Beauty Man's Myriad Hearts

Rhodes stood in front of the soldiers, standing tall and straight, like a strong pine tree, watching the ferocious and impressive gang members leave, thoughtfully.

From a man's perspective, he quite appreciated the fierce style displayed by these people in this operation.

But from the perspective of a lieutenant colonel, he was only filled with fear.

Especially when such a terrifying power is in the hands of an underground figure.

Rhodes' eyes fell on David.

Fortunately, he is only the executor of the task, and he does not need to consider many issues.

The most important thing is that although he thought about turning against him directly and commanding soldiers to arrest and deal with these gang members who must all have criminal backgrounds, the price of turning against them was something that no one could bear.

Once chaos breaks out in New York's underground world, the soft blow to Manhattan may be no less severe than the ravages of vampires.

New York, the most prosperous city in the world, is crisscrossed with various underground interests. Once an avalanche is triggered, not only will you not become a hero, but you will be instantly submerged by snowflakes.

Thoughts flashed through.

Rhodes no longer waited and commanded his soldiers to storm into the building.

boom!

About five minutes later, a huge thunderous explosion sounded.

All the glass outside the building was shattered by the explosion.

A powerful shock wave, carrying an astonishing heat wave, rushed towards us.

Rhodes stood at the front of the crowd, unmoved by the explosion, as if everything was under his control.

"The firepower is really strong."

David was not surprised when he saw a fierce fire erupting from the window of the building and then felt the scorching air waves.

At the same time, he realized the true meaning of "foolproof" that Rhodes said before.

Judging from the explosion of this level, there is almost no other possibility except thermobaric grenades to erupt such terrifying lethality indoors.

When it comes to thermobaric grenades, we have to popularize the concept of thermobaric weapons.

Thermobaric weapons are actually fuel-air explosives. They are high-explosive weapons developed on the basis of fuel-air bombs. They are the most lethal bombs in the world second only to nuclear bombs and are known as "sub-nuclear weapons."

Compared with nuclear bombs, the manufacturing cost is much lower.

The most important thing is that thermobaric weapons are the trump card for urban and mountain warfare against large-area soft targets on the ground, targets in bunkers and underground fortifications.

As early as the 1990s, the United States has used thermobaric weapons on a large scale in major wars.

As for thermobaric grenades, they can probably be regarded as the mildest type of thermobaric weapons.

Even so, it can blow up a house.

David looked at Rhodes who was directing the battle. He really didn't expect that in order to deal with vampires, the opponent was actually equipped with such a terrifying wartime weapon.

Isn't he afraid that one person will lose control and blow up the whole building?

However, relatively speaking, as long as it is properly controlled, a simple and crude thermobaric grenade can release high temperatures in a short period of time. It is indeed one of the most powerful and effective weapons used by the army to deal with vampires who have tenacious vitality and are not easy to kill completely.

.

"David Fisk, I've heard of you."

Rhodes noticed his gaze, turned around and said with a smile: "Many people have mentioned your name to me recently, which impressed me deeply."

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time we met."

David squinted his eyes, feeling that the black officer in front of him had profound meaning in his words.

Although this was his first meeting, strictly speaking, he was not unfamiliar with this product at all, and was even quite familiar with it.

James Lord, black man, officer.

As soon as a few tags were applied, his identity was revealed. He corresponded to a man who had occupied a place in the Marvel world where talented people were born by hugging his thighs.

The black lieutenant colonel in front of him is undoubtedly Iron Man Tony Stark's friend, the future war machine, and half of the first generation member of the Avengers.

"Meeting you here is an accident, but at the same time it is not an accident."

Rhodes chose to show off and explained: "I'm here for Dr. Michael Morbius."

"Michael?"

David was taken aback, then reacted, remembering that Morbius had mentioned to him before that the FBI had given him some hints.

"It was the military that attracted Michael before..."

He had an idea and suddenly realized: "You want to use bat serum technology to recreate the super soldier serum and conduct research on human body enhancement?"

Previously, the covert invitation from the FBI made David think that senior officials from the Department of Justice wanted to win over Morbius, who is defined as a superhero, to increase his momentum. He never thought that it was actually the military behind the scenes.

If the military came forward, the situation would be obvious.

The Super Soldier Serum will always be the white moonlight in the hearts of the military, and it is also the long-standing persistence of countless people.

"Yes, the appearance of Dr. Morbius has given some people new hope." Rhodes said without hesitation, "Unfortunately, Dr. Morbius declined our invitation."

After a pause, he emphasized: "You have to know that some people are very optimistic about Dr. Morbius's abilities and think that he is an important figure leading the research on super soldier serum."

"I have always believed that Michael is one of the best scientists in the world."

David remained calm: "But the appearance of the bat serum was an accident. Becoming a person with extraordinary abilities was never his goal. He just wanted to cure his own disease."

"Don't worry, we respect Dr. Morbius and have never thought of forcing him."

Rhodes nodded and smiled: "However, some people know that you have a very high say in Dr. Morbius's heart. They hope that you can convince Dr. Morbius to join the military laboratory."

"Let me convince him to join the military laboratory?"

David looked strange.

Taking the initiative to let go of a talented person and prompting him to switch to another place is something that a normal person can do?

Besides, he didn't think that even if he gave up on Mobius, Mobius would be convinced by him and turn to the military.

The thought flashed across his mind, and David did not refuse immediately. Instead, he looked at Rhodes curiously and asked:

"Are you here to be a lobbyist?"

"It can be said that my task is to convince Morbius to join the military laboratory. To this end, I can make some promises within my ability."

Rhodes nodded and said: "For example, help you resolve the conflict between Fisker Pharmaceuticals and Osborne Company, and help you obtain some resources from the military... This can make Fisker Pharmaceuticals grow rapidly."

"Resolve the conflict with Osborne Company..."

David caught the important word and repeated it, his face becoming weirder.

He realized a key point.

"With all due respect, as far as I know, the military and Osborne Company have always cooperated." David narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did Osborne Company participate in the establishment of the military laboratory?

"

"The plan to restart the Super Soldier Serum project was proposed by General Thaddeus Ross and received unanimous approval from the top brass."

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, spoke vaguely, and said relatively euphemistically: "As we all know, General Ross has a close relationship with Osborne Company."

Thaddeus Ross?

Hulk's father-in-law?

"It seems that it is not the military that wants to recruit Michael, but that Osborne Company is obsessed with Michael."

David's mind turned around and he understood the twists and turns.

Osborne Company has been making a lot of moves recently.

Not only did he conduct in-depth human experiments on the bat serum, he also used his connections in the military to join forces with Ross to prepare to restart the super soldier serum project.

Cooperate to establish a military laboratory with the purpose of creating new super soldiers.

Under the premise that Osborn Company has successfully reproduced the bat serum, the emergence of Michael Morbius and Lucius Crown, two people with extraordinary abilities, gave the military enough reason to trust Osborn Company.

The success of "Super Soldier" can be replicated.

If the pie is well drawn, the military has no reason not to eat it.

The project is backed by Osborne, so failure is acceptable.

Once the project is successful, the military will reap unimaginable fruits of victory.

No wonder Osborn Company is trying every possible means to win over Michael Morbius, even using the cover of the military.

However, it can be seen that the military clearly recognizes Osborne's view and is willing to try it.

"I know you have conflicts with Osborne Company, but these are minor issues."

Seeing David's thoughtful look, Rhodes added: "It doesn't really matter what Dr. Morbius thinks. The key is that him staying at Fisker Pharmaceuticals is a waste of talent."

"Correspondingly, using him in exchange for reasonable resources will be of great help to Fisker Pharmaceuticals."

Rhodes' tone was sincere: "I don't think you need to refuse."

"Maybe you are right, but sorry, I refuse."

David had no expression on his face and shook his head.

He saw that Rhodes was sincerely discussing with him.

He knew clearly about the conflict between Fisker Pharmaceuticals and Osborne Company, but had no intention of hiding it at all, and even planned to mediate to resolve it, which showed his sincerity and position - he was simply acting as a military representative to win over Mobius.

Lobbyist.

However, the more sincere Rod was, the more unhappy David became.

It's clear that Fisker Pharmaceuticals has been underestimated.

The military didn't take Fisker Pharmaceuticals seriously at all.

Osborne Company is an established multinational enterprise and arms giant that has long-term cooperation with the military.

Fisker Pharmaceuticals was established recently and lacks performance and has no research results.

From the perspective of the military, the latter does not have any bright spots except for the upcoming addition of Morbius.

Everyone knows how to choose.

Therefore, if Morbius works at Fisker Pharmaceuticals, it will be no different from a waste of talent.

But if Morbius joins the military laboratory and combined with the resources of Osborn Company, the super soldier serum will be more than half successful.

From a popular perspective, the military's decision is indeed not wrong.

But David still held a fire inside.

Currently, several projects of Fisker Pharmaceuticals, whether it is lizard medicine, optimization and adjustment of bat serum, or terminal virus, are unique technologies in the world.

Unfortunately, none of the people in front of me know what the goods are!

He was a little angry.

"David, we are very sincere."

Rhodes showed a trace of surprise and frowned: "You only need to help convince Morbius, and you can get rewards beyond imagination. I don't understand why you refuse?"

"Is it because of the blood disease you have?"

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and added: "If the super soldier serum is successfully developed, it will not only strengthen the human body, but also have the function of curing diseases. We can reserve a place for you, so you don't have to worry at all."

"No, the reason for my refusal is very simple."

David Dandan said: "First of all, Michael joined Fisker Pharmaceuticals on his own initiative. Just as the military respects Michael, I also respect and accept him. As for whether life at Fisker Pharmaceuticals will waste his talents, I don't care.

.Secondly, the conflict between Osborne and I does not require anyone to intervene to resolve it."

"You mean, you never thought about settling with Osborne Company?"

Rhodes quickly understood.

But he still misses the point.

"If you have other ideas about Osborne, or even hope that Osborne will compensate Fisker Pharmaceuticals, you can just say it."

Rhodes still tried to get David to take action: "I will report it for you."

"Rod, what we discussed was never the same thing. In your eyes, Fisker Pharmaceuticals is in a weak position compared with Osborne Company. I don't deny this."

David shook his head, paused, and emphasized: "But I will also not admit that you are right."

"What's the meaning?"

Rhodes was surprised: "Do you think Fisker Pharmaceuticals can survive the comprehensive suppression of Osborne Company?"

"Yes."

David nodded without hesitation: "Osborne will be a complete failure, and Fisker Pharmaceuticals will be the ultimate winner."

"With all due respect, this is impossible."

Rhodes answered resolutely: "The current scale of Fisker Pharmaceuticals is not even comparable to a leg hair of Osborne Company. Although you have amazing power in other aspects, this will not affect the relationship between Fisker Pharmaceuticals and Osborne Company."

In terms of fighting, it does not play a decisive role."

His meaning is very clear. David's identity in the underground world can only protect himself at best and does not pose a decisive threat to Osborne Company.

The competition between Fisker Pharmaceuticals and Osborne Corporation, and the conflict between David and Norman, are completely different from each other.

"It seems you don't understand Osborne Company at all."

David smiled and said: "As you can see in front of you, this building is occupied by vampires. Who do you think is the culprit of all this?"

"Lucius Crown."

Rhodes answered, and was stunned for a moment, thinking that David would not ask such an obvious question, and said suspiciously: "It can't be Osborne Company, can it?"

"Yes, it's Osborne Company."

David nodded: "Osborn Company instructed Horizon Laboratory to recruit homeless people and conduct illegal human experiments. This gave Lucis Crown the opportunity to hide, and he even created the vampire crisis in front of him."

"Without Osborn's decision to conduct secret human experiments, there would be no current crisis, and Lucius Crown would have nowhere to hide..."

Having said this, he asked Rhodes again: "Do you still think that the murderer is Lucius Crown and Osborne Company is innocent?"

Rhodes stayed where he was, looking back at the building, frowning, realizing that he had overlooked something.

He did not doubt the truth of these words.

David dares to say this, which proves that he must have evidence.

Thinking of David's energy means that he will soon see reports on this matter in the news.

boom!

Suddenly, there was another violent explosion inside the building.

Everyone was clearly aware that the building in front of them seemed to be trembling faintly and moaning.

Sizzsssssssssss...

"Report."

A voice came from the communicator in Rhode's hand, interrupting his thoughts: "Lieutenant Colonel, the vampires in the hall have been eliminated, and we are heading deeper."

"Hard."

Rhodes took a deep breath, responded to his soldiers, looked at David and said seriously: "We need to talk again, and I will come back to you after I finish handling this matter."

"Of course, you are always welcome."

After David finished speaking, he knew that there was no need for him to stay any longer. After saying hello to Mosley and others, he led Wesley and others to leave.
