New York, the economic center of the Commonwealth, is the shining pearl of the earth's culture. In this country where capital is everything and capital exercises the power of God, New York, as the center of the global economy, is something that no economy with international influence will let go! In the steel jungle, the unique and unique towering buildings are indisputable proof!

Osborne Industries, an international super-monopoly enterprise, covers most of the high-tech industries such as drugs, medical hardware, and defense industry products, and has deep research in basic sciences such as biomaterials and new energy.

As a super-tech company, Osborne Industries has a strong political and economic position and maintains a rich and good social image. Relying on its own influence and the intertwined and complex network of capital behind him, Osborne Industries can be said to be one of the masters of the Federation!

Not to mention, those secret industries such as high-tech military science and technology, life engineering, and biological weapons that are secretly unknown, including many top-secret programs that cannot be made public. One can imagine how powerful Osborne Industries is!

And it all came from the hands of one man, the owner of Osborne Industries, Norman? Osborne!

……

Osborne Building, Human Enhancement Laboratory.

There are no experimental instruments, no busy experimenters, the silver-white metal covers the entire laboratory, and the soft silver halo fills the not wide space, and an illusory three-dimensional projection is suspended in the center!

A burly middle-aged man stood straight in front of the illusory projection, his brown eyes staring at the illusory projection in mid-air. The middle-aged man is wearing a simple black suit that fits well, the delicate fabric is close to the angular and shapely body, and the cold face gives people an indescribable courage!

Osborne's master, Norman? Osborne.

Next to him stood another middle-aged man. With a messy hairstyle, a looming stubble on his cheeks, and not very neat clothes, the middle-aged man looked very depressed compared to the well-dressed Osborne master, not much better than the homeless man on the street, this man was Dr. Lizard, Connors.

A pair of cool eyes also stared at the virtual screen directly in front of them. The characters on the virtual screen are none other than Doctor Octopus and Alec.

"As the man said, the world is full of mystery and incredibleness." Connors fumbled with the stubble on his chin, staring aggressively at the still slightly green face on the screen, and sighed, "Alchemist, material control, what kind of power is this. ”

"But, Mr. Osborne, is it worth it?" Turning his head, Connors looked at Norman Osborne, his original brown pupils had turned into light green vertical pupils, like a cold abyss, full of the ferocious bestiality of predators, "For such an immature individual and tear their faces, hehe, this is not what you Osborne would do!" ”

"Mr. Osborne, I hope you have not forgotten the foundation of our cooperation, I have given my wisdom and ability, and you have provided me with resources and shelter!"

Seeing the war in the illusory world made Connors feel insecure, or more aware of the reality hidden in the dark side of society: capital, which is the master of this civilized society. Any existence that tries to touch it will be crushed!

In the face of the changes in the world's scientific and technological forces, he understands that in the future, whether it is a normal life or to achieve his goals, it is far from enough to rely on his own strength!

The U.S. system determines that it must open its doors to the operation of capital, and the capital custody and operation system represented by banks and securities companies has built a complex game of rules, a game of capital, and a game of power together with the country's system and laws. Complicated contracts and contracts, complex financial rules, and countless accounting and law firms.

Cross-shareholding, corporations and offshore companies, custodian funds and securities companies, the will behind capital is like an invisible hand, through which it controls the entire economic system. These funds, large and small, and the power controlled by investment companies, are always pooled into the hands of a few families in a dizzying array of holdings and deeds.

Just as men conquer the world by force, women conquer the world by conquering men. The technology companies use their own technology, innovation, and wisdom to release a powerful influence on the human society, but the capital behind them can cover the social rules through the wealth rules they create, and control the technology companies with the network of capital, and then envelop the entire society!

Stark Industries, Hammer Industries, Trask Industries......

Complex laws and covenants across the world's capital markets. All the time since the birth of finance, mankind has intertwined a powerful capital flow network system, which influences the civilization created by mankind on this planet!

As the representative scientific and technological force of the forward driving force of civilization, high-tech companies are the most important nodes in this network. Whether it's Stark, Hammer Industries, or Trask Industries......

And Osborne Industries, which has an in-depth study of biotechnology, is no exception!

Capital is greedy and cold. In this civilization created by an intelligent race dominated by emotion, the veins of capital are everywhere, just like the blood pipes all over the body, which also flow with bright red cold blood, cruel and ruthless!

The group called "capital" is like a parasite living in the human body, sucking the nourishment flowing in the vein of wealth little by little. Relying on the "capital" of civilization growth created by an intelligent race, the power controlled by it is so terrifying that Connors will feel a tremor from the depths of his heart even if his mind touches it slightly!

And now what Osborne's controller is doing has touched this terrifying existence, how can you make him feel at ease!

"You're questioning me." Norman Osborne withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Connors with a blank expression.

"Questioning? This is just a friendly proposal to be a qualified ally. Connors shook his head and looked at Norman with a calm face, the corners of his mouth showed white teeth, his eyes were bright and uncertain, and there was a cold chill hidden in his eyes. I don't want to be a lost dog again. ”

Thinking of a long time ago, it was because of the man in front of him, who had changed from a world-renowned biology professor to a lost dog who could only survive in the sewers, that the chill in Connors's green eyes became even more profound!

"Norman, you know. If you lose Osborne because of your hubris, I'll tear you apart! ”

The fluctuation of emotions made the surface of the skin exposed on Connors's body begin to be covered with a layer of green shimmering, and countless green silk threads were entangled and intertwined, weaving a strange pattern of patterns, which were energy circuits, more like green scales, and at the same time, a cold-blooded predator's aura surrounded his body, cold, bloody, with the cruelty of the jungle! The change in mood even affected the temperature of the room. The ferocious aura pounced on Norman Osborne, like a predator ready to hunt!

"Not bad." The fierce aura didn't have much effect on Norman Osborne, but instead looked at the green lines on Connors's skin with a pair of inquiring eyes, nodded and praised, but then shook his head and said, "But that's not enough." ”

"You know, in my eyes, you're not much different from those ordinary people!" There was a hint of regret in his sigh, "The transcendent not only comes from the body, from the power you have, but also includes your vision, your knowledge, your pursuit, and all the meanings of your life existence, all of which have undergone earth-shaking changes, that is, from ordinary things to divine ......."

"And that's exactly what you're lacking, the limits of your vision make you lack enough understanding of the nature of this world!" With eyes fixed on Connors, Norman smiled sarcastically: "Turn your face? Capital is something more realistic than politics, and everything can be compromised as long as you have enough chips! Just like I once chose to compromise with capital for the glory of Osborne, and now they will make the same choice as me! ”

A hint of cold breath from Norman? Oss himself spread out, and his brown pupils were also infected with green, like the magic pupils of the abyss, burning with a cold green evil flame. In the depths of that flame is an incomparably pure evil will!

"It's really bad right now!"

"With the rapid development of science and technology, geniuses are popping up like those disgusting rats in the sewers, and the popularization of superpowers is exacerbating this change!"

"Osborne is facing a challenge?" Norman Osborne stepped forward and stood in front of Cones, his eyes rolled slightly to observe this ally of his own up close: "What's worse is that because of their own inflated ambitions, those jackals who have been hiding behind the scenes are no longer satisfied with silently watching this changing world, they want a wider influence, in order to protect themselves and further strengthen themselves, they have shown their fangs to this changing world - Super Energy Research Institute!" ”

"Hehe, it's like 'capital', dirty and high-sounding!"

Norman Osborne looks at the virtual projection suspended in mid-air, on which unique buildings tower over the heart of New York City, like a predator looking down on his territory! The projection changes, the picture shrinks proportionally, and the coverage begins to increase.

New York, Washington, San Francisco, Detroit......

In the picture, the unique buildings belonging to the Super Academy are constantly rising from every city of the Federation, and the power of capital behind this is centered on these unique buildings to create a coverage network that sweeps the entire Federation - a new organizational form with Super Energy Change as the core and the transcendent as the ultimate goal!

Capital, Connections, Talent, Wisdom, Superpowers......

Grab all the nutrients you can grow, this monster with unlimited potential is growing rapidly!

From north to south, covering the east and west, the rocky gray covers most of the entire Federation, shrouding the essence of the earth's civilization! And this gray is like an insatiable monster, still expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, increasing its coverage!

The virtual projection area remains the same, and the range of picture presentation is getting larger and larger. In front of the two of them, the whole earth was projected into a three-dimensional sphere composed of blue hues, and on the blue sphere the size of a basin, dark or light, wisps of gray areas, like thin lines on behalf of the Federation, constantly entangled and woven into a palm-sized gray area, wriggling, sucking, and silently growing like life!

"They've made a new choice, and Osborne has been abandoned." Norman quipped, "A completely obedient 'Osborne' is clearly more in line with those people's goals than an Osborn with an independent will!" ”

"The re-selection of capital may have an impact on Osborne, but the newborn toddler is not enough for you to make a decision that borders to tear your face!" Connors said calmly.

Osborne Industries has been in business for so many years, and its power cannot be underestimated, both openly and secretly. It's no exaggeration to say that this is a giant business, just like Stark. Such a company is definitely not something that a toddler who has just been born for a few months can shake! And this is also the reason why when Osborne proposed to cooperate, he did not refuse, because he understood Osborne's power, and he needed this power.

"God forbid, I should be glad that he is still very young, which makes a compromise possible. They need time for him to grow, and the pressure from capital makes me have to watch him grow stronger. Hehe, the former overlord is slowly dying, and a new one will appear on his corpse! ”

The two men in the room suddenly fell silent, and an air of uneasiness spread out of sight.

"Osborne's place in the wealth network will eventually be replaced, and a new, more dynamic, and more obedient instrument will inherit this power and exercise the power that once belonged to Osborn......

Norman Osborne stood in the center of the hall, quietly looking at the delicate blue sphere in front of him, and said to himself without focus: "But Osborne is mine." Wealth, power, dreams, extraordinary ambitions, Osborne is not only a business, he is another me, representing status, hope and strength! ”

The firm will in his tone made Connors couldn't help but tremble in his heart!

"Capital without a bottom line is terrible, and there is nothing we can do about it...... And in this world, capital is power...... Choose to fight, destruction is our only ending......" Connors said with a complicated face.

Capital connects the world.

Ore, Steel, Oil, Talent, Wisdom......

All the essences of human civilization will be quickly integrated together under the power of capital, and the power of madness and fear will explode under the same will!

"In order to survive, we can only fight. In order to live, we need to find new strengths, forces that can be countered! Norman's deep voice rang out!

The inside of the azure sphere lit up with a deep glow. In the illusory projection, a rain of blue light fell. It's like a seed buried deep in the soil waiting for the season of recovery, taking root and sprouting under the moisture of rain. On the planet, in the sky full of light and rain, a strange tree is bathed in life......

"The tree of life that belongs to Osborne is the power that can break everything!" (To be continued.) )
