Sentinel

Chapter 132 Collecting Games
Returning to normal working life, the first thing Sean has to face is a mountain of documents and various postponed meetings.In Umbrella's laboratory, Dr. Connors, who is also a manager like him, is a pure scientist, devoting himself to research and experiments, and can't help much except for academic issues.

With the development of the laboratory and the deepening of cooperation with Osborne Industries and Stark Industries, more and more tedious affairs almost surrounded Sean. Even with the assistance of Skynet, he still had to Takes up a lot of time and energy.For this reason, he did seriously consider Harry's previous suggestion, whether to find himself a secretary or assistant to share part of the pressure.

It's just that this position is too important to just arrange for someone to sit there. If it wasn't for Gwen's ambition, Sean would definitely like the blonde girl who has a carefree personality but works hard and earnestly.

The young man buried himself in all kinds of documents, thinking that the foundation is too shallow, there are not enough manpower, and there is also a lack of trustworthy capable men. Magneto's brotherhood cannot be used for his own use for the time being, and he will have to wait for a while Time, as for the professor's well-behaved students, they will definitely not be willing to follow him as thugs.

At present, the only ones he can take are the Hand controlled by Erica and Wesley from Hell's Kitchen, but as his status rises, the level of opponents Sean faces is also rising. The young man has already passed through that period of bloody and cruel primitive accumulation, and the gangsters and yakuza organizations can no longer keep up with his rhythm.

Sean, who finished his work efficiently, fiddled with the pen in his hand, comforting himself that the road to success is always bumpy and long, and opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

At least he has tied many people to his chariot. If the next stage of the plan is successfully implemented, then maybe Umbrella can extend his tentacles to the military industry.After Stark Industries, the former leader, withdrew from this field, Hammer Industries, which had been suppressed to death, took advantage of the situation and acquired the weapons manufacturing factory packaged and sold by its old rivals, preparing to undertake orders from the Ministry of Defense in order to win huge profits. Benefit.

It's just that Justin Hammer, who is in charge of the company, doesn't have a genius brain, and the business level of Hammer Industry is really unsightly. Researchers, this is the only way to gain a firm foothold in the field of military industry.

"Monaco..." Sean couldn't help but smile when recalling Tony's previous statement that he was going to participate in the Formula Racing club, "He should thank me."

Presumably this time, Tony will not meet his old opponent "Sangbian", the big Russian man full of tattoos, who almost pushed the mighty Iron Man into a corner.

In the original timeline, Ivan Vanke from Russia launched revenge on Tony because of family grievances. In the Formula Competition in Monaco, he beat Iron Man into a mess with his own plasma whip, and was later killed by Justin- Hammer was rescued by crossing the sea and became the weapon designer of Hammer Industries, which was used to copy Iron Man's armor.

Ivan, who was born in Russia, did not receive a good education and training. Under the harsh living conditions, the other party still relied on his own talents to copy Tony's Ark reactor and transform it into a powerful plasma whip. The strength against Tony's steel armor shows how outstanding his talent is.

Sean just needs this kind of talent. He is keen to win over villains who were originally depressed or went astray due to their own experiences. It's like playing a card game. Compared with the victors and heroes in the original plot, he is more Appreciate villains who are ambitious and risk-taking, who are somehow more executive and profit-driven than superheroes.

Glancing at the time on the watch, Sean thought that the father and son who had a deep hatred with the Stark family should have arrived in New York at this time. Half a month ago, he sent someone to Russia to search for the whereabouts of the two.

…………

Two hours later, Sean sat in his office and greeted the visitor.

Gwen acted as the secretary and led Vanke and his son into Umbrella. The pale and skinny old man was sitting in a wheelchair with a thick blanket on his knees. Behind him was an unruly and strong man. A strong Russian brown bear with wild and sharp eyes.

"Welcome to Umbrella." Sean smiled lightly, holding the old man's hand in a gentle manner, "I've heard of your name, General Ross called you and Howard Stark two rare A man of genius."

Hearing the name of the enemy, the frail old man grabbed Sean's arm. He used to be a physicist in the former Soviet Union. He defected to the United States in 1963 and met Howard Stark, who had established a military-industrial empire at that time. , they are committed to developing more efficient energy sources for the manufacture of powerful new weapons.

But four years later, Anton Vanke was accused of being a spy and was forcibly deported. When he returned to Russia, he lost everything, regardless of scientific research achievements or reputation.After the disintegration and collapse of the great red empire, the regime change was turbulent. This genius physicist lived a life of poverty, especially the experience of working for the US government, which made it almost impossible for him to move.

"I never thought that one day I would be able to set foot on this land again." The trembling voice of the old man contained much resentment and resentment.

Originally, he was supposed to share the honor and wealth with Howard Stark, and Stark Industries, which occupies the top of the military industry, should also have his own half, but the result was that he was deprived of everything, and returned home like a bereaved dog. Russia, spent his life in poverty.

"I know your story. There are always many injustices in the world, and fate has never favored those who are truly talented." Sean said with a spring breeze, "I also came from nothing to today, so I can understand Your pain, Dr. Wanke, a brand new future will be waiting for you in front of you."

The young man let go of the old man's hand, and the aging and skinny Anton Vanke and Tony's father completed the prototype of the Ark reactor, but it was impossible to realize it due to the materials at that time. As a qualified capitalist, Howard naturally saw the potential of this invention. So he used the relationship at hand to kick Anton out of the game, who had a problem with his identity.

"Thank you, Mr. Sippers!" The old man said gratefully. He pulled his son aside and introduced: "This is my son, Ivan! He has a higher talent than me in invention and creation, although There have been disgraceful experiences, but I promise God, Ivan will never get you into trouble!"

The big Russian man, as strong as a bear, squatted down halfway. He was like a docile lamb in front of the skinny old man, trying his best to restrain his unbridled and dangerous aura.

"I have read about Ivan's past. He resold weapon-grade plutonium to Pakistan during the Soviet era and was sentenced to 15 years in Kopeysk Prison...but these are not important. What young man can't make mistakes? I'm still a When I was a high school student, I would often do some risky things to prove my manly courage—everyone has such childish experiences.”

Sean looked at the muscular Ivan Vanke. This strong man with the title of "Sangbian" in the future is the talent he really likes, and he will use it to win the favor and orders of the military.

After chatting with the elderly Anton Vanke for a while, Gwen pushed the old man back to the lounge. The long-distance travel and his own weak body made the other party look like a candle in the wind, which would go out at any time.

There were only two people left in the office. Ivan no longer concealed his ferocious arrogance. He looked directly at the young man, as if he was looking at prey: "I am not the kind of person who can be deceived and bribed. Take a few dollars Then I can exchange my father's life's hard work, it's too simple to think."

"At least I can restore your family's honor and have a chance to defeat Stark in a dignified manner." Sean didn't care about the rudeness of the big Russian man.

He stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I've always believed in fair trade and a win-win situation for both parties."

Ivan, with a rough face, was dubious. If the other party wasn't someone with ulterior motives, he wouldn't mind sending him sincere gratitude.

With two hands clasped together, the big Russian man with tattoos all over his body, who looked like a gang leader, frowned. He felt that he was facing a towering giant mountain, exuding an extremely oppressive and powerful aura.

"I wish us a happy cooperation." The young man let go of his hand, with a gentle smile on his face.
