The price was being tormented and used as research material by the family's research team, with no regard for his life or death. The so-called escape from The Pentagon was merely a false report by Simmons.
No matter how capable Wesker was, it would be impossible for him to bring Spencer out from under the building; that was the Federation administrative center, guarded with extreme strictness.
Sergei saluted Spencer and said, "Welcome back, Mr. Spencer."
"You've done very well, you haven't disappointed me. Very good, very good." Spencer nodded in satisfaction.
"Master!" An old gentleman, frail but impeccably groomed, stood behind Sergei. It was the butler, Patrick.
"Go get the things, Wesker, all your things are here. Take these things and disappear. Tell that traitor Brandon for me, I will personally settle accounts with him!" Spencer said, pointing to a helicopter in front of him.
Wesker, wearing sunglasses, nodded silently, "If I meet him, I'll tell him."
Brandon was the manager of the Africa Branch research division and also Dr. Marcus's student.
The Africa Branch is one of the most important branches, containing the only remaining Stairway to the Sun, and the Progenitor Virus within it is the source of all evil.
Perhaps the devouring 'Zha Jiang Mian Virus', ahem, the Uroboros Virus prototype encountered in the Amazon Rainforest, was probably concocted by Brandon's team.
As for why he betrayed Spencer, it's not surprising. Umbrella's tradition is betrayal; if you don't double-cross at least once, you'd be too embarrassed to tell others you came from Umbrella.
Chapter 478: Warren's Head is Green
No one knew why, it was like seeing a ghost, as if they had arrived in the Bermuda Triangle. If they hadn't seen the ship drift with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
None of this affected the holding of the Bioweapon Terrorism Countermeasure Conference, and representatives from various regions began arriving in this city that represented advanced technology.
Excella received an invitation and would also attend. As the most dazzling businesswoman, every gesture she made captivated countless men.
Beautiful women are always owned by the strong, while those without ability simply look at computers and find movies.
General Morgan did not use veterans like Rachel and Sheila this time, but instead dispatched his confidant Neil to handle the matter.
He planned to use bioweapon terrorist attacks to wipe out all the regional representatives who opposed him, and then display this earthquake-level disaster to the world. This would further expand his power, and even Simmons was unaware of General Morgan's insane plan.
Simmons was tracking Spencer's whereabouts; Spencer had taken some data on the Immortality Virus. No member could refuse something that could make an old man, who could only use a wheelchair, stand up again.
Seeing the hope of immortality, no one would give up.
Everything was in turmoil; ever since the virus appeared, research had diverged into two different paths: one was to use the virus to create more powerful bioweapons.
The other direction was to use the virus for human enhancement, greatly increasing human lifespan.
On Goddess Island, Alexia was also attempting her most confident fear test. This time, she also included her most terrifying nightmares: loneliness and being exploited. She wanted to break her curse and take the bravest step.
Being intellectually suppressed by Eddie was something the proud queen could not tolerate. She was a genius, a super genius who could crush other geniuses.
Even though Eddie was her husband and the father of her children, Alexia still wanted to return to how things were before, maintaining her superior intellect so she could find some sense of presence around Eddie and avoid being forgotten.
In the other laboratory, Annette was not in a hurry. She and Christine were researching cancer cells, attempting to unravel the secret of their infinite division.
This was a very difficult project, even harder than deciphering the secret of the Turritopsis Dohrnii.
The Fear Virus had a small strengthening effect, but greatly enhanced the brain. Eddie's observation report concluded that he was in a state of age freezing, where cells would continuously undergo birth, maturation, prime, and aging, and then repeat the process.
This process would last for a very long time, and after a period, the cells would also die. However, this process would be even slower than for Alexia and others who had already been enhanced to the second stage, with a conservative lifespan reaching two thousand years!
Compared to the Turritopsis Dohrnii, this was nothing. Jellyfish are immortal, living for thousands or tens of thousands of years is a casual matter for them.
Even though two thousand years wasn't very long, it still shocked Alexia. Carbon-based life finds it difficult to achieve eternal life, but if the right method is found, it might not be impossible.
Immortality, plus age freezing. These two are irresistible temptations for women. Imagine a thousand years passing, and you are still stunningly beautiful, like an eighteen-year-old girl. Isn't that exciting?
With five days left until the meeting, Eddie traveled from Goddess Island to Terragrigia, where he was received by the highest-ranking official, Warren Mike.
"Hi, Eddie, long time no see. Your company isn't far from here, why don't you come over for a visit?" Mayor Warren greeted him heartily.
"Because I'm also here to find Naveli. And honestly, she's quite something; when she's dressed up, you can't tell her age at all. Haha, who would have thought a thirty-eight-year-old woman could look like she's twenty-eight when she's dressed up?" Eddie chuckled mischievously.
This made Mayor Warren's expression change. Is this ever going to end? Discussing his wife in front of him, isn't that a bit too much?
Naveli was indeed Warren's wife; they had registered their marriage three years ago, but were also forced to separate three years ago. How childish certainly wasn't Warren's, so it's no wonder Warren's expression was displeased.
"Haha, you're right, if you like her, go find her often. Many political representatives will be coming this time, and I will showcase the unique features of the city. This will bring substantial investment, so if you want to invest, you should seize the opportunity." Mayor Warren quickly forgot his unhappiness.
As long as there's money, women are simply not worth mentioning. Performance is what matters most.
Eddie didn't respond, "A sea city is fine for living, but it's a big mistake to build factories there. If you develop tourism, this place might become the most popular tourist attraction in the world."
This made Warren's eyes light up, "That's right, why didn't I think of that!"
"You're so focused on attracting investment, you certainly wouldn't think of it. But to develop tourism, attracting investment is also necessary, preferably from powerful corporate groups. Oh, by the way, I heard your son also works here?" Eddie asked, looking at the city model in the center.
Warren nodded, "Yes, he's reached the internship stage, and I'm having him learn from me. Eddie, for Katherine's sake, could you please look after him? He's my only son."
Your son isn't my son, so why should I care? Naveli might be a little sad if he died, but what does it matter? Just have another one, and Eddie can certainly help with that.
Of course, these words couldn't be said out loud; it would have a very bad impact.
"If I have the chance, I'll try to help. Alright, that's it. I haven't really explored much here, so I'll just walk around. You go entertain your guests." Eddie waved his hand, showing no respect whatsoever.
The more he did so, the more Warren respected him. He dared not show any dissatisfaction. Katherine was just his adopted daughter, a living target used to avoid attacks from political rivals. Her death wouldn't hurt him, as she wasn't his biological child.
It was precisely this point that made Katherine somewhat disgusted with him. Her previous help was out of gratitude for being raised, otherwise, if she had a more malicious heart, Warren would have been in big trouble.
Chapter 479: Elegant and Virtuous, Excella
In the Mediterranean Sea, there were three huge cruise ships belonging to a shipping company. The owner of the company was actually a high-ranking member of the Greyhound Organization, who intensely hated urban development; those who destroyed the environment must die!
All three cruise ships were fully loaded with cargo and tourists, but these tourists were disguised members of the Greyhound Organization. There were also some Umbrella members, sent by Spencer.
There might have been some tourists on the cruise ships, but in the bottom hold of the ships, there were huge laboratories. A long time ago, the Greyhound Organization had been developing viruses there, and this was their moment of triumph.
With General Morgan secretly coordinating defense, these three cruise ships easily entered the waters near Terragrigia.
Today was the start of the symposium, held in a building over two hundred meters tall. Representatives from various regions had gathered here for the five-day meeting.
During these five days, they would have meetings in the daytime and find entertainment at night. Public-funded travel, it couldn't be more enjoyable, just be careful when looking for fun, don't get scammed.
In the luxurious conference room, Eddie sat in his seat, using Excella and Jessica. Smoking a cigarette and crossing his legs, he looked exactly like a nouveau riche.
Excella's usual work wasn't very busy. She was very good at managing talent, putting the right people in the right positions, and didn't need to worry about subsequent matters, just checking the results.
The meeting began, and General Morgan was somewhat high-spirited, wearing a suit, leather shoes, and, ahem, no shorts, I misspoke, just a suit.
