I'm the Demon King in Marvel

"The drug destroyed the original genome. Does the process of reconstruction require self-awareness?"

Tang Xinrong didn't quite understand, but he obviously couldn't give up his hope of immortality, so he immediately ordered the security guard beside him: "Go get another batch of samples!"

"Second Master, your movements are too big. I'm worried that someone might notice you." His trusted subordinate quickly advised, "Why don't you slow down and take your time?"

"It's too late!" Although Tang Xinrong was irritated, his mind was clear: "I'm afraid that what I did has attracted other people's attention. Now I have to race against time!"

Wherever you walk, you will leave traces.

When children of aristocratic families enjoy abundant resources, they are inevitably surrounded by hostile eyes both inside and outside the family.

You have to fight for resources within the family, and you have to fight even more for resources outside the family!

Not to mention the distant past, the news that Tang Xinrong took Xie Yong and Jiang Tao away from the hotel last night has most likely been reported by the hotel owner to the family behind the scenes.

Today he mobilized a large force again to surround the "Spark" laboratory. Not only outsiders, but also the Tang family's own people must have noticed his movements, including but not limited to his eldest brother.

"Keep arresting them, in the name of 'sweeping the underworld'!" Tang Xinrong resolutely ordered: "Also, find that Xu guy for me!"

Chen Che’s bad reaction made Tang Xinrong feel uneasy, so he planned to “invite” Xu Gaohua back to work as an extra layer of insurance.

"Move Xu's family to my villa immediately. When you find him, tell him that as long as he is willing to help me, you can ask for anything!"

At this time, Xu Gaohua was hiding in the basement of a high-rise building, which was a safe house that had been prepared for him long ago.

Thirty years ago, when Mr. Lin gave the research ideas for genetically modified drugs, Xu Gaohua was not only astonished, but also realized the huge impact that this drug would have on human society if it was successfully launched.

At that time, he thought that the reason why Mr. Lin built the laboratory on an alien planet was to avoid the Earth where conservative forces were deeply rooted.

But who could have imagined that the current "Yuanchu Star" is actually controlled by one family, and the blockade is even more intense than that of Earth, where multiple forces are entrenched but can form a check and balance situation with each other.

Xu Gaohua believes that Mr. Lin ultimately underestimated human nature and the greed in human nature.

The noble families were able to complete the "privatization" of an entire planet, obviously because the upper class had tacitly approved of this behavior. All the noble families were trying to get a complete planet for themselves as a foundation, so naturally no one would jump out to oppose it.

Even if there really is such a warrior, he will definitely be strangled by the noble families without mercy.

Therefore, before the drug was developed, Xu Gaohua had already anticipated that the current situation might occur, and prepared several safe houses many years in advance. All of them were located in basements not far from the sewer network and were connected by privately dug passages.

The safe house contained some pre-prepared food, water, precious metals, and the hard-earned false identity information.

"We must find a way to bring the experimental data back to Earth!" Xu Gaohua frowned and thought to himself, "But the Tang family must have blocked the spacecraft launch center. Even with a fake identity, it will be difficult to pass the security check..."

As I said, Xu Gaohua is just a biological researcher, not a professional agent. The methods he is using now are all learned from books in his spare time over the years.

He is well aware of the truth that "don't use your hobbies to challenge the professional skills that others rely on for survival."

The Tang family must have already deployed professional personnel to guard the security checkpoint at the launch center. It would be too easy for a wealthy family to recruit a group of professionals!

drop by drop...

A shrill alarm sounded, and Xu Gaohua hurried to the old electronic screen. On one of the surveillance images, he saw that Tang family security personnel in uniform were breaking into a safe house where he had been before.

"Damn it!" Xu Gaohua felt a sense of urgency: "They are too fast!"

The team leader quickly checked the basement and soon locked onto the surveillance camera on the wall. He then took two steps forward and spoke loudly.

"Mr. Xu, your wife and children have been invited back to the Tang Family Villa by the Second Young Master. If you are willing to serve the Second Young Master, you can go to see them at any time."

"Beast!" An angry Xu Gaohua punched the basement wall with a distorted expression and struggled in pain.

The team leader in the surveillance video calmly opened his personal terminal and showed the screen to Xu Gaohua.

In a room, he saw his wife, son and daughter huddled on the sofa, looking at the burly men around them with nervous expressions.

"Mr. Xu, if you want to talk to your family, you can call this number. I guess they really need your comfort right now."

Xu Gaohua knew that this was the other party's plan, but he felt that he should give an explanation to his family, so he still made the call.

When the call was connected, the signal was immediately shared synchronously with Tang Xinrong who was still in the laboratory.

Two video windows then appeared on Xu Gaohua's personal terminal.

"Dad!" his children shouted quickly.

Xu Gaohua stared at Tang Xinrong with a gloomy face.

He did not waste any more words questioning, because he knew Tang Xinrong's purpose and was even more aware of the behavior of wealthy families.

"Mr. Xu, I really sincerely invite you to come and work with me."

Tang Xinrong said frankly: "As you can see, the experiment is not going well. I really need your help."

"So you don't need to worry that I will hold your previous offense against you, because you are very useful to me!"

"Let's get straight to the point. If you are willing to work for me, I can transfer a piece of land under my name to yours. The area is over three million square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-third of the land on Earth."

"From now on, Mr. Xu, you are the owner of this land! Even if you establish an independent country in the future, I, Tang Xinrong, will fully support you!"

"Is this condition sincere enough?"

Tang Xinrong's voice naturally reached Xu Gaohua's wife and children. After hearing it, the latter were so confused that they even forgot their previous uneasiness.

Chapter 597: Since when did we become so demanding of heroes?

"Are you...are you kidding me?" Xu Gaohua's son, who is already a college student, grumbled, "How could you buy and sell land privately?"

It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that there are people in reality who are so bold as to openly undermine major policies.

However, as a person with Chinese ancestry, owning a piece of land and being a local landlord has almost become a blood instinct.

What’s more, it is a vast land with an area of ​​3 million square kilometers?

This is no longer a landlord, this is the head of state!

Among the human countries recorded in history books, how many countries have ever had such a vast territory?

Xu Gaohua's son couldn't help but fantasize about becoming the "Crown Prince".

The more I think about it, the more excited I get!

"Dad, is he...is he telling the truth?"

Being able to kidnap their family in broad daylight without any scruples and owning such a large estate on the outskirts of City No. 1, Xu Gaohua's son has already realized that the middle-aged man in the picture is of great importance.

Seeing his son's reaction, Xu Gaohua was silent for a long time, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Do you hope that what he said is true?"

"This..." Thinking of his father's teachings, Xu Jiacheng didn't dare to look directly at his father. After turning his eyes away, he continued to ask: "Dad, if they are really sincere, why don't you want to change jobs?"

Even if it shrinks in the end, from three million square kilometers to 300,000, or even to 30,000 square kilometers, it is still a vast land!

How much is this worth?

Their family will never be able to earn that much in their entire lifetime!

"Dad, since this gentleman is willing to poach you, why don't you change jobs?" Xu Gaohua's daughter also began to persuade him: "You have been so busy with work for so many years and have little time to spend with us. If you change jobs now, maybe you can relax a lot."

"You are already old, it's time to enjoy your life!"

"Miss Xu, what you said is right." Tang Xinrong interrupted at the right time and said with a smile: "After your father starts working for me, he only needs to complete a research project. I think it will take only half a year to a year at most. After that, he will be free. I will fulfill my promise as promised."

"Mr. Xu will not only get a large piece of land, but also a huge bonus and the priority right to use the research results."

Having said that, Tang Xinrong thought for a moment and decided to reveal the information so that Xu Gaohua's family could put pressure on him.

"You may not know what Mr. Xu has been researching over the years, but I can tell you..."

Xu Gaohua's face suddenly turned dark. He asked himself if there were many people who could resist the temptation of immortality.

Tang Xinrong glanced at Xu Gaohua in the picture, smiled and said to the three puzzled people: "A genetically modified drug that can extend human lifespan!"

Not surprisingly, Xu Gaohua's wife and children were shocked at first, and then showed uncontrollable ecstasy.

"Dad, is what he said true?" Xu Jiacheng stood up from the sofa, rushed to the screen, and asked his father in the picture: "What your laboratory is researching is actually such an epoch-making great product?"

Xu Jiacheng has been quite resentful towards his father over the years because Xu Gaohua was busy with work all day and lacked time to accompany his family.

Although his income is not low and has created a good living environment for him, the gift he wants is not money, but his father's love and companionship!

Now that I hear that my father is developing such a great product, all my previous resentments have disappeared, leaving only a strong sense of pride and excitement.

Look how powerful my father is, he can even make a potion that can make people immortal!

At this moment, Xu Jiacheng finally understood why Tang Xinrong, who was obviously from a noble family, would make such a bold statement that he would exchange a huge piece of land for his father's services.

Only immortality is the constant pursuit of the rich!

What’s the point of having so much wealth if you can’t live a few more years?

Xu Jiacheng even felt that the offer was not enough.

"Hahaha, Mom, sister, our family will be rich in the future!" Xu Jiacheng could hardly contain his joy.

His sister was equally beaming.

"Great! I'm going to build myself a castle, paint the walls pink, and plant flowers in the garden..."

Seeing his family so excited, Xu Gaohua remained silent for a long time and his expression became increasingly sad.

"Do you know what it would mean if he got hold of this potion?"

"Ah?" Xu Jiacheng was puzzled: "Dad, what did you say?"

"He is from the Tang family! A noble family!" Xu Gaohua pointed at Tang Xinrong and shouted to his son, "Yuanchu Star has been completely controlled by the Tang family. The land on this planet originally belonged to all the people, but now it belongs only to the Tang family!"

"Tsk, that sounds nice." Xu Jiacheng muttered softly, "Then why do I have to spend money to buy a house?"

"That's right, I have to buy a ticket to go to the park..." The daughter also muttered.

"..."

At this moment, Xu Gaohua realized that he had really neglected the education of his children in the past, but he still wanted to rely on basic human conscience to awaken his children.

"This potion is different from other things! If they get it, the wealthy families will always be the upper class, and ordinary people will never have a way out."

"You've all heard this saying, 'Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers really that brave?' If the aristocratic families get hold of this potion, then they will really be that brave!"

"After thousands or tens of thousands of years, they will always be at the top and will never decline, let alone be overthrown, because they will definitely turn ordinary people into slaves of the new era!"

"What do those people we don't know have to do with us?"

Xu Jiacheng already hated his father's preaching, and what he heard now was completely contrary to his ideas.

Most importantly, this will seriously infringe upon the benefits he can obtain!
