Seeing that the other party seemed intent on avoiding his question, Dr. Curt Connors wasn't worried and explained with a smile, “The higher-ups of the corporation have just approved the next phase of primate experiments. I believe the day we officially begin human trials is not far away!”
Then, he continued with a face full of gratitude, “And the fact that we've been able to smoothly progress to this stage in such a short amount of time is all thanks to you, Peter, for successfully solving the [Decay Rate Algorithm]… That’s why I felt I had to personally tell you this good news.”
“Then congratulations, Dr. Connors.”
Faced with the praise, Peter Parker scratched his head with a slightly shy expression, as if he had instantly reverted to the bashful teenager he once was.
Seeing this, Dr. Curt Connors pressed on while the iron was hot, “How about coming to my house for dinner together? We can celebrate in advance.”
Seeing that he couldn't refuse the invitation, Peter Parker could only nod in agreement.
Soon, the two of them took a taxi to Dr. Curt Connors' house.
Mrs. Connors seemed to have been prepared in advance, and the table was quickly filled with a sumptuous feast.
During the meal, the scheming Dr. Curt Connors frequently poured wine for Peter Parker and intentionally or unintentionally steered the conversation to the riot that had occurred in [Hell's Kitchen] half a month ago.
He also lavishly praised Spider-Woman and the Lizard Man's heroic deeds!
And Peter Parker, who had not yet entered society and had no scheming mind, soon, under the influence of alcohol and the other party's deliberate flattery and guidance, took the initiative to admit that he was the Lizard Man!
And before he was completely drunk, he generously wrote the self-developed serum formula on a napkin.
Then he passed out on the table, completely unconscious…
“Martha, help me take care of this child.”
Dr. Curt Connors carefully put the napkin with the serum formula into his pocket, then couldn't wait to take a taxi back to his laboratory and began trying to analyze the formulas in the recipe.
Although he also knew that his behavior was very immoral and constituted deliberately stealing Peter Parker's research results.
However, his research on [Cross-Species Genetic Experiment], which he had bet his life's work on and spent most of his life on, had yielded no results.
No one could understand the urgent and impatient obsession he had with restoring his amputated limb.
It wasn't until Peter Parker's appearance that a glimmer of hope was injected into his desperate life.
Therefore, in order to restore his missing right arm as soon as possible, bearing the criticism and losing some face was nothing to Curt Connors.
It was even insignificant!
However, Curt Connors only wanted to restore his arm, but he didn't want to turn into the Lizard Man.
So he needed to further optimize the serum developed by Peter Parker himself.
This was definitely not a small project!
And tonight, in addition to Dr. Curt Connors, who was immersed in scientific research, it was also destined to be a sleepless night for some people in [New York]!
…………
……
[Manhattan·Upper East Side].
In a dilapidated warehouse filled with debris.
“……”
When John Jameson regained consciousness, he found that his eyes were completely dark, as if they were covered by something, and his mouth was also taped. His body was tightly fixed to a cold chair with something like a rope.
John Jameson: Well, great, it looks like I've been lucky enough to be kidnapped!
That's right, just a few minutes ago.
When John Jameson, as usual, worked overtime until late at night, finished his busy day, and took the elevator alone to the underground parking lot, preparing to drive home.
He was unexpectedly ambushed from behind and knocked unconscious, and then taken directly to this warehouse.
The person who did it was naturally Eddie Brock, who harbored resentment.
However, to his surprise, John Jameson, after regaining consciousness, not only did not show any panic, but was surprisingly calm.
He neither struggled randomly nor tried to make a sound to call for help from the outside world, but just sat quietly on the chair, waiting for the "kidnapper" to speak first.
Such an unusual move immediately made Eddie Brock, who had originally planned to first enjoy the embarrassing survival process after the other party woke up, lose all interest.
Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not.
He always felt that the other party seemed to have expected that he would be kidnapped!
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
“John Jameson, I'm going to tear the tape off your mouth next.”
Eddie Brock warned in an extremely tough tone, “But if you dare to yell at the opportunity, I will not only kill you, but also let you taste what cruelty is before you die, and record the whole process with my mobile phone and post it online…”
“If you understand, nod your head!”
John Jameson nodded immediately to show his agreement.
So Eddie Brock tore off the tape from the other party's mouth and continued with a grinning smile: “Very good, for both of us, this is a pretty good start.”
“Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, I promise I won't hurt you…”
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by John Jameson's calm tone: “Let's get straight to the point… Eddie Brock!”
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
What's the situation?
He… he actually knows who I am?
I don't remember saying my identity just now, do I?
Could it be that this blindfold is transparent?
Eddie Brock suddenly felt a sense of panic like sitting on pins and needles.
But then he heard Anti-Venom say: “Useless Eddie, you are too timid. Since he has guessed your true identity, there is no need to continue to hide it.”
Then Anti-Venom directly took control of the body, raised his hand to tear off the blindfold on John Jameson's face, and said with a grin full of fangs:
“Old man, I know you have a very close relationship with that monster… that is, Karl Malla!”
“So, if you don't want your brain to be eaten by me, you better call your subordinates at the [Daily Bugle] immediately and have them publish an article slandering Karl Malla and [Sokovia].”
Before the operation, Eddie Brock, as a reporter, had specially formulated a simple and crude action plan for himself!
That is, first release false news unfavorable to Karl through the [Daily Bugle], stir up the heat while carrying out a backstab.
Then, when the time is right, kill John Jameson, frame Karl, further detonate public opinion, and then guide and use the huge fan base of the [Daily Bugle] to launch a cyber violence against Karl and [Sokovia Exquisite]!
Although the plan looks full of loopholes.
But it is the simplest, most effective and safest counterattack that Eddie Brock can think of at the moment.
After all, in addition to hiding in the dark and doing some small tricks, he and Anti-Venom don't have the courage to go to [Sokovia] in person to cause trouble for Karl.
John Jameson did not rush to give an answer, but looked at the Anti-Venom in front of him with interest, and cleverly changed the subject:
“As expected, I guessed correctly. The real culprit who attacked the police on the street before, and the subsequent series of headless murders is you… Eddie Brock!”
“That's right, it's me.” Anti-Venom said with a nonchalant expression: “Human heads are a delicious treat that crunches, once you eat it once, you can't stop at all.”
“Wait a minute, old man, I'm the one interrogating you now!”
“Okay, then I'll answer your question just now first.”
John Jameson said with a calm expression: “First of all, I'm not very familiar with Mr. Karl Malla… Secondly, I won't let my subordinates report those false news.”
“After all, as a professional journalist, our [Daily Bugle]'s tradition has always been to adhere to moral principles and professional ethics.”
“Bullshit!!”
At this time, Eddie Brock actually temporarily regained control of his body under the drive of anger, and roared angrily:
“Don't think that you can cover up the essence of your third-rate tabloid that started with unscrupulous gossip news just by reporting a few big news by chance… so stop trying to put on airs.”
The latest novel is first published on the 6 9 books bar!
“Also, you better not try to get away with it, from the initial [Sokovia] to the later King Kong and Godzilla incidents… Don't think I can't see that your [Daily Bugle] has always been helping that Karl Malla guy to set the pace in the open and in the dark!!”
“Especially in the [Life Foundation] incident, you actually blamed all the guilt on me alone, which led to my life being completely ruined because of this…”
John Jameson obviously didn't agree with the other party's words, raised his eyebrows, and asked sharply: “So, in order to vent your personal anger, you have been maliciously slandering and attacking Mr. Karl Malla on the Internet under the online name of 'Strongest Avenger'?”
“That's right.”
Eddie Brock simply didn't pretend anymore, and roared hysterically: “I want that guy to taste the taste of utter defeat too… and you and the [Daily Bugle] are the most powerful weapons I can use to fight against him!”
“Tell me, what could be more interesting than being stabbed in the back by your own people?”
“With just you… you're worthy?!!”
At this moment, accompanied by a cold voice, Selena, holding a holographic recorder and wearing a tight black leather suit, walked out of the darkness not far away like a ghost.
“Who are you, why are you here?”
Eddie Brock was startled, he clearly remembered that he had checked before that there was no one else in this warehouse!
However.
The opposite Selena directly ignored him, swayed her body, and went straight to John Jameson, who was tied up.
While untying him, she asked with a somewhat puzzled expression:
“Mr. Jameson, I really can't figure it out. If you just want to get the reason why he framed Boss, then you only need to hand him over to me for interrogation.
But why do you have to go to so much trouble… to find trouble for yourself?”
“Hehe.” John Jameson first shook his arms that were a little numb from being strangled by the rope, then grinned with a nonchalant expression:
“Miss Selena, don't forget, this guy is a reporter, and his personality is cautious. If you don't do this, he won't be fooled at all…”
“What's more, as long as I can catch this bastard who dares to slander Boss, it's worth it no matter how much it costs.”
Selena looked at the other party with some surprise.
The two had not been in contact for a long time, and it was only during the chaos caused by [Beast] in [Hell's Kitchen] that they first cooperated.
Selena's first impression of John Jameson was not very good before.
I felt that the other party was an old white man with a very loud voice and a super irritable temper.
So a few days ago, when the other party suddenly contacted her and proposed to use public opinion offensive to force out Eddie Brock, who had been hiding in the dark and slandering Karl and [Sokovia], and then take the opportunity to obtain evidence of his evil deeds, she didn't care much.
I just perfunctorily agreed to protect his safety and cooperate with his actions.
But who would have thought that this old man with a poisonous tongue would actually disregard his own safety and enter the game in person, which greatly changed Selena's impression of him, and she immediately smiled, “Very good, Mr. Jameson… you are very loyal!!”
John Jameson heard this and immediately straightened his chest and said with an arrogant expression: “I am willing to shed blood for Boss, I want to make contributions to the group!!”
Although these words sound a bit nauseating.
But it is the most real thought in Lao Zhan's heart.
There's no way.
It's really that Karl usually gives too much…
To the extent that if they don't take the opportunity to show off at this time, their consciences as subordinates will be condemned!!
“Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, what crazy things are you two talking about?!”
The opposite Eddie Brock couldn't believe his ears, and immediately retorted with a distorted face and hysterically:
“How could he have been kidnapped by me on purpose? I clearly paid attention to him secretly for several days before taking action!”
“That's right.” Selena looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, “I have also been paying attention to you secretly for several days, and my patience is almost exhausted…”
“If I didn't want to ruin Mr. Jameson's plan, I would have caught you back for interrogation a long time ago!”
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
Eddie Brock's mentality collapsed in an instant!
It turned out that the hijacking he had carefully planned was actually a trap that people had set up in advance?
Tell me, who can bear this kind of huge gap?
I'm tired, let's destroy it!
Anti-Venom's consciousness then regained control, looked at the two people on the opposite side, and threatened viciously: “You two better accept the proposal just now by Mount Eddie, otherwise… Pfft!!!”
With a flash of cold light.
Selena had already used the cross sword in her hand to successfully sever Anti-Venom's neck?
