A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

“Vampires!?” Rumlow said in a deep voice.

“Yes, it’s those filthy creatures,” Sitwell said in a deep voice.

"I suspect these scumbags might be conducting human experiments!"

Neon Yakuza provides human subjects to the Lilith Club, while the Lilith Club provides black protection to the El Labs.

In this way, even if people like S.H.I.E.L.D. discover the darkness within the Lilith Club, they will assume it's a matter between ordinary people and won't involve vampires.

Therefore, Aier Labs' underhanded tactics remained undetected until today.

Rumlow frowned: "Sir, how did you know that the El Labs are backed by vampires?"

Sitwell shrugged. "They told me themselves."

Some time ago, a vampire came to visit, frankly admitting that he had offended me and wanted to settle the matter privately.

Sitwell was initially unaware of the situation, but the other party recounted their grievances with Cao Gui in detail.

After listening, Sitwell realized something was wrong. This wasn't just a desire to settle things privately; it was a threat!

To show up at an agent's door without even a word—what else could it be but a threat?

Seeing this, Sitwell agreed, but with one condition: a private settlement was possible, but it had to be done through official channels.

The vampire then gave Cao Gui an offer letter from the El Labs and a salary card with five million, and the matter ended without Cao Gui's knowledge.

Sitwell had planned to have a good chat with Cao Gui next time they met, and find out the origin of his flames.

Unexpectedly, because of this incident, he was the first to discover that the vampires were up to something.

However, Sitwell didn't want his superiors to know about the relationship between the vampire and Cao Gui, and he didn't want Cao Gui to come into contact with Hydra.

“Let’s go back to headquarters first, Rumlow,” Sitwell said. “Let’s report to our superiors first, and don’t act on our own.”

Since he already knew that the Al Labs were run by vampires, finding clues based on the results wasn't a difficult task for him.

Two hours later, the order came down from above. Surprisingly, Pierce's order was the same as Nick Fury's: Sitwell and Rumlow should investigate the evidence before they could take action.

Seeing this, the two couldn't help but smile wryly. Facing the vampire, the boss really thought too highly of them.

“Let’s go, get some things ready, and then we’ll set off,” Sitwell said dejectedly.

……

three days later.

Bawean Island, Indonesia.

Cao Gui and Jia Fulian spent over a million US dollars to rent a medium-sized yacht on the island, and then went to wander around in the Java Sea.

They don't care about anything else; they specifically seek out uninhabited islands and remote places to explore.

While using drones to search for the large reef on the uninhabited island, Cao Gui also went to the FBI to look for satellite maps of the area.

Then, it took three or four days to finally find the two large reefs protruding from the sea on the morning of the fourth day.

"Oh my God, we've finally found it." Catherine wiped her sweat; these past three days had almost killed her.

"Let's go, girl, go find your great-grandfather," Cao Gui said with a smile. He carefully steered the boat closer to the island, then anchored the yacht, and finally drove the speedboat ashore.

"Cao, why are you carrying so many weapons?" On another speedboat, Katharine glanced at the weapon cases floating in the water and couldn't help but ask.

“There might be wild boars or tigers on the island; I’ll take it for self-defense,” Cao Gui replied. “Besides, what if there are pirates around?”

“How could there be pirates?” Catherine laughed. “Haha, this isn’t Somalia.”

Several kilometers away on the sea, a small boat was moored, and a person on board was looking at Cao Gui and Jia Fulian through binoculars.

"Boss, look at that boat, those two are definitely easy targets!" the younger brother next to him laughed.

"What I'm more curious about is... what are this man and woman doing in this godforsaken place?" another pirate said, chewing gum with a puzzled look.

"No rush, keep an eye on them, brothers. We'll catch them tomorrow," the pirate leader chuckled.

"Everything they own must be ours!"

"Hahaha……"

Chapter 78 Finding the Treasure

buzz~

The drone hovered in the sky, transmitting images back to the computer.

Inside the tent, Cao Gui picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Undying should be on this island."

"Let's stick to our usual method and continue narrowing down the search until we find the Immortal Number."

"Oh, oh..." Catherine seemed to understand but not quite: "But, what criteria do we use to narrow down the scope?"

“Of course there are traces of humans,” Cao Gui said. “With so many people on the Immortal Ship, there must have been some traces of humans left on this island.”

“But it’s been over a hundred years, how could we possibly still find it?” Catherine said, scratching her head.

“That’s why I said to narrow down the scope,” Cao Gui said. “If we can find the traces they left behind directly, then we can just intercept them, why bother narrowing down the scope?”

As he spoke, Cao Gui began to browse the images transmitted back by the drone. Jia Fulian shrugged and said, "I understand the logic, but I just don't know how. You do it."

Soon, Cao Gui made a discovery on the image: there was a sparse area in the dense jungle on the island, like a light green dot on a dark green cloth, easy to miss, but still noticeable.

That's the south side of the island. After thinking for a moment, Cao Gui controlled the drone and took a stroll around the south side of the island. Sure enough, there was a high cliff there, and a deep crack extending into the island.

If I'm not mistaken, the location of the Immortal is right there!

"Catherine, let's go!" Cao Gui said with a smile as he put away his computer.

"What!?" Catherine exclaimed in surprise, "They found it already? That's too fast!"

Cao Gui glanced at her and said, "You're fast? I'm a man whose first section is longer than six sections!"

"Change your clothes, grab your gear, and let's go!"

"Ah, wait a minute."

……

Two kilometers away on the sea, the pirates, with their binoculars, had a clear view of Cao Gui and his companion's every move.

"Boss, they've set out," one of the henchmen said. "They're wearing jungle protective suits and veils, and they look very well prepared, like they're going into the jungle."

"And also, what that man was carrying looked like a gun. They have weapons."

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, are we afraid of him with just one gun?"

"But why are they going into the jungle?" the pirate captain asked, puzzled. "That's all primeval forest... Could they be looking for something?"

"What are they looking for? Is it the Pirate King's treasure?"

"Are you crazy? We are pirates! We are the pirate kings of the Java Sea!"

"No, no, no, I've heard my grandfather say that a group of pirates once sank their ship in this area. Maybe these two are looking for treasure."

"Hey, aren't you Black? You have a grandfather? He wouldn't happen to be your father, would he?"

"Get out! I'm a Black man from New Guinea, not from Africa, and not from America!"

"Alright! Quiet!" the pirate leader said. "Whatever they find will be ours! Understand?"

"Wow! Boss is right! We're pirates, we'll just rob them!"

"Hehehe, not only did they find our things, but they themselves are our things."

"Boss, I want that woman." A pirate chuckled, rubbing his hands together. "Even though her breasts are small, she's very cute."

"Hehehe, boss, I want that guy..."

"Get lost!" The pirate captain kicked the man into the sea. "That man is mine! Who dares to take him from me?"

As he spoke, the pirate leader glared at everyone, looking around and forcing them to bow their heads in submission. No one was allowed to talk back to their boss, or they would be talked back to that night.

"We'll go to the island in three hours. If they find it, we'll rob them along with the two of them. If they don't find it, we'll force them to keep looking, and then rob them along with the two of them when we do!"

……

On the island, Cao Gui, who was clearing a path with a machete, couldn't help but stop.

I felt a chill run down my spine, and an ominous premonition gripped my sphincter.

Cao Gui: "..."

I have a feeling that some treacherous people are trying to harm me!

"Cao, why did we stop?" Catherine asked from behind.

Cao Gui shook his head: "Oh, it's nothing, there's a cliff ahead."

Jiafuna peeked out and said, "It's so dark down there."

Cao Gui took out a thick, brightly lit glow stick, broke it in half, and threw it down.

However, it was too deep down, and the glow sticks weren't bright enough to travel that far. It was a pity I didn't dare throw the light sticks down for fear of starting a fire; otherwise, I could have seen clearly.

dong dong!

Just as the two were feeling disappointed, a hollow sound came from the wooden board.

"There's something down there!?"

"It's a wooden plank!?"

“Come on, let’s go down!” Catherine exclaimed excitedly. “My great-grandfather must be down there!”

Without saying a word, Cao Gui took out a climbing rope and secured it to a tree, then took out his rappelling equipment and secured it. However, when he turned around, he found that Jia Fulian looked troubled.

"???"

"I've never tried going this way before, I wouldn't dare."

Cao Gui: "..."

She really is a pampered young lady.

“Then come up here, I’ll take you down,” Cao Gui said.

"Ah, thank you so much, Cao!" Catherine exclaimed in delight.
