Although it is impolite to temporarily advance the meeting time, but for S.H.I.E.L.D., there is no need to be too polite.

People in S.H.I.E.L.D. are typical people who want to open a dyeing workshop just to give some color.

The more polite you are in dealing with them, the easier it is for them to get ahead.

S.H.I.E.L.D.

New York branch.

Coulson, who was processing official documents, suddenly received a message from No. 3.

At half past eleven?

Looking at the meeting time displayed on the message, Coulson, whose hairline was seriously receding, cursed Fuck in his heart.

"Agent Romanov, come with me to the Octopus Headquarters Building."

Horqin picked up the phone on the table and dialed Natasha's number.

"Okay, I'll come over right away!"

Natasha replied immediately.

A few minutes later, Coulson and Natasha drove towards the Octopus Headquarters building in a black Chevrolet SUV that the American police are particularly fond of.

Coulson didn't have the idea of ​​driving his own antique car "Laura".

Although it would be more convenient to drive the flying "Laura" in the past, considering the bad relationship between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Russell, Coulson decisively gave up the idea.

Traffic in New York is as bad as ever.

Although the rush hour for commuting has long passed, the traffic situation on the street is not much better.

Twenty-five minutes past eleven!

Relying on a slightly "rude" driving method, Coulson and Natasha finally arrived at the Octopus Headquarters Building.

Led by the staff, they came to the office on the top floor and saw Russell sitting on the sofa in the reception area drinking whiskey.

"Mr. Bradley, long time no see!"

Seeing that Russell had no intention of getting up, Coulson showed a professional smile and said to Russell.

"It's just over a week, not too long!"

Russell glanced at Coulson and Natasha, pointed to the sofa next to him, and signaled them to sit down.

Although his current attitude was somewhat disrespectful, neither Coulson nor Natasha said anything. They went straight to the sofa in front of him and sat down, looking at him calmly.

Coulson was still wearing the black suit that had never changed for thousands of years, and his hair was not too much and he was meticulously groomed.

Unlike Coulson, who exudes a rigorous aura all over his body, Natasha's dress is much more casual.

Natasha didn't wear the uniform that could fully show off her beautiful curves, but rather loose casual clothes, giving people the feeling that she just finished going to the gym.

Pity I didn't wear yoga pants!

"To make a long story short, you contacted my artificial intelligence assistant and said that you wanted to talk to me about the ownership of the symbiote dragon."

Russell glanced at Coulson and Natasha, and said casually.

"That's right! You may not be clear, Mr. Bradley, but we discovered the symbiote dragon in the first place."

"Because of some accidents, this symbiote dragon escaped from our laboratory."

"If you don't mind, Mr. Bradley, we hope to recover this symbiote dragon."

Coulson said politely.

Although his expression and tone were polite, his words were not very polite.

Recycle Grendel?

Russell never intended to give up what was his own to anyone else, let alone S.H.I.E.L.D.

"What if I say I mind?"

Russell looked at Coulson and said.

"Mr. Bradley, we don't want to conflict with you. The symbiote dragon belongs to our S.H.I.E.L.D. I hope you can understand."

Coulson said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Correct you, Grendel was never yours, you just happened to dig him out."

"By the way, Grendel is the name of the symbiote dragon."

"I've talked to him and I know what the accident you're talking about is, so you don't have to use those official words to fool me."

Russell said with a look of disdain.

"Mr. Bradley, we know that it is difficult for you to hand over Grendel to us, but you can rest assured that we will not let you sacrifice your interests in vain."

"As long as you are willing to hand over Grendel to us, we are willing to share all the benefits with you."

"This is some of the research results we have obtained so far, you can take a look first."

After speaking, Coulson took out a tablet and handed it to Russell.

Although it is impossible for him to hand over Grendel to S.H.I.E.L.D., Russell doesn't mind seeing what S.H.I.E.L.D. has researched.

He put down the wine glass in his hand, took the tablet computer handed by Coulson, and quickly browsed it.

Russell originally thought that the research materials on the computer were at most about symbiote agents, but unexpectedly, in addition to the contents of symbiote agents, there were actually some contents about the medical field.

Symbiote potion!

Looking at the content on the computer, Russell mourned for a few seconds for the second-generation symbiote that Natasha brought back to S.H.I.E.L.D.

The symbiont has a powerful healing ability, which can be known without research.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is well aware of this, and they've gone a step further.

By studying the healing power of the symbiont, they have developed several drugs for terminal diseases such as cancer and AIDS.

Interesting!

Russell wouldn't be surprised if S.H.I.E.L.D. only uses the symbiote for military purposes.

Unexpectedly, S.H.I.E.L.D. actually used symbionts in the field of medicine.

"The report was interesting, but I don't see anything worth working with in it."

"Although the Octopus Laboratory has not been established for a long time, these things can also be researched by the Octopus Laboratory."

Russell put the tablet on the table, looked at Coulson and said.

"I don't doubt that the Octopus Laboratory has such capabilities. After all, the Octopus Laboratory has already started the development of gamma drugs."

"But in the pharmaceutical field, Octopus has no roots whatsoever."

"If you are willing to share the symbiote dragon Grendel with us, S.H.I.E.L.D. will fully assist Octopus Company to make Octopus Company a dual giant in the military and pharmaceutical fields."

Perhaps it was the experience learned from the military, or it may be that the SHIELD did not want to have a fierce conflict with Russell. This time, the SHIELD gave a completely different solution from the past.

Instead of robbing Grendel, they plan to develop the symbiote with Russell.

From S.H.I.E.L.D.'s point of view, this is already a big concession.

"Director Coulson, do you think I'm a little silly?"

Russell asked suddenly.

"How could it be, Mr. Bradley, how could you have such an idea?"

Coulson immediately denied.

"Really? But what you are doing now is no different from dealing with fools."

"The Octopus Company does not have any foundation in the medical field~lightnovelpub.net~ But as long as I think about it, even without the help of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Octopus Company can still become a giant in the medical field."

"I have all the funds, personnel, equipment, and materials. Even if there are some official procedures to go through when entering the medical field, I can handle them."

"Isn't S.H.I.E.L.D. a bit too presumptuous to use the help I don't need to talk to me about cooperation?"

In addition to the official background and support, what S.H.I.E.L.D. can do, the Octopus Company can do, or even do better.

Just relying on a so-called help to take Grendel away from him, S.H.I.E.L.D. overestimated itself.

"Mr. Bradley, this is just a preliminary plan. If you have other needs, you can open your mouth. As long as we can do it, we can talk!"

"No need, we have nothing to talk about. I won't hand Grendel to anyone. If you insist on grabbing it, you can try it."
