Early morning.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear.
In the spacious bedroom, a young girl quietly came to the bedside.
With her eyes looking at her nose, and her nose looking at her heart, her eyes only saw the sleeping Samuel, completely ignoring Selina Kyle beside her, as if she didn't exist at all.
"Master... Master..."
The soft call woke Samuel from his sleep.
Opening his eyes and looking at the Black Widow who woke him up, Samuel glanced at the still sleeping Selina Kyle and nodded slightly.
"Swish--"
Silently, Samuel teleported from the bed in the bedroom to the bathroom outside.
After washing up and coming out of the bathroom, Samuel took the clothes handed to him by the other Black Widows.
After getting dressed, he took the coffee and took a sip, then looked at the Black Widow who woke him up questioningly.
After Wen and Meiying died, Samuel had White Queen, Dottie, and Yelena use the power of the Red Room to take over the Ten Rings Gang.
The influence of the Ten Rings Gang spanned across the globe, and taking over all of it was not that easy, especially with others vying for a piece.
As of today, they had only taken about seventy percent.
On the Red Room side, Samuel did not take advantage of this opportunity to completely take over, still acting as the behind-the-scenes Boss.
However, he transferred a batch of Black Widows over.
On one hand, there was a lack of reliable delivery personnel here, and on the other hand, it was for show and enjoyment.
If there were no one in the small garden's pool, it would definitely affect the scenery and his image.
"Tony Stark has been rescued and held a press conference."
"We have also released the relevant news, and the current popularity is very high, second only to Tony Stark himself."
"According to the statistics from Director Miranda Tate, as of half an hour ago, our order volume has increased by seventy percent compared to before."
"It is expected that the growth rate will reach its peak within a week, and the types of orders related to this incident will surge, requiring preparations to be made in advance."
"Anything else?" Samuel asked noncommittally.
These were all expected. If it were just these messages, the Black Widow would not have specifically woken him up.
The Black Widow said, "Director Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. called, saying that the identity of the group of kidnappers who kidnapped Tony Stark has been identified."
"They are members of the Ten Rings Gang, and most of the Ten Rings Gang's forces have been taken over by us, so..."
Samuel chuckled, "He suspects that I used the Ten Rings Gang to stage the kidnapping of Tony Stark?"
The Black Widow said, "He claimed the purpose of the call was to remind you that Tony Stark should also investigate this information."
Samuel pouted, reminding? That sounds good, but in reality, isn't it still suspicion?!
Speaking of which, the Ten Rings Gang that kidnapped Tony Stark in the movie should have been fake, a terrorist group formed by Aldrich Killian under the name of the Ten Rings Gang.
But it's hard to say now.
It's very likely that they were real Ten Rings Gang members who, after the Ten Rings Gang was divided and disbanded, went independent and pulled off this job.
Or they were recruited by someone or some force.
It's also possible that they were terrorists who took advantage of the current chaos in the Ten Rings Gang, used the name of the Ten Rings Gang, and stirred up trouble.
Regardless, this matter had nothing to do with him. He should just reap the benefits he could.
"Did Tony Stark say at the press conference that he was going to close the weapons division?"
"He did, and Stark Industries' stock price has been falling all the way. Conservatively estimated, Tony Stark's personal assets have shrunk by at least one-tenth."
"Moreover, the stock price is still falling."
It's good that it's falling, the harder it falls, the better!
However hard it falls now, it will rise just as crazy (crazy) when Tony Stark declares himself Iron Man later.
"Tell Miranda Tate she has full access to the company's funds. Buy as many shares of Stark Industries as possible."
"Yes."
"Anything else?"
"No."
As soon as Black Widow finished speaking, Samuel's phone rang.
After connecting, a low male voice spoke.
"Boss, I'm Brock Rumlow."
"Something wrong?"
"Nick Fury is preparing to investigate the Ten Rings Gang and needs me…"
Brock Rumlow, the future Crossbones, was taken in by Samuel after the incident with Maria Hill.
S.H.I.E.L.D., HYDRA, Void Express, he could be considered a triple agent.
S.H.I.E.L.D. was essentially HYDRA's front, and as soon as Nick Fury was about to make a move against the Ten Rings Gang, HYDRA had already tipped him off.
HYDRA's suspicions were the same as Nick Fury's; they both suspected that the Ten Rings Gang was acting under his instruction, which was why Crossbones called for instructions.
The news that Wen and his son died at Void Express headquarters and that Void Express had absorbed the Ten Rings Gang was not a secret.
It was normal for them to have such suspicions!
After all, Void Express's intelligence network was a bit too exaggerated. S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Military searched extensively but couldn't find Tony Stark.
Samuel found the exact location in just a few minutes.
It was hard not to make an old fox like Nick Fury think more deeply.
"The matter of Tony Stark's kidnapping has nothing to do with me. The people I've absorbed have already changed their allegiance. As for those still using the Ten Rings Gang name, just eliminate them."
"Understood."
Brock Rumlow responded and quickly hung up the phone.
Since this matter had nothing to do with Samuel, he could act with confidence.
Samuel didn't pay attention to the outcome of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions; anyway, the remaining members of the Ten Rings Gang were beyond absorption.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't act, they would.
For the next period, Tony Stark remained secluded, but his influence didn't diminish at all.
Void Express's business became so good that they needed to transfer people from headquarters for emergency support.
In addition, they also recruited socially, but these employees still needed to be hired and could only handle regular express delivery services.
Orders like finding missing persons or rescuing kidnapped recipients could only be handled by Super Soldiers and Black Widow.
It's worth mentioning that for such cases, they would first confirm whether the recipient was dead before accepting the order.
They wouldn't take cases where the person was dead.
This also led many people with missing family members to treat Void Express as a status confirmation center.
As long as Void Express accepted the order, it meant the person they were looking for was not dead.
If they refused the order, then…
In short, because they successfully delivered a package to the kidnapped Tony Stark, Void Express suddenly became popular.
Whether in terms of wealth, status, social reputation, or public recognition, they made a huge profit this time.
Then, people started knocking on their door.
Coincidentally, it wasn't just one group.
"Bang!"
The conference room door was pushed open from the outside, and Samuel walked in with Miranda Tate and Godiva.
There were many people sitting in factions in the conference room. Seeing Samuel enter, no matter how distinguished their status, they all had to stand up and greet him politely.
