A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Cao Gui's current physical condition no longer requires much sleep; two or three nights are enough for him to recover from mental fatigue.

So after moving here, he never stopped going for a morning run.

Just then, a curvaceous figure came into his view. It was Jane... his neighbor John Smith's wife, the wife-killer who had the same face as Firefox.

Cao Gui's expression turned serious, and he looked at the figure in front of him with a serious yet appreciative gaze.

Cao Gui stated that he had absolutely no improper thoughts about the woman in front of him... cough cough, she was his neighbor. It was simply that there were too many bad people in this world, and Cao Gui had no choice but to stay by this vulnerable woman's side to protect her.

Perhaps noticing Cao Gui's gaze, Jian, who was also jogging ahead, slowed down. Seeing this, Cao Gui knew he had been discovered, so he went up to her and started a conversation.

Good morning, Mrs. Smith.

"Good morning, Cao... You can just call me by my name, it's too long."

“Okay, Jane.”

"Where's John? He usually goes for his morning run around this time, why haven't I seen him today?"

"He's on a business trip in Los Angeles. He's a hydraulic engineer who needs to conduct seismic tests on a dam..."

“Sounds good.” Cao Gui casually remarked. Having read the original novel, he knew that John Smith was an assassin and the so-called hydraulic engineer was just a cover.

I guess this assassin has gone off to carry out another assassination mission somewhere.

"This job is alright, it's just that the business trips are a bit long." Jane pouted and complained for no apparent reason.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow but didn't answer. It was clear that she was somewhat dissatisfied with John's long absence.

Just then, Jane's phone rang. Cao Gui didn't stop running; he just kept going. A brief, loud greeting would suffice; there was no need to get entangled with the underachiever.

After all, he was Cao Cao, not Cao the Traitor.

As the sun rose, it was time for school. Cao Gui finished washing up, got dressed, and drove to school.

As soon as he parked the car, the door opened a short distance away, and Harry got out.

"Good morning, Harry... Hmm? You don't look too good."

“Something happened to a friend of mine,” Harry said slowly, his face darkening.

"He was a very skilled hacker. We were chatting and he suddenly went offline. At first, I thought he had some personal matters to attend to, but I found out last night that he was dead."

Cao Gui looked surprised. Hackers are usually shut-ins or cavemen; they don't leave their computer desks unless there's an earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, or a community outreach event.

"what's the situation?"

"The small private server overloaded and exploded. He was sitting in front of the computer when half of his body was gone."

"A server...can explode?" Cao Gui asked in surprise. That thing doesn't have the characteristic of rapid combustion, does it?

Harry shook his head: "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics either; this is the North Carolina State Police's assessment."

"Hey boys, how was your weekend?"

A female voice sounded from behind them. Harry and Cao Gui turned around and saw Lucy.

“Lucy…you seem very happy,” Cao Gui asked, puzzled.

Cao Gui had planned to take her with him on the treasure hunt, but for some reason, her phone was always switched off and he couldn't get through to her, so he gave up on the idea.

"Of course, I moved and got a new phone number. Remember it later," the girl said with a smile.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, puzzled. Why move house when everything is fine? Besides, can't we just buy a few more houses so we can live wherever we want?

Cao Gui glared at him and said, "You capitalist, have you forgotten how pathetic you looked when you were broke?"

“John kept harassing me, I got annoyed, so I moved and changed my phone number,” Lucy said irritably.

"Someone is harassing you? Shouldn't you just beat them up?" Little Green Demon asked, puzzled. He knew how fierce this girl was; she might beat you up if she just didn't like you, let alone harass you.

“Harry, that man named John… he might be her father,” Cao Gui said softly, coughing twice.

"Damn it, how do you know?" Lucy kicked Cao Gui in annoyance. He knew about the bad luck her family had encountered in Los Angeles last time, and now he knew about the dispute between her and her own father. Was he trying to kill her?

"Miss FBI." Cao Gui chuckled, recalling the image of the balding New York police officer.

To be honest, Cao Gui really admires John McKellen. Counting the villains he has taken down along the way, there is Professor Snape and his brother Alfred, as well as the famous bald assassin 47, whose name is known throughout the world.

To be able to defeat so many formidable opponents, you can imagine how strong this guy's fighting ability is.

Of course, McClain's fighting strength is not at its peak yet, after all, he hasn't lost all his hair.

If he loses everything, he might be able to hook up with a cute girl, find Lucy a stepmother, and then fight alongside his old agent friend, shooting RPGs with a pistol or something.

“Oh, right, Cao,” Harry suddenly said, “I heard Gwen has become Dr. Connors’ intern. How about you come and intern at our company? It would be very helpful for choosing a university later.”

------------

Chapter 140 Gwen... the Spider!

Our company... Oh right, I have shares in Osborn, Cao Gui came to his senses and remembered that he had become a wicked rich man.

“So, you’re going to intern at your own company, Mr. Shareholder?” Harry asked.

"This..." Cao Gui scratched his head, thought for a moment and then refused. He needed to spend some time cultivating, so he could skip the internship. Anyway, with his current grades, getting into a good university was no problem, and he didn't want to waste any more time on it.

“Alright, boys, we’re here. We can stop this now,” Lucy said.

Only then did the two realize that they had unknowingly arrived at the classroom.

Before long, the school bell rang, but instead of the expected teacher, a middle-aged, refined man with a missing hand and Gwen arrived.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow in surprise. This was Dr. Connors. He was originally a military doctor who lost an arm on the battlefield. He then returned to specialize in stem cell regeneration and is also one of the world's leading herpetologists.

"Students, I'll take up a little of your time," Dr. Connors said with a gentle smile.

"I'm currently recruiting interns, and I've already found one, this is Gwen Stacy sitting next to me. There are two spots left. If any of you are interested, you can let her know. If your knowledge level is satisfactory, you can become my intern."

After saying this, Dr. Connors left, while Gwen returned to her seat. This was the last classroom they needed to come to.

“Gwen, when did you become Dr. Connors’ intern?” Beth leaned closer and whispered.

“Just before we begin our treasure hunt,” Gwen laughed.

"Then you must be working very hard every day."

"It's alright... but there's not much free time left." Gwen frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy. "I have to help out at Dr. Connors' lab after school, so I probably won't be home until nine o'clock."

Upon hearing this, Beth, who had been feeling a bit bored, suddenly brightened up. Ah... does that mean Cao is the only one at home?

Beth rubbed her hands together and chuckled. "Gwen, finally there's a time when you're not around!"

On the other side, Cao Gui suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if someone had ill intentions towards him, but when he looked around, he found nothing.

"Am I being paranoid?" Cao Gui scratched his head, dismissing it as a misperception. Soon, the teacher came to start the lesson, interrupting Cao Gui's doubts.

The process of acquiring knowledge is joyful, but also fleeting. Soon, the day is over, and the afternoon bell rings to signal the end of get out of class.

“Honey, I’m leaving now. See you tonight.” Gwen and Cao Gui waved and drove towards the Osborne Building.

Come home early tonight.

"I know~"

Cao Gui smiled, turned around and walked towards the parking lot, but as soon as he entered the underground parking lot, a car next to him opened its door.

Cao Gui looked and saw it was Beth.

"Are you home alone tonight?" Beth smiled sweetly, her eyes holding a meaningful look.

"Aha?"

"Come on, let's go to my place!"

"why?"

"Hmph! You appointed me as chairman," Beth snorted angrily.

"so what?"

"I want my salary! You can't just leave me with nothing!" Beth said without waiting for a reply, pulling Cao Gui directly into the car.

"You drive." Beth pushed Cao Gui into the driver's seat.

"Then what are you doing?"

"Of course, we'll collect some interest first." Beth smiled slightly and got into the passenger seat.

Cao Gui: "..."

I'm driving, and you're driving, but you can't drive while I'm driving!

……

A gentle breeze blew through the night, making it slightly chilly; the temperature was a bit low tonight. (Gu Ya)

Inside an old, large warehouse, a large truck converted into a campervan was parked. A stunningly beautiful Asian woman, wearing a headset, was sitting in front of a computer operating it.

"Madam, I have transferred the program to you," a voice came through the headset.

"Receiving, thank you."

"Wait, ma'am, are you sure this is legal?"

"We're just testing the security system; there won't be any problems," the woman said indifferently.

"Wow~ to be honest, your voice is really sexy. Is there anything else I can help you with?" the voice in the earpiece said, clearly a declaration of affection.

But the woman ignored her and said calmly, "No need, we already have everything we need."

With that, he cut off the communication.

"Thomas, everything is ready." The woman turned to the man sitting in a chair not far away and said.

The man slowly put down the cup in his hand, revealing the face of a hairy assassin, 47.

"Let's begin then."

"it is good."

As the woman spoke, she picked up a plug and connected it to the computer. Her hands moved non-stop as she typed in one command after another. On the computer screen, dark green numbers flashed continuously, and one interface after another popped up and then disappeared.

If you look closely, you can clearly see FBI, CIA, DEA, power and energy companies, Wall Street financial exchanges, a large number of high-tech companies, and even IRS.
