In Marvel, People are Kamen Rider - Chapter 19
“Orphion is my family, Polly and them are slaves…”
Listening to Murakami Ky?ra’s words, Andrew felt confused for a moment.
But he quickly shook his head and exclaimed excitedly, “No! That’s not true! They are my family! How could they be slaves? I’m willing to die for them!”
“Your thinking is normal! Because you’re still thinking from a human perspective!”
Facing Andrew’s denial, Murakami Ky?ra remained calm.
He smiled and said, “Once you’ve evolved, you’ll understand completely! Humans and Orphions are actually two different species! Just like humans and cattle and horses!”
Andrew fell silent for a moment.
Then he lifted his head and said, “I want to go home.”
“I advise you not to be foolish! Your identity has been exposed to those aristocrats, and your family may already be under surveillance! If you go back now, it’s walking into a trap! Do you really think your power is invincible?”
Murakami Ky?ra glanced at Andrew and continued, “I saved you not to send you back to die!”
“But my family must be very worried! And my wife doesn’t have a job, my children still need to go to school! We have loans for the car and the house! What should we do about that?”
Andrew became anxious all of a sudden.
“When you decided to attack humans, those things became irrelevant to you! Andrew!”
Murakami Ky?ra said softly, “You’ve ignored human laws and social hierarchies, haven’t you?”
Hearing Murakami Ky?ra’s words, Andrew’s face turned pale.
He sat down weakly on the ground, finally understanding one thing—
He couldn’t go back to human society anymore!
“The Boa Constrictor and the Glasses Python were killed by the Locust Man!”
Roxon Energy Building.
The remaining members of the Serpent Squad gathered together, their eyes filled with grief, hatred, and anger.
The bodies of the Boa Constrictor and the Glasses Python were finally found, and based on the injuries, the Serpents immediately inferred who the culprit was.
The Serpents halted their search for the Locust Man and returned to their base.
“Damn it, this guy, did we offend him, the Serpent Society?”
Rock Python, tall and wearing a blue uniform, gritted his teeth, his eyes red.
“No, he has a grudge against the entire Roxon!”
A man in a suit walked up to them, none other than Hugh Jones, the current CEO of Roxon Energy.
“What? Have you figured out the true identity of the Locust Man?”
Seeing Hugh Jones arrive, several Serpents frowned.
“Of course! The day before yesterday, the Locust Man transformed in front of everyone!”
Hugh said leisurely.
“Who?”
Several Serpents immediately became excited.
“Jerome Lin, CEO of Jericho Intelligence!”
Hugh smirked, “The day before yesterday, at his girlfriend’s birthday party, he transformed into the Locust Man to deal with a creature called Orphion!”
As the CEO of Roxon Energy, Hugh Jones also had good relations with many elites.
So he knew quite a bit of insider information. After all, not everyone’s mouth was sealed tight.
“Damn it! Where did we offend Jerome? He’s coming after us!”
Several Serpents were furious.
“Forget about a month ago, when you blew up Jericho Intelligence’s factory? That cost Jerome billions!”
Hugh chuckled.
“For a factory, Jerome actually went this far! He’s going after us!”
Several Serpents were indignant, looking at Rock Python:
“Captain, shall we go kill Jerome Lin? Destroy the entire Jericho!”
“Fools! Inside Jericho Intelligence, there are so many Maggia Security Models, are we a match for them? Besides, if the Locust Man could easily kill Water Moccasin and the Boa Constrictor, he’s definitely not simple! If we go knocking on their door, we’re asking for death!”
Rock Python scolded the group.
He shook his head imperceptibly.
Although these guys in front of him had good fighting skills, their brains were really lacking.
“What should we do then? We can’t just let it go like this!”
Several Serpents became agitated.
“Of course we can’t just let it go! We must make Jerome Lin pay for his blood debts! But blind action will only get us all killed!”
Rock Python’s eyes flickered, and he looked at Hugh Jones next to him, saying coldly:
“Hugh, the plan to attack Jericho Intelligence was your idea! We all followed your orders! So you’re responsible for the deaths of our brothers and sisters! You must be held accountable for this!”
“Of course, no problem!”
Hugh Jones nodded with a smile.
“Jericho Intelligence has been encroaching on our Roxon Energy’s market continuously. There will be a big clash between us sooner or later! Killing Jerome Lin is good for Roxon Energy as a whole, so of course I’ll help you!
Let me tell you some news! The day before yesterday, Jerome Lin held a birthday party for his girlfriend, Skye. Jerome Lin values his girlfriend very much. If we can capture Skye… heh heh!”
“Understood.”
Rock Python seemed to sense something and squinted at Hugh for a while, while Hugh remained nonchalant, seeming untroubled.
“In that case, let’s capture Skye first and then deal with Jerome Lin! This time, we’ll let the world know that the Serpent Squad is not to be trifled with! Even if you’re a world tycoon, you can’t mess with us!”
A bone-chilling coldness flashed in Rock Python’s eyes.
New York.
Midtown High School in the morning.
The weather today was very nice, with sunlight pouring into every corner of the campus, making this typical American high school appear so vivid.
The campus was shaded by green trees, the lawn neatly trimmed, presenting a vibrant scene.
Students walked in groups of three or five along the paths on campus, laughter and conversation mingling to create a youthful melody.
The school uniforms here seemed more like decorations; some students wore trendy sportswear, some chose simple casual wear, and others wore brightly colored eccentric outfits, and the teachers didn’t seem to care.
“Peter, I bet you ten bucks, the Locust Man is definitely Tony Stark!”
At the school gate, two figures, one fat and one thin, walked shoulder to shoulder toward the direction of the classroom.
“No, Ned! Let me tell you, the Locust Man is probably a bug robot developed by Osborn Industries! I checked out Osborn Industries’ related technical output, and their scientists kept locusts in a hypergravity centrifuge, spinning them twenty-three hours a day, and the result was that the locusts’ bone strength increased fivefold under hypergravity conditions!”
The young man called Peter shook his head, refuting the view of the chubby Asian youth.
