Chapter 447 Super Soldier Beyond Hyperion
After confirming that Howard had really left, Bruce swept the extra information on the desk to one side and revealed the truly valuable things he had hidden inside. Looking at the thick bound volume, Bruce showed a gentle smile.
"It's not your time to appear yet," Bruce said softly, not noticing a slender figure quietly approaching from behind.
"Sentinel... What is this thing?"
The familiar sound rang in his ear. The heavenly voice that he never used to tire of now sounded like a demon from Hell coming to claim his life in Bruce's unprepared ears.
"Whoa!" Bruce yelled, and the bound volume in his hand slipped and fell directly to the ground. He lunged forward, knocking over the table in front of him. The information on it flew up, slowly falling like snowflakes, gradually scattering all over the ground, and the cold coffee also spilled on it.
"Oh my god! Are you alright, Bruce?" Betty didn't expect her boyfriend to react like this and hurriedly ran over to pull Bruce up from the overturned table.
"My back!" Bruce supported his back that hit the table and stood up, grimacing with Betty's help. Seeing the brown coffee stains on the white paper, he ignored the pain in his back and frantically searched through the information.
Seeing Bruce's panicked face, Betty knew she had caused trouble, and very likely big trouble. She hurriedly ran to Bruce's side to help him.
Thanks to General Ross's education, Betty could handle things calmly when she encountered them. She stopped Bruce's frantic actions, picked out all the information stained with coffee to prevent it from further soaking other information, and carefully separated the already soaked information, spreading them out one by one on the open area.
"Found it!"
Bruce's surprised voice came. Betty put aside the work she had finished and returned to Bruce's side. Taking a closer look, she saw that Bruce was indeed holding the bound volume she had just seen with the word "Sentinel" written on the cover.
"I'm very sorry, Bruce," Betty immediately lowered her head to apologize. "I always interact with people like this at home, but they've never been startled by me, so I didn't pay attention. I'm really sorry."
Bruce also knew that although this matter was Betty's responsibility, he couldn't entirely blame her. After all, this was a habit she had developed since childhood. Betty's Dad, General Ross, became a General based on solid achievements. He had rolled around in a killing field and come back alive. His observation of the surrounding environment was definitely far beyond ordinary people, so Betty naturally couldn't startle him. And her Brother Mark was even more so. His other name, Hyperion, was enough to explain everything.
Knowing this, Bruce actually had no intention of blaming Betty at all. Not to mention that the really important things were completely fine, so it was even less likely for him to get angry. However, a proper reminder was still necessary, all for the sake of his own little heart.
"Just don't do it next time," Bruce adjusted his fallen glasses. "You need to know, Betty, I'm just a scholar who lives in the laboratory, not as sharp-witted as your brother and your dad."
"It won't happen next time," Betty stuck out her tongue, then curiously looked at Bruce's arms and asked, "What is this thing that makes you so concerned? I'm getting jealous."
"This thing is related to our future," Bruce said seriously. Seeing Betty become even more curious, he helplessly handed the notebook to her.
"What the heck is this?" Betty took the notebook in her hand and opened it immediately, but the text written inside was like a boxer's fist directly hitting her head, making her feel dizziness. What is this thing? Am I not a Cambridge University graduate? How can I not understand it at a glance?
"This is the Super Soldier Serum that General Ross asked me to research and develop," Bruce said, seeing that Betty didn't understand.
"Is that the Second Generation Captain America Project?" Betty closed the notebook, keeping the knowledge that attempted to destroy her will out. Last time she went to call Dad for dinner, she did accidentally overhear such a plan outside his room. Dad criticized her severely at the time, but afterwards, he still told her a little bit about it, telling her that this was a plan created by the Government to boost public confidence, wanting to use the star effect to encourage citizens and soldiers, and also instructed her not to leak it out in advance.
Of course, Betty wouldn't tell anyone. She was originally forced to eavesdrop, and she wasn't the brainless heiress in TV Drama. If Bruce hadn't been involved in this plan, she wouldn't even have told him.
"That's right. You also know that the gap between our identities is a bit too big," Bruce said with a wry smile.
"Then you also know that my family doesn't care about this, Bruce," Betty frowned in dissatisfaction. "Besides, if your talent could be converted into wealth, then it should be me who is not worthy of you. So don't say these useless words anymore."
"I know, Betty, but I don't want your family to be gossiped about because of me," Bruce hurriedly comforted Betty. "You need to know that those big shots are glamorous on the surface, but they use dirty tricks in private. Isn't General Ross wanting to run for President? I can't become his burden at this time."
Betty was quite pleased with Bruce's behavior of working hard for her family even before marrying her. The careful her didn't dwell on this matter and shifted the topic to the bound volume in her hand.
"So this is the future you came up with?"
"That's right. This 'Sentinel' is the future that I have poured all my lifework into," Bruce nodded solemnly. "Simply put, it's an enhanced version of the Super Soldier Serum, but it's not perfect yet. But don't worry, I will complete it before the General Election. At that time, General Ross will definitely be able to win the General Election."
Although she knew her boyfriend was very capable, Betty still felt unbelievable. How amazing would an invention that could affect the General Election be?
"Really? Is this thing that powerful?"
"Of course. If my calculations and inferences are correct, then the person who takes 'Sentinel' will surpass your brother Hyperion!"
Betty looked at her boyfriend's spirited appearance and really couldn't bear to dampen his confidence. Surpass her brother? How could that be possible? Hyperion was the strongest super hero she had ever seen, no, the strongest super hero recognized by the World. Even now, Television still occasionally plays the Video of Hyperion moving a mountain to facilitate the Nation's road construction. That video deterred many villains and caused America's crime rate to plummet for several months.
