116 Reporter Eddie
No matter what Reed thought, the world will not change because of him. The story of the Fantastic Four Heroes subduing Dum was spread all over the world by reporters. People were delighted to discover new heroes, especially for Susan's performance - a blond and blue-eyed girl who accidentally gained superpowers due to radiation from cosmic rays. Now she can be invisible and fight crime. Is there anything more eye-catching in the world than this?
The answer is no, so the popular mutant office immediately became scattered, and the reporters changed positions to surround the Fantastic Four.
The students may be disappointed, but Eric doesn't care at all. Regardless of whether the reporters are there, he always has something to do, such as now, he has just received a father and daughter and is about to send these two lovely people out.
The father and daughter are the Gwen family who were almost killed in the Silver Ghost incident a few days ago. The father George Stacy is the local police chief. He must come here for both official and private reasons. Perhaps he was a conservative who hated extraordinary humans, but the endless wave of crime quickly made him clear his mind. Now he hopes to form a linkage with the academy like FDny (New York Fire Brigade) and get support from powerful people when needed.
"Remember Eric, my department is always open to you." The director was still trying hard to persuade him before leaving.
Eric smiled and grabbed the gentleman's hand: "I will think about it, George."
They called each other like old friends, and the director's daughter Gwen Stacy looked at them with admiration.
One of these two men is her biological father, and the other is her savior who saved her life-saving benefactor under the disgusting Silver Ghost. In addition to personal experience, Director George's attitude towards mutants has also made great contributions to such a big change.
In another line of fate, the beautiful girl's fate is very tragic. Her father was killed by falling pieces while Spider-Man was insulted by Norman Osborne, and died tragically in the arms of Peter after giving birth to two children. Now she finally doesn't have to repeat this fate. Eric has always taken good care of people who tend to him. Although Norman, who lives in Lanser, still showed unusual interest in Gwen, the only thing waiting for him is destruction. Now, the first generation of Green Demon who survives is only for his lasting power, and then he no longer has to worry about his existence.
As for rejecting the director's proposal, Eric had his reasons. He hoped that the mutants would remain independent, so he did not make concessions on some technical issues. Although those conditions seemed loose, once they stepped in, they became restrictions. Instead, they were treated as an obligation as they were now.
Isn’t that saying? Free service is the most expensive---you take advantage of others. There is no reason to refuse. Instead of regretting it when the matter is over, it is better to put it right from the beginning.
During this period, the college did not give up on fulfilling its obligations, but just did not receive funds from the police. There was no need to pay attention to the small amount of money.
When the dust on Harry's side lands and Osborne Industry falls into control, the economic situation of the college will improve greatly, and it will no longer be supported by the professor and Eric.
"You don't seem to be very enthusiastic about the guests." Eric looked at the customer's car's rear disappearing at the corner of the street and asked the secretary next to him. He remembered that the two girls seemed to know each other. They had communicated at Osborne's birthday party, but today Mary Jane only greeted her acquaintance with a formulaic smile. Gwen originally wanted to talk to her for a few words. After seeing this expression, she no longer made fun of herself, so the ponytail girl remained silent, secretly looking at Eric next to her, and occasionally had the opportunity to say something to show her existence.
"You pay me no such request. If you need to receive guests warmly, please give me a raise." Mary Jane seemed unhappy again. She said to her employer and returned to the building. After a few autumn rains, the weather was a little cold recently, maybe she had caught a cold.
Eric shrugged and was about to go back, when he suddenly saw a nearby reporter picking up the manuscripts blown away by the wind.
"The police chief and his daughter visit the mutant, suspected that the two sides will deepen their cooperation..." Eric bent down and helped the reporter pick up a picture with a few lines of words on it, and there is a signature below. "Eddie...Bullock?"
"Ah, it's me." reporter Eddie raised his head in embarrassment. He finally collected the scattered manuscripts, but now only one is missing.
Eric returned the picture in his hand to him, and the other party kept it in a row of thanks.
"We seem to have faded, and this kind of news cannot attract public attention." Eric laughed at himself and asked the reporter who was trembling with cold outside to come in and have a cup of hot tea.
He is Peter's colleague and was good at capturing emergencies before. He was once highly valued by the boss of the Horn Daily. However, since Peter, a guy who used cheating methods to frequently take out Spider-Man photos, Eddie fell out of favor like a mutant abandoned by the media at this moment.
"I'm not as good as before." Now he was wearing a long coat from Peter's uncle, the kind-hearted guard squad, whispering while drinking hot tea in small sips of it. The heat in the cup rose slowly, making his eyebrows and eyes blurred.
When it comes to his nephew, Ban is a little embarrassed, so he returns to his post, and now only Eric is with him.
"Have you ever thought about how to get this game back?" Eric sat down opposite Eddie.
"I thought of many ways, but Spider-Man doesn't listen to me. He's an inaccessible guy, just like Parker." Eddie smiled bitterly. "I'm even thinking about making a picture to avoid Mr. Jameson losing patience and frying me."
"Will you do this?" Eric asked calmly.
"I don't know... If I'm discovered, I'll be done." Eddie's eyes were full of confusion. "But if a tabloid reporter like me loses his job, my life will be over, I..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly choked up his throat and curled up and coughed loudly.
Eric's eyes flashed, Eddie's magnetic field appeared in front of him, and some negative fluctuations in the dim human body's aperture were presented, and now he knew why Eddie was so anxious.
This is Eddie's misfortune, but it may not be without a turnaround.
Miss Christine, who used to be closest to mutants, has recently been promoted. Now she is not as concerned about her old friends as before, or many of her media friends are also a good thing.
If he is smart enough, he should learn to cherish it.
Put down the teacup. Eric invites Eddie to participate in today's teacher and student activities.
Mutants are engaging in their own lives, and the Fantastic Four are not idle either.
Or to be precise, it is Mr. Magic Reed. Mr. Reed has been trying hard to save his feelings last night, so he keeps looking for Susan, but the Invisible Girl has moved out and has not lived with them. Her younger brother Johnny has recently met new friends and can't see any shadow every day, so he can only call in vain, hoping to find Susan's trace.
This anxiety even made him forget Doum. The gentleman was locked in a sealed metal cover. Reed was going to strip his abilities and hand it over to the police for treatment. Now Doum was sitting inside without moving, gloating at the anxious look of the most annoying man.
After the incident last night, he reflected on his whole night and finally came to some conclusions, but that frustrated him even more. If he had the chance to escape, he would definitely not stay in this country again, with his natural rival here, and he had to get enough time to grow--and that man would not give him time.
Reed was about to make a call when suddenly a busy voice became in the earpiece. He looked over the torn telephone line, and the orange figure of the stone man appeared behind.
"Book?"
"You forgot your promise to me." Ben said angrily. Dum's words uncovered his scars yesterday. He was extremely eager to turn back to his former self and return to the warm family. "You forgot the vow you made with your life."
"I'm doing my best." Reed tried his best to comfort him, but when Ben pointed to the phone, he was speechless.
"I know this is wrong. But I have to meet Susan, and I promise you that I will find a solution." Reed grabbed his coat and hurried out. "When I come back, you have to be a little patient, and I will be able to do it soon."
His voice was still echoing in the laboratory, and the person had already rushed into the elevator.
Ben stared at strange eyes and patted his palms hatefully. A buzzing sound in the room, the metal products made a resonant echo.
There are only two people now, Dum laughed in the cover.
"Look, look." He smiled teasingly. "You have been protecting Reed all your life, and in the end, what is it for?"
Ben turned around, Doum leaning against the small space, as leisurely as before something happened.
"Don't think of lying to me, I won't be fooled by you." Although I was angry, Ben knew how dangerous Dum was. Now that Susan was not by his side, Dum could not handle it alone.
Dum laughed, as if he had heard such a stupid thing.
"When you go to Reed, he will always tell you how unsafe his research is, and how unsafe it is, but let me tell you that he has been scared by that incident and he will never find a safe day, and you... Ben, you will continue to wait until your wife loses patience and when she throws into someone else's arms, then you will never have to change back." Dum pretended to be careless and stared at Ben's expression with his light.
"You need to say nothing, I won't let you out." Ben was a little moved, but he would not waver his position.
"I don't expect you to let me out." Dum stood up straight and looked at the Stone Man deeply. "I just hate you very much and want to see your unlucky end. I don't repel your own power as much as you do. I regard it as the greatest opportunity in my life. Seeing you lose this gift is my greatest pleasure. Do you want to try it?"
"Gift?" Ben spat, trying to leave, suddenly feeling heavy steps. He turned around and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
