Chapter 314. Message (Part1)

"Sir, someone is looking for you."

In the conference room, the secretary looked at Victor, who was standing with his back towards him, with a clearly fearful expression.

The large number of disappearances in the board of directors had caused discussions among the company's employees. As the secretary who had the most contact with Victor, he had a vague suspicion in her heart. However, just thinking about that possibility, the secretary was too afraid to think any further.

"Who is it?"

Victor's cold voice sounded in the conference room.

"He calls himself Strucker. He's very interested in the meteorite you brought back from your space program."

"..."

Victor fell silent for a moment after hearing the secretary's words, then he spoke up again. "Tell him I'll be there soon."

As he spoke, Victor slowly turned his body around and reached for a silver steel mask on the conference room table, putting it on his face.

...

"Sorry, Aunt May, the application for the project is taking longer than expected due to some problems... No, Aunt May, I haven't been scammed. In fact, Mr. Stark is right here with me. He's helping me take care of the problems."

"Yes, Ma'am."

Picking up the phone while Peter was anxious, Tony looked ahead at the Foundation's containment specialist leading the way and lied with his eyes open, "It's a systemic issue. Mr. Parker made a small mistake in the information he provided, but we were able to help him correct it without much trouble, though it did take a bit of time. In fact, the Stark Foundat.... no, the Cheng Long Foundation, sees great potential in Mr. Parker, and he's exactly what we're looking for in a candidate."

Rolling his eyes at the scene before him, evil Spider-Man looked at Tony with some disdain and said, "This is your solution? One is reporting his situation to a parent, while the other is lying through his teeth?"

"That's because Aunt May cares about us."

Faced with evil Spider-Man's ridicule, the good Spider-Man didn't retaliate. He nodded and said, "Actually, we really are just teenagers. While you were away, we missed a lot of assignments, including the ones assigned by Ms. Mary..."

"Hey, don't lump me in with you. I'm not some kind of lame bookworm. Homework and all that has nothing to do with me."

Crudely interrupting the good Spider-Man's words, the evil Spider-Man yelled with the expression of a stubborn child who refused to do his homework. Homework and all that had nothing to do with him, this Spider-Man who aspired to become a supervillain, who could do whatever he wanted, even if it was illegal.

"You're right, homework and all that is something only lame people need."

Hanging up the phone, Tony heard evil Spider-Man's words and expressed an unusual agreement.

"However, you definitely need it."

Tony said before evil Spider-Man could react. Tony's second sentence was already added, "After all, no matter how you look at it, you don't seem like a clever kid."

"Tony Stark, pshh... you really are as annoying as the rumors say."

"Call me Mr. Stark. You see, I've already reminded you to be respectful, but you still can't seem to get it right."

Tony shrugged and looked at the evil Spider-Man in front of him, his tone seeming helpless.

Clearly, when it came to irritating people, Tony was always up for the challenge.

...

"Mr. Von Doom?"

The bald man wearing a monocle looked at the distinctly different Victor in front of him, his face naturally showing a look of confusion. However, he quickly restrained his expression of doubt and shook hands with Victor, feeling the hard, cold sensation transmitted through his palm.

"You look very different from what the rumors say."

After shaking hands with the man opposite him, Victor withdrew his own hand, and a cold smile appeared on his face under the mask, "I've been planning on changing my image."

"Hmm, a very bold change."

Victor's appearance wasn't just changed, it was completely transformed, looking more and more like a villain.

However, facing the obvious change in Victor's demeanor, the bald man unexpectedly didn't show much fear on his face.

"So, Mr. Strucker, can you tell me why you suddenly became interested in the meteorite I brought from outer space?"

Seeing the man's reaction, Victor had a few thoughts in his mind, but he remained calm and asked.

"Actually, at first, I didn't pay too much attention to the news about the meteorite. However, with the recent reports about the Fantastic Four, according to them, they gained their incredible abilities from their exposure to radiation from a cosmic storm. Although the Fantastic Four themselves believe that this ability is a disease of some sort, I don't think so. I believe it is a great gift. In order to study this mutated condition, I also arranged for someone to contact the leader of the Fantastic Four, Reed Richards. But unfortunately, they rejected me."

"The Fantastic Four?"

Hearing Strucker utter the names of the Fantastic Four and Reed, a cold expression flashed in Victor's eyes, and a faint electric current flashed in his hand.

Although the fleeting electric current was hidden, Strucker still noticed it.

He showed a hint of surprise in his eyes but quickly covered it up and continued, "Afterwards, through various channels, I learned that you, Mr. Von Doom, were also in the space station at the time and obtained a meteorite that was exposed to radiation from the cosmic storm. If possible, I hope you can sell this meteorite to us to help me with my research on cosmic storms."

In the past, if someone was willing to buy the meteorite, Victor would certainly have been willing.

But times had changed. Now that he had gained extraordinary powers, especially after learning the reason why Strucker valued this meteorite, Victor's mind also began to grow ideas.

Therefore, he shook his head and decisively refused Strucker's proposal.

"Sorry, Mr. Strucker, I have my own ideas for this meteorite."

"Is that so? What a pity."
