Chapter 70 Unexpected
"So, Adrian and them failed?"
"Yes, sir." The subordinate bowed slightly.
"Adrian was captured, and Rhino, along with his Armor, was crushed into meat paste."
"How were the two of them defeated?" Kingpin asked.
The subordinate then told Kingpin everything that had happened, listening to which Kingpin frowned deeply.
"Rhino doesn't matter, that kind of brute knows nothing. The main thing is Adrian, the other party should already know that I am the mastermind behind this."
Kingpin gently tapped the armrest of the Chair, thinking about the next countermeasures.
"Call Doctor Cindy over here." Kingpin instructed his subordinate.
The subordinate bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.
After about five or six minutes, the Door of the Office was knocked.
"Come in."
"You called for me, boss?" Cindy pushed open the Door and entered.
"How's the preparation going?" Kingpin said abruptly.
However, Cindy understood Kingpin's meaning and replied, "Soon. If you want to bring it forward, boss, it's not impossible, but the success rate won't be too high."
Kingpin frowned and asked again, "What's the success rate?"
"Less than 40%." Cindy shrugged. "This is still thanks to me. If you relied on those people under you before, I estimate it would be less than 10%."
The probability Cindy gave was far lower than Kingpin's psychological expectation, but Cindy was also telling the truth. After she came, the Plan did go much smoother.
"How much more Time is needed?"
"Who knows for sure." Cindy was about to play Tai Chi, but she heard a creak, and saw Kingpin turn around, looking at her with a gloomy Face. She knew that Kingpin's patience was running out.
Cindy had no choice but to admit defeat and change her words, saying, "At the earliest, it will take three to four months."
Cindy actually didn't tell the whole truth. Three to four months could at most increase the probability to 50-60%. These three to four months were actually the Time for her to perfect the Radioactive Spider.
In fact, normally speaking, with the first Experience and the Data provided by Gwen, recreating a Radioactive Spider wouldn't take so long. This also included the Time she needed to do superficial work to deal with Kingpin.
Originally, she wanted to play Tai Chi and buy a little more Time, but obviously Kingpin was not as easy to fool as Norman. Cindy estimated that if she had said the wrong thing just now, although she wouldn't die, it definitely wouldn't be pleasant.
Three to four months? Still too long. Kingpin leaned back in his Office Chair, thinking about countermeasures.
He was already exposed now, and the other party's methods were cruel (referring to the New Rhino Man being crushed into a pancake). He estimated that they would come knocking on his Door soon. Based on the Ability described by his subordinate, it would be difficult for his side to stop him.
However, these were not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that until now they didn't know how many Trump Cards Yang Le still had, and what kind of Strength this was.
Kingpin frowned deeply. In the end, he was too impatient. This time he made a bad move, but it didn't matter, it wasn't a dead end yet, there was still more to play.
Kingpin took out his Mobile phone, found the number, and dialed it.
"I have Business for you to do, now."

In the Secret Base—Bathtub, located on the Seabed of the Atlantic Ocean, Yang Le and Gwen were preparing for the upcoming battle.
Now that the mastermind behind the scenes has been identified, it's Time to take the initiative. New and old grudges have come together, and they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Gwen was checking the Ammunition in the Web-shooter, and at the same Time, she was also observing whether Xue Bao had eaten enough.
Yang Le was also preparing. After today's battle, he decided to invent something that could resist Sound Wave.
Yang Le was still having lingering fears about today's battle. Fortunately, the Omnitrix has a protection function, otherwise, ordinary Petrosapiens would have died long ago.
In fact, Yang Le had already started making some auxiliary props for some Alien Heroes, but after today's Business, he decided to bring forward the order of Diamond Warrior.
Yang Le finished checking his equipment, stretched, glanced at the Time, and found that it was already late at night.
"Ready, Gwen?" Yang Le stood up. "It's Time to go."
"Been ready for a long Time." Reaching out to the table, Xue Bao understood and climbed up Gwen's arm to her Back, disguising itself as a Spider Logo.
Just as the two were about to set off, a pop Song suddenly rang, it was Gwen's Phone Ringtone.
"Harry?" Gwen took out her Mobile phone and saw the incoming call reminder on it.
"Hello, Harry? What's wrong?" Gwen answered the Phone, her voice hoarse, pretending to have just woken up.
In fact, Gwen was a little flustered, after all, she had just beaten up Harry's dad and kidnapped him, although she sent him back, she was still a little guilty.
"Hey Gwen! Don't sleep! Big News, big News!" Harry's Sound sounded very excited.
"Big News? If there's big News, go to the Daily Bugle, why are you looking for me?" Seeing that Harry wasn't here to question her, Gwen pretended to be angry and wanted to hang up the Phone.
"I'm going to sleep, bye!"
Harry quickly said, "Don't, let me finish speaking, this matter is also related to you."
"Me? What Business is related to me?" Gwen frowned.
"It's related to your dad." Harry's tone carried a hint of admiration.
"Your dad just caught Kingpin, didn't you know?"
Gwen was stunned in place, and it took a long Time before she uttered a sentence.
"Huh?"

Opposite the New York Police Department, Gwen, who had changed into her Battle Suit, and Yang Le, who had transformed into Big Chill, were standing on the Rooftop, observing everything happening below.
The New York Police Department ushered in its most lively day since its construction. Reporters, Gang, onlookers, surrounded the Police Department tightly.
They were all here for one person, and that person was the original Underworld Emperor of New York, now a prisoner—Kingpin. At this Time, he was sitting in a Police car, on his way to the Police Department.
"He's here! He's here!"
Someone shouted, and people immediately noticed the prisoner transport vehicle. Normally, it should be escorted by a Police car, but Kingpin's size was unusual, and ordinary Police Officers couldn't contain him, so they had to urgently dispatch a prisoner transport vehicle.
The Crowd immediately surged towards the prisoner transport vehicle, but they were blocked by the Police Officers who were already prepared with Guns outside the Police Line.
The prisoner transport vehicle stopped, and Kingpin got out of the car under the guard of heavily armed Police Officers.
"Mister Kingpin, is your crime a fact? Is it the Police framing you!"
"Mister Kingpin, can you confess your criminal experience?"
"Mister Kingpin! Mister Kingpin!"
Kingpin ignored those reporters who risked their lives for News, and was escorted into the Police Department by the Police Officers. Those Police Officers didn't seem to be escorting him.
"It's like bodyguards." Gwen said in disbelief when she saw this Scene.
