After Eddie and Dora parted ways.
He looked in the direction of San Francisco's city center, a contemplative expression on his face, and turned to walk towards the suburbs.
Then his expression changed, and his body involuntarily twisted.
"Hungry!"
"I want to eat something!!"
A low voice erupted from his mind.
"What?"
Eddie was stunned. It was that voice again.
This time, he was certain. It wasn't a hallucination. There really was someone else living inside his body.
"What do you want to eat?"
Eddie couldn't bring himself to smile. He looked helpless and spread his hands. "Seriously? Now you want to eat something?"
He suddenly remembered swallowing a person's head when he'd forced his way out of the research facility.
His expression darkened, and his stomach clenched.
"Don't tell me you want to eat people..."
Before he could finish the sentence...
Whoosh!
His body started running uncontrollably, at an extraordinary speed.
"Shit!!"
New York.
Daily Bugle.
Anton received an email. After reading the information, he immediately contacted Phil and told him to go to a certain place in San Francisco to pick up a woman.
The woman was Dora Skirth.
Afterwards, Dora told Anton and Phil everything she knew, without any concealment.
Under Anton's instructions, Phil wrote a news article of several thousand words.
The article was filled with emotion, and laid bare the entire incident, as well as Carlton Drake's ambitions.
However, it omitted the part about the aliens, the Symbiotes.
It used "mysterious experiment" as a substitute.
Of course, based on Dora's descriptions and his own imagination, Phil portrayed a supervillain, detailing how Drake had harmed lives, how he didn't consider the homeless as people, how he used researchers' families as threats, and how cold and ruthless he was.
After this article was finalized, it was posted on the Daily Bugle's official website as quickly as possible.
Then, in an already boiling public opinion environment, the news report was constantly reposted, and the number of clicks quickly exceeded one hundred million.
No one doubted the authenticity of the article.
With this exposé, the Daily Bugle became a champion of justice and was hailed as "the last conscience of the newspaper."
The Daily Bugle, already highly respected by the people of New York, had become the number one news source in the eyes of New Yorkers, and even the entire American public, thanks to this incident.
Osborn Tower.
"Well done, Anton! I knew I could trust you!"
Norman Osborn, sensing the shift in online public opinion, which seemed to be the final straw that broke the camel's back, crushing any remaining chance for the Life Foundation to turn things around, was overjoyed. He couldn't help but praise: "Jameson, you found a perfect successor."
With public opinion in an uproar and the internal dealings exposed, even the politicians who were friendly with Drake couldn't protect the Life Foundation, and could only watch as things spiraled out of control.
It was easy to imagine that the one with the ability to clean up the mess would be Osborn Industries.
Norman thought for a moment, then called his secretary to submit the acquisition of the Life Foundation as a formal agenda item to the board members.
He planned to unify the internal power of speech within Osborn Industries as quickly as possible.
Then take down the Life Foundation.
"Aliens... Symbiotes..."
Norman's harsh face revealed a rare smile.
Previously, he was also one of the audience members at the press conference held by Drake.
But what pleased him the most wasn't Drake's passionate speech, but the sudden accident at the end of the conference.
That is, the scene of Eddie kicking down the iron door.
"Symbiotes..."
Fire ignited in his eyes: "I must obtain them."
After some thought.
He pressed a button on the desk.
A bodyguard outside the office came before him, respectfully saying, "Boss, what are your orders?"
"Take people to San Francisco. You must find that person before Drake."
Norman ordered, "If you fail, don't bother coming back! Osborn Industries doesn't keep useless people."
"Understood."
The bodyguard nodded solemnly. …
"It's already dark!"
Anton looked at the stars outside the window and sighed.
He'd been exhausted these past few days.
He'd used more brain cells than he had in the previous twenty years combined.
He'd been eating and sleeping at the Daily Bugle, barely leaving the office, looking like a workaholic.
Betty was incredibly surprised, thinking Anton had changed.
"I should finally be able to rest a bit today."
Anton left the Daily Bugle and drove home, only to find that Jonah Jameson still wasn't home, which made him twitch his lips.
The retirement life of the rich was truly enviable.
Anton was thrilled at the thought of living like this in a few decades.
Time passed quickly.
These days, the Daily Bugle had stopped hounding the Life Foundation, only occasionally releasing news articles to follow up on the situation.
As a hot topic, these articles received a considerable number of clicks.
Even the Daily Bugle's newspapers sold more than usual, making a significant profit.
The Life Foundation seemed to accept the situation and conceded, not reacting at all.
But Anton knew that the Life Foundation wasn't doing nothing; they just didn't care about these idle gossips.
They were hunting Eddie.
For this, Anton was helpless.
With Eddie's current abilities, dealing with the Life Foundation's pursuit wouldn't be a problem.
Anton could only compensate Eddie in terms of money.
He wired Eddie a huge sum of money for living expenses; this was all Anton could do at the moment.
He couldn't expect Anton to personally step in and help Eddie fight, could he?
He hadn't yet mastered the Batman armor. If he recklessly ran off to San Francisco, who knew who would be helping whom!
It was worth mentioning that Eddie's identity couldn't be hidden at all under the Life Foundation's full investigation.
Including Dora.
Inside the Life Foundation, they'd figured out exactly how Eddie and the other person escaped.
Drake was furious about this, but he didn't make any public statements.
Instead, he waved his hand and released the families of the senior researchers, as if to show his sincerity in this regard.
The implication was, "I'll take the criticism."
During this time, Anton finally received some good news.
The movie was finished!
After nearly three months, Batman Begins had finally entered the post-production phase.
In his previous life, Nolan took 129 days from the start of filming to completion. Anton, standing on the shoulders of giants, spent about 90 days, the difference wasn't that big.
Post-production was another matter altogether.
Simply put, it was all about editing, dubbing, adding subtitles, and special effects.
The most time-consuming part, special effects, Anton had prepared simultaneously during filming. Now, he only needed to add the effects shots according to the footage, which turned out to be the easiest part.
He had the editor bring the footage to New York, and Anton buried himself in the editing room.
After discussing the editing ideas with the editor for an entire day and finalizing an approach, he worked with incredible speed. In just three days, he cut a 140-minute blockbuster.
The dubbing and subtitle work didn't require Anton's involvement.
Seeing the final cut, he breathed a sigh of relief, a sense of accomplishment welling up inside.
When Jim arrived in New York and saw the finished product, he was equally surprised.
Jim never expected that a hastily made movie wouldn't show any signs of being rushed. Instead, many shots seemed premeditated, captivating the audience.
This only happens when the director's mind is clear and brimming with inspiration.
"Anton, you're a genius."
Jim complained to Anton, but the moment he finished watching the final cut, his complaints vanished.
"Thank you. Now, the important thing is to find a distributor and increase the publicity."
Anton said.
"The Batman novels have a high reputation in New York. You played a good move." Jim said, "I recommend holding the premiere in New York. If you can invite Tony Stark, it will be much easier for us."
"Of course."
Anton revealed a mysterious smile: "This is a movie invested in by Tony, he will definitely come."
