Chapter 245: Reply
In the operating room, Chen Chen took out a loud, buzzing bone saw and slowly sliced open the chest of a pale-skinned giant lying on the operating table in front of him.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing across Chen Chen’s mask in a brilliant, startling red.
The peculiar thing was that the giant who was being dissected had a face that was ninety percent similar to Chen Chen’s. If one added eyebrows and hair, it would almost be an enlarged version of Chen Chen.
This giant was the tyrant that resulted from Chen Chen cloning his own fertilized egg, which was injected with T-virus and hatched in the life incubator.
The firm skin and muscles that were as tough as rubber tires could not be cut with a scalpel at all, so Chen used an electric bone saw to forcefully cut open the tyrant’s chest.
Following that, an assisting Black Knight stepped forward and swiftly cut out a piece of sample tissue from the tyrant.
Skin, liver, intestines, kidneys, stomach, heart, and lungs…
A sample was cut from every internal organ. These samples were then put on a plate and sent to the workbench on the side.
The bone marrow puncture needle was useless in extracting the brain tissue. Chen Chen had to use the bone saw again to cut the tyrant’s skull bit by bit and extract a part of the brain tissue inside.
As Chen Chen needed infallible experimental data, he had cloned himself with a complete brain, only without forming any consciousness.
Even with a piece of the brain cut off, the life force of this tyrant was still extremely robust. Not only was he a long way from dying, but his wounds were also constantly healing.
Thus, Chen Chen had to inject a syringe filled with cyanide into the tyrant to end the life of this unconscious monster.
Next, Chen Chen took out another clone that had not been injected with T-virus. This clone looked only about ten years old because it had not been injected with T-virus. It was exactly what Chen Chen had looked like when he was a child. Still, it would serve its purpose as a comparison.
At the moment, Chen Chen had four sample clones that had been injected with T-virus and four sample clones that had not been injected with T-virus.
Just when Chen Chen was about to use the samples of internal organs from both sides for comparative analysis, Little X’s voice suddenly came out of the speaker.
“Sir Godfather, Qian Wenhuan sent a message that the negotiation team we sent has reported failure.”
“How did they fail?”
Chen Chen did not look surprised at all. He just walked to the cutting table and asked calmly while slicing off sections from the viscera samples.
“When our people arrived, Osmond had completed the Series B round of financing and the founder of the company acted in a hostile manner toward us.”
“Hostile?”
Chen Chen’s hands froze. “Are they developing drugs to treat Alzheimer’s disease?”
“To think that you got it immediately.”
Little X replied, “According to the report by Anthony, who was in charge of this matter, this was brought up indeed in the discussion with the other party.”
Hearing this, Chen Chen squinted and showed a thoughtful expression. “If we really want to prevent them from developing the drug, there are hundreds of ways with the means we have at our disposal. Nevertheless, compared to that, I’m more interested in knowing how reality would play out the plot in the movie.
“Besides, in retrospect now, the ending of the movie seems very interesting.”
Chen Chen continued. “The protagonist finally arrived at the Los Angeles headquarters from New York, but when he handed over the newly developed drug to the high-level board of directors, he found that the board was also wearing the same clothing as the villains… So, we actually have two options now.”
“I know.”
Little X smiled. “The first one is to follow the plot of the movie and forcefully converge the company’s shares through coercion, assassination, and chip implantation. On the other hand, we could directly eliminate the company at its root or destroy all of their information, so that the plot in the movie would not take place.”
“Yes. To go ‘with’ or ‘against’ the flow — those are our two choices.”
Chen Chen passed the work he was doing to the Black Knight beside him. His face suddenly became increasingly solemn. “Sure enough, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. As I get more and more involved with the USB flash drive, the price of using it also becomes more apparent. Although it seems that these costs are incredibly covert, I feel that once I make a wrong move, it would trigger a ripple of changes, like dominoes…”
Little X was silent for a moment. Although it could be described as the strongest artificial intelligence in reality, when faced with this kind of problem, the logical thinking ability of the computer was still inferior to the human brain.
“Let’s play safe for the first encounter.”
After thinking about it, Chen Chen asked, “Who holds the most shares of Osmond now?”
“That would be Munster Capital. They’ve invested 1 billion USD and now occupy 50% of Osmond’s shares. They’ve also signed a gambling contract,” Little X replied. “Behind this venture capital company is the Munster family, a newly emerging, small financial group with great potential.”
Chen Chen snapped his fingers upon hearing this. “Notify Brando and ask him to send a few members of the B.S.S. force, equipped with memory erasers and cloaking devices, to bring me the one at the helm of this financial group. Little X, you’re in charge of manipulating the data of international flights in North America. I want to see him in three days.”
Since Brando and the rest had formally joined God’s Forbidden Zone, Chen Chen had handed over the command of the B.S.S unit to him. They were responsible for the security of the Eco Science City.
“You’re not using Black Knights?” Little X asked.
“The Black Knights are still not as adaptable to situations, so I’m not too confident in them.”
Chen Chen said, “The Black Knights are still suitable for some simple tasks such as assassinations, regular combat, and so on. However, this time, it’s a kidnapping target. They would have to go through the international airport and many levels of inspections. A Black Knight would be too easily exposed.”
“Got it.”
Little X answered.
Chen Chen did not say anything else, but walked aside and continued to observe the Black Knight slicing the internal organs.
It was not that Chen Chen had not considered using violent means to kidnap the head of the Munster Financial Group, implant a chip in them, then force them to transfer the shares to his own name, before finally destroying the body.
Even so, this was way too aggressive. A major move like the transfer of shares would attract everyone’s attention. At that point, a simple investigation would show that it was the doing of Blacklight Biotechnology.
Although capitalists were all lawless fanatics, there were still rules in this industry. If Chen Chen dared to break such rules in the open, of course, these financial groups would not sit idly by.
After all, if Chen Chen could take someone’s property by force today, he could easily seize someone else’s property tomorrow. No one would tolerate a ticking bomb by their side.
Therefore, even if Chen Chen intended to kidnap his opponent in the first step, he would not kill the guy, let alone implant the God chip. After all, the malpractice of the chip was too significant and easily exposed.
Once exposed, Chen Chen who used such an evil device would immediately be labeled as a public enemy, and he would never rise to the top.
