Lake just said that he had no direct connection with Laura Crawford, and this sentence is not a lie.

Professor X was the one who went to Mikami with Laura Crawford.

so……

Professor X is related to Laura Crawford.

Before, if Maria Hill asked for help, Lake might have gone to London, but a simple task of arresting people was so complicated that Lake was afraid that he would not be able to control his bad temper when he got there.

Originally, this transaction had been negotiated with the military, but the same thing is true. Lake would better not make any mistakes and be blamed.

In the federal government, it is basically a compulsory course to pass the blame and prevent it from being blamed.

At this moment.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon for Lake's time, and it's ten o'clock in the evening for London.

But it was approaching late at night. After returning from Xiematai in Crawford Manor, Laura Crawford, who completely inherited the Crawford Group, was still chatting with her godmother Anna Miller in the study.

It was said that it was chatting, but more about Laura Crawford asking Anna Miller for some company affairs.

After all, Laura in this version of Lake is not the Laura in the original story, so after returning from Xiematai and burying her father with her godmother Anna Miller, she seemed to have grown up overnight and took over the power of the Crawford Group without any rebellion.

However, Laura still trusts Anna Miller very much and still lets Anna Miller continue to become the executive president of Crawford Group.

But other than that.

No more.

In Anna Miller's eyes, Laura, who had been relieved to grow up all night, seemed to have returned to her prototype after squatting in Crawford Group for two months.

Let's say so.

Laura seemed to have more interest in the Trinity organization than Crawford Group. She seemed to want to take over the mantle of her father Richard Crawford and also rode the archaeological road.

It even seemed that in order not to let himself follow his father's footsteps, the re-opened Crawford Manor was almost transformed by Laura.

Anna Miller has a headache about this.

The key is that every time she wanted to persuade Laura, Laura did not directly choose to ignore the cold violence like before, but instead asked her if she still loved her as if she was acting coquettish.

Ms. Anna Miller wanted to laugh again, and looked helpless.

But not tonight.

No matter how Laura tells it, Anna Miller's attitude is firm: "Merick's Dudley Dursley is stupid, but he is very arrogant. If you don't show up, he may think that the Crawford Group is despising him and refuses to sign directly."

Laura frowned: "Does this Merrick have the technology we have to ask for?"

Although Laura is still unwilling to do business, she still knows that Merrick is just a younger brother in front of Crawford Group.

Anna Miller said: "The Federal Stark Industry has decided to enter the energy industry. Once Stark's small ark reactor is opened, the entire energy market will face a reshuffle, which is why we want to acquire Merrick."

Although Crawford Group has a wide range of main business, just like Stark Industry, the most profitable one is always the arms business that started, and so is Crawford Group.

Of course.

Crawford Group started out with real estate, but they also dabble in the energy market and gained a lot.

However, when Stark Industry enters energy, the market will be completely reshuffled. Crawford Group is not a company that insists on fighting energy. There is no need to compete with Stark Industry. In addition, Crawford Group has been committed to the medical industry over the years. Therefore, selling energy and then transferring its main business to medical care when the market is still good is also a good choice.

Although Merrick Biomedical Group has advocated that the dream of eliminating cancer has not been realized for three years, Merrick still has some basic reserves over the years. Crawford is not short of money, but he is too lazy to spend money to buy a finished or semi-finished product. In fact, it is the most cost-effective solution.

Laura said, "Okay..."

Just then.

The phone rings.

Laura was stunned at first, looking at her unlit phone, then, as if she had thought of something, she pulled away the backpack she carried with her and took out a satellite phone.

Connect.

Before Laura could speak across the phone, she said in surprise: "Professor X?"

Anna Miller, who was sitting next to Laura, raised an eyebrow.

Although Anna and Laura have only met Professor X once, some people can be deeply impressed by each other, especially since Professor X is still a member of the extraordinary world.

Lake, who was in New York, listened to Laura's little surprise voice, smiled, and said in Professor X's voice: "Good evening, Laura, are you sleeping?"

Laura said, “I’m learning.”

Lake smiled, and after a few words of greetings with Laura, he turned the topic directly into the main business. After all, Hill was still waiting for his reply: "Laura, I call this time and I need you to do me a favor."

Laura said without thinking: "Of course, anything busy."

At the beginning, Laura didn’t believe Professor X, but after Xiematai and his party, there was no doubt that Professor X was already on Laura’s trust list, and she was the one in the top few.

MMP?

Listening to Laura's unhesitant answer on the phone, Lake began to doubt whether it was wrong to use Professor X at that time. He should use his original deity to go there. In this way, the one who will be worshipped is Lake, not the clone Professor X.

Lake said directly: "I have a friend."

I haven't finished speaking.

Laura answered directly: "That old... Lake Edwin, right?"

Listening to Laura's inertial change, Lake laughed: "Yes, he just contacted me, and hopes to find you through me, so that you can help him a favor."

Said.

Lake told Laura directly about what she is now in London.

If you don’t plan to cheat, the best way is to say whatever you want. Instead of asking for help, it’s better to say it clearly from the beginning.

After hearing this, Laura said with some uncertainty: "Do you want me to help, help the Federation, enter the Merrick Group Building, and then arrest Dudley Dursley?"

Lake said: "Yes, you can tell your godmother, Ms. Miller, I learned from my friend that you seem to be going to Merrick Mansion tomorrow and have a acquisition meeting?"

Laura looked directly at her godmother, then said to Lake, and called Anna Miller.

After all, this matter is a bit too fantasy.

One sentence.

Laura herself is from London, and Lake's request just now seems to be asking Laura to be a traitor, which makes it difficult for Laura to make a decision for a while.

Fortunately, Lake did not make things difficult for Laura. After all, Laura was only in her early twenties, and simply put, she was still in a pink state.

Anna Miller over there took the call.

"I'm Anna Miller, good evening, Professor X."

"Good evening."

Lake and Anna Miller greeted each other and briefly explained the cause and the process, and said, "If Dudley Dursley is arrested, I think Ms. Miller can complete the acquisition at the lowest cost."

This is what Lake called after learning the whole thing, thinking about it and thinking it can be operated.

Crawford Group wants to acquire Merrick. If Merrick's head is directly arrested by the federal government for federal crimes, there is no doubt that Merrick's market value will plummet.

By that time, if Crawford Group wants to acquire Merrick, the cost will definitely be much lower than the scheduled one.

but……

Anna Miller said calmly: "But, I, Crawford Group, took people there."

At that time, the Federation will leave. Although Crawford is not afraid of the impeachment of the House of Commons and the relationship between Crawford Group is in the House of Lords, there are still too many civilians in London. Especially in recent years, with the intensification of immigration from a certain country, the imperial capital of the empire has gradually become a sensation of abnormal Virgin wind.

Lake laughed: "So, you may have to feel wronged tomorrow Ms. Anna and Laura. As long as you two don't intervene, then, that's not a problem, isn't it?"

Anna Miller didn't speak.

After a while.

Anna Miller said directly: "I have a request."

"Please say it!"

"Since this busyness was said by Professor X's friend, Crawford Group is willing to help, but Crawford Group also wants Professor X's friend to do us a favor."

"Tell me, look."

"Originally, when Crawford Group acquired Merrick, it was important to Merrick's current market, but it was obvious that the federal market would be closed to Merrick, right?"

"yes."

Once this matter is over, there is no doubt that the entire Federation will close the door to Merrick. If Merrick belongs to some other small country, or is not a Western country, there would be no such simple closing of the door. Just start sanctions based on this matter.

Anna Miller said: "Crawford Group hopes to have a meeting with Mr. Tony Stark through Professor X's friend, hoping to cooperate on energy."

Lake touched his chin and said nothing.

Anna Miller continued: "Of course, whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with Professor X."

Lake raised his eyebrows.

Next second.

Lake said, "Okay, I can agree on this for my friend, so we're going to agree, Ms. Anna Miller?"

Ms. Anna Miller said: "Of course, Professor X."

Lake said: "Someone will contact you later."
