Malice

Empathy and such things are nonexistent for Doom, just as big shots among humans usually abandon emotions like "sympathy" to become stronger. Working in the arms dealing business requires an even more iron heart, especially when your boss is from the Blood Clan.

The vampires depicted in movies and TV shows, who fall madly in love with humans, are merely propaganda tactics by the Blood Clan to lower human resistance. Without someone pulling the strings, would those unknown writers truly create content out of pure passion?

Similarly, Doom understood that this person calling himself "Doctor Death" would not be moved by his words. This was a ruthless individual who dared to experiment on the Blood Clan; even low-ranking non-pureblood Blood Clan members were still Blood Clan.

This person named Doom is definitely lying, Wei Xiuming was absolutely certain.

The power of Magnetic Field Rotation allowed him to discern a person's general mental activity and perceive emotional fluctuations with great sensitivity. He could tell if someone was lying almost instantly, unless they were professionally trained, like Black Eggplant Nick Fury. In Wei Xiuming's perception, Nick Fury showed no emotional fluctuations at all. It was unclear whether he possessed such strong emotional control or if he used some black technology to achieve it.

Even as a middleman, anyone doing arms dealing for vampires couldn't be a good person.

Regardless of whether Doom truly wanted the people of Latovinia to live better lives, becoming a middleman, whether forced or for other reasons, his methods were not those of a good person. It's important to remember that the biggest difference between good and bad people is that good people have their own moral and behavioral bottom lines.

It's like in a certain movie named after a hero, where the protagonist infiltrates a human trafficking and opium smuggling gang called the Black Tiger Gang under a new identity to eliminate them. Then, using his extraordinary skills and courage, he eliminates his rivals, causing the gang to grow stronger and earning the trust of its leader, Lei Gong. Lei Gong even treated the protagonist like his own son and took him as his adopted son. Then, when overthrowing the Black Tiger Gang, the protagonist ruthlessly turned on his adopted father without any regard for the emotions that should exist between people.

If this protagonist wasn't the protagonist, and this character image wasn't a heroic image built over decades of film and television, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a cold-blooded, ruthless scoundrel who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Doctor Death handed Doom a smartphone: "If you change your mind someday, contact me with this phone. The battery can last for three years without needing a charge. I hope you can think it through during this time."

If Doom's character background perfectly matched Doctor Doom, Wei Xiuming wouldn't bother with him. But an idea had sprouted, and it couldn't be contained, like a wildfire in spring.

Earlier, the Ancient One had clearly indicated that the doors to the magic hall were open to him. As for technology, he was already among the top on Earth. At the very least, his self-developed Iron Man suit, aside from its power source not being as advanced as the Arc Reactor, surpassed several of the top-ranked Mark series suits in many aspects. If the basic industrial upgrades could keep up, then there was even more to say.

A supervillain combining magic and technology, and...

"Also, I need Mr. Victor's help with one more thing." Doctor Death took a photo from his pocket. It showed a man and a woman in white lab coats – it was the Parker couple. "I need these two dealt with. I hope Mr. Victor or Mr. Bill can help me. I've already found out their specific itinerary."

A Shuka combatant handed over a rather exquisite briefcase. Unlike the Shuka logo printed on the vaccine box, this briefcase had a gilded, antique-style embossed design.

"In exchange, these two latest-model Amazon Cells are my gift to Mr. Victor. Their abilities are several times stronger than the regular version. To cater to the Blood Clan's aesthetic, I cultivated these two cells using the same species of vampire bat from South America. Their effects are the same."

Cultivating the same thing into two versions, Wei Xiuming definitely didn't have that much free time. This was done to dispel Victor's suspicion. If Victor really intended to inject one of the two potions, he could randomly choose one for a test.

"Of course, if Mr. Victor doesn't intend to fulfill this unreasonable request from an unknown person like myself, these two items will be considered my gift."

Although the reason for eliminating the Parker couple was that they were his competitors to some extent, Wei Xiuming didn't have an intense desire to kill them. After all, with both parents dead, Uncle Ben's sacrifice was a necessary step for Spider-Man, just as every Batman witnessed his parents' murder in Crime Alley during childhood.

If this plot didn't occur, no one could confirm the future trajectory of superheroes. Just like how The Flash from next door traveled back in time to save his mother, which led to the Flashpoint crisis and the DC Comics universe rebooting yet again.

Doom took the briefcase, the photo, and the printed itinerary of the Parker couple, and said solemnly, "I will help you relay this matter to Mr. Victor."

At an airport somewhere, Richard Parker and his wife, with their luggage, sat waiting for their flight.

Unlike their lab attire, they were dressed very casually and had large bags of luggage. Their conversation was about traveling to a certain place, making them look like a honeymooning couple or an ordinary couple taking a vacation.

After Wei Xiuming issued a warning to Nick Fury, Black Eggplant began the transfer of the Parker couple. It wasn't as simple as calling them to another place to live in anonymity; disappearing would only raise more suspicion. The Parker couple's resignation procedures were all handled officially, and the handover of lab supplies, data, and personnel was carried out according to the established system.

Norman Osborn initially didn't intend to let the couple, who cost him billions of dollars, leave easily. However, under the table, he was no longer the largest shareholder of the Osborn Group. Although he generally didn't interfere with the company's policies, S.H.I.E.L.D., as a major shareholder, sometimes had a say. Furthermore, Wei Xiuming, who had considerable influence, personally tacitly approved of the matter.

To protect his old friend, Black Eggplant arranged new identities for the couple and reactivated their agent status, increasing their clearance within S.H.I.E.L.D. so that only a few people could access their information.

Their entire travel itinerary was meticulously rehearsed, including traffic jams and accidents, ensuring that every leg of their journey was completed within a safe timeframe until they boarded the plane. Air safety was then handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fighter jets, with three planes providing escort until the flight landed safely.

Moreover, several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents disguised themselves among the couple for protection. They came in all shapes and sizes, and their appearances were nothing like the highly recognizable handsome men and beautiful women often seen in movies and TV shows. They were essentially the kind of forgettable passersby you see on the street.

After all, Wei Xiuming's words were full of metaphors and allusions. Black Eggplant, relying on his agents' abilities and powerful imagination, managed to find corresponding matches for the things he had almost made up.

As the Doctor Death, who spearheaded the modification of monsters within the Shuka organization, Black Eggplant desperately hoped that this wouldn't be confirmed to happen to his old friends.
