A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Of course, these things couldn't be said to Eddie; they were his secrets.

"But Riot is your boss. Can you beat him?" Eddie asked. You can't even beat Earthlings, and you want to fight aliens? And that alien is your boss?

It sounds completely unreliable.

“If his host isn’t very strong…maybe, but I can kill Drake,” Venom chuckled.

Drake is the only one who knows the location of the symbiote planet. Taking him down will accomplish more than half the task.

As for the riots... that's a secondary issue.

“What about…the girl?” Eddie asked.

"Secondary issues, let's deal with the rocket first!" Venom controlled Eddie's body and burrowed into the water, swimming away quickly.

……

Marbury, in a massive complex of buildings embedded in the mountainside.

"Where were you when the symbiote left the human body?" a young Indian man asked the two white men sharply, his face contorted with hostility.

Judging from skin color, this should be a Kshatriya, not a Brahmin.

On the ground lay a woman in a white coat, her eyes wide open, dying with her eyes still open.

Beside her was a pale blue, sticky blob, but like the woman, it was completely still and dead.

“I’m sorry, we…” The two white men lowered their heads and dared not argue.

"What did I say?" the Indian youth roared. "This is a higher life form, the only hope to save humanity, a partner for humanity's evolution into a higher level of life!"

"Just how arrogant are you two to not take it seriously?"

The two white men exchanged a glance and remained silent, unsure how to respond.

“Damn it…” Drake took a deep breath, suppressing his anger: “I’m going to write this in my diary to remind myself of this.”

He noticed the dismissive expressions on their faces. There were just too many fools in the world; no one could understand his great ideas, no one could comprehend his grand vision.

“I really… I really…” Drake rubbed his nose, a wave of sadness washing over him. He was so lonely; no one could truly enter his heart.

"Alright, you guys can leave." Drake waved his hand, looking somewhat weary. "I need to be alone for a while."

The two white men left silently, without making a sound.

Drake looked at the motionless blue symbiote on the ground with a sorrowful expression. He only had three symbiotes; one had run away, one had died, and now only one remained.

"God...is my dream really impossible to achieve?" Drake's eyes reddened, and a wave of sadness washed over him, causing him to burst into tears.

blah blah~

Just then, crisp footsteps suddenly rang out in the basement laboratory, sounding like high heels tapping on the floor.

Drake frowned immediately. It was already late at night, everyone had left, and he had even chased away the last two people on duty. How could there still be anyone there?

Thinking this, Drake quickly walked out and saw a little white girl, about seven or eight years old, with rosy cheeks and very cute.

Drake was immediately filled with doubt, but he also lowered his guard. When did such a little girl come into his company?

"What are you doing here?" Drake asked the little girl.

The little girl ignored him and walked straight toward Drake.

“Girl, are you lost?” Drake crouched down and patted her head.

"Gurgle..." The little girl tilted her head and made an unintelligible sound in her throat.

Drake frowned, initially thinking the girl was sick, but his expression changed drastically the next second.

The girl's pale blue pupils were suddenly covered by a grayish-white membrane, just like the eyelids of reptiles such as lizards and crocodiles.

“Shit…” Drake’s expression changed drastically.

Snapped!

The girl suddenly raised her hand, and several gray-white tentacles with pale red patterns emerged from her hand, wrapping around Drake's neck, eyes, and mouth.

"Gurgle... Hehehe, I'm not lost..."

A viscous liquid, grayish-white with subtle pale red streaks, slowly entered Drake's body through his eyes and mouth.

Those brown eyes, typical of Indians, turned into grayish-white eyes, just like the little girl's.

Chapter 289 Gwen Who's Being Eyed

Inside the villa, Cao Gui gently lifted Gwen from the bed.

"Ugh... what? I'm so tired..." Gwen mumbled weakly, her eyes almost closing from exhaustion.

"Let's find a drier room." Cao Gui glanced at Gwen's bed and laughed, "We can't sleep in this room anymore."

Gwen rolled her eyes, not wanting to say a word. "Wasn't this your doing?"

Cao Gui: Yes, yes, yes, it was me who did it.

……

In a building complex somewhere in Marbury.

Drake was in his company's information center, reviewing the video of the chase between his men and Eddie the previous night.

"Riot, this Venom looks really strong." Drake looked at Eddie, who was displaying incredible power under the control of Venom, and felt a little scared.

It's quite surprising that someone as trash as Eddie could escape and even kill his dozen or so thugs and drones.

"Once we bond with a host we like, we can do what Venom can do. There's nothing surprising about it," Riot said calmly in his mind.

"However, Venom's host does seem quite good; he must be very strong."

"Eyes, lungs, and pancreas, they smell delicious...wait a minute!"

In the scene, Venom reveals its complete form, a sight that startles Drake, who realizes that this is what a symbiote's complete form looks like.

But soon, the screen went black, and everything disappeared.

"Huh? What's going on? What's next?" Rioter shouted in dissatisfaction.

Drake fiddled with the computer for a moment, then frowned and said, "The later parts were actually deleted... That's strange. Who would deliberately tamper with the surveillance video?"

As he spoke, Drake switched to a video recorded by another surveillance camera, but just like the previous video, it only recorded the complete Venom form before mysteriously disappearing.

"That's amazing. The video ends here. What happened next..." Drake stroked his chin, his eyes flickering.

"Venom's reaction is quite interesting," Riot thought to himself. "He seems to have seen something that surprised him."

“It wasn’t just surprise, it was excitement too,” Drake said in a deep voice. “What could excite him?”

"A powerful host? Or a delicious brain?" Riot pondered for a moment and gave two vague answers.

Drake ignored the riot's words and started switching videos again. In the current video, all that could be seen was Venom turning its head, and then nothing else.

He wanted to find out what was in that direction, and soon he found it, but he couldn't figure it out.

In that direction, there were only cars parked on the side of the road, and quite a few of them, as well as five or six people, making it impossible to identify the target.

“This is really a headache…” Drake said dejectedly.

Just then, his cell phone rang; it was one of his thugs calling.

"what's up?"

"Boss, we've caught Eddie Brock."

"Oh?" Drake raised an eyebrow. He was just about to doze off when this opportunity presented itself. He had been racking his brains trying to figure out what could pique Venom's interest, and now he had found a Venom host.

"However... Boss, the symbiote is no longer inside him."

Drake's expression darkened: "Bring him here, I want to question him myself."

A few minutes later, Drake saw Eddie Block in his basement.

Compared to the arrogant and triumphant reporter he was a few days ago, he is now in a terrible state. His face is haggard, pale, and his clothes are dirty and smell bad.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable being stuck in the chair, Eddie's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

“Wow wow wow~ Eddie Brock, you look like a pile of shit,” Drake said disdainfully, kicking him in the face.

"Damn it, you murderous devil!" Eddie gritted his teeth.

Just because he told the truth about the illegal experiment that led to the death, this guy caused him to lose his job and even his girlfriend. In less than two days, he has lost everything.

Even his girlfriend has a new boyfriend!

"Murderous devils?" Drake instantly flew into a rage: "I didn't kill them, they sacrificed themselves for the future of humanity!"

"You piece of trash, what do you know? You don't understand anything. Everything I do is for the evolution of humanity, for the future of humanity."

"I want to create a completely new world, create a completely new species, I am saving the world!"

Drake pointed at Eddie's nose and angrily shouted, "And you, you actually called a great hero who is about to save the world a murderous monster?"

"A great hero who saved the world? Who is that?" Eddie rolled his eyes, unmoved by the long, impassioned speech, and even... wanted to laugh a little.

Seeing Eddie's indifference, Drake's lips twitched, then he shook his head: "Forget it, trash like you will never understand the great thoughts of a superior human being like me."

"Hahaha...Higher humans?" Eddie laughed immediately.

"Do you know Drake? I'm a journalist. I've been to most countries in the world, including your homeland. You're just a second-rate person, a piece of trash!"

Snapped!

Drake suddenly grabbed Eddie by the neck.

Eddie's face flushed red, and he couldn't breathe. Drake's powerful strength instantly took away his ability to breathe.

“Let me tell you, I’m American, I have been for ten years.” Drake’s jaw muscles bulged, veins popped on his forehead, and he was furious to the extreme.

“I have absolutely no connection with that side. If you dare bring this up again, I’ll bite your head off.”

With a whoosh, the sound of gushing slime suddenly rang out, and Drake instantly transformed into his berserk, complete form.

Riot's complete form is bluish-gray all over. Unlike Venom, this thing has a pitted and uneven surface all over, not smooth like Venom at all. There are also faint red lines between the various protrusions.

It's absolutely...hideous!
