Was it Malik? Or Straker? Or maybe … Pierce? Names popped up in Garrett's mind.
Each of them had the possibility of making a move, but none of them had enough motivation to do so.
To put it simply, there wasn't much to gain from making a move, and they still abided by the division of power.
The world was so big, and there was still a lot of room for everyone to develop. There was no need to enter someone else's territory and snatch some leftovers.
Besides, Lamar didn't just belong to him; the Death Warrior experimental model had another owner.
Strictly speaking, Garrett only had the rights to use part of the technology, and the development was the other owner's business.
Now that Lamar was gone, he had to explain it to this side.
Although he had hidden his identity when they worked together, Garrett didn't want to provoke an enemy of this level. It was too troublesome.
Thinking that, Garrett curled his lip. Now, he could see who was going to cause trouble for them! Some secrets weren't so easy to uncover.
Thinking that, Garrett poured himself a cup of coffee and paid attention to his computer.
…
The first target that Luke had found was already gone.
"That's fast." He curled his lip and went to his second target's residence, only to find that the woman was dressed up and about to go out.
She was a 40-year-old woman who was a department manager in a trading company, and was responsible for the transportation and storage of all kinds of goods.
Since she was a woman, there was nothing to hesitate about.
After Luke knocked her out for a short while, he controlled her with pheromones, and she spat out everything she knew when she woke up.
But this woman wasn't very valuable.
She was a criminal, but she only knew that she was helping someone transport some contraband. She didn't delve into the specifics.
It could be said that she was very smart.
But because she knew too little, she was of no value to anyone.
Luke cursed inwardly. He knew that he had run into a low-value target in Lamar's intelligence.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He only had a few targets for now.
This was still a special zone, and if he made too big of a move, he might attract the attention of the authorities.
In particular, the people on Lamar's list of suspects were probably meeting with big shots somewhere, which would waste a lot of time.
He could only go through the easy targets first.
Those people weren't in that much of a hurry.
If they had money and power, how could they go missing? His decades of hard work would be gone.
Identity was both a protective umbrella and a shackle. Wearing it for security, one had to bear its weight.
The third target was an electronics engineer named Todd Mackson, who had helped Lamarr adjust and maintain mechanical arms and legs.
When Luke found the engineer, he saw that Todd had just left home.
Fortunately, there were not many people here, and it was a winter night where no one went out. Thus, he was able to determine the direction of the person's car through a little smell and followed it.
Right when Luke was about to stop Todd's car, two black SUVs suddenly turned around and forced Todd to a stop.
Two black-masked men in combat uniforms got out of an SUV and helped Todd into their car before leaving.
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Such a coincidence?"
He didn't touch these people.
Engineer Todd wasn't a bad person. At least, the system's judgement of good and evil was yellow neutral.
He could basically confirm that he was just a technician.
Just like the employees and workers who helped Stark's weapons department create a large number of missiles, they wouldn't become villains because they created missiles.
Luke had never planned to get rid of Engineer Todd; he was just a source of intelligence.
Now that this intelligence source had lured out a group of fully armed operatives, Todd had already made a huge contribution.
Luke followed the two SUVs all the way to a suburban factory, but didn't follow them.
The factory was full of surveillance equipment.
It wouldn't be easy to sneak in without anyone noticing.
Besides, there was no need for him to barge in. There was no way the flow of personnel and capital in such a large factory would come up with more clues. Why would he alert the enemy by barging in?
He asked the smart program to quickly search the database, and frowned.
A very familiar name entered his line of sight — Roxxon Energy.
This company wasn't some small fry, but a super trust that ran through Americans' daily lives.
Its name was completely intertwined with America.
For example, if anyone wanted to refuel their car, they would see the "ROXXON" logo on the gas pump three to five times out of ten.
At first, it was indeed called Roxxon Oil, but it had now changed its name to Roxxon Energy, and its ambitions were clear.
This company was kind of a subsidiary of Luke's.
It was the biggest obstacle to Tony entering the energy industry.
The father of Tandy Bowen, the original owner of the Light of Life ability, was also largely responsible for the accident on the offshore platform. It seized everything from the orphan and widow, and forced them to leave with nothing.
In addition, Roxon also had an unclear relationship with the Hand.
Black Sky was Erica's father's company, and its biggest partner was Roxxon Energy, but their business was biopharmaceuticals.
Erica's father had passed away several years ago. Thus, after Luke imprisoned Erica, Roxxon Energy had already used various methods to swallow up Erica's company.
In addition, Roxxon Energy had countersued a terminally ill worker in the top law firm that had gotten Matt and Foggy to leave their internships.
From these incidents, it wasn't hard to tell that Roxxon Energy wasn't just in the energy-related business.
On the contrary, with energy as their base, they extended their reach into more industries.
For example, the manufacturing of mechanical parts, some food raw materials and processing, the construction of some high-end communities, and so on.
At the same time, they also invested a considerable amount in high-tech industries such as clean energy, cutting-edge materials, biopharmaceuticals, and so on.
As a super capital corporation, it naturally wouldn't foolishly invest on its own.
Many small companies would have their shares acquired through various methods before they could reap the fruits of their success.
Whether they held on to the shares and sold them or swallowed them up depended on the benefits.
In that respect, Titanium Phone Company, which Jenny was in charge of, was as pure as a newborn angel.
Even Stark Industries had its limits.
Roxxon Energy, on the other hand, was a paragon of big capital. It was cold, heartless, despicable, vicious, and vicious.
It was just that most ordinary people didn't hear negative news about this company.
If the Hydra was a venomous snake with nine heads, it could cause a large number of innocent deaths every time it attacked.
The Roxon Company was a vicious jackal that constantly hunted the weak in order to live a more comfortable life.
Thinking for a moment, Luke set up surveillance cameras at the intersection near the factory, then left.
It didn't matter what role Roxxon Energy played in this matter.
What was important was that it would be his leek field sooner or later, so he could just ignore it this time.
