Inside the Life Foundation Laboratory, Maria's body had been found, and Dora, along with two other doctors, examined Maria.
Upon receiving the news, Drake rushed back immediately. Arriving at the scene, he immediately asked, "How serious is the situation?"
Dora looked at Drake and said, "Very bad."
Drake shouted angrily, "Be more specific!"
The male PhD student standing nearby explained, "The Symbiote was taken away by the invaders."
Drake was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "Taken away? Taken away?"
Dora said, "I don't know what happened."
The security Captain who had accompanied Drake immediately said, "I need to question the person who was on duty last night."
The security guard being questioned replied, "I've already asked, boss."
"I haven't asked yet."
Drake glanced at Maria's body, then said, "Get her out of here quickly."
Dora immediately covered Maria's head with a white sheet and then pushed her body away.
At this moment, the male PhD student, who was the first to speak, said, "Drake, you need to take a look at this."
Drake asked in surprise, "What are you looking at?"
The male PhD student led Drake to the A2 Laboratory and said, "His blood pressure has returned to normal, and his liver function is normal as well."
Looking at the man inside the A2 Laboratory, Drake revealed an excited expression. "I knew it, he just needs time to adjust."
"There's no time to waste, expand the scale of the experiment immediately."
The doctor immediately obeyed, "Yes, sir."
Drake then summoned the Anbu Captain and gave him a task: to retrieve the lost Symbiote.

On the other side.
Eddie, after rummaging around in the room, fell asleep in the bathroom and woke up again around noon. Looking at the mess in the living room, he exclaimed, "Oh my god!"
He then turned on his phone to check the evidence he had taken, while the Symbiote Riot, who had escaped from the beginning, was now in control of a little girl's body and boarded a flight to San Francisco.
After reviewing the evidence he had filmed and confirmed it was accurate, Eddie thought for a moment, then pulled up Charlotte Doyle's phone number from his contacts and dialed it directly.
Charlotte, who had just finished lunch, smiled slightly when she saw Eddie Block's name on her phone and then picked up the phone to answer it.
"Hello, Mr. Charlotte, I'm Eddie Block, do you remember me?"
"Eddie, I remember you."
"How's the new job? Have you settled in yet?"
"Mr. Charlotte, are you familiar with the Life Foundation?"
Charlotte chuckled, "I've heard of it. It's a medical group in San Francisco. You faced unemployment because you offended them."
Eddie now understood why he had come to work for Mr. Charlotte; the latter certainly knew. He continued, "I've made a major discovery. They've brought back extraterrestrial life forms and are using them to conduct human experiments, which has already killed many people."
"I have gathered a great deal of evidence, and Dora from the Life Foundation will be our witness."
"With these things, we can completely destroy Drake and rid society of this scourge."
Hearing Eddie's words, Charlotte nodded to herself. It wasn't too different from what she already knew, and she said, "Eddie, I understand what you're saying."
"Here's an email address. Send me the information, and I'll arrange for the media to expose the Life Foundation, ensuring we completely shut them down."
"But the Life Foundation is a huge corporation. If they find out you broke into the Laboratory, you'll face a violent attack."
"Eddie, don't underestimate any capitalist. They'll sell the noose that hangs them for profit, let alone when it comes to extraterrestrial life."
Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Eddie instantly understood that he couldn't underestimate Drake and his Life Foundation. If they were going to fire a gun at him, they might very well come to the city to hunt him down.
"Boss, I'm your employee now. Should I come back right now?"
"I believe that even Drake wouldn't dare to do anything with you by his side."
Hearing Eddie's words, Charlotte laughed and said, "Haha, I thought you were a fearless reporter."
"To dare to break into their Laboratory all by yourself and still manage to escape is quite impressive."
"Alright, I'll give you two choices. One is to stay in San Francisco. I'll send a small team of ninjas to protect you and carry out the mission of capturing Drake."
"You'll be in charge of filming and broadcasting the entire process, recording everything that happens there, and then selectively broadcasting it on television."
"The second option is to take the fastest flight back to the Charlotte Agency in New York, where someone will protect your safety until everything is settled."
Hearing his boss offer two options, Eddie thought for a moment, then asked, "Boss, aren't you going to handle it yourself?"
Charlotte shook her head. "He doesn't deserve it!"
"Eddie, a nobody like him, my men could easily take care of him. It would be giving him too much credit to do it myself."
Hearing his boss's words, Eddie didn't know how to respond. However, considering the terrifying strength reported in the media, he knew that Drake, an ordinary person, was indeed no match for him. After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"I choose the first option: I want to document the entire process of Drake's arrest and his crimes."
"Alright, then get ready to be filmed and recorded. Ninja Squad will contact you later."
"Thank you, boss."
Eddie hung up the phone, a hint of joy on his face. This was the advantage of having a powerful backer.
You don't have to worry about offending anyone, nor are you afraid of being bullied.
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte immediately dialed Kurenai Yuhi's number.
"Kurenai Yuhi Jonin, Phase Two of the mission begins!"
"Yes, Lord Charlotte."
This was Charlotte's second mission: after witnessing Eddie transform, to save him in a critical moment and then head to the Life Foundation to arrest Drake.
If Drake is also possessed by Symbiote, he is required to bring back the Symbiote from the other person; if the other person is not possessed, Kurenai Yuhi is required to find the Symbiote and bring it back.
