Flame-Flame Fruit upgraded to Tier 2: Peak Awakening.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Next Limit Break: 80 Million Desire Points.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent choked. \"80 Million? Are you serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did the math. One \"conquest\" earned him about 100,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant 800 times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he included his other powers... 2,700 times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even with seven times a night, it would take a year,\" Vincent rubbed his lower back, feeling a phantom ache. \"My kidneys are going to fail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized the System wasn't just a lottery machine; it was a pimp pushing him toward world domination (or harem domination).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe I should just destroy the world,\" Vincent muttered. \"That would farm enough Desire Points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, he needed the world to enjoy his wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current Stats:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealth: 9.6 Billion (Points)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desire Points: 2,000\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abilities: Ice-Ice Fruit (Tier 2 Peak), Flame-Flame Fruit (Tier 2 Peak), Hydro-Kinesis (Master), Dragon Elephant Wisdom (Layer 13).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With Fire and Ice, I have options,\" Vincent mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could retire the \"Ice Demon\" persona for a while. The military was on high alert, and he didn't want to nuke the Eastern Seaboard just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed a new mask. A Fire God mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHIELD Secret Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Quinjet landed. Black Widow (Natasha) and Hawkeye (Clint) disembarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agent Barton, you're dismissed,\" Nick Fury said. \"Natasha, walk with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha's smile faded. \"What did the kid do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General Ross attacked him,\" Fury said grimly. \"And lost. Badly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha winced. She knew Vincent's temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ice Demon froze a third of Central Park. Then he threatened to sink our carrier groups if we didn't back off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Ross?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's terrified. But he's planning something. A Thunderbolts initiative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury stopped walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to go back to Vincent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I already slept with him,\" Natasha sighed. \"Gwen Stacy is his girlfriend. I'm the side piece. It's getting complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't about romance,\" Fury said. \"It's about Oscorp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vincent Hall just bought 30% of Oscorp. He's the second-largest shareholder. And he's moving for a hostile takeover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The kid bought a defense contractor?\" Natasha was impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dr. Connors stole vital gene data before he fled. I need you to infiltrate Oscorp, help Vincent stabilize the company, and find out what Connors took.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, babysitting and corporate espionage?\" Natasha smirked. \"Fine. But if I end up in his bed again, that's on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fury didn't blink. \"Just get the data.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commonwealth Bank HQ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Smith was practically vibrating with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hall, we secured the shares from the institutional investors. 12%. Plus Connelly's 18%. You now control 30%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total cost?\" Vincent asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"$4.14 Billion. Financed via loans against the stock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. What about the other five minority shareholders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They want a premium. 30% above market value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent tossed a file onto the desk. \"Show them this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the blackmail material Fury provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smith returned, grinning like a shark. \"They agreed to sell at 10% below market value. And they apologized for the delay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excellent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With these shares, you now hold 45%. We just need 6% more for absolute control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buy it from the open market,\" Vincent ordered. \"Don't hide it. Let Harry know I'm coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oscorp Tower. CEO Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the f*ck?!\" Harry Osborn smashed his desk lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, Commonwealth Bank just announced a tender offer for 6% of our stock,\" his assistant stammered. \"They already hold 45%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is backing them?!\" Harry screamed. \"Is it Connelly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We believe... yes. Connelly has called for an emergency board meeting to vote on a new Chairman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry fell into his chair. He was losing his father's company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kill them... The Green Goblin voice whispered in his ear. Kill them all and the company stays yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commonwealth Bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Hall, we have acquired the final 6%,\" Smith reported. \"You now own 51% of Oscorp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who was buying against us?\" Vincent asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone was trying to drive up the price. Probably Harry or his allies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter,\" Vincent stood up. \"The King is dead. Long live the King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Connelly is already at Oscorp,\" Smith said. \"He's securing the building with his private security.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Tell him to fire everyone loyal to the Osborns. I want a clean slate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent looked out the window at the New York skyline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now owned the Gene Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next step: Find Connors.
