Chapter 179: An Unreasonable Request
The employees of Doom Industries walked towards the building with their families.
Although the reform measures that Doom made after returning to the company made many employees miserable, Doom has always been generous and never demanded overtime wages for employees.
Especially on the day of the annual meeting, each employee's family will receive a small gift and an annual meeting lottery ticket, and the minimum prize amount of the lottery ticket is more than 500 US dollars.
Moreover, this annual meeting does not limit the number of family members that employees can bring.
In other words, as long as the employees are thick-skinned enough, it is no problem to bring all three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to participate in this annual meeting.
As all employees and their families have entered the venue, a car slowly drove from the dark to the gate of Doom Industries.
Reed on the roof naturally knew that this must be Doom's car.
Do you want to take action?
Reed's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, but after seeing Doom open the car door and walk towards the gate of the building, he still made up his mind.
"Sorry, Doom!"
Muttering to himself, Reed jumped down from the roof and appeared behind Doom in an instant.
At this time, Doom opened his hands and walked towards the gate of the building.
On both sides of the gate, there were already employees who came to greet Doom.
In the shocked eyes of the employees, Reed fell behind Doom, and a brick he had picked up earlier was smashed on Doom's head in full view of everyone.
Bang!
The brick hit Doom's head and made a muffled sound.
Doom turned his head in astonishment and looked at Reed, whose eyes were full of guilt.
"You" Doom opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but with the blood flowing from his head, he finally rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Chairman!!!"
The employees in the building exclaimed and rushed to the direction where Doom fell.
This force should have succeeded.
Reed glanced at Doom, who was surrounded by the crowd, and threw away the brick in his hand. He stretched out his hands and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bang!
In SHIELD, Tony angrily pushed down the computer in front of him.
"What on earth does this guy want to do!" Tony angrily asked Johnny and Ben who rushed to SHIELD.
"If I had known that this guy would go crazy, why did the SHIELD agents and I bother to help him solve those public opinions last night!"
Tony had just returned from a vacation in Canada. He was in a rare good mood and wanted to help Reed solve his current predicament.
As a result, Reed seemed to be crazy. First, he robbed the Manhattan Bank headquarters of tens of millions of dollars, and then beat his own creditor to lie unconscious in the hospital.
Yesterday, Reed was just a superhero with low morals in the eyes of New York citizens.
But after these two incidents today, Reed can no longer be considered a superhero. To be precise, this guy has become a complete criminal!
"Mr. Stark." A SHIELD agent in charge of information security technology hurried to Tony's side and said to him.
"Based on the tracing of Mr. Richards' mobile phone information, we have found out why he behaved so abnormally today."
The agent projected the traced information on the big screen in the conference room.
What was displayed on it was exactly the content of the threat that "Doctor Doom" made to Reed last night.
"!" Johnny looked at Susan's photo on the big screen and stood up from his seat in excitement.
"My sister Susan is not dead?!"
"No wonder Reed is so abnormal." Ben looked at the information on the screen and couldn't help sighing.
"Stupid!" Tony gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
"Doesn't he usually call himself a genius? Why does his brain go into a mess when he encounters something like this?"
"Hasn't he thought of contacting us?"
Tony slapped the table angrily.
"Or is it that in his genius mind, we are not as credible as a guy who threatens him?"
"I have to thank him!" Tony gritted his teeth and said, "Now my good mood after returning from vacation has been completely ruined by this guy!"
"Robbery Manhattan Bank Head Office, killing Victor von Doom."
Ben looked at the third thing that Doctor Doom asked Reed to do in the information.
"Kidnap all the students of Midtown High School, and get away unscathed after asking for ransom"
"What?" Tony, who was still angry, looked at the screen.
"Let that guy kidnap the students of Midtown High School?" Tony seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He turned his head with a strange look on his face and asked the SHIELD agent in charge of information security technology.
"What day is it today?"
"Uh." The SHIELD agent was stunned for a moment, looked down at the time displayed on the computer, and responded to Tony.
"Today is Thursday."
"So that Doctor Doom asked Reed to kidnap the students of Midtown High School today? And he wanted him to get away with it after asking for a ransom?"
Tony's expression became a little weird.
Johnny, who was originally in the corner rejoicing that Susan was not dead, seemed to remember something when he heard Tony's words.
"Is this..." Johnny murmured in a low voice, hesitating to speak.
"Is it too much to force others to do something difficult?"
Thursday, a workday that should have been very ordinary.
Those who should go to work still go to work, and those who should go to school still go to school.
For most people in New York, this is an extremely ordinary working day.
But for the students of Zhongcheng Middle School, this is an extraordinary war!
From the moment the bell rang, most of the students were like hungry wolves rushing towards the school gate, hoping to win the first place in today's Crazy Thursday.
"It's broken, it's broken!"
Gwen trotted anxiously on the way to the dessert shop.
Today, because of her graduation project, Gwen was kept in class by the substitute teacher for a while.
As a result, Gwen, who was supposed to show up at the dessert shop an hour ago, had to wait until get out of class ended with all the students.
In full view of the public, it was naturally impossible for Miss Stacey to reveal her identity as Spider-Woman, which resulted in Gwen having no choice but to pretend to be an ordinary person and trot away in the direction of the dessert shop.
But heading to the already congested road section made it impossible for Gwen to continue moving forward.
This is a section of road outside the gate of Zhongcheng Middle School that is bound to be congested every week.
Only through this section of the road can Gwen reach the dessert shop smoothly.
Gwen took out her phone and looked at the time. There were still five minutes until the dessert shop officially started selling desserts.
"Please give way! Please give way!" Gwen desperately wanted to squeeze into the crowd, but she was worried that she would use too much force and hurt the surrounding students.
"Why are you so crowded? Don't you know how to line up?" Some students with bad tempers in front felt the push from Gwen behind them and cursed angrily at Gwen.
"We are all students from Zhongcheng Middle School. Can we have some quality and morality?"
Gwen listened to the angry curses coming from the students in front, and clenched her fists in anger.
"Hey, everyone, please give way!" At this moment, Su Heng's helpless voice came from the front.
"If you block our employees outside like this, who will pack the desserts for you?"
As Su Heng squeezed a path through the crowd, he stopped in front of Gwen.
"Let's go." Su Heng stretched out his hand towards Gwen.
"Yes." Gwen nodded, held Su Heng's hand, and followed him towards the direction of the dessert shop.
"Ahem." The student who had previously been saying that Gwen had no qualities or morals coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Although your words are unpleasant, they are not unreasonable." Gwen made a face at the student.
"However, please let me go first next time."
"Ah, okay!" The student looked at Gwen's lively and quirky appearance, and was a little stunned, as if there was some kind of tremor in his heart.
But when he moved his eyes downward and saw the hands held by Gwen and Su Heng, his originally trembling heart seemed to be broken at this moment.
"."
The surrounding students looked at this student's expression as if he was riding a roller coaster, and hid away in disgust.
"Huh——" Su Heng and Gwen finally squeezed into the dessert shop from the crowd, and they each let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally come in." Su Heng wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the eager eyes outside the dessert shop, and ordered Gwen.
"Let's stick to the old rules, I'll do the cashiering and you'll serve the food."
"Okay!" Gwen stretched, took the dessert shop apron handed over by Su Heng, and put it on herself.
Su Heng stood at the cashier and nodded towards Gwen who had put on her apron and was ready to open the door.
But just when Gwen was about to open the door of the dessert shop, from behind many students, two objects that were like ropes and intersecting were wrapped around their respective waists.
"Huh?" Amidst the surprised sounds of many students, the door of the dessert shop had just opened. They were about to rush towards the dessert shop, but the sudden restraints around their waists completely stopped their progress.
"What's this."
Before some students could finish their words, they felt a force of contraction coming from their waists.
Under the shock of everyone and Gwen's astonishment, these students flew back to Zhongcheng Middle School at extremely fast speeds.
"Store manager." Gwen stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes, and pointed out the door towards Su Heng who was counting money at the cashier.
"Huh?" Su Heng raised his head in confusion, looking at the suddenly deserted street, he was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
"Did his fingers snap?" Su Heng muttered in a low voice.
"What snap?" Gwen looked at Su Heng strangely and said to him: "Just now I seemed to see a strange thing wrapped around the waists of those students, and then they were taken back to school by that thing within.”
Gwen couldn't help but lick her lips when she thought of this.
"So, is it finally time for Spider-Woman to make her grand entrance?"
"Then I advise you to hurry up." Su Heng looked at the message from Tony on the phone and said casually towards Gwen.
"Don't forget, besides you, Spider-Woman, there is also a Spider-Man in Midtown High School."
"Ah, it's true." Gwen looked at the empty street and quickly took off her apron and coat, revealing the spider suit lining.
"I hope Peter can leave me a capable fighter." Gwen trotted out of the dessert shop, spider silk sprayed from her wrist, and soon disappeared in front of Su Heng.
"Hmm, I hope so." Su Heng shrugged, looked at the dazzling array of desserts in the store helplessly, and sighed softly.
"It's so hard to organize a promotion, but I can't let Reed ruin it like this."
Su Heng walked out of the dessert shop slowly, closed the door, and disappeared on the street.
In the playground of Zhongcheng Middle School, Reed retracted his arms that were entangled and hovering around the waists of these students.
"Strange, why do these students go out of the school as soon as class is over?"
Although Reed knew that Su Heng was the owner of the dessert shop, he also knew that Johnny was once blocked by Su Heng because he asked for a beating in the dessert shop.
But he didn't know that Su Heng's dessert shop was actually opened outside the gate of Midtown Middle School, and he didn't know that he had disturbed Su Heng's crazy Thursday promotion plan.
Reed came back to his senses, looked at the anxious students and teachers in front of him, and said to them.
"I'm sorry, everyone, you have been kidnapped by me."
"Please ask the teachers on the playground to call the police and tell the police that you have been kidnapped." Reed turned on the loudspeaker on the playground.
"By the way, tell the police that if you want everyone to be safe, please prepare the same amount of US dollars that I robbed at the Manhattan Bank Headquarters this morning."
"In addition, please stay where you are and don't move."
Reed's right arm stretched out quickly and stopped several students who wanted to escape from the playground.
"Here, let me introduce myself."
"I'm Reed, I used to be a scientist and a superhero."
"And now, I'm a criminal with a lot of bad deeds!"
"So if you want to ensure your own safety, please don't move."
"Also." Reed grabbed a student closest to him.
Reed looked at the trembling student and smiled.
"Classmate, do you know where your chemistry lab is?"
"This, this?" The student nodded a little scared.
"Then can you bring a few classmates to help me move all the materials in your chemistry lab?"
Reed's arm extended to the student's waist.
"If you can, then I'll leave it to you"
