Chapter 22: Norman Osborne

"You know, but you can't!" Norman Osborne said: "A lot of people know something, but they never do it and can't do it. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions about one thing, child, I'm not so confused as to let you come over, just to read such a report."

"Do you know what one thing I regret the most?"

Norman Osborne's voice became calm again.

"You drove away Uncle Storm! And successfully made him your biggest opponent. Harry said.

"Indeed." Norman Osborne's eyes caught a glimpse of Harry's face in the light, and replied, "Don't look at me with that look and look, that's a mockery?" ”

"I just feel like you made the wrong decision." Harry put his hands behind his back and spoke.

"I'll admit it." Norman Osborne leaned sideways on the couch, as if adjusting a position that he felt comfortable with, but for him now, this slight body movement also made him feel a little painful and tired. "But now you can't understand the madness and power of people who are in deep despair when they see a little hope!"

"Look at my face! Take a good look at Harry! This is your future! It's a nightmare that the Osborne family has endured for generations! ”

Norman Osborne jerked his upper body up, exposing himself from the shadow of the couch to the light of the small lamp. Even though it wasn't the first time I'd seen it, looking at that strange and familiar face up close still made Harry's scalp tingle!

What a face that is!

A green, eerie and ugly face like a hardened skin calloon and lizard skin. There were potholes, and some small wounds that looked like open abscesses were overflowing with pale green pus. Anyone who sees this face, even if it is only seen once, will be deeply engraved into his mind and unforgettable to death.

Harry's body shook slightly, and his face changed violently like a twitch.

"You can't hide from the kids." Norman Osborne narrowed his eyes, as if he was a little uncomfortable with being exposed to the light, and retracted into the darkness: "This is a genetic disease, a retrovirus that is difficult to contain and cure perfectly by current means. ”

"I know you're afraid! Afraid of the future where I can only wait for death like me! Norman Osborne continued: "The kind of death that awaits you step by step and cannot be reversed, you can smell his heavy breath beside you, you know that you are certain to die, but you can't die under torture. ”

"I understand your fear of Harry, because that's how I was scared in the first place!"

"When I first heard the news, I was terrified and I started doing crazy things. But when I calmed down, I felt like I deserved to live a little more worthwhile. ”

"I used a sum of money from my father to set up a company with Mendel Storm at the time, and I contributed a large amount of money, and Mendel didn't care much about the shares. We study all sorts of things that interest us. Biology, science and technology, medicine. ”

"His focus is on research, while I focus on the company's operations and direction. We had a great time working together. ”

"Until one day," Norman-Osborne muttered, as if he had said something that made him feel a little strained, and took a few heavy breaths, before he continued, "I am secretly working on a research project by Mendel. ”

"That's a potion, an ambitious potion! If it can be successfully launched and distributed in large quantities, more than 80% of the world's pharmaceutical companies will go bankrupt because of it! The remaining twenty percent will either survive or will have to bow down to Osborne Industries! ”

"That's a weapon, too! A potion that can turn a person into a person. ”

"Leaving aside that huge benefit, the most important thing is that I see hope in it." Norman Osborne turned his head from the pillow to look at Harry standing beside the bed, his cloudy eyes shining as greedy as a wolf in the darkness: "I don't have to wait so miserably for death now." ”

"So you drove him away and snatched his research?" Norman Osborne's aggressive gaze made Harry subconsciously look down and avoid it, but he soon raised his head again and met his father's gaze.

"How else?" Norman Osborne muttered. "I was completely crazy, and the only thing I had in my head was to get it! Get that potion at any cost! My mind was completely overrun by this thought. ”

"I still remember that my feelings were so intense, my thinking was so active, and for a period of time, a lot of plans to snatch that kind of medicine would pop up in my mind, absolutely rigorous. During that time, it seemed like my whole life was just trying to get my hands on that potion. ”

"I made up a lie and told the people in the company about Storm's research. I convince them, those on Wall Street, with prospects and interests. They were red-eyed and joined forces with me to drive Mendel away. I know Mendel, who is a bit stubborn and paranoid, but also proud and egoistic. ”

"I was fanatical and didn't even have the flawless idea that his kind of personality would be a problem for me in the future, because my mind couldn't think about anything else at that time."

"He sold most of his Osborne stock and left behind all the patents, and I and the Wall Street guys ate the big bucks. For this, Mendel received a large sum of money. It was a lot of money, but none of us cared about that at the time. ”

"I got the potion as I wished."

"I'm as eager as everyone else is for its success."

"Mendel opened the company."

"He took over a military study that was outdated, abandoned."

"He succeeded, he saved the military research project that was dying and not dying."

"By this time a long time has passed, and Mendel's side is blooming."

"But what about me? What research I am looking forward to and paying attention to! ”

Norman Osborne's voice became sharp and high-pitched: "They still go on!" The top researchers I recruited in the field of biology, genetics and medicine told me again and again that it will take a lot of time to research! ”

"I've heard this for years!"

"I'm starting to feel confident, and even if my research is frustrated, I still trust those people. Research always has to be done step by step, I know that! So I gave them time. I gave them plenty of money, I gave them state-of-the-art equipment and research environment, and I gave them all the support I could. I still have time to wait! ”

"Leave no stone unturned!"

"At any cost!"

"But now, the sentence that those people say to me is still the same sentence 'research still takes time'!"

"But now I don't have time."

"It's sad, isn't it? When my research was frustrated, and I was completely sober from my frenzy, I realized that I had done something stupid! I kicked Mendel away, too soon! I thought I had got the hope I wanted, but the real hope was driven away by me. ”

"I knew that if Mendel had stayed, the research might not have been successful. But isn't that what people are? ”

"I don't have much time left, children, and I can feel them devouring my withered flesh and wheezing life under my skin, so I must explain something to you, and the last thing I can do for you as a father."
