Chapter Twenty-Three: Norman Osborne

"I left you an empire, but this empire must first guarantee its pure-blood successor!"

"What do you want to say?"

Harry frowned sensitively at Norman Osborne's words.

"Don't you understand, Harry?" Norman Osborne looked at Harry, "Osborne Industries is the empire I founded, and there is no doubt that its pure-blooded heir is you, but it's not easy for you to sit in that position. ā€

"I'm not in a good position in the company, look at me, I can only lie here now, I can't even appear in front of people, exposed to the sun. I haven't had the energy to manage the company's operations and planning for a while. ā€

"When I was alive, those people on Wall Street didn't dare to mess around, but without me, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop those people."

"It's like you know me well." Harry, who was a little agitated, couldn't help but stab.

"Of course I know you! You have a talent that I don't have! But you have abandoned it like a piece! Norman Osborne replied sharply. Over the years, I have always insisted on making decisions about the company, and almost all the shareholders of the company and I have stood on opposite sides because of the 'strengthening medicine'. ā€

"How could I give up on a project that seemed to be a long way from success and that was devouring a lot of research money every year like a gold-eating monster?"

"It's about my life!"

"It's about you and the future of the Osborne."

"I have been forcefully suppressing this kind of speech and mentioning yƬ for many years by various means, do you know what they call me behind my back?"

Norman-Osborne said lightly: "They call me a tyrant!" ā€

"When I was in a position in the company, I was able to suppress them in all sorts of ways. But after I became incurably ill and could no longer represent and handle the affairs of the company, as time went by, any emotions and things would fade irrepressibly, and it was difficult for me to suppress them as I once did. Unless I'm willing to show them what I look like I am. ā€

"Harry, Harry," Norman Osborne called Harry's name continuously, and his tone became a little heavier, "how hard I pressed those people in the first place, how much they hated me!" My death doesn't relieve them. ā€

Harry asked softly, "Will they target me?" ā€

"It's worse than that, kid!" Norman Osborne puffed up and said, "I tried to solve the nightmare of the Osborne family for generations, but it seems to have failed at the moment; I want to leave you a stable empire, but now your position is a little stormy; I've sniped Storm Businesses many times, but it's stubborn and unreasonable. ā€

"Internal and external troubles Harry, after I die, I will be your enemy inside and out."

"The Osborne family will remain the largest shareholder in Osborne Industries." Harry said.

"Yes, the Osborne family will still be the largest shareholder of Osborne Industries, but without the top research institutes of Osborne Industries, you will also lose your future." Norman Osborne sighed faintly and said, "The Wall Street gang will have all the power of Osborne Industries, and they will happily stop the unprofitable research that I support, which is important to the Osborne family." ā€

"The hope of the Osborne family will be cut off, and you, soon, will be lying here like me, slowly, suffering, counting the days and waiting for death."

Harry's face was a little pale, his hands trembling, but his body stood straight.

"I'm not worried about the Wall Street guys at Osborne Industries, I'm worried about the heirs of Storm Enterprises." Norman Osborne said.

"Meng Ao?" Harry glanced at his father in surprise.

The circle of these young people is not large, and even if they have not met, they have heard some about the young people of other families. And Meng Ao was no stranger to Harry.

"I've been fighting Mendel Storm for more than a decade, but I have to admit now that he was a bit more successful than I was." Norman Osborne said, "You have to be careful of the heir to Storm Enterprises, Harry, who will be your great enemy and possibly the terminator of the Osborne family's nightmare. ā€

"What is this? The continuation of the family war? Harry spread his hands, "Why can't we shake hands?" I know Meng Ao, who was one of the few playmates I had when I was a child, and he would take the olive branch I handed me. ā€

"That's what I'm worried about!" Norman Osborne said weakly: "If I could shake hands and make peace, I would have been reconciled with Mendel." ā€

"What is the core industry of Storm Enterprises?" Norman Osborne asked.

"Grade serum." Harry said. This kind of information is difficult for ordinary people to obtain, but there are no secret barriers for people like him.

"And do you know about the 's.sTo1' incident?" Norman Osborne asked, but apparently he didn't expect his son Harry to know, so after just a pause, he continued: "The third-generation serum of the Storm Enterprise, which is the real finished product, was stolen during the delivery to the military, and the research materials were completely destroyed, and some of them were stolen. ā€

"You did it?" Harry's eyes widened for a moment.

"What do you think?" Norman Osborne was calm: "The failure of the 'Enhancement Agent' research and the pressure from the other shareholders of the Wall Street group pressed me, and I had to think of other ways at the time. ā€

"I know what Storm has accomplished, and he doesn't want to hide it from me. So I played hard. ā€

"I ruined his research, hindered his cooperation with the military, and made him suffer badly. The military was disappointed at that time! ā€

"It was at this time that I applied to the military for Osborne Industries' 'Fortified Potions' project, hoping to obtain funds for a follow-up project that the military had intended to allocate to Storm Enterprises. If I succeed, I'll be able to get rid of the annoying corporate shareholders and get Osborne Industries a lot of military orders in the future. ā€

"But I failed."

"Mendel's connections in the military are much stronger than I imagined, and the military's trust and expectations for him are far greater than they are for me."

"This thing is exposed?" Harry looked at his father, and he knew that such a thing could not be exposed, because if it was exposed, it would be a big storm! As the son of Norman Osborne, he must not be confused and unimpressed by this matter!

"Not exposed, but believing Mendel knew that I did it. I did it perfectly, except for a small flaw. "Norman Osborne is a little tired.

"Blemishes?" Harry crouched down in front of the couch.

"It's just one person, and he took some of the serum with him. But he was also very badly injured, and after all these years, he either died or hid somewhere. Norman Osborne continued: "Although the military rejected my application for the program, I also benefited from a portion of Mendel's research. So I never expected Mendel to work with me again. ā€

"Look at this." Norman Osborne lifted his hand with difficulty, picked up a box on the bedside table, opened it in front of Harry, and took out a syringe potion containing a green liquid.

"What is this?" Harry asked, looking at the turquoise liquid in the syringe that was as clear as a solidified light, and his heart unconsciously felt slightly nervous.

"Storm Enterprise's sixth-generation serum, my purpose was not originally this, it's a pity." Norman Osborne said softly.

"You're crazy!" Harry stood abruptly and looked at his father in shock.

"I'm helping you!" Norman Osborne looked at him seriously: "Meng Ao is a little wolf!" Very aggressive little wolf! It's also a very mean little wolf! What's even more terrifying is that he also has a talent and ability that is not inferior to his father. While you're taking over Osborne Industries and taking your seat, I'll have to find something for him to distract him from! Don't keep peeking at Osborne Industries' stock. ā€

"He's got what we need, I don't have the time or the chance to get it, but you're okay. Someone will help you! ā€

"Who's going to help me?" Harry was a little distraught.

Norman Osborne said meaningfully: "Every family like us will always have some strong hole cards. ā€
