Marvel’s Speedsters

Stepping on the morning sun, Samuel Stern walked alone into the hall of the research base of the cutting-edge laboratory.

Along the way, people come and go, you can often see some familiar faces passing by, people greeting each other endlessly, but no one wants to come over and shake hands with this non-mainstream cell biologist or say good morning, if some people really have no way to share an elevator with Samuel, then they will only look intently at the ceiling or mobile phone, as if completely unaware of the existence of this colleague.

Although the laboratory has been established for less than a year and has not yet formed complex interpersonal relationships, Mr. Stern is an exception, he seems to be born with a special superpower, which can help him offend all the people around him in a very short time, and the longer they spend together, the deeper the degree of disgust will be, and there is no precedent for reversing perceptions through contact.

An eccentric, selfish, extreme, stubborn eccentric—- this is the impression Mr. Stern left on everyone. Even his longtime friend, Dr. Connors, one of the lab’s two founders who introduced Samuel to | lab, has to admit that this view is not without reason.

Except for the members of his research group who had to accept the tasks assigned by their superiors, no one would be interested in such a strange person, and Samuel had long been accustomed to the indifference of the outside world, and he was accustomed to fighting back with a self-directed attitude. Just like at this moment, although most of the people around him were neatly dressed, he still wore a dirty blue rugby jacket and crumpled jeans as usual, ignored the subtle gazes of others, rudely pushed away his colleagues who stood in the way, and swaggered towards the biological research department.

In his opinion, it was his territory, and there were his subjects.

But today is undoubtedly not a good day, and Samuel got the worst news he wanted to hear as soon as he entered.

“Dr. Stern,” a freckled young man ran over and whispered a few words, Samuel’s mood immediately became gloomy, and he quickened his pace towards his research room, where there were some important personal belongings that needed to be disposed of as soon as possible.

When you push the door in, the first thing you see is a mess.

The floor, walls, and even the ceiling were littered with pale green fragments of flesh and blood. From the traces, it seems that some strange creature has violently expanded in the room and exploded, which is why such a large area of wreckage has been distributed. In the strong fishy smell, several researchers in protective suits were kneeling on the ground and carefully grabbed them, lightly put them into transparent bags—- before the biological cleanup team arrived, they must first clean up these disgusting things.

“Oh no!” Samuel desperately rushed in, covered his forehead with his hands and screamed, and the scene before him told him that his private experiment had once again met with a shameful failure.

“You idiot graduate students, why didn’t anyone remind me to abort the hatching, now that the experimental samples cultivated are dead, I will fire you all…”

He yelled like a madman, pushed | down two rows of display shelves hard, smashed all the glass test tubes on it, and raised his foot to kick a puddle of flesh and blood that the graduate student had just put in the bag.

Cutting a long arc, the bloody corpse fell right on the person who had just walked in.

“Connors?” Seeing the person coming, Samuel, who was in anger, was slightly startled, and reason returned to his brain. “Why are you here?”

Samuel’s heart was a little apprehensive, Connors was his direct supervisor, and these biological experiments were carried out privately in the laboratory, which not only used the expensive equipment of the laboratory, but also wasted the research funds of the research group, if you go out to let Pepper’s little | know the inside story.

Samuel didn’t want to leave the lab too early until he got the results, knowing that he would never find such a privileged environment again, and no company would want to hire researchers with poor integrity.

Fortunately, it was Connors who came in and not someone else…

Samuel was a little lucky, but he soon discovered that today’s atmosphere was somewhat unusual.

Dr. Connors did not answer, took out a tissue to wipe the smudge on his body, found that it was useless, no longer wasted his effort, frowned and glanced around the room a few times before looking at Samuel.

“Come with me, let’s talk.”

Dropping the cold-tone words, Connors turned and walked out.

Five minutes later, Samuel, who had a ghost in his heart, arrived at the small drawing room in the laboratory ding.

In addition to the expressionless Connors, another founder, Ross Byrne, was there.

Seeing these two bosses appear at the same time, Mr. Samuel Stern immediately felt cold in his heart.

He didn’t know why Ross was here, but instinctively thought it wouldn’t be a good thing, and there was a high chance that it would have something to do with the accident caused by his own private experiment.

Although his self-esteem is extremely high, Samuel’s mediocre first half of life actually has no glory to speak of. Yes, he has a high education, a superhuman IQ, and a very high academic standard, but his bad personality limits his development, no one wants to cooperate with him, and no investor wants to throw money into the bottomless pit that is often diverted for other purposes. With no money or assistants, Samuel had to do low-cost partial research on his own, which in turn made him increasingly out of the mainstream of biology.

In this vicious circle, his reputation has spread, and if it were not for the urgent need for competent scholars to fill the vacancy when cutting-edge laboratories were just being established, Samuel doubted that Connors would have welcomed him with open arms.

In fact, Connors has begun to regret why he recommended this bastard to Ross.

After arriving at the cutting-edge laboratory, Mr. Stern did have a time of honesty, which impressed his old friends who knew him, but Connors soon found that Samuel was back on his old path, which was quite annoying and embarrassing to the doctor.

For some time, the Doctor had been expecting his old friend to confess the truth to him, but all he got was a variety of quibbles, as if Samuel thought that he could hide himself by deception and take on his undue responsibilities.

This contemptuous attitude made Connors so angry that for a moment he almost wanted to turn into a lizard state, swallowing Samuel in one gulp, so that reason dissuaded him from doing so.

The reason why Samuel was not driven away was actually Ross’s meaning, and now summoning him here is also from Ross’s arrangement.

“What’s your command, Rose, I don’t think you’re going to show me around your lavish drawing room, are you?”

Samuel’s attitude was as nasty as ever.

“Of course not, the Doctor and I are here to meet you in the hope of adjusting our employment relationship and redrawing a contract.”

Handing over a document, Ross sat half-seated on his desk, staring at Samuel’s scalp and smiling.

After flipping through it a few times, Mr. Stern was puzzled.

He was not given the expected notice of dismissal, and according to the other party, he would become the head of a new company and independently lead the private experiment he is now conducting.

After being stunned for a minute, the non-mainstream scientist came back to his senses.

“Mr. Byrne, I don’t think I’m capable of managing the company on my own, so I’m sorry, I can’t do it.”

Samuel refused as tactfully as possible, he had a lesson in the failure of working in large companies and large research institutes, and it was clear that some promotions did not really lead to a rise in status, maybe it just changed people who did not want to be dealt with harshly to the edge of the world, and just wanted to kick those guys away, so he did not want to sign any new contracts.

No matter how favorable the conditions sound.

Ross looked at Connors, and the Doctor had to join the conversation.

“Don’t you want to study your wonderful biological specimens and solve their mysteries as soon as possible?” Connors persuaded in a blunt tone, although he didn’t know what Ross was thinking, he really wanted to get the guy who betrayed him out of the lab completely.

“No… I admit that I did get some strange cells, which were obtained through black market informants, I don’t know who the person I contacted was, I doubted his existence, and I still wonder if he is fictional… So you see, it’s not wise to invest more for such unrealistic things. The laboratory already has Finix pharmacy, and it is said that the next stage of new products is also about to enter the | stage of the pro-Chuang stage, I think we need to save money now, there is no need to invest too many resources in unreliable directions…”

Samuel racked his brain, as if the failed experiments had nothing to do with him.

“Makes sense, but here’s the situation.” Ross didn’t want to entangle with the other party anymore | throw out his reasons.

“As of today, we are doing well, our market share has been expanding, and our technology is at the leading level in the industry, which brings us a lot of benefits, but unfortunately we will not always be so beautiful. There is news that our competitors are pushing antitrust litigation in Washington, and for the long-term development of the laboratory, we need to enrich the product and avoid getting bogged down when the environment is not conducive to our formation, so the laboratory wants to invest in your new discovery—- simply put, we need new profit growth points, I chose you. ”

Samuel suddenly realized, and he immediately danced with joy.

“Worthy of Mr. Byrne, I really didn’t expect you to see my achievements, once this cell deciphers its application prospects will be very extensive, hundreds of diseases will be treated, human beings will be free from aging, we can get the Nobel Prize for this, this is the fire of Prometheus, the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my life.”

“So I’m going to lend you the old lab site on East 97th Street in Manhattan and inject a sum of money, you can have your own business, the lab is willing to be your backing, support you, and of course we also ask for a share of the return.” Ross said with a smile while exchanging a look with Connors.

The Doctor persuaded at the right time.

In order to avoid doubt, his attitude could not appear too ardent or cold, which was quite a laborious job for the doctor.

“Old Kang, and Mr. Byrne, it’s not a matter of money.” By this time, Samuel, who had calmed down, sat down steadily, cocked one leg, and raised his chin high.

Indeed, this is not a question of money, but of whether there is enough money …

For another person, Ross would definitely call in the people from the legal department, let them carefully calculate the account with Mr. Stern one by one, confiscate all the test specimens by the way, and then send him to prison to accompany the prisoners to pick up soap.

However, he didn’t need to be angry with this kind of person.

Samuel didn’t know he had the Hulk’s cells in his hands. According to the original development of the world, he will have a fairly important position, Ross does not want to cause too many changes, and he is not willing to let it go, he is very reluctant to see the Hulk suddenly rush in one day and make a mess of the research room he built with his own hands.

Holding Connors’ shoulder, the Doctor forcibly held back the breath.

“Twenty percent shares, two million dollars in cash, and general purpose | materials for the lab can be borrowed for free. In addition, once results are achieved, the company pays you a profit share of one percent for each item sold that is related to your results. Ross offered delicious carrots and kept seducing them in front of each other’s eyes.

Samuel hesitated, finding that his weak will could not resist the surging temptation |.

“Forty percent shares, five million cash… I also want to use two percent of the share. ”

He struggled to make his final demands.

On this basis, Ross gave him a fold, and Samuel immediately accepted.
