1615. Expansion of Influence
Rutgers University, New Jersey, United States.
The dwarf was at most 1.3 meters tall. His head was a little disproportionate to his body, and he looked very mature. He had a thin face, high cheekbones, and a mustache. He walked in the university with a thick stack of materials in his hands.
When the surrounding students passed by him, all of them had looks of disdain on their faces. Some of them even pointed at him and whispered to each other. A look of humiliation appeared on the Midget's face, but he still walked towards the school's office building with determination.
At this moment, a big, burly, and handsome man in sportswear walked over. He looked at the midget with disdain. When he passed by him, he suddenly took a wrong step and slammed into the midget! The strength of this 1.9-meter-tall man was not something the dwarf could resist. He was immediately knocked a few meters away and fell to the ground, unable to get up. The documents were also scattered on the ground.
"Ah, I'm sorry, you're really too short. I've tried very hard, but I still can't see you." The big man walked over with a bright face and reached out his hand to the dwarf.
"It's okay … It's okay …" The dwarf did not suspect anything. He reached out and held the big man's hand. However, at this time, the big man grabbed him and yanked him. The dwarf was suddenly pulled away. With a thud, he flew a few meters away and fell on his face.
"Hahahahaha!! You're too light, dwarf. Hahahahaha!!! "The big man finally showed his true colors and laughed loudly.
The dwarf's face turned red. He realized that he had been played. He did not say a word and began to squat on the ground to pick up the scattered documents. Between the lines of the documents, words like X-Gene and mutants could be seen.
At this time, a foot wearing a gray suit and black leather shoes appeared in the dwarf's sight. He heard a voice say sternly, "Apologize immediately!!"
The dwarf raised his head and saw a man wearing an expensive gray suit. He looked extraordinary standing in front of him. He was facing the big man who had teased him just now.
"Huh? Are you kidding? Apologize? Me and this dwarf? Hahahahaha! " The big man laughed, but before he could finish, his stomach was kicked hard, and the rest of his words were immediately swallowed.
The dwarf watched in shock as the man casually beat up the big man. His movements were relaxed and elegant. Not only that, but the man was also very heavy-handed. He punched the big man's elbow joint, and with a crack, the big man's arm was twisted into a strange angle!
"Ah ah ah!!!" The big man screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and the surrounding onlookers immediately scattered.
At this time, the man had already arrived in front of the dwarf, bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Bolivarian Trask, I am the representative of the Guardian Group. I sincerely invite you to join our group."
The dwarf was stunned and could not say a word. Not only him, but the surrounding people were also stunned by this turn of events! Guardian Group!! No one knew about them a few months ago, but now people knew that this group owned the world's largest oil field and was about to become the world's largest oil supplier in the future! Now, such a behemoth actually took a fancy to such a lowly dwarf?!!
"You … Are you … joking?" Bolivarian Trask murmured. "You're not here to laugh at me, are you?"
The man smiled and turned sideways, only to see four very luxurious business cars driving over. The cars were painted with the Guardian Group's unique T-shaped logo. The doors opened, and several people in black suits got out of the cars and bowed respectfully to him!
"Do you think I'm joking? This is the Guardian Group's most sincere invitation, and it's what you deserve, Mr. Bolivarian Trask. You just need to answer, are you willing to join the Guardian Group and use your life's knowledge to benefit mankind? Or continue to stay here …? "he asked faintly.
"If what you said is true, I'll join! I'll join!! I'll definitely join!! "Bolivarian Trask's eyes even oozed tears, and he nodded vigorously. Then, surrounded by the bodyguards in black, under the surprised gaze of the people around, he walked into the car.
At the same time, in the university office building, the school principal was respectfully saying to the other side of the phone, "Please rest assured, Mr. Rockefeller. Bolivarian Trask is just a slightly deformed student. I've called him over."
At this time, a teacher suddenly stumbled in and said loudly, "Not good, Principal!! Bolivarian Trask, he … he was picked up by the Guardian Group!! "
Thump … The telephone receiver in the principal's hand fell to the ground, making a muffled sound.
…
In the car, Bolivarian Trask looked at the luxurious interior of the car and felt a little uneasy. He looked at the man in gray sitting beside him and asked in a low voice, "Erm, thank you for just now … May I know your name is …"
"My real name has been forgotten. You can call me Riptide," said the man in gray.
Trask's eyes suddenly widened, and he said loudly, "You … you are a mutant!? I!! Let me get off! I want to get off!! I don't want to be with a mutant!! "As he said that, he wanted to pull the door handle.
Riptide easily held him down and said, "Don't be impatient, Mr. Trask. Is what we did today not enough to show our sincerity? It doesn't matter what you think, the chairman of the Guardian Group, Tang Yu is waiting for you. If you have any questions, ask him face to face, how about it? "
Bolivarian Trask nodded with a gloomy face, but he still sat to the side, trying to keep a distance from Riptide.
…
In a hospital in New York, Tang Yu stood in front of a bed with a gloomy face. Lying on the bed was a madman who was mumbling. A day ago, he was one of the members of the Hellfire Club during Edward Bachman's time, and later invested in the Guardian Group and became one of the shareholders.
"You … are crossing the line … Directly taking this step, it really makes me look down on you, Charles Xavier. Or is it that at this stage, Professor X is still just a hothead? " Tang Yu said to himself. He raised his wrist and pulled out a video from his personal terminal. It was taken by a hidden camera in the shareholder's house. This camera clearly recorded everything that Charles and the others did to the shareholder!
A cold smile appeared on Tang Yu's lips, and he turned and walked out of the hospital.
