Bearded Winter Soldier coldly replied without showing any sign of making requests or asking for instructions.
Ward Meachum frowned slightly. Before the words even left his mouth, the gun in Bearded Winter Soldier's hand was already faintly aimed at him.
Make another sound and I will kill you.
The voice was very calm.
Yet Ward Meachum felt a chill. He could sense that the other man was not bluffing—he would genuinely kill him!
Bang—bang-bang—bang—
A rhythmic knock suddenly sounded. This was the agreed signal among the Winter Soldiers.
Bearded Winter Soldier opened the door, and Female Winter Soldier came in from outside, walking toward Ward Meachum.
BOSS wants to see him.
Bearded Winter Soldier asked no further questions; they never doubted each other's loyalty.
Female Winter Soldier took out a tactical dagger, severed the ropes on Ward Meachum's feet, and dragged him out.
Captain's room.
Female Winter Soldier held Ward Meachum by the neck with one hand while gently knocking on the door with the other.
BOSS, the person is brought.
Come in.
It was a young man's voice.
Nervously, Ward Meachum secretly took a deep breath, adjusting his emotions and composure. As the eldest young master of Rand Corporation, his maiden battle must not—
Go in!
Female Winter Soldier pushed the door open and casually tossed Ward Meachum inside.

Without the slightest bit of defense, nor a shred of hesitation.
The disheveled and humiliated eldest young master of Rand Corporation braced his hands against the floor, kneeling on both knees.
Instantly, he glared angrily at Female Winter Soldier, who had not followed inside.
Are you polite?
Bang!
Female Winter Soldier looked expressionlessly at Ward Meachum and closed the door.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ward Meachum twitched his mouth, staring down at the floor with no intention whatsoever of looking up.
Why are you keeping your head down?
Su Quan looked with great interest at the young man kneeling there motionlessly with his head lowered.
Ward Meachum, the son of Harold Meachum, the eldest young master of Rand Corporation!
Of course, a fake prefix had to be added in front; after all, Iron Fist Danny Rand was the true eldest young master of Rand Corporation.
He originally intended to use Super Hearing to pay attention to the effect of Silver Sable and Wild Pack spreading and delivering the news, listening to what those who received the news would say.
As it turned out, he happened to hear this little guy reveal his identity to Bearded Winter Soldier and even want to talk with whoever was in charge.
Then let's talk!
Ward Meachum still did not raise his head, as if a beauty were dancing on the floor before his eyes.
"My name is Ward Meachum, and my father is Harold Meachum, the chairman of Rand Corporation. As long as you can guarantee the safety of everyone on the ship and let us leave safely afterward, I can represent my father in meeting any of your demands."
His voice trembled slightly, and his nervousness could be felt, but what he said was very logical.
"What makes me believe you can make decisions for your father? The chairman of Rand Corporation is your father, not you!"
"Soon it will be."
Taking a deep breath, Ward Meachum said calmly, "My father has cancer, and his condition is very grim. I'm afraid—he doesn't have much time left."
"I am his only son, and the company will definitely be handed over to me, so no matter what price it takes, he will save me."
"I am also willing to pay any price to save my life."
In the Iron Fist individual series, this brat was a ruthless and unfeeling capitalist.
Before even taking over Rand Corporation, he already faintly showed signs of becoming a ruthless lunatic.
No wonder he later not only used all kinds of methods to deal with Danny Rand, who returned from Kunlun.
He even directly murdered his father out of dissatisfaction with him manipulating himself and the company from behind the scenes.
"What do you think of this ship?" Su Quan asked with a smile.
Ward Meachum reacted quickly: "It's yours."
"Not enough."
"I can buy you another one—no, five!" Ward Meachum said hurriedly.
"Ten."
"Deal."
Without a moment's hesitation, Ward Meachum said, "I need to contact my father. Rest assured, I won't play any tricks. You can designate the receiving location; once the ship arrives, you release me."
"What if you guys come looking for trouble with me afterward?" Su Quan asked again.
Ward Meachum shook his head hurriedly: "I haven't seen your face, nor do I know who you are. As long as you can leave at that time, you'll definitely find a way to wipe out the traces afterward."
No wonder this brat kept his head down the moment he came in; he was quite cunning.
Feigning difficulty, Su Quan said, "My people—you saw what they looked like."
Ward Meachum seemed to have figured out the answer long ago and said directly, "If they are trustworthy, they won't betray you. If they aren't trustworthy—"
"What then?"
"You have money. With money, you can have everything, including subordinates who are stronger and more obedient."
Good grief, he was egging him on to kill people to silence them.
Hesitating for a moment and pretending to consider, Su Quan slowly spoke after a while: "There are too many people on the ship. Once there are too many people, there will be trouble."
"Y-you mean?" Ward Meachum's body stiffened as he vaguely guessed it.
"Except for you, everyone else must die!"
"N-no need for that, right? They are just ordinary employees of Rand Corporation and can't affect you at all. Besides, if people die, things will become more troublesome, won't they?"
Trembling, Ward Meachum tried to persuade the other party to change their mind.
"They die, you live! You live, they die!"
"Choose for yourself."
How was this supposed to be chosen? Whichever way he chose, it was the same!
Gritting his teeth, Ward Meachum tried his best to appear somewhat calm.
"Fine, but I have one condition. My girlfriend is also on the ship; she cannot die!"
"I can guarantee that she knows nothing and won't talk nonsense about anything."
Girlfriend?
Would a selfish and ruthless person like Ward Meachum care about a mere girlfriend?
Besides, what kind of place was this?
Madripoor!
The Hand used Rand Corporation's ships to do business, and Ward Meachum's appearance on the ship was already surprising enough—how could he possibly have brought his girlfriend along?
Therefore—
This 'girlfriend' should be related to Rand Corporation or The Hand, and she was very important to him.
People from The Hand could be ruled out; even if Harold Meachum had told him some of the truth, he wouldn't care about the lives of people from The Hand.
On the contrary, rather than saving them, he should wish they were dead.
So, among those in Rand Corporation who were important to such a selfish and ruthless person, there was only one.

Aside from Harold Meachum—a father cut from the exact same ruthless cloth—Ward Meachum had another relative, a relative even more important than his father!
