Chapter 22
Max Dillon is an electrical engineer.
Growing up in a single-parent family made him sensitive, irritable, extremely introverted, and has low self-esteem.
He had a pretty good mind, otherwise he wouldn't have become an engineer and entered Osborne.
But his personality makes it difficult for him to integrate into the group. He is often excluded and isolated, and office violence is a common occurrence at home.
Obviously he participated in the design of another major Osborne project, the power grid, and could even be said to have completed the most important design and core architecture. However, in the end, all the credit went to someone else, and this person is now him. immediate boss.
Such a life made him feel depressed and miserable.
He felt that his talents were overflowing and his enthusiasm was suppressed by the world.
"I'm sorry, Mom."
He even had the idea of committing suicide to see his mother who died of illness.
At this time, Spider Woman appeared.
These superheroes and villains who came and went, Max once felt that they were extremely far away from him.
How could those dazzling beings from above lower their heads and care about the bugs on the ground?
Spider-Women will.
"Hey! Man, what's wrong with you?"
"Want to jump off the building? No, don't. No matter how bad it is, don't lose hope of living."
"Also, even if you jump down, I will use spider silk to rescue you."
"Yes, I won't give up on you."
…
Spider-Woman has a voice like nature, like an angel, encouraging him and giving him the courage to continue living.
It turns out that there are people who care about themselves and will not give up on themselves.
At that moment, he was captured by Spider-Woman and vowed to give everything for her.
But...that's all.
Life goes on, just as bad and painful.
He had no chance to see Spider-Woman again, and could only learn about her activities through news on TV and the media.
He searched for Spider-Woman like crazy every day, trying to understand every bit of her.
The house is even covered with her posters.
Only in this way can his soul get a moment of satisfaction and comfort.
Until that day, when the Lizardmen attacked Osborn Tower.
Max, who was blamed by his colleagues and had to work overtime to check the circuit, was affected by the damage caused by the lizard people and fell into the electric eel pool in the cross-species gene transfer project.
Suffocation, drowning, and the bites of countless electric eels, the electric shock attacked him, making him feel the ultimate physical pain for a moment.
In contrast, he seemed to hear Spider-Woman's voice at the last moment before falling.
It's an angel! goddess! She's here too!
Is she here to save me? She said she would never give up on me! She must be here to save me!
I can't die!
I want to live!
Max had lost consciousness. He once wanted to understand himself, but at this moment he burst out with infinite power to survive.
He was dead, but not quite dead.
His body transformed into another form, capable of sensing electricity, storing electricity, and controlling electricity!
But before he could escape, he was discovered by security personnel who were preparing to collect the body.
Caught off guard, he was imprisoned.
Osborne's people developed a set of facilities in time, cut off his power, and suppressed him at the bottom of the building.
Harry finished watching the video record of [Codename 713: Max Dylan].
He banged his fist on the table angrily,
"Damn, what else have these guys done!?"
Now it seems that none of these old guys are clean, and they are no better than their father.
But before he could do anything, two messages suddenly popped up:
[Warning, your access has been disabled. 】
[You do not have permission to access this project. 】
…
At the same time, the door to the office was also opened, and the new chairman Menken walked in aggressively with the security department.
"You can't go in, he's busy!" Aifesia tried to stop them, but she, a girl, obviously couldn't stop a group of big men in black.
"Look at what you've done, Mencken!" Harry asked.
"It's a good thing you did." Mencken said.
"What do you mean?"
"You and your criminal father have seriously affected the interests of the company. After careful consideration, we have decided to hold a shareholders' meeting tomorrow to discuss and vote on whether you are still eligible to exercise your rights."
"No, don't even think about it! This is Osborne!"
"Not your Osborn anymore, freak."
Menken and the security team came and went in a hurry and left quickly, leaving Harry standing alone.
"Mr. Osborne?" Aphisia said.
"I...I'm fine." Harry swayed, "I won't let them succeed...You go first, I have something to give you, I have a friend who needs help today..."
"yes……"
Harry was alone again in the office.
He broke the wine glass, put one hand on the table, and gritted his teeth and said, "They won't succeed..."
"Never will……"
"Alert! Alert! Security gone wrong, security gone wrong!"
Under the flashing red light and the rapid siren, Harry walked out of the prison facility with his head lowered and quickly left the bottom floor.
"Max? I hope you won't disappoint me..."
…
"Peter, it's time for us to go."
"Okay. By the way, where are we going today?"
Peter asked as he and Gwen walked out of the apartment together.
Gwen felt quite resentful about this.
She complained: "So, you really don't ask any questions at all and let me make the itinerary by myself?"
"Isn't that good?" Peter smiled and said, "It gives you more room to reward me."
Gwen was so angry that she wanted to bite Peter.
"Hmph! If not..."
"What if not?"?
"No, let's go." Gwen shook off Peter and walked forward first. Peter could only put his pockets in his pockets and follow behind, saying:
"Gwen, your outfit looks beautiful today."
Gwen paused for a moment and said in a casual tone: "Really? I just picked one at random."
"As expected of you, you look good no matter what you wear."
"snort……"
Peter walked up to her and asked, "So, where's our first stop?"
Gwen rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go see a movie first."
"okay."
It turns out that even Gwen, the honorary vigilante Spider-Woman, can't escape being like this when she's making date plans.
Shopping, eating, watching movies.
Although it’s old-fashioned, it works every time.
Then, they watched a 120-minute love movie with long hair.
After walking out, Peter exhaled and asked, "Where to go next?"
"I want to have afternoon tea." Gwen said with no abnormality on her face.
"good."
Then, they enjoyed afternoon tea for half an hour in a couple's restaurant.
At this time, even Gwen couldn't hold it any longer and took the lead in asking to leave.
She said: "Don't you have any ideas?"
"The movie was pretty good, and the snacks were delicious, but I was a little underfed."
"..."
Gwen was a little angry, but also a little discouraged: "Okay, then go shopping with me, and then we will go home."
"Huh? Isn't there still dinner?" Peter asked.
"there is none left!"
She was disappointed. She has made it clear like this, why can't Peter still see it?
Do you really want her to break the relationship and go straight to A?
No, that won't work.
Sometimes the better the relationship, the less easily she can break it. Because she was afraid that not only would the two of them not take any further steps, but they would not even be able to maintain their original relationship.
Maybe, the only way left is to confess.
Peter really prefers Spider-Woman to her.
Well...it's weird that both of them are her, but it doesn't matter!
Gwen remembered what her father told her again,
"Don't involve Peter..."
"So, what do I do?"
Gwen fell into confusion. At this time, she felt suddenly being pulled.
She looked back and saw Peter.
"What's wrong?" she asked listlessly.
Peter said: "I just made a reservation for dinner, and I have to ask you to accompany me tonight, Gwen."
Gwen: Σ(●—●)
"Eh!!!!!!"
