Sentinel

Chapter 89 Invasion
The afterglow of the setting sun falls on Midtown Manhattan. The traffic flows in the streets extending in all directions like a long dragon, and the crowded crowds are as small as an ant colony. If you are lucky enough to stop on the east-west streets, you can enjoy the famous "hanging sun"—— ——The rare beauty of the sun hanging on the tall buildings on both sides at sunset.

Marcus stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. The Watsonton Building looked like a steel giant standing between the sky and the earth, and he was the helm at the top, overlooking all living beings in the world.

Recently, the owner of the group, who controls huge wealth and hidden power, has a headache.As a monopoly giant in the medical industry, Watsonton's situation is also not good. A hidden opponent has dealt a fatal blow to this monopoly giant. Those laboratories that are scattered on the Internet and spread at a rapid speed The information has become conclusive evidence of Watsonton secretly conducting illegal human experiments.

Due to the continuous fermentation of public opinion and the fueling of human rights organizations, Watsonton Company was suddenly pushed to the forefront and faced an embarrassing situation. It cannot be directly denied. After all, various graphic materials have been circulated. Block the news, but if you admit it, you will immediately accept legal sanctions, as well as verbal criticism from everyone.

After the official intervention of the judiciary, Marcus had no choice but to abandon the car to protect the handsome man, hand over the research director and some other insignificant people in the laboratory, claiming that Watsonton had nothing to do with these human experiments and illegal detention. As far as we know, everything is done privately by the director of scientific research who is hostile to mutants—whether the citizens believe this reason or not, at least the judicial officers who conduct the investigation believe it.

In this way, a huge crisis that was enough to defeat Watsonton was resolved and eliminated under Marcus' operation.Although he paid a lot of money, contacted various forces, and promised lucrative benefits, no matter what, the big ship Watsonton survived the turbulent waves.

"Who is behind the scenes?" Marcus's eyes were dark, like an enraged hungry wolf, revealing a palpitating murderous light.

He mobilized his forces to track it down, but the other party's hands and feet were clean, leaving no traces that could be traced. Even if the hacker team tracked down the anonymous information on the Internet, they got nothing, just like a non-existent ghost hovering over Watsonton's head. wandering.

This allowed Marcus to dispel his doubts about Osborne Industry and Umbrella, those two immature little guys were far from reaching this level.

Looking at the crowd downstairs holding various signs and loudly protesting, Marcus couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile. A person who is as small as an ant wants to make his own voice. Who cares about the accusations and criticisms of the humble?
When the limelight passes, everyone will naturally forget about the Watsonton scandal. At that time, they will initiate several free donations to public hospitals, or donate a sum of funds and equipment to nursing homes or disease monitoring centers for free. At that time, Everyone will praise Watsonton for his good deeds.

As for the bloody crimes he committed, it was just the stupid behavior of a research director who was blinded by greed and hatred, and had nothing to do with Watsonton Corporation.

The only pity is that they can only suspend the plan to suppress Osborne Industries and Umbrella, and just sit back and watch them slowly occupy the market and start to grow.

Marcus couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. He had prepared a series of thunderous means, but unfortunately, Senator Kelly became a mutant for some reason, and the data inside the laboratory was also stolen and circulated. On the Internet, it caused a frenzy of public opinion. The two incidents happened so coincidentally that it almost seemed like a script that had been designed long ago.

"As long as the giant Watsonton does not fall, no matter how hard Osborne and Umbrella struggle, they will not be able to escape being eaten away by the top predators in the industry!"

Through the glass window, he vaguely saw the huge billboard, streaming the industry news of Osborne Industries and Umbrella, the pretentious black-haired young man appeared in it, with a gentle and friendly smile on Marcus It seems that it is both hypocritical and disgusting, and it is even more disgusting than Tony Stark's proud and arrogant face.

"I don't believe that you can always be so proud. This time it was just luck. I bumped into someone targeting Watsonton. It won't be long before I mobilize resources and directly crush you and your shabby laboratory!"

Marcus said angrily that he seemed to have been unlucky since he set his sights on this emerging scientific research institution. He originally joined with Senator Kelly to take down Osborne Industries in one fell swoop, but at this time, the other party was exposed The identity and status of mutants have plummeted, and various conspiracy theories are rampant.On Stryker's side, after finally getting the genetic data of the mutants, the experimental data was stolen, and Watsonton was almost devastated because of it.

It was as if there was some kind of providence in the dark, making Marcus wonder if that young boy was Lady Luck's concubine, otherwise how could he suffer a heavy blow every time he wanted to act.

"Chairman, Colonel William Stryker's call..." The secretary stood outside and knocked on the door.

Thinking of the upcoming complaints and questions, Marcus felt a bit of a headache. In order to divert his attention, he pushed the research director to be a scapegoat. At the same time, the judicial department confiscated and took away several mutants from Stryker. Human living bodies, as well as data from some anatomical studies.Obviously, the colonel's call at this time is obviously for the purpose of provoking the teacher.

After hesitating for a moment, the old man in charge of Watsonton still answered the phone. It is not a good time to break the face with Stryker. If he wants to continue the research on mutant suppression drugs, he still needs the cooperation and help of the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Colonel...Please believe in Watson's assurance that all this will never involve you. I have handled the matter very cleanly...Of course, partners should trust each other. For Kelly's participation I am deeply sorry for the misfortune of the councilor... Rest assured, Colonel Stryker, you will receive Watsonton's sincerity soon..."

Marcus held back the impatience in his heart, and talked on the phone with Stryker with a smile. This cold and solemn colonel only wanted to get benefits from Watsonton, but he was stingy with his own efforts.

If it wasn't for the research and development of the mutant suppression drug, and Stryker's help was needed for the time being, Marcus would have turned his face and forcibly taken away all the results of the other party. He was just an army colonel, not a big shot.

During the conversation, Marcus looked out of the window inadvertently. The afterglow of the setting sun had subsided, the warm light sank into the horizon, and the tulle of night quietly draped over the city.

However, in the most ordinary scene, there is a discordant figure——

An old man wearing a helmet and a purple robe stands in the void, with his hands open, as if he is manipulating the movement of the earth, as if everything has lost gravity. Cars are floating in the air, forming a magnificent steel dragon.

The old man who was as proud as a king walked towards Watsonton step by step on the stairs made of steel and metal.

The phone in his hand dropped suddenly, Marcus opened his mouth wide, his eyes were full of horror, and a cold feeling swept over his body.
