Recently, the Company and Blackwater have been at odds.
Blackwater wants to meddle in the Company's affairs, and if they can't meddle, they'll find ways to be nasty.
Now, he didn't expect to become a flashpoint between the Company and Blackwater.
Caught between two behemoths, William Stryker felt his brows furrow and his heart heavy with worry.
William Stryker didn't know the true reason why the Company pushed him forward.
He only knew that he had probably been drawn into a vortex that his small frame simply couldn't withstand.
He only knew that his previously excited mood had long since vanished.
One is the emerging behemoth, the Company; the other is the long-established, deeply entrenched Blackwater Company.
Suddenly being roasted between these two, William Stryker felt like he was going to die of worry!

Chapter 399: Contact
"General,"
"Someone is here to see you. It's someone from the Company."
After returning from The Pentagon, William Stryker didn't immediately go to receive his new subordinates. Instead, he returned to his office to calm down and think about how he could survive in the gap between the Company and Blackwater Company.
But William Stryker didn't expect that shortly after he sat down, a guard reported that someone from the Company was looking for him.
"Take them to the reception room. I'll be there shortly."
William Stryker frowned but immediately reacted.
"Yes, General!"
No matter what, the Company was the one who helped William Stryker become a Brigadier General.
Moreover, facing a behemoth like the Company, William Stryker dared not offend him.
Those Mutants could be killed, and no one would avenge them except… the Mutants themselves; there wouldn't even be anyone to speak out.
But the Company is different. This is a security and defense company with influence all over the World. To offend such an entity, let alone him being merely a Brigadier General who was promoted, even if he were a true General, the Company would have many ways to deal with him if it truly wanted to.
Furthermore, as one of the beneficiaries of human power, William Stryker understood very well how terrifying the power behind the Company, which grew from nothing and spread across the World in half a year, truly was.
He, William Stryker, was not… an ignorant fellow who didn't know how to lie low or was unaware of worldly affairs…
"Oh wow!"
"I was wondering why the weather was so good today."
"It turns out a distinguished guest from the Company has arrived!"
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Please forgive any oversight."
Don't assume that because William Stryker spent most of his life in the military, he was ignorant of social etiquette.
On the contrary, William Stryker was very adept at dealing with people. Upon entering the reception room, the previously worried William Stryker immediately put on a smile that no one could see through.
Of course, the Company promoting him was indeed a truly happy occasion, wasn't it?
"Haha!"
"I finally get to meet the renowned General William Stryker!"
"Our Company has also heard of you for a long time and has always wanted an opportunity to pay our respects!"
The person White sent to contact William Stryker was a high-level socialite skilled in dealing with various important figures. Incidentally, this fellow came from the Hellfire Club. Of course, this fellow was not a Mutant.
It is well known that William Stryker is hostile towards Mutants.
In this situation, sending a Mutant to contact William Stryker would be foolish, wouldn't it? Moreover, given the common human flaw, if a Mutant were sent to contact William Stryker, he would inevitably overthink it.
At that time, if William Stryker, fearing the Company's power, stopped targeting Mutants, wouldn't that be terrible?
"It's like this."
"Because most of the orders our Company has received recently involve dealing with superhumans."
"However, our Base itself doesn't have too many superhuman talents, and we're somewhat lacking in successors."
"You might have heard that in a previous operation in Egypt, our Company failed."
"This was our Company's first failure since its establishment!"
