Chapter 369 Assistance from All Directions
"What the hell is going on?"
"Hobson's a big-time entrepreneur from Victoria. Why would he back you without question?"
Bertrand was completely floored!
He pointed at Elbert and shouted, "Did you pull some shady tricks?"
Elbert paused for a moment, then grinned, "Maybe it's the power of belief?"
Belief?
Bertrand's face twisted in confusion.
Elbert gazed out at the distant sea, his smile widening, "And this belief is pretty powerful!"
Suddenly, the sound of ship horns echoed from afar!
Beyond the horizon, five massive cargo ships appeared!
Some were loaded with construction machinery, others piled high with building materials, and some filled with containers!
Each of the five cargo ships had its own task and docked around the island!
Immediately, the large cranes on the ships started unloading the cargo!
From the ship cabins, nearly a thousand workers emerged!
The roar of engines filled the air.
Another dozen large civilian transport helicopters slowly appeared on the horizon!
Each helicopter carried mobile cabins below them!
In an instant, these cabins landed and were assembled by the workers into rows of temporary command posts!
In just a few minutes, the island was bustling with materials and workers, ready to start building the base!
The speed was astonishing!
Everyone on site was left speechless!
Bertrand ordered someone to bring a telescope and leaned against the window, trying to make sense of what was happening!
The next moment.
Bertrand's face changed dramatically!
"That's Sebastian, the maritime transport tycoon from Arcturus!"
"That's Joe Shirley, the air transport mogul from Victoria!"
"That's the construction group for Wavehaven Center, the tallest building in Veridiania!"
"That's the chief designer of the Veridiania Bay nuclear power plant!"
"This..."
"He managed to gather so many important figures!"
"What is he planning?"
Bertrand was stunned again!
And everyone else on site turned their heads, looking at Elbert with awe!
This young man had immense power behind him!
He could rally support from all directions!
Why had no one ever heard of such a person in Veridiania?
Who exactly was he?
Alaric was also overwhelmed with shock and put down his telescope!
A skyscraper rising from the ground!
With these personnel and equipment...
In just a few days, this base could be built!
Those alloy materials...
Those precision instruments...
None of them was ordinary!
If this base were built, it would be at least twice as advanced as my Dragon Might research center!
Alaric's eyes welled up with tears, this was the power of money!
Bertrand returned, slammed the telescope on the table, and gritted his teeth at Elbert, "So what if you have a base! The most important thing for a transformation institute is technology!"
"Do you have the technology?"
"Do you have transformed heroes?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
"You have nothing yourself!"
"You want to use Veridiania's transformation technology, and your transformed heroes will be people sent by Dragon Might!"
"Your institute is not an international company!"
"I refuse to support it!"
Alaric sighed helplessly upon hearing this!
What do you know?
Dragon Might's transformation technology belongs to Elbert!
ApexGuardians' technology also belongs to Elbert!
Do you really want me to admit such an embarrassing fact?
Alaric stood up, ready to argue.
But Elbert waved his hand slightly, "Mr. Kingsley, may I use your screen again?"
Everyone was stunned and turned their heads!
On the conference screen, another image appeared!
It was a live feed from a surveillance camera!
The image showed a railroad track!
Elbert smiled, "This is 7 miles outside Wavehaven City, on the Celestria-Wavehaven Line!"
Everyone was puzzled!
What did this mean?
Only BioGen Innovations' CEO Bertrand, upon seeing this image, had a drastic change in expression!
His brows furrowed, his breathing heavy, looking very guilty and unable to speak!
The next moment.
A tanker train sped towards the camera!
This train was for short-distance transport, not very long, with only four carriages and two drivers!
Seeing this, Bertrand broke out in a cold sweat!
He glanced at Elbert secretly, did this guy know about our plan?
Just as everyone was confused, a muffled sound came from the image!
The top of the tanker train suddenly burst into flames!
Thick black smoke billowed!
The drivers in the cab panicked!
They immediately pulled the brake lever, trying to stop the train!
But sparks flew from under the train!
Many metal parts shattered and fell onto the tracks!
The drivers were frantic!
Why were the brakes failing?
The train's speed didn't decrease but increased, reaching 180 miles per hour!
Everyone in the conference room was instantly on edge, what was happening?
Then.
The image shifted!
It showed a picturesque estate not far from the tracks!
BioGen Innovations' superhero Ironface was being interviewed here!
Ironface still wore a baseball cap, looking cool.
In front of him were reporters holding microphones!
"Ironface, do you have anything to say to your millions of fans?" a reporter asked excitedly.
Ironface lightly flicked the brim of his cap and smiled, "Just remember one thing, I, Ironface, am the embodiment of justice and will always protect you!"
In the distance, smoke billowed!
The estate was elevated, allowing Ironface and the reporters to easily see the distant tracks!
The tanker train was on fire!
Unseen by anyone, Ironface's mouth curled into a strange smile!
But the next moment, Ironface stood tall and said righteously, "Everyone step back, I'll handle this!"
Then, Ironface slightly bent his knees, his legs suddenly exerting force, and he leaped fifty feet in an instant!
The reporters behind him were thrilled, quickly chasing after him and starting a live broadcast!
"Viewers, there has been a train fire accident on the Celestria-Wavehaven Line!"
"But fortunately, our superhero Ironface is on the scene!"
"He has stepped up and is ready to rescue!"
"Look!"
As the reporter finished speaking, six or seven cameras turned to capture the brave Ironface rapidly approaching the train!
Viewers in front of their TVs were also exclaiming!
"Ironface is so cool!"
"Look at his speed, like a bullet!"
In the image, Ironface didn't forget to glance back and give a confident smile to the camera!
But the good times didn't last!
Another dark figure suddenly appeared in the distance!
If Ironface's speed was like a bullet!
Then this second figure's speed was like a black streak of light!
It was gone in a flash!
In the blink of an eye, it covered five hundred feet, running side by side with Ironface!
Ironface turned to look at the person beside him, stunned!
The figure's face was hidden between two collars.
A strange Veridiania accent was heard, "What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy?"
The dark figure suddenly accelerated, leaving Ironface far behind!
