Chapter 102 It looks like I'll have to switch roles and become a villain first.
The Red Queen, who possesses a human body, was appointed by Shen Yi as the president of the Umbrella Corporation and officially began to take charge of the company's business.
Even with money, materials, and Eve, a humanoid cheat code who can conjure any rare element by hand, you still have to keep making money.
Fortunately, although superheroes are everywhere and cutting-edge technology is rampant in this world of America, the daily lives of ordinary people are not much different from those in the normal world. After a moment's thought, Shen Yi took out the teleportation technology from the Origami Warriors world.
Of course, he didn't have a moon to act as a transit point for supplies, but without an elf realm, a physical warehouse could be used instead. The Umbrella Corporation only needed to anchor the teleportation coordinates in a rented car building, and users could activate the teleportation with origami props to carry large items with them.
In a way, it's a bit like a parcel locker, or an alternative version of a space capsule.
However, he has only opened up the teleportation service for large objects such as cars for the time being, and does not intend to get involved in human teleportation. One reason is that he is afraid that the Smiths, the agents of the Global Defense Agency, will think that this is targeting them. After all, they have taken a lot of the millions of dollars burned by each teleportation.
On the other hand, human teleportation is far too easy for people to exploit in various ways: the teleportation device could be stored in a bank for robbery, or the device could be thrown into the sea and the person could be teleported to the bottom of the ocean, causing a lot of trouble and easily triggering various legal disputes.
Less than a week after the origami was launched, the first batch of stock was snapped up. The first to buy were freight companies that regularly transport long distances, followed by urban families who had cars but nowhere to park. In the end, even the US military's suppliers sent people to inquire about prices.
Shen Yi would naturally not allow the Umbrella Corporation to be deeply intertwined with the military. If the US military could summon tanks and armored vehicles at will, it would be a devastating blow to countries that are already suffering from oppression.
However, the Red Queen did not completely block the road. Instead, it cooperated with the military to rent a large amount of space to store customers' vehicles, which allowed the other party to make a lot of money in exchange for the other party not coming to cause trouble.
In this way, Umbrella Corporation's market value exceeded 10 billion US dollars in a very short period of time, and Shen Yi went from a poor student who even spent his college tuition on the Red Queen server to a rising star on Wall Street.
However, all this glory was handled by the Red Queen in her capacity as CEO. Shen Yi himself simply changed into more comfortable designer clothes and continued to attend classes with Eve as usual.
To be honest, he had considered guiding Mark during this time, encouraging him to gravitate towards the true invincible young hero of the main universe.
But he quickly dismissed the idea, since many people in the Mark Chicken Contest were wearing the Invincible Young Hero uniform.
This means that they were all superheroes at first, but were later persuaded by Omniknight to become members of the Void race who ruled the Earth. These Marks could even kill his dream girl Eve, his good brother William, and his good father Omniknight, so killing a classmate would be completely psychologically acceptable for them.
Although Mark in front of him seemed to be all talk and no action, he didn't intend to gamble with his life—what if Mark turned around and attacked him after he trained him into an invincible young hero?
After the Red Queen's entire body was covered with artificial biosynthetic nerves, her computing power experienced a qualitative leap. While making money for Shen Yi, she also secretly hacked into the official network of the United States, retrieved all the investigation files of the Global Defense Bureau's bombing case, and collected a large amount of peripheral information from the dark web. Finally, she analyzed the most logical storyline and sent it to Shen Yi.
Before Cecil, the director of the Bureau of Global Defense was Radcliffe, whose philosophy regarding superheroes differed from that of the D0.
Amanda Waller in the universe is exactly the same.
Simply put, he believes that superheroes are uncontrollable variables and must be firmly controlled by the authorities by all possible means.
But this clearly crosses the line for all superheroes. They are willing to protect the Earth and sacrifice themselves for ordinary people, but that doesn't mean they are willing to be used as pawns.
To put it bluntly, the very existence of superheroes indicates a problem with the authorities. If it weren't for you bunch of incompetents who have made such a mess of society, where would all these supervillains come from?
Now you want to recruit me too? What if one day you make me do dirty work?
So after much maneuvering, Radcliffe was forced to step down, and Cecil, who was relatively mild-mannered and good at coordinating relations between the parties, took over as director.
But Radcliffe did not disappear. He led a group of politicians and high-ranking military officials who shared his ideals to establish a secret organization buried deep underground. This organization had only one goal: to cultivate fully controlled super soldiers to replace those "uncontrollable" superheroes.
Rex Sproud was their first work.
Just like in the anime, Rex grew up in poverty and even had to steal to support his lazy parents. But as it turns out, his parents could be even more shameless. When they heard that they could get a large sum of money by signing a document to let their son be taken away, they sold Rex to Radcliffe without hesitation.
And so, Rex was sent to an unnamed underground research facility. They first enhanced his physical abilities, then implanted a special device in his hand that could transform any object he touched into a high-explosive bomb. Finally, Radcliffe trained Rex under the guise of a "superhero," deceiving him into carrying out various assassination missions.
What happened next was obvious: Radcliffe gave him the order to kill Cecil, telling him that Cecil had turned against justice.
Rex had hesitated and even asked others in the Global Defense Agency for advice, but he was eventually persuaded by Radcliffe.
Or to be more precise, he needs to believe all of this, because if he doesn't, everything he's done over the years will become a complete joke.
Unfortunately, he still became a joke, used as a disposable pawn by Radcliffe.
That guy deserves to die!
However, one could also be a tool used and then killed.
Shen Yi stroked his chin. This wasn't just about avenging Rex; more importantly, the longer Radcliffe lived, the more uncertain the world became. This old guy was more radical and insane than Cecil, capable of even destroying the Global Defense Agency. Who knew what he would do next?
If one day he gets carried away and turns his attention to the All-Round Hero, it could trigger a full-scale war between the aliens and humans. Shen Yi doesn't think he can defeat the Regent right now, and he also has to avoid letting any aliens escape. What if these aliens go to other planets and start building up their armies?
Looks like I'll have to switch roles and become a villain for now.
While listening to the lecture, Shen Yi began to plan the assassination. He had the Red Queen collect a batch of hair, and then went home to refine the hair into a compound potion, intending to use it as a disguise in case the Zetz armor was broken in battle and its true form was revealed.
Of course, to avoid being "righteously rescued" after committing murder and arson, all the information the Red Queen has collected must be on standby at all times, ensuring that she can switch from a villain to a righteous police officer at any moment.
