Watching Susan leave angrily, Benjamin hesitated, at a loss.
He didn't know whether to chase after and stop Susan, or call his good brother Reed to come over quickly.
For a moment, he was completely helpless!
"You're a single dog yourself, yet you dare to help others find a partner, tsk tsk --"
"Having a good brother like you, Reed is quite unlucky."
Samuel, who enjoyed watching the excitement, saw Benjamin looking foolish and not knowing what to do, and said a sarcastic remark playfully.
What kind of bad intentions could Benjamin have?
He just wanted to protect his good brother's potential girlfriend from being taken away by someone else.
"Bastard, things turned out this way because of You, and You still dare to gloat!"
Benjamin angrily swung his fist directly at Samuel.
"Bang!"
Before his fist even swung out, his angry expression suddenly froze, and he clutched his stomach, shaking in pain, bending over and gasping for air.
"I'm not taking responsibility for this --"
Samuel didn't narcissistically think that flirting a few times could affect Susan and Reed's relationship.
It was obvious they didn't have much feelings for each other yet.
Susan is so beautiful, she must have many suitors, and the future Dr. Doom, Victor Von Doom, is one of them.
Being flirted with and approached should be common for her, it's impossible for it to affect the feelings and relationship she wants to treat seriously.
In fact, before Benjamin 'meddled', Susan had already shown her attitude.
"I don't have room for Your heart!"
Susan was angry, partly because Benjamin's good intentions backfired.
After all, this is the U.S., where 'Life is precious, love is more precious. If for freedom, both can be abandoned'.
Freedom is supreme, long live freedom!
On the other hand, it should be because Reed is too much of a straight man.
He was late for dates, and not just once. Let alone not being together yet, even if they were, she would be dumped soon. Otherwise, how did Susan end up with Victor Doom after graduation?
Benjamin slowly straightened his back and looked at Samuel. How could this guy, who was so thin and weak, be so good at fighting? Was this Kung Fu?
It really hurt, but he couldn't back down. He adjusted his breathing, preparing for the second round!
Just then, a scruffy, unkempt man jogged over.
"Ben, what happened? I just met Susan, and she told me not to contact her anymore."
"Reed -- he, he hit on Susan, and I said You were Susan's boyfriend, and then Susan -- I'm sorry, brother, I might have messed up." Benjamin lowered his head in annoyance and apology.
He and Reed are both straight men. Straight men have a characteristic or logic, which is being reasonable, or You could say rational.
Samuel hitting on her was just the trigger. What really made Susan angry was him saying Reed was her boyfriend, interfering with her emotional freedom.
When Reed heard this, his mood instantly became complicated. He couldn't blame Benjamin for meddling, after all, it was for his sake, but --
"Never mind, I'll go apologize to Susan, she should forgive me."
"I'll go with You." Benjamin also wanted to apologize to Susan.
Good heavens, Samuel exclaimed good heavens, these two iron straight men are too straight, right?
One thought that apologizing would lead to forgiveness and the matter would be over, the other was even more ruthless, actually wanting to go together?!
If Reed went by himself, he might still have a chance to salvage it, but Benjamin also following --
Is this supposed to be an apology?
This is going to completely mess things up!
Given Reed's personality, if Susan didn't accept Benjamin's apology, or accepted the apology but didn't change her decision, he would definitely say things like 'We've already apologized, what else do You want?' or 'What do You need to forgive us?'
"Cough cough --" Samuel deliberately coughed, and said something to the two men with unfriendly gazes that they didn't expect and found unbelievable.
"There's a job, do You want it?"
Benjamin sneered: "Are You crazy? You hit on his girl -- You hit on the person he likes, and You still want us to work for You?"
Samuel raised two fingers: "Two hundred thousand U.S. dollars."
"..."
Benjamin fell silent.
Samuel took out the Time Controller and introduced it to Reed: "This is the Time Controller. It originally had the functions of storing and viewing images, setting time, viewing, and traveling through different timelines and different parallel Universes."
"Where it came from, You don't ask. Who I am, You don't ask either. Fix it, take the money and do what You want to do, don't cause trouble for yourselves."
"Do You want the job?"
Reed and Benjamin looked at each other. Time Controller? Traveling through different timelines and different parallel Universes?
Is it real or fake?
It sounds a bit far-fetched!
Benjamin didn't quite believe it, thinking they were being deliberately tricked, but Reed believed it somewhat, or rather, as a genius scientist, he was very interested in such a topic.
With his ability, taking apart this Time Controller, whether it was real or fake, would be clear at a glance.
He could take the money first. If it was fake, it wouldn't waste much time. Although he was tricked, with two hundred thousand U.S. dollars, he was willing to be tricked a few more times.
If it was real, it would definitely be a milestone in the history of human technology!
Think about it, if it were possible to travel through time and parallel Universes, humans all over the World, and even humans in countless Worlds, could potentially benefit from it and undergo earth-shattering changes!
