Chapter 138: Chapter 137
"BOSS, the rocket crash incident last time had a significant negative impact. Today's interview is very important, so please make a good impression!" the assistant reminded him as she hurried after him.
Hearing the assistant's words, Drake's face darkened slightly, then he asked, "Where are my specimens? When will they arrive at the company?"
"Probably tonight!"
"Very good!"
Upon hearing this, Drake smiled again and proceeded to the exhibition hall.
In the exhibition hall, a group of elementary school students was already watching the Life Foundation's exhibition.
Chen Ye followed behind Drake, his eyes gleaming.
He recalled that the rocket crash was the beginning of the "Venom" storyline.
The plot of "Venom" wasn't complicated: the Life Foundation discovered four symbiotes in outer space and brought them back for research. However, there was an accident during the landing on Earth, resulting in a crash, and one of the symbiotes escaped.
This symbiote was called "Riot!"
In the comics, Riot was actually Venom's offspring.
But in this movie universe, Riot was the leader of the symbiotes!
Its goal was to bring the symbiote army from its home planet to Earth and let them take over completely.
Later, Riot possessed the Life Foundation's owner, Drake, and persuaded him to launch a shuttle to the symbiote's home planet to bring the symbiote army.
However, this plot was foiled by Venom, who had grown to love Earth...
Chen Ye's plan wasn't complicated. He needed to protect Riot from being killed and then follow Riot to the symbiote's home planet.
The most dangerous part of this plan wasn't the symbiotes themselves.
With Chen Ye's current strength, the symbiotes posed no significant threat to him... The real deadly danger was a figure named "Knull."
This guy was a god, and not an ordinary god, powerful enough to kill members of the Celestial race!!
All symbiotes were created by Knull.
He was the god of symbiotes...
...
[Attention: Task Issued!
Main Task: Kill at least one symbiote within 30 days!
Task Duration: 30 days.
Task Failure: Eradicated!]
Afterward.
Chen Ye acted like a silent protector, always guarding Drake.
Soon, it was time for the afternoon interview.
Chen Ye saw the weathered face of Eddie Brock.
As in the original storyline, Eddie had long been displeased with the Life Foundation and was here to cause trouble.
The initial part of the interview went smoothly, but later, Eddie suddenly asked sharp questions.
"Mr. Drake, some say the Life Foundation experiments on live humans and is essentially a murder foundation. What do you have to say about that?"
Drake's face immediately darkened...
In the end, the interview ended on a sour note.
By nightfall.
A long-haul truck quietly arrived at the back door of the company.
Drake and his team had been waiting for this.
When the truck stopped, several security personnel from the company carried three large metal boxes out of the truck and opened them in front of Drake.
Each box contained a glass container.
Inside the containers, one could clearly see a mass of gooey, disgusting-looking substance.
There were black, yellow, and blue ones.
Even more shocking was that these substances were alive, constantly moving inside the containers.
Drake's eyes lit up as he looked at the contents of the three glass containers, seeing them as treasures!
"Simply beautiful!"
In the original storyline, Drake was a madman who believed that the human body was flawed and insignificant. He wanted to research ways to surpass human limits and believed that symbiotes could help humans evolve...
It was precisely this madness that led Riot to him.
At this moment.
A mutation occurred!
Drake's female assistant suddenly knocked Drake aside and lunged at the three containers.
"Stop her!" Drake shouted in alarm.
Seeing this, a cold gleam flashed in Chen Ye's eyes.
It was obvious that this female assistant was a reincarnator.
Ahead, a group of security personnel rushed toward the female assistant.
However, no one could stop her.
The female assistant must have consumed a Superman-type Devil Fruit, as her arms turned into sharp blades, extremely lethal.
The security personnel who charged at her were cut down, one after another, dismembered.
Chen Ye quickly reached Drake and helped him up.
"BOSS, are you alright?"
"Don't worry about me, stop that damned woman!" Drake shouted anxiously.
"Yes, boss!"
As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, he disappeared from his spot.
In one swift move, he was right behind the female assistant.
By this time, the female assistant had already reached the symbiote containers. She pulled out a can of gasoline like a magician and slashed the container, dousing it in gasoline.
Simultaneously, a lighter appeared in her hand.
Seeing Chen Ye rushing over, the female assistant sneered and threw the lit lighter toward the containers...
At this moment, the containers were soaked in gasoline.
A spark would ignite a blazing fire, unstoppable by anyone.
The moment the lighter was thrown, the female assistant knew she had won!
So much for Asura!
Nearby, Drake looked on in despair, reaching out to stop the lighter but unable to.
Everyone around them was similarly horrified.
Only Chen Ye remained calm.
The next moment!
A bizarre scene unfolded!
The lighter's flame suddenly extinguished mid-air...
The female assistant had used a windproof lighter to prevent the flame from going out.
But Chen Ye used his telekinesis to snuff out the flame.
"Clink!"
The metal lighter landed on the container with a crisp sound.
Without a flame, there was no fire.
The female assistant's face changed drastically, and she quickly moved to relight the lighter.
But she had no chance.
Because Chen Ye was right behind her.
Chen Ye grabbed the back of her neck, stopping her in her tracks.
The woman was fierce, swinging her blade-like arm to slash at Chen Ye.
Unfortunately, the blade that had always been successful was laughable against Chen Ye.
Master-level Armament Haki was no joke!
Chen Ye first punched her arm, breaking it, then grabbed her jaw and twisted it hard...
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking filled the air.
When Chen Ye let go, the female assistant fell to the ground, eyes wide open, dead.
Chen Ye had snapped her neck!
Staring at the lifeless body, Chen Ye's expression remained indifferent.
Since she dared to interfere with his plan, he wouldn't hold back just because she was a woman...
