Chapter 142, the tragic venom and uproar.
In the end, James bought all the information for 10 million US dollars.
Originally, Chen Lin'an's asking price was fifteen million, which made James' eyes widen on the spot, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.
Chen Linan also expected James' reaction, so he also said the words he had prepared long ago.
Only you have exclusive information about such a major event. Sales will increase by an unknown amount, and the stock price of the Daily Bugle will probably skyrocket.
Such revelations can not only bring profit at this stage, but the most important thing is to establish the image of the Daily Bugle and James himself as a fighter who is not afraid of power and fights bravely. In the future, the public will definitely believe in and fight more than other media. Love the Daily Bugle.
In the end, Chen Lin'an put aside these things and talked about James' daily use of Spider-Man and Venom to gain popularity and sell newspapers. He stated that he was not threatening James, but just wanted to take away some advertising fees and portrait rights usage fees. Very reasonable.
Under the persuasion of Chen Lin'an's painting and Xiao Zhi's rational and emotional persuasion, James finally cut the bargain price and bought the exclusive news for US$10 million.
Chen Linan is also very satisfied with the price. After all, the quotation is just a quotation, which still leaves a lot of room for bargaining. Ten million is very good.
On the way home, Chen Lin'an also thought in his heart that he had spent a lot of money to get Peter out of poverty and become rich. With these ten million, the famous poor Spider-Man should be able to get rid of this title.
"Speaking of whether Peter is in love, it seems that he is with a model named Mary Jane." Chen Lin'an thought of the scene where he saw Peter dating some time ago and chatted with Venom.
Venom curled its lips when it heard this, as if it was still angry with Peter about the parasite. It snorted coldly and broke the news to Chen Lin'an: "Such a thing happened before, but the situation recently is not good."
"I heard him talking to the other party on the phone that day. It seemed that he was always late for meetings or dates or because he was letting others down. The girl was very angry and said that she wanted to seriously consider their relationship." Thinking of Peter calling at that
time The desperate look on the phone made Venom feel relieved. This could make him laugh at the poor guy for the rest of his life.
Chen Lin'an was also a little surprised when he heard Venom's words. He has been busy recently, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
And how did Venom hear the two of them talking on the phone? He didn't expect that this kid had a hobby of eavesdropping on gossip. He must have followed Peter secretly and heard it when he was concentrating on doing experiments.
Damn it, I didn’t even ask him to come with me, I had to give him a piece of chocolate.
Early the next morning, at Chen Lin'an's house, there was another person at the dining table where only Chen Lin'an and Venom were eating.
I saw Felicia wearing Chen Lin'an's T-shirt, looking a little sleepy and lazily squatting on the chair, like a cat.
The large T-shirt could only barely cover Felicia's thighs, leaving her fair and slender legs exposed.
She hugged her legs and rested her head on her knees, her long golden hair hanging down casually, and looked at Chen Lin'an in the kitchen with her big eyes blinking.
Afterwards, Felicia told Chen Linan why her hair color could be changed. It turned out to be because Herbert Langdon had made improvements when restoring the serum, allowing her to switch between her original appearance and transform into a black cat at will. The ability to look like this.
Although her face has not changed, her hair color, voice and temperament are obviously different. Coupled with an eye patch that partially covers her face, she looks like two different people.
Felicia's delicate lips curled into a smile as she watched Chen Lin'an, who had always been a superb cook, unexpectedly fry two eggs in succession.
Chen Lin'an was also a little embarrassed at this time. He shoveled out the overcooked eggs and put them aside, brushed the pot and poured oil again.
Felicia's appearance always made him involuntarily distracted. Now he didn't dare to look up, because he knew that Felicia must be looking at him, and he heard a hint of laughter just now.
Seeing Chen Lin'an ruining two eggs one after another, Venom next to him immediately bared his teeth and complained: "How about we stop eating eggs today? If you keep frying like this, there won't be enough eggs." "Stop talking, this is fine
. Yes, it was an accident just now." Chen Lin'an watched Huo Hou turn the eggs over and stopped Venom from disturbing him.
Hearing this, Venom also made a sound, and deliberately said with a hint of evil smile: "Forget it, the heat of the fried eggs today is the same as the hormones you secrete, it can only be high or low, there is nothing a five-star chef can do about it. ."
"Hey, hey, it's rare to see you so rude, why? Is it the beautiful Miss Hardy that makes you a little bit distracted? Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is human beings, not like our noble ones!!!" Venom has not finished speaking yet
. After he finished speaking, he was forcibly interrupted, and Chen Linan directly stuffed the fried egg in the pot and the failed product that had been placed aside into Venom's mouth.
"Why do you talk so much! I can't even close your mouth!" Chen Lin'an grabbed Venom's neck with one hand so that he couldn't dodge, and forced the egg into Venom's mouth with one hand.
Felicia at the table had already narrowed her eyes with laughter. In order to maintain a good image and not laugh too loudly, she also covered her mouth with her hands, but her shoulders were still shaking uncontrollably.
After another twenty minutes of hard preparation, the three of them finally sat down at the dining table.
Both Chen Lin'an and Felicia had a standard American breakfast in front of them, while Venom had a pile of fried eggs in front of them.
Venom looked at his plate and then at theirs, and suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning.
But under the threat of Chen Lin'an's calm chocolate deprivation technique, it still opened its mouth and bit the egg slowly and reluctantly. This may be the slowest it has ever eaten.
Looking at the miserable Venom, Felicia squinted her eyes and took away two failed eggs from its plate with a smile, then spread her hands and put a few pieces of chocolate in her hand on Venom's plate. On the plate.
Venom's eyes widened when he saw the chocolate. He picked one up, tore open the package and put it into his mouth to taste it contentedly. Then he rubbed Felicia's head with his ferocious head and expressed his gratitude.
The situation at this moment felt strange even to Chen Lin'an, who was used to seeing Venom. It would be normal if Venom's head was replaced by a cute little animal, but it's a pity that it can't be replaced.
Felicia actually thought Venom was cute like this, which made Chen Linan refresh his understanding of her again.
While they were having breakfast, James appeared on the TV as always.
I saw him sitting in front of the microphone, solemnly and indignantly disclosing the criminal evidence about Wilson Fisk. It is estimated that at this time, New Yorkers knew that the famous entrepreneur and philanthropist who had always appeared in the news turned out to be a criminal. Criminals.
"Like the majority of citizens and friends, I was extremely shocked when I learned about this incident. For this reason, I repeatedly verified the authenticity of these situations, and finally accepted this fact with indignation and sadness." "It's hard to believe
. I can't imagine that such vicious criminals have been living in front of us for so many years with such a glamorous appearance. I can't help but want to ask our government, our police, and our media, how well have they done their jobs and paid taxes? Where is people’s money used?”
James now let go of his hands and became popular. Due to the poor information, many organizations and managers were confused before being sprayed by him, and they were very slow to deal with the matter.
This situation made some people who were originally skeptical realize that this might really be the case. For a while, there was a lot of noise. Chen Lin'an's mobile phone on the table was constantly popping up the major media's reactions to James' live broadcast.
