New Project

"Not just youth, but hair loss, kidney deficiency, weight loss, disabilities... I could make something out of all of those."

Andrew's mind 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 some small operation for a handful of people. It required technological support.

For a few individuals, Andrew could handle not only kidney deficiency, but regrowing severed limbs, extending lifespans, curing cancer... However, the cost was immense, making it unsuitable for large-scale use.

"Should I be shouting, 'My way has been found,' right about now?"

Andrew could not help laughing. At that moment, 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 was happy."

"You really know how to sweet-talk."

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

Andrew's eyes flickered. "Dr. Reed, the man known as the smartest person on Earth? I have not only heard his name, I have met him at a banquet before."

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

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

"The Cosmic Storm is related to the origin 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 cannot 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 way. Also, warn him not to invest in Rebirth Group, or I'll kill him."

"..."

Susan was utterly bewildered. She could understand refusing to invest in Dr. Reed, since his project was risky. But what was this about forbidding Dr. Reed from investing in Rebirth Group?

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

"I did not before, but after meeting you, I kind of do."

Susan said, "Even angels exist, and one of them can be my boyfriend. Fate is perfectly normal by comparison."

"I have met Dr. Reed. His luck in business is terrible."

Andrew said, "Simply put, whoever he invests in is unlucky, and whoever invests in him goes bankrupt."

"How could that be possible?"

Susan was about to deny it when she suddenly remembered something, her expression turning strange. Since graduating, Dr. Reed had gone bankrupt more than ten times. There were at least double-digit numbers of investors who had jumped from buildings because of him.

No wonder I was broke as hell when I was with him.

Susan secretly felt relieved. Good thing I already broke up with him. Otherwise, would 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 to Tony Stark. I can sell Stark Industries a small space station. That thing is useless to me anyway."

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

"No grudge, but I would be happy to see him suffer. Besides, this is a business deal. 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 is called a win-win."

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

Susan mocked him again. "Andrew, are you really an angel, not a demon from Hell?"

Andrew's face darkened as he said coldly, "Susan, you know too much. Come here. I need to punish you properly."

"It's work hours."

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

Susan said, "Andrew said you can seek investment from Tony Stark. He is willing to sell the space station to Tony."

"Tony Stark?"

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

Susan gave Dr. Reed a pitying glance. "In any case, Andrew will not cooperate with you. Dr. Reed, if there is nothing else, you can leave."

"I understand."

Dr. Reed hesitated for a moment, 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 a great deal of resentment toward Reed.

Dr. Reed said, "It does concern you. I dreamed about our future son. He told me to win you back quickly, or Andrew Wang would completely take you away very soon."

Susan said unhappily, "Reed, even if you want to pursue me again, you do not need such an absurd excuse, do you?"

"I have no intention of pursuing you again. I have only just made a comeback and I am busy. I do not have time for a relationship. Everything I said is true."

Susan was nearly furious to death. In the neighboring office, Andrew could not help laughing aloud. Dr. Reed's emotional intelligence was as low as his IQ was high.

"I really am not lying to you."

Dr. Reed hurriedly explained, "Our future son also told me that he does not actually care who his father is. No matter what, he and his sister will definitely be born.

"But that bastard Andrew Wang is not only promiscuous, he only cares about having fun himself and does not intend to have children. If you really end up with Andrew Wang, he might not be born until thousands of years later."

"Reed, I really misjudged you. Not only did you make up such a ridiculous lie, you also slandered Andrew. Andrew is ten thousand times better than you. No matter what it is, he can satisfy me. I have no idea 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 still wanted to say something, but Susan slammed it shut with a bang. Dr. Reed clutched his nose and cried out in pain.

With Dr. Reed's emotional intelligence, he is not worthy of being my love rival at all.

Andrew stroked his chin and thought, The question is, was what he said true? 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 pulled the Mutants in Times Square into the Illusion Realm. Professor Charles had been staying in Times Square these past few days. When he sensed the psychic disturbance, he immediately used his ability to follow them in.
