Chapter 5:
Raccoon City, inside a luxurious mansion. Sitting an old man in a wheelchair, a tube is plugged in; the line is the old man's tool to get nutrition for his body. That old man was none other than Spencer!
"You said Marcus is still alive? If that's true, then why did you come here and talk to me?" Spencer's brows slightly raised, he said to the young man in front of him in a playful tone.
On the other hand, the young man remained calm, Eddie replied confidently. "I suspect that 'Something' that has been infected by the T-Serum has acquired Marcus' memory or appearance. So most likely, this Marcus is not the real Marcus!"
"In short, this Marcus only lookalike. I don't know the reason why this 'Something' is trying to disguise itself as Uncle Marcus."
Eddie's hands clenched slightly.
"This is truly unforgivable! Even after Uncle Marcus's death, they are still trying to toy with him!"
"Uncle Spencer, you want to help me to get rid of that thing, right? Uncle Marcus said that you and he were close friends. Are you willing to help me?"
Eddie said, trying to persuade Spencer. He started playing the emotional card he had planned long ago.
On the other hand, Spencer laughed inwardly. Apparently, this young man who spoke to him did not know that Marcus' death was closely related to him.
From Alex's reports, this young man is the son of a wealthy man; he has an arrogant and spoiled nature, his EQ is also not that high. But when it comes to IQ, it can be confirmed that this young man has an above-average IQ, which is very useful for his current condition! Spencer wanted this young man on a project he was working on, the Longevity Serum research project!"Of course, I will help you, just tell me what do you want, I will facilitate it."
Spencer answered with a sly smile.
"I want you, uncle, to help me get a special Military Team. Uncle didn't think that I would hit that fake Uncle Marcus with my own strength, right?"
"I'm afraid that something will be complicated to kill."
Eddie shook his head. He continues: "By the way, can Uncle Spencer give me five million dollars?"
Eddie couldn't pass up this opportunity; while he was dealing with the richest man in Raccoon City, he wanted to ask for some pocket money!
"Five million dollars? What do you want to do with that kind of money?"
Make no mistake, in Spencer's eyes, five million dollars is nothing. Even if the young man asked for ten, he would not blink. It was just that he wanted to hear a satisfactory excuse from the young man, a reason why he wanted those million dollars.
"You know, I don't like the tactical Team that already exists in Raccoon city (S.T.A.R.S.), so I'm planning to recruit my own special Team! That's why I need some money."
Eddie expressed his wish; he wasn't lying about recruiting a special tactical team.
Spencer, who heard this, could only blink bored.
"Alright, since you want it so much, then I will give you the privilege."
"You can form a team of six. As for how you recruit the Team, I don't want to bother. I'll give you thirty million dollars right away!"
Spencer nodded his head; he gave the young man a privilege that could be said to be extraordinary!
"I also heard that you are quite talented in the field of serology, very well, from now on. I will place you in Raccoon City's underground research institute. You will serve under William Birkin, help him improve the Serum he is currently working on."
Eddie, who heard Spencer's statement, immediately pointed to himself. "You're asking me to help someone else? Uncle, are you joking? I don't even know how to treat a cold, let alone study Serums."
Eddie answered with a made-up confused expression.
"Oh... Is that so? As far as I know, you are quite competent. Do you want to refuse? Don't you want to avenge your uncle, Marcus?" Spencer said with a chuckle.
"Not really, it's just that I'm a little surprised; you and Uncle Marcus are close friends, right? Why don't you try to help Uncle Marcus earlier?"
The young man's humorous remark immediately made Spencer burst out laughing. It's easy to talk to a young man like this one.
"Eddie, you're still young. The adult world is complicated, you know; the death of your uncle involved a lot of people."
"Even I, myself, can't get rid of them all with a wave of my hand, so I need to rely on you."
Eddie nodded in understanding. He answered. "Well, if uncle says so, then fine. I accept it then!"
"That's good. Sergei, hurry up and take care of this little nephew of mine. Put him under William Birkin." Spencer immediately instructed a strong-looking man who had been guarding behind him.
"Ok, boss!" The muscular man had a knife cut scar on his right eye. He was wearing old school military clothes, his hair was white, and his eyes looked very stern. At first glance, the man seems like a mighty bull!
The man was none other than Sergei Vladimir, a top commander working under Umbrella.
The name alone looks majestic and powerful, you know... Tsar Russia.
***
The day passed, the next day.
At Eddie's private villa, a guest arrived; the guest had long blonde hair, a beautiful face, and stern eyes. Currently, the guest is waiting on the terrace of the villa.
It seemed that the guest had received an invitation from Umbrella. That person had come here to apply for the job of none other than Eddie's personal Team. (Team of six people)
Eddie had just come out of Alex's room as the person waited outside. As for why he came out of Alex's room, you know it best... Sometimes, the big sister needs to be calmed down...
"Master, someone has come to apply for the triangle team."
Steward said respectfully to the young man in front of him, trying to let him know that a guest had arrived.
This old man had worked for the Alex Wesker family for decades; there was no question when it came to loyalty.
Since his master (Alex Wesker) is in a relationship with this man, his service automatically applies to Eddie too.
"Really? Then let them in."
Eddie nodded; he couldn't wait to see who came to apply. Now he desperately wanted to increase his defence!
Moments later, Eddie saw a mature woman step in; her expression was cold, like a trained elite soldier.
"Hello, I'm Eddie Cai, the Triangle Team Captain. Just call me Eddie; please allow me to see your profile first."
Eddie introduced himself with a smile. The two of them immediately shook hands.
"Besides, please introduce yourself briefly."
"Oh, and also. This recruitment is not for fun, what you will face is not common. In short, you will face a Monster or something like that."
Eddie explained in a serious tone.
"Roger! My name is Karen LesProux; I used to work in the French Special Forces team. I have experience in many special operations; the rest you can see on my profile."
"If you choose me, I can guarantee you that you won't regret your choice, never! Your safety will be one hundred percent guaranteed!"
Karen said in a firm tone; there was no element of deceit in her words.
On the other hand, Eddie continued to flip through Karen's information sheet, after which he nodded in satisfaction.
"Code-named LUPO, this year you are thirty-eight years old, for a person your age, your physique and appearance are very well maintained."
Eddie said curtly.
"Thank you!" Karen replied though she looked a little uncomfortable. She didn't like other people telling her how old she was as a woman.
"Relax, it's just a simple compliment. By the way, there is a criminal case recorded on your profile. Hmm… You killed your own husband?"
Eddie's eyes blinked a few times; he read the information while narrowing his eyes.
"It's true, at that time, my ex-husband was always doing domestic violence. I tried to hold on, but he was getting worse; he threatened my daughter's life. So I had no other choice; I had to kill him."
Karen explained without blinking. Her compassion for her ex-husband is forever gone.
