"How's it going, boss? Did that brat agree?"
After leaving the Mark Research Center, Eric Savin asked Kilian, who was sitting in the back seat of the car.
"Of course, he agreed. Things went much smoother than I expected. I thought it would be a mess caused by those fools under my command, and I would have to clean up the mess.
But unexpectedly, they ended up giving me a big gift! Tony Stark's son, Very good--
Whether it's Tony Stark or Mark Stark, dare to underestimate me, Aldrich Kilian. I will make you all pay a heavy price.
When that kid, Mark, really comes to the company, his inventions, his wealth, his intelligence, everything will be mine.
No one among the modified individuals will resist me unless they are willing to self-destruct and die--"
As Mark expected, Kilian's intentions for inviting him are definitely not simple. Otherwise, a normal person would not be able to keep smiling and appeasing him continuously, even when provoked by Mark's words, unless the other party has a very clear and definite goal.
And Mark's plan of using himself as bait has indeed succeeded. Now Kilian has taken the bait, and we're just waiting to reel in the big fish.
"Baymax, did you get any useful information or data from scanning and analyzing those two people for a long time?"
"Report, Master. Through the recent scan and analysis, I only obtained detailed physical data of the two individuals. It was not possible to reverse-engineer and restore the Extremis modifications they have undergone.
However, I found an interesting piece of data. Whenever you attempted to provoke Kilian and his adrenaline increased due to anger, his body's repair mechanism would activate.
At that moment, his body temperature would noticeably rise, metabolism would accelerate, and the growth rate of normal cells in his body would be nearly fifteen times that of cancer cells.
But this condition immediately subsides once his adrenaline levels return to normal."
"So, if we can effectively utilize this, we can turn his advantage into a disadvantage--!"
Mark exclaimed with excitement.
"Exactly, Master. If the opponent is injected with an excessive amount of exogenous adrenaline, it will cause rapid growth of their normal cells. In this case, the so-called normal cells are no longer normal.
They will become like cancer cells, constantly growing and competing for limited nutrients and energy in the body, ultimately leading to organ failure and death due to malnutrition."
After careful thought, Mark said to Baymax, "Prepare an ample amount of adrenaline injection solution for me. I need to convert them all into injection projectiles.
Also, how is the situation with Mandarin being handled?"
Mark had previously given Baymax instructions to capture Mandarin and the others alive during his meeting with Kilian.
"They are all tied up. The opposition's defenses were lax, and their equipment was rudimentary. I easily infiltrated and defeated all of them."
"Now all the captured targets have been handed over and brought back."
Mark nodded. Baymax had successfully completed the task, which meant that his own plan could proceed as scheduled.
In order to help Baymax transport Mandarin and the others from Miami to Los Angeles, Mark spared no expense and created the Transformer Optimus Prime, primarily because of its enormous cargo space.
In the future, whether as a mobile base for the Avengers or for transporting goods, it would be very convenient.
"Perfect, today is Monday. Let's drop a news bomb for the journalists. Baymax, contact all the media organizations we collaborate with. I want to hold a press conference, and I want people from all over the world to be able to see it."
The purpose of Mark holding a press conference was not only to announce that he had captured Mandarin, but also to provide an explanation to the families of the deceased employees and give a peace of mind to the terrified population.
More importantly, Mark wanted to inform Kilian about this news in a reasonable manner.
Mandarin, being the puppet controlled directly by him, held crucial secrets. Once he revealed those secrets, Kilian's years of effort would go down the drain.
Therefore, in order to keep his own secrets, Kilian would definitely make a move against Mandarin, whether to rescue him or to eliminate him.
Similarly, as the hero who apprehended Mandarin and brought him to justice, did Mark manage to extract any information from him? Kilian, who is uncertain about this, will definitely make a move against Mark when the time comes.
And what better opportunity for Kilian to strike than when Mark personally visits A.I.M for a tour?
Mark has already planned the script. Kilian will provide the time and stage, and the rest of this grand performance depends on whether Kilian, as a supporting character, is willing to cooperate with Mark, the protagonist, to start the show...
