Chapter 80, Doctor Octopus kidnapping incident.
When Chen Linan went to the dessert table to feed venom, James also walked into the venue with Peter Parker and Robbie.
It was Peter Parker's first time to attend such a banquet, so he seemed a little nervous.
"Listen, Parker, the people coming to the party today are all famous people. You have to take good photos. I don't want the photos on the front page tomorrow to be a bunch of garbage." James picked up the champagne held by the waiter next to him. He warned Peter Parker.
"Perhaps you can change the style of taking pictures of Spider-Man. The style of today's party is different from that of the wall-crawler."
Peter was completely immune to the words James said about wall-crawler. After all, if he really If you care, then he will suffer from high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage in less than two days.
He raised the camera in his hand and said confidently: "No problem, sir, I am an all-rounder. I can take pictures of people and landscapes very well." Robbie next to him patted him on the shoulder
. Then he said to James: "Peter is the best photographer in our newspaper. James, you have to have confidence in him." James snorted and
turned his head when he heard this, and then walked inside and said: "I hope so, I will first Go say hello to them, and you can wander around as you like."
Looking at James's back, Robbie also smiled at Peter and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, and you can hang out and have something to eat or a drink."
" No problem." After Peter finished speaking, he started walking around the venue, and James would ask him to come over and take photos when needed.
"Speaking of eggplant~ Very good, the photo is ready." Peter put down the camera and nodded to James.
Originally, he was about to go have something to eat, but before he took two steps, James called him over to take pictures.
After taking the photo, he looked around and wanted to eat something.
While he was still looking for where the buffet was, a loud noise suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
I saw that a big hole was blown out of one side of the wall and window of the banquet hall.
At the damaged hole, several mechanical tentacles climbed up and brought a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses down to the hall.
Doctor Octopus stood on the ground, looking at the frightened people in the hall, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Good evening, you glamorous bastards."
While he was talking to him, Fenicia and Robbie, as well as a few people who were using the bathroom, came out of the passage next to them.
With such a loud noise, of course they had to come out to see what was going on.
Doctor Octopus also saw Felicia beside him, with an evil smile on his face and walked straight towards her.
"I really didn't expect you to come to the door yourself. It saves me the trouble of looking for her again."
One of his robotic arms directly grabbed Felicia who was trying to escape, and wrapped her around and lifted her in the air.
Robbie, who was not far from Felicia, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Doctor Octopus subdued him without ceremony, and also wrapped him up and lifted him up.
After catching these two people, Doctor Octopus also threw two bombs and laughed wildly: "I wish you good luck, idiots. Tell the families of these two unlucky people that the great Doctor Octopus will contact you." They, I hope they can prepare the ransom by then."
"Bang!" The two bombs made a violent noise, blowing up the things next to them, and some people who couldn't dodge were also blown away by the powerful air waves.
When the smoke cleared, Doctor Octopus, who was still standing here just now, had left with the two hostages.
From the time this strange guy stood on the floor of the living room to the time he left with the two hostages, the total time was less than a minute. Except for the surrounding guests, no one else realized what happened.
"What happened?" James rushed here and asked the person next to him.
Next to him stood a woman who also had blond hair and looked very capable and shrewd. This was Felicia's mother Annastasha, also known as Mrs. Hardy.
She had been chatting with guests just now, and then discussed future cooperation with an important partner. It was not until she heard a loud noise that she hurried over and met James halfway.
"A strange man just broke in here. He had four robotic arms and said he was Doctor Octopus. He took Felicia and Robbie away." A
guest nearby who saw the whole thing said to James and Mrs. Hardy explained.
Another middle-aged man next to him groped his chin and continued: "The man with the mechanical arm should be Dr. Otto. I have seen him before, but for some reason, he suddenly became like this." "He also
said He will contact you and ask you to prepare the ransom."
"Otto! That damn guy actually took my daughter!" Mrs. Hardy was also shocked when she heard the name Otto.
She had funded Dr. Otto's laboratory before, but she finally cut off the funding because she couldn't see any results. She didn't expect that this damn guy would retaliate against her and kidnap her daughter.
Anxiety, worry, regret, and anger were all intertwined in Mrs. Hardy's heart. For a moment, he felt dizzy and unsteady.
Fortunately, James next to her caught her in time and brought her to sit on the chair next to her.
James was also extremely angry at the moment. That damn smelly octopus actually captured his right-hand man and his friend.
Outside the crowd, Chen Lin'an had already heard what happened here. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen in less than a minute.
"When did another Doctor Octopus appear in New York? Why don't these people stop?" Chen Lin'an looked serious.
Now they can only wait for the weird man named Doctor Octopus to call as soon as possible, otherwise they will have no clues at all.
Chen Lin'an thought as he exited the crowd and walked towards the door. What he needed now was the identity of Venom.
Peter in the crowd did not expect such a change to happen, and he was also thinking carefully about how to deal with this matter.
As he thought about it, he gradually withdrew from the crowd, preparing to become Spider-Man to intervene in this matter.
"Leon? Why is he here too?" He just squeezed out of the crowd and saw Chen Lin'an walking out of the hall.
Peter scratched his head and turned around to the window sill without having time to think about it. If Chen Lin'an was outside the hall, he had to avoid being seen.
The attention of everyone present was focused on the middle, and no one noticed the two of them leaving quietly.
"Don't worry too much, Anastasha. Otto's main intention should be money. He will definitely not hurt Felicia and Robbie now. This is not good for both parties." James also sat on the chair and looked at Mrs. Hardy said next to her.
At this time, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, but Mrs. Hardy next to him was still very worried.
For Mrs. Hardy, the most important thing is Felicia's safety, and the ransom paid is not an important thing.
Mrs. Hardy was about to respond after hearing James' words, but at this moment the phone on the table suddenly rang.
Seeing the phone ringing, everyone's eyes were focused there. Mrs. Hardy also clasped her hands and prayed secretly in her heart.
After James' phone rang, he was ready to answer the phone and start negotiating. A friend standing next to him pressed his shoulder and said, "Jonah, if it is really him who called, please do whatever it takes." Calm down."
Everyone knew that James had a hot temper, and they were afraid that he would say something in a fit of anger that would irritate the kidnappers.
"Of course, I have always been calm and collected." James said confidently.
The friend wanted to say something after hearing this, but James had already answered the phone, and he said in a serious and calm tone: "Hello, I am J. Jonah James." There was also a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone at the moment
. The voice came: "Hello, I am Dr. Otto. Of course, you can also call me by my current name, Doctor Octopus." "I want you to
prepare 10 million US dollars in cash to complete the transaction between us. In addition, I want you to report something about me on the news."
"I want everyone to know the evil deeds they did to me!" Dr. Otto's tone became more and more intense, seeming to be seductive again. Reminds me of my bad memories.
James paused after hearing this, and then continued in a deep voice: "We agree to your conditions. Likewise, you must ensure the safety of Miss Hardy and Robbie. I need to have a phone call with them both." Dr.
Otto Hearing this, he sneered and said: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with the great Doctor Octopus."
James became a little angry when he heard Dr. Otto's words. He raised his voice and shouted into the phone in a deep voice: "If they If something happens to the two of you, I will definitely not let you go!"
"What will you do? You are not qualified to do anything?!" Dr. Otto mocked James' words.
James stood up from the stool after hearing this, and then yelled: "You'd better not think like that! You stupid octopus!" The face
of the person next to him had fallen, and Mrs. Hardy's heart was getting colder and colder. She felt like she was out of breath.
"You monster! A short-lived blackmailer! You will definitely be locked up in a prison that will never see the light of day for the rest of your life to repent!" James didn't realize his problem. He was still typing frantically to Dr. Otto on the other side of the microphone. , venting anger.
Doctor Octopus on the other side of the phone was also livid. He gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone: "Very good! How dare you talk to a great scientist in such a tone!" "Scientist? What kind of scientist are you! You only know how to
kidnap Blackmail coward!" Before Dr. Otto could finish his words, James had already started taunting him again.
