Black Cat

"Blood God, I won't let you get away with this!"

Norman Osborn glared viciously at Wang Bert. If looks could kill, Wang Bert would have been riddled with holes already!

"Funny, I won't let you get away with this either!"

Wang Bert smiled faintly. He withdrew his fingers, then dripped several drops of blood onto Norman's face. The blood immediately seeped in! Norman was shocked and shouted, "What did you do?"

"Just a little means of control!"

Wang Bert said, "Norman, you have two choices. One, I kill you right now, then expose your identity to the public and have the Osborn Family despised by everyone!"

Naturally, Norman did not want that. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the other one?"

"The other one is to go back and play your part as a patient, then sell all your shares to me!"

Wang Bert said, "That way, I can give you a dignified death. No one will know that you were the Green Goblin!"

Norman shouted angrily, "What's the difference from before? I still have to die!"

"Of course you have to die. How could I rest easy if you didn't?"

Wang Bert said, "But if you choose the second option, the Osborn Family won't be despised by the world, and your son won't become a criminal's descendant! Besides, I can promise to cure your son's illness!"

Norman yelled, "You think I'd believe you? Once you swallow up my shares, you'll definitely kill Harry!"

"Don't think I'm as filthy as you!"

Wang Bert sneered. "Besides, Norman, do you think you still have a choice? Other than trusting me, what else can you do?"

With that, Wang Bert released his grip and threw Norman to the ground. Norman was overjoyed and was just about to control the Glider to come in and counterattack when he discovered that he could not move at all. He instantly fell into despair!

Just moments later, Norman shouted, "I agree! But I want Peggy Carter to be the witness and guarantor."

"Fine!"

Wang Bert said. He had expected Norman's compromise long ago, because only this way would Norman have time to scheme and even strike back! Surrender? What a joke. How could the Green Goblin surrender so easily?

At that moment, Mercury jumped in from outside and reported, "Blood God, all eight Enhanced Humans have been captured. None of the guards were injured!"

Wang Bert was surprised. "All captured? I didn't tell you to hold back, did I?"

Mercury said, "We didn't hold back, but as soon as we knocked them down, they surrendered. The guards are all pretty frustrated!"

Wang Bert was speechless. He sneered at Norman. "Norman, your Enhanced Humans are pathetically weak!"

Norman cursed furiously, "Useless homeless trash!"

Thinking of something, Wang Bert asked Norman, "Did they know your identity?"

"Of course not. They were just useless cannon fodder!"

"Then that makes things easy. Mercury, I'll send Norman back to his home. You and the guards take the Enhanced Humans back to Osborn Tower. I have plans for them!"

"Yes, Blood God!"

Mercury nodded. Wang Bert put the Green Goblin helmet back onto Norman, then knocked him out with one punch.

Wang Bert then carried the Green Goblin outside. Max and Natasha had already returned. Looking at the Green Goblin in Wang Bert's hand, Max said admiringly, "Mr. Wang, you're incredible! The Green Goblin was no match for you at all!"

"Of course!"

Wang Bert smiled and said, "Max, if you really plan to become a Super Hero, today was only a small scene. Think it over carefully!"

"This was only a small scene?"

Max could not help swallowing. For a nobody like him, this was a little too exciting! "Think it over properly. Oh, and once your examination is done, I'll have Trish arrange an interview segment for you."

Wang Bert said, "People are afraid because of the unknown. Once they understand you, they won't be afraid of you anymore. Besides, I can have Trish run a poll to see whether everyone supports you becoming a Super Hero!"

Max was deeply grateful. "Thank you, Mr. Wang!"

He looks ready to offer himself up in gratitude, Natasha grumbled inwardly. She asked, "Blood God, is the Green Goblin dead?"

"There will be no more Green Goblin in the future!"

Wang Bert smiled. "Let's go back. The Osborn Corporation is mine now!"

"Congratulations, Blood God!"

Mercury and the guards all spoke in unison. Wang Bert laughed heartily. So what if it was a major corporation? It was still his for the taking!

Max admired him even more. Even Natasha's expression changed slightly. She had to admit that this Blood God was indeed very charismatic, even if he was a bastard!...

As Norman Osborn announced that he was selling his shares to Wang Bert, everyone knew that the Osborn Corporation had changed hands!

Wang Bert did not stand on ceremony and directly took over the chairman's office. At that moment, he was interrogating the female assistant who had tried to steal the data earlier!

Wang Bert looked with great interest at the assistant, whose face and figure were both top-notch, and asked, "Felicia Hardy? You say Kingpin sent you?"

"Yes. Kingpin has an authentic Picasso. He used it to make me steal the Human Enhancement Potion data!"

Felicia answered very frankly. She did not want Mercury to torture her again. That woman was unbelievably strong; Felicia felt like her jaw had been shattered! "Kingpin has some nerve. He knew I was taking over the Osborn Corporation, yet he still didn't tell you to stop?"

Wang Bert snorted coldly. Mercury said from the side, "Blood God, do you need me to deal with Kingpin?"

"Not for now!"

Wang Bert thought for a moment and shook his head. He asked Felicia, "Felicia, do you like artwork very much?"

Felicia said with an enraptured expression, "Yes. Artwork is the most beautiful treasure in this world!"

"Then come work for me. We Vampires have plenty of artwork. I even have several warehouses full of it at home!"

"Can artwork be measured in warehouses?"

Felicia was speechless, then her eyes lit up. Vampires must have a lot of artwork, considering how long they had lived! "Blood God!"

Seeing Wang Bert take an interest in Felicia, Mercury grew a little anxious. Wang Bert waved his hand and said, "She'll be my secretary, not my assistant! Recommend a few new assistants for me. I'll choose slowly."

Mercury relaxed upon hearing that. "Blood God, this woman can't be trusted!"

"It's fine. I'll make her trustworthy!"

Wang Bert smiled. The reason he had chosen Felicia was because he had remembered who she was!

She was Harry's secretary in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Wang Bert had once looked into her background and discovered that she was actually the antihero Black Cat, with plenty of romantic entanglements with Spider-Man!

As for why he had looked into her background? Obviously, because she was beautiful! This was a world of heroes. Since he had come across her, he could not let her slip away!

Mercury did not say anything more. Felicia shot her a smug look and nodded. "If you let me admire and play with that artwork, I'm willing to be your secretary!"

Then I'll find an opportunity to steal every last piece of it, Felicia added silently in her heart.

"Not so fast. If you want to be my secretary, you still have a test to pass!"

Wang Bert gestured for Mercury to bring over a cup of coffee. Then he dripped his own blood into it and said, "Drink it. That way, after you die, you'll become a Vampire. If I need you to, you'll become a Vampire too!"

Felicia's expression changed slightly. She forced a smile and asked, "Can I not drink it?"

"Mercury, deal with this little thief who stole from us!"

Wang Bert said. Mercury immediately drew her blade. Without another word, Felicia stepped forward, picked up the coffee, and gulped it down. She drank too quickly and choked, coughing repeatedly! Vampires really are no good! Felicia thought resentfully.

After Felicia finished the coffee, Wang Bert said, "All right, now I'll tell you what your test is!"

Felicia set down the cup, wiped her mouth, and asked in astonishment, "Wasn't that just now the test?"

"That was a benefit!"

Wang Bert said, "Didn't Kingpin promise to give you an authentic Picasso? Go steal it back!"

"Steal something from Kingpin?"

Felicia was stunned. How was that any different from courting death? Wang Bert said coldly, "You have three days! And don't think about leaving and never coming back. I can find you easily!"

"I'll complete it!"

Felicia gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, then turned and left in her high heels.

Mercury asked, "Blood God, do you want to teach Kingpin a lesson?"

"It's a warning. If he knows what's good for him, I'll let bygones be bygones. If he doesn't, the underground world will need a new emperor!"

Wang Bert said, "At the same time, this cuts off Felicia's escape route. Once she offends Kingpin, she'll definitely die without my protection!"

"Blood God is wise!"

"Do you even need to say it?"

Wang Bert smiled. "Mercury, the Osborn Corporation is very important to us. Put more effort into it."

"I will."

Mercury nodded excitedly. The Purebloods had finally earned the Blood God's trust. With the Osborn Corporation in their hands, the Purebloods would have the capital to contend against Carter of the Blood God Group!

At that moment, Natasha knocked and entered. She said, "Blood God, Director George Stacy of the New York Police Department is here to see you."

"Perfect, I was just looking for him. Send him up!"

Soon, Chief George entered the office. He shook hands with Wang Bert and got straight to the point. "Mr. Wang, I hope you can hand over the Electro you took away yesterday. Also, regarding the Green Goblin, I hope to learn more!"

"Electro is a pitiful man. Stop bullying him, Chief George!"

Wang Bert rose and walked over to the bar, taking out a bottle of red wine. "Would you like some?"

"No, thank you!"

Chief George said, "Mr. Wang, that Electro is very dangerous! Besides, this is the police department's responsibility!"

"He isn't dangerous. Trish Talk will explain everything about him in detail in a few days. Be sure to watch it then!"

Wang Bert poured himself a glass of wine, then had Mercury place a box before Chief George. "As for the Green Goblin, I've already dealt with him. He won't appear again!"

"You've already dealt with him?"

Chief George was stunned. He opened the box and saw the Green Goblin's helmet inside! Chief George said delightedly, "Mr. Wang, I hope you can hand the Green Goblin over to me. He has killed at least twenty people!"

"He won't appear again in the future!"

Wang Bert shook his head. "Chief George, I want to discuss a deal with you!"

"What deal?"

Chief George sighed inwardly. If Wang Bert had been an ordinary person, he would have forced him to hand over the Green Goblin and Electro long ago. But this young man was not only a Vampire, he was also one of the richest people in the country. Chief George could not touch him at all! Everyone knew that in America, money could do whatever it wanted!

"The Green Goblin carried out Illegal Human Experimentation some time ago and created eight successful Enhanced Humans!"

Wang Bert said, "I can hand them over to you and consider this matter settled!"

"Eight Enhanced Humans?"

Chief George was shocked. He could not help asking, "What kind of Enhanced Humans?"

"Their physical abilities are only one tier below Captain America's, though they came from homeless backgrounds and have poor character!"

"Only one tier below Captain America?"

Chief George's eyes lit up. Because of Iron Monger and the Green Goblin, citizens had lost a great deal of trust in the police. If they could obtain these eight Enhanced Humans, they could definitely restore public confidence in the department! Moreover, with eight Enhanced Humans under their command, the police department would no longer be completely powerless when facing incidents like the Green Goblin in the future!

"What are your conditions?"

"You know about my Blood Clan Police Department, right?"

"I do!"

Chief George nodded first, then said, "S.H.I.E.L.D. has no authority to issue you a license!"

"That's why I want you to issue one!"

Wang Bert walked over with two glasses of red wine and said, "I hope your New York Police Department can formally recognize the Blood Clan Police Department. We can share resources and work together to protect the interests of humans and the Blood Clan."

"This..."

Chief George hesitated. "I can't make that decision!"

"You only need to agree. I'll handle the city government! Besides, I'll donate a batch of bulletproof police cars and other equipment to your department, worth a total of ten million dollars."

Thinking of the eight Enhanced Humans, Chief George nodded. "All right, I agree! By the way, does your company sell those Gliders?"

"We do, but you probably can't afford them! Besides, those are military-grade equipment!"

Wang Bert laughed. The Green Goblin's Glider was worth tens of millions of dollars. It was not something ordinary people could afford to play with! The rich relied on technology; only the rich could afford technology.

Chief George was a little embarrassed. Wang Bert handed him a glass and said, "Here's to a pleasant cooperation!"

This time, Chief George did not refuse. He clinked glasses with Wang Bert!

After drinking, Chief George hesitated. His daughter Gwen Stacy was interning at Osborn Corporation. He had come today partly to resign on his daughter's behalf, but under the current circumstances, he was too embarrassed to bring it up.

After all, Wang Bert had just given the police department ten million dollars and eight Enhanced Humans.

"Chief George!"

Wang Bert saw through Chief George's thoughts and smiled. "This is a legitimate company. Whatever the matter is, just follow the normal procedures!"

"I understand!"

Chief George shook hands with Wang Bert and took his leave. As for the eight Enhanced Humans, once they had been examined and confirmed to be fine, they would be sent to the New York Police Department!

After Chief George left, Mercury asked, "Blood God, weren't you a little too polite to him?"

"He's a rare good cop. It's only right to be polite!"

Wang Bert did not care. He asked Mercury, "How is things on Norman's end?"
