Marvel's Umbrella

Chapter 2 Charity Gala
One night a month later.

The clear bright moon is hanging high in the sky, and the cold moonlight is shining on the earth, trying its best to dispel the boundless darkness here with its weak light.

The third annual charity ball is being held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in New York City.

With the arrival of luxury cars, a large number of wealthy people from the United States also gathered here.

"squeak…"

There was a sound of brakes, and Luna, wearing a backless black evening dress and black high heels, opened the car door and got out, then walked towards the concert hall with elegant steps.

That beautiful face and tall figure instantly became the highlight of the scene as soon as she appeared.

So most of the reporters gathered around to take pictures, just like sharks smelling blood.

"Hello, Miss Luna, I heard that the Umbrella Group is secretly acquiring Starfleet Corporation. Is that true?"

"Ms. Luna, a few days ago, Norman Osborn angrily criticized the Umbrella Group and wanted to replace the Osborn Group as the number one pharmaceutical company in the United States. What do you think about this?"

"I heard that the Umbrella Group is preparing to actively cooperate with the military. Is Umbrella preparing to enter the military field?"

"Some time ago, someone exposed that the wastewater discharge of the Umbrella Group did not meet the standards. What does Ms. Luna have to say about this?"

Facing reporters' questions, Luna just kept smiling throughout, but didn't say a word and continued walking towards the concert hall.

The questions from these reporters were very tricky and sharp, and she had no idea how to answer them.

So not answering became the best option.

After all, Umbrella is now one of the top companies in the industry and has passed the stage where it needs media fame.

It was not until she entered the concert hall that she got rid of these annoying reporters and felt tired in her heart.

"Boss, you really know how to find work for me. You even ask me to work overtime so late at night."

She should have been off work and resting, but Li Feng suddenly arranged for her to attend this charity dinner, which made her unable to help but complain.

As the grumbling and complaining sounds began, the microphone next to her ear soon transmitted back Li Feng's voice.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a promotion and a raise when you come back."

Last month, a reporter infiltrated Umbrella's chemical plant and wrote an article on the grounds that wastewater discharge did not meet standards.

So Li Feng asked Luna to represent Umbrella in this charity gala in order to enhance Umbrella's public image and reputation.

In fact, this incident does not have much impact. After all, eleven out of ten factories in the United States do not meet the standards.

The extra one is a small workshop.

But now is a critical moment, so Li Feng doesn't want any accidents to happen.

Luna smiled at her boss' words, picked up her wine glass, and said unhappily, "No, boss, you make me work overtime so late every day, you must compensate me."

"What compensation do you want?"

"I have next week off and I want you to go to Disneyland with me."

"Okay, I'm busy here, keep in touch, just in case."

……

In the Umbrella underground laboratory.

Li Feng turned his head and looked at the experimental subject in the laboratory whose right hand had become enlarged and had grown a very large eye.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Red Queen, increase the stimulation to the Nemesis parasites and increase the injection of special nutrient solution."

"Yes, Master."

As waves of weak electric current appeared, the parasites in the experimental body began to move restlessly, which accelerated the evolution of the experimental body.

"Roar!"

However, under the influence of special sedatives, the subject was completely powerless and could not break free from the alloy handcuffs and leg irons.

However, the evolution speed of the experimental subjects did not satisfy him.

"Increase the dosage of the G-Virus."

"Yes, master." Looking at the increasingly ferocious experimental subject in front of him, Li Feng finally showed a satisfied look.

……

In the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

When Luna heard that her boss agreed to her request, she immediately smiled brightly.

I finally got the boss out, which is really rare.

Normally the boss is always doing research in the company and it can almost be said that he never goes out.

So even now, in my thirties, I am still single and have never been involved in any scandals.

By the way, does this count as a date?

Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned slightly red.

This scene was immediately seen by a man nearby.

So the man came over with a glass of wine.

"My beautiful lady, would you mind dancing with me tonight?"

Hearing the voice, Luna turned around and saw a handsome man in a suit and tie.

The other person had short brown hair and eyes, was only about 1.7 meters tall, and had the temperament of a playboy and a dandy.

She immediately remembered who the other person was.

Tony Stark, the famous American playboy and chairman of Stark Enterprises.

After thinking about it, she realized that there didn't seem to be any conflicts between Umbrella Group and Stark Enterprises recently, so her expression remained unchanged.

"Mr. Stark, I think that lady might be looking for you."

Tony followed Luna's gaze and saw the gloomy-looking Pepper Potts, Virginia Pepper Potts, not far away.

But at this time Pepper was only his assistant and secretary, so Tony just shrugged calmly and walked over with a glass of wine.

"Oh, you're so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize you."

When Pepper saw Tony coming over, her depressed mood improved a little and she smiled.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to find out the truth. Your dress is so beautiful. Where did you get it from?"

I have to say, Pepper is really beautiful tonight.

With a face delicately made-up, a blue backless evening dress, and a slender figure and curvy body, no one could outshine her except Luna.

But her answer made Tony a little embarrassed.

"This suit? You gave it to me."

"Really."

"Yes, it's the birthday present you gave me."

Fortunately, Tony knew that Pepper was not a stingy person, otherwise he would have wanted to crawl into the ground at this moment.

I can't even remember the birthday present I gave to someone else. Obviously, this means that I don't care about the other person.

So he took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Come on, let's go dance."

Pepper was delighted by the invitation, but she was still very shy and was dragged by Tony into the ball.

In fact, people who work at Stark Enterprises know that she has always liked Tony.

But unfortunately, Tony used to be accompanied by a different Victoria's Secret lady every week, so she could only keep this love in her heart and quietly serve as a life assistant.
