"Master, slow down, be careful not to fall..."
The white-haired old butler helped a dignified, gray-haired man slowly get off the plane. Seeing that the man's pace was a little fast, he hurriedly exhorted.
"Becker, you don't have to help me."
The dignified man pulled out his arm and said somewhat helplessly, "Old man, I'm no longer the Paul Brown of the past."
"Alright, Master."
Seeing this, the white-haired butler spread his hands.
Looking at this stubborn butler, the dignified man just shook his head helplessly. The other was five years older than him and had served him all his life. It was not good to blame the other.
Below the plane, there were already more than a dozen bodyguards standing with their hands behind their back. When they saw him get off the plane, they greeted him one after another, using their bodies to block in front of him, then led him out of the airport.
"Master, look over there, it's Felix Munster..."
Just as they were about to leave the plane, a group of people also rushed out of the parking space next to the one they were in, led by a middle-aged man who looked no more than forty or fifty years old.
Not only that, but someone on the other side also seemed to have reminded him, so the two looked over almost at the same time. Their eyes completely met at this moment.
Looking at this old enemy who could not be more familiar with him, a gloomy glint flashed in Paul's eyes, but then he laughed out loud.
"Hahahahaha! Felix, I didn't expect to meet you here? "
"I'm the one who's surprised, Paul. I didn't expect you to come to Namibia in person!"
The two quickly walked in and then hugged each other warmly.
"I haven't seen you for four or five years. I heard that you handed over all your work to your son. Are you on vacation in Namibia now?"
Paul said enthusiastically, "Namibia is indeed a good place for a vacation!"
"Aren't you the same? I heard that your son Sharron had a major surgery two years ago and even his two kidneys were replaced. Is it because of this that you're forced to come out of retirement again? "
The other party was also hiding a needle in a velvet glove. Hearing this, Paul's face suddenly darkened.
The reason why he said that was because the man in front of him was the founder of the Munster Financial Group. However, four or five years ago, the old man in front of him retired from the management of the company due to Alzheimer's and let his son, Adrian, take over the board of directors.
Usually, patients with this disease would not live for more than a few years, but he did not expect that the other party would join the Blackwatch Corporation. Not only was Alzheimer's disease cured, but he also withstood the age-reversal treatment and became a young man in his forties or fifties like himself. This really made Paul angry.
The reason why the other party said this about him was that he had previously made a move against the chairman of Blackwatch. In the end, not only did he fail to defeat the other party, but the other party even cut off two of his son's kidneys. This incident had become a laughing stock in the plutocracy.
"God bless me, but not only did my son get a new kidney, he also kept six mistresses, and now he has eight children."
Paul smiled. "I wonder how your son Adrian is doing?"
"My son isn't as courageous as your son to replace his kidney. Besides, the heirs of our family are also very outstanding. I don't think they need to keep giving birth like pigs."
Felix also retorted sarcastically.
The exchange between the two suddenly ended on bad terms.
When Paul got into his private car, he was panting a little. If it were not for the age-reversal treatment, his high blood pressure would have acted up just now.
"Master, calm down, be careful of your body."
The old butler on the side kept comforting him.
"Hmph, isn't he the same, submitting to the feet of Blackwatch?"
Paul was indignant and then quickly said, "Tell the driver to drive faster, we must arrive at the Biological Research Center one step ahead of the other party and see Chen Chen."
"Yes."
The old butler nodded.
Immediately, the entire car quickly started and drove along the VIP passage out of the airport.
Half an hour later, the car drove into the Biological Research Center of Eco Science City and stopped at the bottom of a diamond-shaped building.
This building was extremely tall, almost more than a third of the other tall buildings in the entire Eco Science City. It could be seen from far away at the Walvis Bay International Airport. This was the newly built landmark of Eco Science City — Blackwatch's African Region Headquarters Building.
This building was 230 meters tall, with a total floor area of 150,000 square meters. The main building had a total of 62 floors.
"We're here, Master."
As the car stopped in front of the building, the butler immediately said, "Master, although the bodyguards can't follow you, I should be allowed to go up with you, right?"
"No need, I'll go up alone."
Paul pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and then got out of the car alone and walked into the headquarters building.
This was the first time Paul came to this newly built headquarters building. Before the building was built, he always went to the old office building of the Biological Research Center to see Chen Chen.
The interior decoration of the building was strictly speaking not luxurious, and there was even a hint of simplicity and futurism. The huge square, as if paved with white glass, could almost reflect everyone's shadow, and the walls were made of the same large blocks of white and green style wall paint. Outside the wall paint, there was even a layer of glass decoration, giving an extremely clean and transparent feeling of comfort.
Paul understood that at their level, luxurious decorations could no longer satisfy them. Instead, they were more inclined to a simple yet not simple feeling. The huge hall in front of him was decorated in an extremely simple and futuristic style.
Paul only glanced at this scenery and took it all in. Then, he did not linger too long and went directly to the front desk of the hall.
The front desk of the hall was a green glass counter that integrated into the entire hall. Behind the counter was a Chinese girl with a somewhat dull expression. The girl's eyes moved along with Paul's movements. Paul suddenly felt a little strange and he carefully looked at the other party without any hesitation.
Unlike ordinary people, the eyes of the girl in front of him had an inexplicable emptiness as if she was not a real person. Not only that, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, seemingly smiling, but upon closer inspection, Paul felt a little creeped out.
Because the more he looked at this smile, the more he felt it was fake.
As Paul walked closer and closer, he got a clearer and clearer view of the other party's appearance. It had to be said that the appearance of this girl in the reception uniform was almost flawless. She was so beautiful that she was crystal clear and flawless, and there was not the slightest blemish on her skin. Still, the more this was so, the more Paul felt a chill run down his spine.
When Paul completely walked to the counter, the girl in front of him finally spoke, "Dear sir, hello, I'm Android Receptionist No. A0003. How may I be of service?"
In this voice, Paul actually heard a hint of electronic music...
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, Paul's eyes widened. He stared at the young receptionist in front of him in disbelief as if he wanted to see through the other party completely. "What did you just say, who are you?"
"I'm Robot Receptionist No. A0003. Is there anything I can do for you?"
The girl in front of him repeated mechanically.
"Android?"
Paul suddenly took a deep breath. He raised his arm in disbelief and slowly touched the girl across the counter. It was not until he completely touched the other party's cheek and felt the touch of cold and inhuman skin that he was really sure.
No wonder the girl in front of him always felt that something was wrong. She was not a real person!
"Oh my God..."
At this moment, Paul only felt that a hundred thousand alpacas were galloping through his heart. Android? He had only seen this scene in movies — that was more than 40 years ago, when he was in his prime and took his mistress to the cinema to watch the movie called "Alien"...
Shaking his head with a sigh, Paul then looked around. Was there no real receptionist here?
"How may I be of service?"
Seeing that Paul did not answer, the Android girl in front of him asked again.
"Huh?"
Paul's attention was finally drawn to this question. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something.
Just before the Android in front of him was about to continue to ask questions, he finally said tentatively, "I want... I have an appointment with Chen Chen. I'm going to see him now. Can you confirm it for me?"
After Paul finished speaking, he stared at the Android in front of him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Three seconds passed and the Android in front of him seemed to be stunned. There was no reaction at all, no movement, not even a blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Paul could only shake his head. "Sure enough, how could Blackwatch possibly create such an advanced Android..."
"Mr. Chairman has been notified and the other party has agreed to your visit. Please go to the top floor on the 62nd floor."
Before he finished speaking, the Android in front of him spoke again.
Until this time, Paul finally raised his head abruptly and looked at the other party in disbelief.
The Android in front of him actually understood his request!
If this company was not so bored as to scare visitors with a robot remotely controlled by someone behind it, then did it not mean that Blackwatch already had the technology to create Androids that could communicate smoothly with humans and had more than 95% realism?
When the world's best robotics and AI technology was still at the level of the mechanical dog BigDog, had this amazing company already reached this level?
Although Paul was already in his eighties, he was the product of an elite education. Even though he was old, his ability to accept new things was far greater than that of a forty-five-year-old middle-aged man. It was this ability that allowed him to maintain his family for a long time.
In addition, now that he had received the age-reversal treatment, his mentality had become more positive and youthful. Therefore, he deeply understood what this ordinary and even somewhat terrifying Android in front of him meant to the entire world...
"Please go to the 62nd floor."
Just when Paul's heart was shaking, the other party urged again.
"Okay, okay!"
Only then did Paul recover. He took one last deep look at the Android, then turned and walked to the elevator.
Because the floor was too high, a total of five elevators were prepared in the entire building, each with a huge capacity that could carry twenty people. At this time, Paul randomly chose an elevator and then stood directly in.
When he walked into the elevator, Paul actually saw that the Android was staring at him, and there was still that stiff smile on the corner of its mouth...
"F * ck..."
Paul frowned and then the elevator door closed, completely blocking his view.
Shaking his head, Paul abandoned the strange Android in his mind and pressed the button for the 62nd floor. Suddenly, he only felt a force of gravity hit his body. It was the overweight phenomenon formed by the rapid rise of the elevator, but this feeling soon disappeared completely.
On the instrument, Paul could see that the elevator was moving extremely fast, almost jumping at a rate of one floor per two seconds. In less than two minutes, he arrived at the top floor.
"Ding, the 62nd floor has been reached."
There was a prompt in the elevator and then the elevator door slowly opened, revealing the space behind the elevator door.
After seeing the layout of the entire 62nd floor, Paul took a deep breath.
He saw that the entire 62nd floor was empty. There were no corridors or so-called offices here. There was only a hall as huge as the first floor!
However, the decoration here was more simple. Whether it was the floor or the ceiling, they were all paved with blue-gray PVC material. On the outer layer of the PVC material, there was a layer of highly transparent glass covering, as if all the materials were made of crystal, smooth and slippery.
The entire 62nd floor of the building had been stripped of all support and had become a huge office. However, this super large office was not surrounded by walls, but by floor-to-ceiling windows that took up the entire wall!
At a glance, Paul even had the illusion of being high in the sky.
When the entire space became empty, then the only furnishings were extremely conspicuous. The only furnishings on the 62nd floor were a huge silver-gray metal desk placed near the floor-to-ceiling windows.
At this moment, a young man was sitting in front of this desk.
