She didn't expect that Hawke would bring six Extremis Virus Adaptors with him this time, and they crushed Roxson's team in one fell swoop with the Assault.
The Roxon base is now well-preserved, with all sorts of random things, worth at least $30 billion. It's worth taking advantage of that.
"Forget about the scientific instruments and stuff. There's too much stuff and too much variety; we simply can't take it all with us." Hawke took a drag of his cigarette and said, "Besides, the people at this base have definitely asked Roxon for help. It won't be long before Roxon's people come to support us. How could we possibly leave with all this heavy equipment? When we leave, we'll just blow up the whole base."
Fortunately, the base bombs left behind by Roxson can still be put to use.
"There is a lot of biotechnology here, which is quite good. We can copy the data and take these scientists with us. These things can serve as the foundation of my Ryan Biotechnology."
"It just so happens that the Extremis virus was developed at this time. I won't say much, but just based on the effects of the Extremis virus, it can leverage a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars, which isn't too much, is it? So, add the Roxon Biotechnology we've gathered here, as well as the existing technology of Lane Bio, and a biotech giant with a market value of tens of billions will be formed, won't it?"
253 Follow me, let's conquer the stars and the sea! [Please subscribe and give flowers!]
Cipher's mind raced. According to Hawke, the enhanced Extremis virus, costing $1 million per spot, was indeed frighteningly expensive.
But this absolutely cannot stop many people from wanting to become extraordinary. There are a total of 25490 people in the world with a wealth of more than $1 million, and there are probably at least 2000 people who can afford to spend $1 million.
However, given the failure rate of the enhancement, I estimate that only 100-200 people would actually be willing to give it a try.
However, the private market is a small part; the main market is still the orders from the militaries of various countries. Unfortunately, the United States will probably also control it and will not allow such a thing to flow out on a large scale. So, in general, the market for Extremis virus is indeed about $200 billion.
Add to that the Roxon Biotechnology that Hawke acquired from here, and the fact that Lane Bio already had the foundation of TCRI and AIM, creating a biotech company worth around $600-700 billion shouldn't be a problem.
“I’m considering spinning off Ryan Biotech into an independent entity, specifically to develop a range of extraordinary powers,” Hawke said with a smile. “Seifer, would you be interested in becoming the CEO of Ryan Biotech?”
"You're telling me all this just to poach me to manage your company?"
Cipher paused for a moment, then pointed to himself and said.
"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?" Hawke shrugged and said, "With just the Extremis virus technology alone, it can instantly become a supernova company that everyone in the world is eager to get involved in. It would be absolutely no shame for you to be its CEO. Besides, the failure rate of the Extremis virus isn't insurmountable. We'll definitely continue to deepen our research, and it's not impossible to eventually create a 100% successful Extremis virus. When that happens, if you, as CEO, want to enhance it, it'll be a piece of cake. Moreover, I also have projects on alien technology and supernatural biological remains that haven't even started yet!"
“Well…” Seifer frowned and thought for a moment, “Let me think about it.”
“Okay, if you have an idea, you can tell me anytime.” Hawke blinked and said, “The Earth is too small to contain the ambition of a North African diamond like you. Joining me to conquer the stars and the sea might not be a bad choice.”
Next.
Under Hawke's command, all kinds of technology at the Roxon base were quickly copied onto hard drives, and the blueprints were also packed up and taken away. Scientists were tied up and escorted away, leaving only the bulky instruments.
About half an hour after storming the Roxon base, Hawke and Cipher led their men to evacuate the building.
During the march, Hawke turned his back to the base building and pressed a button on a remote control in his hand.
"boom--!!!"
A bomb exploded underground in the very center of the base. The extremely powerful shockwave and high-temperature, high-pressure gas instantly destroyed the building's exterior walls. The high-temperature, high-pressure gas produced by the explosion formed a huge fireball, several meters above the blast center.
Debris and dust scattered like smoke, enveloping the surrounding buildings and facilities in a gray world; the entire building was destroyed.
A moment later, the smoke dissipated.
The building's exterior was completely destroyed, with debris and stones scattered all over the ground.
The internal structure and building materials were also completely destroyed, and the entire building was reduced to ruins.
In the epicenter of the explosion, the interior of the building was completely destroyed; not a single part remained intact.
……
They returned to North Africa.
Inside the Extremis virus lab.
Hawke and Cipher removed their tactical gear and reverted to their civilized appearance.
"You've really offended Roxon this time. That base was incredibly valuable; it was Roxon's main base in Africa, and you just blew it up."
Seifer paused, then continued:
"If I were Roxson's CEO, I'd definitely find a chance to slice you into pieces. You better watch out, or you might get ambushed and killed sometime during the day. Although you're ridiculously strong right now, you can't say you're invincible."
"You think I'd be afraid of offending Roxson? Ha!"
Hawke laughed:
"When they were stealing my people, did they not think about offending Ryan? At worst, we'll just have to fight Roxson head-on! I'll take a group of Extremis Virus adaptors back to America. I also have a group of witches there. When the opportunity arises, we'll take down Roxson's CEO, Dario Agger, and see if we can acquire Roxson."
As the saying goes, once or twice is acceptable, but a third time is not. This is the third time that Roxson has provoked him. Hawke had already planned that if Roxson's CEO, Dario Agger, dares to show his face, Hawke will kill him without hesitation and then go all out to acquire Roxson.
Currently, Rockxon's market capitalization is $1500 billion. However, after the recent explosion at its headquarters in Africa, its market capitalization is expected to drop significantly if the news leaks. Given the strength of the Lane Group, it is not impossible for Hawke to accomplish a "David and Goliath" feat by using a leveraged buyout to acquire Rockxon.
"Acquire Roxson?"
Cipher looked at Hawke speechlessly:
"Are you kidding me? Roxon is such a behemoth. Putting aside how much money it would cost to acquire, there must be a network of interests behind it. Do you think you can just acquire it like that?"
“I have Extremis Virus adaptees and a bunch of witches at my disposal. If anyone dares to disagree, I’ll go and beat them up. I’m not afraid of anything!” Hawke chuckled. He realized that he had been too soft-hearted before, which made those people think he was easy to bully, leading to Roxon’s overbearing behavior.
Hawke didn't even have much fear of the Ancient One and Captain Marvel.
Even if Roxon has many powerful and influential people behind him, so what?
How many divisions do you have?
Forget about a few divisions, even if you have several aircraft carrier battle groups, I can sink them all.
"Say something about it, Cipher, you've reminded me. Now that we've already fallen out with Roxson, there's no need to give them any more face."
Hawke took out his phone and performed a few operations.
Cipher asked, "What are you doing?"

"Isn't Roxson having a blast with his biochemical experiments?" Hawke typed as he spoke. "I'll help Roxson gain some fame by filming all their biochemical experiments and uploading the footage to the internet. The biochemical monster we fought before, the T-30, was a biochemical monster created based on humans. That's nothing compared to what Roxson has done. Hehe, it'll be quite a show if the world finds out what Roxson is doing."
"Are you really determined to make Roxson your mortal enemy?" Seifer exclaimed. "You'd better think this through. Your Ryan might not be any cleaner than Roxson. If you do this, Roxson might come after Ryan too."
"It's alright, Roxon won't have many more chances to cause trouble."
Hawke waved his hand dismissively.
Apart from Roxon's CEO Dario Agger, if they dare to cause any more trouble, then it's not impossible for their company's executives to be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide.
Hawke could make it impossible for Roxon to continue operating at any time if he wanted to.
Furthermore, Lane Capital has been shorting Roxson recently. According to Jordan, Roxson recently sold off its assets to resolve its crisis and left with a considerable amount of cash. Therefore, Lane Capital's shorting of Roxson has encountered significant resistance, and after a lot of effort, they haven't made much money. So, Hawke will definitely want to stab Roxson in the back again at this time, creating a wave of negative news so that Lane Capital can make money.
"Alright, is there anything else?" Hawke said. "If you're done, you can leave."
"Heh, man."
Seifer gave Hawke a disdainful look.
She stood up, ready to leave.
"Are you coming to my house for dinner again tonight?"
“Of course!” Hawke slapped Cipher’s round buttocks and chuckled, “Remember to wash yourself clean too, I’m going to eat you up with me.”
Cipher rolled his eyes at Hawke, then turned and left.
……
night.
The starry sky is dazzling, making one unable to resist being captivated by the beautiful night.
Hawke arrived at the Seifer's house.
"You're here?" Cipher was still busy in the kitchen when Hawke arrived, and she brought the dishes over and placed them on the table. "Dinner is ready, you can eat now."
"These dishes are just side dishes; if possible, I'd like the main course to be you!"
Hawke smiled and stroked Cipher's pretty face.
"You..."
Cipher gave Hawke a flirtatious wink, but said nothing and obediently lay down on the dining table.
The next day, early in the morning.
Cipher woke up and saw the large hand resting on her breasts. She irritably removed it, sat up, and the thin blanket slipped down, revealing her graceful curves.
"This guy is getting stronger and stronger, I can't handle him..."
Looking at Hawke sleeping soundly, and comparing him to how he looked back then, she felt a mixture of love and resentment.
shook his head.
Cipher put on a black bathrobe and walked barefoot into the bathroom.
Water sprayed from the showerhead and landed on her.
Cipher gently closed her eyes, feeling the water rushing against her body.
"Should we work for Ryan?"
This is indeed a difficult choice for her, as it will determine the different paths she will take in the future.
"King, witch, bio-monster, extremist virus..."
Cipher sighed and muttered to himself:
"The world has changed. It's no longer something that ordinary people can control. No matter how many conspiracies and schemes there are, they're meaningless without enough power to back them up."
"perhaps……"
Just then, Hawke opened the bathroom door and walked in, smiling shyly, "Oh, what a coincidence, you're taking a shower too?"
Cipher: "..."
In the steamy bathroom, a woman's scream gradually silenced the sound of running water.
More than an hour passed.
Hawke carried Cipher, who had collapsed in his arms, out of the bathroom and placed her on the large bed.
a long time.
Emerging from his mental fog, Cipher looked at the ceiling and asked:
"You came to North Africa to resolve the issues with Killian and Roxon. Now that the issues are resolved, when are you returning to New York?"
