Chapter 1512: Encountering Roxxon Once More

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Transl ations

Was it Malick? Or was it Strucker? Or even.. Pierce? Names popped into

Garretts head.

It could be any one of them, but there wasnt enough motive.

To put it simply, it wouldnt be beneficial for them to take action. filose on the

inside tended to stay in their own lanes.

The world was so big; there was plenty of room for everyone to expand. Ihere

was no need for them to enter someone elses territory right now.

Furthermore, Lamar wasnt Garretts alone; there was someone else involved

with the Death Soldier prototype.

Technically speaking, Garrett only had part of the technology and the right to

use it. Any subsequent development was the other persons business.

Now that Lamar was gone, Garrett had to give an explanation.

Although he had kept his ident.i.ty secret during this collaboration, Garrett

didnt want to provoke an enemy of this level. It would be too troublesome.

Thinking this, Garrett curled his lip. He would see who stirred up trouble with

the other side! Ihere were some secrets that shouldnt be touched.

Thinking that, Garrett poured himself a cup of coffee and paid attention to his

computer.

Luke found his first target, only to discover that the man was already in the

Slipped off so quickly. He curled his lip and went to the residence of the

second target, only to see a beautifully made-up woman about to leave.

She was a 40-year-old lady who was a department manager at a trading

company. She was responsible for the transportation and storage of various

Since she was a woman, there was no reason for Luke to hesitate.

After Luke knocked her out, he used Pheromone Control, and she woke

up, she spat out everything she knew.

But this person wasnt very valuable.

She was a criminal, but all she knew was that she was helping someone

transport illegal goods. She never looked too deep into it.

It could be said that she was very smart.

Because she knew too little, she was worthless.

Luke cursed inwardly, knowing that he had run into a low-ranking target.

But that couldnt be helped. He only had a few targets that he could locate for

This was DC. , and too big a move might draw the attention of the authorities.

In particular , some of the people on the list were probably at gatherings of

influential figures at the moment; looking for each one would be wasting a lot

of time.

Luke could only go through the easy targets first.

Those people werent in a hurry.

They were rich and powerful; how could they just disappear? They would lose

decades worth of hard work

Their ident.i.ty was both a s.h.i.+eld and a shackle; they had to bear its weight in

order to protect themselves.

The third target was an electrical engineer called Todd McCerson, who had

once helped Lamar debug and fine-tune the machinery.

When Luke found the engineer, Todd had just driven away.

Thankfully, there were fevver people in DC. , and it was a cold winters night, so

Luke was able to track the driver by his scent.

Just as Luke was about to stop Todds car, two black SUVs suddenly turned

around and forced Todd to stop.

IWo men in black hoods got out of an SUV , got Todd into their car, and left.

Luke raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence.

He didnt touch them.

Engineer Todd wasnt a bad guy. At the very least, the system had judged him

to be a neutral yellow.

He was basically just a technician.

It was just like how the staff and workers who helped Starks vwapons division

build missiles in bulk werent villains just because they built the missiles.

Luke hadnt planned to eliminate this engineer Todd; he was just an informant.

Now, this information source had lured out a bunch of fully armed individuals.

Todd had done a great job.

Luke followed the two SUVs to a factory in the outskirts. He didnt follow them

inside.

There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the factory.

It wouldnt be easy to sneak in silently.

Besides, there was no need for him to do so. With all the activity going on in

such a large factory, there would inevitably be more clues left behind. Why

would he rush in now and alert the enemy?

After asking the A1. to quickly check the database, he frowned.

He saw a very familiar name Roxxon Energy.

This company wasnt a small fry, but a super corporation that permeated the

daily lives of Americans.

To give the simplest example, anyone who refueled their car would, three to

five times out of ten, see the ROXXON sign on the gas pump.

The company had indeed been called Oil at the beginning, but had been

renamed Roxxon Energy; its ambitions were obvious.

This company was quite famous in Lukes eyes.

It was the biggest obstacle to Tony entering the energy industry.

The father of Tandy Bowen, the original ovmer of Light of Life, had been held

responsible for the accident on the oil rig. Everything that his uidow and

daughter had kiere seized, leaving them with nothing.

In addition, Roxxon had unclear ties to the Hand.

The biggest partner of Black Sky Elektras fathers company was Roxxon, and

they had worked together to manufacture biological pharmaceuticals.

Elektras father had been dead for years, so after Luke imprisoned Elektra,

Rouon actually swallowed up the company.

In addition, NIatt and Foggy left their interns.h.i.+ps at a top-rate law firm uhen

Rouon Corporation wanted them to counter sue a terminally ill worker.

From these things, it wasnt hard to see that Corporation was ruthless,

and wasnt just limited to the field of energy.

Instead, they used energy as a foundation to extend into more industries.

For example, they had subsidiaries or holdings which manufactured machine

components, processed food ingredients and constructed

-end

neighborhoods.

At the same time, the company invested a fair amount in clean energy,

cutting-edge materials, biopharmaceuticals, and so on.

As a giant capitalist corporation, it certainly wasnt stupid enough to invest

directly.

It used all sorts of means to acquire shares in many small companies just

before the latter reaped the fruits of their labor.

Whether it sold the shares or completely annexed the company depended on

how big the benefits were.

In this respect, Jennys t.i.tanium Phone Company was as pure as a newborn

angel.

Even Stark Industries had boundaries.

Roxxon Corporation, on the other hand, was a model of a big capitalist. It

wasnt wrong at all to describe it with words like ruthless, cruel and

tnalicious.

It was just that most ordinary people wouldnt hear the negative press on the

company.

If Hydra was a poisonous nine-headed viper that could cause large numbers of

innocent deaths each time, Roxxon Corporation was a ferocious jackal which

needed to constantly hunt down the weak in order to live more comfortably.

Thinking for a moment, Luke set up a surveillance camera at an intersection

near the factory and left.

It didnt matter what role Roxxon played in this.

The important thing was that it was a crop field which he would harvest sooner

or later, so he just ignored it this time..
