In the top-floor office.
"Boss, you're not going to send me to assassinate government officials of major countries again, right? I'm currently an official media reporter for the Supernatural Incident Bureau. If I keep doing those dirty deeds in secret, I'll be in trouble if someone recognizes me with high-tech gadgets."
Eddie looked cautiously at Raina, who was sitting in the office chair, shrinking his neck and hesitantly saying with a troubled expression.
"You've watched too many movies. Do you think we have so many enemy targets for you to kill? Besides, after merging with the Symbiote, who can recognize your original appearance?" Raina glanced at him indifferently, calmly saying, "The mission assigned to you this time is to be carried out within the New York City area, without going to other cities or countries. Moreover, the nature of the mission is very simple and relaxing, which is a blessing for any Cardinal."
"A simple and relaxing mission for me?" Eddie was pleasantly surprised, but there was still no joy on his face. Under the reminder from Venom within him, he hesitated and pointed at his own nose, asking in confusion, "Boss, is there really such a good mission for me?"
As the lowest-ranked Temporary Worker 001 in the Supernatural Incident Bureau, Eddie had been handling all the dirty work for the past six months, from assassinating government officials to bullying thugs—
Today, he unexpectedly heard that there was a welfare mission for him. Who would believe that?!
"Yes, you are the only suitable candidate for this mission." Raina smiled faintly, comforting Caesar, who was lying lazily on her lap, sucking on a new lollipop.
Caesar lay there, almost falling asleep with his eyes half-closed, displaying the sleepy characteristics of a baby, unavoidable even with a physique like Superman's. The slight movement just now made him gradually feel drowsy, unable to summon strength or spirit.
"Can you tell me the specific content of the mission?" Eddie took a deep breath, preparing for the worst, and asked.
"Your mission is— to take care of him," Raina said, her hands falling under Caesar's arm, lifting him up like a pet cat, swinging his bare little feet gently like a swing.
"Huh?" Eddie's brain crashed for a moment and he was unable to react for a while.
Raina's face was cold and stern, showing no signs of joking. She continued, "From now on, you will serve as his bodyguard and nanny, protecting his safety 24 hours a day! If anyone dares to touch a hair on his head, you can choose to directly saw off their arms or heads, and all consequences will be borne by our Supernatural Incident Bureau."
"Take care of a baby?" Eddie looked a little confusedly at Caesar, who was hanging lazily on Raina's palm, and Caesar, with his eyes almost closed, seemed to be looking at him too.
Indeed, it was the most straightforward content imaginable, but simplicity didn't equate to easiness, and this was definitely one of the most bizarre missions in history.
"Wait a minute, this child's age... Boss, he couldn't be..." Eddie seemed to remember something, his pitch-black eyes widening with shock, and the pupils reflected the slightly yawning figure of little Caesar.
"Your reaction is too slow." Raina's lips curled up slightly, gently cradling Caesar in her hands, she said in a gentle and firm tone, "He is Caesar Carl, the son of the Symbol of Peace, the future heir of the Carl Family, the Supernatural Incident Bureau, and Stark Industries!"
As Eddie left the top-floor office and waited for the elevator to descend, he was still in a state of mental confusion, looking down at his left hand, which was still bent.
On his left arm, Caesar, who was using his coat as a blanket, had already closed his eyes tightly and was snoring peacefully, showing no signs of rejecting or fearing strangers.
"I've become the guardian of the Master? No... I should say, that the demon dad is more appropriate. I'm still a virgin! This is just..."
Eddie sighed, and as he did, the sleeping Caesar shifted his position slightly, kicking his soft belly with one foot.
It was clearly just an unconscious kick from a baby, but the force was so great that Eddie's stomach churned, and all the words of complaint were choked back.
"It's no wonder he's Mr. Kyle's child." Eddie was speechless with tears, knowing he had to be careful in his care, protect his safety, and couldn't scold or hit him, not even a word of complaint—
The elevator doors opened, and Eddie could only step into the elevator and press the button to descend to the ground floor.
"What should I do, buddy, think of a solution quickly!"
Descending in the elevator, Eddie sought help from Venom, who cohabited within his body. He felt like he was holding not a baby but a C4 explosive package that could detonate at any moment.
"This little tyke is the descendant of that one, what can I do? Let's follow the instructions of the big scary sister for now. A family Master with such a noble status surely can't be left in the care of a single guy like you for long."
Venom promptly admitted defeat, then, with a puzzled solemnity, continued, "I don't know if it's my imagination. Anyway, from the Master's body, I faintly sensed an unfathomable energy."
"What do you mean?" Eddie asked in a low voice, his gaze quietly falling on Caesar's sleeping face, which looked harmless and adorable in its slumber.
"We Symbiotes can detect the energy value of other life forms. It's a composite value that includes life force, body magnetic field, static electricity, bloodline genes, and so on."
Afraid Eddie wouldn't understand, Venom continued with an analogy, "Miss Raina just now, her energy value can be described as the moon, making her feel awe-inspiring and almost impossible to catch up with. Mr. Kyle, his energy value is like the sun, towering and scorching, even getting close a little is wishful thinking."
"What about me?" Eddie asked curiously.
"You?" Venom paused for a moment, then bluntly said, "If it weren't for my symbiotic assistance, your energy value would be dim stars in the sky, and it's already quite good to compare it to a stone on the ground."
"Can't you be a little more gentle with your words?" Eddie touched his nose with his free right hand, looking at Caesar in his arms, who was still asleep, he returned to the topic with a lowered voice, "What about the Master? He's just a child, his energy value couldn't possibly be higher than mine."
"In fact, I don't know either."
Venom's words were somewhat puzzled, murmuring hoarsely, "The energy value within his body is like an intangible black hole, fluctuating unpredictably, so that's why I said it's very strange."
"Maybe you sensed it wrong." Eddie didn't pay much attention to it. To him, a child was just a child, even if he was the descendant of a legendary hero, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Neither of them noticed that at this moment, although Caesar's eyes were still closed, a faint smile hung on his lips.
Caesar's appearance was undoubtedly human, but his internal DNA, muscles, bones, and other structures were much more complex.
Kryptonians themselves possessed a large energy conversion field within their bodies, absorbing solar energy directly with every breath. Suppressing or concealing the energy within his body was as simple as could be.
