After Tang Yu arrived in the United States, Bolivar Trask greeted him and whispered, "Boss, selling the robot technology to the Soviets, isn't this a bit …"
"You have to know our position, Trask," Tang Yu waved his hand and said, "I am not on the side of the United States, nor am I on the side of the Soviet Union. I am on the side of humans! I am taking action to eliminate the barriers and differences between ordinary people and mutants. In order to achieve this goal, we must build a power that is above humans and mutants, and this power is robots. "
"I understand your painstaking efforts, but this result may make you lose both sides …" Trask said in a deep voice, "The Soviets are arrogant. After they build the robot army, they will definitely do something. And at that time, no matter how you hide it, the Americans will eventually suspect you. "
"Hehehehe … So what if the Americans directly declare war on me? It's not like I haven't fought against the United States in the multiverse. "Tang Yu laughed and said," By the way, is there any progress on the Essex company? "
"I found some clues. Let's go to the office." Trask pointed to the front and then walked there with Tang Yu.
The two had only walked a few steps when Kyla quickly walked over. Her expression was a little heavy. "The demoness and the others have also left. She said she doesn't want to have anything to do with us … In addition, the healing Laser Eyes and Card King also expressed the same opinion."
"What do you want to say?" Tang Yu was not surprised and just asked lightly.
"I mean … Maybe the Pufferfish incident and the invasion of Cuba are unacceptable to them," Kyla whispered.
"What about you?"
Kyla shook her head. "I will not leave because this is my duty."
"So do you know the difference between you and the demoness?" Tang Yu said, "They are heroes. Wolverine, demoness, angel, siren, Darwin … heroes can't have their own standpoint. Their only standard can only be good and evil. Otherwise, heroes are no longer heroes. "
"They will declare war on everything that is considered 'evil', and we absolutely can't give them such a platform. Because we have our own standpoint and goals. Heroes were short-sighted. They could only see the good and evil in front of them. To them, if they could save one person in front of them, they would not be willing to consider whether they could save more people a month later. But it is precisely because of this that they are heroes, worthy of being revered by others. "
"But you are different." Tang Yu pointed at Kayla and Trask. "You are people who do things. You have a clear goal in your actions, and you don't care about the obstacles in your way. Therefore, you are the ones who push history forward. If you want to do that, you can't be a hero. "
Kyla lowered her head in deep thought. Tang Yu walked over and patted her on the shoulder. "Actually, Emma is also like Wolverine, but because of our relationship, she will accept my values and think that what I'm doing is right. Alright, don't pay too much attention to Wolverine and the others. Perhaps it would be better to let them move freely. Because when we look into the distance, these heroes will help us pick up the forgotten things in front of us. "
"Pick up what?" Kyla asked.
"Human nature." Tang Yu gave a simple answer and called Kyla and Trask into the office.
In the office, Peacock was already waiting. She looked at Tang Yu and smiled. She stood up and turned on the holographic screen in front of her. She clicked on the information on it and said, "While you were entangled with Cuba and the Soviet Union, I cooperated with Trask to investigate the Essex Company. The conclusion is that this company both exists and doesn't exist. "
"What do you mean?" Tang Yu asked with a frown.
"I said that this company doesn't exist because, first, they are not registered. Second, they have no fixed source of funds. Third, they have no office space. Fourth, all of their employees are part-time," Peacock said. "So as long as we investigate openly, we won't be able to find them. Fortunately, Trask judged that if the Essex Company had any influence in the United States, then it would definitely have a relationship with the Rockefeller family. So I sneaked into the Rockefeller family's business to conduct some investigations. "
Trask also added, "Boss, as you have judged before, the Sentinel MK-4 robot developed by Lockheed has a fatal and low-level defect. Logically speaking, this kind of flaw shouldn't exist! So, the target of our investigation is to start with the MK-4 project. We found that the former design director of Lockheed got drunk in a bar after the MK-4 had a problem. Then, he was hit by a car and died. What's strange is that his body was cremated the next day, and nothing was left. "
Tang Yu frowned and said, "If the Essex Company hadn't caused trouble first, his death would have been justifiable no matter what. It's normal to get drunk because of the blow to one's career and the pain of failure. But if all this is based on the judgment that there is a conspiracy, then it's very likely that there is a problem! "
Peacock nodded and said, "That's right, and there must be something unspeakable on this person's body. So, I kidnapped his wife. In fact, his wife didn't know anything, but after Emma deeply hypnotized her, she found some clues. "
"What clues?" Tang Yu asked.
"On his waist, there was a very inconspicuous tattoo, and the word on the tattoo was Essex! Essex! "Peacock said in a deep voice.
Tang Yu suddenly stood up. "You're saying that the Rockefeller family's plan to develop the Sentinel MK-4 was actually a trap?!"
"Yes! Someone deliberately gave the blueprints of the Sentinel MK-3 left by Edward Bachman to the Rockefeller family, causing them to have this ambition. And this person should have been in Edward Bachman's team at that time, "Peacock said.
"How do you know?"
Peacock directly took out a roll of blueprints and spread it on the table. When Tang Yu saw the blueprints, his pupils suddenly shrank! This was because the blueprints had very obvious traces of being soaked in red wine, and there were many smears and alterations on it! Impressively, it was the blueprints that Tang Yu had brought to the meeting with Edward Bachman! At that time, Tang Yu had made some changes to the blueprints, which convinced Edward Bachman, and then accidentally knocked over a glass of red wine!
"In other words … this person …"
"Yes! It's Edward Bachman's chief technical consultant at that time, Steven Lang! The blueprints came from his hands! He's probably related to the Essex Company! "Trask said with certainty.
Tang Yu's face turned gloomy. "If that's the case, then the other party has been planning since the Hellfire Club's internal strife? This kind of thinking is too scary! "
