Chapter 435 A Clumsy Test

That really wasn't me!

Inside the Umbrella Corporation office, Kevin shook his head, looking at Kara who was anxiously trying to explain, his face full of confusion. "Of course I know that wasn't you, but why are you dwelling on this?"

"She killed Rhodes and framed me. Now the FBI has announced an investigation and wants me to explain the situation!"

Kara looked dejected.

Rhodes is no ordinary person. He is the owner of a technology company, a technical genius by a wide margin, and very influential in Nashno City. Most importantly, he is a rich man, a man of capital.

The sudden murder of a capitalist is a big deal, at least in Nashino, but when the suspect is a named alien, it's not just a big deal, it's a bombshell.

"Just find her and arrest her in front of the FBI, isn't that enough?" Kevin said, looking at the flustered young girl who was being called upon by the FBI for the first time. "This isn't a big deal. Do you even know what a big deal is?!"

"Arrest her in front of the FBI... Hmm, what's the big deal?!" Kara was suddenly pulled back from her daze by Kevin's words, and looked at Kevin with a blank expression.

“Rhodes Technologies.” Kevin tapped the table with his knuckles. “Maxwell Rhodes is dead. Now is Rhodes Technologies’ weakest moment, and this is our opportunity to protect them. I want to acquire it!”

"Acquire...acquire?!"

"Yes, the Red Queen has already prepared all the plans for the acquisition of Rhodes Corporation. You give the plan to Kate, and the two of you will carry it out."

"But...but...!"

“But what?” Kevin looked up, his face clearly showing his impatience. “Kara, this is your work time, not your free time to be a superhero. Think more about your job. I hired you as my assistant because I value your super brain and work efficiency, so you can create value for the company, understand?!”

"Oh!!!" Kara finally behaved herself after being scolded by Kevin, carrying a large stack of documents and leaving the office with her head down.

"Red Queen, keep track of the acquisition progress as needed, and expose the dirty secrets of Rhodes Technology when necessary. This time, we need to launch a blitzkrieg."

"Yes, sir!"

A pleasant sound rang out.

Kevin doesn't value Rhodes Technology's technology, but he needs a shell.

Umbrella Corporation has only been established for a short time, and its current office space is just a three-story building belonging to Kateco Global Media Company. Although it has acquired the property rights, it still feels like it is living under someone else's roof. However, once it acquires Rodtech and restructures, it will immediately become a behemoth in Nashino City. As for funds, Umbrella Corporation is not short of funds at all, because the holographic communication system and the new brand mobile phone have brought Umbrella Corporation a large amount of cash flow, which is enough to cope with this acquisition. Even if the money is not enough, it may also use the power of the Grant family.

He is no longer the playboy Grant once was, but the new hope of the family.

Of course, he doesn't need to worry about any of this. We live in the era of big data. All he needs to do is give instructions and then hand it over to the Red Queen to handle.

Next, he needs to deal with the matter of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

"Those Kryptonians will act soon, and although their actions will be laughably stupid, it won't stop me from using this as an opportunity to infiltrate the Super Situation Bureau."

"Boss, someone from the Department of Homeland Security is looking for you!"

At that moment, Red Queen's voice rang out again, and Kevin frowned slightly, "The Department of Homeland Security, what do they want with me?!"

“I checked her file. She’s Claire Reed, and she works for the Department of Homeland Security. She investigated Ms. Kate before, and Ms. Kate sent a lawyer’s letter to the Department of Homeland Security because of it.” “Claire Reed?!” Kevin nodded. Just then, the phone rang. It was Kara, who had just gone out.

"Boss, an agent from the Department of Homeland Security wants to see you."

"Let them in."

A moment later, Kara opened the office door, and two detectives, a man and a woman, walked in.

“Hello, Mr. Kevin, I’m Claire Reed, and this is Maurice Parker, my partner. There are some things I need to ask you.”

"sit down."

Kevin glanced at the capable woman in her thirties, whose still pretty face was beginning to show signs of wrinkles, and pointed to the chair opposite the desk, saying, "I don't recall having any business dealings with the Department of Homeland Security."

"Mr. Kevin, I heard that you are currently competing with Rhodes Technology for a military contract. Is that true?!"

“We’re competing for a military contract, but is Rhodes Technology also in the competition?!” Kevin said with a smile. “I didn’t know that. Kate handled everything, and I trust her abilities.”

"As far as I know, Supergirl was present at the scene of Mr. Rhodes' death, and Supergirl and Kate had a very good relationship. Now Kate Media has become her official media outlet. Is that true?!"

"Knock knock!!"

Kevin raised his right hand and tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, his tone unfriendly, "This is Umbrella Corporation, not the paparazzi company downstairs. If you want to know about the paparazzi company, please go downstairs."

Claire's expression froze. She sensed the hostility in Kevin's tone, but for a moment she couldn't figure out if it was directed at her or at Kate. Calling a top ten media group in the entire Beacon a paparazzi company? It was the first time she'd ever heard of such a thing.

However, this also means that Kevin has killed the conversation, and she has to continue it.

"So, is it possible that Kate, in order to gain an advantage in the competition, had Supergirl investigate Rhodes Corporation, but Rhodes discovered it, and in the end...!"

"In the end, you got your boyfriend stolen by that vain Kate. You were stolen once in high school, and you were stolen again as an adult. You can't even compete with that vain woman Kate. Who gave you the courage to come up to me and slander me and my company? Ms. Reed, get ready to receive a lawyer's letter!"

"you……!"

Claire Reed's face froze for a moment, then turned bright red. This guy looks decent enough, so how come he has such a mouth?
"Mr. Kevin, as far as I know, although you graduated from MIT, you have never worked since graduation. Suddenly you invented a holographic communication device, and now you have developed a strong artificial intelligence. We are very interested in where your technology comes from." At this moment, Maurice Parker suddenly spoke up.

Kevin glanced at Mo, who was sitting opposite him in a sharp suit and looked every bit the elite, and laughed. "I understand. It's difficult for an ordinary person like you to understand the world of geniuses. But that's okay. You'll get used to it in time. Alright, you two, I'm short on time and don't have time to chat with you. Please leave."

“Mr. Kevin Grant, you must understand that our questioning today concerns national security. The sudden emergence of advanced technology does not necessarily represent wealth and power, but also danger. Extraterrestrial technology is not so easy to control,” Claire said coldly.

"Do you think I'm easily intimidated?!" Kevin sneered. "Gentlemen, you're not welcome here. Please leave, or I'll call security."

"you……!"

“Well, Mr. Kevin, I hope you can maintain this attitude.” Maurice Parker interrupted Claire, who was about to explode, stood up, straightened his suit, and maintained a gentlemanly smile. “I think we’ll meet again soon.”
