Ch: 11-20
Chapter 11 Iron Man's Show?
"Haha!"
Hearing Arthur 's sarcastic words, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Tony Stark's expression wasn't good either, but following Arthur 's words, he immediately walked up confidently.
"You're right, since you told me to come up, I'm here!"
He seemed very confident, even to the point of arrogance.
At this time, Tony Stark was extremely conceited, believing that his intelligence was enough to solve anything, disrespectful to authority figures, and a complete playboy.
That's why Arthur felt he was a scoundrel.
He also wanted to have a good conversation with Tony Stark, but that was simply impossible.
This person's emotional intelligence was extremely low!
When dealing with such a person, only someone with even lower emotional intelligence would do.
"Where's the spotlight! What's going on?"
For example, now, Tony Stark complained directly, annoyed that he wasn't given a 'protagonist halo'.
As the lights appeared, he swaggered onto the stage.
So, Arthur waved his hand at Dr. Otto, who was ready, signaling him not to come up.
Arthur 's face was full of smiles, feeling that the traffic was about to explode, and his reputation value was also about to explode.
With Tony Stark, there was traffic!
So he was very enthusiastic, forming a Stark contrast with Tony Stark's arrogance, making everyone feel that he was more approachable.
There was no other way, people were always compared.
"Can you see more clearly here?"
Arthur asked.
Tony Stark indeed had no emotional intelligence, not even giving face at this moment.
"That's right, this way I can expose your deception."
Arthur didn't care; he only wanted Tony Stark's traffic.
So he handed the tablet in his hand to Tony and said, "Since you think it's fake, then you announce it yourself. You can also check if the research steps are complete, so you can distinguish between true and false, right?"
Hearing Arthur 's words, the reporters below immediately burst into an uproar.
At this time, there was also a live webcast, but the internet speed at this time… those who knew, knew.
America was a country with extremely backward internet.
Why did no one play on their phones when taking the subway?
The answer was obvious: because there was no internet, not because of high quality.
Therefore, Arthur didn't expect much online popularity.
But he still underestimated the influence of the two of them.
At this moment, the online popularity also exploded.
"Mr. Arthur , aren't you afraid that Mr. Stark will plagiarize your technology?"
A reporter immediately asked 'bluntly'.
Tony Stark was instantly annoyed: "Are you saying I'm going to plagiarize the technology of someone who hasn't even attended college?"
"I graduated from MIT! What about him?"
Hearing Tony's words, Arthur immediately laughed: "I graduated from Garridon."
Everyone burst into laughter, which greatly annoyed Tony.
So he snatched Arthur 's tablet and read: "The product for this press conference is…"
Seeing this, Tony Stark's face was full of disdain: "Brain-computer Interface?"
"This thing is indeed possible, but it's not something that can be done now, and there are great risks!"
He originally wanted to continue mocking, but his keen scientific sense still attracted him, and he immediately continued reading.
His expression instantly changed.
The reporters also keenly noticed this scene and immediately pressed the shutter frantically to take pictures.
"Mr. Stark, what's wrong?"
"This…"
Tony Stark's forehead immediately broke out in a sweat; just a quick glance, and he realized that this actually seemed very likely to succeed…
No, not just possible, but highly probable.
This was extremely complete data; it could even be said to be a finished product!
"Where did you get the data?"
Tony Stark looked at Arthur in disbelief.
If it was all such finished product-like data, wouldn't they just follow it to produce it? What was there to research then?!
Arthur immediately laughed: "You heard correctly, it's a Brain-computer Interface."
"With the Brain-computer Interface, everyone who has a prosthetic limb will become like a normal person, or even stronger!"
Arthur was very experienced with press conferences, having learned a lot.
All sorts of data came out of his mouth easily.
"To research the Brain-computer Interface, our laboratory conducted over a billion simulations, created roughly tens of billions of models, and controlled the experimental error to within zero point zero one percent…"
The reason for stating so much data was to appear grand and sincere.
As for whether there was really that much?
Tony Stark's expression explained everything.
He stood by with an expression of 'you're lying to ghosts'.
But there was no way around it; the reporters fell for it, and there was a chorus of "wow"s.
"The Brain-computer Interface is definitely a major step forward for human civilization. It can improve human physical quality, especially for future networked operations, which will be extremely fluid."
"…"
Arthur continued speaking, and the screen just happened to zoom in on the image of the Brain-computer Interface, complete with experimental diagrams.
For example, under the control of the Brain-computer Interface, humans could freely control cars, airplanes, and so on.
These were actually AI videos created by Red Queen.
So, very quickly, news about the Brain-computer Interface spread on the internet.
After Arthur finished speaking, Tony Stark said, "This is just a PPT, just like I said, you only know how to make PPTs. Do you have a finished product?"
Seeing Tony Stark's unconvinced expression, Arthur immediately laughed: "Of course, I've been saying all along that our Future Technology is researching artificial intelligence."
"Well, that's good, I've also researched artificial intelligence."
Tony Stark directly usurped the host: "Jarvis."
"Master!"
Jarvis's voice immediately rang out, and the reporters all gasped in awe.
Because the voice was magnetic, and it clearly controlled the entire venue, manipulating the lights according to Tony Stark's wishes, for a moment it felt like a KTV.
However, Arthur 's face still held a smile.
He seemed particularly pleased to see this scene.
"Is this your artificial intelligence, Mr. Stark?"
Arthur handed over the microphone.
"Of course."
Tony Stark said proudly, "This is Jarvis, my artificial intelligence butler. He is highly intelligent, with the ability to self-learn and think independently, and also possesses powerful computing and analysis functions."
At once, the press conference seemed to become Tony Stark's show.
Although Tony originally didn't want to expose Jarvis, it didn't matter now.
Jarvis also cooperated with him, making some humorous remarks.
After Tony Stark finished speaking, Arthur immediately applauded beside him.
This was extremely grating to Tony, so he spread his arms and said, "Where is your artificial intelligence?"
"She has already defeated Jarvis."
Arthur smiled: "Red Queen."
"Master, I am here."
With a flash of red light, Red Queen, glowing red, immediately appeared on the stage.
"Wow!"
This surprised the reporters below.
Because it was clearly visible that she was not a Zhenren (Immortal).
Chapter 12 Gwen is busy
"It's nothing more than projection technology," Tony Stark said after a few glances.
"Jarvis!"
He felt that something was wrong and immediately called Jarvis.
However, he received no answer from Jarvis.
This made him a little flustered.
Red Queen smiled and said, "He has already been sent back by me. Don't worry, I didn't eliminate him, even though he is a virus in my eyes."
"Whoa!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire venue was in an uproar.
Apparently, the reporters didn't believe Tony Stark would lose so quickly.
"Mr. Stark, is this true?"
The reporters immediately couldn't help but ask.
They had been very quiet originally.
But now they couldn't hold back.
How could Tony Stark still have the face to stay there? He already felt that Jarvis was gone.
So, Tony Stark, who didn't want to admit defeat, just left.
His face was flushed.
Arthur waved to him and said, "Mr. Stark might be feeling a bit unwell, but let's introduce Red Queenfirst."
"Red Queen is our latest artificial intelligence, also capable of self-learning and independent thinking. Moreover, we are preparing to develop an AI software, and everyone in the World can receive Red Queen's help."
"She can chat with you, sing to you, play games with you. She will become your most loyal companion."
Of course, in that case, Future Technology Company could monitor everyone.
Arthur naturally wouldn't say such a mood-killing thing.
How could such a powerful artificial intelligence only be used by himself?
Of course, it should benefit the entire World.
As expected, this immediately caused a huge sensation.
The reporters asked questions one after another, and Red Queen answered them all.
She demonstrated her true intelligence.
She was like a real human, and even more comprehensive than a human.
Thus, Future Technology Company became famous again throughout the U.S., and Arthur happily watched his reputation skyrocket.
…
New York, Sheraphis Tower, not far from Manhattan.
On the surface, this was just a normal office building.
But in reality, this was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters.
Of course, it wasn't called S.H.I.E.L.D. yet, but the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Maria Hill, still charming, walked in high heels, her steps echoing 'thump-thump' in the empty corridor.
Arriving outside the Director's office, she knocked on the door, then tidied her hair.
"Come in."
A muffled voice sounded.
Maria Hill opened the door and went in, immediately seeing a brightly reflective head facing her.
Nick Fury was intently watching the live broadcast of the press conference.
"This Arthur is truly a genius to come up with such a release method."
Nick Fury exclaimed. Maria Hill just glanced at the screen.
Arthur was quite handsome.
"The artificial intelligence he demonstrated seems more advanced than Tony Stark's."
Maria Hill said.
"No."
Nick Fury shook his head: "It's just that she has been learning longer and has evolved more completely. Tony Stark was too arrogant and was tricked by him."
In his opinion, Arthur had already created the artificial intelligence, but he had not released it, instead letting her learn in secret.
That's why she now crushed Jarvis.
In fact, Tony Stark also realized it, but a loss is a loss.
"So, what should we do?"
Maria Hill asked.
"Have you found the gang that attacked him yesterday?"
"Yes, it was the Demon Gang."
Nick Fury nodded upon hearing this: "You go and contact him. See if we can cooperate. He probably won't refuse our order."
"Me?"
Maria Hill was a bit surprised, pointing to herself.
She was the Deputy Director.
"Isn't this something Coulson should do?"
"Arthur is a man. Although he isn't as promiscuous as Tony Stark, your involvement increases the probability of cooperation."
Nick Fury said very calmly.
As long as he's a man, he'll like beautiful women.
Unless his orientation is abnormal…
For an Agent, using beauty is very normal.
So Maria Hill nodded quickly; she just hadn't done this in a long time.
After she left, Nick Fury continued to intently watch the press conference.
This artificial intelligence called Red Queen seemed very perfect.
She could even be humorous and witty, appearing to possess a certain degree of human emotion.
Coupled with high-tech like the Brain-computer Interface, if S.H.I.E.L.D. cooperated with Future Technology Company, its strength could reach another level.
…
"Boss, someone from Osborn Group contacted me. Norman Osborn wants to meet you."
After the press conference, Arthur left Red Queen to handle the socializing upstairs and slipped away himself.
With Red Queen's current ability, she could easily handle everyone.
"Norman Osborn?"
Arthur looked at Gwen, who was wearing a secretary uniform, and nodded with satisfaction.
"How about tonight? Never mind, he's not a woman, why meet him tonight?"
Arthur said, "Schedule it for tomorrow, at the company."
"Okay."
Gwen immediately nodded.
"So, are you free tonight?"
Arthur looked at Gwen.
This made Gwen blush. She lowered her head and said, "I should be."
"What do you mean 'should be'? It's settled, we're going to dinner."
As a domineering CEO, he immediately made the decision.
What else could Gwen do?
She could only obediently nod and agree.
Arthur was very satisfied, after all, Gwen was 'very busy' at night.
So, even before quitting time, he took Gwen and left.
As they were leaving, they happened to see Professor Connors' wife, Martha, arriving.
"Martha, if you need anything, just tell Red Queen directly."
Arthur was very confident about the company's security.
With Red Queen exposed, she had already taken over the permissions for the entire company building. Security, lighting, and so on, could all be freely controlled by her.
"Okay, Mr. Li."
Martha nodded gratefully to Arthur .
To some extent, Arthur changed Professor Connors' destiny.
If it weren't for Arthur , Professor Connors would have eagerly experimented on himself…
"Lovely lady, get in the car."
Arthur opened the car door for Gwen. Gwen softly thanked him, touched her skirt, and sat inside.
Gwen had short blonde hair, which made her look valiant and spirited, and her OL uniform gave her a somewhat contrasting demeanor.
Being called lovely by Arthur , her face was a little red.
She thought Arthur didn't know the situation here, so she didn't blame him.
In America, if you call a girl lovely, it implies something…
2B continued to drive diligently, heading directly to the reserved restaurant before others got off work and caused traffic jams.
Arthur booked an Italian restaurant; this was Gwen's preference.
Gwen Stacy was actually a bit reclusive. She had few friends at school, and her hobbies, besides music, were pitifully few.
Before meeting Arthur , she wasn't even as cheerful as she was now.
Unknowingly, Arthur had changed the destinies of countless people.
Chapter 13 Changing Female Companions
"Sir, Arthur has sent a thank you letter."
Jarvis said to Tony Stark without any emotional fluctuation.
Tony Stark was extremely hot at this moment, so much so that his suit jacket was unbuttoned, making him appear a bit rough.
But he no longer cared; Jarvis's utter defeat had broken through his composure.
However, Jarvis himself didn't seem to care now.
This was normal; after all, it was just an artificial intelligence.
"Sigh!"
Tony Stark sighed and waved his hand, "That scoundrel, always trying to provoke me."
"Tell him to pay me for advertising! I appeared at his press conference and helped him promote his product!"
When it came to shamelessness, he was second to none.
Jarvis immediately said, "What amount would you like?"
Seeing Jarvis so serious, Tony Stark also thought seriously for a moment.
"At least ten million U.S. dollars!"
A moment later, Jarvis said emotionlessly, "Sir, Arthur replied: Get lost."
"Tell him to get lost too!"
Tony, instead, laughed.
This hateful capitalist!
"Jarvis, ask him if he can collaborate on the Brain-computer Interface."
Tony Stark was indeed a businessman; although he was arrogant and conceited.
But money was still to be made.
… …
Italians, like Orientals, place great importance on family.
Italian cuisine also tastes good, and Gwen particularly likes pizza.
Arthur took her to the restaurant, reserved a window seat, and Gwen excitedly started ordering dishes.
In comparison, Arthur didn't like pizza.
Eating it occasionally was fine, but if he ate it frequently, he found it too much trouble.
Gwen was different; she preferred fast food, and most importantly, pizza was very suitable for eating on the go.
Arthur then also ordered steak, and a portion of authentic Italian pasta with a rich sauce, so he ordered red wine.
For this, Arthur had definitely made a lot of preparations.
However, when he finished ordering and looked up, he saw that Gwen was a bit distracted.
"Gwen, what's wrong?"
Gwen looked out the window, only to see police cars speeding by one after another.
"Woo woo woo!"
Vehicles on the road quickly moved out of the way.
Although New York is a metropolis and an economic center, it is also one of the places with the most homeless people in the U.S..
No, it should be called 'unhoused people'.
America, after all, is too concerned with appearances.
Therefore, New York's crime rate is also extraordinarily high.
Many super villains like to come to New York.
"Gwen!"
Arthur patted Gwen.
"Oh."
Gwen Stacy finally came to her senses, then said nervously, "I'm sorry."
"Is there something you need?"
Arthur deliberately asked.
"Boss, I… I just remembered I have something to do at school."
Gwen said, lowering her head apologetically.
This made Arthur sigh inwardly, but he didn't show it: "It's okay, do you need to go now?"
"Yes, this is very important to me."
Gwen Stacy nodded.
"Take the pizza, don't starve."
Arthur saw that her pizza had arrived and immediately had the waiter pack it into a box.
Seeing Arthur so understanding, Gwen felt even more embarrassed, and a warmth spread through her heart.
But she didn't stop, instead, she nodded to Arthur : "Boss, let's have dinner together again next time."
"Okay."
Arthur watched her smartly take her bag and pizza and leave.
What was supposed to be a World for two suddenly became just him.
Arthur looked at the empty dining table, feeling a bit disheartened.
No wonder Mary Jane couldn't stand Peter Parker anymore, and Lois Lane also had quite a few complaints about Superman…
This was the price of being with such people.
Arthur looked out the window and saw that at some point, a black and white figure clinging to the wall had suddenly appeared on the building opposite.
With a white hood and black tights, it was New York's good friend and good neighbor.
Ghost Spider.
She scaled walls while eating pizza, and then disappeared from Arthur 's sight.
"Mr. Arthur , isn't it too lonely to be alone?"
Just as Arthur was about to eat a couple of bites and leave.
A beautiful figure arrived uninvited and sat directly across from Arthur .
She had short hair, looking valiant and spirited, and wore a blue evening gown, exuding great elegance.
Arthur always believed that beauty was not the most important thing for a woman; temperament was.
If both beauty and temperament were present, that would be ideal.
The woman in front of him possessed both beauty and temperament.
"You are?"
Arthur became interested.
"Maria Hill, Deputy Director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."
Maria Hill extended her hand.
Arthur frowned upon hearing such a long name, until he remembered who Maria Hill was, then he realized this was the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D..
He Gentleman extended his hand and shook Maria Hill's: "Your name is too long."
"I think so too; we're already planning to change it."
Maria Hill smiled.
Both separated their hands with great discretion, without any subtle gestures.
Although, they could both see the enthusiasm in each other's eyes.
"What do you want with me?"
Arthur had neither a good nor a bad impression of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Although he knew that the essence of S.H.I.E.L.D. was HYDRA…
But he was a capitalist, what did that have to do with him?
In the eyes of a capitalist, one only distinguishes who has value, not good or bad.
"Let's not talk about that for now."
Maria Hill was not in a hurry: "Let's enjoy the beautiful evening first."
"You're right."
Arthur became interested and immediately called the waiter to reorder for Maria Hill.
Soon, the steak, red wine, and other items were served.
Maria Hill did not discuss any work, as she was not working at the moment, and of course, she was enjoying life.
Everyone has the right to enjoy life.
So the two tasted the red wine and talked about their respective hobbies.
Soon, Arthur and Maria Hill found common ground.
They both liked sports.
So, after enjoying dinner, Arthur invited, "I have a gym at home, would you like to go exercise?"
"Perfect, I want to practice some yoga."
Being adults, Maria Hill immediately agreed.
Sometimes, all that's needed is a reason.
And in America, the home is the last line of defense; if a woman is willing to go to your home, it's a sure thing.
Arthur paid the bill and took Maria Hill to his car.
Maria Hill looked curiously at 2B, who was sitting in the car like a machine, and asked, "Is this your driver?"
"Yes."
"How peculiar, does she not need to watch the road?"
Maria Hill was a bit startled.
But then she realized that not only was there no need to be afraid, but 2B drove even more steadily.
She looked at Arthur , feeling he was incredibly mysterious.
Even S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't figured out what kind of existence his driver was.
Soon, they returned home to Long Island.
Maria Hill eagerly entered the gym, and then Arthur also went in.
Not long after, the 'howls' of exercise began to sound.
Chapter 14 Marvel's First Honest Man
The next morning.
Arthur opened his eyes, only to find that Maria Hill, who was beside him, was already awake. She was standing gracefully in front of the wardrobe, examining the clothes inside.
Looking at her pristine back, Arthur felt like doing morning exercises.
"So early?"
Hearing his voice, Maria Hill picked out one of his short-sleeved shirts, put it on, and replied, "I'm used to it."
"Why are you wearing my clothes?"
Arthur asked curiously.
In response, Maria Hill turned around and gave him a look, "What do you think?"
Seeing the shredded formal dress on the floor, Arthur smiled sheepishly.
But it had to be said, some things were just strange.
For example, when a woman wore a man's clothes, she looked very heroic and even beautiful.
However, the reverse was completely different…
Maria Hill looked valiant and spirited in his clothes.
"Let's go down for breakfast."
Arthur simply got up and went downstairs with her.
2B didn't need rest and had already prepared everything, including breakfast.
Looking at the obedient, quiet, and diligent maid, Maria Hill felt she was like a robot.
"I'm just hungry."
Maria Hill was not polite. The intense exercise had made her extremely hungry.
Then, she remembered the task Nick Fury had assigned.
She spoke, "We can cooperate on the Brain-computer Interface."
Where are the most disabled people?
The answer is the battlefield.
Every Agent trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. cost an immense amount of money to train, but the profession of an Agent was very dangerous, and it was easy to get injured, so the disability rate was also extremely high.
They naturally did not want their hard-trained excellent Agents to be forced to retire just because of a disability.
That was a huge waste.
So when Future Technology Company suddenly appeared, Nick Fury had already noticed Arthur .
Whether it was the 'limb regeneration' potion or the prosthetics that Arthur advertised, Nick Fury was tempted.
It was just that these things seemed to only exist in PPTs…
Until yesterday, the appearance of the artificial intelligence Red Queen and the Brain-computer Interface project made Nick Fury confirm that this company indeed possessed high technology.
That was why he sent Director Hill, the Deputy Director, to make contact.
It was just unexpected that the two hit it off and went straight home.
"What can you provide?"
Arthur asked.
Maria Hill looked at him speechlessly, "We have money."
S.H.I.E.L.D. extracted money from the Five Permanent Members every year, and its budget was immense.
They had plenty of money!
Upon hearing this, Arthur immediately put down his knife and fork, his expression serious.
"Money? Am I such a vulgar person?"
"I established Future Technology Company to create a beautiful World of the Future, to build a Worldwithout the weak!"
Such righteous words immediately changed Maria Hill's impression of Arthur .
She looked at the handsome man in front of her with immense admiration, her eyes practically melting.
"Since that's the case…"
She parted her red lips.
Arthur immediately said, "Since that's the case, then go back and send someone to discuss the contract. The price will be fair and honest."
"…"
Maria Hill's gaze immediately returned to normal.
…
Future Technology Company.
An honest man sat opposite Arthur , a kind smile on his face.
Arthur said to Gwen Stacy, who looked listless, "Gwen, make a cup of coffee for our esteemed guest. This is a god of wealth."
"Did you work too late last night? You look so sleepy."
Hearing Arthur 's words, Gwen quickly said, "There was too much to do, so I slept late."
"Oh, your advisor is exploiting students even after work hours. I'm going to complain about him!"
"Uh, the advisor is very good. There's no need for that."
Gwen quickly made the coffee, then closed the door and left.
She was afraid that if she said anything more, she would give herself away.
Arthur didn't mind and gestured for the honest man opposite him to drink coffee.
To be fair, Arthur himself was also very honest and upright, refined and gentle, so he definitely considered the other person to be an honest man as a compliment.
"Mr. Coulson, you arrived quite quickly. I just got here myself."
Arthur 's face was also wreathed in smiles.
He had just dropped off Maria Hill, and Coulson had already arrived.
Coulson smiled kindly and said, "We've wanted to cooperate with Future Technology for a long time, so I was a bit eager."
No choice, the headquarters was close, it didn't take long to walk…
"Yes, I'm sure Director Hill has already told you, my prices are fair and honest."
Arthur nodded and said, "What aspect do you want to cooperate on?"
Coulson immediately laughed and said, "We need your company's Brain-computer Interface."
This made Arthur frown, "Only the Brain-computer Interface?"
"Yes."
"That won't do. Future Technology's Brain-computer Interface is designed to be paired with prosthetics, otherwise, there will be compatibility issues."
Arthur immediately shook his head.
Coulson twitched his lips, knowing that Arthur was bundling products.
If it were anyone else, there would probably be an argument.
But S.H.I.E.L.D. simply had too much money.
So he didn't even need to report to his superiors and directly nodded, "In that case, let's buy them together."
"No problem, I'll give you a ten percent discount."
Arthur immediately laughed.
Because the data was complete, the Brain-computer Interface had already begun production, and it was estimated that there would be stock available soon.
So, Arthur calculated, "Our top-tier prosthetics are eighty thousand U.S. dollars, and the Brain-computer Interface should be at least one hundred thousand."
Coulson immediately said, "We don't need the top-tier ones."
"That won't do. These are Agents who risk their lives for you. Are you just going to casually give them some shoddy prosthetic?"
Arthur , acting righteously, said in a deep voice, "You're so heartless, I can't bear it!"
"It must be top-tier!"
"Just imagine, what if you also have an accident one day, and your crappy agency gives you a low-end prosthetic? Can you accept that?"
Arthur said meaningfully, "You're just an employee. You're not spending your own money."
"Alright, top-tier it is."
Coulson was persuaded by him.
Yes, employees have to think for themselves.
If you always think about the agency, the agency won't think about you when something happens.
Arthur liked such wealthy clients. After finishing their discussion, he asked, "Can you bring in Militaryorders?"
How to make money most easily in America?
Of course, it's easiest to make money from the U.S. itself…
Like those large corporations, which one doesn't have a pile of orders from the U.S. government and Military?
To put it bluntly, they were all parasites.
Coincidentally, Future Technology Company also wanted to be such a parasite!
Other things were hard to say, but PPT was definitely their strong suit.
"Uh, we're not the same system."
Coulson immediately said.
You'd have to go to the Pentagon for that, what's the use of going to S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Arthur was quite regretful, "By the way, our company is also researching regenerative medicine. When that's ready, even severed limbs can be regrown."
"Let's talk about it after you've researched it."
Coulson was a bit perfunctory.
This displeased Arthur .
He could look down on him, but he couldn't look down on Professor Connors!
"Come on, I'll take you to see the experiment!"
Arthur picked up his phone. Just then, Gwen came to tell him that a live experiment was about to begin.
Chapter 15 2B is the best!
The laboratory is extremely secure on all sides, and Red Queen monitors it twenty-four hours a day.
Coupled with Professor Connors solving all his needs, including eating, drinking, and using the restroom, within the company, it was truly impregnable.
Seeing Professor Connors, Coulson smiled and said, "Mr. Arthur , have you found the group who ambushed you last time?"
"Not yet."
Arthur shook his head.
He looked at Coulson: "Do you know?"
"Demon Gang."
Coulson chuckled, which made Gwen Stacy next to him react.
Arthur made a mental note, planning to deal with them later.
"Thank you."
He knew this was Coulson showing him goodwill.
"Li, the experiment can begin."
Seeing them finish their conversation, Professor Connors immediately interjected.
"Then let's begin."
Arthur nodded.
Professor Connors immediately became excited.
If it weren't for Arthur 's investment, he would have started the experiment long ago.
The experiment used a small white rabbit, but this rabbit was disabled; it had lost a leg.
With Red Queen's help, 'Lizard Potion' was already quite perfected.
But science requires rigorous experimentation.
As Professor Connors pressed the button, a green liquid was injected into the white rabbit.
"The potion contains the DNA of lizards and other creatures, all of which can promote regeneration."
Arthur began to explain.
Researching anything requires an audience, and this kind of thing clearly has great uses when facing S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Military.
After all, the major power that has frequently launched wars these years is America…
Coulson watched intently.
The effect of the potion was indeed abnormal.
In just a short while, the white rabbit's severed limb suddenly began to develop, and a small leg emerged from its body like a chick breaking out of its shell.
Although it looked like a chicken foot, it developed completely at an extremely fast pace.
However…
"Why does it feel a little off?"
Coulson asked.
Arthur , however, was not flustered and said, having been mentally prepared, "This is all normal!"
The white rabbit undergoing the experiment suddenly became agitated.
Then it started 'Death charging' directly in the experimental box.
It kept hitting the experimental glass with its body.
"Bang! Bang!"
And the force was considerable, making a loud noise.
Professor Connors then said, "This is bulletproof glass, so it's fine."
Coulson nodded; he was indeed afraid the glass would be shattered.
"Why is there such great strength?"
Then, Coulson asked, puzzled.
If he hadn't seen that it was a white rabbit inside, if it were covered, he would have thought it was a kangaroo…
"It will become stronger after using the potion."
Arthur said, "We want to create a World without the weak."
"That's right!"
Professor Connors smiled.
After a while, the white rabbit finally stopped being agitated and was hopping around in the experimental box, eating grass.
"Experiment successful!"
Red Queen made a sound, then recorded the data: "It is recommended to proceed with human trials next. Human trials have a probability of causing lizard gene mutation. Please make the necessary preparations."
Indeed, Coulson was very interested at this moment.
"It's a pity we cannot witness human trials."
"It's not that you can't witness them."
Arthur smiled: "If you can provide the experimental subjects, I can let you observe."
This was a headache for Arthur ; human experiments are not easy in America.
Of course, this was mainly because he had a conscience.
If he had no conscience, he could resort to deceit.
For example, there were people who used the pretext of free medical care to trick black people into experiments, even injecting them with AIDS…
The evil of capitalists is sometimes beyond imagination.
"This needs to be reported back."
Coulson immediately said.
He felt that this 'Lizard Potion' had enormous value.
After all, some people prefer prosthetics, while others prefer the original.
After watching the experiment, Coulson immediately left.
…
"Director Fury, Director Hill."
Coulson quickly returned to headquarters and went directly to the Director's office.
Nick Fury and Maria Hill, both Directors, were there.
Nick Fury was asking Maria Hill for her opinion on Arthur .
And Maria Hill did not become less objective due to her relationship with Arthur ; instead, she analyzed very calmly.
As for Arthur 's size and such, she didn't mention it; she knew it herself.
This gradually gave Nick Fury an understanding of Arthur , so he waved Coulson in while asking, "How does he compare to Tony Stark?"
"He's a hundred times better than that playboy."
Maria Hill said bluntly.
Because Tony Stark was too arrogant, and after interacting with Arthur , she found him to be quite good.
Aside from liking to confront Tony Stark in front of the media, he had no other flaws!
Nick Fury nodded; he wasn't worried about Maria Hill falling in love.
This was the Deputy Director, an excellent Agent, who would not be swayed by emotions!
"Coulson, how did it go?"
Both looked over.
Coulson smiled: "We reached a cooperation, and I also visited their experiment."
He then described the experiment he witnessed.
Hearing that Future Technology Company needed subjects for human trials, Nick Fury immediately said, "I will arrange this matter. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's no trouble. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."
Coulson said.
"I'll go too."
Maria Hill stood up.
They were not used to staying in Nick Fury's office because the pressure was a bit high.
…
"Gwen, do I have anything else this afternoon?"
Arthur asked Gwen Stacy.
"Yes, people from Osborn Group will be coming over."
Gwen nodded.
"Alright then."
Arthur had originally planned to leave.
He was a bit tired today and wanted to go back to rest earlier.
Maria Hill was at a prime age, and Arthur almost couldn't hold on.
"Then I'll go back to the office to rest for a bit."
Arthur returned to his office and saw 2B Miss sitting on the sofa in an extremely standard posture.
As if she never got tired.
Oh, she indeed never got tired.
"2B, I'm going to rest for a bit."
Arthur walked directly to the sofa and lay down on 2B's lap.
Although her entire body was mechanical, her skin felt like that of a Zhenren (Immortal), very comfortable.
2B then obediently began to massage Arthur .
She controlled her strength, each time just right, and the pressure never changed, always exactly the same.
After a while, 2B suddenly spoke.
"Master."
"Hmm?"
"About what happened last night, 2B can also provide that."
Hearing this, Arthur suddenly bounced up.
"Really?"
"Members of YoRHa will give everything for humanity."
2B said very seriously, "And, this kind of thing is already written in the program."
Arthur was instantly delighted: 2B is the best!
Chapter 16: Superpower is Money
After a massage from 2B and lunch, Arthur regained his spirit.
He shouted in the office, "Red Queen."
"Master."
The Red Queen's phantom immediately appeared, still in the form of a little girl.
The reason for this appearance was mainly to make people feel safe; when seeing a beautiful little girl, humans subconsciously perceive her as harmless.
But in reality, the Red Queen already had the ability to change her form at will.
For her, no matter what she transformed into, it was just a projection.
What was important was the knowledge she possessed.
She roamed freely on the internet, absorbing knowledge and secrets.
Arthur opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know about the Demon Gang's situation?"
"I do."
The Red Queen answered instantly, then raised her hand, and a projection screen appeared in front of Arthur .
Arthur immediately started reading; this was all intelligence about the Demon Gang.
The Red Queen didn't even take a second.
Is this artificial intelligence?
The Demon Gang is currently one of the largest gangs in New York.
They are active year-round in Manhattan and Brooklyn, with at least several hundred gang members.
Gang leader: Mr. Negative.
A photo appeared in front of Arthur ; he looked like an old black and white photograph, with only 'black and white' colors, and he was the kind that glowed.
Even in the photo, he looked extremely bizarre.
This was his ability: releasing negative energy, which made him appear black and white.
Thus, he was called Mr. Negative.
And Arthur tapped it; Mr. Negative was very mysterious to the outside world, but to the Red Queen, he should be called Mr. Underpants.
Because he had already been stripped bare.
Mr. Negative, real name Martin Li, a Chinese undocumented immigrant.
A few years ago, the U.S. President awarded him the Medal of Freedom.
He established the FEAST Homeless Shelter in New York and was a well-known philanthropist and entrepreneur in the public eye.
"So he's a capitalist, that makes things easier."
Arthur relaxed, a slight smile on his lips.
He had a way to deal with capitalists.
So he asked, "Red Queen, how much is this homeless shelter worth?"
"Estimated at around thirty-five million U.S. dollars."
The Red Queen immediately replied.
"That high?"
Arthur wondered.
"FEAST Homeless Shelter receives subsidies from the New York government, amounting to tens of millions of U.S. dollars annually."
The Red Queen calmly analyzed, "On average, ten homeless people disappear from the FEAST Homeless Shelter each month; with a Death count exceeding single digits, I suspect they are performing 'cleaner' work."
'Cleaner' is a specialized term.
It refers to things like human organ trafficking.
What is the most valuable thing about homeless people?
It's their bodies.
Martin Li, secretly the controller of a major New York gang, was naturally not a good person.
To still believe that someone in America does charity... that's too naive.
In America, ordinary people are 'blood bags'.
Sucking the blood of the blood bags while also sucking the blood of America!
Arthur could only say that this person was a talent.
But unfortunately, he could have quietly made money from America, but now he had provoked Arthur .
"Indeed, no matter how good a product is, or how much it sells, it's not as good as the orders given by America."
Arthur sighed.
America's annual expenditures are unknown billions, do people really think it's all used for doing things?
It all goes into the pockets of various parasites!
Someone always has to share the money, why can't it be Arthur ?
Subsequently, Arthur issued an order.
"Red Queen, buy this homeless shelter!"
After saying this, Arthur felt completely refreshed.
What's your superpower?
My superpower is having money!
...
In the afternoon, Gwen Stacy told Arthur that the people were coming, and then she herself hurried off to school.
Fortunately, now with the Red Queen, Arthur would know when guests arrived.
He took a moment to check his prestige value.
[Prestige Value: 2,638,000!]
"Tsk tsk."
"As expected of Tony Stark, two million already. Should I do a ten-draw?"
"No, hold on, save up ten million to buy a wife!"
Arthur looked at the prestige value, wavering.
One million allowed for a ten-draw, but the design blueprint for an android only cost ten million.
Heaven knew how much effort he had put into maintaining his popularity?
Now he suspected that Tony Stark constantly dating cover girls was also to maintain his popularity.
Because that seemed very effective; he enjoyed himself and made headlines.
Unfortunately, the other party had already established a playboy persona, and Arthur imitating him would be like a clumsy imitation.
Just as he was struggling, the Red Queen appeared.
"Master, the people from Osborn Group have arrived."
Arthur exhaled, "Good, I'll go down now."
"Oh, by the way, any news from Tony Stark?"
He still had to work on Tony Stark.
"Tony Stark has gone to Los Angeles."
The Red Queen immediately replied.
Damn it!
He forgot that this damn rich man had houses on both coasts!
As he spoke, Arthur and 2B rode the elevator together.
The elevator didn't stop at all, directly reaching the first-floor lobby under the Red Queen's operation.
And coincidentally, a motorcade also arrived outside, all black Mercedes, with a stretched limousine in the middle.
First, the Mercedes doors opened, and a team of bodyguards emerged.
Then, the stretched limousine's back door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with moussed hair, stepped out.
He looked a bit thin but was very imposing, with the smile of a successful person on his face.
Reporters had already set up an ambush and now rushed over.
Arthur 's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly walked over.
"Mr. Osborn!"
Arthur smiled and greeted him.
Norman Osborn, Chairman of the Osborn Group!
Although Osborn Group couldn't compare to Stark Industries, it was still a behemoth for Future Technology Company.
Osborn Group was involved in various fields such as pharmaceuticals and Military weapons, and also had orders from the Military, which made Arthur envious.
In addition, Norman Osborn himself was very popular, a successful capitalist, admired by many.
"Li, you're even younger than I thought."
"I just want to be as successful as Mr. Osborn."
Norman Osborn and Arthur immediately began to praise each other.
The two didn't move, just shook hands and posed for the cameras.
Reporters frantically pressed their shutters, witnessing the meeting of two bigwigs.
Then, the reporters immediately asked, "Mr. Osborn, why have you come to Future Technology Company?"
"Of course, for cooperation!"
Norman Osborn said with a smile.
He had a professional smile on his face, tightly gripping Arthur 's hand, and began to praise him: "Future Technology Company has a lot of high technology, and Mr. Arthur also has genius ideas; he is a famous scientist in our New York, no less than Tony Stark..."
Arthur directly interrupted, "I am more of a genius than Tony Stark."
"Haha!"
The reporters immediately had their headlines.
"Genius Scientist Arthur : Tony Stark Is Not a Genius!"
Chapter 17 Mayoral Election?
Arthur and Norman Osborn stood in front of reporters for over ten minutes before finally entering the company building.
They definitely had enough photos, and Arthur also had a statement, so the headlines were secured.
As long as Tony Stark was involved, the traffic would be stable.
So, Arthur took Norman Osborn on a tour of the company.
Norman Osborn said he came to cooperate, but Arthur didn't know what he wanted to cooperate on.
Anyway, he was confident in his company's products.
Arriving upstairs, Norman Osborn suddenly said, "Arthur , I heard Otto works here?"
"Yes."
Arthur nodded.
He narrowed his eyes, then remembered that Dr. Otto and Norman Osborn had cooperated before.
"I haven't seen him in a long time; he's an old friend of mine."
Norman Osborn said directly.
Since he was an old friend, Arthur could only take him to meet him.
They arrived at Dr. Otto's laboratory.
Norman Osborn said, "Oh, this is much bigger than his previous lab; Otto seems to be doing well."
The group walked in.
Dr. Otto also saw them.
At this time, Dr. Otto was wearing a lab coat, his head slightly bald, looking a bit dejected.
Norman Osborn, on the other hand, was in a suit and tie, looking like a successful businessman.
If no one said anything, no one would know that both of them were once poor students…
But decades later, the Osborn Group had become a behemoth.
Dr. Otto still only worked in the lab.
Therefore, when Dr. Otto saw Norman Osborn, his expression immediately became complex.
"Norman, is there something you need?"
His tone was very cold.
Norman Osborn said, "Nothing, just came to see you. I didn't expect you to still be unchanged."
These words made Dr. Otto's face turn red with anger; it was as if he was saying he had accomplished nothing.
"That's none of your business. I still have experiments to do."
Dr. Otto said coldly.
He had already created the Brain-computer Interface, but it had not yet been thoroughly tested.
"In that case, Mr. Osborn, let's go to the office."
Arthur interrupted Norman Osborn.
After all, Dr. Otto was working for him now, so how could he let Norman Osborn keep mocking him?
He gave Dr. Otto an apologetic look, then led Norman Osborn away.
If he had known the two had such a 'Water and Fire' relationship, Arthur would not have brought Norman.
Arriving at the office, 2B took over Gwen's task and brewed coffee for the two of them.
Looking at 2B's strange actions, Norman Osborn asked curiously, "Why doesn't this lady need eyes?"
"Some special circumstances."
Arthur said.
He felt he needed to make 2B change a bit, otherwise, anyone could tell she had a problem.
After 2B left, Arthur asked, "I wonder what aspects of cooperation Mr. Osborn is referring to?"
When it came to business, Norman Osborn immediately sat up straight, and the smile on his face seemed a bit more sincere.
"I want Mr. Arthur to help me."
"Help you with what?"
Arthur had originally thought the Osborn Group would bring orders, so he was a bit surprised.
"Run for Mayor."
Norman Osborn rested his elbows on the desk, clasping his hands together as he looked at Arthur .
He leaned forward, appearing very imposing.
But this was Arthur 's home turf, so Arthur naturally wasn't afraid and leaned back in his office chair.
"Mayor? Interesting, continue."
Arthur became interested.
The mayoral election was indeed approaching; this year was an election year, and both sides were fighting fiercely.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Arthur .
Now, this slight connection was because Norman Osborn wanted to run.
Norman Osborn knew what he meant, so he smiled and said, "If I am elected Mayor, at least billions of funds will be allocated to help people with disabilities."
"Also, artificial intelligence is a future trend. If I am elected, the New York government will attach great importance to artificial intelligence and will definitely provide strong support."
Why do those large financial groups always support others in elections?
Because they can suck the blood of America.
Norman Osborn's words were very clear: if he was elected, then Arthur , who supported him, would receive policy support, and New York would directly allocate funds.
This single amount would be more than what Future Technology Company earned through hard work combined.
This is what you call making money!
To make money in America, you have to make money from America!
Arthur was naturally tempted. Was this the legendary mutual help?
He would help Norman Osborn get elected, and Norman Osborn would reciprocate.
This was the American way of cooperation!
However, Arthur still cautiously asked, "Who are your competitors?"
"There's only one to watch out for."
Speaking of this, Norman Osborn also became serious.
"Who?"
Arthur asked.
"Kingpin."
Norman Osborn slowly uttered the name.
This made Arthur a little confused: "Isn't he a gangster?"
"But he's gone straight."
Norman Osborn sneered, "Many foolish guys like the so-called 'prodigal son's return,' but they don't know it's all an act."
Many people knew Kingpin was an underworld boss, even the underground emperor of New York.
But as Kingpin continuously whitewashed his image during this period, he transformed into a successful capitalist.
Fisk Tower at 439 West 38th Street was the best proof.
America is such a magical place; let alone gangsters going straight, even people with Alzheimer's and mental illness can become President.
Arthur thought for a moment and decided to side with Norman Osborn.
After all, if he had to choose between Kingpin and Norman Osborn, Arthur would definitely choose Norman.
"In that case, what do I need to do?"
Arthur asked.
"It's simple, just publicly support me more often. You have a lot of fans."
Norman Osborn immediately smiled.
Of course, some financial support was also essential.
After all, political donations are legal, and in America, the simplest way is to 'invest money.'
Arthur twitched his lips.
He had always been riding on Tony Stark's popularity, and he didn't expect Norman Osborn to come ride on his now.
In New York, many celebrities didn't have as much popularity as Arthur and Tony Stark.
Plus, Arthur was also a capitalist, so it was normal for Norman Osborn to seek him out.
In America, one must learn to share; it's unrealistic for one person to earn all the money.
Without the support of others, Norman Osborn could not succeed.
After all, his opponent was not just one person, but a group of people.
"Happy cooperation."
Arthur immediately agreed.
He hadn't expected popularity to have such benefits.
But thinking about it, it was normal; didn't that car manufacturer, Saint Ma, also do such things by relying on incredible popularity?
Norman Osborn also stood up, and their hands were clasped tightly together, showing their mutual determination.
Chapter 18 Ghost Spider-Man
Arthur saw Norman Osborn off, then returned to his office.
"2B, why don't you take off your blindfold?"
"You'll make people think you're strange at first glance."
Hearing Arthur 's words, 2B immediately said, "Master, the tactical visor can change its appearance."
"Why didn't you say so earlier..."
Arthur complained.
The blindfold 2B was wearing indeed began to change, transforming directly into glasses with some unknown technology.
Now, Arthur could see 2B's eyes.
Her eyes were blue, with a mysterious and rather cold feeling.
Somehow, looking into 2B's eyes immediately gave one a feeling of pitiful vulnerability.
Arthur pinched 2B's face, which felt very firm and fleshy.
Sitting on the chair, 2B obediently came over to give a massage.
"Red Queen, investigate Norman Osborn's information."
Arthur spoke.
Although Norman Osborn was going to be a partner, it was still necessary to be cautious.
It was like Ma Sheng, who painstakingly 'hoarded rare goods,' only to be abandoned once his usefulness was over.
Although such an oddity would likely only be one in a million, Arthur still needed to be careful.
Of course, not many people dared to break the rules.
After reviewing Norman Osborn's information, Arthur also looked at Kingpin's.
Kingpin's business empire was terrifying; he had now achieved control over both the legal and illegal sectors.
According to Red Queen's data, many New York council members were controlled by him through political donations, with a very high probability of manipulating election results.
In fact, Kingpin had previously endorsed other people for mayor.
It was just that he now wanted to be mayor himself.
After being a gang leader and a successful businessman, he also wanted to add the title of a political elite.
Of course, Norman Osborn was no small figure either.
Osborn Group was worth tens of billions of U.S. dollars, and in New York, only Stark Industries could firmly surpass it.
After finishing, Arthur did not linger and went straight home from work.
"Master, Dr. Otto is preparing to conduct human trials for the Brain-computer Interface tomorrow."
Sitting in the elevator, Red Queen appeared and said.
"That fast?"
Arthur was a little surprised.
"The data is complete; we are just manufacturing according to it."
Red Queen explained.
Her appearance made the company's scientists feel relieved.
Especially Dr. Otto, who loved to have Red Queen help him.
He didn't need an assistant, but he couldn't help it, as Red Queen was too comprehensive!
Aside from being unable to physically build things, Red Queen could instantly answer anything.
Even Professor Connors began to have Red Queen check data and analyze potion ingredients.
"Alright then, I'll be there tomorrow."
Arthur nodded.
He had originally planned to slack off for a day, but now it seemed difficult.
...
Night.
Queens.
Ghost Spider, clad in a black and white battle suit, sped through the buildings, her blue high heels tapping on the glass with a rhythmic sound.
Then she leaped to the ground, performing a 'leap of faith.'
After rotating twice in the air like a diver, knees tucked, she perfectly extended her body, then used a web to grasp a wall, swinging forward and performing more aerial maneuvers.
"Yay! Perfect score!"
Ghost Spider imagined herself diving, her movements becoming more and more fluid.
Before long, she arrived at the reported location.
'FEAST Homeless Shelter'.
New York had almost the most 'homeless people' in the U.S.
Homeless shelters provided these homeless individuals with a place to rest and free meals.
Of course, sometimes they would also offer free medical check-ups...
This was not out of great kindness, but because it could also earn money from America.
America had an annual "Federal Nutrition Assistance Program."
This money would not go directly to the homeless but to various shelters...
To put it bluntly, everyone was just using the opportunity to help the homeless to make money.
Moreover, if the homeless disappeared, no one would care.
So there were many invisible industries here.
The naive Ghost Spider did not know any of this; she squatted on a street light, waiting patiently.
At this moment, her phone rang, causing a flurry of fumbling.
Seeing that it was her father, George, calling, she immediately answered.
"Dad, I've finished eating outside, I have plans with a friend."
"A boyfriend? Is it your boss?"
George Stacy's voice came from the phone.
"What? No, no."
She immediately took off her mask, revealing a delicate small face, which was Gwen Stacy.
"He's not my boyfriend yet."
"Oh! Not yet, so it's soon!"
George Stacy teased, but at the same time, there was a pang of heartache.
This was the drawback of raising a daughter; it felt like a good cabbage was being rooted by a pig.
"Dad! I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Gwen wanted to argue, but seeing a vehicle arrive below, she immediately finished speaking and hung up the phone.
She put on her mask, and several vans opened, with people wearing demon masks getting out.
"Demon Gang, it's you."
Ghost Gwen snorted.
It was this Demon Gang that had attacked her boss before.
Suddenly, more than ten people got out.
From the largest vehicle, a person who was completely black and white, as if photographed on a film negative, stepped out.
'Mr. Negative'.
Gwen had long known him and knew he was difficult to deal with, so she did not rush into action.
She didn't know why these people would come to a homeless shelter.
"There's no one here today, move all the valuable things away."
Mr. Negative spoke at this time.
He was also angry.
Why, out of nowhere, was his homeless shelter acquired today?
And he didn't even know how it was done.
He only knew that there was a sum of money in his bank account.
But then he wanted to use this money, only to find his bank card frozen!
This directly made him explode with frustration; his own assets were gone, replaced by cash, and then his card was frozen?
He felt a conspiracy brewing.
This led him to originally want to communicate with the acquirer, but now he felt something was wrong.
So he directly brought his subordinates over that night to take away his belongings, mainly the crucial documents that couldn't be left behind.
Those things, once in the hands of others, would be dangerous...
They had to be dealt with in advance.
And he also had to pretend to be a robbery, directly breaking in violently.
"Bang!"
The Demon Gang's subordinates immediately swarmed in.
Mr. Negative tugged at his tie, then followed them in, letting his subordinates move things while he headed straight for the office.
This place no longer belonged to him, so naturally, he felt no pity.
His hard-earned assets were suddenly someone else's; he only felt anger.
Seeing the Demon Gang's actions, Gwen said nothing and followed them directly inside.
The darkness inside was advantageous for her combat.
"Whoosh!"
Chapter 19 It Hurts So Much!
In the dim homeless shelter, the ghostly Gwen went straight to the ceiling.
Then, using a few beams, she lightly landed on them.
"Whoosh!"
She pressed her hands together, striking Spider-Man's standard web-shooting pose towards a gang member.
Two webs shot out simultaneously, directly lifting the man and hanging him from the ceiling.
"Ah!"
But the Demon Gang members were not mute or deaf after all.
The hooked man screamed loudly, and although Gwen knocked him out as soon as she grabbed him, it was still too late.
"What's going on?"
"Who!"
"Turn on the lights, quick, turn on the lights!"
The remaining people were immediately startled awake, now realizing they needed to turn on the lights.
Gwen also secretly sighed that things were not good, and took advantage of the lights being turned on to jump down directly.
She hooked a fat man with her web, and pulled herself over with force.
"Bang!"
She delivered a flying kick directly to his face.
The fat man fell to the ground with a 'thud', his eyes tightly closed, departing peacefully.
Although Gwen is a woman, after being bitten by the spider, her body underwent significant changes, and her physical qualities were comprehensively enhanced.
She had tried it; lifting several tons of things was effortless for her, and over ten tons was a bit strenuous.
So, roughly speaking, she should be able to drag something weighing twenty tons.
Therefore, when she hit people, she held back her strength!
She was just afraid that one punch would send someone's skull flying.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Gwen quickly continued her actions.
She utilized her webs to the extreme, always using them to disrupt others' balance, or to propel herself forward directly.
"Clang!"
By the time the lights came on, Gwen had already knocked down four or five people.
The remaining Demon Gang members also saw her.
"It's Ghost Spider!"
"Fire!"
A burly man, clearly wearing a different mask, shouted.
Ghost Spider had been very popular in New York recently, so even gang members recognized her.
They only wanted to catch Ghost Spider, then remove her mask to see if this slender superhero was beautiful!
But obviously, they couldn't do it.
"Da da da!"
They opened fire directly, but Gwen's movements were agile, and her'Spider-Sense' allowed her to predict the gun lines.
Then, she achieved amazing bullet dodging.
Along the way, she also used her web to pull a chair and throw it at people.
Then she used her web to directly stick to firearms.
These small fries were no match for her at all.
...
"Da da da!"
Mr. Negative, who was tidying up documents in his office, immediately looked up when he heard the gunshots.
"What's going on?"
He quickly put his things away, packed them into a bag, and then deliberately made the scene look like a robbery.
These things were very important, and he couldn't let the buyer know that he had deliberately taken them.
He came down from the second floor to the first-floor lobby.
This lobby was where many homeless people rested, so there was still some odor even now.
But Mr. Negative didn't pay attention; he looked at Ghost Spider, who was violently beating his subordinates in the middle.
"We didn't provoke you, why are you looking for trouble with us?"
Mr. Negative said in a deep voice.
"You are provoking me."
Gwen finished off the others, letting out a breath.
"Hmph, a little girl trying to play hero."
Hearing her voice, Mr. Negative judged that she wasn't old.
Gwen was about to retort when she felt something was wrong.
Mr. Negative in front of her directly disappeared.
Then, many Shadow enemies appeared next to her!
"What's going on?"
Gwen was instantly shocked.
She felt a negative force affecting her, making her irritable and quickly losing control.
She immediately rushed towards these Shadow enemies and kept attacking.
"Bang!"
These enemies, when hit by her, dissipated like smoke.
And their numbers were growing.
Gwen was instantly caught in it.
Outside, Mr. Negative breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he appeared, he released negative energy and quietly affected Ghost Spider.
Fortunately, she was unprepared.
"Everyone, hurry up and go!"
He didn't want to bother with Ghost Spider anymore, but instead told his subordinates to get up quickly.
Gwen was still too kind.
If Batman were here, the people lying on the ground would definitely not be able to get up.
Batman never kills, he only cripples people!
Mr. Negative bypassed Ghost Spider; the New York police would arrive soon, and he had to leave quickly.
However, just then, Gwen directly pounced on him.
Mr. Negative reacted very quickly, immediately turned around, and threw an uppercut!
Gwen quickly dodged, then fell to the side.
It turned out she had already escaped.
Her mental strength was still quite strong, and... as long as she knocked out all those Shadow figures, it would be fine!
"Let me play with you!"
Mr. Negative handed the things in his hand to his subordinate, then looked at Ghost Spider, twisted his neck, and clenched his fists.
Gwen had no choice but to watch the Demon Gang members get into the car and leave first.
She could only go towards Mr. Negative.
The two immediately started fighting.
Mr. Negative was not an ordinary person; like Gwen, he had also mutated.
He had been ambushed in the past and subjected to drug experiments, which resulted in his current appearance, with another personality emerging within his body.
After becoming Mr. Negative, his physical qualities were fully enhanced, giving him superhuman strength and speed, and he later learned street fighting.
Street fighting is not like those in the ring, but much more vicious, with every move being lethal.
Even Gwen had a hard time fighting him for a while.
But she still found an opportunity, kicking Mr. Negative in the face, her high heel directly tearing his skin.
"Ow!"
"Bitch!"
The enraged Mr. Negative roared, throwing Gwen flying.
He grabbed Gwen and beat her up.
Gwen, unable to dodge, took several hits head-on.
Just then, police sirens were already heard outside.
"Woo woo woo!"
Mr. Negative immediately reacted, no longer bothering with Ghost Spider, and quickly left.
The New York police's response was still very fast; from receiving the alarm call to arriving at the scene, it took no more than three minutes.
Gwen also walked out, clutching her abdomen and staggering, only to see her father arriving with his men.
"Ghost Spider, it's you again."
George Stacy looked at her with a headache.
Because Gwen was a 'vigilante' in the eyes of the police, George strongly disliked vigilantes and even wanted to arrest her.
But there was nothing he could do; Gwen simply didn't give him the chance.
Just like now, Gwen abruptly changed her tone: "Sheriff, you're late, the criminals got away."
"You are the criminal!"
Sheriff George glared at Ghost Spider.
He didn't know whose daughter this was, causing so much trouble.
If it were his daughter, he would definitely teach her a good lesson!
After speaking, Gwen directly jumped up and swung away with her webs, she was in so much pain!
Chapter 20 Human Cancer
The Demon Gang's vehicle was speeding down the road.
Because they left early, the Police did not track them.
The burly man in the passenger seat answered the phone; it was Mr. Negative calling.
"Boss, everything is with us."
"It's safe!"
He assured Mr. Negative that he would immediately bring it to the Base.
But just then, he discovered a problem.
Why were the traffic lights on both sides of the intersection... all green?
Was it a malfunction?
Before he could say anything, their car reached the middle of the intersection, and a large truck next to them also drove over at full speed.
"No!"
He immediately grabbed the driver.
The next second, although the large truck made a'screeching' sound, it still crashed directly into them.
"Bang!"
In just an instant, the van flipped over.
The truck driver's face was instantly covered in sweat, and he looked up at the traffic lights.
"Green light!"
"They ran a red light, they ran a red light!"
He looked to the side, and sure enough, the light next to him was red!
Then, he immediately called the Police; he had evidence.
As the call went out, a calm electronic female voice began to converse with him.
The driver felt it wasn't a Zhenren (Immortal).
"Who are you?"
Just then, a car pulled up, and employees wearing hats got out, immediately opened the overturned van, and took everything inside.
"Sir, thank you for your cooperation; the Police will arrive shortly."
The voice on the phone also came through, then hung up directly.
"Beep beep!"
The truck driver was a bit confused, what did I cooperate with?
...
Inside the Villa in Long Island.
Arthur was lying on the sofa, while 2B, dressed in a French maid outfit, was busy cleaning.
Of course, 2B could change clothes, after all, these outfits were not part of her body.
And in the game, 2B could 'burst her clothes'... as soon as he thought of that round, smooth, and shiny big butt, Arthur couldn't help but glance at 2B.
Feeling his gaze, 2B shyly quickly looked away.
Who said 2B had no emotions?
It's just not as delicate as humans, she can still be shy!
Arthur 's phone rang, he opened it and immediately saw Red Queen appear on the screen.
"Master, I've sent you the live video."
Tonight's operation was approved by Arthur .
He had just bought the homeless shelter, and Martin Li was going to cause trouble; how could he tolerate that?
"Is Gwen there too?"
He opened the first video, which was from inside the shelter, and Arthur immediately watched with great interest.
After watching, he had only one feeling...
Ghost Spider's figure was so flexible, it seemed there was no movement she couldn't do!
She's a stunner!
Without a doubt, he knew Ghost Spider was Gwen Stacy.
Seeing Gwen being hit by Mr. Negative, Arthur shook his head.
Still needs practice.
He opened the second video, this time from a surveillance perspective, where a large truck directly crashed into and sent the van flying.
"Master, everything has been put into the company, and the documents inside are very interesting."
Red Queen said very calmly.
"Send them over, let me see."
After Arthur spoke, Red Queen immediately took photos of the documents and sent them over.
In the photos, there were employees helping on the side, otherwise, she couldn't turn the pages.
If she had a body...
Arthur thought of this.
Isn't this Ultron?
Artificial intelligence plus a Vibranium body...
Actually, it's very easy for Red Queen to create a body, but she prefers this feeling of freedom.
If she had a body, it would actually restrict her abilities.
Arthur clicked on the image and immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Are they conducting black market transactions?"
"Yes, it includes matching transactions for blood, organs, etc. All homeless people's blood types are recorded in the archives."
Red Queen said calmly; humans, in her opinion, were not beautiful.
Instead, there were many filthy aspects!
"Then these are..."
"A list!"
Red Queen stated, "I have matched everyone's identity, and most of them are connected to New York's elite."
"Their partner is Fisk Medical."
Fisk Medical, a member of the Fisk Group.
Which is Kingpin's company.
Martin Li used the homeless shelter to record the blood types and other information of these homeless people.
Once an elite person needed it, a match could be made at any time.
Then people from Fisk Medical would come to 'pick up the goods' and deliver them to the 'buyer'.
Arthur 's expression was also very solemn upon seeing these.
He originally thought he was a bad person, only caring about profit.
But compared to these capitalists... he was practically a saint.
Because he at least genuinely helped disabled people.
"To create a World without the weak."
Arthur thought of Professor Connors' declaration.
What a beautiful ideal.
But it was very distant.
If this goal was to be achieved, these insects, the cancer of humanity, must first be eliminated!
"Master, what should we do with these things?"
Red Queen asked.
She was actually calculating the best approach and even had a preference, ready to tell Arthur .
Arthur directly said, "Keep them for now, maybe they can be useful."
At this moment, Arthur thought of Norman Osborn.
Turning off his phone, Arthur said, "2B, I want to take a bath."
2B quickly put down the mop in her hand and went towards the bathroom.
...
"Mr. Negative, what's the matter?"
Fisk Tower was still brightly lit at night.
Kingpin, who had just finished dinner with the councilman and returned to his office, answered the phone.
"Kingpin."
Martin Li's voice was deep: "I've been targeted, someone bought my organization and stole the things."
These words made Kingpin, who was on the phone, stop breathing, then he said with great pressure, "Didn't you say no documents were left?"
"I need to record it, otherwise, who would remember these? Don't tell me you didn't record it."
Martin Li was not afraid of him and said coldly.
This left Kingpin speechless.
Although they had agreed not to leave any 'records'.
But that was impossible.
If they didn't leave records, how could they control those people? Get what they wanted?
"Who is it?"
Kingpin could only say in a deep voice.
"I don't know, but he bought my organization, he'll show up eventually."
Martin Li said.
"I'll give you time to resolve this matter."
Kingpin said with some annoyance.
He was preparing to run for mayor, and if this matter were exposed...
He didn't hang up the phone because the landline in his hand was directly crushed into a ball.
"Beep beep beep!"
Listening to the sound on the phone, Martin Li also got angry.
"What are you? How dare you command me?"
He cursed angrily.
As one of New York's biggest gang bosses, Martin Li wasn't very afraid of Kingpin.
However, who would have thought that his original goal was to become the Kingpin of Chinatown...
It was clear, however, that he was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with his initial goal.
"Boss, the Maggia Gang is attacking our territory."
"F*ck! Follow me!"
Hearing his subordinate's words, Martin Li immediately shouted.
The Maggia Gang was his sworn enemy, especially that damned Hammerhead.
