Chapter 323 Capturing Venom

"You've gone crazy! You've only known him for less than half a day, and you've already fallen for him? We haven't even figured out his identity yet!" Jane's eyes widened as she stared directly at her best friend.

Jane and Darcy had been friends since high school, all the way through college. Jane was well aware of Darcy's personality, despite her seemingly flirtatious exterior resembling a social butterfly. 

In reality, Darcy had never been in a decent relationship despite being quite popular among the opposite sex at school, and she would often reject suitors with an attitude that implied, "Other guys are just like little kids, creatures thinking with the lower half of their bodies. It's more reliable to rely on myself to find a boyfriend."

The last time Jane went through a breakup, Darcy mocked her relentlessly, even going so far as to vow that she would never fall into the trap of a man easily. Yet now... she surrendered willingly so quickly?

However, if it was Mr. Carl, it was somewhat understandable— after all, no matter how critical the gaze, he was the perfect urban elite that did not exist in reality.

"His identity is that of the head of a company, right? And he is someone guaranteed by your professional mentor. Could he be a fraud?" Darcy retorted immediately, her eyes revealing a hazy spring-like affection.

Jane had wanted to persuade her a bit more, but seeing Darcy's determined look, she could only helplessly shrug and say, "I know, no matter what I say now, you won't listen. But I still have to remind you, that Mr. Carl is not someone a girl like you can handle."

"If I don't try, how will I know?" Darcy bit her lip, grabbed Jane's arm, and stubbornly said, "Jane, I have come all the way to this godforsaken place with you. You need to help me with this."

"What's your plan?" Jane sighed and asked.

"You have alcohol in your car, right? We can..." Darcy began to say, her face flushing with two bright spots, and her suggestive words shocked Jane.

Jane decisively refused, "Your approach is a self-destructive method, absolutely not. And do you think Professor and Thor are non-existent?"

"What should we do then..." Darcy looked at Jane with pleading eyes. Jane, feeling a bit soft-hearted, began to teach her limited dating techniques.

So, the two recent college graduates, hiding in a corner of the wilderness, secretly discussed the mysteries of life.

By the campfire at the campsite.

Kyle looked up and casually glanced at Jane and Darcy twenty meters away before quickly withdrawing his gaze and proceeding to finish the golden-brown chicken wings he had grilled.

It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop intentionally, but the distance of more than twenty meters, with his extraordinarily keen hearing, was almost equivalent to a whispered conversation right next to his ear.

Sometimes having good hearing wasn't such a good thing!

Kyle silently tusked as he listened with a bit of boredom as the two girls planned and schemed about how to capture him.

"Uh, Kyle... Mr. Carl," Erik respectfully lowered his voice and inquired of Kyle, "About today's SHIELD matter..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Kyle understood his meaning and said in a calm tone, "It's fine. They won't trouble you guys anymore, and after tomorrow, the equipment they searched and took away from you will be returned by the agents."

"That's good, that's good." Erik breathed a sigh of relief before he seemingly realized something, and asked with slight surprise, "After tomorrow?"

"Yes, after tomorrow, everything here will be in the past. Our journey should come to an end as well," Kyle shrugged, prophetically speaking inexplicably.

"Is there something big happening tomorrow?" Erik held his chest, slightly nervous.

"You could say that, but it's not something you should concern yourself with. Gods battling each other has nothing to do with you guys," Kyle nodded.

"Gods battling each other..." Erik swallowed as he looked towards Thor not far away, hesitating with an extremely complicated tone, "Is that Thor really a god?"

Kyle smiled without saying a word.

"The Thor from the mythology? His father is really the King of the Gods, Odin?" Erik continued to ask.

Kyle didn't answer but tacitly accepted Erik's statement.

After getting confirmation, Erik took a sharp breath, "My goodness."

Not only did he treat Symbol of Peace to lunch, but he also bought beer for Thor. Who could believe it?

While Erik was still digesting this shocking information, Kyle stood up from the mat on the ground, patted his shoulder, and said, "Later, help me distract your two students; I have something I need to attend to."

Erik shivered and hastily responded, "Understood! I will definitely do it!"

"Relax a bit." Kyle waved his hand and walked alone towards the RV.

Entering the back compartment of the RV, Kyle closed the door, sat in the enclosed cabin seat, and said in a low voice, "Vis, establish contact with Raina on the other side."

"Yes, Master."

The mechanical wristwatch emitted a faint glow, and blue light blinked, forming a 3D projection in the air.

After five seconds, the private communication between the two locations was finally connected, and the projection revealed Raina's delicate and gentle face.

As if having just gone through a fierce battle, there were slight beads of sweat on Raina's forehead, a few strands of black hair sticking to her fair face, and her gem-like beautiful eyes still had a lingering cold silver gleam.

When contacting Kyle, the chilling aura around Raina instantly dissipated, and she softly called out, "Boss."

"Family Head!"

The Cardinals surrounding Raina, upon seeing Kyle's projection, all knelt on one knee as a sign of respect.

"How's the situation over there?" Kyle asked.

"It's settled. The second Symbiote has just been eradicated." Raina said casually as if she had just dealt with a mouse invading her home.

On the side, the kneeling Cardinals trembled, their scalps tingling, as they looked at the liquid lifeform corpse with a dark-red color beneath Raina's feet. The golden-haired little girl, as the host, lay unharmed on the ground.

To separate the Symbiote and its host forcefully, without relying on Sonic Attacks and flames, probably only Raina could do it. Using powerful thoughts as a surgical tool, precisely, elegantly, and directly cutting the bodies and consciousness of the two apart...

Just hearing about it sent shivers down the spine.

"Eddie, remember, never provoke that woman," Venom said in Eddie's mind with an unprecedented seriousness.

Eddie, still sitting on the edge of the battlefield, agreed weakly, "Of course, I won't be that foolish."

"Good job."

As Kyle was just about to comment, Raina praised Lorna, "Lorna did well too, capturing both Eddie and the Symbiote inside him."

"I'm her friend, not a captive," Eddie weakly corrected.

After contemplating for a moment, Kyle asked, "That Symbiote... does it really have no weaknesses?"

"As of now, yes," Raina replied.

"Alright. Bring them back to the Empire Tower for a practical test, and handle the specific arrangements yourself. I will probably need to stay in Mexico for about another day. Understand the situation here, and I'll return as soon as possible," Kyle didn't overthink it and immediately issued orders.

"Yes, Boss."

Raina originally wanted to mention Lorna's situation, but considering Lorna's pride and the severe consequences of angering the Boss, she chose to conceal it.
