Wayne Company, at the main entrance.
Anton led John inside the company to meet with the Old Man, informing him of the current situation.
The Old Man's expression was unreadable, showing no sign of panic.
Some people grow more afraid of danger the longer they live; others become numb to it.
The Old Man belonged to the latter.
He had offended many people in his life, yet he had lived comfortably until now. Very few things could make him feel fear.
After understanding the situation, he asked Anton, "So, it's best for John and me to stay in Washington D.C. for a while, under the protection of the military, and wait for this incident to end?"
"Yes."
Anton's words carried a hint of killing intent, and he said solemnly, "I'll take care of this as quickly as possible. I won't keep you waiting long."
"Alright, I'll communicate with Secretary Keller and try to get you some more time."
Old Man nodded.
"Regarding Secretary Keller, I'll send him an email in Batman's name. That should allow you to stay until the incident is over."
Anton said, looking around. "Right, where's Phil?"
"He's in the weapons display room."
Wayne Company, inside, weapons display room.
Phil was currently selecting high-tech weapons, the latest creations of Wayne Company.
As an official member of the Justice League, he was privy to a lot of inside information.
For instance, the advanced technology used by Wayne Company actually came entirely from another starry sky, specifically the planet Cybertron, home of the Transformers.
As mechanical lifeforms, the Transformers' weapons technology was, needless to say, several levels beyond Earth's technological capabilities.
Even the items Phil was looking at now were mostly technology discarded by the Transformers.
After all, to suddenly produce technology that surpassed Earth's by hundreds of years... that wouldn't be technology anymore; it would be magic.
The right fit was the best fit.
Phil chose a Lightsaber and clipped it to his armor, then picked out a special energy gun.
This special energy firearm could fire hundreds of energy bullets from a single energy magazine, so he almost didn't have to worry about running out of ammo in combat.
With this, plus the existing Ghoul Suit and the Freeze Gun Donatello had specially made for him, Phil's technological equipment had reached an extremely high level, not at all inferior to Harry Osborn of Oscorp.
Of course, Harry's advantage lay in his bio-armor made from a Symbiote.
The bio-armor was highly extensible and could change with the wearer's thoughts, far more powerful than the Ghoul Suit modified from the Green Goblin armor.
Zzzzzzzzz!
Just as he finished choosing his equipment, Phil suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ear. Turning his head, he saw a bright flash of electricity erupting from a power outlet.
"Leaking electricity?"
Phil was startled, staring at the flash of electricity, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Boom!!
The next moment, all the plugged-in outlets exploded with electricity, and the terrifying current, like a real river, gathered in mid-air to form a human shape.
"This..."
Phil was stunned, staring at the figure formed by the gathering of electricity in mid-air. He instantly recognized the person.
Electro!
As an employee of the Daily Bugle, and Eddie's little apprentice, he wouldn't miss anything Eddie knew.
"Electro, Max Dillon, it's you!"
Phil's expression turned serious. He quickly ran to the side, picked up the case he carried with him, and confirmed his equipment.
Click, click, click!
The case opened, and the skateboard inside floated in front of him.
At the same time, the case attached itself to his body, extending all the way to become his Ghoul Suit.
"So, it's you..."
Electro, although imprisoned, had clearly seen the news and recognized Phil after his transformation.
"Superhero, Ghoul!"
Electro's gaze was icy as he locked onto Phil, the electricity suspending him in mid-air. But his blue skin made him look rather bizarre.
"You superheroes are all the same!"
The anger that had built up in Electro's heart made him even more misanthropic.
Whoosh! He waved his hand, firing a lightning-like electric shockwave.
Boom! Phil dodged the attack. The wall behind him was hit by the shockwave, shattering and instantly cracking, with spiderweb-like lines spreading to the corners.
If the outer walls of the weapons display room hadn't been specially hardened, this single electric shockwave would have been enough to blast a huge hole.
But then, Electro kept waving his hands, and one electric shockwave after another exploded, causing the entire room to shake violently, and even the whole building trembled slightly. "Damn it."
Phil dodged continuously, firing back at the same time.
Electro darted into the room's wiring, and Phil instantly lost his target.
"Shit!"
Phil's expression changed drastically, remembering Anton's purpose for sending him to Wayne Company.
The whole family was in the company; he couldn't let the bad guy catch them all!
He waited a few seconds with a serious expression, but he didn't see Electro. Phil realized that Electro had already gone outside the room, and his face became even uglier.
He quickly pulled out his communicator.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The entire building that Wayne Company was located in began to tremble slightly.
Those still inside the building at this hour, who hadn't yet gone home, felt as if an earthquake had struck, and they all wore expressions of alarm.
Beep, beep, beep!
Old Man suddenly received a call.
"Voltage malfunction in the weapons and equipment room..."
He frowned and said to Anton, "Phil is still in there."
Ring, ring, ring!
Anton's phone rang immediately.
It was Phil.
"Boss, it's Electro! He attacked me, and he's in this building!"
After the call connected, Phil reported the situation, his breathing rapid.
"Got it, be careful. Come over here immediately and join us."
Anton hung up the phone, looked around the office, and walked directly to the fire alarm, smashing it with a punch.
Bang!!
The glass cover on the alarm shattered.
Beep beep beep!
The sharp alarm instantly echoed throughout the entire building, completely igniting the panic of those still inside.
Zzzt!
Water started spraying from the ceiling, and the entire building quickly filled with mist.
Although this mist couldn't subdue Electro, it could at least restrict him.
Bang!
The Old Man's bodyguard, the New York assassin king, John Wick, burst into the office.
"What's wrong?"
He sensed something was off, his brow furrowed. He held Wayne Company's latest weapon, an energy gun, looking wary.
"Stay here and protect those two. Phil will be here soon. I'll handle the rest."
Anton finished his instructions and strode out of the office.
"Anton!"
Before the Old Man could say anything, Anton's cheapskate old man, John, couldn't help but speak.
He looked at Anton's back with concern. Seeing Anton turn around, he had a thousand things to say, but only managed to squeeze out one sentence.
"Be careful!"
"I know."
Anton chuckled softly, then said, "John, remember this: the ones who should be afraid are never us."
With that, he walked out of the office.
He went down the elevator to the Wayne Company's main entrance, then crossed the street. He turned back to look at the brightly lit building, now in chaos, his expression calm.
Beside him.
Countless people ran out of the building in terror, brushing past him.
"Max Dillon, I assume you can hear me. If you're watching, then come on, I'm waiting for you at the gate."
Anton spoke calmly.
At this moment, he stood in place, unmoving.
But the people who passed by him could feel a chilling aura, as if the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly, and they shivered instinctively.
