LRAB Chapter 122 Felicia’s Troubles
Chapter 122 Felicia’s Troubles
Felicia is a freshman at Imperial University and the new captain of the school cheerleading team.
His mother passed away very young, and his father... was a well-known thief, Walter Hardy, known as the Civet Cat in the world.
It's a pity that although he is a big thief, he is not a master thief who remains undetected until his death. He was arrested and imprisoned during a theft.
According to the trial result of concurrent punishment for several crimes, although her father will not be sentenced to death, he will be sentenced to 80 years in prison!
This is almost like being locked up until old age - of course, if the sentence is actively reduced, there is still hope for him to be released.
But some time ago, a mysterious person called this college student's phone and invited her to do something... not so honorable.
Enter Hextech Corporation as an inside agent and help them steal the contents.
The bargaining chip is her father.
But now, his father is not under the control of those people, but in the hands of her new boss, the former target.
In prison, Felicia explained to her elderly father what had happened during this period, and she collapsed holding her head.
No matter how confident she is as a thief in many comics, now, her confidence is limited to those in the academy.
Speaking of crime and betrayal... that's another story.
"What should I do? Father? Mr. Carl is a very powerful businessman. He has seen through everything...
But I don’t know why he kept me, he could have disposed of me and Wilson Fisk together..."
"Calm down, Felicia, you are my pride. I owe you a lot over the years, but you still made it to Imperial University on your own.
What you need to do now is to boost your confidence first, okay? "
Walter couldn't give his daughter a hug through the glass, but felt a little distressed.
Felicia wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "I don't know what to do. I can't afford to offend either Mr. Carl or the people behind Fisk."
"Maybe, but the more times this happens, the more you have to believe in your choice--
And as far as the near future is concerned, I think this new rich man seems to have a slight advantage?I see it looks like his company will be at the Stark Expo. "
"Yes, but so far he hasn't told me the relevant work. I'm afraid he will get rid of me."
To say it was a small victory only flatters the forces behind Kingpin.
Iron Man's riot directly overturned the public opinion and public opinion in domestic elections. Originally relying on the 911 incident, the public turned their attention from the subprime mortgage crisis to the war in Afghanistan.
People think that they are going to take revenge, to take revenge, to act righteously, and to be relieved by the results of the victory.
As a result, after what happened at the hearing, people discovered that anything seemed to make those senior executives and elites make a lot of money.
War will increase defense spending and compress public spending in other areas, potentially making their lives more difficult.
Of course, most people think more simply - that their country is doing terrible things.
This atmosphere directly affects the direction of the election. The president and the wealthy may not pay attention to the ideas of a certain poor person or a few poor people, but they must pay attention to the protests of the majority of citizens.
Jin Bin, as a typical example, was sentenced to 240 years in prison by the Judicial Yuan and was not allowed to be transferred.
No matter how long the transfer ban and the commutation ban last, it shows that those people are afraid to help their own little brother.
This is a problem that can be solved with just a few decrees - enough to show how much politicians don't want to touch this muddy water.
If you want to take a look, you can take a look at the recent purges and investigations. From the CIA to the NSA, a large number of officials have been dismissed and brought to court. Among them, the Orange agents accused by Frank live in fear every day.
It is the veterans who are afraid, those who suffer from PTSD and have nowhere to vent.
The high walls of the prison may not be able to stop their rage of revenge. After all, in this country, some veterans even drove tanks to overthrow the hometown of congressmen...
Thinking about the news he had seen recently, and learning a lot about the current situation with Felicia, Walter felt more and more terrible the more he heard about it.
He was arrested largely because he was threatened by someone of Kingpin's level, and then he was pulled out to take the blame.
So he fully understands what his daughter is going through, and how... scary his daughter's new boss really is.
He doesn't understand technology or politics, he only knows how to steal things, and his creed is, if you want to do it, do it the best, and if you want to steal, steal the most valuable thing.
Stealing has proven to be a dead end for him, maybe his daughter can do something else?
Old Walter pondered for a moment: "But he could destroy our family just by raising his hand, but he didn't do that... Maybe he likes you?"
Felicia was startled and said: "It's impossible... right? I found photos of the boss and a very beautiful supermodel."
"But you're not bad either..." Walter gritted his teeth. Although he didn't want to admit it, it seemed that this was the only way his daughter could attract Karl.
"...Remember what I taught you? If you want to do something, you must do your best. I think maybe you should consider getting married."
Walter was a perfectionist and encouraged Felicia to be a perfectionist as well.
If she likes basketball, she should be a basketball player, not a cheerleader.
If you want to get married... of course you have to find the best man.
Felicia was stunned after hearing this.
These days, she has been living in fear of Karl, and naturally she has found a lot of information about Karl.
The more she looked at him, the more she felt that this boss was extremely mysterious.
Whether it is financial resources, political power or personal force, Carl has reached the limit.
Now if she looked at this boss from another angle, Felicia was surprised to find that his boss was indeed very charming.
What shocked her the most was that Karl was just an illegal immigrant at the beginning, alone, and his conditions were even worse than her own.
The only problem is... Felicia has a boyfriend not long after they entered college.
"I...but I have a boyfriend."
"Forget it, are those brats comparable to your new boss? I've seen your current boyfriend in photos, and he doesn't look like a good guy."
Walter said disdainfully.
Felicia's current boyfriend is a completely ordinary Eagle Country college student. He likes to find some "cool" things to imitate every day. He wants to be new and unique, but in the eyes of adults, he is quite childish.
While she was still thinking, the prison guard knocked on the door - it was visiting time.
"Remember, you must do your best!" Walter knocked on the glass and said the last thing.
Felicia left the prison feeling worried.
The so-called companionship of a king is like a tiger. His boss is not just a simple start-up company boss. He must have someone on his hands...
Looking at the busy streets outside, she just wanted to go back to the dormitory and take a rest.
Walter was very demanding and made it difficult for her to relax - maybe her boyfriend understood her concerns.
……
"So, sir, what are you going to do with Miss Hardy?"
In the lab, Blitzcrank asked.
Karl shrugged while playing with the maker: "What should I do with it? Just let her continue to be an assistant.
It is quite difficult to find a young, beautiful and capable secretary these days. "
"Don't you care that she betrayed you?"
"In fact, she is considered a person who has been coerced. Since others can coerce her, of course I can also coerce her."
Compared with people who don't like anything, people who have needs are definitely more worry-free.
Compared with people who simply like money, people who are bound by specific things are definitely much easier to control.
Felicia doesn't like money, but she values her father very much. If the people behind the Kingpin can threaten her with this, of course she can too.
"Sounds like a villain's statement."
“I am an insecure person, and I believe in tested constraints more than those empty contracts.
Felicia dared to spy for her father, and this was proven. "
"A reasonable explanation." Blitzcrank did not comment too much on his master's thoughts. "The design is completed, do you want to start manufacturing?"
Karl hit the enter key and sat on the sofa.
"Let's get started and see how your new body looks like."
The maker frame started making a sound, and its flexibility made one suspect that it was a Transformer in action.
Carl is building a new Evolution Star exoskeleton, as well as Blitzcrank's new body.
The exoskeleton doesn't leave much to be desired, other than building the design from the original armor and using Transformers' transformation technology.
This can significantly reduce armor weight and increase weapon slots.
At the same time, with the assistance of Blitzcrank, the Evolution Star exoskeleton does not need to be equipped with too much heavy firepower, and can put the heavy firepower into the flight module.
Soon, the maker completed the construction of the exoskeleton.
[Essence Star Armor-Type 06]
[Introduction: Compared with the previous version of the exoskeleton armor, it completely uses Cybertron technology, allowing free movement and high space utilization]
[New interfaces have been made for integration with other modules. 】
【common】
[Weapon position one: left and right shoulder cannons (shoulders)]
[Can shoot plasma fireballs and icicles]
[Weapon Position [-]: Hex Rocket Belt (Waist)]
[Provides three-dimensional maneuvering and supersonic maneuvering capabilities, and can launch small Hex rockets]
[Weapon position three: Gravity field catapult (arm)]
[For deploying gravity field generator]
[Weapon Position [-]: Electromagnetic Hand Cannon (Arm)]
[Using magnetic rails to launch supersonic projectiles, which has extremely strong armor-breaking ability]
[Weapon Position [-]: Thermal Hand Knife/Data Electric Blade (Arm/Leg)]
[It can attach heat energy or release electric current according to the target situation, and can automatically deform when facing electronic equipment to invade electronic equipment. 】
[Weapon position six: high-energy laser arm]
[Directly linked to Hex core, releasing laser temperature range -180~12000c, arm retractable]
[Weapon position seven: magazine]
[There are rockets and various armor-piercing shells stored to deal with various situations. 】
After Carl put on the exoskeleton, he moved around a little, using Transformers technology to increase the smoothness of the exoskeleton by more than one level.
Thanks to the transformation technology, his multiple parts can also switch between different forms to cope with different situations.
Especially the addition of melee weapons - now he began to understand some people who mastered advanced technology but still used melee weapons.
After all, the armor is an individual weapon and cannot carry much mass. When energy is extremely abundant, cold weapons are a good choice if you want to use energy.
Of course, lasers are still better.
"Not bad." Carl tried it on and put the exoskeleton into the inventory.
Immediately afterwards, a humanoid Transformer came out of the maker. He was slightly taller than Carl and behaved like an old butler.
This is Blitzcrank's new body, so clothed and covered in artificial skin that no one can even tell it's a robot.
"Sir...I feel amazing."
"I feel even more amazing, now I have a Transformers butler." Carl shook his head, and then continued to open the maker control panel.
"In the next two days, I plan to build the concept model of the Hex float vehicle, and then we will go to the city to show it off."
"If you want to go to the city, I suggest you go to Imperial University. Many professors are looking for you."
Karl slapped his forehead - it seemed like that.
I am still a college student.
