Chapter 172 Exposure
Link has an extra task: to breed a lizard. He had already succeeded in researching this before, so there's no need to waste time now.
However, growth takes time, so Link simply let it grow naturally without paying too much attention, and continued his own exploration.
He needed to avoid all intelligent life within the quantum realm, preventing them from discovering his drone. Link even had an idea: to deploy an artificial intelligence in a specific time zone and let it develop according to his commands.
However, there are too many variables. What if artificial intelligence matures on its own?
Link didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he had to abandon the idea. Although he was powerful, artificial intelligence was very troublesome.
Let's keep exploring.
And so, several months passed in the blink of an eye.
……
Marvel Universe
Jessica continued to go to work at the Foundation every day on the surface, but Link's disappearance must have had some impact, as Frank and McCall noticed.
In addition, within the Avengers, besides the main members, there were others who also saw Link's message. At first, it was fine, as it was an Avengers secret, but some of them started to have their own ideas.
Human greed knows no bounds, and someone sold this information out.
Even with artificial intelligence surveillance, people aren't stupid, and they won't stay in outer space forever.
After the battle, they will all stay at the outer space headquarters for the time being, but this can't go on for too long, as many of them have families.
So, they started taking leave in batches. At first, it was fine, but one of them got greedy and sold the information.
It was sold to an energy consortium for ten million US dollars.
The emergence of controlled nuclear fusion has caused significant losses to some former giants in the energy sector.
However, because Link is a member of the Avengers, they dare not do anything. At the same time, although Osborn Corporation is listed on the stock exchange, its shares are still relatively concentrated and it has not yet formed an energy monopoly.
They had no way to get to him, whether through financial or legal means, but now an opportunity had finally presented itself: Link had disappeared.
Then that leaves his wife, Jessica Jones, a woman who relies on men to control her vast wealth. She's much easier to deal with; just grab her and make her sell her shares.
They can't kill her. If they do, Link's shares will go entirely to the charity foundation, and then the foundation can operate on its own without them getting any shares.
We must also prevent the Avengers from intervening, and we cannot give them a reason to do so. Jessica Jones needs to personally confirm Link's disappearance, so this woman must be kept under control.
Therefore, kidnapping became the first and only feasible option.
So the conglomerate started looking for mercenaries. They didn't pay attention to McCall and Frank, who were with Jessica. Even their bodyguards were old guys.
Moreover, they only travel in one car each day, and there are only three people in total, including a woman. It's a very simple matter.
So, they prepared a mercenary squad of over thirty men to carry out the kidnapping.
At nine o'clock that morning, Jessica set off as usual in her car. Although she missed her husband every day, she had to keep a straight face and go to work as usual.
The car continued on its fixed route towards the foundation. They avoided peak hours every day, so there weren't many cars on the road at this time.
But as they rounded a corner, McCall immediately said, "Something's not right."
Frank tensed up and said, "None of the shops around here are open. Let's prepare for battle!"
Jessica opened her handbag, took out two men's watches, and handed them over. "These were prepared by Lin for you. Just wear them on your wrists. Afu will help you put them on."
"Wow~" Frank took it and then gave one to McCall. The dial then lit up and began recording the two people's information, which was to bind them together.
Jessica turned around, reclined the seat back, took out some guns from behind, and handed them to Frank.
The car stopped; another vehicle blocked its path. Then gunfire erupted—the sound of assault rifles, "rat-a-tat-tat..."
They were aiming at the driver and passenger seats, but this car was no ordinary vehicle. It was originally ordered as an armored car, and it has now been modified.
The bullets hit the car but had no effect. The other side was surprised to see this, but they were prepared. A construction vehicle, a bulldozer, drove out from the side.
"Get out of the car!" Jessica said, and her body began to be covered by the nanosuit. The blue suit accentuated her figure, and Frank and McCall also put on their suits.
The three men got out of the car with guns and began killing the mercenaries around them. Their combat suits were bulletproof, so they didn't need to worry about the enemy's weapons.
Frank's outfit is based on Project Warwick, which is the Project skin for the Werewolf, while McCree's outfit is based on Project Zed.
The three men, clad in combat gear, began slaughtering the surrounding mercenaries. Finding their weapons ineffective, the mercenaries immediately began to retreat.
Jessica dropped her gun, then attached her flying skateboard to her back and took to the air to give chase. She had to find out who had sent them.
When the opponent saw that Jessica was unarmed, he immediately tried to get close. Even if a woman is wearing combat armor, she doesn't have much fighting power without her weapon.
But they were wrong. Jessica's strength was far beyond their ability to fight. After being grabbed by Jessica, they were casually tossed to Frank and McCall.
The two men knocked the men unconscious with the butts of their guns, and the adult male mercenaries were treated like dolls in Jessica's hands.
Moreover, Jessica is also skilled in combat, having learned various fighting techniques with Link. These mercenaries are no match for her; ultimately, combat requires strength and defense.
Jessica was fearless in defense, and her strength was even greater. Compared to her, the combat skills of these mercenaries seemed ridiculous.
Soon, except for a few who escaped, the rest were all caught. Only then did police sirens sound around them, but Jessica had already connected with the Avengers.
Several Quinjet fighter jets arrived in the air and then landed, ignoring the police and taking everyone away.
The Avengers were furious that someone had kidnapped Jessica. How were they going to face Link after this?
Fortunately, Link was prepared, otherwise things would have been troublesome.
