"That's good, I understand."
Hearing that he wouldn't be able to contact or interact with the outside world for at least three months, Reed hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
He had originally promised to help Adam research gravity equipment, but had planned to postpone it because he had messed with Doom. Now, Adam had cleaned up his mess and solved Doom Corporation's problems.
Let alone three months; even three years would be appropriate.
He was somewhat hesitant, only because he couldn't bear to part with Susan.
But thinking about it carefully, Susan and he had broken up a long time ago. She now had her own boyfriend and was doing better than when she was with him, so why bother to disturb her life again?
After hanging up the phone and bidding a simple farewell to Susan, Ben, and Johnny, he left the hospital and returned home to pack his things before heading to Osborn Corporation's research Base.
Not long after Reed left the hospital, Susan, who was resting in her ward, also called Doom.
"Viktor, let's break up.
Also, I've decided to resign."
She was originally with Viktor just to spite Reed, not because she truly liked Viktor.
However, Viktor's proposal to her at the space station last night had indeed moved her.
After talking with Wanda during the day, she had already made up her mind to completely forget her feelings for Reed. That night, she happened to be caught up in Viktor's proposal. If no accident had occurred, she really would have accepted.
Having been together for several years, Viktor had indeed been very good to her; to say she had no feelings at all would be lying to herself.
Unfortunately, when the Solar Storm arrived, she finally saw Viktor for who he truly was.
Viktor did like her, but he loved himself more, and their values didn't align. If they truly stayed together, they would inevitably separate in the future.
When the Solar Storm arrived, their classmate Ben was outside installing machinery. She wanted to save Ben, but Viktor actually stopped her, wanting to directly lock Ben outside the space station, regardless of his life or death.
Later, when she insisted on leaving to save Ben, Viktor, to protect himself, closed the protective capsule without waiting for them to return.
So, after waking up, she had already made up her mind to resign from Viktor's company and completely end this already absurd relationship.
"Why? Are you worried that my company will go bankrupt?
Susan, don't worry, Adam has already decided to cooperate with us as our new investor. The company will only get better and better, and I will become richer and richer."
Hearing Susan's words, Viktor's voice immediately changed.
He thought Susan was breaking up and resigning because she believed he was going bankrupt.
However, his words only solidified Susan's decision to leave:
"I know. Reed just told me. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have made this decision so early."
"Is it because of Reed? Have you rekindled your old flame with him?"
Doom's tone changed from anxious to angry.
Susan's tone also became cold:
"There's no future for me and Reed, Viktor. I've just seen you clearly, that's all."
After speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for Viktor to explain further.
"I really was blind. Forget it, I'll relax a bit and then find a suitable new job."
She believed that with her abilities, finding a new job wouldn't be too difficult.
Just as she hung up the phone and reached for the cup on the table to drink some Water and calm her anger, she suddenly let out a scream, knocking over the cup and spilling Water everywhere.
"What's going on? Did my eyes really have a problem?"
For a moment, she saw her arm disappear, leaving only a cup floating in the air.
But after her scream, her arm reappeared.
So she suspected she was just seeing things.
On the other side, her brother Johnny, after flirting with a pretty young Nurse, disregarded the Doctor's advice, put on his skiing gear, and went skiing with the beauty he had arranged to meet.
As for Doom, who was still handling company affairs, he smashed his phone directly to the ground in anger after Susan hung up.
However, at the moment he smashed the phone, several faint electrical arcs flickered between his fingers.
Eleven o'clock at night.
Adam, who had just finished Training with Wanda, received a call from Susan.
"Mr. Adam, could you please help me find Ben?"
"What happened to Mr. Ben?"
Adam's heart stirred, and he roughly guessed that the several people had undergone genetic mutation after being swept by the Solar Storm, and their physical abilities had awakened.
As expected, Susan quickly recounted the events.
It turned out that after hanging up with Doom, she realized that she wasn't seeing things, but had indeed gained the ability to make her body Invisible. She guessed that her body might have been affected by the Solar Storm.
Not long after, her brother, wrapped in a girl's cotton jacket, also ran back. He had also awakened the ability of Fire, and while skiing, his entire body burst into flames, burning all his clothes.
Finally, there was Ben. When the siblings found Ben's room, they discovered a large hole in the wall and Ben had disappeared.
Her first thought was to call Reed, but she found Reed's phone unreachable, then remembered that Reed had already gone to a closed laboratory.
Then she called Doom, but Doom's phone was also unreachable.
After thinking about it, she could only call Adam.
Ben's body must have also developed some symptoms, and calling the police would only make the situation worse. Finding Adam, the head of the Superheroes, might actually be better.
Moreover, Adam might be able to give them some advice and help regarding the abilities they were now exhibiting.
"I understand. I will go look for Ben. Your current situation is somewhat similar to when Mutant awaken their abilities.
I'll give you an address. Come find me at this address tomorrow morning. I'll find specialized people to examine you and teach you how to control your abilities."
He had already decided that, apart from Doom who needed to run his company, the now awakened Fantastic Four would definitely all be brought into the League of Heroes.
Once developed, the Fantastic Four all possessed strength not inferior to Level 4 Mutant, which made them top-tier among all the Superheroes in the League of Heroes.
If classified according to the hero grade system he had now established, they could already be considered A-rank Superheroes.
Most importantly, the Invisible Woman—he definitely wouldn't let her go.
As long as the Invisible Woman was brought into the League of Heroes, then the person she found in the future would inevitably also be a Superhero from the company. At that time, both of them would be his people, and the omnipotent child they gave birth to would naturally also be his person.
After hanging up with Susan, he took a shower and flew to Ben's girlfriend's house.
Before this, he had anticipated this situation and had already investigated Ben and Ben's girlfriend, including their residential addresses.
He knew Ben must have gone to find his girlfriend.
