Chapter nine hundred and sixty-seven plants without the tree of life
Ross walked out of the laboratory with a worried look on his face. With William's hints just now, the English would definitely try their best to get Banner's serum.
But Bronski was in Kingsman's hands again. Unless he negotiated terms with England, probably no one would dare to go to Kingsman to rob him. After all, William had killed an American lieutenant general and the director of C1A.
Although it was a werewolf who did the trick, as long as the brain is not confused, everyone knows that William is behind the scenes.
He wanted to take revenge but couldn't find any evidence. After several secret collisions, the Americans were the ones who suffered. For a while, no one dared to take over the matter.
The only thing that made Rose happy was that William, who had already acquired the anti-transformation armor, seemed to have little interest in biological warriors. Instead, he was thinking about immortality at a young age.
He met with the twelve soldiers who were protecting him and ordered people to go directly to the airport.
As the car drove out of the Secret Service Academy, Ross, after thinking it over, took out his cell phone and sent William a text message to talk about Blood Orchid.
Within a few seconds, he received a reply from William asking him for a midnight snack.
Ross was overjoyed. It seemed that things were as he had guessed. Blood Orchid's status in William's heart was much higher than that of the Super Soldier Serum.
I asked the escort to turn around and go to downtown London. It took more than 20 minutes to get the car to the stadium near Stamford Bridge and parked outside Gordon's Restaurant.
After waiting on the side of the road for about ten minutes, I heard the roar of the sports car engine coming from far away.
As soon as the Aston Martin Vulcan parked outside Gordon's Restaurant, the restaurant manager respectfully stepped forward and opened the door for William.
After handing the car keys to the restaurant manager, William's eyes were fixed on the Land Rover fleet on the road opposite the restaurant.
"Sir," seeing that his boss didn't respond, the captain of the escort team couldn't help but remind him.
But Ross pretended not to hear, and just looked at William silently through the car window.
William chuckled, then walked into the restaurant on his own, went to the second floor and sat at the dining table and started ordering.
After waiting for about ten minutes, when the Vulcan was driven into the internal parking lot by the restaurant manager who was free, and the passers-by taking pictures of the sports car outside the restaurant had left, Ross ordered his men to stay in the car.
Wearing a jacket, he walked into the restaurant like an ordinary old man.
Sitting opposite William, who was drinking Latour, he said, "You have already taken your reward. Is it time for you to give me what I want?"
"Ha, what did we say?"
William slowly drank red wine, and when Ross was almost impatient, he said, "I will trade Bruce Banner's whereabouts for your Blood Orchid.
Yes, flowers, but what did you give me, seeds?" William put away his smile and said unhappily, "It's still seeds that I don't know if they can grow."
Ross frowned, "Because of this, you deliberately brought the topic to Banner in front of Richard and the others?"
"What do you think?" William clinked the wine glass and placed it on the dining table. "When you plot against me, you should first think about the consequences."
"Hell, as you said, those people under me are all trash," Ross roared angrily. "If I can successfully extract the active elements of the bleeding orchid, do you think I will bother with the funds?"
"No, it's not," William said in surprise, "It's been seven years and there's still no results."
But then I thought about it, if Ross really cultivated Bleeding Orchid, this technology alone could create a pharmaceutical company with the largest market value, and he himself would probably become the most powerful person in the United States.
He couldn't help but look at Rose with sympathy.
"I don't need your sympathy." Although Rose clenched his fists in anger, he surprisingly didn't get angry and said with a sigh,
"We simulated all growth environments and even went back to the depths of the Borneo rainforest to cultivate them. However, blood orchids can bloom and harvest seeds, but they have lost the most important active element.
The growth cycle has also changed from the legendary once every seven years to blooming every year, but it is worthless."
"It turned into an ordinary plant?" William thought for a few seconds and wondered, could it be related to the magical element?
Moreover, there is also a wizard association in the United States. Will Rose have any contact with wizards?
He asked tentatively, "Could it be related to some special energy?"
Ross shook his head, "I don't know, but we have made this assumption, so in the past few years, we have sent no less than six teams back to the rain forest to find the place where Blood Orchid was first discovered.
But even with the three surviving members of the expedition, we still couldn't find the origin of the blood orchids."
What does this mean? Does this mean you have never had contact with a wizard?
Thinking of the English wizard's unreasonable sense of superiority, William felt relieved.
Even if Xuelan was really completely destroyed, he didn't want the secret of longevity to be obtained by Americans.
"Where's the guide?"
"Dead." After a moment of silence, Ross said, "The blood orchid we have is from him. Some people just don't know themselves and steal things they can't keep. The outcome is self-evident."
These words made William feel a little uncomfortable, but this was the truth.
After a moment of silence, William put down his wine glass and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
After saying that, he walked slowly to the bathroom, took out a blood orchid seed from the storage space, and injected it with natural magic power.
As expected, once the magic power entered the seeds, the seeds seemed to come alive and began to exude vitality.
William chuckled. Since the seeds are real, then send them to Celia, the Tree of Life. She will definitely be able to help him grow a blood orchid that can increase his lifespan.
Back at the dinner table, William sent Banner's whereabouts to Ross's mobile phone.
"If you want to catch Banner, you'd better act quickly, because Richard and the others also got this information."
"you,,",
"I'm sorry, you know, when it comes to matters that have nothing to do with aliens, I am an Englishman first and a noble prince with vested interests."
Ross stared at William angrily for a few seconds, snorted coldly, picked up the phone and walked out.
As soon as he got into the car, the expression on Ross's face was not as angry as he showed. He had already prepared for the worst before, and he could accept the current ending.
William's purpose was to create a more powerful abomination, and he never thought of letting the English get Banner's serum.
Therefore, as soon as Ross left, Banner, who was hiding as a doctor in a small town called Itos in Peru, received a suspicious phone call asking him to make a medical visit.
Banner, who promised to go to the clinic as soon as the medicine was ready, started packing his things as soon as he hung up the phone.
The total population of the small town where he was hiding was only over 200 people, and there were only a few families who could afford to pay a doctor to visit him.
Moreover, it is the rainy season, sometimes it rains three times a day, and there are no tourists at all, let alone deliberately calling Banner in Portuguese instead of Spanish on Sundays.
