Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 217 The Chairman Jumped Off a Building!

At this point, a week had passed since Luca ended the Devil May Cry world.

For safety reasons, after a moment's hesitation, Luca decided to temporarily seal Gina, whose condition was unknown, with the [Dehydration Gun] and keep her with him at all times.

The compressed energy cube created by the [Dehydration Gun] is already in a state of time freeze and isolation from detection.

This adds an extra layer of insurance for both Gina and Luca.

As for the remaining time, besides urging Wang to make progress in researching the information, Luca also spent time organizing the knowledge he gained from the Devil May Cry world, but he didn't actually start making many items.

The fundamental reason is that Luca didn't have any demon materials at the time.

The reason why the Order of the Sword was able to open the Gates of Hell and obtain a massive number of demons to support the 'Return to Heaven Ritual' was that...

That's because they used the top-tier spatial artifact, the 'Yama Blade,' as the key, and other artifacts as the energy core, which allowed them to open the gates without restraint and let demons into the human world.

Although Luca mastered the technology, he lacked the most crucial spatial artifact.

However, Luca already has a pretty good target.

As for the dangers of opening the gates to demons and letting demons into the human world...

'Hmph, if we can use this to lure that old bastard Ancient One back from outside this world, it might not be a bad way to solve our current problems!'

With this in mind, Luca no longer hesitated and immediately gave the order to his AI.

"Hakimi, please contact Miss Justin of Hammer Industries for me. I'd like to speak with her privately about the company shares."

Hakimi: "Understood!"

Two days later, inside Orange House.

"Miss Hammer, it's a pleasure to have you here."

As he spoke, Luca smiled and took two steps forward, his gaze casually sweeping over Justin Hammer's attire.

"You look as beautiful and charming as ever today."

At this moment, Justin Hammer, who was standing in front of Luca, was still dressed in red, but it was just an ordinary custom-made mainline suit.

Hakimi also provided the scan results in a timely manner in the miniature headset.

No traces of magic were detected on the target.

Upon hearing this, Luca's smile deepened.

"Before we get down to business, would Miss Hammer be interested in taking a tour of the Orange Mansion?"

Justin, who was already puzzled by Luca's motives for inviting him today, was taken aback at first, but he nodded slightly and followed Luca, his 'guide,' on a tour of the Orange House.

Meanwhile, on the other side of New York, at the Hammer Industries building.

Although the previous unrest in New York had little impact on Hammer Industries, with only minor damage to the exterior walls compared to the surrounding buildings that had collapsed entirely, it still required repairs.

Among the maintenance workers coming and going, a small white snake suddenly crawled out of one of their toolboxes and followed the ventilation duct all the way to the top floor.

The snake crawled to a blind spot in the surveillance camera on the top floor, where its mouth suddenly opened wide.

Immediately afterwards, a person mysteriously emerged from the snake's body, which was clearly only the size of a finger.

After landing from the ventilation duct, the man ignored the slime on his body and simply formed hand seals with a blank expression.

Then there was a loud 'bang'.

White smoke burst out.

Justin Hammer, who was supposed to be a guest at Orange House, suddenly appeared here.

In the corner, having completed her 'transformation,' Si Bei smoothed the curls behind her ears, then strode towards Justin Hammer's office.

However, before Si Bei could even push open the office door, his ears twitched slightly.

Sure enough, the next moment, another person pushed open the door and walked out of the lounge next door.

The newcomer was taken aback upon seeing the cup, then asked hesitantly, "Justin? Aren't you here today?"

Just as she was speaking, a notification tone sounded in Sibei's earpiece.

"Maya Hansen, former chief researcher at Pioneer Technology and core developer of the Extremis virus, is on the list of key targets. It is recommended that he be arrested and taken away."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Si Bei did not hesitate at all and immediately took a step forward.

With lightning speed, he appeared beside the still somewhat bewildered Maya in an instant, raised his hand and delivered a chop to her neck, knocking her unconscious.

After reaching out to support the unconscious Maya Hansen, Si Bei brazenly picked her up and carried her into Justin Hammer's office.

After casually placing Maya Hansen on the sofa in the office, Sibei walked straight towards the decorative picture frame on one side of the office.

Lift the frame, enter the password on the exposed virtual keyboard, and then use facial recognition and iris scanning.

The next moment, a hidden door slowly opened.

Ignoring the various important documents and cash displayed in the secret room, Si Bei's gaze was firmly fixed on the crimson cloak slowly floating in the glass display case in the very center of the secret room.

However, just as he was about to step forward, put away his cloak, and complete this relatively easy infiltration and theft mission...

Everything was normal at the Hammer Industries Building just moments ago, when suddenly the alarm went off.

A sudden "beep" alarm sounded, and the entire room was filled with flashing red lights.

Seeing this, Si Bei felt a chill run down his spine. He unleashed a burst of chakra and instantly appeared in front of the crimson cloak.

However, just as he shattered the bulletproof glass shield in front of him and his hand was about to touch the crimson cloak, he was about to...

"Bang~"

A cloud of red smoke exploded.

The crimson cloak in front of him vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Si Bei, who had transformed into Justin Hammer, frowned slightly, quickly raised her hand to press her earpiece, and said in a low voice.

"Target disappeared, mission failed, request evacuation."

On the other end of the headset, a response was given just as quickly.

"Agreed to evacuate, take Maya Hansen with you."

Upon receiving the order, Si Bei immediately turned and rushed out of the secret chamber.

Seeing that the metal door of the secret chamber was about to close, Si Bei drew a long sword from somewhere and swung it repeatedly.

The seemingly heavy alloy door appeared as nothing under the chakra-infused blade light.

After a few 'swish' sounds, a gap large enough for a person to pass through was opened up.

Si Bei rushed out of the secret room without even pausing its forward momentum.

He then scooped up the unconscious Maya Hansen from the sofa, smashed through the office's floor-to-ceiling glass, and leaped out of the building.

Looking at the shattered glass scattered all over the ground and the red figure emerging from the broken window.

The two security guards who had just arrived at the scene were stunned. After a few seconds of blankness, they looked at each other in horror and stammered in disbelief.

"Was that the chairman just now???"

Another security guard.

"Wait, this is the 330th floor?!"

The two then cried out in alarm.

"Holy crap!! The chairman jumped off a building!!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two security guards, who were already trembling with fear, scrambled to the broken French windows.

But looking down now, where can you see the figure that broke through the window earlier?
