Marvel reverses Wolverine

Chapter 248 Cosmic Storm

Ben Graham tugged at Reid's tie and fiddled with his wrinkled collar with his big, thick hands.

After tossing and tossing for a while, Ben finally gave up the idea of ​​making the old suit look a bit more stretched, and slapped Reed on the shoulder, which made the latter stagger two steps.

After a long time, the two finally took the elevator to the Howlett Group Technology Project Department on the seventh floor of No.80. After a while, when the door of the conference room opened, Reed Richards saw a familiar and Another very unexpected person.

"Victor? Victor von Doom!" Reed exclaimed in surprise.

The ceiling of the Science and Technology Department was very high. Wearing an elegant black hand-made slim suit, Victor Dum walked steadily down the spiral staircase, and came to Reed and his chin with a slight shake of his jaw.

"Hahaha, my genius old classmate! You don't look like this suit is a bit old. I will introduce you to a top tailor. It is said that his teacher's family has been Mr. Howlett for several generations. Served. Hi Ben, nice haircut."

Reed uncomfortably pressed the wrinkled hem of his suit, seeing his old classmate's tall and handsome appearance like a powerful plutocrat, and his loose and bulky coat became more and more inappropriate.

"Why are you here?"

Ben hugged his strong arms and whispered, and didn't bother to pay attention to the teasing and teasing of the other party. He and Doom didn't deal with each other in college. He bit his cheek and frowned, and even his shiny bald head wrinkled.

"so surprised?"

Victor Dum opened the wine cabinet familiarly, took out three gentlemanly crystal glasses, poured a little whiskey in each, sat on the dark golden conference table and continued leisurely:
"Accidentally, I'm in the Howlett Group, or is it just a coincidence that we met? Hehehe... Try this wine, it's a good thing that you may not be able to buy outside."

Dum waved his hand generously and invited the two of them to sit down, sipping the sweet yellow-brown liquid on their own, and grinning freely while leaning on the high-back chair.

"Both, and both, Victor. Your character was so impressive in school, but it never seemed like a character who could be subordinated to others."

Unlike Ben who was next to him, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then poured more than half of the glass by himself.

Reed Richards's narrow cheeks slightly retracted his chin, his slender fingers turned the cup a little bit, and he spoke slowly.

Seeing Reed shaking his head slightly with a look of incomprehension and even disappointment, Dum smiled carelessly, showing a mouthful of perfect white teeth and said loudly:
"You're right, Reid, if it wasn't for the huge giant Howlett Group that is pressing on top of the super consortiums in the United States and even the world, with my temper and ability...Of course! I will definitely shape it with my own hands. Build a business empire! But—"

Dum stood up, walked to Reed and sat on the table, put his hands on his shoulders and approached his face, his voice became a lot more serious.

"——There is an old saying in the East, 'He who knows the current affairs is a brilliant man', Reed, I suggest you learn Chinese, the English translation is always less flavorful, and you can learn more about Eastern culture in the group. smoother...

"You may not know what the identity of the director of the science and technology project department of the Howlett Group means outside. Frankly speaking, no matter how confident I am, hehe. The veteran tycoon put on a face, okay, let’s talk about your research project, it’s time to get down to business.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Dum seemed to have changed his face. He strode back to sit upright, his eyes staring at Reed Richards shrewdly and cautiously, and the warm and funny look just now was swept away.

"Well... That's it, I gave it to you before, cough, of course I didn't know that you would receive the experimental plan...' Cosmic storm, of course there are also super-strong cosmic ray energy clusters with names such as solar wind, which are billions of A once-in-a-year approach to outer space not far from the earth!"

When he mentioned his own research project, Reed became eloquent again and finally regained some of the demeanor of a super technological genius. He continued confidently:

“…I know that many institutions and organizations are trying to seize this opportunity, right’ Yu
Cosmic storm, to conduct research, but only the special isolation cabin and energy analysis device designed by me can enter the center of the storm group, analyze in depth and obtain the most intuitive research materials! "

"Through this energy storm, we can see and discover more properties of high-energy particles, as well as various influences on human genes, and we can—"

"—Can decipher the secrets of human genetic inheritance! Further improve the research on the X gene, solve more genetic diseases that cannot be treated, and benefit... all mankind?"

Doom suddenly took over the conversation, interrupting the climax of Reid's impassioned speech, and finished the conclusion with the already known statement.

"Yes... yes, that's it."

Reed and Ben looked at each other, and the two silently looked at Victor Doom with his face drooping, waiting somewhat anxiously for the "golden master" to speak.

"All relevant research results and subsequent technology development, 80.00% ownership and income, and shall not disclose any technical information about the research project to third parties."

call!
"Damn it! Why don't you grab it!"

The crystal cup fell heavily on the conference table, and Ben Graham's bull's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and his bulging chest seemed to be about to spit out a series of "beautiful" words and sentences.

Dum raised his eyebrows and glanced at it. He waved the gold cufflinks on his wrist a few times indifferently, and his expression became calmer.

"Ben, if you still have this temper, I will consider whether to add you to the research team...Listen to Reed! You only have a design drawing of the research chamber and related technical ideas that have not been verified by experiments, and the cosmic storm is not yet ready." How soon? Ten months or eight months?"

"Six months and sixteen days"

Reed crossed his fingers and twisted unconsciously, speaking in a very soft voice.

"Hey! Half a year, Reed, you need to manufacture or transform a complete space station against cosmic storms within half a year, be able to send it to space smoothly and intact, capture and study storm energy, and continue to invest a lot of resources Carry out the breakthrough and development of follow-up scientific research difficulties.”

Dum tapped on the table, like a signal to the croupier and the player when playing cards, and finally said beyond doubt:

"The resources needed for this plan are no longer measurable in terms of money. Except for the strength of the Howlett Group, even the US government dare not make a decision to start such a project at will. The 20.00% revenue share will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Unit calculation! With this money, you can open up to do research you like in the future and get another 5.00%, this is my greatest authority, old classmate."

After a while, Reed Richards stood up slowly, looked at Victor Doom who was approaching, and finally stretched out his right hand.

"You should make a counter-offer... Dum was like a boy who disobeyed everyone back then, hehe, he was still a wage earner in the end!"

After coming out of the conference hall, Ben has been rambling non-stop, and it is more trash talking about Victor Doom.

One of them bowed their heads and walked in front without saying a word, while the other danced and talked about the scandal about Doom when they were in college.

They didn't even notice a sweet-looking blond beauty who was wearing a lady's suit but couldn't hide her figure, standing pretty by the corridor, staring at Reed without blinking.

"Ben, Reed!"

Finally, Susan Stone took the initiative to call out to the two of them, crossed her arms and gave Reed a sneaky look.

"Hey! Su... Well, what are you doing, no, what are you doing here... Long time no see..."

Ben on the side couldn't help closing his eyes and pinching the bridge of his nose. After saying hello to Susan, he completely didn't want to talk to this disappointing friend.

"I'm in charge of the project review and follow-up research of the Group's Science and Technology Department. In the future, I should go to the observation cabin in outer space with you to participate in the cosmic storm. It's planned. By the way, my brother Johnny will also take part in the mission of leaving the cabin."

Susan, with her blond hair coiled up, spoke generously, not facing the embarrassment of her ex-boyfriend at all, and raised her hand sideways, signaling to send the two of them out of the building together.

"Are you... Howlet Group has been preparing this plan for a long time? And you are, um... when did you come to work here..."

"The group has been eyeing you since you were looking for investment everywhere. If it weren't for some hidden major projects recently, a large number of scientists, engineers and researchers in the group have been withdrawn. It is very likely that even Mr. McCoy will personally participate in this plan. .”

Susan suddenly stopped in her footsteps, her deer-like agile eyes revealed a bit of sharpness, and her words were a bit stiff when she stared at Reed.

"I joined the Howlett Group less than a month after I ended with you, thank you Mr. Richards for your concern!"

Reed pursed his lips, followed Susan down to the lobby on the first floor, and stood there stupidly, not knowing what to say. Finally, Susan sighed and said softly with a hint of reminder:

"I know that the conditions for negotiating with Dum must be very harsh. It is not without reason that he has climbed so fast in the group in just a few years, but if he is a scientist within the group, the treatment and terms will be much better. Personal research The result is also very well guaranteed...you can try adding—"

"No, even if the Howlett Group unconditionally invites me to join, I will definitely not agree! Su, you should see more than me working here. Remember in school, when the professors mentioned that nearly a century Did you seem to be vague about the surname Howlett during the leap forward in the social structure of China?"

Reed poked his neck, and with an air of righteous indignation coming from nowhere, he finally said solemnly:

"...they are scared!"

Miss Susan Stone glanced sideways at Ben, then at Reed, and brushed her hair around her ear, just smiled.

"Well, you're still the same... Gather here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the experimental base to start working, gentlemen, it's only six months, and our time is very tight."

Watching Susan walking back to the building with the folder in her arms, Ben Graham slapped Reed on the shoulder again, which made Reed grin his teeth uncontrollably.

"Hmph, what did I say wrong? Who knows that Mr. Howlett, who is said to have lived for hundreds of years, is doing some dark business behind the scenes every day..."

"Okay! He'll chop off all the disobedient heads, drink blood, howl at the full moon, and drink tea with the devil! Howlett lives like this every day, you are satisfied!"

With his mouth pursed and his face full of grievances, Reed bent his neck and hurriedly followed behind the burly and strong himself, walking through the bustling crowd on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, and quickly disappeared.

The young Reed Richards actually didn't know what kind of person the legendary Mr. Howlett was. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to get Ben to drive to pick him up tomorrow morning...

And at this moment, thousands of miles away, in the Edmond region of Canada, in the old castle of the Howlett family.

James Howlett raised his arms and rolled up his cuffs in a serious manner, raised his eyebrows and taught Eric a lesson:
"How could Wanda and Pietro be disobedient? Do you, a father, know how to communicate with children!"

James put his hands behind his back and walked upstairs with an unhappy face, followed by Lord "Magneto" who opened his mouth several times and swallowed back his defense.

Regardless of being admired and feared by thousands of people in the outside world, or being carefully accompanied by the heads of state of various countries, as long as they return to this house, the Howlett family will have nothing bigger than their parents' disputes.

A gust of wind blew across, blowing James' half-length black hair.

He grinned, feeling the strange wind blowing between the building and the corridor from time to time, as well as the silver-blue trails that only he could vaguely capture.

A handful of oxtail flowers appeared out of nowhere in Eric's hand, he hurriedly touched whether there was something missing or too much on his body, and shouted at James as if complaining:

"Look, Dad! This kid dares to tease his dad at a young age. What if he can run farther in the future! I can feel the headache that Raven had when he took little Kurt..."

"What are you shouting about? Didn't you see that Pietro picked a bouquet of flowers for you? Waiting!"

James stood loosely at the entrance of the third floor, with his eyes slightly closed and his hands hanging by his sides. After a long while, suddenly there was no warning.
The ground explorer grabbed it to the side!
With the strange strong wind blowing the ends of his hair, he lifted a little guy with silver hair out of thin air in his hand.

He was wearing a sky-blue sweater with bulging cheeks, his feet and hands were blurred, and he was looking ahead intently, as if he was still running.

"Huh, huh? Uh...hehe, grandpa~"

Pietro Lanciel was held up in the air by the back of the neck, finally came to his senses and tilted his head, slowly slowing down, hanging down a pair of short hands and short legs, with flushed cheeks making a cute appearance.Holding the little guy close to his eyes, James looked at Pietro's big blue-gray eyes like he was catching a kitten~, and scratched his crunchy nest with his hand, which caused a series of giggles like little hens.

"Hehe, I'm running faster and faster, tell me, where did you hide my sister...?"
