Chapter 25: Chapter 25
Eddie keeps trying to perfect his Serum; everything is going well and smoother than usual, thanks to Annette Birkin's help!
There's no denying that Annette is a very skilled serologist! Every time Eddie ran into an obstacle, Annette would develop ideas that 'maybe' would help Eddie overcome his problem.
And sure enough, almost all of Annette's suggestions worked, which made Eddie even happier. Eddie also started planning to add Yamata to join his serum project; with the help of expert biologists like Yamata, developing a serum will be even easier!
Of course, he had to wait for her training on Rockfort Island to finish first.
So far there is only one serious problem that needs to be solved, you know, the T-Serum is made with a flower called 'Stairway of the Sun'. This flower is very poisonous; if people can withstand the poison from this flower, they will gain power! And their lifespan will increase; at least they can live for more than two hundred years after consuming this flower. Even then, if they could withstand the poison, of course...
The only side effect that made Eddie frown a bit was that the user would be completely impotent and unable to reproduce when this flower was consumed.
In short, men would become eunuchs, and women would not bear a child.
This side effect, of course, wouldn't make someone like Spencer blink, a son or daughter? Impotent? No problem, he would be satisfied if his lifespan was extended; for such a matter, he didn't really care about it.
But this is very different with Eddie; Eddie doesn't want to be eunuchs! He still loves his little brother, plus he wants to have children too, so it's a big no-no for that side effect.
***
Eddie could not accept the side effects, long life but impotent? He didn't want to be a cripple; this problem, of course, had to be solved immediately.
At the same time, in a secret conference room, there was a young woman dressed in red, the girl had short hair and looked very beautiful. She sat looking at the projection of the video call.
The projection showed the figure of a stout businessman, a thin man who looked to be in his thirties, and an old man.
"Agent Ada, our alliance has a task for you to do." The businessman said curtly, his voice echoing in the darkroom where the conference was being held.
The other two were silent while listening carefully.
This cheongsam-clad woman is, of course, a very familiar figure to Resident Evil series fans! That woman is none other than Ada Wong!
"What kind of tasks?" Ada asked.
"We assigned you to go to Raccoon City to retrieve the G-Serum developed by William Birkin; we will send you the target location."
"You must know the consequences if you fail this mission, understandable?"
The fat businessman said.
"The Arklay mountain area is full of biochemical monsters; I'm afraid I can't go there. As for the G-Serum you want, if the price is right, I will accept your offer." Ada Wong did not immediately agree with his client's request; she needed to consider this first; if the price was worth it, of course, she would accept it. But otherwise, she could only refuse this request.
"You have no choice here, agent Ada. You better do what we tell you. Otherwise, we will release your information and make you an international enemy. So, what do you think?"
The fat businessman said with a cold expression.
"Sounds hard, but I'll take it. What about the deadline?" Ada's brows furrowed; this was the second time she had received a mission related to biological weapons. She prefers to deal with an international criminal or drug dealer rather than biological weapons; she doesn't want to deal with non-human things...
"You can start now; the deadline is four months." The man answered curtly.
"Alright, my commission will be double what it used to be." Ada Wong nodded, then suggested her idea.
"No need, we'll pay you five times as much! Make sure not to thwart this mission."
"Deal!"
Ada Wong immediately cut ties.
On the other hand, the man who had previously participated in the conference remained silent; a while later, an assistant came and called out to him.
"Lord Simmons, the family gathering is about to begin."
"I see... Then you can go and wait for me downstairs." Simmons nodded in understanding.
***
After the call with her client ended, Ada immediately took out a map of Raccoon city; on the map, there was a red dot that she had marked. That red dot was none other than where the Umbrella research institute was. Including Spencer's hospital.
"Too bad John is dead. Otherwise, I would have used him again. Should I find someone else who can help me? Who is that?" Ada Wong began to think, trying to find a suitable candidate. Her eyes remained fixed on the map, after thinking for a while, she finally found the candidate she was looking for.
The decision had been made, Ada's lips began to curl.
"Eddie Cai? Interesting." Ada mumbled lightly; it seems that there is another man she can take advantage of besides John Clemens.
