"Sorry, I went to the military hospital for something, so I'm late."

I left Frank's place and hurried back to Manhattan. It was already 12:30 noon. I seemed to be a lot late. I walked into the hotel and went to the private room. When I opened the door, I saw Edward and a strange man. They had already started eating. The strange man seemed to have an amputated arm. He had a weathered appearance and was wearing glasses. He was in his forties. When he saw Peter, he managed a smile.

"Gard"

Apologizing, he sat down and poured himself a glass of red wine before continuing to explain.

"Well, he's a veteran and has something to do with my sales business, so I went to check on his health."

"It's okay, we just arrived."

Edward smiled and said it didn't matter. Among familiar friends, it's normal to be late and have trouble. Especially for people like Peter who work out early in the morning and work hard to make money. He is not a good person who makes money for his own life.

"Peter is the biology professor I told you about. He is an authority on genetics. He also participated in the Vietnam War and was one of the most famous military doctors at the time, Kurt Connors."

Pointing to the man on the side to introduce him, Edward's tone was very respectful and of course also had a hint of ridicule. The man shook his head with a wry smile and complained.

"Edward, please don't pay me such compliments. You and I both know that I didn't participate in the war at all. The war was over when I went."

The other party looked at his arm subconsciously, obviously still a little concerned about the disability of his arm. Peter did not ask about these things. Anyway, he could just ask Edward privately. After a while, the waiter brought out the exquisite dishes, and the three of them looked at each other. Peter asked while eating

"Is Ed's condition okay now?"

After hearing the question and putting down his knife and fork, Edward pointed at Connors again. Obviously Connors was the protagonist of today's discussion.

"I called you today because of this matter. Connors has a plan that seems to be able to treat Ed. However, this plan cannot be launched immediately. It will take some time to perfect. I have already contacted him. Our dean has discussed it and hired Connors to come to our hospital to do public research, provide funds to Connors, and share the patents at the same time."

"Congenital heart disease is not a hopeless disease. Through years of studying biology, I have discovered that in the genes of lizards and other animals, there is a rapidly growing gene that can be extracted. If we can slightly adjust this substance , and convert it into stem cells that are beneficial to humans, then we may be able to do more than just save a child."

There seemed to be no common language in the silent communication at first, but when it came to academic issues, Connors's tone began to become more confident. This may be a common problem among scientists. They immerse themselves in research and stay away from the world. As a result, they cannot communicate with normal people. When it comes to communication, I either feel that they are mentally retarded or that talking to them is a waste of time and worthless, but when it comes to my major, they are completely different.

Listening to Connors' words, Peter nodded. The genius scientist was highly praised by Edward. Connors would definitely not be a braggart. If he didn't have any real talent and knowledge, he wouldn't be respected like this by Edward. Knowing that Edward himself is also a professor at Columbia University School of Medicine, and even serves as a substitute teacher once a week, such a big shot will never make a mistake.

"It's a pity that our hospital was acquired by someone a few days ago. Now the general public is in panic, and the director is unable to make decisions on many things."

Edward's words were a bit regretful. Because of the problems in the hospital, many things cannot be implemented now. Once the owner changes, although I don't know the saying "Emperor and Courtier", the meaning of this saying is also quite applicable in the United States. Peter smiled. After answering, he patted Edward on the shoulder and said

"This is not a problem. A partner I know purchased your hospital and renamed it Covenant. From now on, Edward, the hospital will be fully managed by you."

"Are you sure Peter, what kind of sales do you do to make so much money?"

Edward looked at Peter in astonishment and was curious about Peter's work for the first time. You must know that the private hospital where he works is not a small hospital. If you want to acquire it, you will need at least 10 million in funds. This is only the minimum share. , and then miscellaneous financial subsidies, at least between 30 million and 50 million must be spent. Peter was struggling with tens of thousands of dollars some time ago. It is impossible to have so much money in an instant. If it is really Now that Edward is here, he doesn't dare to be friends with Peter anymore, because unless he goes to rob a bank, he really doesn't know how to think about earning such a large amount of money.

Peter said he was very casual. In fact, the money was really not a lot, and he did not give too much to the boss of the hospital. He added the five million he defrauded from Potts, plus what Kingpin had given him some time ago, and what he had received from Ouba. All the money Diastan defrauded was deposited in Citibank, and then he communicated with the owner of the hospital through his identity as an agent and fully purchased the hospital at a 30% premium.

At the same time, because he did not have that much money, he used 20 million as a basis, so he signed a gambling agreement with the other party under the witness of Citibank, and gave the hospital a wholly-owned payment within two years. Otherwise, there would be two parties to Citibank. Everything belongs to the other party. Under this temptation, even if they didn't know Peter's identity, the hospital said they were happy to sign the agreement. The matter was resolved in one fell swoop, and then the burden on him became even heavier.

"Trade secrets are mainly used to help some wealthy people run errands and deal with some business problems. Then I get to know those big guys and ask them to do some charity activities."

"Then our plan can start directly?"

Peter's explanation was a bit perfunctory, and Edward couldn't continue to ask questions. He didn't know whether it was a clean slate, but Peter had already said that it was not his own money, but the funding from the big boss, so he could only believe it. The advantage now is that he can start research and treat more patients. As for who the boss of the hospital is, Edward doesn't really care, as long as he's not a bad guy or a demon.

"Connors it's time to eat"

Excited, Connors stood up from his seat. Edward smiled and shook his head to remind him. Connors sat down again in embarrassment. He lowered his head shyly to cover up his actions and explained.

"Hahahaha, I'm rude. To be honest, my theory has been rejected many times. Many people think that I am fanciful, even though my academic work has a strong scientific basis and has successful cases. , but still couldn’t get those scientists to agree with my idea.”

"There's no danger."

Listening to Connors' explanation, Peter suddenly had a very ominous premonition. Lizard and Gene had such a movie in his mind, which seemed to be Spider-Man, but he didn't know the name of the lizard at all. How could a ghost remember it so clearly? , Edward was afraid of causing misunderstandings.

"What he is talking about is to completely extract the genes of the entire animal and inject them into the human body, so that people can regenerate their limbs or stop getting sick. However, many of the key technologies cannot be solved. However, the problem of injecting stem cells is a minor problem. As long as a few details are changed, there is absolutely no danger with Connors' genius."

"Well, the extraction of whole-body genes is very dangerous. I dare not say that the direction is right now. It will take a long time for me to research, or it may be seven or eight years before I dare to do in vivo experiments. The whole idea is still just It remains in the file, but Mr. Peter, I make a promise to you. Within one year, I will create a drug that can promote the recovery of congenital heart disease, not just congenital heart disease, but all heart disease. I will work hard to solve the problems one by one. I will give priority to these matters and give you a satisfactory answer, so that the child named Ed and patients all over the world can have a hopeful future."

As Connors added, Peter nodded knowingly. As long as it was not too harmful, it was still within the acceptable range. In fact, there was nothing to worry about. He had done everything for Ed. If Ed was really turned into a lizard by the two scientists in front of him, or Connors is the lizard monster. As long as someone pays or he is in a bad mood, it is not impossible to wipe him out. Super-speed regeneration and How about you blow him to pieces yourself and give me a baby?

"If this is the case, I also make a promise to you, Mr. Connors, that I will find investment for you so that your research can successfully achieve what you want to achieve."

"Boss, we couldn't find out each other's identity at all. The money was taken away, and all the people guarding the money were killed."

In the vice president's office of Stark Industries, Obadiah Stan closed his eyes facing the beautiful scenery of more than fifty floors. After a long time, he slowly turned around, came to his desk, put on an earmuff and raised his head.

"Then why are you still alive?"

The doubtful eyes raised a seemingly distressed question. The man looked nervous and clenched his fists subconsciously. He was unable to speak because of fear. His eyes were fixed on Obadiah Stan's palm, which had a button on it. , pressed the red button with his thumb, the man's meridians began to bulge, and his skin gradually turned purple.

"This is how everyone is killed"

He put the case on the table, straightened his clothes, gave a very gentlemanly smile, and spoke without even looking at the subordinate who had started to bleed from seven holes and walked out of the office. A subordinate walked away from the door of the office. Come here, Obadiah Stan patted the other party's shoulder and said in his angry ear.

"If I can't get back five million, then you will all have to pay the price for this. Now get rid of the person inside who should have died long ago, and then you take his place."
