The Discovered Black Shadow
"Harry, what's wrong? Did something happen to Uncle?" Mary Jane, who was having dinner with Harry Osborn Harry Osborn, looked at him with concern and asked.
Although Harry Osborn hadn't been in good shape before today, he was in even worse shape today, which made Mary Jane quite worried.
"No, not at all. My father has already contacted me and I'll be back at the company soon. However, he's preparing to retire, and he wants me to take over the company's affairs as soon as possible..." Harry Osborn slowly shook his head and sighed softly.
"Wow, that's great news! Now I can tell everyone that my best friend is the chairman of the Osborn Group!" Peter Parker teased Harry Osborn with a smile. "Besides, your uncle is indeed getting on in years and it's time for him to retire. You're the only son in your family, so you really need to shoulder this responsibility!"
"Yes..." Harry Osborn sighed silently to himself. He knew Peter Parker was right. Even if Norman Osborn Norman Osborn were in good health, let alone in his current condition, he should still try to get involved in matters related to the Osborn Group.
However, Harry Osborn's own physical condition was rather poor. Knowing about Norman Osborn's situation, Harry Osborn hadn't told him that his body seemed to be getting weaker...
"The Serum... Spider-Man..." Harry Osborn Harry Osborn's thoughts drifted again. He desperately wanted to confide in someone, but sadly discovered that he couldn't tell anyone and had to keep it buried in his heart.
Unbeknownst to Harry Osborn, the Spider-Man he was thinking about was sitting right next to him, watching him with concern...
Meanwhile, after recovering somewhat from his injuries, Norman Osborn also chose to return to the Osborn Group, since it seemed that he had not found a way to capture or even kill Norman Osborn Peter Parker in the short term.
Forcing Peter Parker out wasn't difficult, but the problem was how to defeat Peter Parker. Norman Osborn couldn't think of any effective methods in the short term.
After all, after a brief encounter with Peter Parker, Norman Osborn had learned that firearms like bullets were ineffective against Peter Parker Peter Parker, and even energy weapons, when their energy levels were low, could not harm him!
To defeat Peter Parker, Norman Osborn needs to acquire greater power, create greater energy, or obtain more information about Peter Parker to find Peter Parker weaknesses and thus threaten him...
However, Norman Osborn had to put these matters aside for the time being, as Norman Osborn still needed to deal with the Osborn Group's affairs. After all, the Osborn Group's stock price had fallen considerably, and it would take time to fully recover.
Especially because of what has happened recently, many senior executives of the Osborn Group are dissatisfied with Norman Osborn. If Norman Osborn did not hold the dominant position and a large number of shares in the Osborn Group, these people might have been able to force Norman Osborn to step down from his current position.
Even so, in the eyes of the senior executives of the Osborn Group, Norman Osborn still needs to give an explanation for this sharp drop in stock price!
"Norman! What have you been doing all this time? Did you kill Scott?" When Norman Osborn returned for the meeting, the group's senior management launched the first attack, questioning Norman Osborn directly.
Scott was the scientist who had been killed by Norman Osborn, but the group's top brass did not have any evidence. However, this did not stop them from smearing Norman Osborn Norman Osborn suppressing his arrogance!
"If it were just killing one person, do you think I would have needed to leave for so long? It's just a human life, how much is it worth?" Norman Osborn sneered at the group's executives, speaking disdainfully. Even if Norman Osborn had indeed killed Scott, he would never admit it in front of these executives.
After all, he might disdain the loss of a life, but if he really confessed to the murder and it was filmed and spread, it would be a blow to Norman Osborn as well, and might even become an opportunity for these group executives to completely bring him down!
Therefore, Norman Osborn could not admit it, but he was not prepared to back down to these group executives. After all, in Norman Osborn's mind, the Osborn Group Osborn Group always belonged to him, and these guys were nothing more than dogs eating leftovers on the sidelines!
"You say you didn't kill him, so you didn't kill him? What have you been doing all this time? Do you know how much money the entire group has lost because of Scott's death and your mysterious disappearance? How much money has each and every one of us lost?!" Seeing that the first move had failed to suppress Norman Osborn, the group's top management launched another attack, determined to tear a piece of flesh from Norman Osborn.
"So, isn't all the money on you earned by me? The Osborn Group's stock price plummeted because of my disappearance, doesn't that prove that the group can't do without me? Now that I'm back, I'm announcing some things. From now on, this group will be gradually handed over to my son to manage. Who agrees? Who disagrees?" Seeing the indignant looks on the faces of the group's senior executives, Norman Osborn's violent nature gradually surged. He suppressed his barely controllable anger and looked around at everyone, asking in a deep voice.
"Heh, Norman, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? Let me tell you, I object..." After seeing Norman Osborn's gaze, most of the group's senior executives felt a surge of fear for some reason. They lowered their heads, avoiding Norman Osborn's gaze, but some still couldn't help but shout loudly at Norman Osborn.
With a loud "smack!", Norman Osborn slammed his hand on the conference table, causing the table, which was several meters long, to collapse on the spot. Many people who were holding onto the table stumbled and fell to the ground, but they didn't have time to react. They all looked at Norman Osborn in fear, not understanding why Norman Osborn's strength had become so terrifying.
While Norman Osborn didn't have the same level of control over his own company as Tony Stark, there were many things that only Norman Osborn knew, such as the research on those Serum.
To put it bluntly, the so-called senior executives present were nothing more than a bunch of people who wanted to split the profits. All the company's decisions and overall direction had been controlled by Norman Osborn. These executives just had to wait to make money. It was only because they lost money this time that they stepped forward to try and threaten Norman Osborn.
But now, as Norman Osborn displayed superhuman strength, fear crept into the hearts of these high-ranking officials. Even though they still harbored resentment, they dared not voice it. They realized that Norman Osborn, with his bloodshot eyes, was acting strangely. They worried that if they attacked Norman Osborn Norman Osborn again, they might be slapped away, or even killed on the spot...
Even knowing that the consequences of Norman Osborn killing them would be difficult to resolve, everyone present valued their lives. They were willing to sacrifice others, but no one was willing to sacrifice themselves and drag Norman Osborn down with them!
Therefore, after the conference table collapsed, the entire conference room fell into a silent silence, with only Norman Osborn's heavy breathing echoing through the room. Each breath sent shivers down the spines of the group's senior executives...
"Alright, just do as I said. Once Harry takes over my position, everything will return to normal. You'll all get your share of the money you're owed. But if anyone dares to cause trouble behind my back, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Norman Osborn spent a lot of effort to calm himself down and didn't start a massacre on the spot because he needed to leave Harry Osborn with a group that would be easier to take over, not a mess.
Upon hearing Norman Osborn's words, the surrounding executives exchanged glances, Central City somewhat reluctant. However, none of them wanted to be the first to step forward, as it would be easy for them to gain nothing and instead make money for others. They were all Greed capitalists and lacked the spirit of self-sacrifice.
Therefore, after a meeting, Norman Osborn successfully got the Osborn Group back on track, and also began to bring Harry Osborn into the Osborn Group Osborn Group to familiarize him with its various affairs.
As for Norman Osborn himself, he focused on exploring all the information about Spider-Man and researching how to create weapons with powerful energy attacks, just like Tony Stark...
While Norman Osborn was working hard, Peter Parker breathed a sigh of relief. Although Harry Osborn still seemed somewhat sullen and tired after Norman Osborn's return, Peter Parker no longer needed to search for Norman Osborn's whereabouts.
As for Harry Osborn's current state, Peter Parker thinks it might be due to too much pressure. After all, it's normal to feel pressure after inheriting such a large corporation, and Harry Osborn needs to resolve these issues on his own.
If Peter Parker were truly an ordinary person, perhaps he could help infiltrate Osborn Group and handle some matters. Unfortunately, Peter Parker is from the extraordinary world. While he would indeed seek an ordinary job to conceal his identity, that time is not yet ripe. Furthermore, working for Osborn Group for an extended period might arouse suspicion from Harry Osborn...
"Huh? What's that?" That day, as Peter Parker was patrolling the streets as usual, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. He seemed to vaguely see a dark shadow flash by, and then a person fell down.
With a "whoosh!" Peter Parker rushed over, picked up the unconscious person, and placed him by the roadside. He carefully observed the person and found that he was still breathing, and very steadily. It didn't seem like he had fainted; it was more like he was asleep.
"What's going on? He fell asleep right there in the street? How tired must he be?" A look of confusion flashed in Peter Parker's eyes, and he muttered to himself in disbelief. He usually attended classes every day, and apart from class time, he was always helping the citizens of New York as Spider-Man. He only got to rest for a while late at night, but even so, Peter Parker had never fallen asleep in the street.
Of course, Peter Parker's physique is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary person, but Peter Parker also noticed that this seemingly sleeping guy did not show any signs of fatigue on his face.
"Hey! Wake up, bro..." Peter Parker tried to wake the sleeping guy, but after calling out to him, there was no response at all, which made Peter Parker frown.
Peter Parker's actions with the unconscious man attracted the attention of many people around him. Fortunately, Peter Parker has a good reputation now, and no one questioned Peter Parker. Some even suggested that Peter Parker take the man to the hospital for a checkup.
"That's right, we'll know once we get checked out." Peter Parker nodded knowingly, picked up the unconscious person, and swung towards the hospital. However, just as Peter Parker left, another dark shadow flashed by, and another person fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground. However, Peter Parker did not see it this time.
Yes, these two unconscious people were not caused by anyone else, but by Hak foo, who had been hoarding grain and delaying his demise for so long, and was finally unable to resist!
There was no other way. Hak foo hadn't reached the point where he could ignore Clark and Robet, or felt he could defeat them. It was just that those hidden bases in the shadows really had no chance of swallowing the shadows.
After the previous successes, those organizations will be on guard and have prepared corresponding methods, which are enough to kill the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers and bring the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers that Hak foo has painstakingly trained back to square one.
Therefore, Hak foo could only slow down his attacks on those bases and ultimately tried to disperse the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers to devour the shadows of ordinary people, but not in groups. He would devour one or two in each place so as not to attract too much attention.
This can be considered Hak foo's way of stockpiling food. Hak foo thinks that even if Clark and Robet are incredibly powerful, they probably can't keep track of all these places on Earth all the time.
Besides, even if Clark and Robet noticed someone had fainted, they wouldn't necessarily suspect him. These days, it's not uncommon for people to die or faint in the street.
However, Hak foo never expected that his group of Shadow-Devouring Soldiers would be discovered by Peter Parker so soon after they began their operation. It just goes to show how frequently Peter Parker was patrolling the streets...
