Evening, after work.
Everyone gathered in the company's restaurant, preparing for a meal.
Jessica Jones, Claw Woman, Kimiko, Mister Negative, Female Winter Soldier, Miranda Tate, Selina Kyle, Aunt May.
And the newly joined Power Woman, Godiva, and Killer Frost today.
Of course, Samuel wouldn't favor one over the other. Dottie Underwood, White Queen, Matsumoto Maki, Nine-Spider Maiden, and Bane from the headquarters were also brought over by him using a portal.
These people were the current core members of Void Express Company!
They came from different timelines and different Worlds, and now they were gathered together under his command, which made Samuel sigh with emotion and feel a little proud.
There were two purposes for this gathering.
One: To introduce Power Woman, Godiva, and Killer Frost to everyone, and to use this opportunity for the people from the headquarters and the branch to get to know each other.
Two: To understand the progress of the headquarters and the branch, as well as the situation of the overall environment.
S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA, The Hand, and other organizations and individuals, big and small, who knew how many eyes were watching Void Express!
Amidst the eating and drinking, the atmosphere quickly became lively and relaxed.
What Samuel didn't expect the most was Power Woman.
This girl, also known as You Rong or Xuan Ran, had just complained that he didn't keep his word, saying he would let them deal with the Speedster, but then turned around and took them to another World.
Immediately after, like a mood-setter, she greeted everyone one by one, challenged them to drinking contests, and boldly declared her alien identity.
To put it nicely, this was enthusiastic and honest. To put it harshly, this was being careless!
White Queen came and sat down beside Samuel.
"I have a few things here."
"Tell me."
White Queen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "It's mainly related to the Super Soldier Serum. S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA, General Thaddeus Ross of the Military, and the Red Room have all probed, either openly or secretly."
Void Express headquarters had at least several hundred Super Soldiers in Madripoor, which was a lawless area. It was completely normal for people to come knocking.
After all, neither the headquarters nor the branch had deliberately concealed the existence of Super Soldiers, especially the headquarters, which had cultivated hundreds of Super Soldiers in a short period. Who could remain indifferent?
One Captain America had elevated the Super Soldier Serum to a divine status, and countless people and forces fought tooth and nail for it.
You suddenly appeared and mass-produced Super Soldiers like wholesale cabbage, with a 100% success rate!
Any force or individual with a bit of ambition would take action!
The focus was not on taking action, but on what kind of action they took!
"Who's courting death?" Samuel asked with a smile.
White Queen said with a smile, "General Ross is also conducting a Super Soldier program, but the progress is not going smoothly, and he is urgently hoping to obtain a complete serum for research and analysis."
Urgent meant that strong-arm tactics were used!
General Ross was a typical American thinker, to put it bluntly, he considered the United States the World's overlord, and all good things had to belong to the United States.
What?
You say this thing is not ours, the United States?
Hehe, I now suspect that the things you possess are a threat to us. Either hand over the things, or we will eliminate you and take them ourselves!
You choose to hand over the things?
No way!
What if you secretly manufacture a second one later?
We must ensure that the same thing doesn't happen again, so I'm sorry, we must eliminate you!
Justice and morality? Propriety and integrity?
Sorry, we don't talk about that, we only talk about whose fist is bigger!
Damn, disgusting!
"Do I need to..." White Queen asked Samuel for instructions, making a throat-slitting gesture.
Samuel smiled and shook his head: "Normal engagement is fine, just use him as a stepping stone for Void Express, kill the chicken to warn the monkey!"
White Queen readily complied, she also knew that status was earned through battles, and without a few tough fights, there would always be those who don't know any better and think they are soft persimmons, wanting to pinch them a few times.
"What's the situation with Red Room?" Samuel asked again.
White Queen said: "They sent two little Black Widows undercover, playing the long game to catch a big fish, wanting to steal the Super Soldier Serum formula."
Samuel pouted: "It's Red Room's old tradition."
"I'll give you a few doses of the serum later, you can arrange it as you see fit."
"Okay."
White Queen nodded, got up and prepared to leave, after all, there were so many people here, and it wasn't good for her to keep 'occupying' the spot.
Just as she was about to get up, she suddenly thought of another matter, and sat down again.
"There's one more thing, have you heard of the Ten Rings Gang?"
Samuel raised an eyebrow: "The Ten Rings Gang is also getting involved?"
White Queen said: "The boss of the Ten Rings Gang sought me out, his name is Wenwu, he's also an Easterner, and he wants to buy a batch of Super Soldier Serum."
"His weapons are very interesting and very strong."
"I checked his identity and found that he is very extraordinary!"
Samuel became interested and motioned for her to elaborate.
White Queen slowly narrated the content of her investigation.
Wenwu's deeds can be traced back as early as 1023 AD, when he obtained the Ten Rings, the power of the Ten Rings granted him immortality and gave him immense power.
Regarding the Ten Rings, some say he picked them up in a volcano, while others say they were stolen from a tomb.
There are various theories, with no definitive conclusion.
Wenwu used the power of the Ten Rings to form the Ten Rings Gang and conquer everywhere.
...
King of War, Master Khan, over thousands of years, he has had countless names.
It wasn't until 1996 that Wenwu suddenly disbanded the Ten Rings Gang, put away the Ten Rings, and lived a normal life.
He married and had children.
Not long ago, when he was out, his enemies came knocking, killing his wife, and only then did he put on the Ten Rings again and reassemble the Ten Rings Gang.
The reason he wants the Super Soldier Serum is to quickly enhance the combat power of the Ten Rings Gang members in a short period!
After White Queen finished speaking, Samuel's evaluation of Wenwu was just two words.
Serves him right!
His thousands of years of conquest were just nonsense, according to the information White Queen investigated, he only disbanded the Ten Rings Gang in '96.
But before he disbanded it, which territory belonged to the Ten Rings Gang?
To take a step back, you kill but don't bury, you only like to conquer but not to manage.
Okay!
He wanted a normal life and disbanded the Ten Rings Gang.
That's also fine!
But after operating a gang for thousands of years, you say you're disbanding it, and you don't have a single person by your side?
Also, years of conquest are bound to create enemies everywhere, before you disbanded the Ten Rings Gang, people didn't dare to seek revenge, now that the Ten Rings Gang has been disbanded so thoroughly by you, can people still remain indifferent?
The most ridiculous thing is, even if you wash your hands of the underworld, you should at least keep a few trusted subordinates to protect your family, right?
But you didn't keep a single one.
Don't say you've lived for thousands of years, don't say you've conquered for thousands of years, even a mafia boss who washes his hands knows to leave himself a way out and protect his family!
Look at you now, your wife is dead, right?
What a tragic death!
