Although such immortality has significant side effects, such as gradually turning one's temperament dark and cold, it is enough to make countless wealthy and powerful people flock to it.

"In my eyes, this is just the culprit that caused my parents' deaths."

Li Qianhuan showed no reluctance as she handed the suitcase to Mark and turned to walk outside.

"Thank you, this dragon bone fragment is indeed useful to me!"

Mark thanked Li Qianhuan and promised, "If the Hand Society sends anyone over again, I will protect you. When I am stronger, I may even help you take revenge and completely eradicate the Hand Society!"

When he killed the Latin Gang's top leaders, he had already become sworn enemies with the Hand Society. Helping Li Qianhuan was also helping himself.

Moreover, the value of this dragon bone fragment is enough to make him give this guarantee.

The two left Castle Lauderdale under the protection of two bodyguards and headed to Florida Airport.

Mark's phone rang while he was on the plane.

He saw that it was Killian calling, so he answered the phone casually.

"Boss, something's happened."

Killian's voice was a little nervous: "The Trask Corporation sent me another letter, urging me to give them the research data on the Extremis virus, and then they will help me regain control of Future Pharmaceuticals... Boss, what do you think we should do about this?"

Since learning that Mark had implanted an ONC bomb in the back of his neck, Killian has become completely obedient and no longer dares to do anything underhanded.

Therefore, upon receiving the letter from the Trask Group, he immediately called Mark to report it.

In fact, Killian's choice was correct.

The device Mark implanted in him already had eavesdropping and location tracking capabilities. Even if Killian doesn't say anything now, Alice will report it to Mark later.

"Just tell them that you are loyal to the company and would never sell the company's research data."

Mark said with a light laugh.

"Yes, yes, boss, that's how I replied to them."

Killian nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Where are you at in your research on the Extremis virus? Are there any difficulties you need to overcome?"

Mark then changed the subject and asked about the progress of the Extremis virus research.

"Maya and I are currently researching the use of the Extremis virus to treat cancer. The results of the trial are remarkable; the cancer cells are easily killed by the Extremis virus."

"However, there are two problems. First, the extremist virus needs to absorb a lot of life energy during its self-replication process, which accelerates metabolism and causes body temperature to soar! Patients with weak bodies may not be able to wait for the cancer cells to be killed before their bodies can't hold on."

"The second problem is that test subjects injected with the Extremis virus become irritable, easily angered, and emotionally unstable, and we have not yet found any solution."

Killian, of course, dared not hide anything from Mark, the company's big boss, and explained the current research progress in detail.

"I have something that might be helpful to your research. I'll have someone deliver it to you later."

Mark looked at the briefcase containing the dragon bones in his hand and said.

The moment he obtained the dragon bones, he wanted to hand them over to Killian and Maya for research.

If we could accelerate the research progress on the Extremis virus, that would be the best outcome.

"Oh, thank you, boss."

Killian expressed his thanks verbally, but inwardly he was unconvinced.

He and Maya began their research on the Extremis virus together when they were in college.

Killian didn't believe that anything Mark casually pulled out could be of any use to the research.

When Mark and Li Qianhuan got home, they saw that Michael had already returned from the police station.

Although many gang members died that night, Michael and his bodyguards were not at fault for killing the intruders and did not need to bear any legal responsibility.

After settling things at home, Mark boarded the plane again and continued to fly high into the sky to absorb sunlight.

After discovering that the Latin Gang was backed by an extraordinary organization like the Hand, Mark felt a sense of crisis and was eager to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.

Sunlight index: 1700

【Super Physique LV6: (0/32000)】

Mark hasn't been getting much sunlight these past few days because he's been busy dealing with the Latino group's problems.

He wants to raise his Super Physique to LV7, which he estimates will take about ten more days.

Upon arrival in Texas, the plane landed at the airport.

Mark had one of his bodyguards deliver the briefcase containing the dragon bone fragments to Future Pharmaceuticals.

When Killian and Maya first received the briefcase that Mark had sent, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Geniuses like them have their own pride in their fields and don't like outsiders interfering.

But upon seeing the dragon bone fragments, both of them were immediately stunned.

"What...what is this thing?"

Although it looked like an ordinary bone fragment, golden light flowed continuously on it, making the object beyond their comprehension.

After testing the density and hardness of the dragon bone fragments, as well as the enormous life energy they contained, they were utterly astonished: "Such a substance actually exists on Earth?"

The existence of the dragon bone has completely overturned the knowledge they have accumulated over the years.

They then began research on the keel, preparing to use it in conjunction with the Extremis virus to compensate for the virus's shortcomings.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Mark's plane was flying westward, which gave him more time to collect sunlight each day.

Therefore, including the rest periods, he only took ten days to collect 32000 points of sunlight, which is enough to continue improving his super physique.

[Super Physique LV6→LV7]

【Super Physique LV7: (0/64000)】

With his superhuman physique, Mark's power surged once again.

He tested himself using a hydraulic strength tester in his workshop, and now he has a single-hand grip strength of over 2 tons and a single-arm pulling strength of nearly 4 tons!

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Intruders

Mark picked up a pistol from the test bench and pulled the trigger at his other arm.

"boom!"

Mark's arm dented instantly, then quickly recovered.

"Ding-dong!"

A deformed bullet fell to the floor.

Mark looked at his arm and saw that there was only a red mark left on it, and it was fading away quickly.

"As expected! With my current defensive capabilities, ordinary pistols can no longer harm me."

Three days later, the plane landed at Los Angeles Airport.

Mark's vacation was almost over. After giving the crew a week off, he left the airport and returned home.

Rosalie, who was away filming, also returned home.

When she saw Mark return, she excitedly rushed forward and gave him a hug, then glared at him with displeasure and said, "Mark, so you finally know how to come home!"

Since Mark got his own private jet, he has rarely been seen at home.

This meant that when Rosalie missed Mark, she could only video call him through the Panda app.

Rosalie even somewhat wished her child wasn't so gifted, so he could spend as much time with her as other six-year-olds.

"Mom, you know I have two companies to manage now, so I'm bound to be quite busy. But I brought you some gifts this time, I hope you like them."

Seeing Rosalie get angry, Mark quickly had his bodyguard bring out a gift he had prepared in advance to apologize.

These are some local specialties he bought during his travels around the world, including high-end red wine, handmade glass products, rare teas, and custom-made porcelain.

Although these items are not very valuable, they are rare.

Feeling Mark's sincerity, Rosalie's anger finally subsided.

The next morning, Mark and Li Qianle went to school together.

After successfully completing all his exams, he received a three-week vacation.

Just as Mark was preparing to spend some quality time with Rosalie at home, Alice suddenly informed him: "Mark, Killian is currently meeting at home with a representative from the Trask Group named Hopson Hart. Would you like to hear what they are saying?"

"Is Killian up to something again? But his life is in my hands now, he shouldn't have the guts, right?"

A thought flashed through Mark's mind, and he commanded Alice, "Listen to what they're talking about."

“Mr. Killian, your previous request for our Trask Group to invest in Future Medicines to help you regain control of the company has been agreed to by our Group President, Mr. Trask.”

"But he's demanding you hand over the research data on the Extremis virus. Why can't you even agree to such a small request? Don't you want your company back?"

The voice that spoke was that of an unfamiliar middle-aged man, who was likely Hopson Hart, the person in charge sent by the Trask Group.

“Mr. Hart, I made it very clear in my previous reply that although I very much want to regain control of the company, I will never sell out the company’s interests for this!”

Killian spoke with a firm tone, appearing utterly loyal to the company.

"Hmph! Mr. Killian, are you playing us? I advise you to think carefully. There's never been anything the Trask Group hasn't gotten what it wanted!"

Hopson threatened with a cold laugh.

The two parted on bad terms.

As soon as the other person left, Killian immediately called Mark and told him exactly what he had said.

"Don't worry, leave this to me!"

Mark reassured Killian, quite pleased with his sensible manner.

He remembered that the Trask Corporation was also a villainous organization in the Marvel universe, and Mark had to take their threat seriously.

Mark took out his phone and contacted Global Security, asking them to immediately send two security teams to Future Medicine Company.

"Yes, sir, we'll arrange it for you right away, and we guarantee they'll arrive before tonight!"

The other party immediately and enthusiastically agreed.

Mark was already a VIP customer of Global Security, and now that he has hired two more security teams, he has instantly become their most distinguished client.

But seeing the $200 million decrease in his bank account balance still pained Mark.

During this period, Payne Games' profits, plus Stardew Valley's revenue share overseas, amounted to only a little over 500 million.

After leaving Killian's home, Hopson called Lawrence Trask, president of the Trask Group.

"The deal fell through?"

Lawrence's calm voice came through the phone.

"Yes, sir, Killian has suddenly changed his mind for some reason and is unwilling to hand over the information."

"The Extremis virus might be helpful to our mutant cloning program. It would be best to obtain all the research data. Go and arrange for the N-5 mutant clone to be sent to Texas tonight to infiltrate Future Medicine and retrieve the data."

"Okay, sir."

……

Global Security acted swiftly.

Before nightfall, two fully armed security teams arrived at Future Pharmaceuticals by plane.

The company originally had more than ten security personnel, but in terms of professionalism and ability, they were completely no match for the security of these two teams.

With Mark, the big boss, personally giving the order, the two security teams quickly took over the company's security work.

Then they began installing various devices around the company, such as surveillance cameras, barbed wire, infrared detectors, and acoustic detectors.

Mark had already informed them of the potential intrusion into the company that night, and both security teams were naturally prepared.

Around 1 a.m., a woman's figure silently approached the Future Pharmaceutical Company.

Five hundred meters from the company, she took off all her clothes, and her body gradually became ethereal, turning into a semi-transparent state.

She walked on the road as if she had no substance, her body passing directly through the outer barbed wire fence.

Neither the infrared detector nor the acoustic detector reacted when the figure passed by.
