Adrian took off, his head filled with different voices.
Some voices told him to kill a man named Yinsen, some begged for mercy, some told him to stop, and some-
The loudest voice told him to fly higher.
He blasted through the dark room, breaking through the smoke and dust.
The flames fell behind him, the wind roared in his ears, and he flew over the noisy streets, through the heavily polluted air-
Adrian looked at the sun and white clouds, grinning.
At that moment, it was like a dream come true.
But soon, a towering building appeared before him, and his brow furrowed.
"I want a vast sky."
Whoosh!
His wings beat, and he shot straight into the sky!
Norman was dangling in the air, the gale distorting his face.
"Aaaaaah!!!!"
"It's Adrian!"
Otto and Connors blurted out the moment they saw the photo Lier had taken in the call.
Lier pulled up Adrian's information and asked, "Do you know him?"
"Of course," Otto said quickly. "The Shard I used before was designed by him. He's a stingy old miser, and a penniless one, too. Nobody knows what he does with the exorbitant patent and design fees he charges. Conservatively speaking-his assets must be worth several million dollars!"
"Now we all know," Connors said. "That gear looks deadly. What is it, a Personal Flight Device?"
"I don't know, but I'm guessing he might not have good intentions right now. Is that Norman Osborn dangling from his feet?"

"Then he's in for a rough time," Lier said, clicking his tongue. "Adrian's actions are going to kill him, one hundred percent."
"We can't let him kill anyone!" The three members of the laboratory team said in unison over the comms again.
