"Who are you? Who allowed you into the conference room!"
Seeing Hawking appear, several shareholders of the company frowned and shouted angrily.
Although Hawking appeared relatively mature, he was still only sixteen years old physically, and he looked too young overall.
For them, such a young man suddenly bursting into the conference room and claiming to be an investor in such a large company was simply a joke.
"Mr. Hawking, is what you said true?"
Compared to the shareholders' reprimands, Doom's attitude was completely opposite. He had just been fuming, but now his body was trembling slightly with excitement.
Because he knew that with Hawking's strength, if he was truly willing to be an investor, his company would immediately be resurrected.
After the Apocalypse incident, Hero Alliance International Company was soaring.
Even if Hawking didn't invest much money, just the news of Hero Alliance International Company collaborating with O's Group would quickly restore his company's stock price to its previous level.
"Of course, Dr. Doom is My Lord friend, so I am naturally willing to help with such a small matter."
Hawking stepped forward and nodded with a slight smile.
In fact, Doom was quite business-savvy. If he hadn't been tricked by Dr. Reed, how could he have fallen into such a predicament?
Even if he didn't consider other aspects, simply for the sake of making money, investing in Doom's company was a good deal.
However, he wasn't doing it just to make money. Hero Alliance International Company was already profitable enough. Too much money was just a number and had no real meaning.
The main thing was that by becoming an investor in O's Group, he could easily control Doom, and in turn, make Dr. Reed willingly research gravity equipment for him.
Moreover, this way, Doom would owe him a big favor.
If Doom in this Universe was just a normal Doom, that would be one thing. But if not, and he truly developed into the God Emperor Doom version someday, he would always remember this favor.
He always believed that even villains weren't purely evil. Villains also had emotions, and sometimes their love and hate were purer than those of righteous people.
Even someone like Thanos, his goal wasn't pure killing for pleasure; he wanted to reduce life in the Universe to allow the entire Universe to develop better.
But if Doom didn't show gratitude in the future, he wouldn't mind eliminating him before he grew powerful.
"Doom, who exactly is this gentleman?"
Through Doom's reaction, the shareholders also realized something was amiss. They were all old foxes in the business world, not truly foolish, so they immediately adjusted their attitudes and began to probe.
Doom regained his usual domineering CEO demeanor and introduced him to the shareholders with an arrogant expression:
"Everyone, allow me to formally introduce you.
This Mr. Hawking is the chairman of the most famous Hero Alliance International Company!"
"What? He is the mysterious chairman of Hero Alliance International Company!"
Upon hearing Doom's introduction, all the shareholders' eyes widened, and many cried out in surprise.
They had already guessed that Hawking's identity was not simple based on Doom's attitude, but they hadn't expected it to be *this* not simple.
Hero Alliance International Company was not an ordinary company; it was the most special company on the entire Earth.
Most of its members were Superheroes with special abilities, and the most powerful one had even saved all of human civilization.
That wasn't all; according to their understanding, Hero Alliance International Company's recent development had been smooth sailing, with the government opening doors for it, clearly indicating a powerful background.
They just hadn't expected such a mysterious figure to be so young.
"That's right, I am Hawking, the chairman of Hero Alliance International Company.
I will be investing in your company, and just like O's Group, your company will also become one of Hero Alliance International Company's partners."
Hawking also gave a brief self-introduction.
Doom then said:
"With Mr. Hawking's help, I believe it won't be long before we can recover all the losses caused by this experiment, and the future will only be better!"
"Welcome, Mr. Hawking!"
After confirming Hawking's identity, the shareholders' attitudes immediately did a complete 180-degree turn. They all applauded and praised him loudly.
They acted even more affectionately than if they had met their own father.
Originally, Doom had messed up so badly that they could have taken the opportunity to kick him out, but the company would inevitably hover on the brink of bankruptcy, and no one would be better off.
Now, with such a big shot as Hawking joining, O's Group could rapidly develop by riding the big ship of Hero Alliance International Company. This way, everyone would make money, so why wouldn't they be happy?
As for whether Doom would deceive them, or if this Hawking was fake, based on their understanding of Doom, that wasn't likely.
"Regarding the specific cooperation plan later, the company will have dedicated personnel to discuss it.
Dr. Doom, I need to speak with you alone."
Too lazy to waste time with these opportunistic shareholders, Hawking went straight to the point.
Doom winked at the shareholders below, and they immediately stood up, smiled, and left the conference room.
"Mr. Hawking, you helped the company overcome its difficulties. You can make any request."
If it weren't for Hawking's help, O's Group, which he had painstakingly built, would soon go bankrupt.
So, in future cooperation, as long as Hawking's demands didn't exceed his bottom line, he would agree to them.
At this point, he still thought Hawking wanted to discuss company matters.
However, Hawking just smiled:
"Dr. Doom, you've misunderstood. I said that professionals would discuss company matters with you, and it can be done according to your previous investor's cooperation.
What I want to talk to you about is Dr. Reed."
"Dr. Reed?"
Doom's face showed a puzzled expression.
So Hawking repeated Dr. Reed's words from the hospital.
After listening, Doom immediately patted his chest and guaranteed:
"Mr. Hawking, don't worry, I will talk to Dr. Reed. He will go to O's Group today to help you research the gravity equipment so you can start cultivating as soon as possible!"
He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small matter.
He had originally hoped that Dr. Reed could produce some more experimental results to help him recover a bit, but now with Hawking's strong involvement, he no longer needed that troublesome Dr. Reed.
It was perfect to have Dr. Reed go help Hawking, to repay what he owed before.
With Doom's assurance, Hawking returned to school with peace of mind.
Soon after he arrived at school, he received a call from Dr. Reed:
"Hawking, thank you for helping Doom save his company. I'm heading to O's Group immediately to help you with the Gravity Chamber research."
"That's great! But Dr. Reed, please remember to bring some necessary daily essentials and notify your family and friends.
Due to special reasons, this Gravity Chamber research will be conducted in a closed, isolated environment. You will be unable to communicate or have contact with the outside world for three months, and you need to fully dedicate yourself to the research."
Hawking reminded him.
Susan and the others' abilities would awaken soon, and he didn't want Dr. Reed to be distracted by other things.
This time, Dr. Reed wouldn't be released until he researched a Gravity Chamber capable of ten times gravity.
