Chapter 824 What Is Compound No. 5

In the future videos previously exposed in the quiz game, it can be seen that righteous superheroes like Batman, Iron Man, and Spiderman are not perfect either.

They all have their own little flaws.

But their belief in fighting crime and upholding justice is extremely firm, which is a fact witnessed by everyone.

These traditional superheroes do not regard being a hero as a profession, but a pure dream!

If they were to change and found out that the crime rate in a certain place is very high, what would they want for money?

Not to mention working for free, some even bring their own dry food.

In order to save the world and fight crime, wealthy tycoons like Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne not only provide security services for free, but also take the initiative to pay for it!

The formation and operation of the Justice League and the Avengers are inseparable from the financial support of these two tycoons.

With these ready-made examples, looking at this Vought Company, it is natural that something is wrong.

In the video on the light screen, facing the lion's mouth of Water Company, the politician Steve did not reject it outright, but bargained: "Two hundred million for the Nubian prince, this is the only price I offer!"

Adeline shook her head and refused. Now it is a seller's market. Baltimore doesn't want it, but other places are scrambling for it. After all, everyone knows that there are many cities with high crime rates in the Lighthouse Country. This is the basic national condition.

She lost her patience in negotiation, but Steve seemed very confident and was not in a hurry: "I think you will agree... I happen to know about Compound No. 5!"

Adeline's face did not change after hearing this, and she still had a polite smile on her face, and asked him what Compound No. 5 was.

Steve didn't mind introducing it to her: "Rumor has it that it can make all of your superheroes lose their glory... But no one wants this. People need heroes. I can make sure that this is just a rumor, because I am your friend, but friendship is also mutual."

Although the politician did not say it directly, anyone who is not a fool can hear the threat in his words.

From this, it is not difficult for the audience to guess that this congressman has mastered some important black material of Water Company, and uses it as a bargaining chip!

Outside the light screen, Billy Butcher perked up, stared at the screen intently, and murmured: "Compound No. 5... This is the crux of the problem!"

Hugh Campbell asked curiously: "Have you heard of this Compound No. 5?"

Billy Butcher glanced at him and just made a quiet gesture. The content exposed in the next video is extremely important!

At this time, in Water Company, some insiders such as Adeline were also a little panicked. Although the black material of the locomotive, the deep sea and the invisible man was exposed before, it was also troublesome, but not fatal.

But this Compound No. 5 is different. If all are exposed, the blow to Water Company will be subversive!

Homelander wanted to fly to the sky and shoot lasers directly at the light curtain. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't let me catch that bastard who only dares to play hide-and-seek. I will let him know the consequences of going against us!"

When he got angry, everyone around him was a little silent.

Adeline didn't dare to step forward to comfort her. She just sighed deeply and said: "The effect of the press conference just now was not good. Admitting the mistake of Shenhai is also a disguised admission of the authenticity of these videos. It will be difficult to deal with the public relations crisis in the future."

To put it nicely, it is a public relations crisis. To put it bluntly, it is just confusing right and wrong and calling a black cat a white cat.

After discussing with the people in the public relations department, Adeline initially planned to deny it. When this incident was over, she would put everything on the "aliens" and label it all as a conspiracy of aliens to invade the earth!

To be honest, this method of refusing to admit guilt sometimes really works, but plans cannot keep up with changes.

The impact of the quiz game was too great, and the higher-ups could not bear the pressure. They had to ask the management of Water Company to clarify as soon as possible, so they had to throw out the abandoned Deep Sea.

Adeline still remembered the angry roar of the board of directors on the phone to her: "Whether it is aliens or other forces, you must act now, otherwise you will get out! If they want to stand up for those people, then give them an explanation. We must learn to compromise!"

Capital is weak. After the turbulent decline of Water Company's stock price, the huge amount of wealth that evaporated out of thin air made many people panic. They wanted to contact the so-called quiz game or the mastermind at the first time, hoping to reach a private settlement with the other party.

But unfortunately, except for the selected players, the audience is just the audience. They can't establish contact with the quiz game anyway. There is no way, so they have to decide to let Water Company take over first.

Adeline thought that the shareholders and capital were only going to give up Deep Sea or several other members of the seven-member group, but in fact, the cruelty of capital was more terrible than she expected!

Including her and the entire Water Company, they have been included in the abandonment option.

The turmoil in the stock market is the most direct manifestation. The quiz game did not attack the stock market. It was just because some big capitals had already started to cash out and run away, which led to a crisis of confidence and further caused the stock price to fall.

Back to the quiz game, Adeline's performance was actually remarkable. After the Baltimore politicians revealed the secret of Compound No. 5, she did not show panic or nervousness, nor did she compromise.

But the smile on her face slowly faded. "I'm sorry, Steve, I have no idea what you're talking about. 300 million for the Nubian Prince, otherwise we'll go to Atlanta."

She accidentally denied the matter of Compound No. 5.

Then the camera turned, and the politician Steve received a call from Adeline while driving to the airport.

This time Adeline's speech on the phone had turned 180 degrees: "You are such a jerk... I am willing to reduce the price of the Nubian Prince to 230 million! By the way, the rumors about Compound No. 5 and other designs on our heroes are all slander and defamation. I am very grateful that you have a certain degree of judgment."

Outside the light screen video, Hugh Yin Campbell widened his eyes: "Is she admitting those rumors and Compound No. 5 in disguise?!"

"As you can see, yes."

Billy Butcher curled his lips and smiled contemptuously: "See, this is why you never see any scandals about those super bastards. Under real interests, all darkness can become grand!"
