Chapter 892 The plan (successor 2) (for the stone in the wood 9/10)
However, just when the villain was about to speak, his expression froze!
Phil saw a strong silver light in the villain's eyes, and then, a beam of particles condensed into the villain's chest, knocking him backwards and flying away.
Phil was so frightened that he screamed, his tie was burned off by the beam, and he fell out of the skyscraper!
But he didn't fall down, instead he was suspended in the air.
A ray of light quickly flashed past his side. The villain got up from the ground and wanted to fight back, but was pinned to the ground and beaten violently by the ray of light, leaving him completely powerless to fight back.
The other superhero suspended in the air concentrated on placing Phil, who was suspended in the air, safely on the roof of the building.
In shock, Phil saw his saviors clearly: two superheroes from Hope City.
They are the superhero "Silver Light" and the female superhero "Crystal" who has not yet been ranked but has recently become famous.
"Silver Light Man" is a handsome Caucasian man whose skin shines with a bright silver light. His super power is that he can emit or transform into a beam of light to attack enemies at extremely fast speeds;
"Crystal" is a beauty with an angelic face and a hot figure. She wears white and gold tights. When she uses her superpower, her eyes will emit a rich light, dazzling like crystal, and she is extremely beautiful.
"Silver Light Man" eliminated the powerful villain at an extremely fast speed, while "Crystal" came to Phil, leaned over slightly, and smiled condescendingly: "Mr. Phil, what a coincidence, we meet again.
.”
"Silver Light Man" said with sarcasm on his lips: "Mr. Fair, your 'money ability' seems to be somewhat ineffective in this situation."
"But don't worry, Hope City is still one of the safest cities in the world because we are here."
"Come, let's take a photo together?"
Silver Light Man came to Phil without any explanation, took out his mobile phone, and took a photo with a click.
Phil was soaked all over, his hair was messy, his nose and tears were flowing on his face, and there was a wet spot on his crotch, which made him extremely embarrassed; while Silver Light Man was clean, tidy, and calm, forming a very sharp contrast between the two.
…
The camera turned and a photo of Phil and Silver Flash appeared on the "Hope News" TV program.
A news commentator is introducing the news event to all viewers.
"Last night, there was a kidnapping case near Sixth Avenue. Phil Simmons, CEO of Simmons Media, was kidnapped by the gangsters. Fortunately, the superheroes 'Silver Light Man' and 'Crystal' happened to be nearby and arrived as soon as possible.
Save Phil."
"The gangster has been detained by the police, and what awaits him may be more than ten years in prison..."
"Interestingly, at a charity dinner just three days ago, Phil Simmons spent a lot of money donating $1 million to the Super Hero Association and made a high-profile show of love to the superhero Crystal."
"'Crystal' politely declined Phil's advances, but Phil immediately stated on Twitter that he would never give up. And 'Silver Light Man', who was also pursuing 'Crystal', publicly stated that he would marry Mr. Simmons
fair play."
"After this kidnapping case, Mr. Simmons has not appeared in public, and his Twitter has not been updated. However, his personal doctor said that Mr. Simmons's health is not serious, but he has a slight seizure after being frightened.
The stress reaction requires a period of rest. During this period, Mr. Simmons will close the door and stop all public activities..."
There was a "pop" sound and the TV turned off.
"Crystal" wearing everyday clothes leaned on the sofa in his mansion and said with a straight face: "This time it was too blunt. As long as Mr. Simmons is not stupid, he should be able to realize the problem."
"Sixth Avenue is a wealthy area with the most patrolled superheroes. There are very few blind gangsters who would choose to commit crimes there. What's more, they stopped Phil Simmons' sports car directly on the road. This was almost...
Say to the superheroes patrolling the sky: Come and get me.”
"If you told me this plan in advance, I would never agree."
"The Simmons family is worth at least several billion. Phil Simmons is the only son in the family. If he has any shortcomings, the two of us will also be affected."
The "Silver Light Man" sitting next to him smiled: "Dear, don't worry. You have just become a superhero not long ago, so it is normal to not understand these things. Just leave it to me to handle it."
"It just needs to be obvious enough to make this brainless playboy who only knows how to think with his lower body realize that he is afraid and retreat."
"Otherwise, if he pursues you so persistently, it will cause you and me a lot of trouble."
"Mr. Simmons must be so frightened that he is hiding in the arms of a young model in his mansion and calling his mother, right?"
"As for the so-called 'retaliation'... there is no need to worry at all. The Simmons family is just one of the rich families in Hope City. Apart from money and real estate business, they have no strength or power."
"They did win over a few politicians and a few low-profile superheroes through political donations, but they can't get evidence, and they can't break up with us because of a false alarm or just suspicion."
"Even if Phil Simmons doesn't know how much he is trying his best, his father must know it. Ryan Simmons will never come to trouble us and will only let his son take care of his lower body."
"Crystal" asked again: "What if he wants to become a superhero himself?"
Silver Light Man laughed and said: "Who? Phil? Absolutely impossible. How can a person like that become a superhero? This is really the most outrageous joke I have heard this year!"
"So, dear, just keep it in your heart, I guarantee that Mr. Simmons who was so scared that he wet his pants will never have the face or the confidence to pester you."
As Silver Light Man spoke, he moved closer to the "Crystal".
"Crystal's" eyes instantly lit up with crystal-like light, and he used his mind power to push Silver Light Man aside through meditation.
"Honey, isn't it?"
Silver Light Man looked helpless.
"Crystal" showed a very cold smile: "I am still in the public inspection period. My agent said that no scandals must be exposed at this stage, otherwise it will affect my selection."
Silver Light Man spread his hands: "It's okay, no one will know..."
The smile on "Crystal's" face gradually disappeared: "Get out."
Silver Light Man was very helpless: "OK, OK."
He came to the side door of the mansion and looked back reluctantly, but he only heard a "bang" sound, and the side door of the mansion had been closed by "Crystal" with the power of his mind.
Silver Light Man could only sigh helplessly, and quickly turned into a silver light and flew away into the distance.
…
At the same time, downtown Hope, the splendid Simmons Tower.
Phil Simmons looked gloomy and knocked on the door of his father's office.
His father, Ryan Simmons, has blond hair and a burly build. Although he is nearly sixty years old, he is still energetic and has the dignity of a business tycoon.
Ryan Simmons looked up at his son: "Huh?"
Phil gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Father, I want to become a superhero."
Ryan Simmons, who was reading the newspaper, put down the newspaper, took off his reading glasses, and looked his son up and down: "How much do you want?"
Phil said without thinking: "One billion."
Ryan Simmons was silent for a moment, and his expression became serious: "I will give you two billion, but there is a condition."
"No matter what happens in the future, whether you end up in jail or lose your reputation; whether you lose your limbs or lose your family, as long as you are not dead yet, you cannot give up."
"If you can't do it, go back now and don't mention this matter again."
Phil's face became even more gloomy, and the veins on his face were exposed due to clenching his teeth: "Father, I will not let you down!"
Ryan Simmons nodded slightly. He did not speak anymore, but turned to look out the French window.
Countless superheroes shuttle between the tall buildings. There are also huge promotional posters of various superheroes on the buildings, all of which indicate the special status of superheroes in this city.
Phil Simmons was also overlooking this magnificent city, and in his mind, a plan gradually took shape.
"In the decades since Captain World's death, superheroes, Captain World's 'successors', have perfectly integrated into this society."
"In the past, there were many ways to become a superhero. Many superheroes were lone rangers, and many superheroes fell because they lost people's trust."
"Every three to five years, the most powerful superhero may change hands."
"But in the past two decades, this situation has changed. The ways to become a superhero have become fewer and fewer, leaving only a limited number of ways; superheroes all belong to some consortium or organization, regardless of
Act alone again; the ranking of superheroes becomes fixed and rarely changes."
"The rankings of the top four superheroes have not changed in ten years."
"If you want to become a superhero, you generally need the following four steps:"
"The first step is to find a way to become an apprentice and make a successful debut."
"Every year in Hope City, several large brokerage companies or commercial companies search for new people who want to become superheroes, sign contracts with them, and train them through the company's resources."
"Debuting as an individual may encounter a series of problems, such as being suppressed or smeared by other agencies. When you encounter problems, there will be no one to do image public relations for you. Therefore, although you will not be controlled by others when you debut as an individual,
But it’s also a very dangerous thing.”
"The fastest way to make a debut is to participate in talent shows run by some big companies. In these talent shows, superhero mentors will arrange a lot of daily training to ensure that these apprentices have enough potential to become a superhero."
"The second step is that the superhero after his debut will successfully accumulate a certain number of supporters and obtain preliminary superpowers. Depending on the number of supporters, the superpowers acquired by the superhero will also be different. Some very popular super heroes
Heroes, such as 'Crystal', can gain very powerful superpowers when they first debut."
"This step is also called the 'observation period'. Superheroes must maintain their image, perform tasks stably, show more faces, improve their status, and accumulate connections. Some idiots were exposed in this step and lost a lot of support.
Otherwise, the superpower will naturally disappear and become an abandoned child."
"The third step is to participate in the superhero campaign."
"After having a certain network of contacts, a certain number of supporters, and gaining recognition from big capital, big consortiums, and the public, a superhero must become the spokesperson of a certain group or group, clarify his own opinions, and speak out on behalf of the fan group.
Perform large-scale missions and prove your abilities to fans."
"At this stage, superheroes will become important assets, and many staff will spontaneously gather under them to provide them with advice."
"The fourth step is to become the top superhero and the most powerful and status person in this city and even the entire United States."
"Every once in a while, major media will rank the top superheroes based on opinion polls and estimates of their strength when performing tasks. The top 10 superheroes are on the list, and the top 4 superheroes will become the center of power.
They have close relationships with politicians and financial groups, and will even participate in some major decisions involving national interests. This list is the ultimate dream of all superheroes."
"But no matter what stage they are at, superheroes must be very careful not to let their dirty information be exposed. Because once this happens, it will cause supporters to disappear and superpowers to decline. Once this vicious cycle starts, it will often
It’s hard to stop.”
"The quickest way to become a superhero is to participate in a talent show."
"But I have a better idea."
"I'm going to make my own talent show called 'Successor'."
