Sentinel

Chapter 81 The Return
Umbrella Laboratories.

Dr. Conners walked into Sean's office with this morning's newspaper in his hands. The owner of this laboratory stood in front of the bright window, overlooking his private kingdom.

"Doctor, your complexion is very ugly. I heard from Dr. Helen Zhao that the research on cross-species inheritance is progressing smoothly and is only one step away from success."

Sean turned his head to look at Connors. The one-armed middle-aged man had worries and anxiety in his eyes, so that he forgot to knock on the door and broke into his office directly.

"Or did Umbrella encounter some kind of problem that gave you such a headache?" He asked softly with a gentle smile.

"Sean, Metis Pharma has not opened up the situation...Many public hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers are unwilling to reach a cooperation with Osborn, and two-thirds of the original pre-orders have been refunded and canceled..."

Connors hesitated for a moment, and handed the latest newspaper to Sean. The headlines on it were Senator Kelly, who has been in the limelight recently, criticizing and opposing views on genetic medicine. The method is unpredictable and harmful, and may even lead to some unpredictable mutation risks in the human body.

At the same time, the following forum also published the unanimous statement of many biologists. They believe that gene medicine is not yet mature enough to completely cure the disease, and it is often accompanied by unknown side effects, which need to be used after careful consideration.

The wind direction of public opinion has changed suddenly. Sean, who was praised by people a few days ago, is now in the vague risk of falling from the clouds. The son pushed Osborne Industries and Umbrella to the cusp. The venture capital institution that was very optimistic about the prospects of Metis Pharmaceuticals immediately changed its rhetoric and maintained a vague position and attitude.

"Watsonton made a move." Sean casually threw the newspaper on the table and said nonchalantly.

As a leader in the medical industry, Watsonton will not sit back and watch Osborne and Umbrella grow slowly and become a strong opponent that cannot be ignored.This giant enterprise with deep foundation and huge influence will definitely unite forces in the industry to drive out these two competitors who rashly broke into the private territory.

Manipulating public opinion and making malicious criticisms are just the first step in the temptation, and various methods will follow until they beat Osborne and Umbrella to their knees begging for mercy and give up the most generous piece of cake.

"Doctor, you don't need to worry too much. Although Umbrella is still a sapling, and Watsonton is a towering tree, we are full of vitality." Sean walked up to the worried Connors, gently Patting the other party on the shoulder, "If you want to occupy a place in an industry and have a certain right to speak, you can't just rely on scientific research results. Sometimes, we have to use some reasonable means."

Connors blinked his eyes and looked at the calm-faced Sean. This young man always had a gentle smile on his face, and there was a palpitating coldness in his tone.

The one-armed middle-aged man quickly lowered his head, and then said, "What about Harry? He must have received these...unhappy news."

"Harry is not a child. He needs to be coaxed all the time. Why people fall is because we have to learn to get up. Watsonton's suppression is only temporary. The nature of businessmen is to pursue profits, and they will soon find out , who can bring more substantial benefits.”

Sean looked at the high-spirited Senator Kelly in the newspaper, and said meaningfully: "As for this senator who upholds justice, he should pray to God for blessing, and hope that mutants will not come to his door."

Seeing Dr. Conners leave the office with mixed emotions, Sean's face gradually turned cold. It seemed that it was necessary to get in touch with the group of mutants who were hiding.

…………

A military transport plane passed through the white clouds and landed on the tarmac with the sound of howling wind. Pepper Potts stepped out of the black car and looked up at the behemoth slowly gliding at the airport.

Tony Stark, who has been missing for nearly three months, finally returned to New York safely, which finally let Pepper let go of the boulder in her heart. Her wayward boss did not die on the front line of conflict in Afghanistan. , as if being favored by the goddess of luck, successfully escaped from a group of vicious terrorists.

When the news spread back to New York, some people were happy and some were sad. For example, the chief executive of Stark Industries did not rush to the airport immediately to welcome Tony, who survived the catastrophe, on the grounds that he was unwell.

The hatch of the transport plane opened slowly. Tony, who was wearing a suit jacket and one hand was bandaged, stood up from the wheelchair, and with the support of Colonel Rhodes, he walked slowly towards Pepper.

With a slightly haggard face, bandaged arms, and a few small wounds, Pepper, who was full of expectations, almost didn't recognize it. This was the Tony Stark who paid attention to his appearance and liked to show off his charm.

"The eye circles are red, feeling sad for your missing boss?" Tony, who got off the transport plane, still did not change his previous style, joking with the female secretary.

"I'm just glad I didn't have to look for another job," Pepper retorted with a smile, and this was the Stark she knew.

"Your vacation is over here." Tony restrained his smile, and everything he experienced in that cave in Afghanistan made him gradually mature.

The young soldiers who died on the battlefield, and Ethan who sacrificed to buy time, these people made Stark's indifferent heart slowly melt like ice.In his former world, there were only cold mechanical instruments and beautiful women. Tony, who thought he had everything in the world, didn't care about others at all.

If you want to win Tony's attention, unless you have a genius brain or a devil figure that makes men's hormones soar, otherwise this playboy and genius will let you feel his vicious tongue, and what ordinary people don't have. Arrogant.

"Where are you going, sir?" asked Happy, the bodyguard.

"Please take us to the hospital." Pepper was very worried about Tony's physical condition and wanted him to have a full body examination first.

"No, I don't want to go to the hospital now and let various instruments examine my body." Tony refused without thinking, and he interrupted Pepper's persuasion: "I have been locked up for three months, and now I just want to Do two things, eat a cheeseburger, and—”

"Are you in such a hurry?" The female secretary, whose train of thought was obviously distracted, turned her head with a disgusted expression on her face.

"...It's not what you think, I just want to hold a press conference." Tony explained rather speechlessly.

Could it be that in the heart of his secretary, he is a lustful playboy?

Tony thought for a moment, recalling the absurd past experiences, and finally had to admit that maybe most people had the impression of him like that.

And he still can't refute...

Tony shook his head, throwing the inexplicable thoughts out of his mind, starting today, everyone will see a brand new Stark.

　ps: I recommend a new work by the big guy, "The Dark Godfather of Gotham", no cheats, no system, the protagonist dominates Gotham in black and white, and sits on the throne of Godfather~
