New Project

"It's not just youth—there are also hair loss, kidney deficiency, weight loss, disabilities... We can make something of all these."

Andrew's thinking suddenly opened up. He had been far too narrow-minded before. There were plenty of ways to obtain souls; there was no need to focus solely on disasters.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Andrew developed the corresponding technological products, like Leech Factor. This was a major business, not a small operation for a handful of people, and it required technological support.

For a few individuals, Andrew could handle not only kidney deficiency, but limb regeneration, extended lifespans, curing cancer... However, the cost was too great, making it unsuitable for large-scale use.

"Should I be shouting, 'My path is complete,' right about now?"

Andrew could not help laughing. Just then, Susan opened the door and walked in. She asked curiously, "Andrew, what are you laughing about?"

Andrew said, "I sensed you were coming, so I smiled because I was happy."

"You really know how to sweet-talk."

Susan snorted, though her face was full of smiles. Then, she walked up to Andrew and asked somewhat hesitantly, "Andrew, have you heard of Dr. Reed?"

Andrew's eyes flickered. "Dr. Reed, the man known as the smartest person on Earth? Not only have I heard of him, I once met him at a reception."

"Yes. He went bankrupt a while ago, but recently made a comeback and wants us to invest in a new project of his."

Susan nodded. "The Cosmic Storm Project. According to him, a Cosmic Storm will brush past Earth in a few months.

"The Cosmic Storm is connected to the origins of humanity. By studying it, we might find a way to cure every human disease."

The Fantastic Four plot? I need to find a way to get Susan onto the Space Station. It would be more interesting if she became the Invisible Woman, but I can't let her rekindle her old relationship with Dr. Reed.

Andrew understood. He said, "Reject him. Rebirth Group will not cooperate with Dr. Reed in any capacity. Also, warn him not to invest in Rebirth Group, or I'll kill him."

"..."

Susan was utterly baffled. She could understand refusing to invest in Dr. Reed, since his project carried risks, but what was this about forbidding Dr. Reed from investing in Rebirth Group?

Andrew asked Susan, "Do you believe in fate?"

"I didn't before, but after meeting you, I kind of do."

Susan said, "Even Angels exist, and one of them can be my boyfriend. Fate would be perfectly normal."

"I've met Dr. Reed. His career luck is incredibly terrible."

Andrew said, "Simply put, whoever he invests in has bad luck, and whoever invests in him goes bankrupt."

"How is that possible?"

Susan had been about to deny it when she suddenly remembered something, and her expression turned strange—Dr. Reed had gone bankrupt more than ten times since graduating, and at least dozens of investors had jumped off buildings because of him.

"No wonder I was dirt poor when I was with him."

Susan secretly rejoiced. Good thing I already broke up with him. Otherwise, wouldn't I not even have food to eat?

"Pass my words on to Dr. Reed."

Andrew said, "Also, if he really wants investment, he can go find Tony Stark. I can sell the small Space Station to Stark Industries anyway. That thing is useless to me."

Susan complained, "Do you have a grudge against Iron Man? Why are you setting him up like this?"

"No grudge, but I'd be happy to see him suffer. Besides, this is business. Because of Iron Man, Stark Industries' stock price is a little inflated."

Andrew said, "When the time comes, I'll short Stark Industries in advance and make another profit. That's called a win-win."

"This is a win-win? Aren't you the only one winning?"

Susan complained again. "Andrew, are you really an Angel and not a Demon from Hell?"

Andrew's face darkened. In an icy voice, he said, "Susan, you know too much. Come here. I'm going to punish you properly."

"It's working hours."

Susan rolled her eyes at Andrew, then swayed her waist as she went out to reply to Dr. Reed. Dr. Reed was somewhat disappointed when he heard that Andrew Wang had refused. He said, "Susan, if this project succeeds, it could benefit many people."

Susan said, "Andrew said you can seek investment from Tony Stark. He's willing to sell the Space Station to Tony."

"Tony Stark?"

Dr. Reed looked reluctant. No scientist wanted to see Tony Stark's arrogant face.

Susan gave Dr. Reed a pitying look and said, "In any case, Andrew will not cooperate with you. Dr. Reed, if there's nothing else, you may leave."

"I know."

Dr. Reed hesitated, then said, "Susan, I came to Rebirth Group not only because of the Cosmic Storm Project, but also because I had a dream."

"What does your dream have to do with me? Reed, we already broke up."

Susan snorted coldly. Her tone made it clear that she harbored considerable resentment toward Reed.

Dr. Reed said, "It does have something to do with you. I dreamed of our future son. He told me to win you back quickly, or Andrew Wang would soon steal you away completely."

Susan said unhappily, "Reed, even if you want to pursue me again, you don't need to make up such an absurd excuse, do you?"

"I have no intention of pursuing you again. I've only just made a comeback, I'm busy, and I have no time for romance. Everything I said is true."

Dr. Reed said this, nearly infuriating Susan to death. Andrew, in the office next door, could not help laughing aloud. The higher Dr. Reed's IQ was, the lower his EQ seemed to be.

"I really wasn't lying to you."

Dr. Reed hurriedly explained, "Our future son also told me that he doesn't actually care who his father is. No matter what, the children born will definitely be him and his Sister.

"But that bastard Andrew Wang is not only promiscuous, he only cares about enjoying himself and has no plans to have children. If you really get together with Andrew Wang, I might not be born until thousands of years later."

"Reed, I truly misjudged you. Not only did you fabricate such a ridiculous lie, you even slandered Andrew. Andrew is ten thousand times better than you. In every way, he can satisfy me. I don't know how happy I am with him."

Susan pointed at the door and said coldly, "Leave."

Seeing Susan angry, Dr. Reed could only leave helplessly. When he reached the door, he wanted to say something else, but Susan slammed the door shut with a bang. Dr. Reed clutched his nose and screamed miserably.

"With Dr. Reed's EQ, he doesn't deserve to be my romantic rival."

Andrew stroked his chin and thought, The question is, was he telling the truth? Huh, wait. Could that little boy I dreamed about be Dr. Reed and Susan's son?

"Interesting. Let's see how things develop in the future."

Andrew smiled and Pull In the Mutants at Times Square into the Illusion Realm. Professor Charles had been staying at Times Square these past few days. When he sensed the psychic fluctuation, he immediately used his ability to follow them in.
