It's been six weeks since I got the Kingpin fortune, and everything is going great. We invested around forty millions dollars to hire more than two hundred people, get equipment and logistic for the company, get a production and assembly line to make our products, and get the necessary material for our products and researches along with others little things.
I change the name of the company from Confederated Global Investments to Kang Enterprise. Narcissist I know but everybody name their company after their name in the comics, why not me?
We already made ten millions back from Great Britain commission for the wind turbine, we focused on this contract first since they wanted it shortly and the order wasn't that big anyways, so we could get it done quite quickly.
As for the much bigger order made by Qatar, we already shipped a quarter of the total number of solar panel they demanded. After testing and appraising the quality of the panel, they increased their order by another thirty millions dollars and making the total amount of the contract a hundred and ten millions. That's a huge order and compared to the wind turbine, one solar panel cost much less. So for a hundred millions dollars order, we'll have to make more than a hundred thousand panels before we complete the order, and from our speed it'll take another three months before we complete it, unless we increase our production by building another factory.
We received another command during that time, a small order from a Japanese energy company totaling around five millions or so and they only came to order from us because of Elizabeth knew one of their executive. The lack of orders came from the fact that we just started and few people know of us, or they just wanted to wait and see the performance result. There's also the fact that there are better and more cost efficiency to generate power and that in 2008 people aren't crazy about clean energy yet or global warming.
I don't think this universe will ever have a problem with global warming due to the genius inhabiting this planet.
Our smartphone business is going forward smoothly. Elizabeth hired the necessary people for the sales and advertisement team to handle spreading our product name in the populace while people in the programming team took care of the servers and trying to come up with new application for our product lunch, which is in two weeks.
Quite a bit of money was spent on advertising our phone, Noble, in media. We could see it on TV, magazine or internet. From what I read, a lot of people were quite enthusiastic about it.
The lawyers took care of the legal problem we might encounters with the artist for music streaming app Yung, Vanessa was the one who name it and Elizabeth agreed. The messenger app was named GoChat, simple like the app.
Those aren't the only application that we're going make. I remembered that the top most popular apps are mainly streaming ones and what's the point of making a phone that can watch movie if there is no app for that. There's where Netflix come in.
Elizabeth negotiated with them to cooperate and bring them into the smartphone business by making an app for Netflix where people can see their catalogue of movie and TV series.
I don't know if they were looking down on profit from a smartphone but my CEO came back with what I think are very good condition. Six years of exclusivity of use for application store only, we named ours MarvelStore because I couldn't help but put the name marvel in one of my company product. On top of the exclusive contract, Kang enterprise will get 30% of the profit generated by the app and they won't have to do a thing since our company will create the app and take care of everything that comes with it, which is quite easily done.
Everything was mostly done and ready for the launch of Noble, and since we don't own our shop for obvious reasons it will be sold via other retail store. The company made one hundred thousand phones in preparation for the launching day. We should get around five to six hundred dollars in profit for every phone we sell.
You may ask how in six weeks we were able to achieve so much already. I learned that when you give enough money people tend to work faster.
I already had two warehouses that I transformed into production and assembly factory and I bought another four to make it six. Installing the facilities and equipment took only a week thanks to SEVEN mechanics hands who worked day and night along with others engineers. The engineer who saw SEVEN at was impressed and curious, some half lie half-truth was enough to satisfy their curiosity.
All the warehouses are mostly all mechanized except a few things that needed a human touch. Actually we didn't need any human worker since SEVEN could take care of it all, but I think it'll be better to give people some easy work in the factory to avoid future trouble such as people visiting the factory and find it weird to end up attracting attention on us.
The factories were designed by SEVEN and mostly controlled by her multiplying the efficiency by many fold and that is how we were able to do so much in so little time.
Elizabeth did an amazing job from the start, and took her work like a fish in water. She is working so hard, that I started to feel bad for slacking around and pushing all the work to her. So I tried to relieve some of the work from her, such as hiring people.
Hiring people was quite easy, have SEVEN look at their background, ask them with question made by SEVEN, and have SEVEN analyze the answer then decide to hire them or not. That's right, even when I work I laze around and leave most of the work to other people.
During the hiring process, I noticed something. Since I did all the hiring I have an idea of the quality of staff and hindsight I shouldn't have dedicated ten floors to R&D. The qualities of recruits in that department are not great, and I should have expected it. Our budget is limited for that department is limited for now and we're relatively new compared to other big name like Horizon labs, Oscorp, Stark industry or many others and all of them are in New York.
Not that I expected much from them at the start. They're going to try to develop better application on the phone and better smartphone. No need to be a genius for that, especially when SEVEN is going to give them hints to help them around.
There was someone weird who I hired, Amara Perera, a twenty two years old young college graduate who came to be an engineer. Her resume was excellent, she graduated on top of her class but it was for biophysics. I suspected her to be a spy but it didn't make sense and SEVEN couldn't find anything that might point to her being a spy.
I asked her, during the interview, why she chose Kang enterprise and apply for a post of an engineer when she is a biophysics graduate.
She told me that at first she wanted to work for Horizon labs but changed her mind and thought that working for a small or new company will allow her more opportunities and freedom in her work and only applied for an engineer post because there wasn't one for her specialty but assured me she is quite knowledgeable about engineering and will do what is asked of her diligently. The Sri Lankan woman also asked if she could use the labs during her free time for her personal projects.
As I mentioned earlier, I agreed and ended up hiring her but I told SEVEN to keep an eye on her. The fact that she's pretty good looking influenced greatly in my decision.
Standing at 5'6 with long black hairs reaching just slightly lower that her shoulder, big brown nearly black eyes, angular face and full plump lips with a beautiful caramel skin. She is wearing most of the time baggy and rather conservative clothes but from what I could glean, she is quite slime with curves where she need it.
I had planned to seduce her but when I rolled the dice, I got nothing, and that was my entire plan right there depending on the dice roll. Well, I could always try to seduce her normally but that takes time, effort and compatibility, something I suck at. I could ask Vanessa for help but I'm not sure how you're supposed to ask your current girlfriend to help you seduce another woman without making it awkward. So I put the plan to get her into my personal harem at the back of my mind.
Leland Owsley who couldn't keep himself from trying to convince me to continue the business in crime was quick the shut up when the money started to flow in, but he was still a bit passive aggressive about the situation. I had a mind of firing him and hire our own accountant however Elizabeth convinced me not to because it may be cheaper to hire our own accountant but they will be less competent. In the end I kept his firm as our accountant, but at the first sign of betrayal Vanessa will give him a visit.
Benjamin Donovan and his firm has been nothing but impeccable and professional. They did their job well whatever it was, and I have nothing bad to say on them.
Robert Sullivan and his men has been nothing but overpaid guards. It's alright though, because I have plans for them to become my elite squad that will do whatever I need them to do. I asked him to keep his men well trained and I even made SEVEN give them some nice suit, not some iron man type but just bullet proof ones that cover the entire body. I will inject them with super soldier serum and extremis when SEVEN get them working.
While we're on the subject of SEVEN, his progresses on the multiple projects are going well.
She's working on her own version of super soldier serum, the AI succeeded in created a serum that make someone at the absolute peak of human body but still nowhere as good as Captain America. She still need to test and search more before coming with something better.
Extremis serum is near completion, SEVEN is still working on the side effect and weakness of the serum. She is also trying to see if she could make it even better than I actually is. I'm not too sure how to feel about extremis, it looked hella strong in the movie but I'm not sure that I want to be on fire all the time.
I also asked her if she could create a serum that could make someone age slower or outright stop it and a serum that might give somebody youth back. This thing can sell for a fortune.
The Cradle from Helen Cho has been put to the shelve for the time being, SEVEN ran the simulation and from what she told me the body made from this won't be good enough, so she is trying come up with her own way to make a body made of flesh. I could have told her that vibranium could be used to make a body but all the vibranium are in Wakanda and we sure as hell don't have the mean to steal it from them.
SEVEN is also working on a new form of energy, a little bit like the arc reactor. But nobody will hear me say that again, the AI went what I believe a rant when I said that and tried to explain to me how different and better she's would be compared to the Stark's.
As for the sentinel project, the first of its kind is actually being built on the floor below, he is named Sentinel PT-1. SEVEN told me the details but since it was too technical for me I zoned out. I only got the gist of it. It made of different metal such as titanium, tungsten, steel and osmium. It could potential life around ten tons and could fly at the cruising speed of Mach 1.
He could shoot different type of energy blast from the chest and hands, such as plasma, electrons, stun beams and heat. There are machine guns around their wrist and some small missile in their shoulder pad. They could also detect mutant in the nearby surrounding area, SEVEN kept this implement in the design. He shares the same witness as TR-1 which the lack of an independent energy source and need to be charged, but since the battery on the PT-1 is much better, it only needs to be charged every three days.
The sentinel is directly controlled by her but SEVEN also personally created an AI for it that can be activated when she doesn't want to control it. The AI is rather complex and simple in the same time, the AI is programmed to listen to my every word and protect me from harm, other than that he won't do anything else until ordered to.
From what I saw from the picture SEVEN showed me, the robot has a humanoid form and much better to look at than the TR-1. SEVEN let met color the android, so I decided on a mix of onyx black, marble white and gold tint yellow. The first sentinel also has eyes similar to Optimus Prime that can shoot lasers and has two rail cannon hidden inside his back.
If what I hear from SEVEN is to be believed, then this robot should be more powerful than the first few iron man suit and much more deadly but it still need two more weeks before it's done.
SEVEN also has multiple other small projects going on, she is using all the labs equipment and the super computers at her disposition to its full extend.
"Kenan, stop daydreaming." A voice pulled me out of thought.
It was Vanessa the blue skinned mutant beauty. She tied her hair in a ponytail and was a sports bra along with sport leggings that accentuated her sexy body.
She was standing in front of me in a combat stance with her MMA gloves around her hands.
One day Vanessa had the bright idea to train me how to fight. I didn't want to at first but she said it might be of use one day and she's going to fuck my brain out if I ever land a clean hit on her head or torso. It's been five weeks since we started that and I found out I have zero talent in martial arts, because she still didn't fuck my brain out.
It's not like we never had sex during these six weeks, but only once every three days. Enough for me to level up at least once and I put the point in charm this time. At least Vanessa is wild when she gets in the mood, I learned that she liked to take control during sex and be on top however I also found out that she doesn't like any form spanking or dirty talk.
Kenan Kang
LVL 8
XP: 520/800
Charm: 1
Sexual Prowess: 10
Point: 0
I kind of want to get another woman but have no idea how to do it.
"Come on now, try your best." Vanessa instructed and getting rid of my sexual thought.
Like every sparing we had, I started by throwing couple weak jabs to test the water, and as usual she either dodged or parried it away. I change the rhythm abruptly and sent a left kick at her midriff with all my strength, only to be casually grabbed and blocked by her. Vanessa mutation can give her as much strength as a top human male athlete.
"You're too obvious Kenan. I can see you trying to kick with your left leg before it even left the ground." Vanessa said before releasing my leg and pushed me off.
After the first spare, Vanessa knew I couldn't deal with pain very well, so she only push and slap during the sparing and never tried hit that might hurt me too much.
"Some people just aren't meant to be good at combat." I replied, renewing the assault on her, but I already gave up on getting a clean hit on her. I'm just going through with the motion and try to satisfy her needs of exercise.
"Most girls like men who can themselves." Whenever Vanessa sees that I'm not trying hard anymore, she starts to encourage me by talking about how to get girls, not that it ever worked.
"You love me though." I replied as I did a low kick.
Vanessa jumped up and pushed me away before responding. "I'm not like most girls. I particularly like cute little puppy."
Personally I take being called a cute little puppy as a compliment. And I guess she succeeded in motivating me because I was starting to take the sparring more seriously even though I knew I was never going to be able to hit her.
After a while, I was lying on the ground breathless and tired. Whenever I was in that state I start to ramble like a drunkard.
"Shit… you'll see, one day I'll get you. I'll become the greatest harem king ever. Even Issei Hyoudou won't be able to hold a candle to me."
"You're so cute when you start rambling about incomprehensive things." Vanessa said as she was pinching my cheeks. "Go take a shower Kenan, you stink." She said before kissing me light on my mouth.
After a much needed shower and rest, I sat in front my computer. Vanessa was close by playing in her own PC at World of Warcraft, a game that I started to play again when I came to this dimension after dropping it for many years back in original one. I introduced the game world to her and she was reluctantly at first but after much convincing and not enough good movies to watch, she relented.
It just so happens that she is more talented than I am in gaming. Feels bad man.
While she's playing her night elf assassin, I'm trying to find all the things that weren't mentioned in the movies that I saw and changed compared to the MCU. Things like mutants, Oscorp or Lateveria weren't mentioned. Some other things were changed like Tony Stark that looked ten years younger than in the movies. Well actually not much has really changed from the movies. It's just that there's much more things or characters compared on what was shown on the movies.
My knowledge of marvel outside of the movies is limited, so who knows what kind of heroes and villains there are in this universe.
I'm pretty sure that Latveria and its ruler Victor von Doom are going to try to conquer the world one day. From what I heard back at my universe, this guy can be the same level of threat as the mad titan.
Well, personally I think Thanos is more threatening and scarier but there's still ten years until he comes and I plan to steal at least a majority of the stones before he could do shit. So I'm not particularly worried about him. Actually I might be a little bit but I try to not think about it too much or I won't be able to sleep and enjoy life.
What spurred me to look for what changed was meeting the Storm siblings in the mall while I was shopping with Vanessa.
FLASHBACK
I went ahead of Vanessa towards the sushi restaurant while she was going to catch up to after she takes her bathroom break. I was holding unto a bunch of clothes and shoes that Vanessa bought for herself and me, when I turned the corner and collided against a pretty tough guy, I was the only one who fell while the guy barely even flinched.
To be honest the only reason I fell was because I wanted to, I was tired of holding all those bags that I wanted to lie on the ground and take a break.
"Ah, my bad. You alright?" The guy who I collided with said. Blond hair and blue eyes with a handsome face and an easy smile, he looked like a playboy.
"Yeah, I'm good." I responded still lying unto the ground, relishing the nice feeling the cool floor brought to me. My arms were killing me.
A girl who I thought was the guy girlfriend slapped him on the head and asked, "Do you need help to get up?" and extended her hand for me to grab.
I didn't want to be bad mannered and make it awkward, so I reluctantly left the confortable floor and took her hand. I took a curious glance at the top of her head to see who it was and it was written Susan Victoria Storm. When I touched her arms I could feel she had powers, powers I could absorb. It was like suddenly my arm could breathe and suck up the air in her. Obviously I didn't try to do it.
The embarrassing thing was I didn't recognize her at first and that middle name didn't help me. To be fair I have never seen any of the fantastic four movies nor read any comics, they movies aren't mainstream or successful enough for a casual who prefer anime like me to pay attention to them. But I had heard of them from some of my friend and read of them in the internet or fanfictions but I always knew them by their nicknames, such as invisible woman and human torch.
"Kenan, what happened?" Vanessa said as she walked in our directions and glanced at the bags that were lying on the ground.
"I fell, no big deal. I was just too tired." I replied to Vanessa telling her nothing exiting or bad happened.
Vanessa in her Jenny appearance rolled her eyes, and gave me a face that asked if I was really that clumsy.
The blond man next to me rushed next to Vanessa and said with a charming and seductive smile. "Hello lady, you're breathtaking."
Vanessa smiled just as seductively in return and replied. "Thank you, you aren't too bad yourself. But I'm already taken." Before she bypassed him and continued her march toward me.
The handsome man looked at her backside as she walked by him. "He's your boyfriend? You guys don't look like a couple." He said and that pissed me off a little bit.
What did he mean by that, it's not like I looked like an ugly motherfucking duck. I do admit in term of appearance she's might be out of my league but it's not like there isn't any couple like us.
I do admit my thought may have gone wild for a second there.
Vanessa and I ignored him.
"Why are you holding his wrist like that?" Vanessa asked as she looked at us.
I didn't even notice that she was still holding to my arm before Vanessa mentioned it. I guess I was too distracted by what the guy did to notice it. I guess it was the same for the invisible woman.
The blonde women immediately removed her hand and apologized.
"Sorry, I was distracted and wasn't aware of it." Susan said with a heavy blush on her face.
"Oh, really?" The tall woman said while looking at her with a raised an eyebrow.
Susan didn't dare to meet Vanessa's eyes and looked down with an increasing scarlet face.
"No way… Sue really?" The handsome blond chimed in.
"Keep your boyfriend with a tighter leash." Vanessa warned as she helped me with collecting the bags that I left on the ground.
"Huh!? Johnny isn't my boyfriend but my brother." Susan explained while waiving her hand side to side in denial.
It was only at that moment I realized who they really are, I mean to be honest I wasn't really thinking until that moment and when I heard their nick names and their sibling status along with the knowledge Susan has powers was when my brain connected the dots.
"Now, that I take a closer look. You guys kind of look like each other's." Vanessa admitted.
"Yes, siblings, just brothers and sisters." Susan Storm kept saying as she was repeatedly nodding her head.
"We have to go. I'll let you siblings get back to… whatever you were to do." Vanessa said as we as we picked back up our bags from the ground.
When I took another look at Susan status, I thought it bugged for second because the reputation score was much higher than it was supposed to and it said she liked me a lot.
Susan Victoria Storm
Status: Single
REP: 45/100
Likes at first sight, she thinks you may be her soul mate
Now I swear her score was at zero the first time I saw her, so I doubted it was love at first sight but the system was saying otherwise. My theory was when she took my hand to help me get up, Susan felt my sweet guy touch and in her mind thought that was some destiny things and something happened in her head that made her think I may be her soul mate.
It was just a theory because when I shook hand with Amara or any other person nothing happened.
I also thought she will be at this moment and time with Reed Richard, but apparently it wasn't the case.
Then I saw I could still roll the dice, so with a mental command I rolled the dice, and thing got complicated.
Susan Victoria Storm
Status: Single
REP: 65/100
She thinks you are her soul mate.
It went from might to are now. I sincerely didn't know what to do at that time. This situation took me by surprise and I wasn't prepared for such situation. I couldn't try anything at that time because she knew Vanessa is my girlfriend and might think I'm a scumbag and a cheater if I get too friendly with her unless Vanessa help me explain but then her brother was also there, making me hesitate even more.
To be honest I was just too timid and being a pussy.
As Vanessa and I were ready to leave, Susan spoke up.
"Can I invite you both for a meal? To apologize for my brother rudeness." Susan asked with an apologetic smile.
"Sis?!" Johnny whined in disagreement.
I was ready to jump at the opportunity to spend more time with her since it will allow me to figure out what to do with this situation but before I could do that Vanessa already refused.
"Sorry, we have in a hurry, but thank you for the invite."
I was disappointed when I heard that since we were going to eat anyway but Vanessa apparently didn't like the siblings and wanted to leave.
"Can I at least ask for your names?" Susan asked again, she clearly spoke before thinking and looked a bit abashed but when our eyes met, the Storm woman held on the stare though not without a blush painted on her face. Johnny who was standing nearby looked at her dumbfounded.
"Kenan Kang." I replied calmly, trying very hard to maintain my nonchalant face. I was afraid to smile like a retarded pervert.
Vanessa didn't say anything at first and walked toward Susan, Vanessa lowered her head to whisper something into the other women ear and gave her something she took from her bag. The invisible women blushed and took the object before pocketing it. I couldn't hear what they whispered nor saw what she gave her and when I later asked Vanessa about it, she told me it was a surprise.
After saying what she needed to say Vanessa took my arm to leave. As we left I could hear the Storm siblings talk.
"That was impressive sis, doing it in front of her girlfriend like that. I didn't know you had it in you." The human torch said while giving his sister a slight bump into her shoulder. The blonde woman replied him but her voice was so low I couldn't hear it clearly however from a nearby showcase reflection I could see her hit him on his ribcage.
"I'm telling Reed about this." The youngest Storm said.
This was the most I heard before we got too far away. We just left the mall without even eating.
Flashback end
"Are you creeping on the blonde girl again?" The blue mutant said, her eyes not leaving the screen in front of her.
"No, I'm not. I'm looking at the wiki page of Latveria." I replied honestly.
I tried to spy her with SEVEN previous gadgets but I gave up that line of thought when I remembered who else was in that building. Because there's no way Reed Richard didn't set up any kind of defensive measure against spying bugs or others things alike.
I was getting anxious about it and afraid that I will lose all that relationship point that I luckily got but Vanessa told me to chill out. I didn't what she meant by that and since she is my main girl I decided to trust her. It doesn't mean it isn't stressing me out. I even asked SEVEN to help me figure it out, but it was for naught, the AI couldn't see her lips and the phone wasn't close enough to pick up anything.
The only thing that might ease was Vanessa telling me that she'll make the first move, I don't know how she can be so sure but whatever.
Stopping stressing over the Susan problem, I watched the monitor of the mutant and saw her destroying people on the battleground.
"So… are you done with your stupid research and ready to stomp some people on the arena with me?" Vanessa asked as she flamed her team mate on the chat.
"Fuck, I'm the only one doing anything here, these guys sucks." With that said she still received the defeat screen.
I better join her before she starts to go crazy.
After logging in to my account and activating the cheat SEVEN made for me, we went ham. I asked SEVEN to make and undetectable cheat for me, the thing increase my damage by ten per cent. High enough to help and low enough so people don't suspect.
I know that cheating is bad and lame but when you're not that good, you need an edge.
As we were playing in the arena, SEVEN warned us of an intruder.
"Master, an intruder is coming from the roof." The voice came from the speakers connected to my computers.
"How the hell did he get on the roof?" I asked in surprise, after all this is a forty floor building.
"The intruder took a parachute and came down with it."
What kind of guy would go as far as dropping of a plane with a parachute in the middle of the night for me?
"Who is he and what does he want?" I asked SEVEN.
"Sergei Gurkov, an assassin for hire with fifteen confirmed kill. From my analysis, he came to you master." SEVEN reported.
"Get TR-1 here and wait for him to make the first move, maybe he'll talk when he get too confident." I ordered SEVEN.
The robot moved and stood in corner near the entrance where the intruder probably will come. Vanessa and I still continued to play on our respective PC. I wasn't worried for my or Vanessa safety one bit, we both have the energy shield amulet and it was the second version. Now the amulet can detect the direction of the projectile or strike and only launch the necessary energy to block it.
It didn't take long for the assassin to arrive, he was clad in all black and held a handgun with a silencer on it. He pointed the weapon in our direction ready to shoot. He didn't say anything and just shot at us.
I turned around to look at his surprised face and the bullets floating in the air. His aim was good and the bullet flew in direction of our head but it blocked by the amulet energy shield.
SEVEN controlled the TR-1 to crush the gun with its steel hand before throwing it away and bear hugged him with his metallic arms, the assassin couldn't do anything but try to dangling his feet in the air and look like an idiot.
"Tch. I one V'ed two that shit." Vanessa said with full of arrogance as she finished the two other players from the arena while my character lay dead because I didn't move.
"Nobody told me they had robot!" The hired assassin said with clenched teeth as he tried desperately to get out of SEVEN hold on him. His head was red with vein bulging from trying too hard.
"So… who sent you?" I asked the struggling man.
"Fuck you!" he replied back thrashing around without stop, clearly not abandoning hope in escaping the robot hug.
"Does he have a phone?" I asked SEVEN, not wanting to interrogate the man any further. If he has, we should be able to get all the information we need.
"Yes." SEVEN confirmed after inspecting him with the TR-1 eyes.
SEVEN release him of the bear hug only to grab him by the face and lift him up high into the air. The TR-1 used his other hand to get the phone out of Sergei pockets. A cable came off of the robot hand and connected to the hand phone. All SEVEN needed was a few second before she get all the information inside the phone.
"A man named Michael Doran hired him. Michael Doran is currently at the warehouse near the docks."
"Call Robert and tell him to assemble the man. Let's pay him a visit and ask him why the hell he wants to kill me." I turned toward Vanessa to ask her if she wanted to come with us.
"Nah, I'm going to stay here and watch it from the monitor." Vanessa replied back before looking at the assassin that SEVEN was holding. "SEVEN get rid of him please, nobody come here to try to kill my babe without consequence."
"Please! No!" Sergei yelled out in panic desperately trying to free himself from the TR-1, but it was for naught, the robot broke his neck easily.
"How are we going to get rid of the body?" I asked.
"Master, I have an incinerator downstairs."
"Of course you do." I shouldn't be surprised, SEVEN has plenty of equipment downstairs, and even if he didn't have the incinerator she probably would have another thing that could do just as well.
While the TR-1 took the dead body downstairs to be incinerated I went into my room to get a pant and coat before going out.
OOOOO
When all the men assembled and suited their bullet proof suits we departed on our reinforced SUV toward the docks where Michael Doran is.
I decided to take TR-1 with us. We don't really need him but it'll be much easier if he was there and I kind of wanted to see him in action. There's the possibility of drawing attention on me and giving me problems due to having an armed robot seen with me but there's no camera nearby and the people who's going to see it are criminals, I'm not worried about them spreading the word. There's a limit on what criminal mouth to mouth can do.
You could say that it was a calculated risk, but really it wasn't. it was an impulsive on, after all I'm here to have fun and not try hard on whatever the other people try hard to.
The travel to the docks didn't take too long, barely ten minutes passed before we arrived at the warehouse. SEVEN scanned the building and discovered there are thirty seven guys in it. For this I brought most of my men with me, twenty eight of them, the rest stayed to protect the factories.
When you have overwhelming advantage in fire power there is no need to make any complicated plan. So we will just barge in from the front door, the TR-1 at the front, and hold everybody at gunpoint and shoot down anybody who dares to fight back. Except Michael Doran of course, we need alive to question him after all.
"We are here, sir." The driver in my car said as the surrounding cars all stopped.
I got off the car with the TR-1, and saw the men readying themselves. They were wearing their black with white line bullet proof suits and their equally bullet proof helmet equipped with an HUD, the guns they are holding are highly modified rifle with no recoil and increased magazine, all of it made by SEVEN.
"Surround the warehouse firs and then we go in together at once when I give the order. Capture everybody while avoiding lethal force unless needed and don't let anybody escape." Robert briefed his men before they left.
I stood near the front door along with the TR-1, Robert and few other men. When everybody was ready, Robert gave the order to assault.
The TR-1 used the his rifle cannon on his shoulder to blow open the front door, a blue light came off the cannon and blew the gate apart to pieces. Robert and his men rushed in after that, SEVEN rushed with them while I followed closely behind, my handgun was still strapped to waist. Something I doubt I would need to use.
"Hand up where I can see them!"
"Drop you guns down!"
Robert and his men yelled out to Michael's men as they threatened to shoot them. The TR-1 has his hand where the machine guns were and his cannon aimed toward them. Seeing the metallic robot they all got intimidated and dropped their guns but there is always one who is too stupid and brave. One of the thugs who hide at a corner drew his and aimed at me.
I guess I looked the most vulnerable out of the bunch, after all I'm wearing normal clothes with no gun compared Robert and his men.
Too bad for him, SEVEN already saw him and riddled him with holes.
Sadly another one did the same and actually shot toward us, few shot miss, other got blocked by my amulet or bounced off TR-1 armor. The shooter was at the higher stairs where he could have a view on all of us while having a cover to retreat to. After a closer look, he resembled the man I was looking for, Michael Doran.
"He looks like Michael. SEVEN get him alive please." I said to SEVEN.
The TR-1 activated his propulsion system and flew right at the lone gunman. The robot completely destroyed and went right through the cover made of woods. Michael flew a couple meters away from the impact of the TR-1 charge and sprawled on the ground, his gun aimed at the robot and shot it multiple time. All it did was bounce away from the TR-1 armor plating.
"What the fuck are you!? Why did you come here!? What do you want from me motherfucker!?" Michael yelled out and questioned back in fright.
SEVEN didn't respond back and just crush the barrel of his gun before holding by the neck like a kitten and flew down.
Seeing the sight of their colleague death and their leader capture, they all put their hand above their heads. Robert and the rest of the group that rejoined us gathered them all in the main room. They were all on their knees, hands behind their heads with Robert's men keeping an eye on them.
Michael was up in the air, his feet a meter from the ground with the TR-1 holding the back of his neck.
I walked toward Michael but out of arms and feet reach. "So you must be Michael Doran, do you know who I am?"
"Yes, you're the guy who got most of Fisk thing. I know why you are here." Michael answered, which surprised me. I thought he would just throw insult at me until I start torturing him.
"Great, time saved. So… why did you send an assassin after me?"
"If I tell you, will I and my men be spared?" He asked hesitantly, at least he shown some concern for his men, a plus in my book.
"Depends on if you going to be an annoyance or not down in the road." I replied to him and shrugged.
He took a couple minute to think and mull over his head before giving his response. "It was the condition for us to join the Russians, they wanted you dead in case you want to rejoin the underworld continue Fisk work."
What the hell… I thought it was pretty clear that I wouldn't do any underworld stuff when I went legal with the company.
"What is the name of the Russians mob boss?" I asked the stranded man.
"Anatoly and Vladimir Rhanshakov." Two Russians brothers, I remember little of them from the show. Probably small fries.
"What do you plan to do now?" His fate will be based from his response.
"Me and my men will leave the city and lay low for a while. Maybe try our chance in another city." He seemed sincere enough for me.
"Mmh, okay. You're free to go. Don't make me regret this, because if I find out you fucked with me… you're dead." I said and threatened him but I don't think it was very convincing. It doesn't matter because the TR-1 is here and his presence alone is enough to intimidate them.
"Let's go back." I ordered everybody.
SEVEN dropped Michael to the ground and left with me. Robert and his men did the same but they were more cautious and made sure our back was protected.
"If it was me I would have killed him, then I guess it probably doesn't matter." I heard Vanessa said in my ear bud.
It's certainly safer for us if we killed all the men in that warehouse but I don't think I have the heart or the ruthlessness to do it. Even when I played games I tended to spare the guy when given the chance, unless they pissed me off greatly or I read somewhere that they will come back and bite on my ass. Maybe I'm soft, but I asked SEVEN to monitor him in case he didn't keep his word, if he didn't then I will send Robert and his men to finish him.
"I'll will have SEVEN keep an eye on them in case they do something stupid. Now I have to find a way to take care of the Rhanshakov brothers." I replied to Vanessa.
I was mulling in my head on how to get rid of the Russians, maybe I should send Robert and his men along with the TR-1. But Vanessa has a better idea.
"You could always use the cops. I remember seeing a few cops under Fisk paycheck in his ledger and some compromising pictures and videos, we can use them to take care of the Russians for us."
"This is great! We'll do that." I responded happily. All we have to do is to choose the right guy for it and feed him some info that SEVEN will get by spying.
We all went back to our respective cars and drove back to the tower.
OOOOO
Getting the all the info needed and choosing the right person didn't take us more than a few hours. The next day I contacted the police Lieutenant John Doug by sending him a message with a clip of the incriminating video and asked him to meet me in my car. From what I know he couldn't pay for the medical bill from his wife sickness so he took money from Fisk and did some not so pretty things in return, all of it recorded in a video.
When I saw Doug he looked like a man in his forties with graying and balding hair. Clearly a little bit jumpy and stressed. This state makes it easy for me to mess with him a little. I planned to act like a godfather to troll him a bit.
Since I don't smoke I can't pull out the big cigar thing so instead I had prepared spring rolls and some fried chickens ready to be consumed.
"Hello lieutenant Doug." I greeted him casually as I took a bite on a spring roll after dipping it on the sauce.
"Who are you and what do you want." The policemen asked, irritation oozed from his voice.
Finishing my spring roll, I looked right at his eyes and showed no emotion. "You could say that I'm the man who owns you. As for what I want, well, I want you to do something for me." I said to him keeping my voice casual and tried to sound like a crime boss.
I took a huge bite on my fried chicken as I handed him the files on the Rhanshakov brothers. The files also contain information that SEVEN picked up by spying on them, such as their money laundering service or their future illicit weapon sale location. Not enough to put them behind bars yet but enough to annoy or cripple their organization.
"The Russians!? What do you want me to do?" The lieutenant asked as he skimmed through the files.
"Simple, I want you to annoy them by arresting his men, confiscating his illegal merchandise, disrupt his dealing and other things you can think off. I want him to end up behind bars but I much prefer you kill him."
"They are one of the big players, you can't just arrest them. They also have other cops on their payroll." His exclaimed with fear leaking out of his voice. I didn't know that the Russians were already that big of a gang, but didn't matter they're still lacking.
"Chill out, I'm asking you to bust some of his operation to hinder him not outright arrest him and you be alone, Sergeant O'Hara, Walker, Johnson and Sutton will help you out. There's also enough intel in those files to get you started."
Those sergeants have been contacted by phone and paid by me to help the lieutenant. Too bad Fisk didn't have anything on the actual police captain or it'll be even easier.
"I can't do it. It doesn't matter how many you have, it's too dangerous." He told me with hesitation in his voice.
"Did you forget about the part I said I owned you?" I said with a deadpan voice and looked him like he was stupid.
"You can't threaten me, I know who you are kid, and I can bring you down with me if you ever push me in a corner." He said with determination and looked right at me in defiance.
"If you're talking about that recording device you have on you then I'm afraid to tell you that every things on it has been erased."
I already anticipated this might happen so I asked SEVEN to take care of it and in case it didn't work, I have men outside that can take it from him. He thought he got me but at the end he was the one who got played.
I continued to eat my treat as he checked if what I said was true. When he realized I wasn't joking his shoulder slumped and he looked very depressed.
"I heard that lately you've been struggling to pay for your wife medication. Cheer up, here's fifty thousand dollars." I threw a paper bag containing the money at him like it was common cabbage.
He grabbed the bag and gazed at it with need. Even though he couldn't refuse, I think he is now more likely to accept.
"Now that you agreed, let's toast." I handed him a fried chicken wing, he hesitated at first but in the end he took it and then clinked our wings before eating it.
"Now shoo, go back home. I'll be waiting for your news."
He didn't say anything back before leaving with the money and the files.
I have to admit that acting like a crime boss and bully kind of feel good, maybe that why so many villain of them out there.
With this matter deal with I can go back to chill and slowly get richer and stronger.
OOOOO
A few days passed and SEVEN gave me plenty of update concerning the Rhanshakov brothers. Lieutenant Doug did his job pretty well and arrested some of the Russians gang people while confiscating some of their weapons stock. It shouldn't take long before John Doug and his men take care of the rest of Rhanshakov's gangs.
Now I'm on my way back to my building after I bought some drinks at the nearby mall, but during my walk back to home some guy in a suit and sunglass stopped me by pointing a gun at me while hiding it with his coat.
"Mister Kang, follow us without resisting please." The guy who looked like a bodyguard said. I also notice he wasn't alone, two more guy were at my side.
I was surprised that for sure, but not afraid, the amulet I'm wearing could easily block the shot even if he was at point blank range. What I want to know is who the fuck is trying to mess with me again so soon after those guys from the gangs. These guys must be pretty ballsy since we're in the middle of the day and surrounded by people.
"Okay." I agreed as I lifted my hands in surrender.
In the end curiosity won and I followed those guys back to their car. They putted a bad over my head and tied my hands together behind my back.
I'm starting to feel a little bit scared but SEVEN was already aware of what happened. She told Vanessa what occurred and they will assemble the men and then prepare for my rescue, which will happen after we discover who they are and why they're unto us.
The car drove for around fifteen minutes before they ushered me out of the car and led me to their base then to a chair. When they took off the bag on my head I was greeted by a thirty something man with brown eyes and hairs.
"Hello mister Kang, thank you for accepting my invitation." The man said. He was wearing a blue business suit and looked like he was the leader of this group.
"Yeah, you're welcome." I said as I looked around me, it seems that I was in a small base of theirs. The place is pretty bland and simplistic. The room that I'm currently in has only a table and the two chairs we are sitting on, it looks like a cop interrogating room. There are only three people in the room, two guards and the brown haired dude in front of me who look like the interrogator.
"You must be wondering what you're doing here." He said as he pulled picture of the TR-1, it was seems to be taken during the attack on Michael Doran warehouse. "This is yours right?"
Well now I know why they wanted me here, they want the robot. That was unlucky, the first time we used the TR-1 and somebody already caught us. Since there's no point in lying, I admitted.
"Yeah, that's mine."
I doubted they're SHIELD agent since they don't operate that way, my bet is on some big arms company. In this instance, SEVEN is trying to get into their network and get as much information as possible.
"You must be aware that a fully functioning and weaponize android is unseen." He was looking at me intensely, I swear I could see greed in his eyes.
"Really? I swear Tony Stark has one." I exclaimed trying to sound genuine.
"I want it, and you're going give it to me." He said suddenly and harshly, his whole demeanor changed and it sounded more like an order than anything else.
"And how do you propose for me to give it to you?" I really wondered on how he expected me to give it to him.
"You will stay here and draw the design plan for us." He seemed to be serious, but wouldn't be simpler if I just ask somebody to send it to him? Anyway it will buy enough for SEVEN and Vanessa to prepare.
"You don't expect me to draw that in a day do you? People will notice I disappeared." I pointed out to him, though they already knew.
"Don't worry about that, I have your phone. I just send a message to your secretary, you have two days to get it done." He said while showing me my phone was in his hand. They only got my phone and drink, sadly for them they couldn't see the ear bud and the contact lens, and on top of that they left the amulet with me too. I don't blame them, the amulet look like any other silly and sentimental trinket.
"Alright, I'll get it done." This gives me plenty of time for me savior to save me and SEVEN to get all information needed.
"You're awfully calm for somebody in your situation." The man asked suspiciously.
Before I could respond I heard SEVEN from the ear bud. "Master, from the what I found in the police database this man is Eric Williams, he is suspected of participating and leading in multiple gang related crime but never convicted."
My only thought was those it was another goddamn mob boss, I was starting to question on how many of them there are in this city. If this guy is only a mob boss then, I'm afraid to say that I will just kill him off as soon as possible.
"Is there a point for me to resist?" I asked him and to be honest there's really no reason for me to resist right now. Resisting will only anger him and make things harder for me.
"No there is not. I wish everybody were like you, it'll be so much easier." Eric Williams said with a smug smile before motioning one of his men to take me to my room where they expect me to draw to design plan.
"So this is the little genius Eric brought back." I heard a woman said as they were leading me to the room.
Standing on the way is one very seductive woman, black hair with a tint a green on it with beautiful emerald eyes and green lipstick covering her luscious lips. She is wearing tight and form fitting shirt with a leather jacket on top of it and a leather pants hugging her toned legs with mildly heeled boots, all of it in a dark shade of green. All her clothes couldn't hide her very athletic but shapely body and her aura of extreme confidence.
Despite her obsession with the color green this woman is immensely attractive. After being finishing looking down, I looked up to see the status that meant she is a known character.
Ophelia Sarkissian
Status: Single
REP: 0/100
Don't feel anything for you
The man behind grew tired of me standing still so he shoved me forward to tell me to move.
"Can't a man ogle a woman in peace!?" I said in false indignation. I probably shouldn't overdo it because they may start swinging their fist if anger them.
"Shut up you candy-ass." I have no idea where that insult came from and that caught me enough off guard to give him a WTF face.
"What are you looking at? Move!" He said before shoving me again.
Not wanting to escalate things, I did what he asked, but before that I rolled the dice of Ophelia. I couldn't see the result because that guy shoved me again directly past her. I could have turned my head back but since it there's little chance of doing anything, I didn't bother to do it.
They led me to a room with a bed and an office desk with all sort of papers, pencil and a computer. Not exactly what prepared but good enough I guess, I'll just do whatever SEVEN tell to write or draw. I noticed there is a camera in the room, not unexpected but clearly annoying, I'll have to be careful if I want to speak to SEVEN or Vanessa.
Vanessa has been talking in my ears non-stop since I got kidnapped, it was mostly to ask me when are they going to do rescue mission or if I was fine. I couldn't respond to her due to always having people watching over me but now I can, I just have to be careful of not being notice by the camera and talk softly.
After the man who took me here left, I made my way to the desk and commenced my fake work while whispering to Vanessa.
"I'm fine, just be patient. We are still in the middle of the day."
Even though the base is in a fairly unpopular place in the city but SEVEN told me there are still some people in the surrounding, so we have to wait until nighttime before we do anything, and since we're in New York the city that never sleep, we have to wait deep into the night.
Thirty or so minute passed and I'm starting to get thirsty. "Yo! I'm thirsty, can I have some water please." I was also motioning in front of the camera that I'm thirsty in case they didn't hear it.
I sincerely hope they didn't expect me to go two days without drinks and foods or I might just call the cavalry to charge earlier, because I can't handle being hungry or thirsty, if that the case, fuck about being seen by other people and I'll call the men go all in right now.
But thankfully, a few seconds later someone came to give me some water, just not the person I expected. It was Ophelia, the green obsessed bombshell.
After thanking her for the water I returned to my work to give an image of hardworking guy so they don't come to bother while I wait for SEVEN to finish hacking their network. But something weird was happening, the woman didn't leave, and still stood there gazing at me intensely. She was looking at weirdly, and sincerely it was starting to make me uncomfortable and spooky.
"What are you doing?" I asked the woman who is still looking at me.
"Looking at your pretty face." She responded, her voice neutral, not revealing anything.
I decided to look at her status, maybe it'll be more informative.
Ophelia Sarkissian
Status: Single
REP: 100/100
She will follow you in life and in death.
I can't believe I got the lucky roll, one chance in ten thousand and I got it on a beauty like her, though the descriptions look a bit extreme. Let's hope she's not a yandere because I have no idea how to deal with except maybe kill her off.
Now I'm wondering how it works, because somebody can't just go from not feeling anything for you to willing to die for that same person in a span of a second. Maybe she is here to sort her feelings and if she thinks this is some sort of mind control, I just might be screwed. So I'm paying close attention to her REP scores in case it fluctuate, I'll know that she want to kill me or not.
We continued to stare at each other until she started to walk toward me without breaking away her gaze on me. She rotated my chair so I'm facing her and looked right into eyes like she wanted to see my soul. I checked on her status and there was no change, and that made me feel pretty safe until she lifted her hand and suddenly struck me between my legs.
"HAAA!" I shrieked in fear like a little girl and tried back off but it was too late.
When I realized that I didn't feel any pain, I looked down to see the hand is an inch short of touching me, my dick even decreased its size instinctively. "What the fuck are you doing!?" I couldn't help but ask, luckily I deactivated the amulet before this or her strike would have been blocked even though it didn't seem that it was aimed at me.
"It was to warn you that you better do what is asked of you." The green obsessed woman said in a low but neutral tone of voice while keeping eye contact.
"I'm already doing that." I remarked it to her. I'm starting to think she just might be crazy.
"That was a taste of what your punishment could be." Ophelia replied with a seductive smile before plopping her ass onto my lap and sat on it. "And this could be your reward if you're a good boy." She said sultrily in my ears and then proceeded to grind her crotch on my groin.
Her slow and sensual humping instantly gave me erection and she felt it. "Hmm, you like that don't you?" Ophelia whispered softly in my ear before taking my earlobe into her warm mouth and suckle it.
Her hands are roaming all over my body, rubbing and grabbing everything she gets her hands on.
"The hell that bitch is doing?" I heard Vanessa said from my ear bud, she doesn't sound happy. "If I ever get that bitch in my hand, I'm going to make her regret it."
Ignoring Vanessa, I putted my hands on Ophelia's hip. No matter how much I'm enjoying this humping session, I don't like doing it front of a camera where a bunch of dudes are watching. "Stop, there's camera. I don't want to do this." I told her as I tried to push her off me.
Ophelia stopped what was doing and gave me a look, I couldn't quite tell which one, before she stood up and walked toward the camera. She took off her jacket and covered the camera with it before returning to me, but what I didn't foresee was her slapping me hard on the cheek.
"That's for interrupting my fun." The woman clad in green justified. Then she took a chair and blocked the door.
"What the fuck are you doing Sarkissian!" Someone said behind the blocked door, from the voice I could recognize Eric Williams.
"I'm trying to convince him to our cause, Williams. Let me do my thing." Ophelia replied back.
"Don't take too long." The mob boss told her after a couple minute of deliberation and then left.
"So… your name is Sarkissan huh, rather uncommon. What's your full name?" I asked so we can this shit out of the way.
"Just call me Ophelia."
She turned her back on me and sat on my laps again, she grabbed my knees for leverage and started to grind slowly our crotch together. Her supple and toned derriere is pressing on my groin, the friction of our clothes sending jolt of pleasure to my brain.
"I'll have to admit that she has a great ass." Vanessa commented, and I'll have to agree with her. "But I'll still have to teach her who is the main girl." I completely ignored that sentence and concentrated on Ophelia's derriere instead.
Seeing that magnificent bottom moving and rotating, I couldn't help but grasp that soft yet firm ass, and pushed my groin further into her crotch while rubbing along with her. "You like my ass don't you?" Ophelia moaned out.
"This isn't the only thing I like." I replied lecherously as my hands moved upward, going under her shirt and caressed the smooth skin she has underneath. When I touched her bra, I unclasped it smoothly with a quick motion. I had a lot of practice.
With her bra out of the way I palmed her perky soft breast and drew circle around her hardened nipples. I trailed kisses on the side of her neck and explore her ear with my tongue.
All the touching made me want to see her body and twin peaks. "I want to take your shirt off." I whispered huskily in her ear.
She lifted her hand and said, "Go ahead."
Like a man possessed I hurriedly lifted her shirt and bra off. I was greeted by a beautiful and smooth back but the most noticeable detail about her back was her huge tattoo. It looked like an octopus with a skull as a head, it seemed awfully familiar to me but couldn't quite tell why.
"Master, I succeeded in invading their network and examined all of their data. I discovered that they are a small cell of an organization called HYDRA. The knowledge of the TR-1 is limited to this cell due to Eric Williams wishing to earn credit for himself in the eyes of his superior." SEVEN reported.
Now I know why they looked so familiar, it is a goddamn HYDRA tattoo.
"You're HYDRA!?" I yelled out in surprise. It got out of my mouth before I could think.
Ophelia stopped her grinding and slowly turned her head to face me, all semblance of lust were gone from her face. I couldn't tell what she was thinking and as usual I couldn't help but blurt out another word from my mouth before thinking it through.
"Oh shit."
OOOOO
A wild HYDRA appeared. Those guys are everywhere, I swear.
I'll end it here, for today
