Recruiting Allies, Spider-Man Comes Knocking

In the laboratory.

"Are you awake, Norman?"

Shen Fei looked at Norman, who was handcuffed to the lab table with Magnetic Handcuffs. Shen Fei had removed his mask long ago.

After this guy's mind was taken over by the Green Goblin, it had stopped working properly. He actually knew Shen Fei was acquiring Osborn.

And he had come knocking in person, risking being killed by the Green Goblin. Did he not think Shen Fei had a way to deal with him?

He kept having the fluids in Norman's body extracted and analyzed for the components of the Green Goblin Serum.

There was something strange about the Green Goblin Serum. Shen Fei felt it was merely a medium, not the actual source of the effect.

Still, it was worth researching.

The Green Goblin's regenerative ability was inhuman, but after Shen Fei treated him like this,

even he began to feel that death was not far away.

Perhaps Shen Fei's rough treatment had finally made Norman's Green Goblin personality hide again, leaving Norman himself to face this demon.

Norman's originally dark green pupils had returned to the normal brown of an ordinary person.

"You're back..."

Shen Fei had his assistant stop extracting Norman's bodily fluids. He had a deal to discuss with Norman.

Most of the shares on the market had now been divided among three parties. If Shen Fei wanted to reach sixty-seven percent control, he would have to spend a huge sum continuing to buy shares.

And even then, he might not obtain absolute control.

But who would have thought Norman would deliver himself to Shen Fei's door? Shen Fei's shares combined with Norman's would be enough to give him control of Osborn.

"Who the hell are you... Connors? Why are you here?"

Norman panted heavily and stared coldly at Shen Fei.

"You can call me Shen Fei. Didn't you already know? I'm currently Osborn's largest shareholder."

Shen Fei spoke as Connors glanced at Norman. Norman was no longer his boss, so there was naturally no need for him to flatter him excessively.

If not for needing Norman's financial support to keep his research going, Connors would not even have bothered helping him develop the Human Enhancement Potion he wanted.

"Let's make a deal."

"You want the shares in my hands? Keep dreaming. The Osborn Company will always belong to Osborn!"

Norman's voice was icy as he rejected him without hesitation.

In his heart, Osborn could only ever belong to Osborn!

"I can help you cure the genetic disease in your body!"

Shen Fei had long understood how to recruit these villains. They all had their own reasons for becoming villains. Norman wanted to cure his genetic disease, while Connors wanted to restore his severed arm...

They had merely acted too hastily, and various factors had left them unable to control the power they had suddenly obtained.

It did not matter. Shen Fei could give them all of that.

"What a joke."

Norman sneered. He considered himself a genius too. Otherwise, how could he have built the Osborn Company from the ground up? After taking the Human Enhancement Serum, he felt his intelligence had risen yet again.

If not, how could he have been so determined to buy back the Osborn Company?

He was confident he could turn Osborn into a company that was in no way inferior to Stark Industries.

Yet he still could not solve the problem within his own body.

And this man dared to claim he could solve it?

"Believe it or not, that's up to you! You can hold out for now. You'll soon see my sincerity! Then you can think it over."

Shen Fei said with a smile. He had always believed in exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

At that moment, Shen Fei suddenly frowned.

"You sure have a lot of tails."

"Connors, let's go up! Your favorite student is here."

Outside the manor, Peter landed in a tree and looked at the heavily guarded estate. In a place like this, with no tall buildings around, his combat ability was relatively weakened.

"Could this be the Green Goblin's secret base?"

He had not expected that a single pursuit would lead him to discover the Green Goblin's secret base.

He planned to wait until nightfall before sneaking in for a look. Just then, his sharp eyes spotted someone familiar.

"Professor Connors?"

Peter saw someone walking around inside the manor and was suddenly confused.

Why was Professor Connors here? He remembered that the Green Goblin's tracker signal had also disappeared here.

Could Professor Connors be the Green Goblin?

He stayed in the tree and watched Connors talking to someone. Unfortunately, he did not understand lip-reading and had no idea what they were saying.

"Your student is certainly cautious. I thought he would come in to check things out."

"Boss, should I lure him away? I can pretend to leave. He'll probably try to run into me on the road."

"Mm. He's still rather difficult to deal with. Mainly because he's currently under certain people's watch."

Shen Fei remembered that around this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. had fallen into chaos because of Hydra and would soon dissolve, lurking in the shadows.

Before long, the Civil War would break out.

Spider-Man joined Iron Man's side. At present, Shen Fei believed it was because of the Hero Act, but he suspected this Civil War would not simply be a few people fighting in an airport as he had imagined.

Because intelligence gathered from Klaw told him that Super Heroes in some places seemed to be opposing it as well.

For example, the Fantastic Four.

This world was now the Marvel movie universe, but the protagonists Shen Fei had known before were only a handful of Avengers. Now, however, this was a real world.

If the United States passed the Hero Act, a law intended to restrict superhumans,

the commotion it caused would probably be enormous.

"I wonder whether Captain America has more supporters, or Iron Man."

Shen Fei muttered.

Peter, still in the tree, suddenly saw Connors leave in a car. He hurriedly jumped down and ran after it, taking off his Spider-Suit as he ran.

He had to find out whether the Green Goblin was really Connors. If it was, he had to find a way to lead Professor Connors back onto the right path!

Because he thought Professor Connors was amazing!

With his speed, he soon overtook the car. He stopped on the road ahead and pretended to wait anxiously by the roadside.

Just then, Connors's car passed by.

Connors saw Peter from inside the car and immediately said, "Stop for a moment."

Is this the power of the Spider Serum? He can run faster than a car!

He had not expected the serum Richard developed back then to be so powerful.

Still, that guy was indeed more of a genius than him. But before the boss, he was nothing more than an ordinary person.

"Peter, why are you here?"

"I came out to look for some experimental materials, but I got lost while walking around. Professor, where are you going?"

"Back to Midtown. Do you want to go back?"

"Thank God. Professor, please give me a ride back to Midtown."

Connors and Peter probed each other cautiously. After Peter got in the car, he began testing Connors repeatedly. Although Peter had the nearly bug-like ability of Spider-Sense,

it could not activate unless danger arose.

So he still did not know whether Connors was truly the Green Goblin.
