Warlock of the Marvel Universe

Chapter 400 Adrian

It's still daytime here in Eastern Europe, but it's already dark in New York.A single-family villa in Brooklyn. The area is not too big, just a little bigger than Evanson's fortress.

But this is not the key. People who can afford to live in this kind of house must be a middle class person, and they are definitely not people who worry about supporting their families. At least that was the way it used to be.

Now, Adrian, the owner of this house, sat alone at the table in the living room after his wife and daughter fell asleep. His eyes were bloodshot and there was an untrimmed beard on his face. This shows that his current condition is very bad.

Of course it's like this, because he's bankrupt.

He mortgaged all his assets to the bank and invested all the money he received into the team, hoping to make a fortune from the cleanup work of the Chitauri, but unfortunately Tony Stark turned out and made All his investment was in vain.

But the bank doesn't care about your variables. You pledged the money and I gave you the money. I didn't put a knife on your neck to force you to borrow, so don't blame me for setting the interest rate relatively high, or because you can't pay me back. Just take your house.

Therefore, poor Adrian Xi can understand that he may not be able to live in this villa for a few days, and the bank will take it away soon, and the little money he has left is only enough to rent a house. You can get a small apartment with a roof over your head, and you can only go to Queens.

I don’t know why, but among New York City boroughs, the louder the names, the worse they are, and Queens is the one with the loudest names.The most important thing is that although people in Queens and Brooklyn are not hateful, they are somewhat dissatisfied.Adrian himself didn't care about this, but he was afraid that his little daughter would be affected and be led astray or bullied by those in Queens.

Thinking of this, he grabbed his hair twice.It’s better not to think about such in-depth issues now, but to think about how to eat in the future.

Ding Dong

Just when Adrian was distressed, her doorbell rang suddenly, which surprised him. Who would come to handle his poor settlement in the middle of the night? Even if the bank came to collect the house, it would be too urgent.

He stood up to open the door, but before that he opened the drawer, took out his pistol and hid it behind his waist.This gun is considered to be the most valuable thing among the things he owns now. Considering the poor security in the United States and the frightening probability of armed robbery, he wisely did not sell this gun.

Adrian stood cautiously behind the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Toombs, we are here to negotiate a deal with you. Can you let us in?" The person speaking outside was obviously a man. His words were polite, but his tone was very calm.

"Are you here to discuss business in the middle of the night?" Adrian obviously didn't believe what the other party said. "Whoever you are, please leave quickly, or I will call the police."

"Mr. Toombs, we originally wanted to come during the day tomorrow, but considering that it will be very busy at that time." The person outside the door did not leave but continued, "The bank clerk will definitely take up most of your energy. "

Adrian hesitated a little. Although he still had doubts about the purpose of the person outside the door, it would always be good if he could have more money when he left here.

So he decided to take a chance.He always likes to take risks. If he wasn't like this, he wouldn't put all his wealth into the previous one.

Project won.

Adrian held the gun in his hand and opened the door. Directly outside was a bald black man in a suit and leather suit, carrying a suitcase. "Who are you?"

"My name is Luther, and I'm here to negotiate a deal on behalf of Gospel Company." The black man introduced.

"Gospel Company" Adrian said uncertainly after thinking about the name for a while, "Is it the medical device manufacturing company that was registered just two days ago?"

"Exactly." Luther nodded and said.

Adrian thought about it for a moment and then said, "Okay, come in with me."

As he led Luther into the living room, he gestured around and explained, "I've been in a bit of a slump lately. I don't have much to entertain. Don't mind. Oh." At this point, he found that he still had a gun in his hand, so he put it He put the gun back in the drawer and said with some embarrassment, "You know the night in America."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Luther walked across from Adrian indifferently.

"So Mr. Luther, what are you going to talk to me about? It means that I don't have any medical skills." Adrian said very honestly.

"I know that our company not only conducts research on medical devices, but we are also interested in all kinds of talents." Luther nodded and said, "Our company wants to hire you to join our research team."

"Research team, are you kidding me?" At this time, Adrian never thought that he could be involved in scientific research.

"Of course not." Luther put the suitcase on the table with an expressionless face and opened it. Inside was a neatly stacked pile of banknotes, which looked like almost 100 million U.S. dollars. Adrian's expression changed drastically. But it’s not because of the money, but because there is a pistol placed on top of the money. “Do you accept our offer, sir?”

The banknotes and pistol seemed to be the means used by gang members to threaten jurors and witnesses. Adrian regretted a little and put the pistol back in the drawer.But a trace of anger also ignited in his chest. Stark Industries is a big company. Just a while ago, he messed up his job and ruined his life, and now another company is coming. Hire your own, but that comes with a threat.

"Is it difficult to choose, sir?" Luther still looked expressionless, leaning on the back of the sofa, not afraid at all. Adrian Hui picked up the pistol in the box and pointed it at him, "Which one do you want, money or bullets?"

"Why should I choose?" Adrian suddenly growled, "Why are people like you like this? To big companies and conglomerates like you, little people like us are simply insignificant, right? We can drive away threats at will, right?" wrong"

"Of course, I think so." Luther didn't care that Adrian in front of him was a little out of control, but nodded and admitted directly.

"Why?" Adrian stood up angrily, "I invested all my money in my career, but Tony Stark took everything away. Do you think this is fair?"

"Unfair, very unfair." Luther slowly shook his head, looked directly into Adrian's eyes and said, "If it is really fair, it is you and your team who were sent by Tony Stark. Kill the mercenary who cleans up the scene, and then he takes away all the loot you unearth. But everyone else thinks this is natural, and this is called fairness."
