The answer to why Barbara didn't come back was obvious. She was busy. Baker just made a phone call when she came back.
In Washington.
Obviously, the information provided by Baker shocked them. At this moment, they were probably secretly investigating something.
but……
There is definitely no need to tell Irene or Nova about this matter.
Why do you want to get involved in this Aegis and Snake Shield thing? Baker has no intention of getting involved, and naturally he doesn't want Irene and Nova to get involved.
The most important thing right now is to find Uriel.
As long as Uriel was not removed, Baker could not go to the warehouse to take out the jars he had kept for many years without peace of mind to change jobs.
The wine should be drank in sips, and the rice should be eaten in sips.
If there is another World-Destroying Demon King, my god, there will be Uriel in the front, Hydra in the middle, and the World-Destroying Demon King behind him.
Is that little broken ball still good?
Therefore, Uriel's matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
Two days later.
Monday.
The weather is perfect.
When Baker came downstairs from his room, he happened to see Eileen wearing something that looked very sporty and said, "Are you going to report today?"
Erin took a bite of bread and nodded: "Yes, report to the Federal Building at nine o'clock."
Baker nodded: "I'll give you my friend's phone number. If anyone dares to bully you, report him directly and have him fired immediately."
Erin waved her hands quickly. If she dared to do this, she would probably not be able to integrate into the FBI circle for three months.
Baker smiled and didn't speak. He just said casually to express, don't be afraid, there is someone behind you to support him.
Although that guy is now almost degraded to the point where he can't even handle small things.
Could it be that this guy's misappropriation of public funds was discovered again?
Baker thought in his mind.
after an hour.
About half an hour after Irene went out, Baker's phone rang. After getting through, Baker also talked to Nova, who was sitting on the terrace reading a book, and then went out.
Gwen's computer store.
Come in.
Gwen looked at Beck who came in and snorted.
Baker was confused: "Did I offend you, or did your plan to take out a loan to buy a hospital fail?"
Gwen said in a low voice: "Both."
After Stark Bank refused to approve her loan that day, Gwen, who had already received the bad news, returned to the computer store and received another bad news from Skye.
With two bad news in a row in one day, Gwen could be said to be on the verge of insomnia these days and her lips were on fire.
"What did you tell Skye?"
"What?"
Gwen crossed her arms and looked at Beck: "Don't pretend, you and Skye were the only ones in the store that day. When I came back, Skye told me that she was going to resign."
Baker pulled up a chair and sat down: "What does her resignation have to do with me?"
Gwen clenched her fists and felt heartbroken: "Do you know how much time I spent on Skye's body? I watched the cooked duck just fly away, and I still had to smile. I don't care, you pay me."
The corner of Baker's mouth twitched: "Okay, I'll compensate you, no matter what."
Gwen rolled her eyes: "Sign my loan guarantee."
Baker was speechless: "Just tell me how much money you want, and I'll lend it to you without interest."
Gwen shook his head: "No, no, no, this is a matter of principle."
Baker sighed: "If you can throw away your principles, I believe it will be easier for me."
Why do you say that?
Very simple.
It's a good thing that Gwen has the principle of not borrowing money from friends, but some things need to be looked at separately.
Put it this way.
Classmate Gwen asked the bank whether borrowing money needs to be repaid, and it is the kind of borrowing one million and repaying one and a half million.
Of course.
This is not important. The important thing is, where did Gwen get the money to repay the loan after she borrowed it, relying on this shabby computer store that can barely make ends meet?
In the end, the money Gwen paid back to the bank was not the result of Baker changing his ways to pay Gwen in the name of consulting fees.
That is to say.
If Gwen gave up her principle and borrowed money from Baker instead of borrowing money from the bank, Baker would have lost half a million in compensation.
Is this true?
Gwen didn't care whether he could pay it back or not. After all, Gwen's current living standard was almost the same as that of those who could barely make ends meet after bankruptcy.
But Baker always felt that Gwen could still save something.
After all, Gwen is a top student, and a creative one at that. Even if Gwen rises to prominence one day, Baker will be able to recoup his investment over the years and make a fortune.
For example, the fully automated medical cabin that has always been in Gwen's plan.
If that thing could be manufactured, would there still be a shortage of earth coins in this life?
But it's a pity...
Gwen is still at the stage of endless learning, and has not yet evolved to the stage of applying what he has learned.
Not long after.
After Baker chatted with Gwen about her principles for a while, he agreed to show her loan plan to Tony Stark's secretary, Pepper Potts, and then after giving her a few nice words, the topic came up. Formally.
"I checked the Uriel you mentioned."
"how?"
"You're making things difficult for me."
"..."
Gwen rolled her eyes at Baker and said: "In the past two days, I burned out three newly assembled super-powerful hosts and wrote a program to search for the person you mentioned in databases all over the world, but , Brother, please, the name can be changed, at least give me some photos."
Baker's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at Gwen quietly and said, "If I have photos, do I still need you to come forward?"
Gwen smiled happily: "It's not difficult. You never think of me. Whenever there is difficulty, you know how to call me."
Baker was a little amused: "So I haven't found it yet."
Gwen shook her head: "No!"
Baker: "..."
Co-author I just praised you in vain, right?
Gwen pulled out pages of documents and displayed them on the computer screen: "I did not find the person you want, but I did find a clue."
Said.
Gwen pulled up a roadside surveillance video.
"What's this?"
"Surveillance opposite the apartment at 25 Baker Street."
"I know, I'm asking, where are the clues?"
"Did you see that car?"
Gwen enlarged the surveillance screen and played it frame by frame. A black car passed by the apartment door seemingly by accident.
Baker blinked and looked at Gwen with a frown: "A passing car, is this the clue you mentioned?"
"You also think he was just passing through?"
"if not?"
"Passing by? Then what if I tell you, in the past three months, this car has only been parked on the other side of Baker Street for more than five minutes on May 1st. In other times, it has never been parked on the other side of Baker Street for more than five minutes. Passing by?"
"..."
Only in Baker Street on May 1st?
Baker looked at Gwen with some suspicion and said: "The Big Apple is so big, some people may never walk through the second road in their lives."
Apple City is so big.
Just like when many foreigners see Dongguo people, they say wow, you have been to the Great Wall. In fact, Baker has never been to the Great Wall.
so.
This is not much evidence.
Gwen said: "What if this black axle car is registered under Merrick Medical Group?"
Baker nodded and said, "That's a clue."
Finished.
Baker kissed Gwen on the forehead: "Thanks, Gwen!"
Gwen looked at Baker who turned and walked towards the door and shouted: "Hey, wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Baker stopped and turned around.
Gwen waved to Baker, and then continued to type on the keyboard in front of her.
The picture on the computer screen changes rapidly.
soon.
A picture of a soldier's head-mounted surveillance equipment appeared.
in the screen.
A dark-skinned woman's neck was cut open by a local. In an instant, accompanied by exclamations, there was a scene of a river of blood.
Baker looked at Gwen: "So?"
Gwen had always been clear about his racial views, and he treated everyone equally except one, who he believed existed solely for the purpose of wasting air.
Gwen stretched out her hand: "Wait a minute."
after awhile.
The picture on the computer screen changed again. This time, it was in a temporary medical tent. In the picture, the black woman whose throat had been cut just now was lying quietly on the bed.
Gwen adjusted the screen.
The scar on the neck was faint, and it was estimated that after about ten minutes, it would have been impossible to imagine that this black woman had had her throat cut.
Gwen looked at Baker: "The person you are looking for should be like this, right? Immortal?"
Baker hummed and then seemed to think of something: "When did this happen?"
"The day before yesterday."
Gwen said and looked at Baker: "Want to know her whereabouts next?"
Baker said directly: "Missing?"
Gwen was slightly startled: "Yes, then do you know where she last appeared?"
Baker shook his head.
"France!"
Gwen said: "Yesterday, at the corner of Paris..."
at this time.
There was a beeping sound.
Gwen made a wait gesture towards Baker, and then quickly started flying on the keyboard. After a while, the surveillance of a private airport in New Jersey was retrieved.
in the screen.
The little black girl was very clear. At the same time, there was a female warrior walking next to the little black girl.
Baker frowned and said, "Where is this?"
Gwen said, "New Jersey, Everglades Airport."
Baker nodded, kissed Gwen's forehead again, smiled and said: "Thank you, I'll treat you to a feast after I finish solving the things that need to be solved."
Gwen narrowed her eyes, looking very happy.
Baker turned and walked toward the door.
Go out.
disappear.
The bamboo dragonfly roared and flew quickly towards New Jersey.
Fifteen minutes later!
"boom!"
"laugh!"
Baker appeared on a small road leading to Jersey City, stopped a black Chevrolet, and looked at the plug king in the driver's seat of the car... Andy!
There was a bang.
Andy opened the door, walked out, looked at Baker and smiled: "Little guy, are you following me?"
Baker smiled and said, "I think it's more like a chance encounter."
"oh?"
Andy smiled and said, "Tell me, what kind of chance encounter?"
Baker put his hands in his pockets: "It seems that the person I am looking for coincides with the person you are looking for."
Andy's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Merrick?"
"right!"
Baker nodded, then glanced at the little black girl in the passenger seat of the car, and then looked at Andy: "Where are you and those two people?"
Andy sighed: "Caught."
Baker showed no expression at all, which didn't surprise him at all just looking at Andy's gender.
Even a former battle angel has been assimilated into this rolling mortal world for a full six thousand years, which is enough time for a god's thoughts to be assimilated into a mortal.
Andy smiled: "Get in the car and we'll talk on the road!"
Baker shook his head.
Andy said: "Not happy?"
Baker nodded. He was thinking about one thing now, whether to find the eighth male angel after this matter was resolved.
And then kill him?
Baker is self-conscious about his race.
In the previous life, Yanhuang was great.
In this life, being white is okay. After all, as the saying goes, yellow skin and white heart, then, white skin and yellow heart are also acceptable, so-so.
And then.
Baker suddenly discovered that his race was wrong. He was from the angel clan.
Then here comes the problem.
Now suddenly, a dark-skinned one appears among the angels?
What is the difference between this and a drop of ink dripping into a glass of clear water, completely staining the glass of water?
Is that guy so taboo?
Baker frowned, still feeling a little irritated, and finally couldn't help but make a wait gesture to Andy in front of him.
The next second.
Boom!
Baker reappeared in front of Andy.
Behind Andy.
The roof of the black Chevrolet sports car seemed to be separated by sharp objects, and a headless body on the passenger seat was on it.
Andy turned his head and glanced, then looked at Baker who was breathing a sigh of relief in front of him: "Did she offend you?"
The Iron-Blooded Swordsman battle suit on Baker slowly faded away, and he nodded towards Andy: "I have a mental disorder, white is fine, yellow is acceptable, even orange is okay, but black, I don’t like black.”
Andy pointed at Baker's handmade black suit and looked at Baker with a half-smile.
Baker shrugged: "Dark ones, I only like dead ones."
Andy was silent.
One is a descendant of angels.
One is an angel tribe member.
And there seems to be some kind of blood connection between Andy and Beck, so who to be close to is not an answer that needs to be chosen.
Baker smiled: "Let's go, you are a guest when you come to New York. I think you should also want to meet the other two little guys."
After all, he is the last relative.
Baker felt that it was necessary for Irene and Nova to get to know each other. After all, the person in front of him, according to his description, existed from the time of the Queen of Angels to the present day.
Andy turned to look at the damaged car: "Would you like to walk over?"
Baker made a phone call, then hung up and looked at Andy: "The car will be here soon. Let's talk about it. What's going on?"
Andy didn't hide it either.
After the two separated one day, Andy took the other two immortals and prepared to run away to India to repair, but on the train, the memory sensed another new descendant who had awakened the angel gene.
Andy went to pick him up and then went to Paris to meet the two of them.
That night.
There was an attack.
Booker led the attack.
…
After listening to Andy's story, Baker gave his own evaluation.
"so……"
After Baker took Andy out of the car in front of Apartment Building No. 820, he looked at Andy and smiled and said, "Do you regret not killing Booker?"
Andy shook his head: "I'm just curious why Booker is like this. Is it just because he's tired of living?"
Baker shrugged: "I can think of it."
Andy looked at Baker: "Why?"
Baker raised his head and pointed with his right hand at Building 820, which is so splendid that no powerful person can live in it: "I want to ask, after you have lived for such a long time, can you buy a property here?"
Andy frowned: "We never look at whether we have money."
Baker looked at Andy: "I've already given the answer."
Andy was slightly startled.
Entered the elevator.
Andy said with some uncertainty: "You mean, Booker is not tired of life at all, but just because of money?"
Beck nodded.
"Why?"
"Oh, why?"
"I still don't quite believe it."
"It's a pity that this is the case. Times have changed a long time ago. Money, especially beautiful swords, come directly before missions and responsibilities."
"But we have money."
“No matter how much money and houses the third world has, will it be useful?”
Baker said this to Andy. After stepping out of the elevator and opening the door with his fingerprint, the first thing he saw was Nova who was still reading a book on the balcony.
Nova over there heard the movement and looked up.
The next second.
The book in Nova's hand fell to the ground, and she looked at Andy who followed him in with disbelief: "Mom?"
Said.
Nova almost ran over and looked at the familiar face that she could only see in her memory.
"Unfortunately, it's not our aunt, the first aunt, the real one, uh... the one who has existed since the Garden of Eden."
Baker introduced Nova and said, after all, to a certain extent, the aunt Lilith in Chicago was actually born through the cooperation of her parents...
This is a relationship that Baker doesn't want to think about in detail.
It's so confusing.
Finished.
Baker introduced Andy and Nova to each other, then walked towards the bar and asked Andy: "Do you drink?"
"Any sherbet?"
"Bourbon."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome!"
There is always only one kind of wine in Baker's wine cabinet, and that is bourbon. There are other wines, but they are not qualified to be put in the wine cabinet.
Not long after.
Baker took out two glasses of wine from the bar, walked to the sofa, and handed them to Andy, who was communicating with Nova.
Andy thanked him, then thought of something and looked at Baker: "I found out that Merrick Medical Group has a lot of power in the Federation, and it is also a partner of the military, and it also maintains several mercenaries."
The corner of Baker's mouth curled up: "Do you really think so?"
Andy looked at Beck with some confusion.
Nova next to her leaned into Andy's ear and whispered quickly. Apparently, she was telling her aunt Andy about Baker's strength in New York.
Although Nova doesn't know much about Beck's strength, at least Nova knows that Beck can dominate the FBI and even S.H.I.E.L.D. with just one phone call.
After hearing this, Andy looked at Beck in surprise.
Baker smiled and sat down next to him: "Times have changed a long time ago, Andy."
He finally understood why Odin was so unscrupulous and dared to default on the angel family's pension.
Baker now seriously doubts whether all the wealth of the Angel family has been used for their beautiful faces instead of their IQ.
Obviously, with the characteristics of immortality and being the first to land on the earth, it is completely possible to dominate the earth.
But the result?
Seven idiots live in Chicago, one idiot spreads crops everywhere, and there is Andy, who travels around the world as a mercenary.
This is no longer a problem with pig teammates.
There is at least a 10% chance that the pig teammates can be led by their own strong strength.
But this group?
To say it's nine against one would be putting it mildly.
Baker was extremely glad that he had no plans to establish a force. He looked at Andy and said, "It's no longer your business alone. Leave the rest to me."
If this was just a personal feud between Andy and Merrick, then Baker had no interest in getting involved.
But right now?
Even if Uriel was not hiding in Merrick, Merrick must have had some contact with Josie.
Since it concerns yourself.
So……
Baker planned to go to the door in person to find someone to have a good chat with.
Andy looked at Baker: "If Uriel is really related to Merrick, then you have to be careful, Uriel is very insidious."
Beck smiled inwardly.
insidious?
The word sinister was invented by gentlemen to describe certain people.
But Baker is no gentleman.
Baker may not be more dangerous than Uriel, but Baker is certain that his danger is far greater than Uriel's.
However, he smiled inside, and Baker still accepted Andy's suggestion: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Said.
Baker drank the wine in the glass and looked at Andy: "It's Erin's first day at work today. She will get off work at about six o'clock in the afternoon. I'll go out first."
If Uriel is dealt with early, he will be able to change his job sooner.
Baker walked to the terrace, and with a buzzing sound, he stepped out of the terrace invisible, and his figure instantly fell towards the ground...
The headquarters of Merrick Medical Group is also in Manhattan, directly across from Marcus Vega Park.
It's a great place.
but……
Easy to find.
Landed.
Baker emerged from the invisibility state as the black-haired Hero Moulton, crossed the road, and walked slowly towards the Merrick Building across the road.
Hands dropped.
Dark magic slowly surged through Baker's hands.
Normally, if Baker wants to cause trouble for Merrick, he will come at night. After all, this is Manhattan, and it is not easy to reconcile with the Security Council. If a major case is caused in broad daylight, it is estimated that The relationship is on the verge of trouble again.
But right now?
Baker now seriously doubts that Master Ancient One's visit that night had a purpose. Otherwise, why would he have thrown the basic magic principles manual of [Mirror World] to him?
Although it is only at the elementary level and cannot bring an entire area into the mirror world, it is still possible to drag a building into the mirror world.
Although Baker has not changed his profession at the moment, the extraordinary talent of the dark leader Syndra in the lottery is surging all the time.
The moment Baker crossed the street and walked straight up the steps toward the door of the Merrick Building, several security guards watching next to him saw Baker with countless black energy surging in his hands.
"Buzz!"
"stop."
"who?"
"Stop, sir!"
"Ah!"
"Come into my world!"
"..."
