Marvel’s Speedsters

In order to compete for the headlines, reporters arrived at the cutting-edge science and technology laboratory in upstate New York very early that day, and before the eight o’clock struck, the spacious and bright press conference hall was already filled with journalists from various media, who did not wait for the conference to be officially held, and had already set up long | guns and short cannons in advance to the speakers.

Among the more than a hundred journalists, Peter Parker, an old classmate of Ross and who has been working for the Daily Horn, sat in the front row, and with his friendship with Ross, he was able to rank alongside famous reporters from major newspapers.

Now Peter is no longer the bad luck of the past Spider-Man, no longer like himself in another world, not only his own misfortune, but also family and friends will be implicated in bad luck.

After the rise of Ross, Peter also enjoyed many conveniences. With S.T.A.R., an increasingly valued news source, Peter’s career as a journalist has been smooth, he has been struggling with his livelihood, his aunt Mei is in her sixties, he has to fight for jobs with young people to support his family, he himself has to roam the streets with a camera in order to get a little valuable clue, he can’t even juggle college courses, almost like illegal immigrants selling cheap labor, repeating unpromising jobs all day.

But now from Ross, Peter can get a lot of information that others can’t, which immediately puts him in the position of reporter. And this enthusiastic old classmate often introduced him to some celebrities he knew, which further broadened his horizons and enriched his experience. With these advantages, Peter quickly became the top reporter for the tabloid, and the owner, James, took him very seriously, taught him many interview tricks, and found a partner for Peter.

So now our Spider-Man no longer has to run alone with a camera, and his photography tasks are replaced by newcomer Andy, who also doubles as his assistant.

“Pete, after the interview in a while, can I ask Mr. Byrne to sign it, he is my idol.” Handsome Andy was working for the first time and was quite uplifted.

“Of course, but don’t interfere with his work, you should know that Ross has been busy lately.” Pete’s senior admonished the assistant, and Andy immediately nodded his head.

These two people will not know that they have had a grudge on another timeline because of work, and have been possessed by powerful alien creature venom, once fighting to the death, Mary Jane was almost thrown off the building by them, even the little Green Goblin Harry died because of it, and finally Andy lost his life, and Peter also lost his best friend.

In this world, all the gloom that has been clouded in front of these people has disappeared because of Ross’s appearance, Harry and Mary Jane are safe, the other two are just working relationships, Peter is a rising star who is highly regarded by the upper echelons of the newspaper, and Andy is an intern to help him.

That’s all.

The pair were talking, when people nearby suddenly shouted.

“Ross came out, and the police.”

Following the microphone of their peers, the two people from the Clarion Daily saw the target of this interview.

Ross walked at the front of the line, followed by Dr. Connors, followed by a spokesman sent by the New York police, in addition to an unfamiliar face.

“Is there any unexpected development?” Peter thought to himself that this time Ross hid the secret very tightly, and he did not ask questions, not wanting to harm his old classmates to lose points in the competition.

Taking the people to their seats, Ross went straight to the point.

“Dear friends, today’s press conference is jointly organized by the cutting-edge laboratory and the New York City Police Department, first of all, I ask Officer Barr to brief you on the investigation of the case.”

Following the guidance of his arm, the cameras in the audience turned to the police spokesman.

“Hello everyone.” After a brief introduction, the spokesperson began to introduce the case.

“At 8:11 on the night of the crime, the Municipal Police Department Alarm Center received the first citizen call informing him of a shootout near St. John’s Cathedral on West 110th Street, and five minutes later patrol officers arrived at the scene and dispersed the armed men who were attacking Mr. Byrne.”

In his statement, some details were reconfirmed. The body of the vehicle under attack was painted black with a cutting-edge laboratory “S.T.A.R.” on the side. In addition to more than twenty burned cars, there were innocent injured people who fell to the ground, the police quickly blocked the scene after arrival, and the ambulance immediately transported the injured away, but in addition to some bodies, the whereabouts of other thugs have not been found for the time being, which shows that this case is a major case that has been carefully planned, and the police are fully investigating.

According to later statistics, fourteen passers-by were hit by stray bullets and debris from the explosion in the shootout, two other bodyguards and six citizens were seriously injured, some nearby buildings were destroyed, and it is believed that a suspected superpower appeared, but was desperately repelled by well-trained bodyguards.

“According to the inspection department, more than 170 warheads were found in the body of the attacked vehicle, of which eleven warheads were embedded in the bulletproof glass of the window, if the glass had not been specially thickened, it would probably have been completely shattered by external forces, and the people inside might have been killed, which is a very dangerous situation.” We are currently investigating other clues other than the attack, but from my many years of experience in criminal offences, the inference that the attack was a drama is unfounded. ”

Barr is an old policeman in his fifties, gray hair, and a tough figure, when he made a conclusion with a straight face, everyone was more convinced, and for a while the reporters who had participated in questioning Ross’s self-directed and self-acted attack case were inevitably a little embarrassed.

However, media workers usually put their personal emotions behind reason, so they still asked some questions about the details of the case, and Officer Barr replied one by one that could be answered, and reserved the parts that needed to be kept secret for the time being.

After the police spoke to the objective facts, it was Ross’s turn.

“That’s roughly what happened, Officer Barr’s description is basically the same as what we know, now allow us to add some new clues.” There is this gentleman, Dr. Aspen Jefferson from Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. ”

As soon as Ross stretched out his hand, the stranger stood up.

He was Dr. Jefferson, who first discovered Jimmy, who had a private collaboration with Watsonton Pharmaceutical, and after Ross got what he wanted, he deliberately maintained this dark line in order to one day come in handy.

For the lab, Jefferson is like a key, although he can’t be used to break through a strong fortress, but he can be used to open a side door of Watsonton Pharmaceutical, take out some of the things inside and expose it to the sun for the world to see.

Next, the doctor released some information about his past cooperation with Watsonton, both evidence of the industry’s common interest transmission and some private and obscure requests from drug manufacturers, such as collecting negative news about patients who use Phinex during treatment, and even hints that patients can be encouraged to actively cooperate with fraud to obtain returns.

From a legal and logical point of view, this evidence does not directly prove that Watsons and Ross were attacked, at most, it exposed the unspoken rules common in the industry to the public and was denounced by the world. But they at least show that Watsons does have a strong hostility toward cutting-edge labs.

This provides theoretical support for Ross’s next attack.

Jefferson’s speech ended hastily amid questioning from reporters, and then Ross stood up and picked up the microphone.

“Everyone knows that I used to be a villain.”

Ignoring the exchange of heads below, Rostan said bluntly.

“Because of the changes in my family, I lost my happy family since childhood, when I fooled around outside all day and used violence to vent my dissatisfaction with fate. My girlfriend Mary Jane knew that I had blackmailed students from an entire Queens Middle School to the point where they would not dare to eat breakfast every day just to save a few dollars to cope with my extortion. I was a jerk at the time, but I wasn’t happy, I was living in hell, no relatives, no friends, no pursuits, and the only right thing I did in ten years was to spend all the money I had stolen on scientific research, because only then could I feel like a rogue. Day after day, year after year, some of my classmates have set goals in life or gained external recognition, and I am still stuck in place. ”

Everyone had heard what he said, but Ross’s attitude seemed sincere and sincere, so the people below did not talk about it like they did just now.

“Until one day, I met Spider-Man, he woke me up, I felt like I had a long nightmare, but this dream was finally waking up. I began to face my situation, and for the first time in many years I realized that maybe I had indeed fallen into the abyss, maybe a little closer, but this was not a reason for me to give up on myself, I needed to pick myself up, change my life, like a real man, not to bully the weak, but to fight, to fight, to fight for what I lost, to return to normal society, to be responsible for myself and my family. ”

Ross gradually became excited, while speaking, while clenching his fists and shaking them vigorously, the reporters looked at the front in amazement, and began to be infected by his emotions.

For this testimonial, among the hundreds of peers, Peter, who sits in the front row, is particularly moved, because in Ross’s narrative, he is the variable that changes fate.

“Many friends know how difficult it is to break inertia, which not only means changes in familiar life conditions, but also faces various adverse changes in material and environmental conditions. And for my beginning, the difficulties were doubled, because in addition to the villain Ross, there was Dr. Connors, who had suffered major setbacks, he also suffered the same blow as me, in the most difficult time, we sold all the property we could sell, but we never thought of giving up, because we all firmly believed that through hard work, we can get a better life—- we have a common dream! ”

Pointing his finger to his forehead, Ross said aloud. His voice was almost like the thick sound of a church bell, silent the audience, leaving only his own sound waves echoing in the hall. And his words seemed to confirm the American dream that has been deeply believed in by generations of Americans since 1776, and as the speech deepened, the people below involuntarily sat up straight and listened intently.

Although anyone who has had some social experience knows that behind the American dream is not as beautiful | good as people think, but this is the political correctness that has always been strongly advocated by the mainstream of society, even if you scoff, you can’t help but admit its inspirational effect, and it seems that Ross’s experience does prove the real existence of this beautiful dream. Unlike the ancient Watsons Pharmaceutical, the creation of the cutting-edge laboratory was completed in this year, and everyone here can be said to have watched it and Ross grow step by step, so everyone listened to it and their hearts could not help but be touched.

As people’s emotions were gradually attracted, Ross’s voice gradually became heavy from passionate and generous, like a dark cloud covering everyone’s hearts.

“I know that no one can succeed forever, and God never shelters just one person. After success, challenges will come, this is the test God has given us, I will gladly accept that competition is the best evolutionary path, consumers and markets will tell us who is really the right party. But despicable means are not among them! ”

Ross’s voice rose sharply, and it emitted a sonorous tone like the impact of metal, making people faintly look forward to his upcoming declaration.

“Murder, denigration, bribery of third parties to cheat… This is not normal business practice, the other party is experienced, and maybe we can’t confirm their evil conspiracy in the end, but will we remain silent for fear of offending the strong, indulging in the fantasy of hope and waiting for the painful reality to come? No, it won’t! We are going to the battlefield and fighting the opponent! ”

With his enthusiastic gestures, the spirits of everyone below were shocked.

Connors next to him also chimed in at the right time.

“As you know, the main product of the cutting-edge laboratory, Finix Pharmacy Stock Solution, costs $2,500 per 400 mg and $3,500 for 600 mg, and we used to supply the market at this price, but now with the cost leveling and the process breakthrough, we have decided to reduce the price by more than half from now on, that is, the 400 mg format is changed to 1,200 US dollars, 600 mg is 1,700 US dollars, and at the same time double the free treatment quota.”

The doctor’s tone was calm, but this news made the reporter most excited, and the atmosphere exploded with a bang on the scene, and now everyone knows that the cutting-edge laboratory will compete with the pharmaceutical companies represented by Watsons Pharmaceuticals into a white-hot stage.

Price cuts to this extent, basically traditional companies are unprofitable, equal to the most profitable product share in the same field is taken away by S.T.A.R., as the company that overlaps with the direction of cutting-edge laboratory research the most, Watsons can no longer remain calm, even if he wants to avoid suspicion.

Thinking about the possible changes in the future, everyone present was excited, and with the nature of media workers, they couldn’t wait to see the two companies, old and new, burst into a lot of sparks in full force collision.

It is best to keep the news every day and make headlines often, so that readers will be attracted and the miserly boss will be willing to give his reporters a promotion and a raise.

Ross looked at the sensation below with satisfaction, and slowly made a final statement.

This time his voice was not high and his tone was not tough, but no one would disturb him anymore, and each of the more than a hundred journalists closed their mouths and | and crowded forward, holding up the microphone and camera lens and reaching out in front of him like a forest.

“I wouldn’t say that our enemy is an industry leader, a multinational giant that has the most research on the genes of ordinary humans and mutants; And will not think about how huge its scale is, how many cutting-edge laboratories can be easily crushed by a market value of 100 billion, how many Ross Byrne … When I made my decision, I didn’t even think about whether the ultimate victory of this competition belonged to us and what we might lose. But I share the conviction of my colleagues at the top of the lab that since we can build all this from scratch, then we should shoulder our mission and declare war on irrationality. ”

His words did not name Watsonton Pharmaceuticals, but every word was not misunderstood, and some young people were moved by Ross’s confident gesture, while others were contempted by the message of Ross’s words, and that was exactly what he wanted.

After a short and powerful statement, the press conference came to an end.

“In conclusion, I want to say that justice will triumph.”

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, the golden sunlight of the morning fell on Ross like silk through the skylight overhead, dressing him up like a golden-armored god of war|.
