Chapter 54: Give him a hand! Undercurrents surging!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"The company's circuit plan was my idea; why should the credit be stolen by those guys at the top!"

Maxwell "Max" Dillon was an electrical engineer at Oscorp.

He was drinking to drown his sorrows on the roof of a building, empty beer cans thrown all over the floor, and he was getting closer and closer to the edge.

Max had believed since he was a child that he had talent in electricity and wanted to become an electrical engineer.

But his single mother thought he wasn't smart enough and couldn't succeed, so she sent him to a factory to be a wireman.

After working hard for half his life, Max finally managed to get an electrical engineer position at Oscorp.

But because of the irritable temper he developed in a single-parent family, his colleagues didn't like him, and he was just a transparent person in the company.

And during a major circuit overhaul in the company, he seized the opportunity and provided an excellent plan for the company.

He thought he would be appreciated, but all the credit was stolen by his superiors!

The lack of recognition from those around him and his failure at work.

Made him climb onto this roof.

While drinking to drown his sorrows.

While aimlessly flipping through the news.

【Oscorp shareholders are in dispute, and now it's a mess; many unprofitable or low-profit research projects have been stopped; the future is unknown...】

"Heh, it's good that it's a mess."

【"Green Goblin" Norman Osborn's latest news; his body has not been found yet, and experts suspect he faked his death to escape punishment...】

"Norman? Heh, good riddance; open the champagne!"

【Tony Stark announced the closure of the Stark Industries weapons department, causing an uproar; shareholders are selling off their Stark Industries stocks...】

"Bastard, he caused me to lose a large sum of money! Damn capitalists! They should all die!"

【Ghost-Spider recently destroyed many gang strongholds and provided many clues to the New York Police Department; the person behind the gangs is called "Tombstone"... Fans evaluate her as the most approachable superhero, but Female Knight fans seem to have different opinions...】

"Superhero? Can they save my damn life!"

Max, who became more and more angry as he read, turned off the screen and didn't look at the next news item 【Black Spider suspected to have appeared in Afghanistan】.

Feeling that life was hopeless, under the influence of alcohol, he walked to the edge of the building and wanted to jump down.

He didn't notice that not far from him, two people huddled together had swung over.

"Cindy, your home is so far away; it must be troublesome to go to school."

Ye Li had bad intentions, "Why not move to my manor? Water and electricity are free, rent is free, and I can hire a driver to pick you up."

"I'm afraid you'll eat me."

Cindy twisted her body, "Teacher, can you put your hand in a better place? Don't touch randomly in strange places. Be careful I slip, and we both fall."

"I'm just curious about the material of your spiderweb; besides, you don't seem to mind."

"It's all because of that strange attraction!"

Cindy: "Clearly, Teacher had such demeanor in class; if Felicia knew you were so erotic, she would definitely be disappointed!"

"I think she would be quite excited."

Ye Li was about to tease her a few more words when he heard the system issue a message: 【Detected Gwen Stacy's destiny enemy, "Electro", Maxwell "Max" Dillon】

Huh?

Ye Li sensed it and also discovered Max on the roof of the building, and it was the Negro version.

Seeing him preparing to jump off the building at the edge.

Ye Li pondered for a moment and decided... to help him.

Anyway, Max wanted to die, so it was better to brush up on some rewards; he just didn't know if "giving a helping hand" counted as a defeat.

Although the other party seemed to be an ordinary person now, so what? Wait for the enemy to become stronger and pose a threat to his women?

Being judged by the system as 【Destiny Enemy】 meant that as long as Max didn't change, he would face Gwen in the future.

Of course.

Ye Li also had integrity, so he would just make a small move.

If he could survive, he would let him go this time.

Anyway, even if Max became Electro later, he had ways to deal with him; it was just not as effortless as acting now.

So.

Just as Max was preparing to jump and end his life, he felt a strong wind pushing him from behind, as if helped by God.

My God, does even God want me to die!?

Is my life really that much of a failure!?

With this thought, he fell from the roof.

It was just that what exceeded Ye Li's expectations was—at the same time, Cindy happened to swing over from this direction!

"What is that! We're going to collide!"

Cindy subconsciously shot out a large spiderweb, covering Max and sticking him to the glass window of a building.

"Scared me to death; if you want to die, can't you die further away?"

Cindy patted her chest in fear.

Her spider-sense and speed were stronger than Gwen's, but her strength and physique were a notch inferior.

If she had been hit by this, it would definitely not be comfortable, not to mention she had Ye Li in her arms.

"Uh..."

Ye Li saw Cindy's shocking words, as if showing another side, and asked her strangely, "Aren't you a superhero? Why tell people to die further away?"

"Who told you I'm a superhero?"

Cindy reminded him, "Let me tell you, don't learn from Ghost-Spider to be a superhero just because you have some abilities. We are actually unable to protect ourselves; I'll tell you in detail when we arrive!"

Ye Li didn't care; wasn't it just the Morlun family? He naturally knew, but didn't care. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
