In fact, when Umbrella was rapidly expanding in its early days, the USS carried out several kidnappings under Andre's command.
Some top engineers from certain corporations couldn't be swayed with any amount of money.
So, it's fine to just 'invite' you over, right?
However...
Those who are invited will remain forever in the underground research facility.
The method to make them cooperate was simple and brutal: threaten their families' lives.
Fortunately, after Halsey discussed with 049, the brainwashing techniques were refined, so it's no longer so 'inhumane'.
Moreover, with the USS equipped with optical camouflage combat suits, and led by an old Captain from the KGB, their mission success rate is one hundred percent.
Leaving no trace.
Clean.
Effective.
The employees who signed the non-disclosure agreements respectfully greet William, partly because of the USS.
After all, rumors circulated throughout the company that this unit was capable of killing invisibly.
Of course, these rumors were also spread under William's instruction.
Thinking of this, William looked at Megan, who had gradually let down her guard, and asked:
"Did those men in suits hurt you?"
"No."
Megan shook her head slightly. "I've been eating well and living well these past few days, just without freedom."
Speaking of which, she patted her stomach and said self-deprecatingly, "If this continues, I might even get fat."
"Mm, that's good then."
William stood up and said, "I've booked out all the rooms in this building. Feel free to pick one to stay in. I'll have someone send you home tomorrow morning."
"Ah?" Megan was a little shocked.
She had learned from the men in suits that she was here to 'serve' Mr. Russell, but she hadn't expected he wouldn't want that at all.
He's being a gentleman to an excessive degree...
William didn't care what Megan thought and continued walking towards the door.
Honestly, women like this are always a source of trouble, no matter the time.
But he had a crazy woman in his heart that he couldn't let go of.
Besides, after five days of meetings, dealing with those politicians was mentally exhausting, and the fatigue allowed him to maintain a sage-like mode.
"Mr. Russell, wait a moment."
Seeing Megan suddenly run up behind him, William forced a smile and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Can you send me to the filming location tomorrow? I... I don't want to go back home ever again." Megan said with all her courage.
"Oh?"
William pondered for a moment and tried asking, "Did your family... accept money?"
"Yes." Megan showed an expression of extreme disgust.
"Your bodyguard said that they only took me from the filming site with the consent of my mother and stepfather.
Why would I go back to a home devoid of any family affection? It's better to just finish my scenes."
"..." William remained silent.
Indeed.
Although Andre could be ruthless, he probably wouldn't make things difficult for Megan's parents. He might even offer them significant benefits.
Because if a relationship were to form, Megan would soar to become the girlfriend or lover of a giant enterprise's boss.
Even though her family would claim it was for her own good, it was more likely for the money.
"Alright." William didn't refuse and added with a hint of apology, "As compensation for this incident, sign with my film and television company. That way, you'll have a stable source of income."
"This... Thank you so much!" Megan felt like she had found fortune in misfortune.
"We are the ones who wronged you first." William waved his hand indifferently.
This small amount of money was just a casual gesture, doing a good deed.
Arriving at the room door, William knocked and shouted, "Open the door!"
"Click--"
The Alpha guards stationed outside the door, following orders, opened the door.
Then, William and Megan walked into the corridor, and he instructed the Alphas:
"Miss Fox will be staying here temporarily today and will travel to the filming location with me tomorrow.
So her safety must also be guaranteed, do you hear me?"
"Yes, Boss."
"Mm, take Miss Fox to an empty room on this floor," William nodded.
"Yes."
After receiving the order, the two Alphas escorted Megan away.
Seeing this, William could only shake his head helplessly and prepared to return to his suite.
But...
Just as William was about to go back inside, he saw Hunk walking over with a handsome Alpha.
The Alpha's expression was conflicted, as if he was prepared to make a great sacrifice.
"What's wrong?" William asked suspiciously.
"Ahem." Hunk coughed lightly, pushed the Alpha beside him forward, and said:
"Boss, it's too late, I couldn't find anyone better for you.
But we Alphas are willing to sacrifice everything for Boss, so..."
"So, Boss! I'll serve you today!" the handsome Alpha shouted with his eyes closed.
???
This was the second time William had made this expression today.
He was a bit stunned.
Wait...
These people don't think I'm g//ay, do they?
Damn it!
This also explained why Andre had been secretly looking for top beauties and sending them to his room.
Nima, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
William immediately kicked the Alpha who had just shouted and looked at Hunk with extreme displeasure:
"I like women. I did, I do, and I will, even after I'm dead.
All of you remember this!
And... (his tone softened back to friendly)
I know you're doing this for my own good, but you don't need to worry about my personal life."
"This..."
Hunk and the group of Alphas exchanged glances.
They hadn't expected that their method of drawing straws and fighting to select a volunteer would be completely futile.
"I have work to do tomorrow morning, I'm going to sleep now."
William said, then walked back into his suite and closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, the Alphas' expressions were incredibly strange, and finally, they covered their mouths and started laughing silently.
After all that fuss and even getting scolded, they had seen another side of their Boss.
And confirmed that their Boss was normal.
The atmosphere was still quite joyful.
A short while later, Hunk's stern expression returned as he gave the order:
"Alright everyone, those on duty, be on duty. Those who need rest, get your rest quickly.
All matters still revolve around the Boss's safety, do not let your guard down."
"Yes, Lieutenant!"
The morning after the farce.
William took Megan to the Iron Man filming location.
Due to the secrecy of William's schedule, the film crew couldn't believe the Boss would actually come for a cameo.
What surprised the crew even more was that Megan, who had been 'missing' for several days, actually got out of the Boss's car.
This made everyone start gossiping.
Fortunately, Megan had also signed a non-disclosure agreement with William, so she wouldn't reveal what had happened.
This only made her seem even more mysterious!
