With ten o'clock approaching, Li Si drove home.
Not long afterward, a jeep arrived right on time and honked several times as it pulled into Li Si's yard.
"They're here."
Li Si was sorting things in the garage when he heard the horn. His eyes narrowed with a smile, and he headed straight out to meet the jeep.
The driver's door opened, and Jonathan's burly frame squeezed out. He hurried around to the other side and opened the passenger door for the person sitting there.
The passenger was a white-haired man in a dark green military uniform. No, perhaps he wasn't quite old enough to be called an old man.
Though his hair and beard were white, they looked more like golden hair that had faded with age. He didn't seem frail or elderly. Instead, he carried the air of someone accustomed to having authority.
"Just as I expected."
Seeing who had stepped out of the jeep, Li Si felt even more confident that his plan would succeed.
The United States' four-star general, Thunderbolt General Ross!
He was an old acquaintance of Li Si's. Before his reincarnation, Li Si had spent a long time serving under Ross while trying to get his hands on Hulk's blood serum.
"You're Lee Stein?"
General Ross looked Li Si over, then nodded. "A young man of great promise, just as I'd heard."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Humility and politeness weren't really the American way. Besides, given Li Si's current status and achievements, he felt he deserved the praise. He smiled and accepted Ross's compliment.
"The samples are in the garage. Follow me."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, neither of them wanted to waste time. They got straight to the point and went into the garage.
Li Si had already cleaned the garage once.
