He'll remove the mark once I deliver it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury leaned back in his chair. He had dealt with gods, super-soldiers, and aliens. But Vincent Hall was different. He was a wild card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't like being outplayed,\" Fury muttered. \"But we have no choice. The Ice Demon's power is... absolute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the frozen corpses in Hell's Kitchen. The sheer scale of Vincent's power made standard containment protocols useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talos, deliver the files,\" Fury ordered. \"Then stay away from him. Tell all Skrull agents: Vincent Hall is a no-go zone. His senses are too sharp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Nick,\" Talos said, relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury stared at the file on his desk: Oscorp Industries - Shareholder Blackmail Material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was terrifyingly easy to compile. Oscorp was dirty. Every shareholder had skeletons—bribes, affairs, illegal experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is he planning?\" Fury wondered. \"A corporate empire? Or something worse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent's Apartment. Morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent woke up next to a very exhausted Gwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Round four was a bit much,\" she mumbled into the pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You started it,\" Vincent grinned, kissing her forehead. \"Rest. I have business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went downstairs. Talos was waiting outside, looking nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here,\" Talos handed over a thick dossier. \"From Nick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent scanned the files. It was gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good work,\" Vincent said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand. A small droplet of water extracted itself from Talos's neck and evaporated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mark is gone. Now, get out of my sight. And tell your people: Stay in your lane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talos nodded frantically and practically ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent sat at his desk, analyzing the Oscorp data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total Market Cap: $18 Billion (down from $200B due to Norman's death and scandals).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target Acquisition Cost: $8-9 Billion for controlling interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Potential Savings via Blackmail: $2 Billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oscorp was a steal. It had the best bio-labs in the world. It was the birthplace of the Lizard, Goblin, and future villains like Electro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need a CEO,\" Vincent mused. \"I don't want to run the day-to-day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pepper Potts was taken. Jessica Jones was a mess. Gwen was too young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought crossed his mind again. Raven Darkholme was brilliant, adaptable, and ruthless. She could play the role of a CEO perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But first, I need the shares.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the file on Arthur Connelly, the second-largest shareholder (18%).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connelly was the man who pushed Norman out. He was ambitious, greedy, and currently plotting to oust Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's pay Mr. Connelly a visit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connelly Estate. Near Central Park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur Connelly was returning from his morning jog, flanked by two bodyguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt good. With Norman dead, Oscorp was his for the taking. Harry was just a puppet he would soon cut strings on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he arrived at his gate, he saw a young man in a hoodie standing there. His gate guards were unconscious on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Connelly,\" Vincent smiled brightly. \"I've been waiting twenty minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is private property,\" a bodyguard drew his gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax,\" Vincent walked past the gun like it didn't exist. \"I'm here to talk business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connelly signaled his head of security, Lucian, a deadly marksman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him in,\" Connelly said coldly. \"If he tries anything, kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coffee?\" Connelly offered, playing the gracious host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black, please,\" Vincent sat on the sofa, comfortable as a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Breaking into my home is a dangerous way to do business, young man,\" Connelly said, placing the cup down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting an appointment with you is hard,\" Vincent shrugged. \"I prefer shortcuts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed the dossier onto the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connelly opened it. His eyes widened. Then narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was everything. The offshore accounts. The illegal arms deals. The mistresses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn't have brought this here,\" Connelly closed the file. \"Now I have to kill you. You realize that, right? This is America. Trespassers get shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian's hand moved to his holster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Vincent stirred his coffee. \"This coffee is excellent, by the way. Shame it's your last cup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill him,\" Connelly ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucian fired. A clean headshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bullet didn't hit flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hit a wall of ice that materialized inches from Vincent's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet froze in mid-air, then shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent stood up. The room temperature dropped to sub-zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think a gun protects you?\" Vincent's eyes glowed white. \"Mr. Connelly, I am the one who knocks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Get The FULL NOVEL at Once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get 40% OFF for limited time only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>@patreon.com\u002FAuthorizz\u002Fshop\u003C\u002Fp>",756,"2026-06-06T16:16:52.860Z",1,"novelbin.me","33d059be1352816467ae61796b713f1a253e62af2db943198f458de810f1efba","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-60","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-58",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-cover.jpg"]
