Ada saw her phone ring, took it out to check, and it was indeed the sound of a message about money arriving.
Simmons, however, keenly noticed something: Ada had changed her phone to a transparent crystal model. "You changed your phone?"
"Yes, someone gave it to me. This is your item, along with some residual data." Ada didn't care about the question; this phone was given to her by Eddie, and in critical moments, it could even be used as a grenade, which was very convenient.
This made Simmons a bit jealous; he was the real devoted follower, Ada's loyal follower. "Who was that person?!"
"That's none of your business. You have ten minutes to inspect the goods." Ada glanced at her watch, calmly sipping her coffee. She had no affection for the man in front of her, even a sense of disgust.
Simmons took a deep breath to calm himself, then waved for his researcher to begin the study. "Carla, this is for you. Ada, can we talk?"
After receiving the virus sample, Carla began comparative research, not caring about what happened next.
"Not interested!" Ada no longer wanted to speak to Simmons, not since he participated in ordering the nuclear bombing of Raccoon City. She had been in Raccoon City herself, and under such an all-out missile strike, no one could have survived.
It was said that massive ground-penetrating missiles had even altered the geology. Not even cockroaches survived, and the area around Raccoon City remained quarantined, with numerous personnel carrying out disinfection work.
"Ada, you've changed. Have you met a man who has captured your heart?" Simmons asked coldly.
"Simmons, that's none of your business. I've given you the item, and I'm leaving. And don't contact me again; I won't accept any more commissions related to you. You're a good person, a good person who can destroy a city, haha." Ada finished speaking and stood up.
"Stop her!" Simmons decided to use his last resort. If he couldn't win her heart, he would take her person.
Bang! The burly bodyguard didn't even have time to react before he was kicked flying by Ada's high heel.
"Don't provoke me; you'll be the next one to suffer. You're not even as good as Kaplan, hmph, he's much more outstanding than you, Simmons!" Ada sneered as she walked out of the coffee shop in her high heels.
To help reduce obstacles for the man she admired, Ada threw a smokescreen at Simmons, making him believe she had defected to Kaplan. This way, the two sides would clash, buying Eddie a lot of time.
The world is never short of devoted followers, especially when facing a goddess with a strong aura like Ada. If one can win her favor, what does it matter to be a dog?
In the lab, Eddie was trying to improve the G-Virus. This virus had great potential for growth, and the current task was to eliminate the flaw of eyes appearing.
Ding! A notification sound came, and two different serums were successfully produced in the test tube slot.
Tap, tap, tap, a crisp sound of high heels echoed. A pair of delicate hands rested on his shoulders, and Jessica's voice became very gentle, "Do you need me to be a sample?"
Eddie shook his head. "No, neither you nor Lisa need to be. I'm not like those madmen; I prefer to research with cells, not lives. Starting from the simplest point, not halfway through."
"You're so kind!" Jessica smiled gently.
"I'm not kind; I'm a bad person. You go into the cryo-chamber first; you need to begin hibernation for a complete repair." Eddie pointed to the cryo-chamber ahead and said.
Lisa walked up to Eddie. "Do I need to too?" Her eyes were unique, seeming to have double pupils. The G-Virus mutation was well controlled by her, retaining the characteristics of G while maximizing its advantages.
"Your eyes are beautiful." Eddie also noticed it. Could he also conduct research in this area?
"Thank you. If you need me as a specimen, you're always welcome." Lisa's expression was cold.
"Not necessary, but I do need a little of your blood and skin cells." Eddie was not polite and personally went to draw blood.
"Be gentle, I'm afraid of pain." Lisa spoke a bit more than usual; she wouldn't normally say such things.
This made Eddie a bit speechless. Would a woman who could beat G-William be afraid of pain? "Alright, I'll be gentle. You're becoming more and more like a little woman."
"Don't girls usually act this way to be liked by men?" Lisa tilted her head and asked.
"You don't need to do that. You don't need to care about what others think. You only need to care about what I think; no one else is as good to you as I am." Eddie didn't want his cooked duck to fly away.
Pfft! Lisa suddenly laughed. "You really aren't a good person; you're doing very well. My family, I have you, and I have Mom. I just read in a book that you'd prefer it this way. You don't like my change?"
"No matter what you become, you are my family. Alright, take care of it, and go into the cryo-chamber. You'll undergo two months of repair to stabilize you." Eddie waved his hand, not caring about this change.
"Why am I two months?" Lisa was a little displeased; she didn't want to stay in a cold, sealed container.
"Because to be completely cured, it takes that much time. Come on, stop nagging. When you recover, I'll take you for pizza." Eddie could only coax her. This was a super bodyguard, obedient and capable, and could even warm the bed. This was a unique bodyguard.
Chapter 266: Becca's Spending Plan
"Eddie, Excella has transported everything over, almost emptying the lab equipment. Isn't she afraid the Travis Family will find out and cause her trouble?" Christine Yamata walked over in high heels. She didn't actually like high heels, but the man liked them and set the rule, so she reluctantly complied.
"She has no retreat. Without joining us, there's no hope. Making this decision isn't strange. Some equipment is indeed very difficult for us to buy. With her help, we can buy a lot." Eddie said, staring at the computer screen.
"Then I'll go handle it. Oh, you have a press conference to attend, and it's almost time to leave. I'll accompany you; this is Karena's request." Christine Yamata's expression was calm. Being Eddie's bodyguard? This boss was more capable than she was; it was hard to say who would protect whom.
"I know. Let me take care of a few things first." Eddie typed on the keyboard, setting up the program. He wouldn't need to handle it anymore; he would just wait for Jessica and Lisa's automatic healing and low-temperature repair.
Inside the special herb room, a young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes was squatting over a flowerpot, cultivating plants. These were unique medicinal herbs excavated from the Arklay Mountains, excellent for both medical treatment and detoxification.
"Are you getting used to staying here?" Eddie asked, leaning against the door.
"It's alright, just a bit of a loss of freedom." Becca stood up, gently stroking her hair, her expression calm, a flicker of joy in her eyes, even she didn't know why.
"That's natural. On a cruise ship, we certainly don't have much freedom. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? I'd like to hear a plant designer's plan." Eddie was noncommittal. Arranging them on a cruise ship was merely for convenient monitoring.
"You need a base. On a cruise ship, it can only be a temporary home. Only land is the most practical. If you have the ability, you could buy an island and build it into your private island; you can do whatever you want. I can also utilize my strengths to cover your island with plants!" Becca suggested.
"Good suggestion. You've reminded me; I really do need to buy an island. I'll give you a task: help me find a suitable island in that sea area." Eddie walked over and patted her shoulder, like a wicked capitalist starting to exploit an employee.
"You really want to buy one? That would cost a huge amount, at least billions to start!" Becca was startled. This wasn't buying a car or a house; it was buying an island!
"It's just money; I can earn it back quickly. You just need to spend it for me." Eddie didn't care about money; he only cared if the immortality project could continue to be completed.
"Alright, my dear boss, I'll help you spend money well. Do you have anything else? I don't have lunch for you here." Becca indicated she was dismissing him. Don't linger here; she was very busy.
In Casinastown, a joint press conference was held. This city was famous for its medicinal plant cultivation, and many pharmaceutical companies had branches here. Building a raw material extraction center here was the fastest and most cost-effective way.
Eddie sat in the helicopter. This time, accompanying him, besides Christine Yamata, were Claire and Rita. He had corresponding arrangements for both women.
Claire was very worried about her brother's safety. After learning that her brother was temporarily safe and it wasn't suitable to make a fuss, she decided to work with Eddie for a while, as she would soon need an internship anyway.
Rita came to see her Senator father and also to speak well of Eddie. Without Eddie's help, she would have died in Raccoon City long ago; how could she still be alive and well? She was very grateful to Eddie for saving her and for saving many colleagues who worked at the Raccoon City branch.
Under Eddie's influence, many people escaped Raccoon City alive. These victims were important witnesses against Umbrella and vanguards against other companies.
"Rita, do you have any news about Marvin and the others? Is the quarantine finished?" Eddie asked from the back seat.
Rita smiled sweetly, "Chief Marvin seems to have been recruited by the military. I heard he's setting up a new department. He's a very good person, and this time it might be a blessing in disguise. Kevin and Leon seem to have been recruited by special departments; they're fine."
"You know a lot." Eddie said, looking at her with a mischievous smile.
"What do you mean? I only know this because I asked my father. You said you'd give me a job, what is it exactly? And why are you so strong?" Rita's beautiful eyes were full of curiosity.
Claire was also very curious. As a woman, her strength wasn't great, but she could still compare to an ordinary man. But Svetlana, Emma, Moira, and the others were exaggerated; she had seen it with her own eyes. A one-ton dumbbell was casually lifted by them for exercise.
"My financial officer, are you interested? Marvin told me you graduated with an accounting major. My company needs a financial officer to manage the finances of my subsidiary companies. This is a very challenging task because my business will develop rapidly soon, and you will be very busy." Eddie extended an olive branch.
