John had heard of the name Chen Chen before.
According to his age, he was now forty years old. When he was in his twenties, he had witnessed the rise of Blackwatch Corporation. In those incredible times, it was this company that rose like a legend, constantly flooding the world of technology and business with all kinds of blockbuster news.
By the time everyone came back to their senses, this company had already stood at the top of the world.
In those years, this name was still heard occasionally. This name was often mentioned in the context of Blackwatch and was also regarded as an influential figure like Jack Ma or Elon Musk. However, every time this name was about to be pushed to the top, it seemed that there was always an invisible hand that pressed it down.
At that time, John once felt that this person was too low-key.
Time flew and more than a decade had passed in the blink of an eye. This name had long disappeared from the Internet and reality. Even John had forgotten about this name. In its place, it was replaced by Qian Wenhuan, Liu Zhijian, Xia Yin, and other CEOs of various continents of Blackwatch. These people had become mythical figures in the business world. Often, with a wave of their hand, they could cause a huge stir in the business world.
Until now, when this name was mentioned again, Hardedef suddenly realized that the owner of this name had always been around. However, he did not know whether it was intentional or not, but he could no longer find any information related to this name on the internet.
In fact, no one in the new generation knew that Blackwatch had another founder, a guy named Chen Chen...
Now that he suddenly heard this name, while recalling, even John could not help but feel a trace of fear in his heart. This person had monstrous power and huge wealth, but was willing to hide under the public eye for more than a decade. This kind of person was not a good person...
This scene flashed in his mind and John came back from his contemplation, but at this time, he saw that the plane had already landed toward Walvis Bay International Airport.
After the luxurious plane landed on a dedicated runway, waiting in front of Hardedef was a limousine and a group of psionicists.
There were a total of five people, led by a man whose aura was no less than Sarah's. Although the remaining four people had slightly weaker auras, they were definitely above Beta-level!
Seeing this group of people, John frowned faintly, thinking to himself that this was indeed the headquarters of the invention of the L compound. Just by casually coming to greet him, there were five Beta-level psionicists, and they were the best of the Beta-level.
"Mr. Oppenheimer."
The man in the lead walked up and shook John's hand. "I'm the head of the B.S.S. Black Security Service. My name is Brando, Blake Brando."
"John Oppenheimer."
Hardedef replied calmly. Facing this group of people, Hardedef could not help but feel a little proud. This was because this group of people basically relied on the L compound to obtain their psionic powers, but Hardedef was different. His psionic powers were awakened after he was infected with the fusion virus.
In terms of identity alone, he was a pure-blooded psionicist.
It was like a 36D woman meeting an artificial 36D in the bathroom. Seeing the other party's rock-hard breasts that couldn't even rise and fall, the pride in her heart involuntarily rose.
"Mr. Oppenheimer's psionic powers are very strong."
With just a handshake, Brando immediately smiled and said, "No wonder you could kill more than a dozen Beta-level Psionicists in one night, but the other party didn't even know your identity."
"Your psionic power is not bad either."
Hardedef replied calmly. He was not jealous of these people who obtained psionic powers through drugs because he knew that the average person could only inject at most three L compound injections in their lifetime. The first injection had a 10% mortality rate, the second injection had a 30% mortality rate, and the third injection had a 50% mortality rate.
Moreover, it was not to say that the more superpowers were injected, the stronger the superpowers would be. The superpowers awakened were all random, with some strong and some weak. If one was unlucky, they would only obtain one superpower after being injected three times in a row.
As for the fourth injection? Sorry, according to the known information, the mortality rate of the fourth injection of the L compound was 100%. The grass on the graves of all those who had been injected with the fourth injection had grown more than three meters high.
"Okay, you guys don't have to flatter each other here."
Lhasa stepped forward. "The boss has been waiting for a long time. Let's go see him as soon as possible."
Hearing Lhasa's words, Brando shrugged and showed a helpless look to Hardedef. Then the three of them got into the stretch car while the other four got into another ordinary car and then drove in the direction of the Eco Science City.
Hardedef was no stranger to this world-famous city. After all, as long as one was on Earth, there was no one who did not know of this city built by the Blackwatch Corporation alone. The population of this city may not be large, but there was a joke often heard on the Internet, that was: If you went to the streets of the Eco Science City to buy a pack of cigarettes, you would run into nine billionaires, and a few of them were politicians of certain countries.
Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was enough to show the prosperity of the Eco Science City. Every day, rich people came here to seek the best treatment conditions, and international stars came here to seek the most cutting-edge cosmetic surgery technology. This was the most prosperous city in the entire Earth Federation.
Looking at the traffic lights and billboards formed by countless holographic projections on the streets, as well as the sci-fi high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, Hardedef felt that he had entered a cyberpunk world. However, unlike the descriptions in sci-fi movies and novels, there were no slums or dark sides of the city here because the poor and gangsters were not qualified to enter here at all.
Looking at this unique city, there was a trace of novelty in Hardedef's eyes. Finally, he looked at the driver's seat in front.
The driver's seat was empty. Generally speaking, even if it was autopilot, there should be a driver sitting in the driver's seat as a backup in case of unexpected situations.
"This isn't ordinary autopilot."
Brando seemed to see Hardedef's doubts and could not help chuckling. "But the intelligence responsible for driving is not in the car, but in the city's intelligent management center."
"What's that place for?"
Hardedef asked curiously.
"It's in charge of all electronic intelligence in the city."
Brando replied, "There's a supercomputer there that regulates every vehicle in the city. The advantage of this is that there will never be a car accident. Not only that, except for private areas in the city, there are cameras everywhere. There are no blind spots. Even the traffic lights on the road, the giant screen advertisements in the sky, and even the electronic signboards on every shop are all controlled by that place."
"It's amazing."
Hardedef could not help but nod.
With Brando taking the initiative to start a conversation, Hardedef gradually relaxed. While they were talking, the car finally arrived at the bottom of the Blackwatch headquarters building.
"Click!"
As the car stopped in front of the main entrance, the door opened automatically. Hardedef slowly got out of the car.
He looked up and immediately saw the tall building. The entire building was so clean that there seemed to be no trace of dust. The floor was smooth and transparent as if the entire building was made of glass and crystal.
This scene reminded Hardedef of a game called Mirror's Edge: Catalyst. The entire city's tall buildings were almost identical to the scenery in that game.
"Please come with me."
Brando and Sara took the lead and entered the building. After passing through the vast hall, the three of them came to a sightseeing elevator, where the android in charge of service had been waiting for a long time.
"Welcome, three of you."
This beautiful android woman was dressed in a uniform. She did not ask the three of them which floor they were going to but directly pressed the button for the top floor while adding, "Mr. Chen has been waiting for you for a long time."
Was he finally going to meet that Chen Chen?
Looking at the pedestrians on the ground rapidly shrinking under his feet, Hardedef's heart was faintly filled with mixed emotions. He could not explain this feeling. He was a little curious about this legendary figure and a little proud.
He was curious because he did not know what the guy who founded Blackwatch looked like. He was proud because, after all, he was the top psionicist in the Earth Federation while the other party was probably just an ordinary person. After all, how many people in real power would dare to bet on the mortality rate of the L compound? Those people's lives were very precious.
With these complicated thoughts in mind, the elevator soon reached the top. With a "ding", the elevator door quickly slid open.
The moment the elevator door opened, all Hardedef saw was a figure sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, silently looking at everything outside the window as if watching the people under his feet.
Brando and Sara walked out of the elevator first and then the two of them lowered their heads gently. At the same time, Brando whispered, "Boss, he's here."
Only then did the figure slowly turn around. Hardedef subconsciously looked at the other party, but what he saw was a slightly handsome man about twenty years old.
However, although the other party's appearance was not as good as his, there was a strange temperament about him, especially those pair of dark, bottomless eyes. The moment he saw those eyes, Hardedef's heart suddenly trembled!
In an instant, he seemed to see a shattered world. Those eyes were like black holes of silence. The other party did not do anything, just glancing at him, but it made his soul tremble.
"Buzz —!"
Subconsciously, a scarlet light appeared in Hardedef's eyes and he almost immediately used a means of self-defense!
"John Oppenheimer?"
However, the other party suddenly spoke. In an instant, the invisible terror quickly dissipated and the whole world emerged again. Hardedef suddenly woke up, only to find that the man in front of him had returned to normal.
It was as if everything before was just an illusion...
"Mr. Chen."
Hardedef put away the horror in his heart. He lowered his head slightly and immediately responded.
"You're not bad."
The man in front of him stood up straight and slowly walked in front of him as if sizing him up. "An Alpha-level psionicist, considered by the media to be the strongest in the world. You killed five enemy leaders in one night. You're really not bad."
"Mr. Chen?"
Hardedef heard this and tried to size up the other party. "I wonder if you have any instructions for me to come here?"
"I have an agreement here."
The man smiled slightly. He turned around and handed a few thin contracts to Hardedef in front of him. "You should have joined God's Forbidden Zone long ago, but you didn't choose to join B.S.S. Instead, you chose to stand in front of the public. Now that the ten-year contract is up, it's time for you to make a new choice."
"I..."
Hardedef frowned slightly. To be honest, although he was also interested in joining God's Forbidden Zone, he did not want to leave his previous job.
This was because in the past ten years, he had become accustomed to being an influential figure in the eyes of the public. He enjoyed the people's fanaticism toward him and enjoyed the worship and love of the public. This feeling was intoxicating...
"Don't worry, the new contract won't make you leave the Superpower Combative Police Force."
The man in front of him seemed to be able to read his mind. He only heard him continue. "This new contract is also for ten years, but the conditions are much more generous than before. Your new identity will be the vice president of Blackwatch's Northern American headquarters. Your status will only be below Liu Zhijian. At the same time, you'll also officially enter God's Forbidden Zone and obtain Alpha-level authority, enjoying the same benefits."
Hardedef's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He immediately took the agreement and read it one by one.
Hearing that Hardedef's conditions were so generous, even Brando and Sarah on the side had a somewhat complicated expression. This person in front of them could be said to be soaring.
"I'm willing to sign this agreement."
Soon, Hardedef raised his head again and the joy in his eyes quickly faded.
"Very good!"
The man suddenly laughed when he heard this. "Hardedef, are you willing to fight for the interests of the company?"
Hearing these words, Hardedef's expression suddenly became solemn. He took a deep breath and then declared, "It's my duty to protect the interests of the company. I will do my best to fight for the company!"
...
A few minutes later, Brando and Sarah led Hardedef away.
However, as soon as the elevator went down, it quickly came back up again. Little X walked out of the elevator. "Sir Godfather, John Oppenheimer has left the building. He told Sarah that he will leave today and return to New York."
Chen Chen nodded and did not speak.
"Do you trust this person?"
Little X suddenly became a little curious. "Will he really do his best to work for the company if we give him such favorable conditions? Human nature is complicated. Even if you intimidated him just now, what if he still betrays you? "
"You don't understand."
Chen Chen shook his head and smiled. "Those who are tied to our chariot of interests are naturally our people. This has nothing to do with trust. After all, as a shareholder, who would destroy the company they invested in?"
Only then did Little X nodded.
In fact, there was also a reason why she was worried. This was because she was used to using the God chip to control humans, but for psionicists like Hardedef, the God chip had lost its effect.
This kind of chip could currently only bind ordinary people and some low-level psionicists, but for the guardian Hardedef who had an immortal body, the God chip was not a threat at all. It could not even be implanted.
Unless the reality anchor was used to first block the psionic power within a few kilometers, only then could the God chip be temporarily implanted.
However, once the reality anchor was removed again, then Hardedef's god physique would quickly recover. Removing the God chip would be as easy as pulling out a thorn that had been pierced into the flesh.
This was why Little X was a little worried.
"There's more than one way to control people's minds," Chen Chen corrected.
Looking at Hardedef who had walked out of the building through the glass window, Chen Chen could not help showing a thoughtful expression.
"I hope it's a good knife..."
