"Father, you called for me?"
Not long after, a tall, handsome middle-aged man walked in.
The man was about forty years old, blond and blue-eyed. He was a standard Caucasian and his expression was full of confidence and nobility.
"Leo, you're here."
Norman waved his hand at the secretary beside him. "Alimi, you can leave first."
"Yes."
The secretary hurriedly nodded and quickly left the room. She even closed the door gently on the way.
The man called Leo was startled, but his expression turned solemn. He quickly walked up to his father and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen?"
"Take a look at this." Norman raised his head and handed him the invitation in his hand.
After meeting his father's eyes, Leo suddenly realized that his father was obviously different from usual. There seemed to be something in his eyes.
It was a sharp light.
Leo had often seen this kind of light when he was young, but as his father grew older, he rarely saw this kind of light in his father's eyes.
This was because every time his father had this kind of light in his eyes, it meant that he was about to make a far-reaching decision...
Did it have something to do with this invitation?
Leo's heart skipped a beat and he quickly flipped through it.
At first, Leo only frowned but as he flipped through the pages, the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense. In the end, even his breathing became heavier...
It was not until twenty minutes later that Leo finally put down the invitation. His expression was solemn. "Father, where did this invitation come from?"
"I don't know."
Norman lowered his eyes, making it hard to decipher his current emotions. "The other party used a way to avoid everyone around me and put the thing in my hands twenty minutes ago."
"That's impossible!" Leo could not help but say. "Perhaps, he used a drone or bribed a bodyguard?"
"Are you questioning my judgment?" Norman narrowed his eyes.
"I wouldn't dare!" Leo hurriedly lowered his head.
"I know it's hard to accept, but it's the truth..."
Norman pointed to the closed door. "I've been lying here all this while and Emily was the only one in the room. This means that the other party might have some kind of ability to avoid all my bodyguards and easily kill me."
"It's threatening you?" Leo's expression became even more serious.
"I think the other party does have this hidden meaning."
Norman stood up slowly. "Contact a biological expert. I want to know if this technology is real or fake, and … if it can be replicated."
…
A few hours later, an old man in a white coat appeared in Norman's CEO office.
He sat in front of the computer and watched all the videos with a solemn expression. He flipped through the information in his hands unwillingly before putting it down reluctantly.
"Mr. Moss, is it possible for this technology to be faked?" Leo quickly asked.
"I can't find any traces of forgery."
The old man sighed and stood up from his seat. "Although it's a little hard to believe, the principle is indeed feasible. However, there are still some technical issues that need to be studied."
"Then, if I give you this information, can you replicate the same technology?" Norman asked calmly.
"There's hope!" The old man's eyes suddenly lit up. "These two pieces of information have given me a lot of inspiration. If I were to conduct the research, I'm confident that I can replicate the first technology in five years and with a billion US dollars' worth of funding!"
Hearing this, Norman and his son looked at each other and saw the regret in each other's eyes.
"Only the first?"
"Uh..."
The old man suddenly said awkwardly, "Perhaps in your opinion, the second technology seems to be simpler than the first. It's only related to the cultivation of human clones, but the difficult part is the machine called 'life incubator' that the other party used. I don't know how this machine solves the problem of in vitro cultivation, but at least as far as I know, the Federation can't do it within ten years."
"Okay, we understand."
Norman nodded at his son, and Leo immediately stepped forward and led the old man out of the room. "Mr. Moss, you've done a good job. I'll transfer the hush money and the hiring fee to your account, but please keep your mouth shut about what happened before. Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be..."
"Mr. Leo, are you really not considering letting me replicate this technology? I can... "
"We can talk about this next time." Leo asked the other party to leave in an unquestionable tone, then winked at the two bodyguards.
The two bodyguards nodded silently and followed him out of the room.
After sending the expert away, Leo returned to Norman. He was about to say something but saw his father's contemplative look.
After a long time, Norman finally exhaled. He raised his head and looked at his son. "Leo, did the website say how to contact them?"
"They gave a date and an address."
Leo turned on the computer and confirmed, "The date is May 30th, ten days later. The address is... Walvis Bay, Namibia, Africa."
"Ten days later?"
Norman frowned, then looked at Leo solemnly. "Leo, I'll arrange for you and Jessica to go there. I want to know if the other party's projects are real or just a scam."
"I understand, Father."
Leo nodded and then lowered his eyes.
When his overbearing father gave an order, he could only obey.
After making the decision, Norman lay back on the recliner and flipped through the invitation letter again as if he wanted to engrave each letter into his mind.
Seeing this, Leo knew that it was time for him to leave.
He took one last look at the invitation letter, then turned around and left the office, gently closing the door behind him.
However, he did not know if it was an illusion, but the moment he closed the door, he seemed to see a flash of greed in his father's eyes.
...
Seeing that the two of them had set the tone, Cheng Cao, who was in stealth mode, turned around and left the office silently with the ability of the GS Combat Suit.
However, he did not go far. Instead, he hid near the Financial City, ready to make another move at a moment's notice.
After all, someone as cautious as Chen Chen would not expose his trump card when the other party's intentions were unclear. Even if it was exposed, Chen Chen would still have a backup plan.
This backup plan, in addition to Cheng Cao's team of B.S.S. members who had GS Combat Suits, Little X was also monitoring Norman's call records 24 hours a day.
If Norman's previous decision was not to cooperate but to become Chen Chen's enemy, then Cheng Cao would use the memory eraser to erase their previous memories.
To improve the efficiency of this operation, Chen Chen extracted five cloaking devices and distributed them to the other five members. This Predator cloaking device was only the size of a longan and was easy to carry. It could be extracted with a little bit of electricity.
It was not that Chen Chen did not consider the Controller cloaking device in Gaidu, but that device needed to be worn on the arm and its weight and size were far greater than the cloaking device of the Predator. In the end, Chen Chen ruled it out.
In this way, Cheng Cao and the five members delivered eleven invitations to eleven plutocrats in batches. On the day of the appointment, everyone would gather in Walvis Bay, Namibia.
