Chapter 56: Jessica Jones Blocking the Door (Third Update, please subscribe!)
Upon hearing "If you are willing to give me 50 billion," the desperate Ward Meachum seemed to see a glimmer of dawn and hope rose within him again.
But what followed—
Thor, Asgardian Valkyries, Professor X—he had never even heard of them!
Clearly, the other party was spouting nonsense and toying with him!
"Is it fun to toy with someone you are about to kill?"
Ward Meachum sneered at Su Quan. Is this what they mean by 'when a man is about to die, his courage grows'?
Su Quan shrugged with a smile: "A lot happened today, I'm just using you to pass the time and relax. What, do you have an objection?"
Ward Meachum’s eyes darted around; his clever intellect had regained the high ground.
Something is wrong, very wrong!
If he really intended to let those people kill him and his sister to avoid future trouble, he should have done it long ago. Why would he be in the mood to mess with him? ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
Therefore—
"You aren't planning to kill us?"
"I can kill you whenever I want!"
Su Quan’s eyes widened, and crimson heat vision instantly burned through the ropes tied around Ward Meachum’s wrists.
Ward Meachum jumped in fright, stumbled back a few steps, eyes wide, rubbing his wrists which felt slightly scorched.
"You—" Joy Meachum was about to scream, but the same heat vision precisely burned through the ropes on her hands.
This made her instantly clamp her mouth shut.
"If I don't see ten cargo ships of the same specifications parked here in a month, wash your neck and wait for death."
"Any problems?"
"No, no problems, absolutely no problems!"
With the situation turned around and his life spared, Ward Meachum’s head shook like a rattle.
"Get lost."
Su Quan waved his hand, and Ward Meachum pulled his sister along, excitedly preparing to leave.
Just as he opened the door, Ward Meachum hesitated and turned back: "Um, this is my family's ship, I—"
"Hmm?"
"I mean, can you let the others go too? If we leave together, we can ensure our safety."
"Get lost."
"Yes, yes, yes, we're leaving right now."
Ward Meachum could tell that Su Quan had agreed.
Ten minutes later.
The Meachum siblings and the others who had been locked up were driven off the cargo ship.
"What—what happened here?"
"Did a war break out?"
"No, I can't take it, ugh—"
As soon as they got off, they were stunned.
The originally flat and wide ground now had an inverted cone-shaped crater, with winding cracks and dense bullet holes near it.
Hundreds of people, their faces filled with terror and their bodies trembling, kept their mouths shut and silently carried the horrific corpses that looked as if they had been sliced apart by something.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and charred flesh, mixed with a faint, pungent sea stench that made one feel slightly nauseous.
The siblings looked at each other, thinking in unison of those crimson eyes from just moments ago.
It was him, he did this!
Who, who on earth is he!
Joy Meachum was still fearful, but a cunning light flickered in Ward Meachum’s steady eyes.
Who he is doesn't matter; what matters is that he is strong—strong enough to be called a demon god!
If he is on our side, we won't have to fear those who want our lives.
The group left the dock without daring to breathe too loudly, and Ward Meachum immediately contacted his father to explain what had happened.
Not long after, several private helicopters picked them up, and they left the Madripoor port that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Meanwhile.
Su Quan, having finished handling everything, was also preparing to return to "Na Dou Tong" with the female Winter Soldier.
Originally, he had planned to bring the female Winter Soldier, the Monk Winter Soldier, and the Bearded Winter Soldier back together.
However, there was still much to be done in Madripoor, and he needed manpower, so he simply brought the female Winter Soldier back alone.
Not only that, but he also gave Dottie and the White Queen two doses of the newly refreshed serum each.
That should be enough for the initial stage.
Na Dou Tong.
Su Quan and the female Winter Soldier appeared on the third floor, in his room.
"Click!"
He turned on the light, and as the brightness dispelled the darkness, Su Quan felt inexplicably guilty.
This time, he had been away even longer than when he went to the "The Boys" world, and he hadn't specifically said goodbye when he left.
Jessica would probably complain again.
Putting down his backpack, Su Quan took the female Winter Soldier downstairs.
The lights were all off; Jessica and the X-23 must have already gone to sleep.
He settled the female Winter Soldier in.
Returning to his room, Su Quan summoned Friday to briefly ask about the business situation and Mr. Negative’s performance.
As for business, it was lukewarm.
Na Dou Tong was a new company, after all, without endorsements from celebrities or large corporations. Even if many clients had a need for such services, they would wait and see for a while.
At the very least, they needed to believe that Na Dou Tong had the strength to transport valuable items; otherwise, if the goods were robbed or stolen, even if compensation was provided, the items themselves would be gone.
Mr. Negative’s performance was quite good—diligent, efficient, and quick-witted.
Almost a third of the business was secured through his own initiative.
Come to think of it, he was currently the only one in Na Dou Tong with social experience and capability.
The next morning.
Su Quan was blocked at his room door by Jessica Jones, who was staring at him without saying a word.
"Morning."
Su Quan tentatively greeted her, but Jessica Jones remained indifferent, still staring straight at him.
Playing the silent treatment, are we?
Fine.
"I'm going to buy some oranges; you just stay here and don't move."
Su Quan teleported directly behind Jessica Jones.
What could Jessica Jones do?
She had no choice but to break her silence!
"What’s the deal with that woman?" Jessica Jones turned around and asked with a cold huff.
Su Quan shook his head with a smile.
"Your tone sounds like you're catching a cheating spouse. She’s an employee I picked up, just like you and X-23. I'll have her follow you for a while to get familiar with the business."
"By the way, she has very rich combat experience. If you're willing, you can learn a trick or two from her."
Jessica Jones curled her lip and quipped: "You sure know how to pick them."
Su Quan laughed.
Of course I know how to pick them; don't you know I built my fortune by picking things up?
"How is Kimiko doing lately? Can she communicate yet?"
Su Quan hadn't forgotten that the main purpose of being away for so long this time was to fix the time controller and tame Kimiko.
