Chapter 164: I'm Dying

"If he doesn't defect, you'll be able to repair your arm very quickly and fulfill your life's desire; If he does not defect, you, as his assistant, will be able to share a lot of credit for the success of the cross-species genetic experiment, so that your name of Kurt Connors will resound in the academic world; If he doesn't defect, the rest of your life won't be wasted on cross-species genetic experiments, which will lead to the ruin of your life. ”

Listening to Norman Osborne's very provocative words, Connors couldn't help frowning, considered his tone for a moment, and said, "Mr. Osborne, with all due respect, you have something to say. ”

"Okay Kurt, I'm not going to go around in circles with you." Norman Osborne smiled and said, "I want to congratulate you, now there is an opportunity to surpass Richard Parker in front of you, only one step away, you can complete cross-species genetic experiments, cure AIDS, cancer, motor neuron disease and other terminal diseases that humans cannot overcome for the time being, and realize the technology of regeneration of severed limbs...... For the benefit of humanity as a whole, you are on the verge of becoming the greatest scientist of the 21st century. ”

Connors was not at all surprised that Norman Osborne was familiar with the process of cross-species genetic experiments, after all, the entire Osborne Group had no secrets for Osborne.

Norman Osborne's ability to lead his family's bankrupt family business to what is now the world's largest medical and biotechnology conglomerate is understandably at the helm of the company.

"Mr. Osborne, in fact, the success of cross-species genetic experiments is most due to you." Connors humbly said, "Without your support, how could there be a cross-species genetic experiment!" I believe that the success of cross-species genetic experiments will also bring due rewards to the Osborne Group. ”

Although he said self-effacing words, a look of pride couldn't help but swell up Connors's brow. No one knows better than Connors himself what a successful cross-species genetic experiment will bring.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is not the researcher Cotter Connors, but the holder of all the patents for the cross-species genetic experiment of the Osborne Group.

When Richard Parker and Helbert Connors entered the Osborne Group to study cross-species genetic experiments, they signed an agreement that all the research results of cross-species genes would be owned by the Osborne Group, after all, the Osborne Group invested billions of dollars in research funds.

It's just that the Osborne Group can't let them work in vain, they will get a large amount of Osborne Group options, and the results of the experiment will also give them a profit share, which should not be a small number every year.

So if Connors succeeds in his cross-species genetic experiments, it will no longer be him who will lead the project, but Norman Osborne.

As for the decay rate algorithm contributed by Richard Parker's son Peter Parker, it was what the Osborne Group deserved, and it was the success of the experiment that they spent billions of dollars to research.

"If it weren't for Richard Parker's defection, maybe Kurt would have gotten everything you deserved, instead of sinking for another decade."

Connors didn't understand that Norman Osborne had chosen to keep bringing up these old things, it couldn't have been casually, was he trying to hint at me? What exactly was he trying to say? Is it trying to warn me not to betray him like Richard Parker did?

"When Richard Parker submitted a proposal for a cross-species genetic experiment to me, he was an ordinary researcher within the Osborne Group and had no name, but after I saw the plan, I immediately felt that he was a very talented young man and was willing to give him a chance! The rest of the board members were not optimistic about this ambitious plan, so I pushed it forward against the crowd and personally selected you as an assistant for him to form a cross-species genetic laboratory. Obviously, the experiment has been successful, the Osborne Group can recoup the investment and obtain the returns, you and Richard Parker can get the option award of the Osborne Group, gain great fame, and we can all sit down and share the cake, how wonderful! It's a mutually beneficial thing, isn't it? ”

"But Richard Parker, that bastard!" Norman Osborne suddenly smashed his water cup in anger, and said with a somewhat hideous appearance: "He spent more than $2 billion of my research funds, and suddenly defected when the experiment had already shown results!" Cotter, how much I trusted him in the first place, I risked being kicked out of the Osborne Group to give him absolute trust and help him become famous when he was penniless, but what about him? $2 billion, $2 billion more than 10 years ago! I almost got kicked out of the Osborne Group! Is this how he repays the trust I placed in him? ”

Connors silently, Richard Parker did this thing really inauthentically, he Connors also regarded the cross-species genetic experiment as the only hope to restore his five-fingered bride, and Richard Parker didn't say anything after the experiment was successful, he defected directly, and buried everything, even he Connors also had a lot of grudges against Richard Parker.

If it weren't for Richard Parker's son who gave him the decay rate algorithm, Connors felt afraid that he would still want to drag Richard Parker out of the graveyard and beat him up.

"Good to have you, Kurt." Norman Osborne, who had been furious, shifted his gaze to Connors and became gentle.

Connors didn't think it was because Norman Osborne had a crush on his ass that he treated himself like this Corporal Lixian, he knew what he looked like. Therefore, Norman Osborne suddenly put on such a appearance, just afraid that he had a need for him, and Connors became a little wary.

Connors is not a fool, and a fool cannot become a top master in the field of reptiology.

He figured it out in an instant, including as soon as he came in, he quietly put pressure on himself, constantly mentioning Richard Parker, mentioning the past was also hinting at me something.

"Kurt, I've heard that there has been a major breakthrough in cross-species genetic experiments?" Norman Osborne asked.

Connors mused, "Yes, the experiment has resulted in a mouse regrowing a stump and looks like a crucial step has been taken. ”

"Very well, Kurt, I knew that I, Norman Osborne, would not be wrong, and that you Kurt Connors would be no worse than Richard Parker." Norman Osborne laughed: "Now that we can make a mouse grow a stump, there is only one small step left before a person can grow a stump." I want to congratulate you, you are the greatest scientist in the history of mankind after Newton and Einstein, and I can't wait to see you wear the laurel crown! Kurt, let's conduct human experiments as soon as possible! ”

The room was suddenly silent, the atmosphere was oppressive, and an invisible aura of terror swept through the room, and Connors looked behind Norman Osborne, the darkness like a bloody maw, wanting to swallow him.

Even Norman Osborne's indifferent face became like a devil's face in Connors's eyes.

"Human experiments?" Connors looked at Norman Osborne in disbelief and said, "Mr. Osborne, this is not at all in accordance with the rules, the experiment is still in the preliminary stage of having to be observed in the laboratory......"

"Kurt, I said, it's time for human experiments!" Norman Osborne's eyes suddenly darkened, and he stared straight at Connors.

An oppressive atmosphere hung over Connors, who knew what would happen to those who defied Norman Osborne.

Connors was silent, he finally knew what Norman Osborne's strange actions were today. In order to pursue the speed of experimentation, he actually asked him to experiment on humans with cross-species genetic experiments that only had a preliminary breakthrough. Does he know what that means? This means that at least hundreds of ordinary people will die. This is the result of a very smooth experiment, and if there are some other difficulties in the process, I am afraid that it is not surprising that thousands more people died.

Norman Osborne is crazy, does he know what the consequences will be if this is leaked by the media? Even if the stock price of Osborne Group is cut in half, Connors will not find it strange. As the chairman of the Osborne Group, Norman Osborne will suffer legal liability in addition to monetary losses.

It was Captain Connors, who led the experiment...... Even if you are afraid, you will not escape judgment.

Stared at by Norman Osborne's sharp gaze, Connors's mouth was full of bitterness, and he said slowly, "But Mr. Osborne, this is ...... It's against the law ......"

"No, it's not illegal, it's going to be fair and legal, you just need to do it." Norman Osborne smiled and said, "Kurt, I will address all your worries, and there will be no bad influence on you." Even if the matter is exposed in the future, you will not be held responsible for this matter, someone will carry it for us, I swear in the name of the Osborne family. ”

"But...... This could kill a lot of people......" Connors said with difficulty: "Mr. Osborne, the experiment is progressing faster, give me another month......"

"But Kurt, man, always has to die!" Norman Osborne brutally interrupted Connors's words, cold-blooded and ruthless, "They can at least die worthily." I will give them enough compensation to ensure that their families have a good life for the rest of their lives. ”

Norman Osborne simply didn't believe that Connors could really complete the cross-species genetic experiment in a month with the slow speed of the experiment, and he couldn't afford to wait, even if it was an extra day, it would be a great risk for him, because he didn't know when he would die quietly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Osborne, I really can't ......," Connors said with difficulty.

He is just a scientist who wants to benefit all mankind, not some kind of murderer.

The thought that his hands would be stained with the blood of countless people, and the way they wailed before his eyes, made Connors tremble.

That's not what he's supposed to do!

"Kurt!" Norman Osborne narrowed his eyes, looked at Connors and said, "Don't you want to get this opportunity to surpass Richard Parker?" Think about how he treated you in the first place? Obviously, it only takes a little time for him to recover your arm and allow you to harvest countless things, but because of his own selfish interests, he wants to monopolize the fruits of cross-species genetic experiments, so he abandons you! Actually, you don't want to fight with him at all, you just want to restore your arm, but he doesn't even give you this opportunity...... As long as you successfully complete the cross-species genetic experiment now and bring good news to all mankind, from now on, no one will remember who Richard Parker is, only your Kurt Connors name, and your arm can be restored. ”

"I want to restore my arm, I want to get a high-profile position, I want to get an endless amount of money, but I can't ignore my conscience......"

"Kurt, let me remind you once that all the patents for cross-species genetic experiments belong to the Osborne Group, and if you don't want to personally draw a successful mark for cross-species genetic experiments, I believe that someone is willing to do it for you." Norman Osborne's eyes were fierce: "Don't make a mistake! ”

Now that the experiments have been carried out to mix the genes of mice and lizards, the most critical step has been successful, and then find a master of biology to take over, and the cross-species genetic experiment will definitely not continue. In the name of the Osborne Group, it is not difficult to find another biological master of this level, because Kurt Connors is not indispensable.

It's just that Norman Osborne thinks that stability is the most important, and in the hands of Kurt Connors, the experiment should be the fastest and the highest success rate, so he should have been talking to Kurt Connors here for a long time.

"I want to surpass Richard Parker, but not this way, otherwise when I die and go to hell, Richard Parker will taunt me and play a despicable way to defeat him. So......" Connors stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a pale face, "If you have to force me, Mr. Osborne, I choose to resign." ”

After a fierce battle between heaven and man, Connors finally realized what he really wanted, and decided not to compromise with evil for jealousy, desire, and greed.

Yes, he admits that he is jealous of Richard Parker, and resents him for defecting at a critical moment, and is greedy for money, and has an almost paranoid desire to restore his arm, but so what?

He doesn't want to be a person with no bottom line!

Norman Osborne fell silent.

"But Kurt know what?" Seeing that Connors was about to leave, Norman Osborne suddenly said, "I'm dying......"
