In the next few days, Luke informed Tony and Phil that Werner had been captured, but that didn't mean that the matter was over.
On the contrary, the Avengers and SHIELD agents were going to several major cities to increase their search efforts.
According to the intelligence obtained from the Inhumans, Werner had sent several teams of two or three people to these cities.
One of them was certain that they had the purified Tyrigan crystal that could awaken Inhumans.
The remaining teams were likely carrying the purified crystal as well, which was in line with Werner's goal of mass-awakening Inhumans.
Although Werner had been captured, the Inhumans controlled by the hive parasites would still carry out his orders, so he couldn't let his guard down.
A small portion of the purified Tyrigan crystal came from Jia Ying's stock.
The rest came from the alien metal cylinder that Gordon had stolen, which was the container that contained the Tyrigan crystal.
The Big Dipper clone went to find the purified Tyrigan crystal the night he caught Werner, along with Dr. Horton Radcliffe, the expert whom Werner had captured.
In fact, the reason why Werner had waited a while before taking action was because he had gone to find an expert to purify the Tyrigan crystal.
The Tyrigan crystal before purification contained impurities, and the efficiency of awakening was rather low. It could even cause ordinary people without Inhuman genes to directly carbonize and die.
Werner didn't want to be hunted down by the entire world before he was strong enough, nor did he want to waste resources needlessly. That was why he had captured Dr. Horton to work for free.
When Luke hadn't purified the Tyrigan crystal, he had also thrown Dr. Horton into Space 2.
This guy had a big red name, and had done a lot of insane human modification experiments.
It just so happened that Dr. Horton had been studying the Tyrigan crystal and the Inhumans recently. In the future, he could study the Inhumans to atone for Luke's sins.
…
In the next ten days or so, the impact of Werner's actions gradually spread.
It was mainly caused by the disappearance of Gideon and his enemies.
Many official forces had received news of Wernar creating Inhumans from the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.
The news of it being killed naturally spread from these two sides to prevent people from panicking or people from using its name to cause trouble.
Without the threat of the villain boss, many people with ulterior motives jumped out and expressed their desire to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of Gideon and the others.
In reality, big shots like Gideon had mysteriously disappeared without a trace. The assets they had left behind were enough to make people jealous.
In a money-hungry society, who wouldn't be tempted by a fat piece of meat that fell from the sky?
Sealing, investigating, and waiting for the trio to do a set of things, all parties would gain a lot of benefits.
These benefits ranged from millions to hundreds of millions. Wouldn't it be nice to keep them in his pocket?
For a time, many groups in many European countries caused quite a stir.
Luke didn't have any intention of stopping things one by one. He even tossed out the bodies of the big shots who had died in the battle at the manor, and exposed the fact that they had been killed by Vernar's gang in Gideon's manor.
In this way, these missing bigwigs were considered to have been "killed" by society.
The various forces that had maintained a certain degree of restraint finally couldn't sit still any longer and began to increase the intensity of the competition.
In the chaos, Luke had gained a huge piece of the pie with the information he had obtained from the missing bigwigs.
Nowadays, he didn't lack clean funds to do research and consolidate his position in society.
However, the maintenance costs and bonuses of PDD's temporary organization were huge, and they couldn't be linked to his identity.
It was the same reason why Luke hadn't laundered money to develop his phone company in the first place.
It wasn't that he didn't want evidence, but that people wouldn't associate him with the black and white forces.
Of course, he had to develop PDD as a superhero to make the best use of the money.
Gideon and the others had a lot of money in their secret accounts.
He had left the shady gray industries in Europe, America, and Latin America to mercenaries and intelligence brokers to manage, and used the profits to expand their own strength.
If these organizations wanted to turn from gray to black and become illegal drug dealers or human traffickers, Luke, who had a list of all the members of these organizations, didn't mind harvesting a bunch of them.
This wasn't a fishing expedition.
Whether it was hotels, nightclubs, bars, or clubs, even if they were operating normally, they would all be very profitable.
Those who insisted on dealing in illegal drugs and human trafficking could only be described as "greed."
It was like selling pork, which was a legitimate business that could make money.
However, some people insisted on selling sick pork to make more money.
Of course, this was due to their greed, and not because selling pork was forcing them to do evil.
Luke didn't feel guilty at all for getting rid of these greedy people who always wanted to take the crooked path.
The reason why Luke's development plan had changed was because of Dr. Horton and the purified Tyregan Crystal.
Before this, he had to rely on luck to meet people with superpowers, and the other party's character and personality were random.
He had met Lorna, the Superpower Sisters, Nikki, and Monica when they were young, and their basic personalities and values were already formed.
It was extremely difficult to change some of their views.
Now, Luke could totally get Dr. Horton to research a method to detect mutants. By observing and nurturing mutants who hadn't awakened since young, he could eliminate most of the people who weren't suitable to join PDD.
When they were adults, they would be given combat strength that far surpassed ordinary people.
The mutants who couldn't maintain a stable mindset and became arrogant would be eliminated from PDD's temporary organization.
Only a very small number of people would consider using the Tyregan Crystal to awaken them.
That still wouldn't completely prevent mutants who obtained superpowers from falling, but everything would be under control.
Even Gordon, who had an almost unsolvable teleportation ability, had been tricked by Luke's long-term psychological suggestion!
Thus, Luke wasn't in a hurry to create teammates with superpowers. Instead, he would secretly take root in society and lay a good foundation for future team members.
This was a long-term and massive plan.
However, most of it could be handed over to Director Sai and Skye. He only needed to set the tone for the beginning.
On the other hand, Luke had gained a lot this time, and there was no need to rush into training teammates.
The "God of Delivery" Wernal provided a huge list of superpowers in one go.
Among them, teleportation, elemental energy attacks, wind and earth control, mind control, metal melting, and so on naturally had suffixes that couldn't be learned, so Luke directly passed.
Werewolves could learn some of them, but Luke decisively rejected them because they were too ugly.
The psychic man's control technique was perfect, and was a useful supplement to his knowledge of how to use psychic powers.
Elena Rodriguez, the Latin American woman who had been electrocuted during the knife fight, provided an ability called "yo-yo," which could move at high speed and return to the starting point in one heartbeat, almost as if it was teleportation.
This ability could actually be learned partially. The prerequisites were 60 for all three attributes and 200,000 credit points.
Luke decisively learned it.
After experimenting with it many times with his clone, he instantly felt the urge to burst into tears. This yo-yo ability was too much of a discount!
