79 The Winter Soldier
Although there is only one product that I can give now.

Performance is not particularly outstanding, thriving kind of.

But that's enough to prove something.

The Osborne Group has a lot of money and has raised so many scientific researchers to come up with these products.

Roger now has only one Dr. Connors who was kidnapped back, and the only serious business on the surface is Hand Co., Ltd.

It would be abnormal if he could come up with a product that completely crushed the Osborne Group now.

Although it was the first meeting, Roger was sure that General Ross must have investigated him in advance.

He had already confirmed this during the conversation just now.

General Ross knew much more about him than the news reports said.

Moreover, General Ross didn't seem to have any intention of hiding this point, and he gave several hints both openly and secretly.

"Let's send the samples of these products to have a look first."

General Ross pointed to the list of products given by Norman Osborn.

Then he picked up the serum instructions Roger had provided.

Unlike browsing the products of the Osborne Group just now, General Ross glanced at the information in his hand and quickly made a decision.

In fact, there is nothing to look at, just some serum effect data and descriptions.

"I have accepted these serum samples. If there is no accident, I will reply to you within a week."

After speaking, General Ross picked up the wine glass on the table and gestured to Roger.

After finishing the business, the topic soon entered the so-called men's home court.

I don't know what's going on, but when talking about these adult topics, both General Ross and Norman Osborn mentioned their children intentionally or unintentionally.

Looking at General Ross and Norman Osborn, who were modest on the surface but were actually showing off, Roger smiled helplessly.

One second it was a topic that all men understand, and the next second it's time to show off your sons and daughters.

Roger had to admit that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the two of them.

For a moment, the reception room was filled with cheerful air.

When they left the smoky reception room, Roger, who returned to the banquet hall, saw his assistant Sharon Carter at a glance.

Meanwhile, Sharon Carter pretended to see him inadvertently.

"Who is this?"

After coming to Sharon Carter, Roger asked with a smile.

Sharon Carter stood next to a tall blonde beauty.

Wearing a close-fitting red dress, she unscrupulously showed her professionalism.

The slightly curly light blonde long hair seems to be loosely scattered, making the exposed shoulder curves more attractive.

"She's Linney, a former colleague of mine." Sharon Carter introduced it naturally.

colleague?

After hearing this word, Roger immediately became vigilant.

He has already confirmed that his assistant is an agent of SHIELD, so this woman named Linni should also be an agent of SHIELD.

As expected of S.H.I.E.L.D., the agents have already lurked around the target, and they still don’t forget to continue to help the agents improve their character design.

What is a professional?
This is professional!
Roger thought that Linney was just a tool sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to perfect Sharon Carter.

But he would never have imagined that this Linnie was the right-hand man of Mockingbird Barbara Morse, the Mockingbird.

Sharon Carter has been lurking beside Roger for a while, but she hasn't gained any valuable information.

In order to complete the task as soon as possible, Barbara Moores decided to play in person to cooperate with Sharon Carter.

After analyzing Roger's recent public whereabouts, Barbara Moores believed that she had grasped the key information to complete any.

So, on such an occasion, she appeared in an image that perfectly suited Roger's aesthetic taste.

Under the deliberate guidance and cooperation of Sharon Carter and Barbara Morse, the topic of chat began to develop into some unhealthy topics.

Roger is maintaining a look of interest on the surface, but in fact, his heart is as calm as an old monk who has been a monk for many years.

Play, keep playing!
I'd love to see what you guys can do!
Time passed little by little, the night was getting darker and darker, and the dinner party was gradually coming to an end.

After talking, Roger has roughly figured out the plans of Sharon Carter and the two of them.

Beauty plan!
They seemed to be planning to use a beauty trick on him.

It turns out, however, that he's on level one and S.H.I.E.L.D. is on level five.

Just when he thought he was going to have a good night, Barbara Morse left suddenly. Under his watchful eyes, she left the villa with a man with a big belly.

That, stop thinking about it?

I fell for it so easily!
Really, I'm weak-willed!
"Let's go, let's go back too!"

When Barbara in a close-fitting red dress completely disappeared from sight, Roger said to Sharon Carter beside him.

Just when he and Sharon Carter were about to leave the villa, a male waiter in the hall suddenly came to him.

"Mr. Wayne, please stay, Mr. Osborne hopes you can go to the study."

Glancing at the male waiter in front of him, Roger frowned slightly.

Norman Osborn invited him to meet in his study?
On the surface, there was nothing wrong with this invitation from Norman Osborn.

But Roger instinctively sensed something was wrong.

If Norman Osborn really had something to ask him, he had a lot of opportunities when he was in the reception room just now.

Even after leaving the reception room, he still has many opportunities, so there is no need to look for him when the dinner is over.

unless……

"You go to the car and wait for me!"

Roger gave instructions to Sharon Carter, and then followed the waiter to the study.

When he got to the study, he saw not only Norman Osborn, but a complete stranger, and a not so strange man.

Messy hair, metal left arm, and the whole body exudes the aura that strangers should not enter.

Bucky the Winter Soldier!

Roger would never have imagined that he would actually see Bucky the Winter Soldier in Osborn's study.

Bucky the Winter Soldier stood behind the sofa like a guard, so it was not difficult to guess the identity of the big fat man on the sofa.

Hydra!
The only ones who can use Bucky the Winter Soldier as a bodyguard are Hydra.

"Wayne, you are here, let me introduce you, this is Senator Stern."

Norman Osborn came to Roger with a glass of whiskey just poured, and said with a smile.

"Of course, it is not the senator who is meeting with you today, but Mr. Stern of Hydra."

Is it so direct?

Roger froze for a moment, and his expression, in the eyes of Norman Osborn and Senator Stern, happened to be his normal reaction after hearing Hydra.

"With the military on one side and Hydra on the other, it's no wonder that the Osborne Group can stand up all year round!"

　PS: The apprentice is going to take the test for subject three tomorrow, and he will go to the test room to practice driving this afternoon...

　　If you count the driving time and round-trip time, today should not be enough time to complete the three chapters, so there should only be two updates today...
