Chapter 234

This day, Peter was in class at Midtown High School.

However, he wasn't paying attention to the lesson the teacher was giving.

Instead, he was constantly writing and drawing in his notebook.

Peter was designing his own suit.

Osborn Tower

In a laboratory on the ninetieth floor, it was full of people at this moment.

In the lab, there were not only many researchers in white coats.

But also many official personnel in military uniforms.

At this moment, in the air of the lab, someone was stepping on a glider with a streamlined design.

This was the latest product of their lab.

A researcher in a white coat said to a soldier on the side: "We have solved the product of balanced gliding, gravity, and balance." The soldier responded indifferently, "I have seen the glider."

"I didn't come for this matter."

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in.

He greeted the soldier, "General S, it's a pleasure to see you."

Subsequently, he greeted several people in suits nearby, "Mr. Ba, Mr. Fei." "Norman."

"Mr. Osborn."

Several people responded.

"I am very happy that the board of directors could grace us with their presence."

Norman Osborn walked over with a smile.

General S spoke somewhat coldly, "I want to see the report on the Human Enhancement Project." As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the board members changed.

The scientist in the white coat said: "We had a white mouse undergo the vaporization inhalation experiment, and its physical strength increased eightfold." The general asked: "That's great, are there any side effects?"

"There was one time."

On the side, Norman Osborn immediately added, "Just that one time."

"All other experiments were very successful."

The general pursued, "What were the side effects of that one time?"

"Violent tendencies, aggression, and a state of madness."

"What is your suggestion?"

Before the scientist could speak, Norman Osborn responded, "That was just an accident. Except for Dr. Shi, everyone else guarantees that the experiment can proceed."

The general ignored Norman Osborn.

Instead, he looked at Dr. Shi, "Dr. Shi."

Clearly, the general knew.

Who was the person primarily responsible for this project.

Dr. Shi deliberated for a moment and said slowly, "I feel this experiment must start over from the beginning." After all, he was just a scientist.

He still had some conscience.

Unlike capitalists like Norman Osborn.

He would still consider life.

After all, if this experiment passed, it would be used directly on soldiers.

Dr. Shi did not want to cause harm to others because of his research results.

"..."

The general let out a long sigh.

Norman Osborn looked at Dr. Shi angrily, "Start over?"

But before he could erupt, the general suddenly spoke, "Dr. Osborn."

Norman walked over upon hearing this.

"I have always told you."

The general said expressionlessly: "I have never supported your plan."

"That was approved by my predecessor."

At this moment, someone nearby explained, "General S will approve the exploration of the aerospace control company to manufacture humanoid mechs. After all, there is already the successful precedent of Tony Stark."

General S continued, "The test will be in two weeks."

"If your so-called Human Enhancement Project experiment is not successful by then, I will revoke your research funding and give the funding to other companies."

"Goodbye, everyone."

After saying this, General S left directly.

Leaving behind a gloomy-faced Norman Osborn.

"Ding ding ding!"

At this moment, his phone rang.

Norman Osborn picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and was somewhat surprised.

Clearing his throat, Norman put on a smile and answered the phone.

"Hello, should I call you Mr. Karl now, or should I call you Mr. Superman?" "Whatever you like."

"Alright, Mr. Karl."

"Is there anything you need by calling this time?"

"Regarding the experiment you are currently conducting, that Human Enhancement Project. I hope you can stop this plan, or start over."

???

Norman Osborn was stunned and asked in surprise: "How do you know about this plan of ours?" He had known Karl for a few years.

Although the other party was a shareholder, he only took some dividends every year and never managed the company's affairs.

He hadn't told Karl about this experiment, and it hadn't even been made public.

After all, it was a human enhancement experiment, which wasn't very easy to make public.

But how did Karl know?

"I naturally have my channels, listen to me, cancel this plan."

"Or starting over is fine too."

"Impossible!"

Norman refused very decisively, "This plan must succeed within two weeks. Otherwise, we are finished."

"It shouldn't be that bad."

"Didn't you borrow my reputation earlier to make a lot of money in the stock market?"

"And also received some investments?"

"..."

Norman Osborn was silent for a moment.

Previously, because of killing the Abomination, plus Iron Man exposing Karl's identity.

For a time, Superman and Iron Man became the hottest topics of the moment.

The Osborn Group had not been doing well recently.

If they couldn't get official investment, they might just go under.

Well, to be precise.

It was uncertain whether the Osborn Group would go under, but Norman Osborn himself would definitely be finished.

The group's earnings were too terrible, and he might be kicked out by the board of directors directly.

But Norman Osborn wasn't stupid either.

He knew Karl, and their relationship was considered quite good.

At the very least, in terms of partners, it was already considered good.

After all, not everyone was like Tony Stark, who ignored major shareholders; Norman Osborn had been very sycophantic when he saw Karl become a shareholder.

Although Karl didn't pay much attention to him, Karl didn't refuse the benefits Norman Osborn gave either.

Treating him to a meal, sending a few bottles of good wine, etc.

Norman Osborn did this often.

So his relationship with Karl was considered harmonious.

And he also knew Karl's identity.

Some time ago, after the Superman incident was exposed.

Norman Osborn also announced it publicly.

Superman was not only a major shareholder of Stark Industries but also a major shareholder of their Osborn Group.

Because Superman was very popular at the time.

The Osborn Group's stock price rose directly that day.

Later, there were even people investing.

They indeed enjoyed a wave of benefits.

If it weren't for Karl.

Without official investment, Norman Osborn might have been finished already.

But with the rise in stock price and investment, even if he couldn't get the official investment this time.

He could still hold on for a while longer.
