In a small alley in San Francisco, Eddie staggered out, held onto the entrance to the alley, and began to vomit uncontrollably, even his stomach cramping.
Behind him was a pile of headless corpses.
Yes, Venom possessed him and began to feed.
"Oh~no! God! Please!"
Eddie roared madly:
"Venom, get out of my body! I can't stand it anymore!"
After Venom possessed Eddie, all his perceptions were connected with Venom. In other words, there was not much difference between Venom swallowing other people's heads and Venom swallowing them himself.
As a person who has received modern civilized education, how could Eddie possibly bear the feeling of swallowing someone's head in one bite?
That feeling is terrible.
"Eddie! You're not trustworthy!" Venom said, "We clearly made a deal. I didn't want to eat the heads of passers-by, but you asked me to bite the heads of bad guys. I did everything you said, eating the heads of gang members who did evil things, and helped purify the social environment in San Francisco. Do you want to go back on your word now?"
The headless bodies in the alley were all gang members that Venom and Eddie caught through sting operations.
"But I underestimated my tolerance for this way of eating!" Eddie collapsed and said, "No, I can't take it anymore. Venom, you should find another host."
"If it was so easy to find a suitable host, do you think I would still choose a loser like you as my host?" Venom muttered, "The Life Foundation has found so many hosts for me, but none of them are good enough to support my body, let alone move freely."
"You said I was a jerk?"
"You made a promise, but you're breaking it in the blink of an eye. Isn't this a lame behavior?"
Eddie was speechless. It seemed that he was wrong, but he still said stubbornly: "That's better than a parasite like you!"
Venom was furious: "What, you dare to call me a parasite? Apologize, Eddie!"
"No apology."
"Then don't blame me!"
Venom controlled Eddie's body and immediately performed some difficult moves on him, making Eddie scream in pain.
……
The next day.
A piece of news started from the Internet and spread explosively.
Under the operation of CEO Carlton Drake, the Life Foundation gathered a large number of homeless people in San Francisco in the name of building a homeless shelter, and then tricked these homeless people into signing agreements they did not understand, and sent them to the laboratory, where they were subsequently brutally killed.
In the process, thousands of lives have been lost due to Carlton Drake's brutality.
Due to the special status of the Life Foundation in San Francisco, the San Francisco City Government has always turned a blind eye to the Life Foundation's illegal operations and pretended not to see anything. Dora Sketh also anonymously submitted a letter of complaint to the San Francisco City Government, but to no avail.
If this continues, San Francisco will become a beautiful, environmentally friendly, high-tech city - because all those who bring disharmony to this city will be killed by the Life Foundation.
It started with the internet breaking the news, and then all the major media followed suit, both traditional media and Internet media, all jumped in, creating a situation where a single spark could start a prairie fire.
After all, this press release was well-written and factual, and provided a large number of on-site photos and evidence to expose the brutal behavior of the Life Foundation. The major media groups could let the Life Foundation off when they received a large amount of public relations funds from the Life Foundation, but they could not protect the Life Foundation after the incident became a big deal, which would damage the credibility of the media groups themselves.
For a time, public opinion was surging.
The Life Foundation's stock price plummeted, falling 33.08 points at the opening and losing $150 billion in market value.
Subsequently, the White House also responded to the outburst of public opinion and set up a special investigation team to enter San Francisco and the Life Foundation.
"Haha, I didn't expect my press release to be so popular in America!"
Mary Jane said happily.
This press release also included a part written by Mary Jane, but the real hero must be the famous reporter from Mercury Media who controlled the entire text.
"The Life Foundation is definitely doomed this time, right?"
"Not necessarily!" Bai Ye said while smoking a cigar, "When a company reaches the level of the Life Foundation, it cannot be defeated by a few simple press releases. We have to consider the social impact. As long as the Life Foundation is willing to find a solution and give up its own interests, there will always be a possibility of a solution."
"what?"
"Our great America has its own national conditions!" Bai Ye said, "But at this time, if Osborn and Saturn Biology can control the Life Foundation, they can kick Carlton Drake out of the Life Foundation. In order to reduce his influence on the Life Foundation, they can send him to prison."
Unlike the Brand Group, which had a market value of only 300 billion U.S. dollars at the beginning, and what they created threatened the city of New York, so they would definitely strike hard; the Life Foundation has a market value of more than 500 billion U.S. dollars, which is a level higher, and they only killed a few thousand homeless people. In the eyes of the American elite, the lives of homeless people are not lives at all, and it will not affect the safety of the masters themselves. Even if more than 100 million people at the bottom died, the proportion compared to more than 3 million people is still very small, and the population structure has been adjusted and optimized, so there is no big problem.
"That person is too desperate when facing the chaebol. Even though he has the upper hand in justice and fairness, it is difficult to get a fair result... He has to rely on the intervention of another hostile chaebol to have a chance of winning." Mary Jane sighed, "Alas, capital!"
"You are so young, how can you have so many emotions?"
Bai Ye smiled and pinched Mary Jane's pretty face, and said:
"If you have nothing else to do, why not write some more press releases to discredit the Life Foundation? Also, you can use your real name this time, and take advantage of the situation. Release some of the unpublished photos and evidence, and use this to improve your status in the industry."
"All right……"
Mary Jane thought about it for a while and felt that Bai Ye was right. She left his arms, sat down at the computer desk, and continued to write the press release.
In fact, Mary Jane is not a leftist like Eddie Brooke and Dora Sketh. She is more of a pragmatist. She wants to settle down rather than speak for the people.
If she could become a big journalist in the media industry, then she would have something to eat no matter what and wouldn't starve to death, right?
……
Life Foundation experimental base.
Carlton Drake was furious. He threw the document in his hand directly at the head of the public relations department:
"I spend so much money every year to feed you, what do you do for food? Now you tell me, this matter can't be suppressed?"
"Boss, this matter has become too big now!" The public relations director said bitterly, "Even the White House has been alarmed. We really can't suppress it!"
"Then tell me now, what should we do?" Carlton Drake held back his anger and said, "Are we just going to let it go?"
"Maybe... we can hold a press conference?" the public relations director asked tentatively.
"is that useful?"
"maybe……"
"..."
Carlton Drake had no choice but to hold a press conference as a last resort.
The pressure he is under now is too great. Not only is the San Francisco city government putting pressure on him, but even those congressmen who used to be fed by the Life Foundation have almost cut off contact with him. If this matter is not resolved, the Life Foundation will be either dead or crippled!
soon.
The Life Foundation press conference is ready.
The scene was swarmed with reporters.
"Mr. Drake, what do you think of the online revelation that the Life Foundation irresponsibly sacrificed the lives of homeless people for live experiments?"
"This is completely nonsense!" Carlton Drake said with a serious face. "Since the establishment of the Life Foundation, we have always abided by the laws and regulations. We are a model enterprise in San Francisco and a major taxpayer. I don't know who has such great malice towards the Life Foundation and must slander it in this way, but we will not let any bad guy go. We have taken note of the media that have been stirring up trouble and spreading rumors about the Life Foundation during this period, and will file a lawsuit in the San Francisco court soon."
"The White House has proposed a patrol team plan. Mr. Drake, are you saying that the White House has misunderstood the situation?"
“The Life Foundation welcomes the White House’s inspection. Even if the Life Foundation has not violated any regulations, we would be sincerely grateful if the White House is willing to clear the Life Foundation’s name.”
"There are rumors that a homeless person has reported to the San Francisco Police Department that the Life Foundation is trying to arrest him. Is this true?"
"Slander! This is slander! The Life Foundation abides by the law and would never do such a thing."
"Mr. Drake, are you going to jail next?"
"..."
Carlton Drake patiently answered a lot of questions. Finally, he said solemnly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Life Foundation has always been an enterprise with the core purpose of guiding human progress. Before this, we have developed many new drugs and cured many terminally ill patients. This is obvious to all. From now on, the Life Foundation will continue to benefit mankind and provide better services to everyone. Please don't be fooled by some rumors on the Internet. Thank you."
Carlton Drake came back from the press conference, loosened his tie, and looked at the security minister who was waiting at the side of the office:
"Has the matter been cleared up?"
"We have already found out." The security chief said, "Dr. Dora used her identity to bring three intruders into the base last night. One of them is Eddie Brooke, a top reporter for the Daily Bugle. The other little girl is a part-time photographer for the Daily Bugle. As for the other woman, there is no news yet, but from some traces, it can be seen that she is a special operations personnel from the Navy SEALs."
"Dora Sketh?" Carlton Drake gritted his teeth and blurted out these words: "Traitor!"
"What about the symbiote? Was the symbiote taken away by her as well?"
"No!" said the security chief, "The symbiote was taken away by Eddie Brooke."
Carlton Drake: "Send someone immediately to find this Eddie Brooke and get the symbiote back for me, at all costs! Also, find someone to kill Dora Sketh, she knows too much."
"Yes!"
The security minister responded.
Turn around and leave.
The Public Relations Director came to report to Carlton Drake.
"Boss, the press conference we held has had some effect, but for now, we are still facing a lot of pressure from public opinion. And...it's clear that there are signs that other chaebols are involved."
Carlton Drake was shocked: "Who?"
"Osborne."
Carlton Drake's heart sank suddenly.
Osborn is the strongest medical capital in the United States. If the Life Foundation is targeted by Osborn, does it still have a chance?
……
“Bullshit!”
Eddie picked up a free newspaper from the roadside and sneered at Carlton Drake's words in defense of himself.
Having been targeted by Osborn and with sufficient evidence in his hands, the Life Foundation is already doomed and is now just struggling to survive.
Osborne has more dirty information in his hands at any time, which can drive down the share price of the Life Foundation to a level that shareholders can't bear. Then Osborne can buy back the shares... and it will be easy.
He hummed a little tune.
Come to see his ex-girlfriend Annie.
They were too young at the beginning, and he did a lot of things to hurt Annie. Now he has come to his senses, and has overthrown the giant Life Foundation in one fell swoop. Next, his influence in the media industry will surely increase greatly, and he can be considered a successful career. He feels that he may be able to win Annie back.
It just so happens that Anne's home is in San Francisco.
Eddie stood at the door of Annie's house and looked at his watch. His ex-girlfriend should be getting off work soon.
Just as he took out his phone and looked through the news about the Life Foundation, a voice came from behind him:
"Eddie?"
He turned around and saw his ex-girlfriend Annie.
"Hey Annie, long time no see. I, ah, I was just passing by and found myself passing by your house so I came to say hello." Eddie said stumblingly.
At this moment, a man got out of Annie's passenger seat.
"Eddie, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Dan." Annie said with a smile, "Dan, this is Eddie."
"Hey, man, Annie told me a lot about you!"
Dan came forward and greeted Eddie very enthusiastically.
Eddie felt disappointed, but he had to suppress his bitterness and shook hands with Dan and talked to him.
Dan was very excited: "Brother, I am actually your fan too!"
Anne asked, "Really?"
"Of course, he brought down many powerful people, which is a very cool thing, right?"
The two also kissed in front of Eddie.
Eddie ate a mouthful of dog food, and finally realized that things could not go back, so he had to leave sadly.
As Eddie's good brother, Venom had to stand up and comfort him at this time:
"Don't worry about it, Eddie. That woman didn't choose to get back together with you and found a new boyfriend because she has poor taste. There's no need to take her seriously. There are many hot girls in this world who are prettier than her and waiting for you to fuck them!"
"Others have come out, but you are still stuck in pain?"
Eddie: "..."
