Kapitel 162: Chapter: 162
In fact, the moment Mark saw the algorithm, he was already multitasking. On one hand, he continued to communicate with Maya Hansen, while on the other hand, he focused most of his attention on the virtual laboratory and acceleration functions, using nanobots to begin the calculation and refinement of the Extremis Regenerative Algorithm.
When Mark successfully deduced the perfect algorithm, and all his attention returned to the outside world, only 20 seconds had passed in reality.
Although he had successfully improved the algorithm, Mark wouldn't simply hand over the final results based on a few words from the other party.
Mark has always believed in the rules of business, where all exchanges must be based on voluntary transactions, and, more importantly, both parties should benefit from the deal for it to be considered a good business.
Ignoring their hostilities and calculations against each other, just talking about the value of their interests, the bargaining power between the two sides was unequal.
So, in the face of Maya Hansen's naive and childish idea, Mark responded with a faint smile, containing a sense of disdain that seemed to strike at Maya Hansen's self-esteem like a knife.
"Hey, Mark, it's not acceptable to treat a lady like this. It's not what a gentleman would do," Kilian interjected, walking over from the side and shaking his head at Mark.
"We meet again, Mark. I was too eager, waiting for your confirmation to visit my laboratory. Since I didn't hear from you, I directly sent someone to bring you here."
"I see you still hold a grudge against my old man for standing you up in Switzerland. They say love can run deep, and you seem to have idolized him a lot back then," Mark replied, not allowing Kilian to feel too triumphant. As the saying goes, when a petty person succeeds, they become arrogant, especially someone like Kilian, who can turn into a human bomb at any time. He couldn't let him become too arrogant.
Only when Kilian was angry would he reveal more flaws, so to provoke him, Mark made a piercing remark right from the start.
After hearing Mark's words, Kilian's temples immediately bulged with veins, but his years of practicing self-control allowed him to barely keep himself in check.
"So, you already know, Mark. It seems Slattery is really unreliable. I need to silence him as soon as possible and find a new puppet.
"But what does it matter even if you know so much? Now that you're in my hands, I will make you experience a pain you've never experienced in your life. After everything is over, you will become my new toy, my new puppet," Kilian confidently spoke.
Due to the flaws in the Extremis Regenerative Algorithm, individuals who underwent the Extremis transformation would have difficulty maintaining stable bodily functions once they stopped taking the stable medication provided by Kilian.
Generally, if they didn't take the medication for a month, the individual who completed the Extremis transformation would potentially become a devastating human bomb due to the uncontrollable nature of their body's repair mechanism.
The absolute control over this medication became the key to Kilian's control over so many people under his command.
Regarding Mark, Kilian believed that as long as he forcibly underwent the Extremis transformation, there would be no other choice for him but to obey his commands in order to stay alive.
Even if Mark resisted to the death, holding this trump card would still be advantageous, whether it was threatening Tony Stark or seizing the achievements and benefits of Mark's research center.
Furthermore, Mark was brought here during the handover with the military, and the military had an undeniable responsibility for Mark's predicament. At that time, Kilian could also use Mark as a bargaining chip to retrieve Mandarin from their hands.
"Sevin, take him downstairs for the Extremis transformation. We have a new partner to add among us, and I hope Mark, you can withstand our hospitality!"
"Wait! Let him go!" Just as Mark was about to be taken into the transformation room by Sevin, Maya Hansen, who had remained silent, spoke up.
"Maya?" Kilian turned around, looking at her in confusion.
"I said, let him go!" But Maya didn't intend to explain to him. Instead, she took out a vial of potent poison from her body and aimed it at her own carotid artery.
"What are you doing?" Kilian continued to ask.
"1200 milliliters. If I inject half of it, I'm as good as dead. If I die, what will you and your soldiers do? If you experience overheating, what will you do?
I need him to help me perfect the Extremis Regenerative Algorithm. I know he can do it; I can see it in his eyes!"
Maya's obsession with this research had reached a level of madness. In order to see the perfect results of the experiment, she was willing to use her own life to threaten Kilian.
"Aren't you testing my patience?" Kilian shook his head expressionlessly. As soon as he finished speaking, bang! He shot and killed Maya Hansen, who was attempting to threaten him, right in front of Mark.
"You are truly an innocent girl. How could I not have taken hold of something so important in advance? Sevin, take him down and start the Extremis transformation immediately.
Also, have someone come in and clean up this place later."
"Yes, boss!" Sevin obediently responded.
Maya Hansen lay in a pool of blood, despairingly watching as Mark was taken into the transformation room, and then her eyes went dark as she fell unconscious.
No one noticed that at this moment, in the air, countless undetectable nanobots took advantage of the flow of air to move onto Maya Hansen's wound.
