29. Ross kidnaps Ultraman
Soon, Ji Yuan reached an agreement with Fury: once S.H.I.E.L.D. captured Dracula, he would entrust Fury with sealing Dracula away. As for the price, Ji Yuan would decide how much to pay.
Ji Yuan was actually skeptical of Fury's confidence in capturing Dracula. Judging from the performance of those vampires, the Dracula in this universe was probably only at the level of the movies, but it was still not something that S.H.I.E.L.D. could handle right now. Perhaps Fury had some other ideas.
"Any more questions?" Ji Yuan asked after the agreement was reached.
Fury shook his head and said, "There's no problem, but I have a message for you."
"General Ross would like you to perform a treatment for one of his friends; the price is negotiable."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately stood up and said, "Fury, is this how you act as a bureau chief?"
"I'm a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., how could you leak my information to the military, which isn't even part of your organization?"
"Isn't S.H.I.E.L.D. under the World Security Council? How come it's now subordinate to the military?"
"Or has our Commander Fury become Ross's secret pet without the knowledge of us fringe members?"
"You can't even protect our basic privacy? What happened to the autonomy you talked about when I joined the company?"
After this barrage of questions, Fury was completely stunned. His veins bulged and one eye widened: "This was leaked by someone higher up. Sometimes it's difficult for me too. I'm just passing on the information to you. Whether you go or not is up to you."
"But Ross is a military supremacist. If you don't go, he might use some underhanded means to spread rumors about you."
Hearing this, Ji Yuan burst out laughing: "What, our Director Fury doesn't even have the ability to protect his own members?"
Fury said irritably, "That's not what I meant. I meant to let you know that he would do this, and I'll handle all the problems that follow. Don't worry."
"Alright, Fury, I hope you'll do it. Remember to transfer the money." Ji Yuan waved and strode away from S.H.I.E.L.D.
At the same time, he was also wondering which of Ross's friends Rose needed him to treat. Was this plot in the original work?
As for Ross knowing about Ji Yuan, he was not surprised at all. After all, in The Incredible Hulk, Ross created an Abomination for his experiment, which destroyed countless streets and houses, caused immense property damage, and resulted in numerous casualties.
But in the end, Ross still became Secretary of State. You could say he had a very strong and powerful background, but so what? Can his background be as strong as Ultraman's?
Therefore, Ji Yuan was not worried about Ross's actions at all, nor would he treat Ross or anything like that. He had no liking for people who would do anything.
Soon, it was evening.
Ji Yuan, who was in his sleep, suddenly opened his eyes a crack and watched as a cylindrical object emitting smoke was thrown into the clinic.
"No way, they're still doing this?"
Ji Yuan's senses had already seen everything outside the clinic. Several people in uniforms were skillfully throwing sleeping pills into the shops next to the clinic, where the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lived.
"Hoo—" Ji Yuan took a deep breath of the air that drifted to his nose. "Using anesthetic to capture Ultraman, that's a great idea."
He slowly closed his eyes, pretending to be drugged. As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Since Ross actually used such despicable means, Ji Yuan had to go and see what was worth it for him to do this, and also give him a big gift.
Soon, rustling sounds came, and several tall figures entered the clinic, skillfully lifted Ji Yuan into the car, and quickly drove away.
Soon, Ji Yuan realized that the car had boarded the plane.
About an hour later, the plane landed, and they got back into the car. During this time, several of Ross's men sprayed some more anesthetic on Ji Yuan's face.
Ji Yuan was speechless. These anesthetics were enough to knock out several elephants. Is this how superpowered people are treated?
After driving for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at their destination. Sensing the familiar terrain, Ji Yuan realized that this was the Culver University laboratory from the Incredible Hulk movie.
Originally Bruce Banner's experimental site, it was later taken over by the military to study Banner's blood samples.
Thinking back to the Brazilian footprints he had seen in the newspaper, Ji Yuan guessed that Banner must have transformed into the Hulk and kicked Emil Bronsky, who later became Abomination, to the brink of death. Now he was just hanging on by a thread. Could it be that Rose was looking for him for this reason?
A few moments later, several soldiers led Ji Yuan into a laboratory and sprayed him with a spray bottle.
Ji Yuan pretended to wake up looking confused, and looked at the white-bearded General Thaddeus E. Ross in front of him.
"Who...who are you?" Ji Yuan asked, feigning fear.
"Oh, doctor, don't be afraid." Ross gave a warm smile. "I need your help for some special reasons. Since you were unwilling, I had to resort to this method. I'm very sorry."
Ji Yuan feigned anger and said, "Oh, you're violating my human rights! I'm going to take you to court!"
Ross smiled confidently: "Doctor, I think we can talk about the consultation fee, a fee that will satisfy you."
"Then I'm not sleepy anymore after you say that." Ji Yuan immediately sat up straight and looked serious. "Tell me, who is the patient?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Ross's eyes. He had seen plenty of people who thought they were superior and looked down on everyone just because they had some special abilities. How could someone who was only interested in money understand his lofty ambitions?
"Complete fractures all over his body, shattered internal organs, body bent at a 90-degree angle, heart exploded, and he's still alive?" Ji Yuan asked in great surprise.
This time it wasn't an act; it was genuine surprise. Bronsky was still injured, but the injuries were far too severe. In the original story, he only suffered multiple fractures, but now his heart had been completely ruptured. Most importantly, he was still alive. What brand of serum was that? It was incredibly potent.
Ji Yuan suddenly became very interested in this.
Ross looked proud and said, "This is our self-developed super soldier serum, which has unique effects on repairing the body. If Dr. Ji Yuan is interested, we can discuss it in detail later."
Ross extended an olive branch. In S.H.I.E.L.D.'s assessment, Ji Yuan possessed an extremely rare healing superpower, with healing effects far exceeding those of the technological side. Although he loved money, that wasn't a drawback.
Ji Yuan did not answer, but said, "Based on your description of your physical condition, a deposit of ten million US dollars is required. I will know the exact amount after I meet the soldier in person."
Ross's expression changed, but he still nodded.
Only after receiving the ten million yuan deposit did Ji Yuan happily follow the patient to the ward.
Money is essential, as for treatment... hehe.
The moment he stepped inside, his expression changed drastically.
"No! What did you add to this serum?"
