"Is there anyone in this seat?"

Ben, who was drinking coffee alone and carefully in the restaurant, suddenly heard a voice in his ears that he had hated for many years.

"What are you doing here?"

Ben gently put down the cup, and was slightly relieved to see that the cup was not broken, he didn't care about the compensation of a cup, but it would be a very troublesome thing and make him feel very bad.

"Ben, I'm worried about you."

Ben sneered, he didn't even believe the punctuation marks of Victor's answer: "You're worried about me? Oh, that's really impressive. ”

In his words, Ben made no secret of his suspicion, disgust, and ridicule of Victor.

"Oh, Ben, you're so sad, after all, we've known each other for years."

Victor patted Ben lightly on the shoulder, and then sat down across from him, "Come on, what do you want to eat?" I'm in for a treat! ”

A sentence that has known each other for many years has made some waves in Ben's heart, so he has not driven Victor away.

"When did you become so kind?"

"I've never been good or bad, I've always been me, Ben!"

Victor beckoned to the waiter and ordered a few things, some of which he loved.

"I know you've hated me all these years, especially since I parted ways with Ricter."

"But, Ben, apart from the disagreements between me and Richard over the years, especially in terms of business and science, over the years of disagreement over whether the results of research should be used to make money or benefit the world, we don't actually have any feud or estrangement."

Speaking of this, Victor paused: "I know, you and Ricd don't like my personality very much, but this is me, since I am a businessman, and Ricd also came to me to talk about business, I naturally want to put interests first." ”

"But now, Ben, I'm coming to visit you as an old friend, not to pity you, not to sympathize with you, but to accompany you!"

Victor's words touched Ben's heart more and more, and he couldn't help but imagine it according to Victor's words, and found that the gaps and contradictions between him and Victor were almost all related to Ric, and the contradictions and differences between him and Victor were simply almost none!

For so many years, he almost didn't live with himself......

“…… Thank you. ”

After a long silence, Ben let out a long sigh and finally opened his mouth and began to talk to Victor in a good tone.

"Thanks for what?"

Victor smiled, very bitter: "I know, you are not having a good time like this. ”

Ben's brows furrowed suddenly, although now he couldn't find where his brows were: "I just had a crush on you!" Do you want me to be disgusted with you again? ”

"Oh~ Ben, don't get me wrong, I'm not sarcastic."

Victor quickly explained.

For Ricter, Susan, and Johnny, their lives haven't changed much, at least they can still show up, and even get a lot of attention, praise, and popularity. And what about us? ”

"The way you are now, aren't you really sad? Were you really not sad when Debbie left you because of this? When other people look at you strangely, can you really turn a blind eye and not care? ”

"As for me...... You should have heard about the current situation of my company. ”

Victor's eyes were slightly red, and when he said this at this time, he was not just acting, but also really feeling: "So I just said, I'm not here to pity you, nor to tease you to tease you, I'm just here to accompany you, and I'm also here to accompany you." ”

"Because I know what it's like to lose everything, we've all lost everything because of it."

Ben was silent, and finally turned over, raised his hand to pat Victor's shoulder, but was afraid of hurting him: "Vic, believe me, Ric will definitely cure me, and will definitely make the research successful and bring your company back to life." ”

Looking at Ben, who has never been good at persuading people, after racking his brains to say two words of comfort to himself, he was silent again, and Victor laughed softly: "Of course, I believe him, he may not work hard for me, but he will definitely work hard for you." After all, you have been protecting him without hesitation since you were a child, and now it is because of him that you have become like this, of course he will do his best to work and work hard. ”

Speaking of this, Victor's expression suddenly became strange.

"You're his best friend, so why shouldn't he hurry? Isn't it? Could it be that he could still waste time falling in love with Susan at such a time? ”

Ben's expression suddenly stiffened, a kind of gloom and disbelief that even though his entire face was made of stone now, it could still be seen at a glance.

Soon, Ben returned to Baxter Mansion in despair, and after not finding Ricd, he sat there like a statue with an almost hopeless disappointment, quietly waiting for his good brother to return.

It's just that this is the whole night.

"Yes, why shouldn't he hurry?"

It wasn't until after dawn that Richard and Susan, who walked in together with their arms together, laughing happily, suddenly laughed, but laughed very sadly.

"Is it to fall in love with Susan?"

Ben whispered what Victor had said to him just last night, and asked himself, "Yes! ”

"Ben!?"

Looking at the nervous self-talk there, Ricd walked over with a frown.

"Oh? Now you remember my name? ”

Ben also stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at Ricd with anger in his eyes, "So do you remember the oath you made?" You swore with your life!? ”

Ben has never been a scheming person, not to mention that at this time, he suffered the most betrayal from the most trusted person who hurt him the most!

Even a fool can hear the anger in his words!

"Ben, listen to me, we've been working hard and doing our best!"

Ricter's words made Ben even more sad and angry, and turned his head to look at Susan, who was charming and charming with a red face, as a married man, he couldn't be clearer about this state of women: "Yes, I have seen it all. ”

After all, Guo Dong still didn't really pry into Riede's corner, compared to simple desire and bad taste, or tangible interests are more important to him, after all, although Susan is beautiful, it is not enough to make him tempted and really loved.

So the two who were originally able to come back last night, under Guo Dong's behind-the-scenes intervention, didn't get up from the bed together until this morning, and sweetly held hands and returned together, giving Ben the most unacceptable injury.

"Ben! I don't know if this thing is going to make us recover or if it's going to make us worse, you have to be a little patient and give me a little more time, I'm ......"

"Rid! Look at me! ”

Ricter's explanation, under the dual influence of Victor and Guo Dong's light and dark, has become deception and quibble in Ben's eyes: "You look at me, how bad can you be?" What could be worse than what the hell I am now!? ”

"I know! That's why I can't make any mistakes, and I have to make sure it's foolproof! ”

Bender was furious, and he didn't know that Ricd was there, and he was always a good man, and he actually yelled at Ben: "But we can't do this yet, we must continue to test!" ”

Looking at Ric who yelled at him, Ben's heart was even more angry, and he didn't care about what Rieter said at all, anyway, it was just some quibbles, and it was meaningless at all.

"I've been defending you all my life without hesitation, and even my preferences for others exist because of you! But what happens in the end? What is it for? ”

Anger made Ben lose his mind, forgetting what he had been doing recently, all actions had to be careful not to hurt others, and directly stretched out his thick fingers like turnips and pointed at Ric's chest very nostalgically: "For you and your girlfriend to fall in love, don't go home at night, have a candlelight dinner with two people outside, and sleep together romantically?" And I'm waiting like a fool? ”

Bang!

Ben's strength is undoubted, even if Ric's physical fitness is far from being human after the mutation, he is still powerless to resist and is flown upside down by Ben's retreat, which causes a battle between the brothers.

Or it is a farce that Guo Dong and Victor have been planning for a long time and carefully planned.

"It seems that our plan has been successful."

In Victor's office, in front of the monitor monitoring the situation on Ric's side, Guo Dong and Victor touched the glass, and then Guo Dong drank the wine in the cup in one gulp: "It's time for me to play next." ”

"Fortunately, you're flexible enough to protect yourself."

When Victor and Guo Dong celebrated the success of the plan, the battle (trouble) between Ben and Led (drama) was over, listening to Leader shouting in his ear to calm down, Ben really calmed down, his heart was cold, and he was naturally quiet!

"It looks like you don't need my protection anymore, it's good, it's really good!"

Looking at Ric, and then turning his head to look at Susan, who had fought with him since last night and just now because of her, Ben laughed self-deprecatingly: "I can finally take a break and live my own life, and the road ahead is up to you." ”

Looking at Ben, who was sad, lonely, and desperate, he turned away without hesitation, and Richard fell to the ground with a puff and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say to keep him.

"Rid? What's going on? Why did I just see Ben and Johnny going out unhappy? ”

Soon, Guo Dong rushed back to the Baxter Building from Victor.

"Guo, did I really do something wrong?"

Leader raised his head to look at Guo Dong with blank eyes, and told what had just happened with a sad tone of self-reproach.

"No, Riede, you are right, science, it has to be rigorous, especially since we have just made a mistake and paid a heavy price for it."

Guo Dong didn't show any trace of being a behind-the-scenes mastermind on his face, but he still half-squatted down like a good old man, and put his hand on Riede's shoulder: "Do you need an experimental subject?" Then I'll do it! ”

"Guo!?"

Leader looked at Guo Dong in shock.

"You know, it's dangerous, it's going to endanger your life!"

Guo Dong smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ride, you and Ben, Susan, and Johnny have all been irradiated, and you have also changed your DNA and gained superpowers because of this. I don't have superpowers, but do you think I'll survive that cloud of energy? ”

In Riede's face changed drastically and he looked apologetically guilty, Guo Dong's expression was solemn: "Riede, no matter what the result is, it doesn't matter to me. If I succeed, my condition will be eliminated and I will be able to live a healthy life. If you fail, the most you can do is become a monster like you and Ben. ”

"But rather than live on my breath and die in fear that I'm going to die of a genetic breakdown at some point, I'd rather become a monster like you and be a superhero and die like a warrior than die in bed like a wretched worm."

Guo Dong's words made Ricd unable to refute, and Susan, who came back after a big fight with Johnny, didn't know what to say, especially when Guo Dong gave a reason why Richard and Susan couldn't refuse.

"Rid, you are a genius doctor, this machine was researched by you, no one knows it better than you, once you have an accident, we really don't have any hope anymore!"
