Guo Dong did not participate in the battle for the Fantastic Four to become famous, or the rescue (drama) on the bridge that officially appeared in front of the public for the first time.
After all, he is not a magical being with super powers, so he has stayed by Susan's side. When she fell to her knees weakly after controlling the explosion, she showed great attentiveness and care.
, sparing no effort, waving the small hoe to pry the corner of Li De's wall.
Therefore, as the farce came to an end quickly, amidst the applause and cheers of hundreds and thousands of people around, Li De, Susan and others witnessed with their own eyes Ben, who was applauded by countless people and praised as a hero, but in this
At that time, I don’t know whether I should say it was the darkest time in life, or it was the first time after a big change that I was in the spotlight and loved by people, and I suffered the heaviest blow.
My wife, who once said that they would grow old together, that they would stay together no matter what happened, and never be separated, took off their wedding ring and put it on the ground without any hesitation, and turned around and left without any nostalgia.
"I promise you that."
Seeing this scene, as a friend who had grown up since childhood, and also the most vulnerable and sentimental woman, Susan burst into tears immediately, and the person who felt more sad than her was the culprit who caused all this.
The chief culprit is Li De, who has been protected behind him by his generous back since he was a child without any hesitation and without asking for anything in return.
"I will do my best... Ben, as long as I still have breath! I will definitely let you change back to your original Ben!"
Seeing Li De's serious and guilty look, Ben sighed inwardly after being silent for a long time, and chose to believe him. Guo Dong, who had been silent all this time, also nodded secretly when he saw this scene.
He has no friendship with Reed, and Susan and Johnny's superpowers have not changed their appearance and can be sent and received freely. Without Ben, it would have been impossible for Reed to study the small energy generator and conduct artificial simulation.
And control the cosmic energy storm, allowing people to eliminate the changes caused by energy radiation, or enhance the degree of variation after radiation.
The former is what Ben needs, and the latter is what Guo Dong needs.
Of course, it was also what Victor needed after discovering changes in his body a few days later.
Therefore, in a certain respect, Guo Dong and Victor are natural allies.
"Guo?"
Victor looked at this person who had somehow entered his office and couldn't help but frowned: "How did you get in?"
Without his approval, not even Guo Dong, not even his assistant could come in.
"This is not important. What is important is, Victor, are you willing?"
Guo Dong did not answer Victor how he got in. Instead, the question pointed directly at the biggest pain in his heart: "Just a few days ago, you were a rich man worth billions. You were young and wealthy, suave, and countless
People are captivated by you."
Guo Dong stood up and walked towards the ashen-faced Victor: "But what about now? In just a few days, you invested more than one billion in scientific research funds, and also contributed your launch base, spaceship, and space station. The result was just because
If someone makes a so-called miscalculation, not only will you lose all your money, but your entire business empire will collapse and be destroyed at any time, turning into nothing."
"Even your own body is in trouble. You don't know what it will turn into, whether you will turn into a monster like Ben, or whether you will one day die in pain and despair due to genetic problems.
"
Guo Dong's words were like a knife, and the knife only missed Victor's heart, tearing through all his disguises and masks, and pricking his already unwilling, angry, and resentful heart with holes and holes dripping with blood.
"Victor, are you really willing?"
Another inquiry completely exploded all the resentment and resentment in Victor's heart.
But as a once world-famous rich man and a young self-made rich man, even though he had just experienced the disastrous withdrawal of investment from shareholders and banks, it was the most angry and desperate time, but Victor's fortitude and forbearance were still not lost, or
Said it was not completely lost.
"how about you?"
Victor is indeed unwilling to give in, so why should he?
Originally, he had everything, almost all the good things, wealth, status, and even Susan, which was almost at his fingertips. But when he was caught seriously, everything was gone and turned into bubbles and jokes. Even he himself was facing death.
threaten.
The culprit who caused all of this has become a popular hero. At this time, he is completely opposite to him, occupying all the news and newspaper headlines, and using this as the final blow to completely push him into the abyss.
Why doesn't he hate it?
How could he not complain?
But he would not admit this easily or tell others easily.
Especially Guo Dong, a guy who suddenly appeared: "I remember you have a good relationship with them, and now you live with them day and night. Why did you come to me and sow discord, trying to make me fall into your language trap?"
Here, to hate and enmity them?"
Listening to Victor's words, which were still pretending not to mind, or the last dead duck, Guo Dong chuckled lightly, and then snorted coldly: "Really? But they have also withstood the cosmic storm.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, DAN has also been changed, and we are also facing the death threat of genetic collapse."
Guo Dong's voice suddenly rose, and his tone could not hide his hatred of injustice and cynical resentment: "Why can they obtain those magical powers and become popular superheroes, but I can only become a useless person?"
The homeless dog who has lost his home is following behind them like an unnoticed ant, lingering there and being sniffed by others?"
Victor looked at Guo Dong's hysterical look, frowned for a long time and then suddenly relaxed, but he did not believe Guo Dong: "That's your resentment, what does it have to do with me?"
Guo Dong slammed the table, then took a few deep breaths: "Because we are the same person!"
"Because of him, Nuo Da's company was wiped out. And I, a rich second-generation Chinese heir, have now lost the qualification to inherit tens of billions of assets because of this incident!"
"No one would choose as heir a person who may become a monster at any time, or whose genes may mutate and collapse and die at any time!"
Guo Dong roared and walked over, grabbing Victor's shoulders: "We were all once masters, the noblest and richest people in the world, who could play with all living beings like ants!"
"But what about now? Now we have become the ants that we once played with and looked down upon. It is even possible that we can't even be ants. Why don't I hate it!?"
Having said this, Guo Dong paused and softened his tone: "Victor, we are all the same people. We would rather die than be mediocre people! We would rather be broken into pieces than compete with wild dogs for food."
Ants!"
"Since we can't be rich anymore, let's become gods! Either we die in a grand manner, or we dominate all living beings and control the world!"
The two people looked at each other, with no affection or love, only suspicion, calmness, silence, longing, recognition, and finally the frozen madness.
"But the world may not need a god to rule them!"
Victor's madness has emerged, but he still has one last concern, not about himself, but about Guo Dong's final temptation.
"Then let them prepare for the arrival of the devil!"
Guo Dong's words made Victor's last guard and suspicion dissipate. However, as Guo Dong took the initiative to surrender, Victor still needed him to submit a certificate of surrender.
After all, even if he is in crisis now, he is still as skinny as a camel and is bigger than a horse. He is far stronger than Guo Dong, a wealthy second-generation foreigner with unknown origins who was abandoned and expelled.
In addition, it must be mentioned that Victor, who is also a "foreigner", has a certain natural affection for Guo Dong, who although not from the same hometown, is also rejected by this country. Although it is not much, at this time, he has a certain affection for him.
Enough to become an important bargaining chip.
"Do you know Ned?"
After being silent for a long time, Victor suddenly said something like this without any reason.
"The American who wants to defund you, push you into the abyss, and still laughs at you as a country boy from a backward country?"
Guo Dong certainly knew about this person, or in other words, he had already checked this person's information before coming.
"Yes, that's him."
Needless to say, the rest is what Guo Dong expected. After all, he would not unconditionally trust someone who suddenly came to ask him to be a bad guy.
A hero from Liangshan still needs to submit a name certificate when he goes up to the mountain to join a gang!
So when Victor just received the news of Ned's death the next day and Guo Dong appeared in front of him, Victor also put down his last guard and distrust, smiled happily and took the initiative to greet Guo Dong and hug him, and
I opened my best wine collection and shared it with Guo Dong.
There is no friendship between Victor and Guo Dong, only interests, but you have to admit that sometimes, the pure interest relationship is more indestructible and more trustworthy!
Especially for people like Victor and Guo Dong, who can never become gentlemen.
"Do you have any ideas for what's next?"
After clinking glasses, Victor suddenly asked Guo Dong about his plans.
"I am ready to fully support Li De's research."
Guo Dong's words made Victor pause, and he looked at him in confusion: "Why?"
"Because of Ben."
Victor basically knows everything about what Reed has been doing recently. After all, the room where the two of them are sitting and tasting wine has a device monitor that monitors Reed's every move.
"Book?"
Victor was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing.
"Okay, Ben and I have known each other for many years. I'll handle it for him."
Talking to smart people means building a university. Without Guo Dong's explanation, Victor already understood Guo Dong's plan.
Although that's not correct.
"I'm going to help Li De conduct specific experiments."
Guo Dong's words made Victor turn his head: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"People will always die in this life. Rather than lingering and living like a stray dog, it is better to die to gain strength and die on the road to becoming a god!"
Guo Dong's words made Victor laugh from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time, he became more wary of Guo Dong.
After all, anyone would be afraid of a madman who is not a good person and doesn't even care about his own death.
