"Is it not possible?" Bai Ye flicked the ash from his cigarette with a smile and said, "The old man at home is only in his 50s and is still very energetic. I feel that he can work for another 20 years. If I want to wait for him to die and take over, I have to wait for 20 years. What should I do in these 20 years? Eat, drink and gamble every day? Impossible! I must create a career of my own. It just so happens that the Extremis virus has been developed at this time. I won't say much. Just based on the effect of the Extremis virus, it can leverage a market of 200 billion US dollars. Isn't it not a lot? Then add the Roxxon Biotechnology that I have found here, and a small biological giant with a market value of tens of billions will be formed, right?"

Sefer thought for a moment. According to Bai Ye, the enhancement of the Extremis virus costs $1 million per spot, which is indeed frighteningly expensive. But this definitely cannot stop many people from wanting to become extraordinary people. There are a total of 1 people in the world with a wealth of more than $25490 million. There are probably at least 1 people who can take out $2000 million to squander. However, due to the failure rate of enhancement, there are probably only 100-200 people who are really willing to try. However, the private market is a small part, and the big part of the market is still the orders from the military of various countries. The United States is also expected to control it and it is impossible to allow such things to flow out on a large scale. So all in all, the market for the Extremis virus is indeed about $200 billion in size.

In addition to the Roxxon biotechnology that Bai Ye obtained here, it would not be a problem for him to go back to Osborne and dig into his own corner to create a biological company worth about 500 billion US dollars.

"I have already thought of a name for this biological company, it's called Saturn Biology." Bai Ye said with a smile: "Sever, are you interested in becoming the CEO of my Saturn Biology?"

"You told me all this just to recruit me to manage your company?"

Sefer was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself.

Just now she thought that Bai Ye would definitely poach people from her own company if he set up this company. Unexpectedly, it has come true. Now she is the CEO of Osborne's North African branch, but Bai Ye wants to poach her to the fledgling Saturn Biological Company.

"What's wrong? Can't do it?" Bai Ye shrugged and said, "Don't think that Saturn Biotechnology is just a start-up. With the technology of the Extremis virus, it can instantly become a supernova company that the world is flocking to. Letting you serve as its CEO is absolutely not a loss for you. Moreover, the failure rate of the Extremis virus is not impossible to improve. We will definitely continue to deepen our research. It is not impossible to successfully complete the Extremis virus with 100% success. When the time comes, if you, as the CEO, want to strengthen it, it will be a matter of a word."

"This..." Sefer frowned and thought for a moment: "Let me think about it."

"OK, if you have any ideas, you can tell me anytime." Bai Ye blinked and said, "North Africa is too small to accommodate your ambition as a North African diamond. It might be a good choice to go to America with me."

Next.

Under Bai Ye's command, all the technologies of the Roxxon base were quickly copied onto hard drives, the blueprints were packed up and taken away, and the scientists were tied up and escorted, leaving only the bulky instruments.

When it was almost done, Tian Yangyi and Gao Jin walked out of the laboratory.

"how's it going?"

Bai Ye asked.

"The Extremis virus has a strong ability to recover. We attacked several times, but Killian barely survived." Gao Jin lowered his head slightly and said, "Later, we stuffed Killian's remaining limbs into the incinerator and watched him burn to ashes with our own eyes. He could never recover."

"Yes, young master." Tian Yangyi said carelessly: "The recovery ability of the Extremis virus is too strong. It took us a lot of effort to kill Killian."

The reason why the first chimpanzee that had completed the enhancement of the Extremis virus was killed so easily was because the nanobomb was planted in the chimpanzee's brain. Once it exploded, the brain was directly blown away, and there was definitely no way to recover.

And there is no bomb in Killian's body, so it is definitely not that easy to kill him.

"Alright, just kill him." Bai Ye nodded and said, "Let's integrate the team and prepare to evacuate."

"Yes!"

Tian Yangsheng, Gao Jin and others took the order and left.

About half an hour after attacking the Roxxon base, Bai Ye and Sefer led their men to evacuate the building.

While marching, Bai Ye turned his back to the base building and pressed a button on the remote control in his hand.

"boom--!!!"

A bomb exploded underground in the very center of the base. The extremely strong shock wave and high-temperature and high-pressure gas instantly destroyed the outer wall of the building. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas produced by the explosion formed a huge fireball, several meters above the center of the explosion. Fragments and dust flew like fireworks, covering the surrounding buildings and facilities in a gray world. The entire building was destroyed.

After a while, the smoke cleared.

The exterior of the building was blown to pieces, with debris and stones scattered all over the ground. The internal structure and building materials were also completely destroyed, and the entire building became a ruin. In the center of the explosion, the interior of the building was absolutely destroyed, with no intact place.

……

Returned to North Africa.

In the desperate virus laboratory.

Bai Ye and Sefer took off their tactical equipment and returned to their civilized appearance.

"You really offended Roxxon this time. That base is worth a lot of money. It is Roxxon's main base in Africa, but you blew it up directly." Sefer said, "If I were the CEO of Roxxon, I would find an opportunity to cut you into pieces next time. You'd better be careful, don't get ambushed and killed at any time. Although you are now a strengthened person, strengthened people are not invincible."

"Would I be afraid of offending Roxxon? Haha!" Bai Ye laughed, "When they were trying to rob me, why didn't they think about offending Osborn? The worst that can happen is that we will fight Roxxon with real weapons! Next, I will bring a group of people with the Extremis virus back to America. When I find an opportunity, I will kill Dario Ager, the CEO of Roxxon, and see if there is a chance to acquire Roxxon."

As the saying goes, it can happen once or twice, but not a third time. This is the third time that Roxxon has provoked him. Bai Ye has already made up his mind. If Roxxon's CEO Dario Ager dares to show up next time, Bai Ye will kill him without any hesitation and then focus on acquiring Roxxon.

Now the market value of Roxxon is 1500 billion US dollars. After the explosion of the headquarters base in Africa, once the news leaks, the market value is expected to drop a lot. So with the strength of the Galaxy Group, plus the help of the Osborne Group, it is not impossible for Bai Ye to accomplish the feat of swallowing an elephant and use leveraged buyout to take Roxxon into his pocket.

"Acquire Roxxon?" Sefer looked at Bai Ye speechlessly. "You are not talking nonsense, are you? Roxxon is such a huge behemoth. Not to mention how much money it would take to acquire it, there must be a network of interests behind it. Can you just acquire it if you say so?"

"I have the adaptable people with the desperate virus in my hands. If anyone dares to disagree, I will just go and beat him up. I'm not afraid of a fuck!" Bai Ye laughed. He found that he was too soft-hearted before, which made those people think that he was easy to bully, which led to Roxon's aggressive behavior. If he didn't play a big game next time, he would be sorry to A Zu.

After a round of advancement by adding points, Bai Ye no longer had much fear of Ancient One and Captain Marvel. Without any constraints, Bai Ye could of course have as much fun as he could.

Even if Roxon has a lot of powerful people behind him, so what? How many divisions do you have? Forget about divisions. Even if you have a few aircraft carrier formations, I can sink them for you.

"Say, Sefer, you reminded me that since we have already torn our relationship with Roxxon, there is no need to save face for them anymore."

Bai Ye took out his mobile phone and operated it.

"What are you doing?" Cypher asked.

"Isn't Roxxon having a lot of fun with his biochemical experiments?" Bai Ye said as he typed, "I'll help Roxxon become famous by filming their various biochemical experiments and uploading them to the Internet. The biochemical monster we fought before, the T-30, was a biochemical monster created based on humans. This is just child's play. Roxxon has many more bloody and cruel experiments than this. If the world knew what Roxxon did, hehe, it would be fun."

"Do you really want to fight to the death with Roxxon?" Sever said, "You have to think it over. Osborne may not be any cleaner than Roxxon. If you do this, Roxxon may come after Osborne as well."

"It doesn't matter. Roxon won't have many opportunities to jump around."

Bai Ye waved his hand and said.

Apart from Dario Aguer, the CEO of Roxxon, if they dare to cause trouble again, it is possible that the senior executives of their company will be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide.

As long as Bai Ye wanted, he could make Roxxon Company unable to continue operating at any time.

Not to mention, Galaxy Capital has been shorting Roxxon during this period. According to Jordan, Roxxon had a big asset sale some time ago, which resolved the crisis and left a lot of cash in hand. So Galaxy Capital has been shorting Roxxon during this period, but it has encountered great resistance. After working hard for most of the day, it has not made much money. So Bai Ye must stab Roxxon again at this time and create a wave of negative news for Roxxon, so that his Galaxy Capital can make money.

As he was speaking, a caller ID appeared on Bai Ye's phone: Norman Osborn.

"Uh……"

Bai Ye paused, but still picked up the phone.

Norman Osborn: "Did you succeed in developing the Extremis virus?"

Bai Ye: "It can be considered a success, but there is a 40% chance of failure in the enhancement. The consequence of failure is death without a complete body. If you can't wait now, then I can arrange the experiment for you immediately. If you can still wait, then I suggest you wait a little longer. Next, I will continue to conduct in-depth research with the chief researcher of the Extremis virus to see if we can create a perfect version of the Extremis virus."

Norman Osborn was silent for a while, then said, "I can still wait for two years, so there is no need to rush this matter. Are there any difficulties during the research and development process?"

Bai Ye: "It's not difficult, but I just blew up a Roxxon base. I guess their attitude won't be very friendly now. You and Harry should take protective measures and don't get sent away accidentally."

Norman Osborn: "I see."

He hung up the phone decisively.

Bai Ye couldn't help but complain: "It seems that there are still many undercovers and spies in my team. I just came back from the Congo rainforest, and the old man knew that the desperate virus was successfully strengthened."

"Ha, this is inevitable." Sefer said with a smile: "Who told you that most of your team is built by relying on family power?"

"Okay, do you have anything else to do?" Bai Ye said, "If you are fine, you can leave. I still need to discuss with another main researcher of the Extremis virus how to improve the Extremis virus."

Even though the Extremis virus can be used to create super soldiers, it is still far from enough to cure Norman Osborn and Harry's retrovirus myeloma. Bai Ye can't let Harry take the 60% chance, right?

"Heh, man."

Sefer looked at Bai Ye with disdain.

She stood up and prepared to leave.

"Will you come to my house for dinner tonight?"

"Of course!" Bai Ye slapped Sefer on the buttocks and chuckled, "Remember to wash yourself clean, or I will eat you too."

Sefer rolled his eyes at Bai Ye and turned away.

……

night.

The starry sky is dazzling and bright, making people intoxicated in this beautiful night.

Bai Ye came to Sefer's house.

"You're here?" Sefer was still busy in the kitchen. When Bai Ye came over, she just brought the dishes and put them on the dining table: "Dinner is ready, you can eat now."

"These dishes are just side dishes. If possible, I hope the main dish is you!"

Bai Ye smiled and caressed Sefer's pretty face.

"You..."

Sefer gave Bai Ye a wink, but said nothing and lay down on the dining table obediently.

Chapter 124 Return to New York

The next day, early in the morning.

Sefer woke up and saw the big hand on her mountain. She took it away unhappily and sat up. The thin blanket slipped off, revealing her graceful curves.

"This guy has truly completed the extraordinary level of enhanced transformation..."

As she looked at Bai Ye sleeping soundly, she felt a mixture of love and hate in her heart.

shook his head.

Sefer put on a black bathrobe and walked into the bathroom barefoot.

Water gushed out of the shower head and splashed on her body.

Sever closed her eyes gently, feeling the water hitting her body.

"Stay in North Africa, or go to America?"

This is indeed a very difficult choice for her, which will determine the direction of her future path.

"Black Superman, Spider-Woman, Dr. Lizard, biochemical monsters, desperate virus..."

Sefer sighed and whispered to himself:

"The world has changed. It is no longer something that ordinary people can control. No matter how many conspiracies and tricks there are, without sufficient power to support them, they are meaningless."

"perhaps……"

At the right time, Bai Ye also opened the bathroom door and walked in, smiling shyly and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, you are taking a shower too?"

Sever: "..."

In the bathroom where steam was spreading, with a woman's scream, the only sound left in the bathroom was the sound of flowing water.

More than an hour passed.

Bai Ye carried Sefer, who was collapsed in his arms, out of the bathroom and put her on the big bed.

a long time.

Coming out of the state of fireworks in his brain, Sefer looked at the ceiling and asked:

"You came to North Africa to solve the problem between Killian and Roxon. Now that the problem has been solved, when will you return to New York?"

"We have to wait two more days before we decide." Bai Ye said while smoking a cigarette, "It is not easy to reduce the failure rate of the Extremis virus. I have already communicated with Serioel Stern, another main researcher of the Extremis virus. He is trying to find a solution, but the situation is not very optimistic."

Sefer frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Does that mean the failure rate of the Extremis virus cannot be reduced?"

"I can only say that it is very difficult." Bai Ye said, "There is no other way. There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing in this world. If you want to gain extraordinary abilities, you still have to take some risks."

"Didn't you use the Extremis virus as a bargaining chip to invite me to be the CEO of your Saturn Biotech?" Sefer rolled his eyes and said, "When my thoughts have begun to loosen, you told me that if I want to complete the Extremis virus enhancement, I must take risks?"

"Haha, don't be anxious, just listen to me." Bai Ye laughed and said, "In response to the current situation of the Extremis virus, Serioel Stern proposed two ideas. One is to reduce the effectiveness of the Extremis virus, making it more controllable, and the possible supernatural power it brings will be much weaker. The other is to spend a lot of resources to build a new enhanced version of the Extremis virus based on the current Extremis virus."

"The extraordinary ability gained by reducing the effect of the Extremis virus... is that very different from having no effect?" Sefer said speechlessly: "Also, the enhanced version of the Extremis virus can guarantee a 100% success rate of enhancement?"

"Don't just focus on supernatural powers. The weakened version of the Extremis virus may not have great supernatural powers, but it can cure disabilities. Just think about it, perfect reattachment of severed limbs, allowing your missing hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth to grow back, and it can be promoted for civilian use. How big a market will this be? The minimum is 500 billion US dollars, right?" Bai Ye blinked and said, "As long as you inject a tube of Extremis virus serum, you will no longer be disabled and will not suffer from all diseases. There is no risk of uncontrolled explosion. I think this is also very attractive to many wealthy people, right? I call this the Extremis virus version 2.0."

"And the enhanced version of the Extremis virus, I call it version 3.0. The current cost of a tube of serum for the Extremis virus version 1.0 is about 200 million US dollars, and the cost of the Extremis virus version 3.0 will be more than 1000 million US dollars. According to Serio Stern's idea, it may be possible to reduce the enhancement failure rate to about 10%. This does not need to be sold, and it can be used exclusively by our own people."

Sefer frowned and thought for a while, then said, "If the failure rate of the Extremis virus can really be reduced to about 10%, then I can totally accept it. I don't believe I will be so unlucky that the 10% chance will just happen to happen to me."

She changed the subject: "But Bai Ye... you are really evil. A bottle of serum of the Extremis virus version 1.0 only costs 200 million US dollars, and you sell it to me for strengthening, million US dollars a tube?"

Sefer felt that Bai Ye was worthy of being a member of the Osborn family. He was extremely evil-hearted. It's not that they don't allow you to make money, but you can't make money in an unscrupulous way. With a profit margin of 50 times, why don't you just die?

"Well, how can this be considered as my bad heart?" Bai Ye coughed and said, "You are the CEO of Osborne's North African branch. You know that the drugs sold by our pharmaceutical company can be directly calculated as manufacturing costs? Do I still want to recover the huge research and development expenses I spent in the early stage?"

"Take Gleevec for treating leukemia. In Hengsan, the factory price is $100, and there is still a lot of profit to be made. However, in other parts of the world, the price of Gleevec is about $7000, a 70-fold profit difference. Isn't this even more cruel than me?"

"It is precisely because I am now the CEO of the Osborn Group branch that I truly understand how evil the hearts of you pharmaceutical companies are." Sever looked at Bai Ye with disdain and said, "If you Osborn are really angels who save people from suffering, then where does your market value of more than 2500 billion US dollars come from? You are real big capitalists, not much different from arms dealers like Tony Stark, except that Osborn chose the pharmaceutical industry."

"Alright, alright, I'm a bad-hearted person, okay?" Bai Ye spread his hands helplessly and said, "So do you still want the CEO position of Saturn Bio? If not, I'll give it to someone else. When I return to New York, I will reorganize and establish Saturn Bio. Don't let me appoint a CEO and you come and tell me that you are willing to do... this job for me."

"I want this position." Sever smiled, and said very chicly: "But you have to give me some more time, I am still the CEO of your Osborne Group North Africa branch, and many things are intricate. It’s only half done, so it’s impossible for me to drop the pick right now, right? You Osborne will lose at that time! I’ll go to New York after the matter here is settled.”

Now Sefer has figured it out. If she wants to occupy a certain position in the future of this world, extraordinary abilities are indispensable. So she decided to wait until the 3.0 version of the Extremis virus is developed and she has strengthened herself before talking about other things.

"Okay, it's settled." Bai Ye nodded and said, "But you have to hurry up. The power under my command is developing rapidly, just like a snowball, growing exponentially. If you come too late, there will be no place for you."
