Chapter 140: Chapter 139
Since Riot took over, Drake's behavior had become increasingly reckless.
He was irritable and killed indiscriminately...
In just a few days, Chen Ye had witnessed at least six or seven people die at Drake's hands.
This guy had excellent relations with the government, and many of Life Foundation's shareholders were backed by powerful conglomerates, so no one dared to mess with him.
Many times, Chen Ye could hear Drake "talking to himself" in his office.
Of course, Chen Ye knew the truth.
Drake was conversing with Riot.
Under Riot's influence, Drake planned to launch the spaceship as soon as possible to go to the symbiote's planet.
Indeed!
The Life Foundation had its own rockets and spaceships.
So, in the following days, Drake focused solely on the progress of the spaceship's construction, caring little about anything else.
Previously, he had sent people to chase Eddie, wanting to retrieve Venom from him.
Now, he had completely lost interest.
Drake's actions were exactly what Chen Ye wanted.
The only unexpected thing was that the male reincarnator had yet to appear...
One day later.
Drake suddenly left the company in a hurry, instructing Chen Ye to drive to the spaceship launch site.
He couldn't wait any longer.
The launch site was by the coast.
When Drake entered the control room, Chen Ye stood at the door and immediately called Murong Yuling.
"Great Asura?"
"Where are you?" Chen Ye asked.
"I just arrived in San Francisco, heading to the Life Foundation lab."
"Turn around, I'll send you a location. You have 10 minutes to get here!"
After speaking, Chen Ye hung up and sent his location to Murong Yuling.
After completing this, Chen Ye immediately headed to the control room.
"No more tests, prepare for immediate launch!"
As soon as he reached the control room door, Chen Ye heard Drake's irritable roar.
"But... boss, the flight team isn't ready!" a staff member advised.
"No need for the flight team, I'll pilot it myself!" Drake said impatiently.
Seeing Drake's insistence, the staff member was about to persuade him again when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
A blade had pierced through the staff member's abdomen.
The other end of the blade was Drake's arm.
"Ah!!!"
Seeing someone suddenly killed in such a bizarre manner, the other staff members screamed in horror and fled the control room.
In the blink of an eye, only Drake remained in the control room.
Drake smiled faintly and approached the main computer, preparing to initiate the spaceship's launch.
"Boss, can you wait a moment?"
Drake paused, looked up, and saw Chen Ye entering.
"Ronan?" Drake frowned. "You should stay outside!"
Chen Ye smiled and said, "I overheard you saying you're launching the spaceship immediately? Boss, I want to keep protecting you, so can you take me with you?"
"Oh?" Drake was surprised. "You don't even know where I'm going, and you're willing to follow?"
Chen Ye shrugged. "The contract states that as your personal bodyguard, I must follow you 24/7!"
Drake stared at Chen Ye, wondering if this guy was a blockhead.
However, after thinking carefully, he realized that having such a strong man could be beneficial.
"Fine, you can come with me. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly!"
Drake said, then resumed preparing for the spaceship launch.
"Wait, boss!"
"What now?" Drake frowned impatiently.
Chen Ye smiled and said, "I have a friend coming too!"
At this, Drake realized something was off.
Without a word, Riot took over, and Drake's right hand transformed into a long blade, thrusting at Chen Ye.
"Whoosh!"
The blade sliced through the air.
But Chen Ye remained calm, planting his feet firmly and raising his hand to catch the incoming blade.
He caught Riot's blade barehanded!
Seeing Chen Ye's blackened, gleaming hand, Riot was taken aback, thinking he had encountered a fellow symbiote.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed different...
"Boss, be careful not to damage the computer. The spaceship won't launch if it's broken!"
Hearing this, Riot halted, glaring at Chen Ye with its sharp teeth showing. "Who are you?"
Chen Ye's hand had matched its strength and his skin was as hard as iron.
Riot wasn't scared but was concerned about damaging the control room, which would delay the launch.
"Me?" Chen Ye smiled. "I'm just a human... Boss, I mean you no harm. I just want to go to the symbiote planet with you!"
"You know about the symbiote planet?" Riot was stunned and quickly asked, "Why do you want to go there?"
"To find a suitable symbiote for myself! I want to become stronger!"
Chen Ye lied without hesitation.
Riot thought for a moment, deciding it was best to keep Chen Ye calm for now.
Riot's skin retreated like a tide, merging back into Drake's body, revealing Drake's appearance.
Drake looked at Chen Ye deeply. "I never thought the most dangerous person was right by my side."
Now, Drake was in a dilemma. His monstrous identity had been exposed, and he needed to leave Earth quickly.
So, he dared not fight Chen Ye in the control room, fearing it would damage the computers and ruin his plan.
"Boss, you're mistaken. I'm not your enemy, so I'm not dangerous."
Drake, too lazy to argue further, asked, "When will your friend arrive? I can't wait too long!"
"Ten minutes!"
"Alright!"
...
Ten minutes passed quickly.
A large truck hurriedly arrived at the dock.
"Boss, my friend is here... and it seems your 'friend' is here too!"
Chen Ye said with a smile, looking toward a large black figure rapidly approaching from the mountains by the coast.
It was Venom!!
"Boss, you can launch the spaceship now!"
As Chen Ye spoke, Drake immediately began operating the computer, inputting the launch sequence.
"Spaceship launch countdown: five minutes..."
