"Not yet." Gao Jin replied, "But we found out that it seems that the New York underworld king Jin Bing and Herbert Langdon are in collusion and the two are working together."

"Kingpin?"

Bai Ye's eyes narrowed.

After possessing the power of Black Superman, Kingpin is just a little Karami in Byakuya's eyes. The reason why Byakuya has never touched Kingpin is because Kingpin has strong execution ability. At his peak, he was the source of almost 40% of criminal activities in the United States. It should be possible for him to create a lot of major incidents and earn a lot of points for himself. Now it seems to be the case.

The original Vulture was the Vulture Armor developed in cooperation with Kingpin, and there was Felicia's Black Cat Potion. Now it's the mutants' turn?

Hehe, Jin Bing is really a qualified points maker.

Gao Jin continued, "During this period of time, Kingpin's criminal career has suffered a serious blow due to Spider-Woman and Lizard Man, so he has been making frequent moves recently. It seems that he is preparing to find various means to deal with the endless stream of superheroes in New York recently and to protect his criminal empire."

Ororo buried her head in the quilt, but that didn't stop her from listening with her ears pricked up.

Bai Ye exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Jin is just a gang leader. He is nothing to be afraid of. There is no need to pay too much attention to him. Go and investigate the Brand Group in depth and find out what Herbert Langdon wants to do."

As for the Lizard Man mentioned by Gao Jin... Bai Ye thought he knew it was Parker. It seems that even though he didn't become Spider-Man, Parker still embarked on the path of a hero, crawling out from the sewers of New York in the middle of the night to fight crime. It's just... the appearance of the lizard is too ugly. Parker, are you sure that those people you rescued will not be scared to death?

After putting on the white ghost spider costume, Spider-Woman looks so cool. Her curvy figure will make any man drool. She is definitely a superhero with good looks. And what about Parker?

"Yes!"

Gao Jin accepted the order.

"Brand Group? Is this Brand Group responsible for everything?"

Ororo couldn't help but look up.

"It shouldn't be wrong." Bai Ye pressed Ororo's head down again and said, "I have a feeling that the Brand Group must be doing something extraordinary, such as depriving mutants of their genes and transferring them to ordinary people. This is a terrible thing."

Bai Ye’s mobile phone received detailed information about the Brand Group sent by Gao Jin.

"Brand Group, a biopharmaceutical company, market value of $300 billion, major shareholder...Roxxon Group?"

Bai Ye widened his eyes:

"As expected, he is the born evil Uchiha... cough cough, the born evil Roxxon! He always wants to go against me! I haven't bothered Roxxon yet, but now he is bothering me again. What else can I say? Go get him!"

It just so happened that Bai Ye was preparing to further expand Saturn Bio. He originally planned to acquire a few more small biological companies. Now, with the Brand Group, a small biomedical giant, wouldn’t it be better for Bai Ye to directly swallow up the Brand Group?

Even though Osborn and Stark have hundreds of billions of dollars, money is not that easy to make. The Brand Group, with a market value of 300 billion US dollars, is also a small giant in the capital market. It has branches in major countries around the world. After Saturn Bio acquires the Brand Group, it will immediately become an international company.

Bai Ye's eyes flickered. "It just so happens that the Brand Group is doing something this time. They are taking mutants and slicing them in the lab for research. This kind of thing is something everyone does in private, but once it gets out, it will be a big scandal. After this incident gets out of hand, the Brand Group's market value of $300 billion will probably be cut in half, right? Maybe I can spend more than $100 billion to acquire this small biopharmaceutical giant."

Galaxy Capital made $260 billion from the Japanese toilet explosion case, and it was so easy to use the money to acquire Brand Group!

Having made up his mind, Bai Ye looked through Roxxon's information again to see if there were any subsidiaries of Roxxon that were suitable for his Galaxy Group to acquire.

"Cybertech Systems? This is a good company. We can give it to Mars Military Industry for acquisition."

This was Roxxon's cybernetic research division, used as its prosthetics and robotics facility. It was later enhanced to reverse engineer the cyborg Necrolock.

"Metropolitan Bank? A medium-sized bank with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. It can be acquired by Sun Bank..."

suddenly.

Ororo's phone also rang. She had to spit out the popsicle in her mouth, took the phone and answered it.

"what?"

Aurora exclaimed in a flash:

"Hank is missing? What happened...Oh, yes, I see. I'll be right over."

This time, Ororo was about to put on her clothes and run away.

Bai Ye stopped her: "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

"Hank is missing." Ororo said, "Due to the special nature of Hank's work, he doesn't get off work at a regular time. But he didn't come back to Xavier College last night. When Scott and Jean called Hank in the morning, his phone was turned off. Jean and the others knew something must have happened, otherwise Hank's phone wouldn't be turned off so easily."

"Jin and the others went to look for him and found that Hank was attacked by a PRG on his way back to Xavier Academy. His car exploded and fell on the side of the road. There was a lot of Hank's blood at the scene. He must have been captured."

"Ororo, don't be anxious when encountering problems, because it's useless to be anxious." Bai Ye said: "The most important thing to solve the problem is to keep a clear head. Beast Hank was captured, and you ran to the place where he was captured to check the situation. Is there any practical use?"

"This……"

Ororo calmed down and realized that Bai Ye was right.

Thanks to Bai Ye's help, they have identified the real culprit behind the recent capture of mutants in New York, who is the Brand Group and its CEO Herbert Langdon. So what she has to do now is not to follow Qin and the others to carefully investigate the ins and outs of Hank's disappearance, but to go to the Brand Group and settle accounts with Herbert Langdon, and let that damn guy hand over Hank and the other kidnapped mutants!

"Calm down now?" Bai Ye said with a smile, "Let me take you to the Brand Group. I think Herbert Langdon captured the mutants to study their genes, not to kill them for fun, so Beast Hank's life should not be in danger for the time being. We just need to find the location of the Brand Group's laboratory and rescue the kidnapped mutants before he goes completely crazy."

"Bai Ye, you are right!"

Ororo took a deep breath and immediately called Qin and the others.

So, after a brief discussion among themselves, they decided to act separately. Jean and the others looked for clues based on the traces left by Beast Hank at the scene, while Ororo followed Bai Ye to the headquarters of the Brand Group to act according to the circumstances.

……

Bai Ye drove to the headquarters of Brand Group.

The Brand Group was holding a technology seminar, and many experts and reporters flocked to the event.

Because he was the eldest son of the Osborn family, Bai Ye was able to bring Ororo in just by showing his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Brand Group's technology seminar. Now, please allow Mr. Herbert Landon, the CEO of the Brand Group and an authority on genetic science, to give a speech."

Amidst the applause, Herbert Langdon came onto the stage:

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I am standing here today to announce to you the advent of a new era, a new era that will allow us to understand the factors of genetic variation!"

"Most of us know that DNA, the chemical makeup common to all human and plant cells, contains the signature code for all of our life's functions."

"But at some point, these gene chains will undergo unique changes, which we call mutations."

"Because of the complexity and tiny size of the gene chain, the scientific community is still unable to control or even interfere with this kind of mutation in DNA."

"Even our understanding of them is still just scratching the surface. We don't know why they mutate, how they mutate, what causes the mutation and what energy is required."

"However, our Brand Group has already collected some data about the mutant gene, which we call the X gene, and is conducting research. We are using the new generation of supercomputers to summarize, organize, and deduce this data. We at the Brand Group are confident that we will soon be able to complete this greatest scientific discovery in genetics!"

"Yes, we are conducting more in-depth research on the X gene and will soon usher in a new era, using scientifically controllable artificial genes to replace those naturally occurring mutations!"

Aurora almost exploded when he heard what Herbert Langdon said: "This bastard, what he said now is clear, he is studying the mutant's X gene! How can such research be carried out without capturing a large number of mutants and obtaining genetic data? Bai Ye, your investigation is indeed correct, this guy is the one who is doing all this! He must have captured Hank!"

"Of course he's right. He made too much noise."

"I'm going to give him a good beating!"

Ororo clenched his fists, his eyes almost spitting fire as he looked at Herbert Langdon on the stage.

Bai Ye said helplessly: "Ororo, calm down, calm down! There are so many people here, many dignitaries, and a large number of reporters. If you go up to cause trouble at this time, you will push the mutants into the abyss. You must remain restrained!"

Ororo was not a reckless man like Wolverine, so he certainly understood the danger. He stared at Herbert Langdon, snorted coldly, and sat down again.

The two continued to listen to Herbert Landon's speech.

But listening to the science lecture was too boring, so Bai Ye took out his phone to play, and unexpectedly found that Johnny seemed to have sent him a video. Bai Ye curiously clicked on it...

"Fuck!"

Bai Ye exclaimed, he didn't expect that Johnny was serious, even without Bai Ye and Tony's participation, he still had a four-person im party, and the heroine was Kim Kardashian...

Chapter 165 Where is morality? Where is the bottom line? Where is dignity?

Where? Where is the address?

"Damn it, you're having an IM party without me, right?"

Bai Ye was very angry. What on earth is wrong with this world? I can't help but ask: Where is morality? Where is the bottom line? Where is dignity? Where is the address?

Wearing Bluetooth headphones, he began to criticize Johnny's one-hour movie at three times the speed with an angry and critical look.

The more Bai Ye looked at him, the angrier he became.

After reading the general plot, Bai Ye listened to Herbert Langdon's words about the new era of mankind, and felt inexplicably sad.

Why do women like Kim Kardashian exist? American women of this era are ruined. They are the laziest generation of women with the worst housework skills, but they always say they are "free babysitters"; they are the least loyal generation of women, but they always say "their sincerity is betrayed"; they are the generation with the highest rate of casual pregnancy and abortion before marriage, but they always say they are "bearing children for men"... Although only some women of this generation, the entire ethics and marriage atmosphere have been almost destroyed.

"Alas, American women!"

He sighed and shook his head.

In conservative New York, they wore hot pants and let black men sign their buttocks; in open Los Angeles, they "misunderstood" that a boy had installed cameras in his shoes and took secret photos of them.

He really didn't know how to evaluate American women of this era.

"Bai Ye, aren't you bored? Watching this kind of thing in public?"

Ororo lowered his voice and spoke into Bai Ye's ear.

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" Bai Ye quickly explained, "It was a bitch who sent me the video. I didn't deliberately look for the website to watch it."

Aurora watched Bai Ye exit the interface. It was indeed sent to him by another friend. She rolled her eyes at Bai Ye:

"Then you should have just taken a look and walked out instead of just staring at it all the time."

"I can't help it." Bai Ye spread his hands and said, "The plot is great, the actress's looks and acting skills are impeccable, I was immediately fascinated by it."

"..." Ororo said: "Then don't look at it anymore. Please be serious. If someone finds out, you won't feel embarrassed, but I will!"

"OK."

Bai Ye put the cell phone into his trouser pocket.

"Just Johnny, God bless you."

Bai Ye said in his heart.

Judging from the message Johnny sent him, this guy sent it to him before he got on the spaceship, and now he has already gone into space.

When he comes back again, he will almost become the Human Torch among the Fantastic Four.

However, what Bai Ye asked God to bless Johnny for was not the possible accident in space, but that Johnny's video seemed to be sent not only to him, but to many friends. What if some bad friend uploaded this movie to the Dark King website? Then when Johnny returned to Earth and found that he had super powers and became the Human Torch, he might be crowned with another nickname "Dark King".

From then on, Johnny was absolutely unique among superheroes. He was so popular that everyone in the world knew him. Even Michael Jackson might not have as many fans as Johnny.

After all, how many superheroes are willing to provide benefits to the public like Johnny?

"……thank you all."

Herbert Langdon concluded his speech, bowed, and withdrew into the background.

At the same time, Bai Ye and Ororo also left the venue and prepared to monitor Herbert Langdon.

"Ororo, have you contacted Professor X?" Bai Ye said, "Isn't this a very simple matter? Just let Professor X control him with the brain wave enhancer, and then let him take us to the mutant laboratory, and then we can rescue him."

"Bai Ye, I find that you have a misunderstanding of the professor. He is really not as powerful as you think. He can't do whatever he wants." Ororo complained: "If the professor can directly control those people in the Wasp Consortium, the situation of mutants may not become what it is now. The professor is like a nuclear bomb. If it is used to destroy and kill people, it is very simple. But if you use a nuclear bomb to save people, do you think it will be difficult? If the professor was on the scene right now, he could control Herbert Langdon effortlessly, but the professor is not mobile. Isn't he still in Xavier College? If he wants to remotely control Herbert Langdon, he must let the professor operate delicately, which requires some preparation and time."

"Is that so?" Bai Ye scratched his head and said, "Then it seems that Professor X and Magneto's abilities should really be swapped. Professor X's telepathic ability is always effective in killing people, which just fits Magneto's violent temper of killing people at any time. Professor X likes to save people, and Magneto's ability is very suitable for saving people. No matter what kind of disaster or war is encountered, his ability plays a decisive role."

In modern society, wars and disasters are probably the causes of the most human deaths.

If Professor X had Magneto's ability, then nothing would be a problem. For example, during the two Titanic sinkings, he could have saved people with just a wave of his hand...

"If that's really the case, all the humans on Earth might have been killed by Magneto now."

Ororo said speechlessly:

"Not even the professor could stop him."

“It seems so.”

Bai Ye blinked.

Professor X's abilities are unique among mutants. His strength level may not reach the Omega level, but in terms of lethality to weak lives, he is more powerful than Omega-level mutants.

Even Apocalypse, the mutant's ancestor, salivated at Professor X's abilities and looked at him differently.

……

Herbert Langdon had just returned to the backstage when he received a phone call. The caller ID showed the person - King!

He was startled, but he still had to press the connect button:

"Hello, Kingpin."

"Langdon, it's me." King's unhurried voice came from the other end of the line, saying, "Someone under my command has received the message. It seems that you are planning to tear up the agreement between you and me?"

Ok?

Herbert Langdon was shocked and looked around quickly. After a moment, he forced himself to calm down and said:

"King Bing, maybe there is an error in the intelligence gathering ability of your informants? When did I ever say that I would tear up the agreement between you and me? Don't worry, the experiment is going very smoothly. Next, we will create a new era together."
