FEAST Homeless Shelter

Outside the FEAST Homeless Shelter, Martin Li, dressed in a suit, watched Li Wei being interviewed with some unease.

They were both from China, but Martin Li felt no sense of kinship at this moment.

The moment he saw Li Wei, he sensed that something was wrong.

The Devil's Gang had only just stolen Li Wei's research data. Could he have found out?

Martin Li felt a little flustered, and even his expression looked off.

The new female employee beside him saw how nervous he was and immediately asked, "Martin, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, May."

Martin Li took a deep breath. Fortunately, Li Wei hadn't come over yet.

Watching Li Wei speak so eloquently, Martin Li could only lament how differently their lives had turned out.

They were both from China. Why was Li Wei doing so well?

At that moment, Li Wei pressed down with one hand. "All right, let's end the discussion about that good-for-nothing Tony Stark here."

"As for why he's a good-for-nothing, whenever I video-call him, he's always sleeping!"

"Wow!"

The reporters immediately became excited. "Ren, why do you video-call him?"

"Wait, wait. We should be talking about the shelter right now."

Li Wei didn't answer directly, leaving the internet to stew over it instead.

Go ahead and guess!

The reporters had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Li Wei, why did you acquire this shelter?"

"Because I'm someone who's passionate about charity..."

Li Wei immediately began crafting a public image for himself.

He had learned all this from the internet, and was now putting it to use with great flexibility.

Entrepreneurs on the other side of the ocean loved creating all kinds of public personas for themselves.

Things like not caring about money, being unable to tell beauty from ugliness, or being the person who understood netizens best.

The image Li Wei was now building for himself was that of a sincere, down-to-earth technology mogul.

Don't ask. He'd learned it from others.

"I've always been committed to helping people with disabilities. The homeless are no different. I hope to provide them with better conditions, so I acquired this place."

Hearing Li Wei's words, the reporters frantically pressed their shutters. Accompanied by the flashes of the cameras, Li Wei looked as though he were about to be guided into heaven by a radiance of light.

Greatness needed no explanation!

Whether or not the reporters believed him, at least this was what he was doing.

Li Wei waved his hand, and the staff held the reporters back. Gwen Stacy hurried inside with Li Wei, her head lowered.

She wasn't used to so many camera flashes, and facing the cameras made her extremely nervous.

That was why she admired Li Wei so much: no matter how many reporters there were, he could always speak with ease.

Of course, whenever he opened his mouth, he was sure to mock Tony Stark.

"You're Martin Li, right?"

Li Wei looked at the man in front of him. He was dressed in a suit and appeared to be in his thirties. He had groomed himself meticulously, without even a hint of stubble.

"That's me, Mr. Li Wei."

Martin Li forced a smile.

He was clearly older than Li Wei, yet he had to act meekly in front of him.

In this society, money determined one's status.

Now that Future Technology Company had secured orders from S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Osborn Group, it was on an entirely different level from before.

Li Wei glanced at Martin Li's face. He had a bandage stuck to it.

"What happened to your face? It should be nothing serious, right?"

"It's nothing. I just bumped it by accident."

Martin Li touched his face. Thinking of Spider-Woman from the previous night, he grew irritated.

"Hmm. Be more careful next time."

Li Wei nodded, then looked at the person beside Martin Li. "And who is this?"

She was a woman in her thirties or forties, wearing a floral dress and exuding an irresistibly alluring charm.

"Mr. Li Wei, my name is May Parker."

May shook hands with Li Wei, her face wearing a warm smile.

"May?"

Hearing the name, Li Wei was somewhat surprised.

May Parker? Wasn't she Peter Parker's aunt May?

How could she be... so beautiful?

"What's wrong, Mr. Li Wei?"

May looked a little nervous when she saw his expression.

"Nothing. It's a lovely name."

Li Wei smiled and released her hand.

There was plenty of time.

"Let's go inside."

Li Wei and Martin Li entered the homeless shelter first.

As soon as they entered, they saw that the entire hall was filled with homeless people.

Some had simply placed a tattered mattress on the floor and lay there without moving.

Others had laid down several pieces of battered cardboard...

There was only one television hanging in the hall, and a group of homeless people had gathered around it to watch.

The smell wasn't pleasant, but Li Wei didn't show it. Instead, he appeared completely calm.

This was intentional on Martin Li's part.

To pampered capitalists, many people looked down even on ordinary people, let alone the homeless.

Seeing this scene, they would certainly feel dissatisfied and might even regret the acquisition.

But Li Wei clearly did not.

At Future Technology Company, he often encountered all kinds of people with disabilities. He never felt the slightest discomfort and instead tried to help them.

Li Wei felt the same way now. At the very least, he wanted to keep these poor people from inexplicably becoming someone else's "blood bags."

Martin Li studied Li Wei and felt that this was becoming troublesome.

"Mr. Li Wei, let's go upstairs."

"All right."

Li Wei nodded.

When they reached the office on the second floor, only a few people went inside.

Li Wei looked around the office. It was extremely plain and minimalist.

This had been Martin Li's office, but Li Wei had kicked him out of it now.

"Mr. Li Wei, may I ask why you suddenly decided to acquire this place?"

Martin Li was still unwilling to accept it, carefully studying Li Wei.

Li Wei sat in the boss's chair and said righteously, "The reasons are exactly what I said earlier. I want to help these unfortunate people."

Those words gave May Parker a very favorable impression of him, and her eyes seemed to shine.

She was a kindhearted person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here to volunteer.

Her previous impression of Li Wei came from what the news had reported: he was always trading barbs with Tony Stark, a genius scientist with a "rather bad temper."

But now she realized she had been wrong. Li Wei was a kindhearted person too!

Martin Li was the only one present who didn't believe any of this.

After all, he was only using the shelter to make money. He didn't believe that Li Wei was genuinely a good person.

It was all nonsense!

At that moment, Li Wei made his move. "Martin, why is the office missing so many things? I heard it was robbed last night. The thieves even ransacked the office. How strange."

Martin Li immediately felt sweat break out on his forehead. He looked at Li Wei and said, "I find it strange too. There's nothing valuable here."

"So, Mr. Li Wei, I hope you'll give up on this place. This is the fruit of my labor."

Hearing Martin Li's words, Li Wei looked at him with a half-smile.

"Your hard work matters, but mine doesn't?"

"I've already completed the acquisition. This is my company, so I hope you'll disappear from in front of me as soon as possible."

Li Wei folded his hands and said flatly.

Martin Li narrowed his eyes as he looked at Li Wei.

He was certain now. Li Wei had come to get revenge.

The man was being so arrogant that he wasn't even bothering to pretend!

"I hope you won't regret this."

He left them with that final threat. He had only lost because of capital. He hadn't lost in any other respect!

"Get lost!"

Li Wei's voice turned cold.
