Early the next morning.
A plane landed at San Francisco Airport.
Anton walked out of the airport and stood at the curb, waiting for a taxi.
"Hey, you need a ride?"
A familiar voice sounded beside him.
"Sure."
Anton smiled and walked to the passenger seat, looking at the driver beside him: "Eddie, you seem to be doing well lately."
"Yes, although there were a few misunderstandings before, I get along well with him now."
Eddie nodded. His face didn't show the fear he'd had when he first bonded with the Symbiote. He even introduced the Symbiote in his body to Anton, saying, "It's called Venom."
"Hello, Anton. You smell delicious."
Suddenly, Eddie's face changed, revealing a terrifying visage.
Sharp fangs and a gaping maw were frightening to behold, and a long, snake-like tongue flickered in and out, like a demon just arriving on Earth from hell for a vacation.
Though it was difficult to tell, Anton understood that Venom was saying hello.
"Hello, Venom."
Anton was expressionless, pointing in front of him. "You're about to crash."
"Oh, a little problem!"
Venom retreated back into Eddie's body. Eddie, accustomed to this, calmly adjusted the steering wheel.
Screech! Screech! Screech! A bizarre drift narrowly avoided the vehicles ahead.
"Hey, fuck you, watch where you're going!"
Ignoring the greeting from behind, Eddie continued driving, heading straight ahead.
"How have you been lately?"
Anton laughed. "The Life Foundation has been thrown into disarray. Carlton Drake won't have many good days left. With the Osborn Corporation pulling strings, he'll be going to prison soon."
"Osborn?"
Eddie narrowed his eyes, turning to look at Anton. "There's something I wanted to tell you, Anton."
"About Osborn?" Anton frowned.
"That's right."
Eddie nodded, his expression turning serious. "Among those who've been hunting me recently, besides the Life Foundation, there's also Osborn."
"So Osborn knows about the Symbiotes."
Anton frowned slightly, a bit of a headache forming.
Osborn Corporation and the Life Foundation weren't on the same level.
If the Life Foundation could only run wild in San Francisco, Osborn Corporation had the capital to be domineering across the entire United States.
It's not that I'm afraid of Osborn Corporation, it's just that dealing with pressure from two major companies will make this whole thing incredibly complicated and difficult to coordinate.
"Don't worry, neither of them poses a threat to us."
Eddie was very calm. Possessing Venom, he knew how powerful he was. He emphasized, "Our only opponent right now is Carlton Drake."
"You mean?"
Anton was thoughtful.
In recent days, the two hadn't stopped communicating, often exchanging emails.
Anton had a certain understanding of Eddie's situation, and combined with the memories in his mind, he had a pretty good grasp of the situation.
As the memory showed, there were millions of Symbiotes in space.
Besides Venom, there were countless other Symbiotes drifting in space, waiting for their kin who had already descended to Earth to bring them here and then rule the planet.
Carlton Drake's spaceship just happened to become their hope.
According to Venom, it wasn't that Drake discovered them; rather, they found Drake.
"That's right. According to Venom, seven of their kind were brought to Earth by the spaceship. But the ship crashed in Malaysia, and the Life Foundation only recovered six, including Venom."
Eddie stated seriously, "There's another Symbiote that was left behind in Malaysia. It's called Riot."
"You mean, Riot is very likely already in San Francisco?"
Anton recalled the plot in his mind and suddenly understood, "He wants to help millions of alien Symbiotes occupy the Earth?"
"Yes."
Eddie was straightforward, "Venom has promised me that he's willing to help me solve this problem so we can coexist peacefully on Earth."
"What does this have to do with Carlton Drake?" Anton asked.
Eddie said, "Riot broke free and escaped the containment. Based on the information I've gathered recently, I found out that it once bonded with a Life Foundation employee from the search team. Therefore, it must know that in this world, the only person who could help it return to space and bring millions of its kind back to Earth is Carlton Drake."
He paused. "Drake has always had plans to launch rockets. He has an endless fascination with the extraterrestrial, but he doesn't understand the dangers of the universe."
"I understand."
Anton nodded. "So, we need to keep a close eye on Drake. Once Riot contacts him, we'll take action to deal with him. Then, the Life Foundation won't pose a threat anymore."
Eddie added, "Then, we can free up our hands to deal with Osborn Corporation."
"Good idea."
Anton laughed. "You really surprised me. It seems you can solve this matter on your own, without my help."
"It's because of Venom's power."
Eddie shook his head, his expression serious. "In any case, thanks for coming to San Francisco. Anton, you've helped me a lot."
He paused, thinking about the news that had just broken out in New York and was rapidly sweeping across the United States.
"By the way, congratulations on your movie's massive success. And that Batman, who is that guy? Is he going to help us?" Eddie asked.
"You'll meet him soon."
Anton smiled mysteriously.
Soon.
They arrived at a house.
"This is my ex-girlfriend, Annie Weying's place. She's helped me out a lot lately."
Eddie and Anton got out of the car.
At the door.
A man and a woman were waiting for them.
"Uh, that's Annie's boyfriend, his name is Dan Lewis, he's a doctor."
Eddie was a little embarrassed.
It wasn't a big deal to ask his ex-girlfriend for help, but the problem was, he was now living with his ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend.
That was the real problem.
安东 carefully looked at Dan Lewis, feeling that this guy was a good person, just a bit… well, you know.
The group walked into the room and gathered around the table.
"This is Anton, you should all know him."
Eddie introduced with a smile, "He's the genius director everyone in Hollywood is clamoring for. I just checked the box office for Batman today. Anton's first film has already surpassed $350 million. In many people's eyes, he's a walking gold mine."
"Hello, Anton."
Annie and Lewis looked at Anton with surprise, shaking his hand in turn. "Thank you for coming."
"He works for me."
Anton didn't take credit, nor did he feel he had helped Eddie much.
As he'd said, he figured Eddie could handle the Life Foundation on his own; he was just providing a little extra help.
He wasn't just here to help Eddie solve his problems; he also wanted to gain more Justice Points to unlock more of Batman's special armors.
With the introductions out of the way, they got down to business.
"According to Venom, the Symbiote's weaknesses are noise in the 4000 to 6000 Hertz range and fire."
Eddie's expression was serious. "To deal with Riot, we have to go at it from these angles."
"Simple."
Anton nodded, flashing a smile that could buy anything: "I can order custom weapons from Stark Industries. Creating a 4000 to 6000 Hertz sound wave emitter and a flamethrower is easy."
He pulled out his phone, utterly confident. "With enough money, I can get the custom weapons tomorrow, I think."
The group of "poor devils" fell silent.
Eddie, who was penniless and relied entirely on his boss's support, had his mouth twitch. Looking at Anton's confident demeanor, he actually felt the joy of being taken care of by a rich person.
