CHAPTER XXII

Max Dylan is an electrical engineer.

Growing up in a single-parent family has created a sensitive, irritable and extremely introverted personality with low self-esteem.

He had a good brain, otherwise he wouldn't have been an engineer and entered Osborne.

But his personality makes it difficult for him to fit in, and he is often ostracized, isolated, and violent in the office.

Obviously, he participated in the design of another major project in Osborne, the power grid, and arguably completed the most important design and core architecture of it, but in the end, all the credit went to someone else, and this person is now his immediate boss.

This kind of life made him feel depressed and miserable.

He felt that he was gifted, and that his enthusiasm was suppressed by the world.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

At one point, he even had the idea of suicide to see his mother, who had died of illness.

At this time, Spider-Woman appeared.

These high-flying superheroes, villains, once Max felt that they were extremely far away from him.

How could those dazzling beings who were high up in the sky look down at the insects on the ground?

Spider Woman.

"Hey! Man, what's wrong with you? ”

"Want to jump? No, never, no matter how bad it is, don't lose hope of living. ”

"Also, even if you jump, I'll use spider silk to save you."

"Yes, I won't give up on you."

……

Spider Woman has a heavenly voice, like an angel, which encourages him and gives him the courage to continue living.

It turns out that there are also people who care about themselves and will not give up on themselves.

At that moment, he was captured by Spider Woman and vowed to give everything for her.

But...... That's all.

Life goes on, just as bad, painful.

He didn't have a chance to see Spider-Woman again, and he could only learn about her movements through the news on TV and in the media.

He searched for Spider-Woman with crazy intensity every day, wanting to know every bit of her.

The house is full of her posters.

Only in this way can his soul get a moment of satisfaction and comfort.

Until that day, the lizardmen attacked the Osborne Mansion.

Max, who was dumped by his colleagues and had to work overtime to check the circuit, fell into the electric eel pool in the cross-species gene transfer project because of the damage caused by the lizardmen.

Suffocation, drowning, and the bite of countless electric eels hit him with electric shocks, making him feel extreme physical pain for a moment.

On the other hand, at the last moment before he fell, he seemed to hear Spider-Woman's voice.

It's an angel! Goddess! She's here too!

Is she here to save me? She said she wouldn't give up on me! She must have come to save me!

I can't die!

I want to live!

Max has lost consciousness, and he, who once wanted to know himself, burst out with infinite survival power at this moment.

He was dead, but not completely.

His physical body transforms into another form, able to sense electricity, can store electricity, and can manipulate electricity!

But before he could escape, he was discovered by the security personnel who were originally going to collect the body.

Caught off guard, he was imprisoned.

Osborne's men worked out a facility in time to cut off his electricity and crush him to the lowest floor of the building.

Harry finished watching the video recording of [Code Name 713: Max Dylan].

His fist angrily hammered on the table,

"Damn, what the hell are these guys doing!?"

Now it seems that these old guys are not clean under their hands, and they are no better than their fathers.

But before he could do anything, two messages suddenly popped up,

Warning, your access has been banned. 】

You do not have access to the project. 】

……

At the same time, the door to the office was opened, and the new chairman, Mencken, walked in with a menacing attitude from the security department.

"You can't go in, he's busy!" Ephesia tried to stop them, but she was a girl who obviously couldn't stop a group of big men in black.

"Look at the good things you've done, Mencken!" Harry asked.

"It's a good thing you did." Mencken said.

"What do you mean?"

"You, and your criminal father have seriously affected the interests of the company, and after careful consideration, we have decided to hold a general meeting of shareholders tomorrow to discuss and vote on whether you are still eligible to exercise your rights."

"No, don't you think! This is Osborne! ”

"Osborne of your family isn't your anymore, freak."

Mencken and the security department came and went in a hurry, and soon left, leaving Harry alone.

"Mr. Osborne?" Ephesia spoke up.

"I ...... I'm fine. Harry shook his body, "I'm not going to let them succeed...... You go first, I have something for you, I have a friend who needs help today......"

"Yes......"

In the office, Harry was left alone.

He smashed the wine glass, propped up the table with one hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "They won't make it......"

"Never ......"

"Alert! Alert! An error occurred with a security measure, an error occurred with a security measure! ”

Under the flickering red light and the rush of alarms, Harry walked out of the captivity facility with his head bowed and walked briskly out of the ground floor.

"Max? I hope you don't let me down......"

……

"Peter, it's time for us to go."

"Okay. Anyway, where are we going today? ”

Under the apartment, Peter and Gwen went out together, Peter asked.

Gwen resented this.

She complained: "So, you really don't ask at all, and completely let me make the itinerary alone?" ”

"Isn't that good?" Peter smiled and said, "Give you more room to treat me." ”

Gwen was so angry that she wanted to bite Peter.

"Humph! If it weren't for ......"

"Or what?"?

"No, let's go." Gwen shook off Peter and walked forward first, but Peter could only stick his head in his pocket and said:

"Gwen, your outfit today is beautiful."

Gwen paused in his footsteps and said in a casual tone, "Really? I'll just pick one. ”

"It's you, you look good in anything."

"Humph......"

Peter walked up to her and asked, "So, where is our first stop?" ”

Gwen rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go to the movies first." ”

"yes, okay."

It turns out that even Gwen, the honorary police officer Spider Girl, can't escape the same old three when she makes a date plan.

Shopping, eating, watching movies.

It's old-fashioned, but it's tried.

Then, they watched a 120-minute romance movie with long hair.

After coming out, Peter exhaled and asked, "Where do you go next?" ”

"I'd like to have afternoon tea." Gwen didn't see anything unusual on his face.

"Okay."

Then, they enjoyed a half-hour afternoon tea at a couple's restaurant.

At this time, even Gwen couldn't hold it anymore and took the lead in proposing to leave.

She said, "Don't you have any ideas? ”

"The movie is good, and the dim sum is delicious, but I'm a little underfed."

“……”

Gwen was a little angry and a little discouraged: "Okay, let's go shopping with me, and then we'll go home." ”

"Huh? Isn't there still dinner? Peter asked.

"No more!"

She was disappointed. She made it so clear, couldn't Peter see it?

Do you really want her to break the relationship and go straight to A?

No, that won't work.

Sometimes the better the relationship, the less easily she can break it. Because she was afraid that the two would not only not go further, but would not even be able to maintain their original relationship.

Perhaps, there is only one way left to confess.

Peter really prefers Spider-Woman to her.

Forehead...... It's weird that both of them are her, but it doesn't matter!

Gwen remembered what her father had told her again,

"Don't involve Peter......"

"So, what do I do?"

Gwen was confused, and at this moment, she felt suddenly pulled by someone.

She looked back and it was Peter.

"What's wrong?" She said listlessly.

Peter said, "I just made a reservation for dinner, and I need you to come with me tonight, Gwen." ”

Gwen: Σ (●—●)

"Eh!!!!!"
