“Motherf*cker!”
“Are you sure this is that yellow-skinned monkey’s house?”
“I’m sure, boss.”
Around Adi’s house, several black youths, looking about fifteen or sixteen, each holding a machete, stealthily climbed over the fence into Adi’s yard.
If Adi or Peter were there, they would surely recognize these black youths as the ones Adi had knocked out with a single punch at school earlier today.
The black boss, who had been knocked down by Adi with two punches during the day, crept to Adi’s door and spat fiercely.
“Motherf*cker, once we get in, beat him hard for me. We must hack that yellow-skinned monkey who knows kung fu to death.”
The black boss said viciously, his face still swollen, but his subordinate timidly said:
“Boss, that yellow-skinned monkey is too strong. We might not be able to beat him.”
The black boss slapped him, “Pow!” and pulled out the gun tucked into his waistband:
“Hey, what are you scared of? No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than a gun? You wimp.”
After scolding his subordinate, the black boss stepped forward and knocked on the door. Adi’s voice immediately came from inside: “The door isn’t locked. Please come in.”
The black men outside exchanged glances. The black boss tentatively twisted the doorknob, and with a “click,” the door actually opened.
The black boss grinned, carrying his pistol and leading his subordinates through the door. With another “click,” the door closed.
Meanwhile, the scene of the black men entering Adi’s house with machetes was coincidentally witnessed by Uncle Ben, who was on his balcony.
“Call the police, Mei.”
After all, they were old neighbors. Seeing that the situation was bad, Uncle Ben immediately got dressed and went downstairs. After informing Peter and Mei downstairs of what had happened, he went to the kitchen, picked a handy knife, and was about to leave.
Upon hearing that black men had broken into his neighbor and good brother Adi’s house, Peter immediately got up, went to the kitchen, grabbed two knives, and followed Uncle Ben.
Uncle Ben tried to stop him, but Peter said with an unusually serious expression: “Adi is one of my two best brothers.”
Looking at the serious Peter in front of him, Uncle Ben patted his shoulder and said, “You’ve grown up,” no longer trying to stop him.
But just as the uncle and nephew opened the door, wails and several gunshots came from Adi’s house next door.
“Adi!!!”
Peter’s eyes instantly turned red. They were friends who had grown up together! Peter looked at Uncle Ben. The two exchanged a glance and rushed directly to Adi’s house, kicking the door open.
But the sight before them left them both dumbfounded. Adi was sitting perfectly fine on the sofa, wearing his custom bathrobe, watching an Agent movie, and looking at them with surprise.
“Uncle Ben, Peter, what are you two doing?”
Adi’s puzzled tone roused Uncle Ben and Peter from their confusion.
Realizing their rudeness, Uncle Ben and Peter quickly hid their knives behind their backs and stammered:
“Uh, we saw some black men break into your house.”
“Black men?”
Hearing what Uncle Ben and Peter said, Adi looked puzzled.
“No, right? Where are there any black men?”
Uncle Ben recovered, told Adi what he had seen, and said seriously:
“Perhaps I saw wrong, but I think we should still search. If black men really came in, that would be bad.”
Adi nodded, stood up, and said seriously: “Then I’ll go with you, since it’s for my safety.”
So the three searched everywhere inside the house, but couldn’t even find a Shadow of the black men.
Uncle Ben scratched his head and said dejectedly: “How could there be none? I clearly saw them!”
Peter gave Adi an apologetic look and advised Uncle Ben: “Uncle, I think you should get more rest. Look, you’re so tired you’re having hallucinations.”
Uncle Ben sighed helplessly: “It seems I really am too tired. I’m sorry, Adi, for causing you such a big trouble.”
Adi smiled and waved his hand: “It’s fine, Uncle Ben. Compared to helping you discover a problem, this is nothing.”
Uncle Ben’s kind face broke into a smile upon hearing Adi say this: “You really are a good child, Adi.”
“Alright, Uncle, let’s go back and rest.”
“Mm.”
After seeing Uncle Ben leave, Peter turned to Adi and apologized earnestly: “I’m sorry, Adi, for causing you trouble. I’m really embarrassed.”
Adi reached out and patted Peter’s shoulder: “It’s nothing, we’re brothers. Go back and check on Uncle Ben. He’s been too tired lately.”
“Mm, see you tomorrow, Adi.”
“See you tomorrow, Peter.”
After seeing Peter and Uncle Ben off, Adi closed the door and sat back on the sofa.
Venom emerged from Adi’s shoulder, sticking out his tongue: “Ugh, truly disgusting. These black dogs are so gross. They smell like an old grandma’s underwear that hasn’t been changed in fifteen years. No, this lord needs to rinse his mouth.”
Before he finished speaking, Venom controlled his head to stretch towards the kitchen, and it only ended after a long gurgle of Water.
“Oh sh*t, saved.”
Returning to Adi’s side, Venom, making himself at home, snatched the remote control and switched the Agent movie to a children’s channel, chattering incessantly:
“So, Adi? Any plans next?”
Adi got up, took a crystal glass and red wine from the cabinet, and poured himself a glass:
“Can’t Symbiotes read their host’s memories? You don’t know my next plan?”
“Oh ho ho, I almost forgot, you haven’t recovered your memories yet. But it’s okay, this lord will say it again: I respect you, Adi. Without your permission, I will not read any of your thoughts.
By the way, here’s how to block me. I’ll teach you now.”
After Venom finished speaking, the method to block Venom immediately appeared in Adi’s mind. This deep sincerity moved Adi, and he revealed his next plan without reservation:
“Become stronger. How to unlock Abyss Power is still unknown, but my own strength is real.
You don’t have the Symbiote’s weaknesses, so you can be said to be a perfect existence, an absolute all-rounder.
But there’s a fatal weakness, and that’s me. Even with your parasitism, my own strength is still too weak.
Although Symbiote strength is strong, it mainly depends on the host. So I plan to follow my original plan. You can look at my memories for the specific plan.”
“Is that so? Then wait a moment, let this lord look at your plan.”
After Venom finished speaking, he retracted into Adi’s body. After a while, he emerged again and said with a raised eyebrow:
“Hey, that’s a really good plan. We can just follow that plan. But I really didn’t expect, Adi, that you and Toby Spider are from the same Universe.
And this Universe even has that narcissistic annoying guy, Tony Stark.”
“Mm.”
Adi wasn’t surprised that Venom knew Toby Spider. After all, if what Venom and Loki said was true, then it was only natural for Venom to know.
Taking a sip of red wine, Adi asked:
“By the way, how many tons of strength do you think we’ll have after merging? My single hand can lift objects between 300 and 360 pounds.”
Venom pondered for a moment and gave his answer: “Considering various factors, and also the compatibility, a conservative estimate would be around 50 tons as a baseline.”
50 tons as a baseline? That’s quite high among strength-type superheroes.
This means that at this stage, as long as he doesn’t stir up trouble, there’s nothing that can threaten him. Truly a super cheat.
Adi was convinced by Venom’s answer. Putting everything else aside, don’t let Venom’s unassuming appearance and grumpy old-man demeanor fool you.
According to the official data, Venom’s intelligence is the highest level, Level 7.
What does that mean? To put it this way, Tony Stark and Mister Fantastic’s intelligence level is only Level 6.
One can only say that Marvel routinely ignores its own lore.
Finishing the red wine in one gulp, Adi glanced at Venom, who was excitedly watching TV, then got up, found his headphones and eye mask, put them on, and lay down on the sofa.
“Tomorrow I’m going to the science exhibition hosted by Osborn. I’m going to sleep now.”
“Huh? Oh, okay. Good night, Adi.”
Saying this, Venom extended a tentacle, turned off the living room lights, and muted the TV.
Adi smiled slightly at the sight. It had been a year, and the house finally felt a bit lively again.
“Good night, Venom.”
