Toxin: "…"
After a while, Toxin roared angrily, "Come on, we are imprisoned in an isolation room like prisoners! Please be serious!"
"Don't worry." Eddie said with a relaxed look on his face, "The Imperial Building is the property and residence of the Symbol of Peace."
"You really think he is a god." Toxin found it difficult to understand. After traveling through the interstellar space for decades, it believed in itself far more than it believed in others.
"If you can stop World War II and save the world several times, I can also regard you as a god."
Eddie shrugged. Anyone who came to New York City would become a Kaibuki by accident.
That's the charm of the peace symbol.
Human beings are weak, and that is why they worship superhuman gods and hope that heroes can save the world when it is in danger and rescue them when they themselves suffer misfortune and death.
"Squeak—"
The door of the isolation room suddenly opened, and the sound of high heels hitting the floor rang out from outside.
Eddie followed his gaze and saw an oriental beauty in a black dress walking in slowly. Her fair skin was revealed on her wrists and neck, and her long black hair fluttered on her shoulders. Her every move revealed a suffocating sexiness and intimidation.
Yutong came and sat on the chair, holding a document in her slender hand, her long legs together and slanted, her shiny black stockings contrasting with the faint light, and she looked up and down with her black eyes at Eddie who had retreated to the bed.
Eddie swallowed with a dry mouth.
It must be said that the woman in front of him was the ultimate beauty recorded in the book, far more beautiful than the celebrity actresses on TV who relied on makeup and light filters. But after seeing Yu Tong's strength and means last night, he felt that his desires and fantasies were instantly decadent.
This woman is so dangerous!
When Dutu attacked anyone, he would roar like a lion, wanting to bite off the other person's head. However, when he saw Yutong, he hid like a cat and dared not make a sound.
"Um, is Luna okay?" Eddie mustered up the courage to ask.
When Yutong heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. She nodded and said, "She's fine. She's still recovering from her injuries."
"That's good." Eddie said with great joy.
"Why don't you consider your own situation first, but worry about the safety of others?" Yutong asked back.
"I'm in your hands now. I can't do anything to you. " Eddie said as if he had given up.
"Yes, you know what trouble you have caused." Yu Tong smiled and narrated: "The place where you originally lived, plus the financial damage to Hada Street and the highway, in addition to the damage caused by Ka Tu and those symbiotes, you will have to pay one million US dollars alone."
Eddie could only smile bitterly.
Yutong continued, "Also, your involvement in the murder case has been recorded in the New York and military files. The Daily News Company announced last night that it had terminated its employee contract with you."
Eddie was in tears. For an ordinary person, there was almost no future.
Chapter 325: Contract of Sale
In the isolation room.
Looking at Eddie who looked like he had lost all hope in life, Yutong thought that she had laid the groundwork for the conversation, so she got down to business and said in a firm tone, "Eddie, you only have the last two options left."
"Ah, there are still two? It's just one. Jump out from the roof and all will be over." Eddie forced a smile and said self-deprecatingly in a relaxed manner.
"The second one is tailor-made for you after comprehensive consideration of your situation."
Yu Tong had been waiting for a long time, and she said softly, "The Unnatural Firm can pay the one million dollars for you. We can completely delete the criminal records from the police and military through official channels. We can even eliminate all the negative rumors from the outside world..."
"Stop talking!" Eddie's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly interrupted Yutong's words. Under Yutong's surprised gaze, he raised his head slightly bitterly and said, "Is there any possibility for me to refuse?"
"No." Yu Tong smiled indifferently and answered elegantly and straightforwardly.
Eddie spread his hands and said, "That's it. Tell me your terms. I don't believe you can help me for no reason."
"You're a smart person." Yutong commented.
Because of the symbiosis of toxins, she couldn't read the other party's mind at will, and could only lay the groundwork for a little guidance, so as to prevent Eddie from failing in the negotiation due to rejection. Unexpectedly, the other party was so smart that he took the initiative to jump into the trap he had prepared.
Eddie sighed and said, "Thank you for the compliment. After all, I am a journalist who majored in journalism. I can judge the situation. You obviously have me in your hands. There is a huge gap between our status and strength. You have the upper hand. I don't have the right to take a third path."
"Then I'll be frank." Yutong paused, looked directly at Eddie and said, "The condition is that you join the Unnatural Firm and become a temporary worker."
"What?!" Eddie was a little confused. Is this a forced condition or an online benefit
You should know that the Non-Natural Firm never recruits people from outside, even if the service receptionists are all internal members of the Karl family. If he agrees, he will be the only external employee in the firm.
But what is a 'temporary worker'
Eddie asked cautiously, "My major probably doesn't meet the requirements of our company, right?"
"Not bad. The firm just happens to need an internal media person to facilitate the release of information to the outside world. But what we value more is your combat potential and value."
Yutong said as she handed the document she had been holding to Eddie, saying, "Of course, this temporary employment contract is not just for you alone. To be precise, it is for you and the symbiont in your body."
"You've been prepared for this." Eddie smiled bitterly, took the document, opened it and found that it was a temporary employment contract. There were nearly a hundred clauses below, filling up ten pages of formal A4 paper.
Eddie flipped through the pages carefully, and the more he read, the more his scalp tingled. When he turned to the last page, he put the contract under his hand and gasped, "What kind of unfair clause is this?"
Without mentioning a bunch of restrictions, let’s just talk about the first one: “After signing a temporary worker contract with this firm, the cooperation period is valid for up to 100 years. During this period, the temporary worker cannot unilaterally terminate the contract, otherwise he must compensate this firm 10 billion US dollars…”
There is also Article 56: "Temporary workers must obey the instructions of the boss of this firm, work 24 hours a day, and leave immediately if there is a task..."
The last 101st article: "The final right of interpretation of all clauses in the temporary worker's contract belongs to Fei Ziran Law Firm."
"What kind of contract is this? It's clearly a contract to sell one's body!" Eddie was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Eddie, you absolutely cannot sign it. Look at the signatory at the bottom of the contract." Toxin suddenly said in a deep voice in Eddie's mind.
Eddie opened it again and took a look. Yes, the temporary labor contract was signed by: Eddie and the symbiote in his body. In other words, this contract would tie them together and make them work for unnatural things for the rest of their lives.
"Don't worry. In addition to the agreements we have signed, temporary workers enjoy all the benefits of regular employees of the firm and the red-level card disciples of the Karl family. And we won't force you to kill people or commit crimes." Yu Tong said this and then changed the subject, "In addition, asking you to sign this contract is not only my idea, but also the boss's idea."
"Boss?" Eddie tilted his head in confusion.
"This building belongs to the Non-Natural Office." Yutong said softly.
"It actually means a symbol of peace." Eddie was shocked, and his previous depression and worry disappeared.
At least, the legendary hero and symbol of peace would not betray him, a good citizen of New York City, right
"The title of boss really comes in handy." Yutong looked at Eddie's relieved expression and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
This temporary labor contract was naturally not made by the boss, but didn’t the boss tell her to handle it herself
"Okay, I'll sign it!" Eddie pondered for a moment and said with determination.
