Without any preparation, without any hesitation.
The embarrassed and humiliated eldest son of Rand Corporation supported himself with his hands on the ground, kneeling on his knees.
He immediately glared angrily at the Female Winter Soldier who hadn't followed him in.
Are you being polite?
"Bang!"
The Female Winter Soldier looked at Ward Meachum expressionlessly and closed the door.
Ward Meachum, withdrawing his gaze, grimaced and looked down at the floor, not intending to look up at all.
"Why are you looking down?"
Samuel looked with interest at the young man kneeling there motionless with his head down.
Ward Meachum, Harold Meachum's son, the eldest son of Rand Corporation!
Of course, you have to add 'pseudo' in front, after all, Iron Fist Danny Rand is the real eldest son of Rand Corporation.
Originally, I wanted to use my super hearing to pay attention to the effect of Silver Sable and the Wild Pack spreading the news, and listen to what those who received the news would say.
As a result, I just happened to hear this kid reveal his identity to the Big Beard Winter Soldier and want to talk to someone who can make decisions.
Then let's talk!
Ward Meachum still didn't look up, as if there was a beautiful woman dancing on the floor in front of him.
"My name is Ward Meachum, and my Father is the chairman of Rand Corporation, Harold Meachum. As long as you can guarantee the safety of everyone on the ship and let us leave safely afterward, I can represent my Father and fulfill any request you have."
His voice trembled slightly, showing his nervousness, but what he said was very articulate.
"Why should I believe that you can make decisions for your Father? The chairman of Rand Corporation is your Father, not you!"
"It will be soon."
Ward Meachum took a deep breath and said calmly, "My Father has cancer, and the situation is not optimistic. I'm afraid... his days are numbered."
"I am his only son, and the company will definitely be handed over to me, so no matter the cost, he will save me."
"I am also willing to pay any price to save my life."
This kid is a ruthless and unfeeling capitalist in Iron Fist's solo series.
He hasn't taken over Rand Corporation yet, and there are already signs of him becoming a ruthless character.
No wonder later he not only used every means to deal with Danny Rand who returned from K'un-Lun.
Moreover, because he was dissatisfied with his Father manipulating him and the company from behind the scenes, he directly killed his Father.
"What do you think of this ship?" Samuel asked with a smile.
Ward Meachum reacted quickly: "It's yours."
"Not enough."
"I can give you another ship, no, five!" Ward Meachum said hurriedly.
"Ten ships."
"Okay."
Ward Meachum didn't hesitate: "I need to contact my Father. Don't worry, I won't play any tricks. You can designate the reception location. When the ships arrive, you can let me go."
"What if you cause me trouble afterward?" Samuel asked again.
Ward Meachum shook his head hurriedly: "I didn't see your face, and I don't know who you are. As long as you can leave at that time, you will definitely find a way to erase the traces afterward."
No wonder this kid came in with his head down, he's very cunning.
Samuel pretended to be troubled: "My people, you've seen what they look like."
Ward Meachum seemed to have already thought of the answer and said directly: "If they are trustworthy, they won't betray you. If they are not trustworthy—"
"How?"
"You have money, and with money, you can have everything, including stronger and more obedient subordinates."
Good heavens, this is instigating me to kill people to silence them.
Samuel hesitated for a moment, pretending to consider, and after a long time, slowly said, "There are too many people on the ship. When there are too many people, there will be trouble."
"You—what do you mean?" Ward Meachum's body stiffened, and he vaguely guessed.
"Except for you, everyone else must die!"
"No, there's no need for that, right? They are just ordinary employees of Rand Corporation, and they won't affect you at all. Besides, if people die, things will become more troublesome, won't they?"
Ward Meachum trembled, trying to persuade the other party to change his mind.
"They die, you live! You live, they die!"
"You choose."
How do you choose? No matter how you choose, it's the same!
Ward Meachum gritted his teeth, trying to make himself appear calmer.
"Okay, but I have one condition. My girlfriend is also on the ship, and she cannot die!"
"I can guarantee that she knows nothing and won't say anything she shouldn't."
Girlfriend?
Would someone as selfish and ruthless as Ward Meachum care about a mere girlfriend?
Besides, what kind of place is this?
Madripoor!
The Hand uses Rand Corporation's ships to do business. It's already surprising enough that Ward Meachum would appear on the ship, how could he possibly bring his girlfriend along?
So—
This 'girlfriend' should be related to Rand Corporation or The Hand, and be very important to him.
People from The Hand can be excluded. Even if Harold Meachum told him some truth, he wouldn't care about the lives of The Hand's people.
On the contrary, let alone saving them, he should wish they were dead.
Then, among the people important to someone as selfish and ruthless as him in Rand Corporation, there is only one.
