"What should I do, man? Think of a solution!"
In the descending elevator, Eddie sought help from the toxin that was symbiotically attached to his body. He felt that what he was holding in his hands was not a baby, but a C4 explosive pack that could explode at any time.
"What can I do about that person's offspring? Just follow the instructions of Big Sister. It's impossible for such a distinguished young master of the family to be left to a single dog like you to take care of for a long time."
Toxin admitted defeat neatly, and then said in confusion, "I don't know if it's my illusion. Anyway, I vaguely felt an unfathomable energy from the young master's body."
"What's the meaning?"
Eddie asked in a low voice, his eyes quietly falling on Caesar's little face as he slept soundly. His cute sleeping posture looked harmless to humans and animals.
"We, the symbionts, can detect and sense the energy values of other organisms. That is, an objective value that combines biological energy, vitality, body magnetic field, static electricity, blood genes, etc."
For fear that Eddie wouldn't understand, Toxin used a metaphor to say, "The big sister Miss Yutong just now, her energy value can be described as the moon, her strength is admirable, and it is almost impossible to catch up with or reach. Mr. Kyle, his energy value is like the sun, so strong and hot that even a little bit of approach is a delusion."
"What about me?" Eddie asked curiously.
"You?" Toxin paused, then said bluntly, "Without my symbiotic assistance, your energy value would be nothing more than the dim stars in the sky. It would be a good analogy to use a stone on the ground."
"You are really merciless." Eddie touched his nose with his empty right hand. Seeing that Caesar in his arms was still asleep, he returned to the point and asked in a low voice, "What about the young master? He is just a child. It is impossible that his energy value is higher than mine."
"Actually, I don't understand either."
Toxin's words were a bit dazed, and he muttered hoarsely, "The energy value in his body is like a black hole without substance, fluctuating up and down and impossible to detect. That's why I said it was very strange just now."
"Maybe you sensed it wrongly." Eddie didn't take it to heart. To him, children were just children after all. Even if they were the offspring of a legendary hero, there wouldn't be much difference.
Neither of them noticed that although Caesar still had his eyes closed, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Caesar's appearance is undoubtedly similar to that of a human, but the structures of his DNA, muscles, bones, etc. are much more complicated. Kryptonians have large energy conversion fields in their bodies and can directly absorb solar energy by just breathing. It is really easy for them to suppress or hide the energy in their bodies.
Chapter 350 The Son of God Appears
The exclusive elevator goes directly from the top floor to the first floor. Following the system's ding-dong prompt, the elevator doors quickly open to both sides.
Eddie walked out naturally as usual, but as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the spacious hall, which was originally a bit noisy, immediately became silent. The media reporters and outsiders who came to inquire about the information all focused their strange eyes on him.
"Why are you looking at me? We're all in the same business." Eddie frowned in surprise, his chin tilted towards the reporter's ID hanging on his chest.
After a few gentle reminders from the toxins in his body, Eddie realized that everyone's attention was not directed at him. To be precise, people were attracted by Caesar who was sleeping in his arms.
Oops, I almost forgot about this!
Eddie's heart skipped a beat, and his free right hand reacted quickly, pulling up a corner of his coat to cover Caesar's little head, completely covering his tiny baby body.
After finishing all this, Eddie looked calm, humming a tune in a relaxed manner, and was about to take Caesar and walk through the people in the lobby to leave the Empire Building.
"Wait a minute! Mr. Eddie, you just used the top-level privilege elevator. Have you met the current acting boss of Unnatural Agency and Stark Industries?" A female reporter with big blond hair called out in a delicate voice, twisting her slender waist back and forth, sticking out her shameful breasts, and walking quickly forward in fashionable high heels.
"Next time, we'll talk again next time we have a chance."
Eddie swallowed his saliva and forced himself to look away from the other party's weapon. If it was a normal day, he wouldn't mind going up and flirting a bit, but now he had a precious young master with him, so how could he have the time to pay attention to these beautiful temptations.
Before he could take two steps, another middle-aged male reporter came forward. His hair and beard were in disarray. He stared at the ball of clothes in Eddie's arms with bloodshot eyes and said weakly and hoarsely, "Brother, I'm a reporter for the New York Daily News. I have been waiting for an interview about the symbol of peace for half a year. I saw you coming out of the elevator just now. You were holding a one-year-old baby in your arms. Could it be that the child is..."
"You are so dedicated. As a new reporter, I will learn from you in the future." Eddie interrupted him hastily and quickened his pace towards the main entrance of the building.
The third beautifully dressed young female reporter chased after him and called out in a friendly manner, "Mr. Eddie, I'm a new employee at your former news company. Can I interview you..."
"Previous company? I only worked there for less than three days and was forced to resign!"
Eddie rolled his eyes, complained a few words in his heart, and quickly responded with "Let's meet again when there's a chance", then rushed out of the main entrance regardless of anything.
Eddie thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the sunlight again. But when he looked up and saw the scene outside the door, his scalp tingled and he was speechless.
I don’t know if the news leaked or if it was just the reporter’s unique sensitivity.
At a glance, both sides of the building's entrance were filled with reporters and media waiting. Compared with the scene in the hall, it was even more frightening. They were carrying media equipment and microphones. When they saw Eddie, they were like a group of sharks smelling blood, and they enthusiastically passed microphones marked with various logos to him.
Normally, due to the overbearing and cold personality of the Ka Tu, few media reporters dared to ask them for information. However, as a temporary worker of the Unnatural Agency and an official external reporter, Eddie was undoubtedly a hot commodity in the eyes of New York reporters.
As a former journalist, Eddie is also happy to be sought after and paid attention to by the outside world, and he often deals with some media reporters on a daily basis.
But now, he has a huge secret, and if it is exposed, he will be in trouble in the future.
“No comment!”
Without waiting for them to ask questions, Eddie took Caesar and struggled to break out of the crowd of reporters. After a while, they arrived at where the motorcycles were parked. They started the motorcycles and got rid of the reporters chasing behind.
The main entrance of Dihao Building.
The two card disciples watched this scene silently. After looking at each other, one of them took out a sophisticated communicator and reported: "Guardian, I am Red Ten. Eddie has left here safely."
"Very good." Yu Tong's cold voice sounded from the other side of the communicator.
Red Ten said indignantly in a low voice: "I don't understand why the young master should be handed over to the temporary worker for protection, and why he should leave the safe zone of the branch base building. I admit that Eddie, with the help of the symbiote, does have very strong combat power and can excellently complete some extremely difficult enemy annihilation and reconnaissance tasks, but he is too careless and is not suitable for the duties of a bodyguard. Especially when the person to be protected is the young master-"
I have to admit that Hong Shi was envious and jealous. Not only him, almost all the elders of the Karl family were envious and crazy. For them, being able to protect the descendants of the head of the family was a supreme honor.
In response, Yu Tong calmly said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. This is the young master's own choice."
"Young Master?" Ka Tu was stunned, then shook his head and sighed, "As expected of you, you are the Young Master."
Inside the top floor office.
Yu Tong, who was sitting on the office chair, turned off her communication device. A smile appeared on her lips, and she muttered to herself, "As you said. At this rate, it won't be long before everyone in the world knows about your outside life."
If Caesar wanted to use himself as bait, he had to go against the huge human resources of the Karl family. Otherwise, when a group of Karl's followers stood there, no one would dare to have the slightest evil intention.
Therefore, if Caesar wants to move freely in the outside world, the best intermediary is Eddie, a temporary worker. No matter how strong Eddie is, he is only one person and does not live in the Imperial Building. In the eyes of others, there are many loopholes for him to exploit.
Yu Tong thought for a moment, then said to the air on the table, "Let's put aside the family's affairs for now and monitor the communications in New York at will. I really want to know who dares to attack anyone in our family in New York now."
The computer screen flickered, and a cold, mechanical system voice responded, "Understood."
At this time, on the other side.
After getting rid of the reporters, Eddie went somewhere with Caesar in his arms, but eventually he chose to return to his own apartment in the community.
In the past six months, despite being driven and tossed around by the Unnatural Firm, Eddie still received an additional basic salary - one hundred thousand US dollars a month. This basic salary is very little in the eyes of card players, but it is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.
Eddie bought a seventh-floor suite in a luxurious community within the Third Ring Road in the city center, which was staffed by retired military security guards and had a large parking lot. This marked the first step in officially turning his life around.
When he got home, Eddie laid the still sleeping Caesar steadily on the sofa. With the constant urging of the toxins in his mind, he walked towards the sink next to the kitchen helplessly and angrily.
In the one-meter-high and five-meter-wide tank, various kinds of marine fish swim in groups, creating colorful ripples under the lighting source.
"We're having tropical fish for this meal. I haven't tasted anything fresh in a while."
