couldn't help but become interested.

"biochemical weapon."
