Chapter 214: As long as I can endure hardship, there will be endless suffering?
"Mom, why did you suddenly think to call me?"
In London, England, Sera Zhenchun laughed.
"Woo woo...... "Woo woo" Akai Marie said hesitantly, "It's that I'm not in London for a while, how are you living?" Is it enough for living expenses? β
Shiliang Zhenchun felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it:
"Of course the living expenses are enough, when you left, you left me so much money, enough for me to use it for more than half a year."
"Ahh
Mary Akai suddenly began to curse in a high voice.
Shiliang Zhenchun was puzzled: "Mom? β
"It's okay, I just stepped on a nail."
Akai Marie hurriedly explained.
"That's right." Shiliang Zhenchun said: "It's not seriously injured, is it? β
"Just pull it out!" Mary Akai snorted and said, "I guess I'll have to stay in New York for a while, and I can't go back to London, so take care of yourself." It's really not good, you might as well transfer to Japan, at least there is your second brother there who can take care of you. β
Sera Masamu: "I'll think about it. β
"Hissββ!" Mary Akai gasped, and said as if explaining to her daughter: "This iron nail is still a little deep, so that's it, I'll hang it first." β
"Okay, Mom, you go and take care of the wound first."
Shira nodded and hung up.
"What's strange about my mom today?"
Sera Masumi felt a little abnormal, and didn't think much about it.
After all, in her eyes, her mother Mary Akai has always been a majestic iceberg beauty, how could she do anything ridiculous?
"Do you have a problem with your brain? Little bastard! β
After Shira Zhenchun hung up the phone, Akai Marie went crazy, picked up the pillow under her, and slammed it towards the white night:
βfuck youοΌβ
"Haha, I was wrong, I was wrong." Bai Ye resisted with a smile: "Although I proposed to call your daughter first, didn't you agree to it yourself?" β
"I said yes, but ...... That's not a reason for you to do anything! β
Marie Akai was so angry that her teeth were gritted, and her eyes flashed with an uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion, chasing Shiraya with a pillow and fighting.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong."
η½ε€ says:
"Don't come, you've soiled this ship!"
Mary Akai looked down, and indeed the ship was stained with blood from her nail piercing her feet.
She stood up and glanced at Bai Ye angrily:
"You wait for me to go to the bathroom and wash up, and then I'll come to you to settle accounts."
β¦β¦
Night.
High-rise buildings glitter in the light, highlighting the city's prosperity.
But under the splendor of this flower, it also stands above sin.
The high crime rate hangs like a dark cloud over everyone in New York City.
As usual, Gwen wanders around the corners of the city after solving the robbers in a few small alleys with a few looting.
"Black cat?"
Suddenly, Gwen spotted the black cat, just like her, roaming over the city.
Dressed in a black leather suit, clinging to the S-curved figure, with long snow-white hair, cat ears, and a fluffy tail.
That's the supervillain Gwen has been trying to catch, the gem thief Black Cat.
"I've finally caught you again, this time I'll see how you escape!"
Gwen excitedly followed.
"Huh?"
Filicia, who was excited about the gem she had in her hand and was about to go home, was activated by the danger prediction, and immediately the cat's ears were erected, and when she looked into the distance, she saw Spider-Woman running over.
βshitοΌβ
Felicia scolded.
Because of the reason of being the CEO of Venus Energy for Bai Ye, the pressure was too great, which caused Felicia to be very unhappy some time ago, so, in order to relieve the pressure, she resumed the family ancestral craft of running out at night to steal gems to relieve pressure.
Every time she sees a gem in her hand, she will be very happy, and the gem that Bai Ye gave her directly is not attractive - a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is better than stealing, stealing is better than stealing, and things that cannot be obtained have always been the most precious.
It's just that Felicia didn't expect that she had only played a few times before she was targeted by Spider-Woman.
This abominable stinky spider was right with her, and every time he came to trouble her.
Felicia wanted to escape, but couldn't, and was stopped by Gwen.
"Listen to Spider-Woman, I don't want to be your enemy, but you don't want to push me either."
Since she couldn't dodge, Felicia didn't hide either, and put on a battle stance:
"You don't think I'm really scared of you, do you?"
In Felicia's opinion, Spider-Woman is actually no essential difference from her, she used the Osborne Group's spider serum to obtain superpowers, while she used the ability obtained by using the spider serum's variant Catwoman serum, so even the abilities of the two are even similar.
In her opinion, Spider-Woman may have a brain disease, but because she was lucky, she obtained extraordinary technology, but Spider-Woman seemed to have obtained some mission, and she had to take it as her duty to punish and eliminate evil, and persuaded people all day long: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
Felicia is really convinced of this spider, your ability comes from Osborne, not from the people of New York, you don't want to repay Osborne, how can you run to take the people of New York as a responsibility?
That's, isn't it?
"I didn't think you were scared of me!" Gwen said, "But it's not right for you to steal someone else's gems!" It's a crime! New York is now my territory, and I will deal with anyone who sins here! β
"You're sick in the head, aren't you?" Felicia pursed her lips and said, "I steal the things of those capitalists and rich people, what is your business?" Want you to be nosy? β
"Are you justified in stealing?" Gwen was incredible: "Others have accumulated a lifetime of wealth, and you have looted it in the blink of an eye, aren't you afraid that others will commit suicide by jumping off a building in despair?" And if everyone is like you for nothing, then who will do the real thing in the future? β
Felicia tossed the red gem in her hand:
"Did you know that gems have a nickname for something like 'poor man's insulator'? The lower class and the middle class, at most, have seen gems in movies and television, but they will never have the happiness of touching gems in their lives. Who can I hurt if I steal gems? The interests of the richest of the rich! β
"And when I steal these gems, I don't take a penny from them, and once they are sold on the dark web, I donate all the money to Project Hope to help some people who have no food and clothing, or orphanages, old people's homes, children who can't study, and so on."
- Felicia became the CEO of Venus Energy, and also owns a stake in Venus Energy, of course, there is no shortage of money, so what she said is also true, she just enjoys stealing gems, and as for the money, she donates it.
Gwen was a little overwhelmed, she didn't expect the black cat to steal the gems, and so ...... The reason for simplicity.
rob the rich and help the poor......
Sounds pretty good, but ...... Gwen felt that there was something wrong with the logic in this.
"Either way, it's not right to steal!" Gwen shook her head, threw out the "villain" who was fighting in her head, and looked at the black cat with a serious face: "You have to go to the New York Police Department with me today!" β
"Hehe, then you can try it!"
Felicia sneered.
If it really starts, Felicia doesn't think she will lose to Spider-Woman, but they are all products of advanced technology, where are you Spider-Woman better than me?
Just because of a little more moral cleanliness?
In fact, people with superpowers, like Felicia, who do whatever they want and do whatever they want, account for the majority, and there are only a few people like Gwen who take fighting crime as their own responsibility, so there are endless supervillains in New York.
In the dark of night, the moonlight falls on the tall buildings.
Spider-Woman VS Black Cat.
The black cat was the first to attack, and she leapt up the tall building like black lightning, her claws flashing with cold light, and she pounced on Spider-Woman.
Spider-Woman quickly dodged the black cat's attack and immediately launched her own spider silk to bind the black cat tightly.
As the black cat struggled, Spider-Woman pounced on her, trying to lock it down.
However, Black Cat is not so easy to deal with, and she is familiar with all kinds of fighting skills.
She dodged Spider-Woman's arms and, with her claws, cut through the webs that enveloped her.
"Damn spider!"
The black cat scolded, and used her flexible advantage to use the "meow meow" boxing technique she had studied for a long time against Spider-Woman.
Not to be outdone, Spider-Woman's spider fist is not dry.
Their movements are extremely fast and precise.
Gradually, the anger was raised.
Powerful forces collide in the air, creating a violent shock wave.
The surrounding buildings and streets were affected, and debris was scattered everywhere.
"Wow, guess what I saw? A battle between a spider and a cat. β
I don't know when, a blood-red female figure appeared at the scene of the battle between Spider Woman and the black cat, and she watched the fight between the two women with great interest.
"Who are you?"
Felicia and Gwen made another move, and then separated, both looking at the comer warily.
The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.
Don't let them fight here to the death, and let an outsider take them both.
"I'm the superhero 'Toxin', but ......," Mary Jane said with some distress, "those fans of mine have given me a nickname that I don't really like - Scarlet Spider-Woman!" β
It was Mary Jane.
After following Eddie on a trip to the Life Foundation, Mary Jane obtained the symbiote toxin, and when she returned to New York, Mary Jane couldn't hold back her turmoil and ran out to be a superhero and fight crime.
Because of the powerful ability of the toxin, in a short period of time, Mary Jane broke out of the nickname of Scarlet Spider-Woman.
After all, the symbiote's tentacle ability is really somewhat similar to Spider-Woman's spider silk.
Felicia was immediately alarmed.
Spider-Woman and Scarlet Spider-Woman are both so-called superheroes, and she is a "thief" here.
These two aren't going to join forces to deal with her, are they?
Felicia rolled her eyes and said, "Scarlet Spider-Woman, I know you, a very powerful superhero, I think, you are much more powerful than Spider-Woman!" β
οΌ
Gwen was a little unconvinced.
What, I'm the real Spider-Woman, okay?
Why is this scarlet Spider-Woman, who imitates me, more powerful than me?
"Huh, huh?" Mary Jane laughed, "But even if you compliment me, I'll catch you, black cat!" I've also heard the legend that you're stealing gems everywhere...... I'm a superhero, and it's my job to deal with criminals like you. β
"Of course, that's as it should be." Felicia said, "When I saw Scarlet Spider-Woman coming, I knew I couldn't escape, after all, you are so powerful. β
She looked distressed and said, "But Lord Scarlet Spider-Woman, this Spider-Woman is also going to arrest me, which of you should I surrender to?" β
"Of course it's me!" *2
Gwen and Mary Jane looked at each other, and sparks welled up in both of their eyes.
In Gwen's opinion, although this Scarlet Spider-Woman is also a "superhero" who has recently become a little famous, she has appeared for too short a time, and she doesn't know anything about her at all, so why should she hand over the black cat that she is about to "have" to take away?
And Mary Jane's opinion, Spider-Woman, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, I will have the skills she knows, she won't, I will, everyone is a superhero, in the matter of punishing rape and eliminating evil, I don't need to give away the "credit" I have received?
Felicia had already laughed in her heart, but said with an innocent face: "Otherwise, the two of you will fight first, and whoever wins, I will surrender to whom, how about it?" β
"Humph!"
The two of them looked at Felicia at the same time.
This little smashed and actually used a discord meter.
But Gwen and Mary Jane really ate this set, and it was a bit of a mouse-throwing device for a while.
Mary Jane has long been unhappy with Spider-Woman, and returned to New York to be a superhero, but someone insisted on giving her the superhero nickname "Scarlet Spider-Woman", making her seem to be imitating Spider-Woman, how could it be? She is who she is, and she is by no means a bad imitation of anyone.
And Gwen looked at Mary Jane and didn't feel very comfortable, and was nicknamed "Scarlet Spider-Woman", didn't she come to steal her name? is arrogant, and does not give himself the face of this genuine spider woman at all, what's the matter, piracy wants to replace the genuine version? It's too much!
"Aren't you going to fight?" Felicia sneered, "If you don't decide who will arrest me, then I'll leave first, and come back to me next time." β
As she spoke, Felicia used the "spider silk" to leave the roof of the building.
- Felicia also has a device that resembles a spider launcher, but her spider silk is not commonly used, and is only occasionally used for escape.
"Stop!"
Gwen and Mary Jane simultaneously fired the "Spider Silk" at Felicia, but the two of them stuck to each other in mid-air and lost their effectiveness, allowing Felicia to escape.
"Damn!"
Gwen and Mary Jane looked at each other again, and they both hated each other.
The two men chased after Felicia.
But because Gwen and Mary Jane were holding each other back, the two of them had the effect of one plus one being less than one, and Felicia easily escaped.
"Forget it!"
Gwen stood on a tall building, watching between the tall buildings that Felicia had disappeared without a trace, and shook her head with a wry smile.
At this time, Gwen had already figured out that robbing the rich and helping the poor could not be defined as "justice", but it could not be blindly defined as "evil".
There is no such thing as absolute justice, and robbing the rich and helping the poor certainly has its righteousness, and "justice" is originally the justice in people's hearts.
Justice and injustice all depend on one degree.
Balance is justice, bigotry is evil.
When the harvest is scarce, who will object to stealing some rice from the rich and getting some food for the poor? But in the fat year, it is unjust to rob the rich of all their money and share it with the poor.
But what is this degree, this is a question that philosophers have debated for hundreds of years. Should we completely liberalize and practice absolute liberalism like the Netherlands once did? Should it be slightly controlled? Should the needs of the elite be focused on first? Or should we focus on the interests of the common people first and build a stable welfare society? Or should everyone eat together and practice......
In short, Gwen feels that this kind of question is currently unanswered.
As for the black cat, Gwen felt that if she was dangling in front of her eyes, she would still have to catch her, but if she didn't do anything too much, she didn't have to chase her tirelessly.
- Black cats are not good people, but they are not bad either.
"It's all to blame on the abominable Spider-Woman!"
Mary Jane stood on a building opposite Gwen with her chest crossed and snorted.
She hated Spider-Woman before, and after this battle, she hated it even more.
Mary Jane was a little annoyed.
She hates Spider-Woman, but Spider-Woman is one of the three Avengers, so should she join the Avengers?
Recently, the hottest topic in New York is undoubtedly whether to join the League of Superheroes.
In addition to the Watchmen League led by Black Superman, the Avengers League formed by Spider-Woman, Iron Man, and Blue Devil is also about to be established.
The era of superheroes fighting alone has passed, and future superheroes, if they don't want to be marginalized, can only continue to survive by joining the superhero league and working together.
How can an independent superhero, unless it is strong enough to be a black superman, compete with the team-based and logistical Overwatch and the Avengers?
I can't catch up with the hot food!
In this team of superheroes that swept all the superheroes, except for mature superhero teams like Xavier Academy and the Fantastic Four, most of them are thinking about whether it is time to join the Watchmen League or join the Avengers.
Mary Jane whispered, "Eh, hasn't Eddie's predecessor already joined the Wardens Alliance?" Or...... Ask Add how he is doing in the Warden League? β
β¦β¦
The next day, after the afternoon.
Daily Clarion Journal.
Add saw that it was almost time to get off work, so he was ready to pack up his things and leave.
βshitοΌ What kind of rubbish is this! Litter! Litter! Do you want me to show this kind of garbage to my readers? It's going to stain their eyes! fuckοΌ What's the difference between this and forcibly feeding a hot Xiang into their mouths? β
James, the owner of the daily Clarion newspaper, scolded a novice reporter in his office.
After scolding the novice reporter to the point of being disgraced and almost crying, James stopped the noise, walked out of the office, and came to Eddie:
"Add, your manuscript is well written, and you will polish this manuscript! Let those who have just entered the newspaper and see your strength. β
"I'm sorry." Eddie said slowly, "I'm off work!" β
"What are you talking about? We are journalists, if we pay attention to commuting, how can we find hot news? James said arrogantly: "The Clarion Daily didn't say that it was off work!" Hurry up, the manuscript is handed over to you! I'm going to see it on my desk by 7 o'clock tonight. Who told you to write well? Eddie, this is the opportunity for the company to give you exercise, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, maybe the next editor-in-chief of the Clarion Daily, it will be you? β
βnoοΌβ Eddie still refused: "Exercise me? James, don't you train yourself? I remember that before you founded Clarion Daily, you were also a reporter, but because you became the owner of the newspaper, you haven't written your own manuscript for a long time, and now it's time to exercise. β
βOKοΌ You're fired! β
James said mercilessly:
"Clarion Daily doesn't need a lazy employee like you."
James thought that this would make Eddie compromise, because he knew that Eddie was a poor man, and without this job, he would be bankrupt.
As soon as he said something like fire, Eddie would immediately beg him not to fire himself, he would work overtime to write the press release that Clarion Daily needed.
"Fuck your sister!"
To James's surprise, Eddie took off his badge without hesitation and threw it directly at James:
"I'm not going to do it anymore! You miserly vampire! Let us work overtime all day long, but we don't pay much overtime! Labor and management have endured you for a long time! Now, I've found a part-time job that earns 1.5 times more than the Clarion Daily salary, and I don't need to put up with it. See you again in Nima! β
Add turned and walked away.
Leaving behind James, who has been stupid.
Add left the Clarion Daily and arrived at the Overwatch League Building, smiling and checking in.
The work of the Watchmen League is much more leisurely.
There are no major tasks recently, and he can even lie in his own exclusive room in the Watchmen League Building, drink fat house happy water, and watch dramas.
"Add, there's a mission here that I need you to do."
Suddenly, Upshire used remote communication to notify Add, who was watching the show.
Confused, Add came to Epshire's office:
"What task? Are there any supervillains to deal with? β
"It's not." "I've called you here because we've completed the acquisition of Sykes Technologies, and I'm preparing a press release, Eddie, I heard you're not a gold medal reporter?" The manuscript you wrote must be better than mine, so this task will be handed over to you. β
Add: "??? β
I worked overtime to write press releases in the Daily Clarion Daily, and in the Watchmen League, I had to work overtime to write press releases, so didn't I add this Watchmen League in vain?
As long as I can endure hardship, there will be endless suffering?
What kind of human suffering is this?
After Eddie struggled to write the press release that Epshire had requested, he picked up his phone and found the message that White Night had sent him earlier, inviting him to go out for a drink.
Speaking of which, Addis isn't sleepy.
He sent the manuscript to Epshire by e-mail, and went out to find a white night drink.
"I'm looking for you, mainly Mary Jane has something to ask you." In the bar, Bai Ye was blunt and said, "If she wants to join the Watchmen Alliance, let's ask you how you are doing in the Watchmen Alliance?" β
"Mary Jane joins the Watchmen League?" Eddie looked at her in surprise and said, "With the relationship between the two of you, isn't it good to join the Avengers?" β
"Mostly I hate Spider-Woman and don't want to be in the same place as her." Mary Jane also said bluntly: "And I and Eddie's seniors, don't you still have a comradeship?" We went together at the Life Foundation in San Francisco, and you got the Venom and I got the Toxin. If we join an alliance, we can work together to fight supervillains or investigative journalism. β
"Join the Watchmen Alliance...... It's not impossible. Eddie said: "There is no workplace bullying in it, everyone is very good, the CEO of the alliance, Epshire is a woman, and she also wants to find a golden flower in this alliance full of stinky men, balance, you join the Warden Alliance, just right." β
"Really?"
"What am I lying to you for?" Add shrugged his shoulders and said, "The ability of the toxin is also very strong, and he is fully qualified to join the Warden Alliance. In fact...... Mary Jane, you also have a lot of potential for development when you join the Watchmen League, because with my current strength, there is no doubt that you are second only to Black Superman in the Watchmen League, and you are a veritable number two person. With me, who can bully you? Who would dare to bully you? β
"Really?" Bai Ye smiled and said, "Then you will cover Mary Jane in the future." β
"What else do you need to say?" Eddie patted his chest and said, "It's my duty." β
"Senior Add, I didn't expect you to be so open now?"
Mary Jane was surprised.
The previous Eddie was a pure sling.
"Of course." Eddie said: "It's not blowing to you, Epshire, CEO of the Warden Alliance, what to say in front of the public, what not to say, that's up to me, even if she wants to change a word, she has to discuss with me, get my consent in advance, it's just my mouth, you can see my status in the Wardens Alliance, right?" β
Well, in a way, Eddie didn't lie, because Epshire's press releases, speeches, were all written by him.
Bai Ye smiled and said nothing.
Next.
Eddie talked to Mary Jane about his time in the Warmen League.
made Mary Jane feel that in the Warden Alliance, the atmosphere was really good, and it can be seen that even Eddie's predecessors were so wantonly touting himself and belittling others, and he was not killed.
The banquet is in full swing.
Eddie drank and bragged as he took out his phone and looked at it with "mobile phone anxiety".
He swiped Twitter.
Suddenly.
Eddie's face froze because he followed his ex-girlfriend Anne's Twitter account, which posted multiple photos of her and her boyfriend Dan kissing while traveling.
Bai Ye turned his head to look, and then, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, with a sympathetic look, and sighed:
"This woman is like an egg, the outside, pure on the inside when the skin is peeled off, but yellow on the inside; Men are like mangoes, they are yellow on the outside, and even more yellow on the inside when peeled off; And you are different, you are like a pineapple, the heart is yellow, and the head is still green. β
Add: "......"
