After Anton spoke, Eddie and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
From his words, they could tell that Batman, the superhero who was currently taking the internet by storm, had arrived in San Francisco.
However, Batman would only appear at the most critical moment, not now.
Of course, influenced by the online discussions, Annie and Levis had suspected that Anton might be Batman, but they both thought it was unlikely.
Anton's life for the past twenty years had been thoroughly scrutinized; he was just a wealthy, spoiled rich kid.
Public opinion generally believed that Anton was definitely connected to Batman, perhaps even his spokesperson.
But whether Anton was actually Batman remained uncertain.
"Before you arrived, I really thought you were Batman, Anton."
After their conversation, the atmosphere warmed up, and Annie even cracked a small joke.
"Maybe you're right."
Anton chimed in, shrugging his shoulders, "Of course, my biggest dream is actually to be a rich playboy and inherit my old man's billions."
"I understand."
Eddie didn't doubt the truth of Anton's words.
He looked back at the whole situation and knew clearly that Anton had gotten involved with the Life Foundation because of him.
Faced with threats from assassins, Anton had to seek help from "Batman."
He was deeply moved.
Having a boss like that really makes you feel safe.
"Oh... He really loves you."
Venom sighed in his mind, "This should be love, right? Eddie, I like your boss."
"Shut up!"
Eddie's mouth twitched as he instinctively rebuked.
"Huh?"
This voice again attracted the attention of the other three.
"Uh..."
Eddie felt the three of them staring at him again, his body stiffening. He flushed with embarrassment and waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no, no, I wasn't talking about you. You know, Venom!"
"We understand."
Annie's eyes darted around. "We actually really want to know, what did Venom just say?"
The next day.
Anton went to Stark Industries' San Francisco branch to get weapons.
Eddie and the others, after disguising themselves, explored for information near the Life Foundation headquarters and the experimental base.
The Life Foundation's Rocket Project Base was also next to the experimental base.
Golden Gate Bridge.
Drake had indeed put in a lot of effort at this famous San Francisco landmark.
This was another project that had seen hundreds of billions, even trillions, of dollars invested in research and development, as well as manufacturing.
Unfortunately, the Life Foundation was about to kick the bucket, and Osborn Corporation was eagerly waiting to pick up the pieces.
There was a reason why the Green Goblin was called the Green Goblin.
Not only did he love green.
The second Green Goblin from the old Spider-Man, Harry Osborn, was also... well, you could say he was "green-lighted" by his best friend Peter Parker while he was dating Mary Jane.
It ran in the family!
At this moment, Eddie stared at the Rocket Project Base, looking at the rocket standing there. Venom, who was attached to him, suddenly spoke.
"Riot is already in San Francisco!"
The voice was low.
It suddenly echoed in Eddie's mind.
"How do you know?"
Eddie was taken aback, responding in a low voice: "Haven't you been with me these days?"
"I saw it!"
Venom's tone was grave: "Right in front of you."
As the words fell.
Eddie focused his gaze and saw Carlton Drake walking out of the Rocket Project Base, his pupils suddenly shrinking.
"What?"
He was shocked and immediately understood what Venom meant.
Drake had already merged with Riot, becoming Riot's host! This was too sudden!
Beep beep beep! Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. The caller was Annie.
"Eddie, we just found out that Drake has restarted the rocket launch plan. He's up to something! He's very likely become the host of Riot!"
Annie sounded very anxious.
"I know, I know, I already know!"
Eddie was about to reply when he was startled. He suddenly looked up and saw Drake staring in his direction.
Whoosh!
That gaze was like a blade, piercing through the dense forest and capturing the figure within.
"Prepare for the rocket launch as quickly as possible. I'll handle the ship myself. The configuration files and debugging aren't important. All I want is to see that rocket take off, understand…"
Carlton Drake, who had just arrived to inspect the Rocket Project Base, paused mid-sentence. He looked up, his gaze fixed on a certain spot, and a sneer curled his lips.
"Venom?"
"Tris, gather everyone. Bring your weapons and seal off the perimeter, especially that part of the forest."
He took the lead, heading toward the place his gaze had been fixed on.
"Understood."
After the author reviewed Venom, the bodyguard leader, who finally had a name, didn't dare to ask why and immediately nodded in agreement.
Boom!
Next, Tris stared in astonishment, his eyes wide.
He saw Drake bend his legs and spring up, leaping dozens of meters into the air and landing in the dense forest.
Eddie didn't run away and looked at Drake in front of him with a serious expression.
"Venom!"
Drake transformed into Riot, nearly three meters tall, with knotted muscles, sharp fangs, and a gaping mouth. Aside from a slight color difference, he was almost identical to Venom.
"Come with me."
Riot's voice was low, his smile sinister, and his words carried a bewitching magic. He slowly said, "We'll go retrieve our people and conquer this planet."
"No."
Venom flatly refused, "I won't let you destroy this world."
"You really are a waste!"
Riot's ugly face showed brutality and disdain. His hands transformed into a giant axe, and he pounced on Venom like a tiger descending a mountain, "Then die."
Anton was completely unaware that Eddie had transformed into Venom and was facing off against Drake, who had transformed into Riot, near the Golden Gate Bridge.
He had just driven away from Stark Industries' San Francisco branch. Trailing behind him were the Sonic Weapon and the Flamethrower, which Stark Industries had rushed to produce overnight.
The technical content of these two weapons wasn't high. Plus, Anton had paid well, so he was able to place the order in the early morning and receive the weapons by evening.
Any technology involved in the weapons would push the timeline back.
It had to be said, the symbiotes' weaknesses were indeed easy to exploit.
Anton suspected that even if Drake successfully brought all the symbiotes from the comet to Earth, it would only cause a disturbance, not destroy the planet.
The civilization humanity had nurtured for thousands of years wasn't so easily defeated.
Ring ring ring!
Suddenly, the phone beside him rang.
"Annie, I've already got the weapon... What? Eddie might be in trouble? Drake has become Riot's host?"
Anton's expression changed slightly, and he soothed, "Don't worry, I'll go right away! You guys stay put, it's too dangerous... Okay, I'll immediately notify Batman to support Eddie."
He hung up the phone, looked at the route, and slammed on the brakes, pulling the car over to a secluded suburban area.
Seeing no one around, a thought flashed through his mind, and he summoned a "vehicle."
It was time for a new car!
A car that could fly!
