If this subordinate successfully pulled through, he would surely become a sharp blade within the organization.
Of course, he was only envious. Actually injecting the serum and gambling on that one-percent success rate was out of the question for him.
"Thank you, Captain!"
In his weakened state, Yang Hao offered his sincere thanks. He was then taken away to rest and undergo the necessary examinations to confirm the effects of the serum enhancement.
"Can't this thing really be perfected?"

Erskine had originally worked under Hydra and developed an early, unstable serum—the
