American comics: Extracting the immortality of cancer cells at the beginning

[You can read what the author has to say in the previous chapter, maybe there will be a surprise]

Headquarters of Water Group, CEO's office.

Ashley stood in front of the door dressed very formally, looking nervous, holding a stack of documents in her hand.

After hesitating for a long time, she still knocked on the door of the office

"Knock, knock, Mr. Edgar?"

"Come in."

In the office, a middle-aged man with dark brown skin, white hair, and gray-rimmed round glasses on his nose was sitting on a chair, writing something with a pen.

The deep creases on his face, the sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything, and the black and white hand-made custom suit gave the man a bit of aura of majesty without anger.

"You are...Ashley? I remember you just took over as the head of the group's human resources project department the day before yesterday. What's up? What's up?"

"Um...Mr. Edgar, it's a seven-man team you left in the human resources department to collect intelligence on newcomers. The old supervisor, Riven, has already gone to other departments. I hadn't taken office yet..."

"So I came here to submit some intelligence."

"It's like this... I'm busy now and can't get my hands free. Ashley, can you give me a verbal report?"

"Okay, okay..."

Ashley opened the file with shaking hands, took a deep breath, and tried to keep her voice steady:

"Mr. Edgar, the following are the results of a survey on the popularity of civilian parahumans.

First is Storm Girl. She has a good influence on the public, especially her strong nationalist speeches are very inflammatory, which successfully attracted a large number of followers, especially female groups. She has a feminist aura, which makes her popular among women Has a very high reputation. "

"This can help the group gain a lot of female support. You know, the fashion items released by Queen Maeve have been bought out four times by crazy female consumers, and the supply is in short supply."

"The people in the data analysis project department gave Storm a score of 83 for joining the team."

Hearing this, Edgar frowned slightly and interrupted:

"Just speaking can make her so famous? What about her superpowers? This evaluation score is probably the highest ever among the other seven members of the team that year."

"Except for the homelander who was selected by the group, Queen Maeve, who is the second most popular, only scored 81 points."

Ashley hurriedly continued:

"Mr. Edgar, in addition to her outstanding speaking ability, Storm also has the ability to control lightning, can fly, and has a very good physical fitness."

Edgar nodded, his sharp eyes flashed a gleam, and after a moment of silence, he motioned her to continue.

Ashley then flipped through the report in her hand and said again:

"Next are Luke Riverdan and Kate Dunlap, who are ranked first and second in Godokin University.

These two people have recently occupied the top ten hot search terms on the entire superhuman Internet, and even ordinary people are discussing their events."

"Are you talking about... the incident at Godokin University a few days ago?"

"Yes, just the day before yesterday, they successfully destroyed the conspiracy of Godokin University President Sheti to create a superhuman virus and destroy superhumans."

Speaking of this, Ashley did not hide her shock.

You know, I can stand here today thanks to the mysterious person who called me at the beginning.

Originally, Ashley thought that the other party was just a senior executive within the group, and his influence was only within the group. Unexpectedly, the other party's layout could even affect the entire society.

And... it also involves a huge conspiracy like the superhuman virus.

You know, if Sheti really succeeds, the entire Vought Group will be hit hard. Not only will the superhuman brand be smashed, but even the industry and market value will shrink rapidly and eventually go bankrupt.

Although the Vought Group does not rely solely on superhumans to make money, this is the main profitable industry. Even if the superhuman virus breaks out, the Vought Group will need a certain amount of time to make an emergency response plan.

"Oh? Tell me in detail, what are their abilities?"

Edgar's eyes flashed with surprise.

Due to the recent arrogant and childish behavior of Homelander, he wanted to find a new member of the Seven to replace Homelander's position as the captain of the Seven.

And at this juncture, more than half of the members of the Seven have entered the cold storage state - injured, alienated, and if this continues, they will soon become the Super Disabled Seven.

Ashley swallowed and continued:

"Luke Riverdan has extraordinary physical fitness and self-healing ability, and can recover quickly even if his limbs are injured.

And Kate Dunlap has telepathic abilities similar to the first generation female superhero 'Psychic Storm', and she can also manipulate others with language to a certain extent. "

As events happened one after another, the status and image of the mysterious man in Ashley's eyes changed dramatically. In fact, she had memorized this content a long time ago.

Originally, she didn't expect it to be useful so soon, but now, while she was going with the flow, she had to admire the efficiency and means of the mysterious man's actions.

Edgar crossed his hands and fell into deep thought: "The potential of these two people should not be underestimated. So what is their current image in the public?"

Ashley quickly replied:

"Mr. Edgar, because of this action, they are regarded as "saviors" by the majority of superhumans, and they are also greatly sought after by the media... Outside Godokin University, reporters from various newspapers squatted in the early morning every day, and as long as there was a slight movement, they would file in. "

"Not only that, they are still a couple. "

"Based on this alone, the personnel score of the data analysis project department has reached 94. "

Hearing this, Edgar's eyes flashed with understanding.

He stood up, walked to the window, and said with his back to Ashley:

"Ashley, this report is quite detailed, but I need you to further analyze the potential impact of their influence on our group and how we should deal with it, understand?"

"Give me another report tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, I will issue orders to the new seven-member team tomorrow..."

"Well, that's it. If you have any objections, come to me again."

Ashley nodded quickly:

"Yes, Mr. Edgar, I will finish the report as soon as possible."

Edgar turned around slowly and his eyes fell on Ashley again:

"As a new employee, I hope you can adapt to the requirements of this position as soon as possible and don't let me down."

"If anyone else has any opinions, you can come to me directly."

Hearing this, Ashley was a little flattered, and then said excitedly:

"Yes, President, I will work hard! "

Then, she carefully left the office.

Waiting for the office door to close, she looked very excited, her nose turned up, and she pressed her arms down hard, shouting:

"Yes!!!"

————Dividing line————

New York, CIA headquarters.

"Boucher, you did a good job this time... I have applied to the higher-ups to revoke your wanted order."

On the office chair, Susan threw a wanted order revocation notice to Butcher and asked him to sign it.

"Susan, where is that son of a bitch Dr. Parker hiding? You have been looking for him for two days, but there is still no news."

"Calm down, Butcher, on the surface, this person is a retired central employee of the Water Group, but in fact, he has been secretly hidden and has not appeared for at least 20 years."

"It will take some time to investigate."

"Now there is another situation. Do you remember the compound No. 5 you got from Luke Warridan last time? ”

“What, is it that the bitch gave me fake?”

“No, no, what he gave me is real, but this compound No. 5 has been studied by the technical department and it has a 24-hour efficacy. The side effects are still unknown.”

“So… this is the shit package that turns you into a 24-hour bastard and gives you a surprise after using it?”
