Stephen Strange was finally able to walk, but his hands were trembling and he could no longer hold the scalpel. As a proud man, how could he accept such an outcome?
He had always been dissatisfied with the doctor who operated on him because he performed the surgery in the hospital where he worked. Here, he was the most authoritative surgeon, so no one dared to resist him when he scolded people. This was the effect of the accumulation of authority, but it still could not change his current situation.
Stephen Strange, who was in a state of madness, continued to study his cases and look for a way to cure his hands. This was his pride. From the time he started reading, he had a remarkable talent. His photographic memory made him read. Not only was he good at reading, but he was also good at other things. In the field of surgeons, he was even more famous for being bold and careful.
Christina Palmer was a female doctor who was considered a good friend of his. She had taken care of Stephen Strange's life during the days of his accident, but Stephen Strange felt nothing about it. All he cared about was his hands.
Even if it was an experimental surgery in the experimental stage, no matter how expensive it was, he chose to perform the surgery. However, the effect was still not there. However, he still did not give up. There were a total of seven expensive surgeries and many things in the house were sold.
"Sir, Stephen Strange is at the end of his rope," Wesley's direct action team reported to him.
"Oh? So soon? It has only been a few months. How is his mental state now?" Wesley asked.
Since Wesley had issued the mission, his immediate team had been monitoring Stephen Stranz for three months.
"His mental state is very bad. He's showing signs of collapse."
"Good, keep checking. Remember to let me know when he's leaving." Wesley put down the phone.
Three months was not a long time, but it was not a short time either. The Avengers Alliance headquarters was on the right track, and all the departments were perfected. At the same time, they began to carry out the Avengers' functions step by step.
The first is the gathering of intelligence, which is handled by Natasha Romanov and Clint Barton. Both of them are top agents and are very good at gathering intelligence. At the same time, SHIELD shares intelligence with the Avengers. The civilian staff begins to build the Avengers' own archive and enrich the information inside. These may seem useless, but they may be unexpected at critical moments.
There were not many missions for the operations personnel. They were mostly training. After all, they were students who had just graduated and needed to cooperate, especially some surveillance missions. They might not have many combat missions in the future, but there would be many surveillance missions.
Wesley completed the acquisition of Pimm's company, and finally took 55 percent of the shares. Then Alliance Games went public, and Pimm's company announced to the public that it had completed the acquisition. Wesley then transferred 10 percent of the company's shares to Carlos, so that he would not have absolute control. Then the company directly began to make Apple Series phones.
Wesley had sat on a lot of things in the past three months. He was going to take care of them before Stephen Strange left.
The butler at home, Alan Hebrew, hired two chefs, a driver, and four servants. The house was fully equipped. Wesley now went home to stay every day and then went to Avenger headquarters during the day. He crossed the United States twice a day, and his use and control of the space door had improved. The error of one start was about ten kilometers, which was a remarkable improvement.
Stephen Strange was sitting at home. The house was empty except for a few chairs and a table, all of which were worthless. He was making a last-ditch effort to ask his former friend for help, but the man had refused outright for the sake of his reputation.
That's right, reputation. If it was not treated well, it would be detrimental to the reputation of the doctor. Other people did not care how sick they were. In the United States, being a doctor was a high-income profession, and they especially cared about reputation.
Stephen Strange swept everything on the table to the ground. At this moment, Christina Palmer came in with food. She asked, "Did he refuse?"
"Yes, quack. But there is an institution in Tokyo that cultivates upgraded donor stem cells and then prints the chromosome skeleton in three dimensions, but I have to raise a sum of money first. It doesn't need to be much, about two hundred thousand."
"Stephen, you always spend as much money as you make. You are completely overdrawn now," Christina Palmer said. "You should consider giving up."
Instead of calming down, Stephen Strange became irritable. "No, now is not the time to give up. My illness is not cured."
"You're not sick now, but persistent. You should start over."
"Life without a career?"
"That's also life," Christina Palmer said earnestly. "The world will find other things that will make you passionate again. You can start over."
'Like you?' Stephen Strange looked up at him.
If it had been a different mood and a different environment, this sentence might have been a courtship sentence, but now it became a hurt. The time was wrong and the mood was different. The two of them began to argue, but the result was that a sad woman left and the remaining man began to be alone.
But he had one last hope now. His physical therapist had given him a name. Jonathan Pangborn had never been able to stand up again, but now he was as good as new. Stephen Strange had not believed it, but he had no choice. He was ready to see.
Jonathan Pangborn's information was placed in front of Wesley. His immediate team had always paid attention to it, so the information was quickly obtained. This man was once a weapons lab rat for Hammer Weapons. At the time, he was experimenting with Hammer's Iron Man Armor, but in the end, the experiment failed. The sudden and drastic twisting of the Iron Man Armor seriously injured him, and a video appeared in Tony Stark's hearing.
Wesley found this funny. The connection was still very tight. This universe was really interesting, but it was almost time for him to act. He wondered if he would get something out of it.
Stephen Strange found Jonathan Pangborn and got a name, 'Kama Taj'. That was all he got. Nothing else.
