Chapter 3 Inheritance
"It's a pity that the bows and arrows were drawn instead of firearms. It would be great if they were firearms."

After all, he still felt that guns were more useful, and even asked the butler to book shooting lessons for him.

"But it doesn't matter, take it slowly, you can always get it."

He is full of confidence. After all, it is something that can be done with money, not to mention that he is still rich now. Worthington is a Fortune 500 company in the world.

In the morning, Warren worked out for a while, then read a book.

Introduction to machinery, this card brought him a knowledge that former liberal arts students did not have, so he could make a study plan for himself.

After all, the probability of drawing cards to obtain skills is not low, and there is always the possibility of drawing other skills in the future. Now we can learn about the technological trends in this world.

At noon, you can draw cards again.

Daily free single draw.

【Blue Ordinary】

"Not bad luck."

【Mastery of Greek】

"Basically you don't need this language...but the probability of developing skills is really high."

Although Greek should not be very useful, at least one thing has been verified, that is, the probability of obtaining knowledge and skills from drawing cards is not low.

Real knowledge is much better than those messy things. After all, it takes a lot of time to learn knowledge, and things can be bought as long as you have money.

Because he had an appointment with the coach in the afternoon, Warren didn't use Greek to master, but asked the driver to take him to the shooting range.

Exercising in the morning, practicing shooting with a personal trainer in the afternoon, and using [Greek Mastery] before going to bed, the time passed day by day.

Old Worthington has been in big trouble lately since Magneto started his show.

Worthington Pharmaceuticals' antidote has recently become popular all over the country, and many mutants have come to receive treatment.

However, today is different. Some mutants have carried out an explosive attack on the treatment point, causing casualties.

Subsequently, Magneto also announced to the outside world:
"...Today's attack is just the first wave. As long as the 'antidote' exists, we will continue to fight. Your city is no longer safe, your streets are no longer safe, and you are no longer safe! As for my variant My fellow citizens, I invite you to join, or, get out of the way..."

"Too extreme." The old butler Sebastian shook his head.

"It's terrible." The maids were also whispering.

Warren said with a smile: "Perhaps the racists should be blamed for the mistakes, are you right Sebastian?"

?

Neither the steward nor the servants understood.

Warren was just making a plot joke, even though the others couldn't understand it.

The president ordered the closure of Sin Island, that is, Ekaz Island, which was originally a prison and is now the location of Worthing Laboratory. Because it is an island, it is very convenient for guarding.

The 'antidote' was also made into a weapon and distributed, all plastic, to defend against Magneto's ability, and the soldiers guarding the island were all equipped with plastic weapons.

Old Worthington also stayed on the island. After all, at this stage, they haven't completely located the mutant Jimmy's genes. If he is killed by Magneto, it will fall short, and the antidote will be gone.

X-Men III has been on the air for a long time, so the plot that Warren probably remembers is——

The Golden Gate Bridge is doomed again!
Other than that, Wolverine kills Phoenix. I can’t remember the rest. After all, I’ve watched it for a long time. I remember the plot of Avengers III and Avengers IV more clearly, but that’s still a long time away.

Anyway, Wolverine is reluctant to kill his wife, so there should be no problem, all he has to do is not to make trouble, and quietly wait for the plot to kill the villain.

None of the free gold coins Hua Lun had accumulated in the past few days was useless. After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to wait for 10 consecutive draws.

But just when he accumulated 9 gold coins, the bad news came.

Relying on his metal control ability, Magneto abruptly moved the Golden Gate Bridge to Alkaz Island, and led his mutants to attack, vowing to kill the mutant child Jimmy who is the source of the antidote.

It turned out to be a failure, but...

The main person in charge of the antidote project, the old aunt who gave him the antidote before was pierced through the body by a mutant with something like a porcupine quill, and died.

Warren Kenneth Worthington II, unfortunately killed, was caught by rioting mutants who rushed into the laboratory, and then threw him from a tall building, pawn.

There were countless dead and injured soldiers, and most of them couldn't even find their bodies. They were broken down into dross by the mutant Qin Gelei's thoughts.

-------
"Please sign your name." The lawyer said.

Warren in a black suit solemnly signed his name:
Warren Kenneth Worthington III
"You are now the chairman of the Worthington Group." The lawyer said after collecting the documents.

"If possible, I would prefer that he continue to run the company." Warren sighed softly.

"Please grief."

After the lawyer left, Warren stayed alone in the huge office, and his mood was not as sad as it appeared.

After he learned that he was going to inherit Worthington's estate, his first reaction was:
Then am I rich enough to draw a card?

Sorry for that thought, I reflect.

However, he didn't have much affection for Old Worthington. After all, he had known him for less than a month, and he had only met him twice.

Old Worthington died terribly, fell to his death, and saw many people, and was later destroyed by Qin Gelei's crazy thoughts, even his body was turned into dust. Only his clothes and a group photo were in the tomb.

Thanks to the help of the housekeeper Sebastian, otherwise Warren would have some headaches dealing with these complicated matters.

But there are still many things to deal with immediately after.

bang bang bang

"Please come in."

A mature and intellectual lady came in, she was the old Worthington's secret technique Nivea.

"Chairman, a government organization has requested to meet with you, saying that it wants to talk to you about the Worthing Laboratory."

"What organization?"

"He said they were called..." Nivea paused, recalled, took a breath and said, "The Land and Resources Strategic Defense Attack and Logistic Support Bureau."

"Take them to the reception room."

"Yes."

Warren rubbed his temples. The past two days have been really busy and chaotic. He has to deal with all the mess left by old Worthington, including but not limited to this SHIELD, as well as the previous and There are business dealings with 'antidote' in other countries, because although the matter of Alkaz Island has been suspended for a while, he will need to deal with it in the future.

But hell, he doesn't have this kind of experience at all. He used to run a small company, which was very hard-working. Throwing him a big company with 2000 billion yuan all of a sudden is really hard to handle.

In addition to new projects, there are also the original things of the group. The Worthington Group focuses on industry and pharmaceuticals. It seems that there are only two categories, but there are indeed many accumulated problems.

When he signed before, he thought for a moment whether to ask the board of directors to select another person who is good at taking on the big responsibility, but in the end he chose to do it himself.

Always face it, be busy when you are busy, everything is for drawing cards.

……

In the reception room, Warren met representatives of S.H.I.E.L.D.

A black man wearing blindfolds and leather jackets who could be a cameo on the Pirates set next door.

"Hello, Director Nick Fury." Warren held out his hand.

Nick Fury was a little surprised, and then shook hands.

"Hello, Mr. Xin Chairman, I didn't expect you to know me."

"The leader of the world's largest intelligence organization, the king of spies, I think I should know."

"But I don't know much about you."

Watched by Nick Fury's one eye, Warren felt a little pressure.

"Maybe it's because I used to be a mutant and didn't go out often." He laughed.

"That's a reasonable explanation."

Nivea came in and served tea.

"While my secretary is here, tell me if you have anything to say. I don't know much about the company now."

"Well, the existence of mutant 'Jimmy' is always likely to attract the attention of mutant radicals, so we want to... protect him for you."

Warren stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and nodded, "I thought you just wanted to order a batch of 'antidote' weapons, but I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite. I'm sorry, I can only see off the guests."

Although the opponent is Nick Fury, there is nothing to discuss about this matter.

Even if old Worthington is gone, other members of the shareholders' meeting are using their own power to interfere with other people's move to Worthing Lab. After all, it represents huge direct profits and indirect interests, because in this era of mutants, Which country has no mutant criminals?Would they not need an 'antidote' weapon?And the public, some mutant people want to live a good life, they don't want to be mutants, so how much do they need the 'antidote'?
Even if Hua Lun is young and ignorant and let this stuff go, the shareholders will be upset.

Nick Fury didn't rush, "I'm just saying that our people are in charge of security and participate in the research of 'antidote' weapons. We don't interfere with commercial matters. Since you also know us, then you know us How much an 'antidote' is needed."

"Yes, I know how much you need it. Those who deal with supernormal things... By the way, can't you change your name? Wouldn't it be better to use an abbreviation and call it 'SHIELD'?"

Although this is a good suggestion, Nick Fury did not show great agreement on the spot, it was very flat.

"Nice suggestion."

"Do you want to develop more weapons to deal with mutants?"

"Yes, because of our particularity, sometimes we need large-scale weapons against mutants, such as large-scale 'antidote' grenades instead of small needles."

"Okay, I understand, but I still refuse." Although I don't know what S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to do, Worthing Laboratory must not let people interfere.

"You want weapons, weapons to deal with mutants on a large scale, no problem, we can develop them for you, but you want to participate, no."

"Are you capable of protecting it?" Nick Fury's eyes were sharp.

"I won't be as conservative as before. Although it's a bit late, the current Ekaz Island can be covered by the 'antidote' mist at any time. We have laid several kilometers of pipelines, and it has become a Jedi for mutants!" Hua Len didn't back down.

measure?The measures are already in place. They are very simple but effective. Although they cost a little more, they are worth it. They are preventive measures against a large-scale attack like Magneto.

Nick Fury did not continue to press, but showed a slight smile, "I am very glad to see that you have protected the antidote so well. It seems that I don't have to worry about this kind of good thing being out of stock after I use it. I hope that in the future Pleasant cooperation. By the way, I will consider your suggestion."

"I wish us a happy cooperation in advance, and I hope you can change your name as soon as possible."
