A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"I know, so what?"

Cao Gui nodded. He remembered it vividly. He and Beth were lighting the ambient lights when the power suddenly went out. It felt like the power was gone in an instant. Just as they resigned themselves to their fate and were about to try something different, the power came back on with a snap.

Beth was furious, and it took Cao Gui a lot of effort to calm her down, which is why his back was a little sore that night.

“Osborne was also affected by that power outage,” Harry said in a deep voice. “You may not know this, but Osborne’s electricity comes directly from the power hub on the East Coast.”

"In other words, the problem actually occurred at the power hub that night."

"Oh?" Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. It seemed he could earn points again.

"Go on."

“This is very unusual. I checked the outer firewall of the power hub and found that it had been breached, which caused the power outage that night,” Harry said in a deep voice.

“Following the trail left by the other side, I discovered that they had not only attacked the power hub, but also our Osborne.”

"Do you remember me talking about that hacker friend of mine who died in the server explosion?" Harry asked, changing the subject.

"I remember...you mean this was also done by that group of people behind the scenes?" Cao Gui asked.

“I broke into their system, but I only managed to get a tiny bit of information before they kicked me out,” Harry said. If it weren’t for the powerful intrusion using the Osborn Group’s own supercomputer, he probably wouldn’t have been able to identify the botnets they had set up.

"From that information, I identified four people..."

"Three of them died?" Cao Gui suddenly interjected.

"Huh? How did you know?" Harry asked, puzzled.

Cao Gui curled his lip; movies always go on like this, there's nothing new about it.

"Tell me, where is the remaining person?"

“Camden, his name is Matthew Farrell,” Harry said.

“New Jersey…” Cao Gui stroked his chin.

“Yes, you bring him back for me,” Harry said.

"This guy is also a hacker, and he's quite skilled. He's especially good at writing algorithms. Without using a supercomputer, I can't break through the firewall he set up."

"What if we use it?" Cao Gui asked, as he didn't know much about hacking.

“If we use him, he’ll find out.” Harry shrugged helplessly. “Then he’ll delete the account and run away, and we’ll lose our target.”

“Alright, I’ll go then.” Cao Gui nodded.

……

On a street in New York, McLean sat back in his car, his face full of frustration and dejection: "John, as expected of you, you've made the kid angry again..."

Dick dick~

"John, John, answer me," a voice came through the communication system.

McClain frowned and reluctantly answered, "I am McClain."

“John, the FBI sent a document requesting our help in arresting someone in Camden, New Jersey…”

“Hey, wait a minute,” John complained. “It’s already evening, I should go home. Find someone else. There are so many newbies in the department, they’ll definitely fight over this job.”

“No, John,” the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie said. “The FBI has a requirement: it has to be a senior detective. They don’t trust rookies.”

“Oh my god.” McClain was extremely frustrated, but he could only obey his superior’s orders: “What name? Specific information.”

"Matthew Farrell, at xxx."

"I understand, Ravino. Remember, you owe me one. Buy me a drink later."

Chapter 144 Even surrendering is so slow

Camden, New Jersey.

At the foot of the old apartment building, a van slowly pulled up. Inside, five burly men with stubble and bushy sideburns sat. Four of them were organizing their weapons, while the leader was operating a computer.

Dick dick~

"Virus upload complete." The leader said in French, "Get ready, leave after the explosion, or execute Plan B in three minutes."

The other four nodded silently, their hands constantly checking their weapons.

In a room upstairs in an apartment building, a middle-aged man with medium-length hair was chatting with someone on his computer:

[The Most Handsome Matthew]: "I wrote an algorithm a few weeks ago..."

[The Master]: "I already know about this. Here's my advice: run away quickly. This is very dangerous."

[The Most Handsome Matthew]: "Can you help me? I have something to do..."

[The Master]: "No!"

The mage has logged off.

"Oh God!"

Matthew Farrell covered his face in anguish and lamented. The person who wrote the algorithm had asked him to keep it a secret, but Matthew still talked to his good friend, a big shot in the hacker circle, and he never expected to get this result.

However, he did not heed the monk's advice and act immediately. As a homebody, his understanding of danger differed from that of ordinary people. In his view, no matter how great the threat, it would not involve his life.

Suddenly, the computer screen flickered, then the entire computer crashed, and the screen froze on the chat interface.

"Oh, really? Am I that unlucky?" Farrell was completely unsuspecting. Seeing the computer crash, he didn't even think twice before pressing the delete key and restarting.

But then, a heavy, forceful knocking sounded, making his fragile door tremble.

"Damn it!" Matthew said helplessly, and could only get up to open the door.

However, remembering the wizard's warning, Matthew decided to be careful, so he put on the security chain and opened the door.

Because of the security chain, the doorway can only be opened 10 centimeters wide, and under normal circumstances, no one can break through the security chain.

Outside the door stood a fair-skinned, slender Asian youth. Matthew was taken aback for a moment, but then felt relieved. So this was just a rookie Asian. I could take on ten of these guys!

"Is there something you need, sir?" Matthew asked with a smile.

“FBI.” Cao Gui flashed his badge and smiled. “Matthew Farrell, right? You’re in trouble now. Come with me.”

"Wow! That's amazing." Matthew chuckled. "This is the first time I've ever seen such a weak FBI agent. You didn't steal that badge, did you?"

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. He was the type who looked slim in clothes but muscular when undressed. From his appearance alone, apart from being a little handsome, he was otherwise unremarkable.

But Cao Gui never expected that the other party would act like this after he showed his identification. You should know that in the United States, resisting arrest is a very serious crime.

Should we show him something? Cao Gui's eyes flickered as he pondered, but he abandoned the idea. It would be a waste of time; it was better to follow the proper procedures.

Thinking this, Cao Gui lifted his clothes, revealing the Sai Glock tucked into his waistband: "And now?"

"Haha...ha, hello officer." Matthew immediately bowed and scraped, smiling respectfully.

"Stop talking nonsense and get ready to go!"

“Okay, no problem.” Matthew Farrell unlocked the security chain on his computer. “But you’ll have to wait a few minutes while I tidy up my computer.”

……

Inside the van downstairs, five burly men exchanged glances. The time had come, and it seemed something unexpected had happened. In that case, let's begin Plan B.

Several people reached out and grabbed the car door, but at that moment, the driver suddenly shouted, "Wait! A car is coming!"

The group of people who were about to get out of the car silently pulled their hands back. A black Santana car slowly drove up and stopped behind them.

Then, under their gaze, a bald, muscular man stepped forward.

“Matthew Farrell, this should be it,” McLean muttered, walking up the apartment building.

The five men exchanged glances, got out of the car, and one of them led a rifle to the roof of a nearby building, preparing to snipe from a distance.

The remaining four men rushed upstairs with UMP45 submachine guns.

They were going to go up and take out Matthew Farrell, and while they were at it, take out that bald guy who was in their way.

upstairs.

Matthew hurriedly tidied up his computer.

“Officer, may I ask what crime I have committed?” Matthew asked.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask..." Cao Gui said casually, but at that moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a strange feeling enveloped him. In short, he felt that there were always treacherous people trying to harm him!

Iron block!

Following his instincts, Cao Gui subconsciously activated his defensive skill.

Just as the iron block was unleashed, with a crash, the glass window shattered, and a bullet pierced the glass, striking Cao Gui in the forehead.

clang!

A spark flashed, and the bullet struck Cao Gui on the head and was sent flying.

"Joan of Arc... No way..." The man was dumbfounded. The bullets couldn't even break through the other person's skin. Was this a human or a monster?

Just as he was stunned and surprised, he suddenly came to his senses and found that Cao Gui was standing a building away, his eyes fixed on him.

"!!!"

The man felt a chill run through him. His intuition, honed from years of navigating the edge of life and death, told him that he had messed with the wrong person.

Without thinking, he let go of his hands, turned around, and ran away!

Inside the building, Cao Gui sneered. Offending the navy and thinking he could just run away? Not so easy!

With a swift grab of his left hand, a Colt M1873 with an ivory handle appeared. Then, with a sudden flick, a .45 caliber bullet whistled out in an arc with a bang.

The burly man, who was running, suddenly felt a numbness in his left knee and collapsed uncontrollably. Damn it, he'd been shot!

Cao Gui frowned. He hadn't managed to kill him; he was attacking from a low position but hadn't been able to get the angle right.

Inside the building, the loud gunshots alerted McLean and the four burly men in the hallway.
