Do You Need to Agree?

Inside a truck, Shen Fei looked at Jessica, whose hands and feet were bound by Magnetic Handcuffs. Even the connecting joints of those cuffs were made of Vibranium.

He had spent a fortune having them made.

They were specifically designed to capture powerful heroes like Jessica.

Shen Fei took out a Vibranium restraint belt from his coat. He had prepared it long ago.

Before coming here, he had already prepared two plans. He had suspected that Jessica had noticed something was off.

Still, he had not expected Jessica's methods to be more sophisticated than he had imagined.

Jessica also possessed the relatively rare trait of a "detective."

She had some brains, after all.

But against a prepared Shen Fei, this was all she amounted to.

"If you're awake, just open your eyes. I didn't expect your drug resistance to be so strong." Shen Fei smiled at Jessica, who was lying there pretending to sleep.

"Liar!"

Jessica opened her eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"I had no choice. This was the only way I could get close to you. You did have plenty of ideas, and you even found evidence that I had ulterior motives, but that was all.

The moment you agreed to have dinner with me yesterday, your fate was already sealed."

"You really never liked me? Everything you did was just to reach this outcome?"

Jessica struggled with all her strength, only to find that she could not break free from the cuffs at all. There was a trace of sorrow in her voice.

"Would you develop feelings for a White Mouse you were about to experiment on?

Every one of my motives was for the sake of achieving my goal."

Shen Fei's voice was cold. Once he set a goal, he would carry it through.

Romance was utterly useless to him. Heaven had given him such abilities; using them to date would be absurd.

"You!"

"We're here."

Shen Fei interrupted Jessica. The moving truck came to a stop.

The truck doors were opened.

Jessica was pushed away under Shen Fei's hateful gaze, while Shen Fei headed to the top floor of Osborn Tower. The remaining shareholders who had been summoned had long since gathered there.

After all, most of the shares had been divided among three parties.

When Shen Fei arrived, he spotted a familiar face.

Hill?

Was this woman S.H.I.E.L.D.'s representative?

Shen Fei announced his decision. "Connors will be the head of the research department from now on. I must review all of Osborn's future research."

"Wait. I object. I should also be allowed to review the company's research."

Hill raised her hand and spoke.

"You are not qualified. If you held more than 34% of the shares, company regulations would require us to provide you with a copy, but you hold less than 20%.

Motion denied."

Shen Fei shook his head and refused.

Hill narrowed her eyes. "Since when did the company have such a rule?"

"It was approved earlier today."

Shen Fei smiled at Hill, then said, "Meeting adjourned."

"You! When was this rule approved? You never obtained our consent!"

Hill took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling.

She gritted her teeth. They had originally been able to obtain Norman's shares, but for some reason, Norman had suddenly vanished. Otherwise, with their methods,

Norman would have obediently handed over all his shares.

But now they could not even find him. How could he give them anything?

"What are you thinking? Do you own one-third of the shares? This kind of rule does not involve corporate asset restructuring or liquidation. Do we need your consent?"

Shen Fei said with a smile.

Just then, a young man rushed in and growled at Shen Fei, "I object!"

Shen Fei turned to look. The young man had thinning hair and pale skin.

"Harry?"

"I object to your rule." Harry stood beside Hill and glared angrily at Shen Fei.

"What right do you have to object?"

Shen Fei glanced at him. So they had gotten in touch with Harry, but Harry did not hold a single share.

"Norman is my father. Before my father returns, I can make this decision."

"Do you think this is children playing house?

Before your father has explicitly stated that he wants to transfer his shares to you,

what right do you have to make that decision?

Besides, your father is missing, not dead."

Shen Fei said flatly.

"You kidnapped my father!"

"You can eat things carelessly, but you cannot speak carelessly. This is a democratic country. You need evidence, otherwise,

I'll sue you for slander and infringement of private property rights!"

Shen Fei waved a hand. "I'm done talking to you. You're wasting my time. If you really refuse to accept it, go sue me. I have plenty of time to fight you."

After saying that, he ignored Hill and Harry's expressions and turned to leave with Connors.

On the way to the laboratory, Shen Fei asked, "Has the Green Goblin Reversal Serum shown any results?"

"We found a few issues, but they haven't been resolved yet."

"Send the issues to me. We need Norman. Also, how are the results for Phoenix 2?"

"We're preparing for human trials."

"Good."

Shen Fei nodded.

"Put those experimental materials in the most secure location and have Klaw guard them carefully. They are our precious assets."

"Understood."

Connors asked quietly, "Boss, do you want to see the Extraordinary Spider?"

"Let's take a look. I can also see whether Richard left anything behind."

Connors led Shen Fei to a laboratory. It was arranged like a wilderness jungle, with low shrubs all around. Colorful spiders drifted among the branches.

"After Richard disappeared, I took care of these spiders. But I never put much thought into them. I just had people release insects in here from time to time."

Thinking of Peter's terrifying combat strength, Connors realized that if Shen Fei had not told him, he would never have known that Peter's abilities had come from these spiders.

Shen Fei looked at the spiders. "Have someone tidy this place up. Once the Phoenix 2 serum is finished, our next target will be the Spider Serum.

Also, bring me the materials Richard left behind."

"Yes."

Shen Fei could not guarantee that he would be able to become Spider-Man.

But these spiders definitely had research value. Besides, he remembered that Richard had directly used Peter's genes as a basis for his research.

He could learn that method as well.

It might help Shen Fei master a new method of producing serums.

Then he could create massive armies of lizards, Green Goblins, and even Hulks!

And he did not need Spider-Man's other abilities, but he absolutely needed Spider-Sense.

It was one component of his superhuman reactions.

Since Richard and Connors had once been colleagues,

the starting point of their research methods had definitely been the same. Their paths had merely diverged.

At their roots, the Lizard Serum and Spider Serum came from the same source. Richard was simply more talented and had found the balance.

That was why Shen Fei needed to find that method.

Since the Lizard Serum could grant an injector some of a lizard's abilities, he only needed some of a spider's abilities as well.

Although he already had an idea for the Reversal Serum, learning from others was the spirit of scientific research.

"It's time for some enjoyable research again."
