Chapter 400 Adrian

It’s still daytime in Eastern Europe, but it’s already nightfall in New York. A single-family villa in Brooklyn is not too large, just a little larger than Evanson’s fortress...

But this is not the key. People who can afford to live in such a house must be a middle class, and they are definitely not people who worry about supporting their families, at least they used to be like this.

Now, Adrian, the owner of the house, sat alone at the table in the living room after his wife and daughter fell asleep. His eyes were covered with bloodshot and his face had an untrimmed beard, which showed that he was in a very bad condition.

Of course this will be like this because he went bankrupt.

He mortgaged all his assets to the bank and invested all the money he received into the team, hoping to make a big profit in the cleanup of the Zitaris, but unfortunately, Tony Stark emerged and all his investment was wasted.

But the bank doesn’t care about your variables. If you mortgage me to pay the money, it’s not that I put the knife on your neck and force you to borrow it, so don’t blame me for setting the interest rate higher, or if you can’t afford to pay back the money, I will take your house.

Therefore, poor Adrianshi could figure it out that he might not be able to live in this villa for a few days, and the bank would soon take away the house. The only money he had left was only enough to rent a small apartment and cover his head, and he could only go to Queens.

I don’t know why, the more the name of New York City is, the worse it is. Queens is the kind with a very loud name. The most important thing is that although people in Queens and Brooklyn are not accustomed to hatred, they may not like them. Adrian himself doesn’t care about these things, but he is afraid that his young daughter will be affected, betrayed or bullied by those in Queens.

Thinking of this, he grabbed his hair twice. Don’t think about such in-depth questions now, but think about how to eat in the future.

Dingdong...

Just when Adrian was worried, the doorbell of her house suddenly rang, which surprised him. Who would come to handle his dilapidated house in the middle of the night? Even if the bank came to collect the house, it would be too urgent?

He got up and prepared to open the door, but before that he opened the drawer and took out his pistol and put it behind his waist. This gun was the most valuable of what he had now. Considering the poor American public security and the terrifying probability of gun robbery, he was wise not to sell the gun.

Adrian stood carefully behind the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Toums, we are here to negotiate a deal with you. Can we let us in?" The person who spoke outside was obviously a man, and his wording was quite polite, but his tone was very plain.

"Come on business in the middle of the night?" Adrian obviously did not believe the other party's words. "No matter who it is, please leave quickly, or I will call the police."

"Mr. Toums, we wanted to come tomorrow during the day, but considering that it would be very busy at that time." The person outside the door did not leave but continued, "The bank salesman will definitely take up most of your energy."

Adrian hesitated a little. Although he was still suspicious of the purpose of the people outside the door, it would always be good if he could have more money when he left here.

So he decided to take a risk. He always likes to take risks. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't bet and devote all his wealth to previous projects.

Adrian held the gun in his hand and opened the door at once. A bald black man in a suit and ties was directly outside. "Who are you?"

"My name is Luther. I am here to negotiate transactions on behalf of the Gospel Company." The black man introduced.

"Gova...Company..." Adrian said uncertainly after thinking about the name in his mind, "Is it the company that made medical devices that was registered two days ago?"

"That's it." Luther nodded.

Adrian said after thinking about it, "Okay, come in with me."

While leading Luther into the living room, he gestured to the surroundings and explained, "I'm a little downturn recently, there's nothing to entertain, don't mind. Oh!" He said this and found that he was holding a gun in his hand, so he put the gun back into the drawer and said a little embarrassedly, "You know the night in the United States."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Luther did not care about it across from Adrian.

"So...Mr. Luther, what are you going to talk to me? I have no skills in medical care in advance." Adrian said very honestly.

"I know, our company not only has research on medical devices, but we are very interested in all kinds of talents." Luther nodded and said, "Our company wants to hire you to join our research team."

"Research team? Are you kidding?" At this time, Adrian never thought that he could still be related to scientific research.

"Of course not." Luther put the suitcase on the table with a blank expression and opened it. There were neat stacks of banknotes, which looked almost one million dollars. Adrian's expression changed drastically, but not because of the money, but because there was a pistol on it. "Do you accept our employment? Sir?"

Banknotes and pistols seemed to be the means used by gang members to threaten jurors and witnesses. Adrian regretted it a little and put the pistol back in the drawer. But a trace of anger also ignited in his chest. Stark Industries is a big company. He messed up his job and ruined his life some time ago. Now another company said it was here to hire him, but there was still a threat.

"Is it difficult to choose, sir?" Luther still looked expressionless and leaned against the back of the sofa, not afraid at all Adrian Hui picked up the pistol in the box and pointed it at herself. "Money and bullets? Which one do you want?"

"Why do I choose!" Adrian suddenly growled, "Why are people like you all like this? For big companies and consortiums like you, we are insignificant, right? You can drive away the threats at will, right?"

"Of course, I think it's like this." Luther didn't care at all that Adrian in front of him was a little out of control, but nodded and admitted directly.

"Why?" Adrian stood up angrily. "I invested all my money into my career, but Tony Stark stole everything! Are you saying this fair?!"
