Security Team

In the Stark Studios conference room, several friends he hadn't seen for over five years arrived. Henry, of course, warmly shook hands and greeted each of them.

"Brian, Sam, Mark, Bernie, long time no see."

"Mr. Brown," Brian Mills responded cautiously, representing the others.

"Come on, Brian, there's no need to be so distant. We're comrades who went through a crisis together."

"But you called us here for work, right?" Brian's serious expression suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Well, we're just surprised that you've become the CEO of Stark Studios."

"That's why I've gotten myself into this mess that requires your help." Henry gave a wry smile. Then he added, "But I'm really glad you were willing to come. When I called, I was worried you wouldn't take this kind of job."

Brian said, "We just don't take on long-term protection work. And the previous job ended a while ago, and we're looking for new work anyway."

"Regarding your request, we all agree to listen to what kind of trouble you're facing. If we're not a good fit, I think I can help you introduce a suitable team to handle it."

Henry said happily, "Oh, this is a real help. You know, I have some trust issues."

Brian Mills nodded knowingly. "I know. That's why we're even more curious about who could cause you trouble."

"It's probably more than you imagine." Henry said with a wry smile, recounting how he had been targeted by the Arden Family and had a bounty placed on his head by the Continental Hotel.

Finally, Henry added, "Do you know about the Continental Hotel incident?"

Brian Mills and the others exchanged glances, but nodded and said, "We know about the Continental Hotel. We just didn't expect you to get involved in this kind of trouble. You can't kill, and you can't be killed. Oh, you shouldn't be worried about the latter."

Henry said, "It's not to the point where we can't kill. Everyone's already pulling out guns and throwing bombs. Saying we won't kill would just tie our hands and feet, which would be counterproductive."

"But I hope the main purpose of this commission is to drive them away and intimidate them. What If...? they're unlucky enough to get shot and die, no one can blame anyone else, right?"

"As for being killed, you all know my situation. Everyone knows that I'm invulnerable to bullets and blades, so when it comes to the final step, I won't need anyone to shield me from bullets."

"There's one thing I need to be careful about: I don't want to cause any additional harm, such as hurting people around me or injuring innocent people because of me."

"Of course, it also depends on the methods those assassins use. I can only say try to avoid it, rather than giving in just because someone threatens us with hostages."

Brian Mills asked, "You said the employment period is one month?"

"Yes. The Continental Hotel's deadline for canceling the bounty is one month. What If...? the other party wants to continue, I have other upgraded methods. Then there's no need for pure protection measures."

Henry's simple sentence, though spoken in a calm and gentle tone, was filled with murderous intent in the ears of Brian and the others.

Brian Mills knew exactly what it meant for someone who could carry an airplane and fly it while still being able to hear the sounds inside from outside.

Even without knowing the full picture or the limits, based solely on the portion of Henry's abilities that had been revealed to him, Brian Mills could already devise numerous tactics to not only eliminate the target but also escape unscathed.

Having this guy sitting obediently behind the desk is simply the greatest fortune in the world.

The four men exchanged glances and understood each other perfectly. Brian Mills, speaking on behalf of the group, said, "Henry, we can accept this commission."

"Anyway, we've been working abroad for far too long. Having a job in China is a good way to relax. Besides, your problem isn't serious; you're just putting on airs. Am I right?"

Henry nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

Do you need 24-hour personal protection? Is your home safe?

"That's not necessary. I have a Tabby Cat at home... well, okay, a Tiger. If someone dares to come in, it means things aren't just going to be dealt with halfway."

"Tiger... are you serious?" Old Bernie asked, dumbfounded.

Henry said earnestly, "I took it in after seeing someone abandon it two or three years ago. It's quite effective at deterring thieves."

The four men were dumbfounded, and finally Brian stepped in to conclude, "Well, at least that means your house is secure enough. I don't think something as trivial as a bugging device can stump you."

"That's right." Henry nodded, then added, "But there's something I'd like to ask your opinion on."

Please speak.

"So, do you think my girlfriend should also be included in the protection plan?"

"Your girlfriend? I remember she's a minor celebrity, Charlize Theron," Brian Mills asked.

"Yes, although there's been some buzz lately, she's still not famous enough," Henry said honestly. At least, the fee JJ Harris was asking for for Charlize was still quite a bit lower than that of those moderately famous actresses.

Brian Mills analyzed seriously, "In that case, I don't recommend that you openly give a girlfriend too much protection."

"In the VIP protection cases we handle, besides the person involved, we only focus on two types of people: one is the wife, but not the ex-wife after divorce, and the other is the biological children."

"Only family members with clear inheritance rights are worth the effort to protect. What If...? such a case, the person asks us to protect a seemingly unrelated individual, it is easy to arouse suspicion from their enemies."

"Could this extra protection be for the target's illegitimate child? That could actually cause trouble for these people. But this only applies to wealthy individuals."

"You're single, and you only have one girlfriend with no connections. In those people's eyes, Charlize Theron is a worthless target, and no one will pay much attention to her."

"I believe you should have some private protection or warning measures prepared. What If...? not, just have one. I can develop some emergency plans for when the alarm sounds."

"Don't do anything that would attract attention in public. We just need to make sure you don't accidentally hurt each other when you're together."

Henry Brian had already made his concerns very clear, so he nodded in agreement and said Mills, "Well, let's do it your way. As for Charlize, I'll just remind her to be careful."

"And what about the expenses?"

Henry chuckled and said, "I'm quite well-off now, so don't worry about saving me money. We need to have the proper pomp and circumstance; it'll save us trouble too. Name your price."
