16. Green Goblin appears
"I want to go to the carnival parade too!"
In the apartment, Mindy pouted and looked pitiful with tears in her eyes, today is the carnival festival in New York, and many citizens will get out of their homes and gather in Central Park for a grand festival parade.
Originally, little Lori had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and Sean was also invited by Harry, he didn't want to participate in such a lively occasion, but when he thought of being able to witness the first decisive battle between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, he agreed to Master Osborne's request.
"I'd love to take you with me, too, but I've made an appointment with Mr. John, and you'll have to go to school for an interview on your own - it's the big thing that will determine whether you can go to school or not!"
Sean shrugged helplessly, and after some discussion with Lori, he decided to let Mindy go to school and live the life of a normal girl.
He refers to Mindy as his cousin, whose parents were killed in a car accident and who had travelled from Australia to look for their loved ones - the unfortunate background and attractive money impressed the director of the private school, and he managed to turn the blonde little Lori into a member of the aristocratic private school, provided that she passed several interviews with several teachers and proved that she had no intellectual defects.
"I'll bring you Burger King to compensate, or invite you to eat Chinese food, and the fact that an authentic Chinese restaurant has finally opened in Chinatown is probably the most joyful thing in this time."
Sean comforted Mindy, who had lost his temper, he felt that he was about to enter the stage of a middle-aged man in advance, and adopted a little Lori, but it was like raising a daughter, and he had to worry about her in everything.
"By the way, remember to try to act like a normal girl and don't scare those teachers!"
The young boy told him uncomfortably, because Mindy's previous education was too abnormal, which made this little Lori's way of thinking completely different from other peers, and he was now very worried that when the school teacher asked her what she was good at, the little Lori would take out a butterfly knife, or play a set of grappling and fighting, which would be extremely embarrassing.
"Alright, alright! Annoying! Tsundere's little Lori put on her small schoolbag and went out without looking back with her ponytail, obviously still resentful of Sean leaving her alone to participate in the carnival parade.
After settling the small oil bottle, Sean changed into a suitably ironed formal suit and hailed a taxi towards Central Park.
"Maybe it's time to buy a car." He thought to himself.
…………
Known as New York's "back garden," Central Park has long been the go-to place for citizens to relax, as the largest urban park in New York City, with a beautiful landscape of small lush forests, wide courtyards, and amphitheaters.
Today, the square in the wide area is already crowded, there are constantly citizens pouring in, colorful ribbons and balloons flying in the sky, Disney cartoon dolls can be seen everywhere, attracting the interest and eyes of children, the festive atmosphere infects everyone, everyone cheers and plays, happy laughter echoes in the sky, converges into a noisy and boiling ocean.
Harry and his girlfriend, Mary Jane, arrived early in the hotel room, a historic luxury hotel located near Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, with a good view of Central Park from an observation deck, which is the best place to watch the carnival parade.
"I don't know if my father will come over, and the two guys Peter and Sean, why haven't they arrived yet......"
Harry found out that he and his girlfriend were the first two people to arrive, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed, Peter recently encountered a low point in his life, the uncle who raised him was shot and killed, Master Osborne wanted to help his friend come out of the pain of losing his loved ones, as for Sean, since entering the university, except for attending classes on time, he basically couldn't see anyone, as if he was busy with something.
However, it is worth mentioning that Sean actually joined the independent laboratory of Dr. Connors, who was a visiting professor at the State University of New York, as an intern assistant, which surprised Harry, who had never heard of it before, and Sean had a unique talent and interest in genetic biology.
As for Peter, I heard that he is also working hard to become the chief videographer of the daily Clarion Daily, and all the photos of Spider-Man published by the newspaper were taken by him alone, which added a lot of income to Parker, who was already struggling to make a living.
The two best friends have their own lives, only Harry doesn't know what to do except spend every day with Mary-Jane, he doesn't have much interest in inheriting his father's company, the hypocritical entertainment in the mall, and the boring industrial production make Master Osborne feel a headache, and for a while, Harry, who is holding his girlfriend, is a little confused about the future and doesn't seem to know where to go.
"Harry, didn't your father come?" A voice interrupted Harry's thoughts, and he looked back to find that it was his father's two partners, Mr. Ba and Mr. Fei.
"He promised to come, but he hasn't seen anyone else." Harry said in frustration that maybe his father was busy with some work right now, as he always was.
"We're going to give him good news."
Mr. Ba and Mr. Fei had a strange smile, and it was really worth celebrating that Osborne Industries, which had been ordered by the Ministry of Defense, would soon be sold to Wall Street bankers at a high price, and that huge profits would fall into their pockets.
As for Norman Osborne, who cares about a loser, Mr. Ba and Mr. Fei have always wanted to divide Osborne Industries as a big cake, but Norman tried his best to stop it, trying to transform the company into a defense procurement company and become a military industrial giant like Stark Industries.
"It's ridiculous." Mr. Ba and Mr. Fei glanced at each other, turned around and walked to the other side, enjoying the carnival feast in Central Park.
The sound wave of noisy cheers swept into the air, and on the huge stage, a black woman in red sang passionately, swaying her bloated body, and the high and enthusiastic rock songs accompanied by a strong rhythm instantly detonated the enthusiasm in the crowd, and the applause was like a wave after wave.
A taxi was parked on the edge, and the increasing flow of people blocked the road ahead, and Sean stepped out of the car and looked up to see floating ribbons and hot air balloons, like colorful clouds, almost obscuring the sky.
"I wonder if Harry has arrived?" Sean looked at the crowd and had a headache for a while.
It didn't take long for him to see Peter in the crowd, and the young Spider-Man was holding a camera, taking pictures non-stop, looking like he was never tired of it.
Sean was about to step forward to say hello, when a series of shrill laughter swept through the air, and the singers singing on the stage couldn't help but stop, and the lively and cheerful atmosphere stopped, and people raised their heads to look up—a strange man in green armor, stepping on a bat-like flying machine, shuttling between streamer balloons, and laughing wildly from time to time.
"Hahaha! Happy holidays! ”
The strange man piloted a strangely shaped flying machine, and on the hideous and terrifying devil's helmet, his green eyes revealed a murderous meaning, and he looked down at the crowd below, and several pumpkin-shaped bombs were dropped.
"It's a gift for you!"
Several loud bangs, bright fires rushed into the sky, accompanied by a huge explosion, the people participating in the carnival parade panicked, scattered and fled, the scene was extremely chaotic for a while, everyone screamed and ran away, the built stage collapsed under the impact of the flow of people, countless wires were entangled, bursting out one after another of fire.
Sean stared at the strange man in the sky, thinking that sure enough, just like the original timeline, the Green Goblin appeared in the form of a carnival.
