Wang Bert asked James, "Have you prepared the Biochemical Suits and Tranquilizer Guns I told you to get?"
"They're ready! They're specially made and very effective."
James hurriedly nodded, then used the intercom to have three Half-blood underlings bring in the cases containing the Biochemical Suits. When the three underlings saw Wang Bert, their faces were filled with excitement and apprehension. This was the Blood God, an existence they could only look up to! Wang Bert ordered, "Put them on. Once we enter the restaurant, don't talk nonsense. Do whatever I tell you to do."
"You're going in personally too, Blood God?"
James said, "That guy is strange. Let us handle him!"
"Don't worry, he can't hurt me. Stop talking and get dressed!"
Wang Bert said. Although he was confident Kilgrave's virus would not affect him, a man of great wealth should not put himself in danger. With a fortune of over a hundred billion dollars—and still counting—how could he take risks so casually? If he died, what a loss that would be! So, he put on a Biochemical Suit as well!
Once they were ready, Wang Bert immediately led James and the other three downstairs and rushed into the restaurant across the street!
"You know what? My favorite food is Pasta!"
Kilgrave had no idea someone was targeting him. He was excitedly having dinner with Jessica and even took the initiative to introduce his hobbies!
Kilgrave had not felt this excitement in a long time. Women were simply too easy for him to get. If he spotted a beautiful woman he liked on the street, all he had to do was say a word, and she would obediently follow him to a hotel. There was no challenge at all!
Jessica was different. Like him, she had superpowers. It was Kilgrave's first time meeting someone like himself, and he was extremely excited.
Unlike Kilgrave's excitement, Jessica Jones was filled with despair. How could such a terrifying ability exist in this world? Whatever he said, she had to do. She could not resist at all!
Sure enough, I can't be a Super Hero. The moment I try, something goes wrong!
Jessica was full of resentment. On the way here, she had seen someone committing robbery and thrown the robber more than ten meters away. Who would have thought Kilgrave happened to see it while passing by? Then, she fell into hell! Will someone please save me?
Jessica prayed in her heart. She wanted to cry, but without Kilgrave's permission, she could not even shed a tear!
Just then, Jessica saw several people in yellow Biochemical Suits enter the restaurant. To her astonishment, they directly raised the Tranquilizer Guns in their hands and aimed them at Kilgrave's back! Kilgrave sensed the movement, but before he could turn around, three Tranquilizer Guns hit him in the back. The bullets were specially made. Kilgrave's head drooped, and he passed out face-first in his Pasta!
"Good!"
Wang Bert nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to have James seize Kilgrave, everyone else in the restaurant suddenly grabbed weapons and charged at them! They wanted to save Kilgrave. This had been an order Kilgrave gave them earlier. Kilgrave was quite afraid of death and always made arrangements for all sorts of situations.
"Shoot them down!"
Wang Bert gave the order with a cold smile. James and the others immediately fired at the people rushing toward them. These people were merely ordinary humans with no fighting ability. They were quickly shot down one after another and fell unconscious to the floor!
The only one with any combat ability was Jessica Jones. She lifted an iron table beside her and smashed it down at Wang Bert's head with all her strength!
Anyone else would have been smashed senseless by that table, but Wang Bert merely smiled lightly. He appeared behind Jessica as if he had used Teleportation, then chopped the back of her neck with his hand. Jessica's vision went dark, and she collapsed limply!
"James, carry Kilgrave. Follow me!"
As Wang Bert carried Jessica, he instructed, "The rest of you, seal this place off. Tie up everyone on the ground. If they wake up, shoot them again. Let them go after twelve hours!
"I'll send a few police officers over to help you, but don't say anything about what happened here. Also, once these people recover, warn them to keep their mouths shut. Understood?"
"Understood!"
The three underlings nodded repeatedly, their faces brimming with excitement. The Blood God had personally given them an order. If they completed it well, they would probably never have to worry for the rest of their lives! "Good!"
Wang Bert did not waste time. He immediately left with James, who was carrying Kilgrave. A car was already waiting outside. Wang Bert put the two of them in the back seat and drove home at top speed! After returning home, Wang Bert handed Jessica over to a maid and said to the Butler, "Lock her up for twelve hours. After twelve hours, let her leave if she wants to. If she doesn't, treat her as a guest!"
"Yes, Blood God!"
The elderly Butler did not ask any questions. Compared to the previous master, this sort of confinement game was utterly tame! Vampires had far more tricks than that—then they got beaten to death! After dealing with Jessica, Wang Bert and James supported Kilgrave into the secret room behind the study. There was a small elevator there. The three took it down to the second basement level. When the door opened, they found a small virus laboratory that had long been prepared!
There were two virus experts in the laboratory. James had hired them at a high price. When they saw the three come down, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Wang Bert nodded at them without saying much. These two had poor character and deserved to die. Wang Bert had never intended to let them leave this place.
Wang Bert said, "James, go back and handle the things I just instructed. Then go find Mercury. She'll hand the intelligence center over to you!"
"Yes, Blood God!"
Although James was very curious about what Wang Bert planned to do next, he did not want to die. After setting Kilgrave down, he immediately turned and left. His heart was full of excitement. He had finally climbed to a high position. From now on, there would be plenty of good days ahead!
He had never imagined that a mere Half-blood like him could make something of himself. And all of it was because he had followed a good master! After James left, Wang Bert told the two virus experts about Kilgrave's ability, half truthfully and half falsely. "Simply put, whenever he opens his mouth to speak, he can release a virus. This virus makes people weak all over."
The two virus experts both shook their heads repeatedly after hearing this. "BOSS, it's not that we don't believe you, but humans cannot possibly have such an ability."
Wang Bert said firmly, "This ability does exist. Stop talking nonsense and start examining him immediately. Analyze which organ is producing the virus!"
Although the two virus experts did not take him seriously, the person with money was the boss. They could only comply.
The equipment here was comprehensive. The two scanned him, extracted bodily fluids, and conducted some experiments with Petri Dishes. After several hours, they finally figured out what was going on!
The Bald Virus Expert, who had been waiting to prove Wang Bert wrong, excitedly said, "BOSS, his body really can produce a virus. This is unbelievable! If we can research it thoroughly, I think I could win a Nobel!"
Wang Bert, who had waited around for several hours, impatiently asked, "Which organ produces the virus?"
The Short-haired Virus Expert held up a scan of Kilgrave's brain and said, "BOSS, there's a Mutated Tissue inside his brain. The virus comes from there."
Wang Bert asked excitedly, "Can this Mutated Tissue be extracted intact? Also, after it's extracted, can it continue producing the virus?"
"It can be extracted, but if we forcibly extract it, this person will die!"
The Short-haired Virus Expert said, "As long as it remains alive after extraction, the Mutated Tissue can continue producing the virus. But it will die very quickly. This virus has weak vitality and cannot even reproduce inside other people's bodies."
"BOSS, I don't recommend extracting it. That would be too wasteful, like killing a hen that lays eggs!"
The Bald Virus Expert said loudly, "We should keep it in that person's brain, then extract some of it each time for experiments. Only that way can we fully replicate this virus and figure out how it is produced."
"BOSS, I think so too!"
The Short-haired Virus Expert nodded repeatedly. "Give me some time, and I can—"
Wang Bert rudely waved his hand, interrupting both experts. He said, "Extract the Mutated Tissue in its entirety right now! Intact and alive!"
"BOSS!"
The two experts still wanted to object, but Wang Bert shouted, "Do as I say!"
"What a waste."
The Bald Virus Expert muttered unhappily, but it was still the same rule: the person with money was the boss. They could only do as Wang Bert instructed.
Although these two virus experts had terrible character, they were quite skilled professionally. They first gave Kilgrave general anesthesia, then opened his head and extracted the Mutated Tissue inside!
Wang Bert silently watched everything. He did not feel the slightest guilt about killing Kilgrave, because this man deserved to die in the first place. In fact, dying without realizing it was already letting him off far too easily! If circumstances had not been special, someone like him deserved death by a thousand cuts. His evil deeds could be summed up in four words: too numerous to record! Since they did not need to care whether Kilgrave lived or died, the operation proceeded quickly. Before long, the Bald Virus Expert extracted a small clump of Mutated Tissue and placed it in a Petri Dish.
"Wasteful, too wasteful! This could have won a Nobel!"
The Bald Virus Expert sighed repeatedly and shot Wang Bert a dissatisfied glance. What an ignoramus. He understood nothing and had wasted such a valuable thing for nothing.
Wang Bert did not care what the virus expert thought. He stared at the Mutated Tissue and said excitedly, "Step back."
The two did not understand why, but they obediently retreated. Then they witnessed an incomparably horrifying scene—Wang Bert's right hand suddenly turned into a mass of writhing blood. The two stumbled backward in fright. What the hell was that?
Wang Bert ignored them. He first controlled the blood to drain all of Kilgrave's blood, then had the blood envelop the Mutated Tissue in the Petri Dish and provide it with nutrients! Normally, transplanting this clump of Mutated Tissue would be extremely troublesome. Without years of experiments, it would be impossible. But Wang Bert was no ordinary person. He was the Blood God, and he could complete the process through an extraordinary method! That extraordinary method was to consume Kilgrave's blood, then use Blood God Power containing Kilgrave's life essence to fuse with the Mutated Tissue. As long as there was no rejection, the transplantation could be easily completed!
Time passed bit by bit. Not only did the Mutated Tissue enveloped in blood not weaken, it gradually grew stronger. Wang Bert burst into laughter. His idea had been correct. This ability belonged to him now!
Wang Bert withdrew the blood and reformed his right hand, then transferred the Mutated Tissue to his head. The entire process went very smoothly. After all, as far as the Mutated Tissue was concerned, he was Kilgrave.
After finishing all this, Wang Bert looked up at the two virus experts. They were terrified and desperately pressed the elevator button beside them, but unfortunately, it did not respond at all—only Wang Bert could open the elevator door.
Wang Bert said, "Slap yourselves until I tell you to stop!"
The moment the two virus experts heard Wang Bert's command, their right hands immediately rose beyond their control and struck their own faces hard. No matter how much they resisted inside, they could not stop the motion!
"Good, the virus is mine now!"
Wang Bert laughed loudly. Thinking of something, he flicked his finger, and two drops of blood flew out and entered the virus experts' bodies, providing the viruses inside them with nutrients!
The reason Kilgrave's control ability only lasted a dozen or so hours was because the virus could only survive that long. But Wang Bert was different. He could use blood to keep the virus alive, meaning his control duration would far exceed Kilgrave's! Not only that, Kilgrave could not control his own ability. As long as he spoke, he would control others. But Wang Bert could use it only when he wanted to! I feel invincible. Once I get out, I'll control the president first, then the generals in the Department of Defense. The entire world will bow to me!
Wang Bert laughed again, but barely a minute later, he abandoned this seemingly wonderful plan because it had no feasibility at all! This was not an ordinary world. This was the Marvel World. If people discovered the truth about the virus, did he really think those geniuses would not formulate an antidote in three minutes? Three minutes might even be too generous!
Moreover, this virus could not control everyone. In the original story, Jessica Jones later became directly immune to it. And there were countless Super Heroes stronger than her!
Wang Bert had no desire to become one of those foolish villains. This ability could be used, but it had to be used quietly. He could not let anyone notice anything suspicious.
"I'll just treat it as one of the Blood God's special abilities. The Blood God can control others with blood. That's perfectly reasonable!"
Wang Bert smiled. Speaking of which, the Vampires in this Marvel World were far too pathetic. They did not even have magic, and they could not even turn into bats, the most classic Vampire ability!
"At least there definitely aren't any in North America. I'm not sure about Europa. I'll visit someday if I get the chance!"
Wang Bert said to the two virus experts, who were still slapping themselves, "Stop. From now on, you'll stay here and focus on researching viruses for me, improving their abilities!"
Naturally, the two virus experts were unwilling, but they had no choice at all!
To prevent anything unexpected from happening to the virus, Wang Bert did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed to conduct some tests! It was better to be careful. This was a god-level ability, after all. If he damaged it, the loss would be enormous!
