Old Guardian, Corrupt Zain; thank you for your generosity!

"You have a grudge against Umbrella? Did you think I would immediately believe what you said?" January expressed her doubts.
Eddie had no doubts about January's computer skills. If she could hack into a global group system at Umbrella's level, would there still be doubts about her abilities? That's why Eddie wanted to invite her into the team.
Earlier, when January hacked into Umbrella's system, she'd seen a lot of information she had never imagined or seen before.
It turned out that Umbrella was secretly developing bio-weapons; besides that, Umbrella had researched many fields, each of which had extraordinary results. Starting from more sophisticated computer technology, weapons equipment, etc.
In addition, almost all the instruments used for biological research are produced by Umbrella itself. This reveals how significant the Umbrella company is in the eyes of the world.
"He's the nephew of Marcus, one of the founders of Umbrella. Umbrella's internal power struggle led to Eddie's uncle's death." Alyssa suddenly spoke.
"Besides that, he has founded his own pharmaceutical company; of course, Umbrella is a competitor to Eddie's. His uncle's death made him hold a grudge against Umbrella." Alyssa explained a little story about Eddie.
If Eddie had said it himself, January wouldn't want to believe it, but if it was Alyssa, then things would be different.
Alyssa's reputation is excellent; everything she says can be trusted. She was never after money, just facts!
"Then I will try to help you. But don't think that I will work for free; I want to earn money!"
"After I collect all your money, I will do my own thing." After hearing her friend's explanation, January finally wanted to help.
"Then you are welcome to join." Eddie nodded happily.
"How about you, Becca?" Eddie turned to the pretty blonde girl sitting quietly at the side of the room.
"What else can I do? I'll join you, but I don't have any hacking skills." Becca pouted a little; she had no other choice. If she went alone, Umbrella would likely kidnap her again.
But if she joins, then what should she do? Hack the system? She doesn't have the same computer skills as January!
"It's okay; I'll make use of your talent. Later I'll buy some mountains; after all, I still need someone who can grow some medicinal herbs and take care of them." Eddie smiled.
"I want you to help me take care of the plant."
"Really?!" Becca's beautiful eyes immediately lit up. If that's true, she can take advantage of her talents in the team; besides that, she likes nature. So she didn't really mind.
"Of course. To get revenge on Umbrella, we need a lot of preparation. And this process will take time and effort; besides that, we also need a lot of money." Eddie said seriously; they were all facts. Umbrella was the real giant in this world; it was impossible to take them down so easily.
"Well, I'm not very good at those two things. But do you mind adding me too?" Alyssa suddenly asked with a smile. She was very interested in Eddie; rather than daydreaming or doing some boring thing at home, she better join him. It's sure to be a lot of fun.
"Hmm? You've been on my team from the start; there's no need to invite you again. Besides, don't ever expect to leave the team!" Eddie said proudly.
"That's what you said." Alyssa nodded several times.
"By the way, two new members have joined. Shouldn't we open a few bottles of wine to celebrate this?" Alyssa laughed.
"To welcome our new members, I have specially prepared several bottles of high-quality red wine!" Eddie pulled out the expensive drink; one bottle of that wine even cost a hundred thousand dollars!
"Wait! If I join, then what about Cindy?" Becca suddenly asked; she wanted to drag Cindy into this mess too!
She was hesitant to work in an unfamiliar environment. Still, if she was accompanied by her close friends, the atmosphere would become lighter!
Cindy, who heard this, was immediately stunned for a moment, she asked in a confused tone. "I'm just a waitress at the Raccoon bar. You want to invite me too?"
Alyssa clearly saw her confusion, she said with a smile. "Cindy, you already know our secret. We'll be worried for your safety if we don't drag you into the team."
"Besides that, you like studying medicine, right? Want to become a real professional? Then join us; it will be enjoyable, don't you think?"
The main feature of Cindy is her smile. If she's on the team, her smile can ease the rest of the members' fatigue!
"That's right, there's nothing wrong with Cindy joining us; I still need someone with medical talent. Now we are all Umbrella's enemies and targets!"
"If we want to survive, we have to come together as a team, stay warm and help each other."
"My wish is straightforward; I just want to live my life well, earn money, then spend the rest of my life with the women I like. Those things are enough." Eddie smiled sincerely. That smile somehow had its own inexplicable charm.
"Why do I feel like all of you are a little... weird?" Cindy sighed. Honestly, she didn't know what to do.
"Umbrella controls the entire Raccoon City, and they have other strong allies; even the Military is under their hands. We can't fight them for now. What we need to do now is to be low-key and develop our own business."
"Cindy, because you're with Alyssa a lot, you're automatically under Umbrella's radar," Eddie said.
"Ah, did I get tagged by them too?" Cindy said doubtfully.
"Very likely... I'm sorry, Cindy, I was the one who dragged you into this." Alyssa apologized; she looked a little sad. Starting from the Arklay forest hospital incident that piqued her curiosity. In the end, she ended up pulling her friend into real danger.
"It's okay. Since Eddie invited me, I'll join too. Also, I still owe Eddie a debt of gratitude." Cindy forgives her friend.
"Since everyone has joined. Now I will say this."
"Cindy will work, as usual; later, I will give her a cellphone and a Bluetooth headset for us to communicate."
"January, you will be my programmer, and you will cooperate with other members. Try developing a program for our supercomputer." Eddie started giving orders.
"What about me?" Alyssa asked in a hopeful tone.
"You just have to do what you usually do. Try to critique and find some minor Umbrella problems, like their pollution treatment, etc."
"Tell the news as usual, but don't corner Umbrella too much; I'm afraid you'll get hurt," Eddie said.
"Hmm... Then I'll move into this apartment too. What do you think? If I stayed in my old apartment, it would be dangerous." Alyssa tried to suggest.
"But this apartment doesn't have enough room." Eddie shook his head; now, he felt a little dizzy. The place he was in now didn't have many rooms.
"Just rent this whole apartment. You have a lot of money, don't you? Didn't you just get ten million dollars too?" January said quickly. It seems that staying here is not bad, at least with that the security of members can be guaranteed.
Besides that Eddie is very rich, with him she doesn't have to worry about money anymore!
