Inside Hawke Group's Combat Laboratory, Nathan Hawke was skillfully using his abilities, including telekinesis and invisibility. Aside from being able to summon villains, once a summon succeeded, Nathan Hawke could obtain a portion of the summoned target's power. Now, with Translucent's enhancement added on top, he finally had the strength to face large-scale equipment head-on.

Bullets came screaming toward him. After Nathan Hawke used his body to withstand several shots, he waved a hand, and the rapidly incoming bullets were instantly knocked aside. He caught the final bullet in his right hand, then released it and watched it slowly fall.

Meanwhile, the researchers outside the laboratory were analyzing and comparing data on Nathan Hawke's combat strength. He walked out of the lab, accepted the report handed to him, and gained a more precise understanding of his own abilities. The respectful butler beside him stepped forward and spoke to Nathan Hawke.

"Young Master, the board is holding a meeting."

"Got it."

After getting into the car, he remained silent, but inwardly, he felt irritated.

The nation's most renowned household goods company. It covered a wide range of daily-life industries and ranked among the most recognizable corporations in the public's eyes.

Stark Industries?

No, Tony Stark was more famous.

He arrived in the conference room and took the seat at the head of the table, looking at the bunch of old fossils.

"What is it?"

The shareholder seated to Nathan Hawke's right was also the largest shareholder besides Nathan Hawke himself.

Rick Heim spoke. "Stark Industries' shares are falling."

The moment those words left his mouth, every shareholder turned to look at him.

So their plan was to acquire the other side's shares? Nathan Hawke understood what these shareholders were thinking. They intended to use the company's funds and shares to acquire Stark Industries' stock.

However, according to the intelligence Nathan Hawke had received, although major companies were attacking Stark Industries' stock, none of it had caused any substantial losses. Obadiah Stane was still quite formidable.

Though once Stark returned and created the Iron Man Armor, transforming the weapons company into an energy company through a series of moves, the group's share price would rapidly rise.

Nathan Hawke, however, had no intention whatsoever of acquiring shares in that company.

Because he had already begun preparing to bring all personnel from Stark Industries' weapons research and development department under Umbrella Corporation's management.

This Umbrella Corporation referred to the second company controlled by Nathan Hawke. On the surface, Wesker was the one running it.

To protect the secrecy of the "Superhero Project," Nathan Hawke decided to transfer all personnel from Stark Industries' weapons research and development department under Umbrella Corporation.

When Hawke Group was first established, it had merely been a large household goods company. It was not powerful enough to withstand threats on the real-world level. Therefore, Nathan Hawke intended to bring all personnel from Stark Industries' weapons research and development department into Umbrella Corporation, ensuring they would not openly participate in the "Superhero Project" Hawke Group was preparing and thereby avoid placing themselves in danger.

And Nathan Hawke now planned to make the same arrangements as Stark Industries.

Obadiah Stane knew how to handle people and would leave others a share of the spoils. Nathan Hawke intended to learn from Obadiah Stane and give up some benefits as well.

The benefits of the "Superhero Project."

Nathan Hawke understood his position clearly. He was a well-known power broker behind the scenes, and influence was not something he could gain through his own efforts alone. When he discovered that Wesker's establishment of Umbrella Corporation had increased his influence, he abandoned some of his plans and drafted a new "Superhero Project."

"I've had people gather the data. Take a look."

Nathan Hawke clapped his hands. A group of people entered through the doors and placed documents before every shareholder. After quietly withdrawing, the shareholders began picking up the documents and reading them.

Nathan Hawke continued, "I don't know whether you've actually looked into this. Or what kind of brains you have to come up with an idea like this."

"Using the group's shares and funds to do something like that."

"Is someone planning to transform the company?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

In an instant.

The shareholders put down their documents and turned in unison toward Rick Heim beside Nathan Hawke.

"But the shares we hold combined..." Rick Heim said tentatively.

"A bunch of idiots." The moment Rick Heim finished speaking, Nathan Hawke was overjoyed inside.

He finally understood. Obadiah Stane from Stark Industries had made his move. Obadiah Stane wanted to draw these shareholders into his grand scheme of selling dreams.

Clearly, Obadiah Stane had promised these people quite a few benefits. Although they were outsiders and knew little about weapons companies, they had money and connections, and they were not competing weapons companies on the opposing side. To Obadiah Stane, those advantages made them solid allies.

At the same time, Stark's disappearance had let this group see the hope of making even more money.

After all, Obadiah Stane was still around, and his connections with the military were still there.

Arms dealing was far more profitable than household goods. It was only natural that they would look down on it.

"Fine. If you're interested, you can verify the shares. Once it's confirmed, do whatever you want."

Nathan Hawke's words immediately filled some of the shareholders' faces with joy.

Others were completely confused.

Nathan Hawke saw it all, and that was even better.

Stupid shareholders would not obstruct the implementation of his plans. They just needed to sit back and count their money.

In high spirits, Nathan Hawke put on a gloomy expression.

But inwardly, he was already laughing like crazy.

What a bunch of clowns.

Seeing their beaming faces, Nathan Hawke was truly delighted.

Good for you, good for me, good for everyone.

All three sides benefited.

Although the shareholders' departure would cause Hawke Group's stock price to fall, it did not matter.

He looked at the few shareholders who remained.

"And what about you? Do you have any intention of selling your shares?" Nathan Hawke's blunt question made the remaining shareholders shake their heads one after another.

No matter what, Hawke Group was still a profitable company. Unless there was somewhere better to go, only an idiot would dump their shares.

After the meeting ended, Nathan Hawke needed to head to Umbrella Corporation as well.

Umbrella Corporation was notoriously infamous, even in the Marvel world.

Behind the scenes, Nathan Hawke's funding combined with Wesker's fists had been needed to establish the company successfully, and quite a few people had died in the process.

But there had been no other choice. Although Wesker possessed advanced technology in his head, he lacked the necessary talent and equipment.

At the same time, they did not have many channels through which to obtain excessively cutting-edge technology.

They could only rely on killing and plundering to raise funds and obtain certain hard-to-acquire advanced equipment.

Even so, Nathan Hawke was quite satisfied with Wesker's performance.

After all, he was a highly capable villain and possessed considerable gravitas.

One look at the frightened Andrew beside him was enough to tell.

He had been taught quite a harsh lesson.

"Here. These are the acquisition materials, as well as the virus experiment results."

The acquisition referred to recruiting employees from Stark Industries' weapons research and development department who were about to lose their jobs.

The virus referred to the analysis of the Uroboros Virus within Wesker.

The Uroboros Virus.

Combining the T-Virus, G-Virus, and the Las Plagas Parasite from "Resident Evil 4," the Uroboros Virus had been developed and described as something that would "bring humanity to ultimate evolution." Its defining feature was rigorous genetic selection. If a person's genes were incompatible with it, the infected individual would transform into a massive tentacled monster. The virus had originally been developed to eliminate people with inferior genes.

But because this virus was far too domineering.

Reverse-engineering and separating the Uroboros Virus, then reprogramming it into research on the T-Virus, G-Virus, and Las Plagas Parasite, had progressed very poorly.

But they could take it slowly.

As long as Andrew appeared in the superhero image of Superboy, bringing his influence to unprecedented heights, and then summoned a new villain.

They could first launch a superhero team built around three heroes as its selling point.

Andrew's and Translucent's character settings and superhero images had already been designed.

He picked up a write-up introducing Translucent, along with the positive-energy "Translucent" film they planned to release later.

(Translucent was a superhero with the power of invisibility, allowing him to conceal both his body and voice. He was an extremely mysterious figure because he always remained invisible, making it difficult for anyone to see his true face.

Translucent gained his power in an accident. He had originally been an ordinary person, but during a scientific experiment, he accidentally came into contact with a mysterious substance that gave him the power of invisibility. He quickly realized the immense potential of this ability and decided to use it to protect the world.

Translucent was a very special presence among superheroes. His invisibility allowed him to approach enemies without being detected and unleash tremendous attack power at the most appropriate moment. He could also conduct reconnaissance without being discovered and obtain important intelligence about his enemies.

Translucent was not alone. He formed a team with other superheroes to protect the world from evil forces. He also had a secret identity. His true identity was that of an ordinary person, and he used his invisibility to protect that identity from being exposed.

Overall, Translucent was an extremely powerful and mysterious superhero.)

"Hahahaha." Thinking of what Translucent was really like while reading what was written here, Nathan Hawke simply could not hold it in.

Driven by curiosity, Nathan Hawke looked at the introduction on the other side regarding Andrew, Super Kid.

("Super Kid" was a young hero with extraordinary abilities. He was originally an ordinary person until he accidentally gained telekinesis, an ability that allowed him to manipulate physical reality through thought.

As his mastery of telekinesis deepened, he began to discover that he could create incredible physical effects, such as controlling the movement of objects and altering physical reality. Gradually, he discovered that he was a superhero and decided to use his abilities to protect the world from the threats of evil forces.

He became a brave superhero. His telekinesis allowed him to create astonishing effects in dangerous situations, while his courage and perseverance made him fearless in the face of any challenge. He became an admirable figure whose story inspired many people to pursue their dreams and bravely face life's challenges.

Overall, "Super Kid" was a superhero filled with strength and courage. His story inspired many people to pursue their dreams and bravely face life's challenges. He would forever be a legendary figure, a hero worthy of admiration.)

"Hahahahaha~"

This time, Nathan Hawke laughed even louder.

Andrew beside him turned bright red, completely at a loss.

He knew his own business well. He knew exactly what he had done before.

Seeing Nathan Hawke's reaction, he also understood that his boss knew about his past.

He immediately felt even more ashamed.

"By the way, where's Translucent?"

Nathan Hawke asked after he finished laughing.

"Uh, he's in an intense collision." Andrew scratched his head and answered awkwardly.
