Agent King?

There was one place that absolutely had to be monitored. Mo Fei had specifically instructed Jarvis to watch the airport.

There were three airports in New York, one of which was even located in New Jersey. However, Mo Fei had Jarvis keep an eye on Kennedy International Airport. It was the busiest airport in the United States, and its massive international passenger flow was what Mo Fei focused on.

Jarvis searched for agents based on how they were portrayed in movies, though most of what Mo Fei had seen these past two days were pickpockets. Movie agents were always looking around, suspicious of everything. Mo Fei had no idea what real agents were like. Phil Coulson and Melinda May of S.H.I.E.L.D. had no reference value, since whenever they appeared now, they were operating under their public identities rather than as undercover agents.

Now Jarvis had discovered another person. As usual, Mo Fei took a look. He did not actually know how to search for one, but this time was an exception. The man looked familiar. Information from the database instantly entered the data processing center, and in less than a fraction of a second, Mo Fei found the man's "identity."

But Mo Fei could not yet confirm that identity. After all, he had found a character from a movie: Jason Bourne! He was the protagonist of the famous film series The Bourne Identity, and many fans called him the Agent King.

Jason Bourne's real name was David Webb. He had once served in the US Army, later joined the Special Forces and rose to the rank of Captain, then entered the Treadstone Project, where he was trained into an outstanding agent with superb mastery of all kinds of espionage methods and skills.

However, Mo Fei hesitated now. This man was clearly waiting to leave the United States. He was in the international departures lounge, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings as he habitually observed the people around him. That was why Jarvis had singled him out.

Although he held a ticket in his hand, the airport cameras could not see the flight number on it. Mo Fei did not know where he was going.

"The timing doesn't match. Has he already become an agent?" It did not fit the movie timeline, but that was not what troubled Mo Fei. What troubled him was whether everything in the future would fail to line up as well. It was only 1997 now, and many things could not be used as references, including whether the Asian financial crisis would even happen.

He had already set his sights on George Soros, but that man had not made any moves or begun raising funds. There were too many questions. Hong Kong had not yet returned to China, which was indeed true, but since S.H.I.E.L.D. existed, what about the World Security Council? If the World Security Council existed, would there still be an Asian financial crisis? Mo Fei had considered these questions, yet he could not reach a conclusion. He had once been nothing more than an ordinary nobody, and most of what he knew had come from the internet. He did not know the actual details of these events, much less how they unfolded in this universe.

Mo Fei had no choice but to watch Jason Bourne. He felt it was better to call him by that name and see where he went and what he did afterward. It had not been easy to find a target, so he would keep him under surveillance. If he really was Jason Bourne, then no matter what, Mo Fei had to recruit him. From the looks of it, there was a good chance, because Jason Bourne no longer behaved like a soldier.

"Jarvis, keep an eye on him!" Mo Fei instructed Jarvis once more.

"I can, but what if he leaves the United States?" Jarvis asked.

That was a problem. Should Mo Fei leave the United States? Not for now. He had too many matters here and could not possibly leave. It would be useless for Jarvis to go either. Not only would Tony Stark become suspicious, but Jarvis himself could not operate abroad without drawing attention. Mo Fei could only say, "See where he goes!"

"Understood!"

At that moment, Mo Fei dearly hoped the man he had chosen really was Jason Bourne. He wanted to see how the Agent King would fare against Black Widow and Hawkeye, to see who was stronger. This was starting to feel like Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong! Mo Fei thought.

For now, though, it was only a thought. Another issue awaited Mo Fei's resolution: he needed to keep an eye on Jack and Roy. Roy's wife's surgery had been a success. Mo Fei had spotted Stephen Strange in the hospital, but he felt nothing about it. Whether this man would become Doctor Strange in the future remained unknown, and before he became Doctor Strange, he was of no use whatsoever to Mo Fei.

Roy and Jack discussed it and decided to find a good lawyer before going to NYPD headquarters to voluntarily assist with the investigation. It was a necessary procedure. Dragging their feet was not a good solution, and they also needed to prove that they would not betray their companions or Mr. Ghost. Jack wanted to bring Mr. Ghost in to run a company together.

Their former factory was in an industry Jack understood best. It produced automobile wheel rims, steel automobile wheel rims. The industry did not require especially advanced technology, but with technological development, the old equipment had become outdated. For various reasons, the investors were unwilling to put up more money to upgrade it, mainly because of certain US economic policies.

There were many issues involved, and Jack did not understand them. However, demand for steel wheel rims was high. As long as they upgraded the equipment, retained the experienced workers, lowered production costs, and improved quality a little, they would remain highly competitive. Jack was confident he could revive the factory, but there were still many problems. They did not have enough money to buy the factory or upgrade its equipment. More than three million dollars was far too little for this kind of industry.

Mo Fei was now watching the two of them. They transferred five hundred thousand dollars from the company's funds to the United States to settle their debts, hired a lawyer, and then headed to NYPD headquarters.

Then Jarvis told Mo Fei that the man had gone to Paris, France, and according to airport records, he had used the name Jason Bourne. Mo Fei nodded. Some things were lining up now. Jason Bourne was an agent permanently stationed there, so did that mean the Treadstone Project had begun long ago? It was a series of plans, with Treadstone merely the beginning. Later, there would even be genetic modification programs.

If everything unfolded exactly as it had in the movies, then Mo Fei needed that technology too. Genetic modification required a carrier, and viruses were the most suitable carriers. But if a virus spread or mutated after entering the human body, it would be catastrophic. The follow-up Treadstone program seemed to have succeeded, delivering viruses precisely to the intended locations and enhancing both physical ability and intelligence.

"Very good, Jarvis. Continue searching for other targets. Leave this man for observation later."
