Chapter 659: Another first meeting with Peter Parker! (Second update, please subscribe!)

At Osborn Tower, Su Quan and Gwen Stacy, who had returned from their date, walked in chatting and laughing. They were only talking about meaningless 'nonsense', but the smile on Gwen Stacy’s face was very sweet, and her whole person radiated the brilliance of happiness.

The two walked toward the elevator, but Su Quan’s peripheral vision caught a 'familiar' figure at the front desk.

"You’re here for the internship, right?" the receptionist at the front desk asked the boy at the counter.

Peter Parker paused slightly, decided to go with the flow, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes."

The receptionist didn't doubt him, because a batch of interns was starting today, so she naturally reminded him: "Find your name tag on the left."

Peter Parker looked to the left, where name tags with names printed on them were placed on the counter.

His name was not among these tags because he was not an intern hired by Osborn Corp at all. He came here for only one purpose: to explore his parents’ past and find Dr. Curt Connors, his father’s former colleague and partner.

Seeing that he hadn't picked up a tag, the receptionist asked: "Can’t find your name?"

Peter Parker nervously pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, just about to grab a random one to impersonate someone else’s identity, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

Turning his head at the sound, he saw a man and a woman looking at him not far away.

The one calling his name was the unfamiliar boy, and the girl beside the unfamiliar boy looked familiar. Although he didn't know her name, she should be a classmate from his school.

Peter Parker, whose identity had been exposed, nodded at the receptionist sheepishly and turned to walk over with confusion.

"Hi—who are you?" Peter Parker looked at the two and asked suspiciously.

"I am Su Quan, and this is Gwen Stacy," Su Quan looked him over with interest and said with a smile: "I am the person in charge of Dr. Curt Connors’ experimental project. If you want to see him, I can take you."

???

Peter Parker was full of question marks and asked subconsciously: "How do you know I want to see Dr. Connors?"

Su Quan said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "I know everything."

"Oh—" Peter Parker responded, and then there was no movement.

You know everything?

Damn, how am I supposed to respond to this topic?

"Follow us."

Su Quan smiled, and he and Gwen Stacy walked toward the elevator.

Although Peter Parker felt it was strange, the opportunity was rare, so he followed the two into the elevator.

The elevator rose slowly, but the three people in the elevator were quiet, each with their own thoughts.

Peter Parker was guessing who Su Quan was and why he knew his purpose.

Gwen Stacy was thinking that so he was Peter Parker; he looked very ordinary, completely lacking any shining points to attract her.

Her heart was now entirely on Su Quan, so she didn't think much about Peter Parker. After all, to her, Peter Parker was just a stranger.

What was Su Quan thinking?

He was thinking about whether to trick Peter Parker into joining Dr. Curt Connors’ research team and have them develop the cross-species genetics project together.

The Osborn family’s hereditary disease problem had been solved, and the core conflict point leading to various contradictions had also disappeared, so there was no need to fight and kill like in the movie.

Moreover, Peter Parker was the key to the success of the cross-species genetics project. From this point alone, tricking him into joining had only benefits and no downsides.

"Ding!"

The floor arrived.

"Gwen, go find Dr. Connors and have him come to the office," Su Quan said with a smile.

"Okay."

Gwen Stacy nodded and went to find him.

Su Quan took the curious and nervous Peter Parker directly to the office.

Not long after, Gwen Stacy brought Dr. Curt Connors into the office.

"Is there something you need me for?" Dr. Curt Connors asked nervously.

Su Quan shook his head with a smile and pointed at Peter Parker: "It’s not me looking for you, it’s him."

"Hello, Dr. Connors, I am Peter Parker. Richard Parker is my father," Peter Parker extended his hand.

Dr. Curt Connors’ expression changed slightly as he shook his hand, and he looked at Su Quan with some confusion.

Su Quan thought for a moment and decided to flip the table and show his cards. Guessing back and forth was a waste of time and only made things worse.

The core conflict point between Peter Parker—or rather, Peter Parker’s parents—and the Osborn family was this project, but with Su Quan’s acceptance and Norman Osborn’s recovery, this project was no longer so crucial.

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.

Speaking of which, setting aside the 'protagonist halo', Su Quan felt that Peter Parker’s father, Richard Parker, did things very unethically...

He was originally a researcher at Osborn Corp, studying genetic engineering for cross-species genetics with Dr. Curt Connors. Osborn Corp paid him a salary and provided him with research funding.

And him? What did he do?

After the project succeeded, he worried that Osborn Corp would abuse this research and use it for illegal activities, so he ran away with the research results.

What is this?

I pay you a salary and provide you with funding, but after success, you claim the results as your own and run away?

Are we not even following the most basic rule that whoever invests gets the profit?

Yes, this project was developed by you and researched successfully by you, but you weren't working for free, were you?

Besides, without Osborn Corp’s funding, could you have succeeded?

Let’s not even talk about that. The most ridiculous thing is the point about worrying that Osborn Corp would abuse the research results.

Please, didn't you know that when you were researching?

If you were really that righteous, why didn't you refuse to research this project?

Why did you start worrying about this only after the research was successful?

What’s even more disgusting is that running away with the research success is one thing, but you also mixed your own genes into the bred spiders, so that only he and his descendants would mutate if bitten.

You tell me his various behaviors were out of justice and worry?

I can only say: *Heh*.

Back to the point, Su Quan smiled at the confused Dr. Curt Connors and said briefly: "You are his father’s colleague and good friend. He came to find you mainly to understand his father’s affairs."

"To be precise, the project his father researched."

As he spoke, Su Quan looked at the surprised Peter Parker and stated directly: "There is an experimental file in the briefcase your father left behind, which contains the formula for the decay rate algorithm he cracked."

"Decay rate algorithm?!"

Dr. Curt Connors’ eyes lit up instantly. He remembered Su Quan saying that the core problem of this experiment was the decay rate algorithm, and without solving this, the experiment would never have a chance of success.

And then, in less than half a day, he brought Richard Parker’s son to him and said Richard Parker left him the successfully cracked decay rate algorithm formula?

This—happiness came too suddenly!
