Anton, seeing this, contentedly put down his phone, feeling pleased.
However, when it came to wealth, Gotham City's Bruce Wayne was truly rich; Anton was far behind.
A man who defined his Superpower as "having money" was terrifying!
In the Marvel world, only Tony Stark and the future king of Wakanda could barely reach that level of enviable power.
One was rich enough to rival a country, and the other was even more ruthless; he was literally a king.
"This is a thigh; gotta hold on tight!"
In Eddie's mind, Venom exclaimed with great feeling.
"Do I even need to say it?"
Eddie instinctively retorted.
After saying that, seeing the three people present staring at him, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in, and gave a sheepish smile.
"Let's continue discussing, let's continue discussing! Where were we just now? Oh right, the symbiote's weaknesses are sound and fire..."
Eddie quickly picked up the previous topic, afraid that the three would delve into what he had just said.
At the same time.
A little girl walked out of the San Francisco airport.
She broke free from her mother's hand and vanished into the crowd in a flash.
Ten minutes later.
While the girl's mother was still anxiously searching for her at the airport, the girl inexplicably appeared at the Golden Gate Bridge.
The drive from the airport to the Golden Gate Bridge is about half an hour, yet the little girl arrived here in just ten minutes, a miraculous phenomenon.
Some passersby, seeing the pale-faced, expressionless little girl, were quite curious.
But when they called out to her, the girl completely ignored them, walking instead towards the Life Foundation's experimental base, not far from the edge of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Only the little girl knew that the person she was looking for was here, and also her companion.
For the creature within her, this world was beautiful, making it impossible not to want to destroy it.
"Stop, little one, where did you run from?"
The security guard at the gate saw the little girl and walked forward with a frown, his tone impatient: "Your mother isn't here. If you're lost, I can help you call 911."
"Huh?"
The little girl stopped, looking at the tall man in front of her, who was holding a gun.
"What's with that look?"
The man felt a chill run down his spine, sensing something was wrong.
Boom!
The little girl suddenly transformed into a monster.
Although it was only the size of an adult and seemed much weaker, the familiar sharp teeth and gaping maw immediately made him think of someone.
No way, not again…
The next moment, he was impaled through the chest by a blade that morphed from the little girl's arm, then thrown away with great force.
The man never expected that, after narrowly avoiding the attack from Eddie not long ago, he wouldn't be so lucky today.
What goes around comes around, right?
Beep beep beep!
Alarm sirens blared again at the Life Foundation's experimental base.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, fearing a repeat of whatever Eddie had caused.
That terrifying monster made everyone shudder.
Many researchers, even those who had only watched the security footage, felt their hearts race and their scalps prickle.
That thing had devoured a person alive!
BOOM!!
Security personnel quickly assembled and rushed to the location of the alarm.
When they arrived on the scene and saw a creature about the size of a full-grown man, but with a near-identical appearance to the monster that Eddie had transformed into, they breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"It's a good thing this one doesn't seem so ferocious!"
They clearly didn't know this guy was only powerful because he was possessing a little girl.
In terms of combat ability, Riot was probably stronger than Venom.
On the other side, the discussion between Anton and the other two didn't last long.
It was just about one plan.
After Riot appeared, they would use the opportunity of its contact with Carlton Drake to take out both of these bastards at the same time. It would save time and effort.
It wasn't that they couldn't attack Drake beforehand.
The key is that if the Riot doesn't show up, it will always be a hidden danger.
The best way is to wait for these two guys to expose themselves together.
Then, it's killing two birds with one stone, and eliminating future troubles.
"By the way, Anton, when will our helper arrive?"
Eddie asked curiously.
He couldn't help but ask.
"The news in New York hasn't been very peaceful lately. I saw on the news that the Life Foundation sent people to deal with the Daily Bugle. How is it going, is everything okay?"
After a pause, Eddie added, "I know what kind of place the Continental Hotel is. Don't forget, I worked for the Global Daily in New York for a long time. Our helper should be that Batman who appeared out of nowhere and took down all the assassins at the Continental Hotel in less than a night, right?"
Annie and Levis exchanged glances.
Unfamiliar with New York and the Continental Hotel, they weren't quite grasping Eddie's point.
However, they immediately understood the topic of "Batman."
Because Batman was a trending topic online.
The photos of Batman that appeared in Manhattan, New York the night before yesterday had become viral memes, with some even turning them into emojis.
[Want to learn to ride a motorcycle? I'll teach you!]
After two days of hype, Batman's coolest photos had attracted countless fans.
Americans loved cool guys.
If Batman isn't cool, then no one in this world is!
As for Tony Stark, that's not cool, that's just arrogant.
Furthermore, with all the gossip circulating online, and Anton's movie, The Shadow of Mystery, which was far above average, many people began to see Bruce Wayne as a real person.
They even suspected that Anton was Batman, and Bruce Wayne was just a persona he created to hide his identity.
There were many reasons for this.
It's undeniable that Anton was the first to come up with the concept of Batman.
Secondly, Tony Stark and Anton were "friends," although that word needs quotation marks.
Regardless, using Tony Stark as a prototype, and creating the film's Wayne Enterprises and Bruce Wayne, who were richer than a nation, wasn't that just the real-life Stark Industries and Tony Stark?
With Tony Stark's genius and the technological support of Stark Industries, wouldn't it be easy to create Batman's equipment?
The biggest impossibility was probably that, in everyone's perception, the real-life Tony Stark would never become Batman.
Batman and Tony Stark were completely unrelated, not just people from two different worlds, but two different concepts of being.
So, the choice was between the two, and Anton was Batman.
In fact, Anton had seen the post, and he really wanted to leave a comment below it: "You're way off."
Alright, back to the topic at hand.
There was another irrefutable point in the netizens' speculation.
Batman had taken action and dealt with the assassins sent by the Life Foundation to attack the Daily Bugle.
Wasn't this solid proof?
As for those who were unwilling to admit that Anton was Batman, they also had their reasons and spoke eloquently.
Anton's background was thoroughly exposed by someone.
Countless people had concluded with a final verdict: a lucky, well-born rich kid. Throughout his life, he had nothing outstanding or noteworthy on his resume – chasing girls didn't count, and anyone could throw money around.
Yet, this same rich kid, after dropping out of school, suddenly directed an outstanding film, pioneering the superhero genre and even defining the conventions of such movies.
These people generally believed that Batman was someone Anton knew.
Anton's success was undoubtedly guided by that "Bruce Wayne." Otherwise, how could a rich kid suddenly become a genius director? If someone was backing you, even a pig could ride the wind! Both sides were using vulgar language, locked in a heated argument, neither willing to concede.
Annie and Levis, due to their relationship with Eddie, were also following the Daily Bugle. They were naturally familiar with the Daily Bugle's behind-the-scenes figure, Anton.
They were very interested in this topic.
Watching Anton at that moment, they were as eager as Eddie to know the answer.
Seeing this, Anton chuckled softly, his tone calm.
"Batman?"
"In fact, he's already here!" Anton paused, a mysterious smile on his face. "He'll appear before you whenever you need him."
