Chapter 302 The Age of Transhumanism
Elbert shrugged and smiled, looking around. "I like peace and quiet. To avoid being disturbed, I bought all the wasteland around here. Roughly estimated, it cost about 5 trillion. Bring the money, and it's a deal."
The leader in the black suit suddenly froze his smile. "5 trillion? You must be joking, you scoundrel! Are you deliberately mocking me!"
In an instant, his gaze turned cold. "We've long known that Veridianians are greedy! But you're also cowards!"
Then he added, "Young man, you're lucky. Today, you get to meet one of BioGen Innovations' superheroes!"
Elbert smiled slightly. It seemed BioGen Innovations was indeed not on the right side.
Elbert then looked at the distant, dark-tinted Mercedes that had remained motionless.
Pointing with his finger, he asked, "Are you talking about him?"
The leader in the black suit sneered, "That's right. Soon you'll know that Stellar Genetics Corporation is something you ordinary humans can only look up to! Today, I specifically invited the hero Iron Fist! Since you're so stubborn, why not let Iron Fist have a word with you!"
The leader in the suit smirked at Elbert.
He was in charge of the company's external expansion, and had encountered many difficult Veridianians in the past few days.
However, as long as Iron Fist was asked here, there was no need for violence. As long as Iron Fist would just show a bit of his strength, smashing concrete pillars or toppling giant trees, those Veridianians would instantly submit. It was their inherent cowardice, some even became Iron Fist's fans.
Elbert shrugged, "Since the hero Iron Fist is here in person, I should go and greet him."
Saying this, Elbert slowly walked to the car. He opened the back door and bent down to look inside.
There sat a Victoria man, as strong as a bear, with fists at least three times the size of an average person's. He was just an A-level modified human, probably a small fry in BioGen Innovations.
Seeing Elbert, he slightly tilted his head, a look of disdain flashing across his face. Then, Iron Fist prepared to get out of the car and show his might.
"Hold on," Elbert gently placed a hand on Iron Fist's shoulder, "Just stay in the car patiently."
Iron Fist felt an overwhelming force on his shoulder that he couldn't resist.
At the next moment, all four tires of the Mercedes exploded instantly and the entire car sank down!
The black-suited men present were all startled.
Elbert slammed the car door shut.
Iron Fist, sitting inside, broke out in a sweat, not daring to move an inch!
Elbert dusted off his hands and smiled at the man in the black suit, "Iron Fist said he's not coming out."
The man in the black suit's eyes widened, stammering, "You're a modified human from Veridiania!"
Elbert didn't explain, calmly saying, "Don't think that mastering a few A-level modified humans means you can do whatever you want in Veridiania. You'd better not anger me, or I'll make sure BioGen Innovations has no place to stand!"
"You're too arrogant," The man in the black suit retreated repeatedly, "I didn't expect the most backward Veridiania to have developed modified humans! But don't be arrogant! Do you think BioGen Innovations' strength is just this? You'll soon realize we're an existence you can't resist! Just wait, I'll flatten this shabby place sooner or later!"
With this, the man in the black suit hurriedly got into the car.
A row of cars started and sped away. Only the Mercedes with all four tires blown struggled to move.
Iron Fist, sitting inside, looked pale and very embarrassed.
Quentin laughed, walking up with a baseball bat, "Here you go!"
With one swing, the car's trunk caved in.
The Mercedes, using this momentum, finally started and sped away.
Watching the departing convoy, Elbert sighed lightly.
BioGen Innovations would undoubtedly pose a formidable challenge in the future.
Then, Elbert glanced at Quentin.
Quentin had been living in that shabby tent for over ten days, looking no different from a beggar!
"Summer, Quentin, come inside with me, take a good shower, eat something, and rest," Elbert said.
Quentin turned his head, "No, you can kill me, but you can't insult me!"
Then he added, "Alcohol provided."
"Alright then," Quentin answered quickly.
The three returned to the Lab Graveyard.
Quentin marveled for a full five minutes before finally going to wash up.
After ordering a dozen takeouts, Elbert immediately turned on the holographic screen. He tuned into a TV program, BioGen Innovations' press conference.
It was just noon, and the conference was about to start.
They had chosen Wavehaven Stadium as the venue!
A grand stage was set up in the vast open space. Below were countless media from home and abroad.
BioGen Innovations had made a huge investment, buying a large number of media ads domestically and internationally three days ago.
They only had one slogan. [BioGen Innovations, discovering the secrets of human enhancement, unveiling a new journey!]
This mysterious approach was very effective! It successfully drew the world's attention to this press conference.
When the time came, there were no special effects unexpectedly.
Only a Victoria man in a sharp suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looking quite handsome, walked onto the stage!
His movements were very graceful, giving off an air of knowledge.
He slowly began, "Friends from home and abroad, hello, I am Bertrand Gary, the CEO of BioGen Innovations. Since the dawn of time, humans have been seeking ways to enhance themselves. As we all know, over a hundred years ago, humans discovered substances like caffeine and taurine that can suppress fatigue. In the 1970s, people could use hormone injections to enhance human endurance. In the past 20 years, scholars have gradually unlocked the mysteries of the brain! In fact, human evolution is not far from us! After three generations and decades of research, BioGen Innovations has finally achieved a breakthrough in human history. Now we can enhance the genes and physique of ordinary people, increasing their strength exponentially, even giving them special abilities. And the success rate has reached 60%! Today, Bertrand Gary is here to solemnly announce that BioGen Innovations is officially leading the world into the era of transhumanism!"
