Wells stopped at the office door, clapping his hands in sarcastic applause.
He said in a cold tone, "Simon Stagg, are you threatening me?"
Simon Stagg hissed in a low voice, "I don't want this either, I need him." He was already getting old and didn't know how many years he had left. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stolen Danton Black's research. For fame, and for extending his lifespan, having reached his status, respected and high above, the last thing he wanted was to lose all of it, especially with his body aging, making him feel death gradually approaching. Lin Li's superhuman abilities shocked him, giving rise to ambition. Perhaps within Lin Li, there was a genetic secret to extending life, something he was unwilling to give up.
Wells sneered, "OK, you can advertise it to the whole world. When that happens, I will gather all the world's biological experts to study it together, and you will be the only one excluded."
Simon Stagg was furious. If that were the case, his announcement would be meaningless, only benefiting others, and he would simply be waiting to die.
Wells was at the pinnacle of the world, the most authoritative, a legendary existence. Wells absolutely had the ability to do such a thing, and Simon Stagg dared not gamble on whether he would dare to do it.
He dared not gamble on the truthfulness of Wells' words.
He struggled internally for a moment, but ultimately felt that no amount of money, external possessions, or a large company would matter once he died; everything would be gone. Only with his existence would everything have meaning.
Simon Stagg said, "I agree, Wells, you win."
Wells turned his wheelchair, raised his glass, and gestured a toast to Simon Stagg.
Simon Stagg continued, "Within three days, I will organize all of Stagg Industries' human biological research data for you. At that time, I hope to also receive your research data on Lightning Knight, and we can study it together."
Wells said, "NO, Simon, you study it yourself."
Simon Stagg's expression changed, "Are you going back on your word? I've already agreed to give you all the data, and I guarantee it will be all of it, without a single omission."
Wells said meaningfully, "NO, it's not like that. I will give you all the research data on Lin Li's body and abilities that I've had all this time. At that point, whether you slice him up for research or conduct human experiments, I won't interfere."
Simon Stagg's heart stirred, "You mean, I have full autonomy over his research, and only me? You won't participate? Why?"
Wells revealed the truth, "He is uncontrollable..."
Of course, what Simon Stagg had in mind and what Wells meant by control were different.
Simon Stagg believed he understood Wells' meaning; wasn't it just an uncooperative test subject? However, this test subject could discharge electricity and was a bit dangerous. Once he was in his lab, there would be no such thing as human rights; he would cooperate whether he wanted to or not.
Therefore, Simon Stagg had no objection and was even more eager to proceed with the research: "When will you send him over to me? I'll handle it."
Wells said, "You need to capture him yourself. With the data I give you, you can specifically hire a team of mercenaries and capture him using snipers or missiles…"
Simon Stagg's movements stiffened abruptly. No wonder Wells didn't want this test subject; it turned out to be extremely difficult to handle, requiring at least such weapons and professionals. The commotion caused would undoubtedly be huge, and the police might get involved, making things very difficult. With Wells' reputation, status, and wealth, he certainly didn't need to bother with such troublesome matters. No wonder he handed it over for independent research. It seemed Lightning Knight had been abandoned by him, or perhaps he hadn't achieved any results, so he threw a problem to himself? Or had he already achieved some results, and that's why he threw it away?
Simon Stagg pondered. No matter how difficult it was, it couldn't compare to his gradually aging body. He would take on this trouble.
Simon Stagg was silent for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, I need to actually capture him before I can give you my research data."
Wells raised his glass, "No problem, there will be an opportunity in a few days. You need to be prepared." Anyway, that wasn't the main point. The main point was for you to attack Lin Li and make him show his true strength. Of course, Wells would give Simon Stagg various suggestions, various suggestions that could kill Lin Li, and support some items to restrict Lin Li. Wells would not be stingy with these. If, by accident, Lin Li was killed, Wells wouldn't mind either, because he was weak.
Simon Stagg and Wells clinked glasses.
"Cheers to our cooperation."
"Cheers to our cooperation."
...…
In the laboratory, in Lin Li's laboratory.
At this time, only Cisco was here, at a loss.
Lin Li had just gone down to assemble the Lightning War Cycle. After days of their intense, all-night analysis, research, and manufacturing, they finally achieved the Lightning War Cycle's ground adhesion and its magnetic levitation for aerial flight.
From now on, the Lightning War Cycle could be considered a super motorcycle capable of both land and air travel.
The motorcycle was finished. Just now, while he was looking for the armor blueprints, he accidentally knocked over the G5 Exotic Metal. When he picked it up, he got an electric shock, then he threw it, and it fell into Lin Li's electric fluid tank where he kept his blood.
Falling in wasn't the problem; he could just fish it out. The problem was that Lin Li's blood had actually merged into the G5 Exotic Metal, and then the G5 Exotic Metal became soft and pliable, its black metallic texture emitting a strong silver glow, and it coiled into a sphere.
The electric fluid in the entire tank crackled, and electric arcs danced, concentrating and flowing around the sphere. The silver light enveloped the sphere, bright and dazzling.
What… what was this?
The G5 Exotic Metal seemed to have undergone some strange change with Lin Li's blood, causing the metal to melt and form a sphere?
Lin Li, who was equipping the motorcycle in the underground garage, suddenly felt a strong frequency, calling out to return to its parent body.
He frowned, completely bewildered. This feeling was like the blood in the tank. That blood was what he used to test the stability of magnetic polarity.
Simply put, it used its own magnetism to present two opposing poles, with the magnetism maintaining balance, thereby firmly stabilizing itself in its original position.
But that blood didn't have such a large fluctuation that Lin Li could feel it even in the underground garage. What happened to that blood? Could it be that it could split and proliferate on its own, absorb electrical energy, and then create another version of itself?
Lin Li had known before that once his cells were controlled to leave his body, they could no longer divide. Only by returning to his own body could they continue to divide and merge with Lin Li's own cells.
Lin Li frowned, enduring the strong call, equipped the motorcycle, and quickly checked it. There were no major problems. He then went up to the laboratory.
He still needed to work with Cisco to build the armor and test the Lightning War Cycle's supersonic speed and aerial flight capabilities together.
He also needed to check the changes in that blood, why it suddenly fluctuated so violently that he could feel it even in the underground garage.
"Lin Li, I'm so sorry…"
