Marvel: Awakening the Universe

Page 22

Hawke thought to himself.

Max, who was standing by, heard this and said hurriedly, "Boss, what does the power outage have to do with us? Our biomass electricity has always been used to supply the building's daily electricity needs. For example, the electricity used for the equipment in each department is not..."

The supervisor covered his forehead and said, "Alright, this isn't a discussion, this is a decision. You go out first, and Hawke stays."

Max froze in place, then looked at Hawk beside him.

Hawke shrugged.

"It's okay, Max."

"……All right."

Max heard this and looked at the supervisor, as if he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, lowered his head, and walked out.

After Max left the office, the supervisor sighed again and looked at Hawke: "I'm sorry, I can do everything I can to keep Max, but I can't keep you. You're very good, Hawke. If you have any requests, you can raise them and I will do my best to meet your needs."

Hawke smiled and said, "It's okay. Just help me explain it to Mrs. Snow."

His purpose of coming to Osborn Bio-Industries was to find Gamanion. Now that Gamanion has been found, his purpose of coming here has been achieved.

In that case, there is no point in staying in Osborne Bioindustries.

But what he had thought about before was taking a leave, not resigning.

After all, this summer job was found for him by Mrs. Snow through a favor. Mrs. Snow was a good person and had always taken good care of him, so he didn't want to let Mrs. Snow's kindness go to waste.

it's good now.

He doesn't even need to take a day off.

The supervisor heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Hawke's request. He nodded and said, "That's for sure. In fact, I just finished talking to Selina. After all, I know everything about this matter. You and that person..."

Hawke reminded the supervisor, who was frowning.

"Max."

"Yes, Max."

The supervisor's brows relaxed, and he sighed, "This isn't your or Max's fault. I know that, but... there's nothing I can do."

Hawke also shook his head and smiled.

In fact, as Max said, the electricity from the biopower department is mainly used to supply the daily electricity consumption of the building.

After all, how much electricity can those electric eels generate in a day?

Not to mention so many laboratories and so many large and power-consuming equipment.

But some people are stupid.

To put it bluntly, the cause of this incident was that a senior executive of Osborne felt that the burden of the bio-power department could be greater, and this resulted in something being caused.

As a result, now that something has happened, the senior executive is unwilling to take responsibility.

Ok.

It's bad, but it fits the image.

It's that simple.

Hawke didn't stay in the supervisor's office for long. He took his $800 salary for the week, patted his butt and walked out of the Osborn Bio-Industrial Building behind him.

"Hawk, wait!"

Just as Hawke was about to cross the street to take the subway back, Gwen chased him out of the building.

Hawke turned around and looked at Gwen who had chased after him.

"Mrs. Snow called you?"

"Ah."

Gwen stopped, put her hands on her knees, and took a few breaths.

She had just received a call from Mrs. Snow and rushed down, but the people from the bio-power department told her that Hawke had left.

But it's okay.

After Gwen calmed her breathing, she looked at Hawke's facial expression and said, "Are you... okay?"

Hawke shrugged. "Pretty good."

He did not let Mrs. Snow down, and successfully withdrew from Osborn Bioindustry and went to Quantico.

And I got a week's salary for nothing.

Delicious.

Hawke thought to himself, looking at Gwen who looked worried, and grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. My supervisor said that I can still come here to work during the winter vacation."

The supervisor did say that.

But he probably wouldn't come, but he didn't refuse either.

What if?

Don't use up all your strength, don't say all you want, leave some room for others so that you can meet again in the future.

Hawke understood this point.

Gwen heard this and looked at Hawke's expression, which didn't look fake. After confirming that Hawke was really okay, she nodded and asked, "So what are your plans next? After all, there's still more than a month before school starts."

"Stay home and read some books. You know, there's only a little over a month left, and it's going to be hard to find a suitable summer job."

Hawke shrugged and said so, then said: "Okay, you can go back soon, I'm really fine."

Gwen nodded when she heard this: "Okay, then if you have time, let's go to the library to read together."

Hawke was slightly stunned.

Gwen once again didn't give Hawke a chance to speak. It seemed that after forcing Hawke's phone into her hand, she had found the right way to talk to Hawke. After saying this, she turned around, put her hands in her pockets, and walked back into Osborn Bioindustries.

Hawke looked at Gwen, who was smiling and waving at him in front of the building, and couldn't help but frown.

next second.

He turned and left.

Business matters!

Quantico!

I'm here.

Let go of my Garmanion!!

……

Chapter 27 Hawke, who was thinking of robbing, was robbed

hum!

Half past two in the afternoon.

The flight from New York landed smoothly at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C.

After half an hour.

Hawke, traveling light, walked out of the airport and came to a taxi. He opened the back door and got in. He told the young black man who turned his head to look at him from the driver's seat that he was staying at a motel in Quantico.

The young black driver nodded, started the mileage, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from the airport.

Although the Marine Corps base and the FBI academy are both in Quantico, it doesn't mean that ordinary people can't get there.

Ordinary people simply cannot freely enter areas under military control.

However, the town of Quantico itself, which is the outskirts of the base, is still open.

Any self-disciplined person has extraordinary motivation, let alone a man like Hawk who insists on punching 10,000 times a day for a thousand consecutive days.

Hawke's ability to act is also unprecedented.

He had just come out of the Osborne Bioindustry Building in the morning, and at noon he rushed to the airport to buy a ticket for the fastest flight to Washington.

Hawke didn't even go home to get himself a few changes of clothes.

Fortunately, he had spent the entire night looking at the satellite map of Quantico and had a rough idea of what he would need to do if he wanted to go to Quantico to retrieve his Gammanion.

Otherwise, Hawke, who had just got off the plane, would probably be like a headless fly, not knowing which way to go.

"Plan A."

"If you can go in quietly, go in quietly."

"But if we're discovered, we'll just switch to plan B."

"Quick victory!"

Hawke, sitting in the back seat of the taxi, thought silently in his heart again, then regained his composure and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

then……

Hawke calmly glanced up at the young man Xiao Hei who was driving in front, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, which he had just turned off and forgot to restart after getting on the plane.

The phone turned on quickly.

Ding Dong, ding Dong, the text message sound was received.

Hawke raised his eyebrows and was about to unlock the car to see what spam messages the operator had sent this time when a deep voice rang out in the car, accompanied by a pitch-black gun muzzle pointed at him from the front.

"Don't move, give me the phone."

"..."

Hawke fell silent.

who I am.

I'm there.

What should I do?

No.

I was going to Quantico to rob, but how come I was robbed just after landing and before I even reached Quantico?

Hey!

It's still the Special Administrative Region after all. Is the security there worse than in New York City?

For an instant.

Hawke's impression of Washington, D.C., reached a freezing point.

Xiao Hei, who was driving, looked through the rearview mirror at Hawke, who seemed to be stunned in the back seat, and said in a deep voice, waving the black muzzle of the gun: "Don't move, give me the phone."

Hawke came back to his senses.

"Do you want me to stay still, or do you want me to give you my phone?"

"..."

Xiao Hei was silent for a while after hearing this.

next second.

He seemed to be broken.

"Fuck you, stop talking nonsense and put your phone away..."

"Jingle Bell!"

Just when Xiao Hei broke down and spoke, the incoming call rang from Hawk's phone.

Gwen's.

Hawke blinked at the only number left in his phone's address book.

He only has one number saved in this phone.
