Where are Blink and Bone Marrow?" Su Zhan asked casually.
"They're at S.H.I.E.L.D.," Chen Haoran explained the events of the past few days. Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. naturally had no objection to Blink's proposal to buy an island on the West Coast. He could even make the decision to give the island to Su Zhan without a single cent, but he made a small request: he hoped to research the spaceship. However, he was very clever; he didn't say S.H.I.E.L.D., but rather hoped to let Tony research it!
Firstly, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology in this area might not be stronger than Tony Stark's. Secondly, Tony, also known as Iron Man, is a member of the Avengers. The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. have a close relationship. By having Tony step forward, he could both obtain the spaceship's data and technology, and reduce certain misunderstandings!
"Just burying one's head in the sand!"
Su Zhan curled his lips after hearing this.
"Tell Blink, if Nick Fury doesn't agree, we'll buy it ourselves. We don't need to go through him. As for researching my spaceship, no way!"
"Yes!"
Chen Haoran responded and quickly contacted Blink.
At this moment, Blink was negotiating with Nick Fury when she suddenly heard Chen Haoran's message. Blink stood up decisively and said, "Sorry, our BOSS said we'll handle this ourselves. We won't trouble S.H.I.E.L.D.!" With that, Blink opened a teleportation portal, preparing to leave.
Blink's sudden action surprised Nick Fury. He could tell there was likely no possibility of further negotiation. Although he resented Su Zhan's stinginess, he didn't want to affect Su Zhan's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. over such a small matter.
"Wait!"
Nick Fury called out to Blink and said, "Alright, I'll help with the island matter and handle it as quickly as possible. Please tell Su Zhan that he owes me a favor this time. If S.H.I.E.L.D. needs his help in the future, he can't refuse!"
"I'll tell him!"
Blink said, then left through the teleportation portal.
Blink returned and relayed Nick Fury's words to Su Zhan. Su Zhan couldn't help but curl his lips. Nick Fury, that old fox, was truly something. Seeing that the spaceship matter was impossible, he immediately changed his strategy, making Su Zhan owe him a favor. One must know that favors are more valuable than money!
But never mind, with him stepping in, Su Zhan could also avoid a lot of trouble.
Moreover, he still needed to leave a good impression with S.H.I.E.L.D. now.
He was also planning to recruit people after HYDRA occupied S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.H.I.E.L.D. disintegrated.
Having a good reputation would naturally make things much more convenient.
"Take me to see that island!"
Su Zhan gave the order, and the Dark Elves steered the spaceship towards the island on the West Coast.
Indeed, the island's area was quite large, and it was undeveloped. The only drawback was its remoteness, but for the Base, this disadvantage became an advantage, especially with the convenience of the spaceship. Initially, Su Zhan had considered moving the island closer to the city if necessary, but now… Su Zhan felt this was the place!
"Let the spaceship stay here. This is about 800 million U.S. dollars, which should be enough to construct and develop this island. You all handle this matter during this time. Chen Haoran, you come with me." Su Zhan took out all the money and gold bars and threw them on the ground, piled up like mountains. Under the sunlight, the gold bars sparkled, leaving Blink and the other two dumbfounded.
They were especially curious where Su Zhan had put these things before. How did he just conjure them out of thin air?
But curious as they were, no one pressed him.
"BOSS, where are you going? Do you need me to take you?" Blink asked.
Su Zhan shook his head, slowly raised his hand, and the Aether Ring instantly emitted energy, enveloping Chen Haoran. Immediately after, Su Zhan slowly flew up, and Chen Haoran also ascended with him. The two transformed into a dark green ball of light, instantly disappearing into the air…
Chapter 0061: Aether 'War' Suit
"Thud!"
Su Zhan slowly landed and put Chen Haoran down. As soon as he landed, Chen Haoran nearly collapsed to the ground. Looking at Chen Haoran's disheveled appearance, Su Zhan shook his head and smiled, his gaze fixed on the distance ahead! That was a secret laboratory, specifically used to research the variant Centipede Virus of the Extremis.
"Where is this?" After Chen Haoran felt a bit better, he curiously looked ahead.
"This is a place that can make you stronger!"
Su Zhan looked at Chen Haoran, and the Aether Particle from the Aether Ring suddenly flowed out, rapidly spreading from his palm. Moments later, it had enveloped his entire body, forming a tight black stream of light combat suit. A black cape on his shoulders swayed in the wind, and a large 'War' character appeared on his back, both striking and domineering.
"So cool!"
Chen Haoran looked at the combat suit that suddenly appeared on Su Zhan and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Later, make a few sets based on this style to serve as the War Alliance's uniform combat suits!" Su Zhan was also very satisfied. This was a combat suit formed from Aether Particle. Because of the lantern ring, there was no need to worry about the Aether Particle absorbing his energy, and it could also function effectively.
Whether it was for defense or attack, it was top-notch, and most importantly, it was convenient. With a thought, the combat suit instantly disappeared, returning to the lantern ring. With another thought, it quickly reappeared on his body, all within two or three seconds.
"Let's go!"
With a faint remark, Su Zhan had already walked towards the laboratory. Chen Haoran followed closely, curious and nervous, wondering what here could make him stronger.
As soon as they arrived at the laboratory entrance, before they even entered, a group of burly men holding guns rushed out. Chen Haoran was slightly nervous, but seeing the calm Su Zhan, he relaxed. With the BOSS here, what was there to fear!
Click, click, click, the sound of high heels approached, and a woman in a floral dress elegantly walked out, looking at Su Zhan and gently clapping her hands, saying, "I didn't expect to see you here!"
She stared at Su Zhan and Chen Haoran beside him. Although she appeared confident, she was actually slightly nervous inside. She knew very well who the person in front of her was: Su Zhan, a recently renowned individual with the Ability to devour and perfectly fuse with Extremis. In fact, she had always wanted to contact, and even capture Su Zhan, to research the reason he could fuse with Extremis, but… Su Zhan's strength was too great, and she never had a chance to act.
She just didn't expect Su Zhan to come knocking on her door.
And he seemed to already know what kind of place this was!
It seems the rumors are true; he seems to have the Ability to foresee the future!
"Are you surprised to see me, or surprised to see Chen Haoran? If I hadn't interfered, Chen Haoran would probably have been tricked here by you and researched, wouldn't he, Reina?" Su Zhan looked at her and said calmly.
Reina smiled: "Actually, I'm more surprised by your outfit. It's very unique!"
"Thank you!" Su Zhan said with a smile.
"We can cooperate. I know you're a consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., but not actually part of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I hear you've started working on your own? If we can cooperate, I believe we can have better development, don't you agree?" Reina said with a smile.
Su Zhan shook his head: "Cooperation is unnecessary, because I have a better suggestion!"
"What suggestion?"
"I'm taking you over!"
As Su Zhan's words fell, his psychic attack instantly activated. In an instant, the people around him were unable to move, and their guns fell from their hands, neatly placed to one side!
"Where is the Extremis?"
Su Zhan asked the panicked Reina.
Reina hesitated a bit, but her body involuntarily lifted, and she instantly found it difficult to breathe.
"I know you are a smart and capable person. In fact, I think highly of you. You have no superpowers yet can do many things others cannot, so… I don't want to kill you," Su Zhan said calmly.
Reina was unable to move, only barely blinking her eyes. Then she felt her body lighten, rubbed her neck, and took several deep breaths before leading Su Zhan into the laboratory.
The laboratory was a busy scene, with various machines and researchers in white coats, giving Su Zhan a sense of awe-inspiring mystery.
When it came to scientific research, Su Zhan was truly not skilled!
