At about 6:05, Eric arrived at the venue, which was not too late, the guests had just entered, and some would have to arrive a little later, but usually it would not have been more than half an hour, because any later would have been disrespectful to the host.

Under the flashing lights of reporters, luxury cars drove to the door of the hotel and stopped, and out of a number of celebrities, they are used to being chased, it is rare to come by himself like Eric, but the receptionist did not judge people by their appearance, but politely accepted the invitation and looked at the name and reported to the host who was chatting with the guests on the side.

Greeting Harry's father with a smile, Eric didn't rush over to speak, casually looking around for a look. This is his habit, and he always inspects the environment before he can deal with people with confidence.

As he surveyed his surroundings, a woman approached him.

"I'm sorry." She smiled before she spoke, and her attitude was gentle and polite. "Are you here for Mr. Osborne's birthday party?"

Eric nodded, looking curiously at the tall woman with a snow-white complexion, and without waiting for him to ask, the woman introduced herself:

"I'm not a journalist. I'm Pepper Potts, Mr. Tony Stark's secretary, I have an urgent need for his authorization, he's inside, but he won't answer my phone, can you please take me in? I know it's a presumptuous request, but ......" At this, she spread her hands helplessly and smiled apologetically.

"I've heard of Mr. Stark's temper, and I'm happy to serve you." Eric nodded and smiled, he had always had great kindness towards beautiful women, and just as Harry's father and the guests had finished arguing, they walked over with a smile on their faces.

"Norman Osborne." He greeted Miss Potts, then shook Eric's hand vigorously and introduced himself with a smile. "I loved Harry's birthday present, and when I heard that he was hospitalized, I took the liberty of inviting Mr. Eric, hoping to make your evening enjoyable."

"Thank you for having me, Mr. Osborne." Eric said with a smile. "It's a great honor for me."

His attitude was quite favorable to Mr. Osborne, and he was a little worried that capable people would not get along well, but now he could rest assured.

"Call me Norman. I've heard about you, and I think we'll have a lot of common language, and we'll have a lot of friends tonight, and they're all nice people, and I'll introduce you to them if you're interested, so please excuse me for now. He let go of his hand and turned to greet another guest, who greeted Eric in his place.

"Mr. Norman has always been like this, with a warm and uninhibited personality." Miss Potts looked at Eric and laughed, it seemed that Norman's personality was already well known in the social arena.

Eric smiled silently, from Norman's magnetic field and that wet and cool hand, Eric showed a lot of things, but he didn't intend to reveal it to others, but slowly accompanied Potts around the field, and soon she found her employer in the most crowded place.

A familiar mustache is hugging a woman while accosting another female guest.

Declining Potts' request to introduce him, Eric walked to the sidelines and asked for a whiskey with soda, then approached a girl he had been in love with.

"Not with Harry?" Eric walked over to the girl and asked casually.

The girl was stunned, and was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and only then did she relax after turning around to be Eric, and from her arched up like a self-protective kitten, it seemed that the bright and green environment here was a bit difficult for her to adapt to.

This is Mary Jane, Harry's girlfriend, Peter's longing dream**, the last time his wife Merry came to the office, he met Eric, and at that time he had the impression of being a generous and cheerful girl, not at all like this.

She was standing on the edge of the corner, not far from the crowd, but she felt out of place, as if there was an invisible gully separating her from Harry.

Recognizing Eric, Mary Jane greeted him, then raised the lemon juice gin in her hand and drank it down.

"Harry is busy, someone is introducing him to friends, do you see that girl?" She played with the empty goblet and looked across through the crystal glass. "That's Gwen Stacy, the daughter of the local police chief."

"So you're feeling uneasy?" Eric chuckled softly, his overly direct words stabbing the girl.

Mary Jane raised an eyebrow, then fell in frustration.

"Harry has his world, and I'm just an ordinary girl, others are very good, but maybe Peter is my choice."

"Trust me, Peter won't be upset to hear you, but it's not like you, you should have faith in yourself." Eric reassured.

"That's right." When the wine came, Mary Jane was drunk. "I'm going to be on stage and be a star, and I'm going to do it."

Chatting with Mary Jane, the guests kept coming in, and soon the reception began, and soon after the host, Norman Osborne, took the stage to give a speech, he found an opportunity to come to Eric's side.

"I've been waiting a long time, but may I introduce you to this Mr. Obadiah Stein." Beside Norman was a bald man with a beard, about fifty years of age, with a shrewd and cunning look in his eyes.

"Mr. Stan is the top CEO of Stark Industries?" Eric asked knowingly.

"At the same time, he is also the owner behind Discovery Space." Obadiah laughed, his unabashed attitude surprised Eric, but he understood when he saw Norman's calm expression.

"It's a rare thing to see two gentlemen living in peace." Eric raised his glass in celebration, and it was surprising that the two men didn't raise their guns to knock each other's brains out.

But no matter how strange it is, once there is a suitable reason, it seems to be logical.

"I used to think so, but reality is always more bizarre than fiction, and when we feel like we're facing similar dangers, we're determined to move in lockstep." Norman raised his glass in return.

"Let's be straight, I've had some commercial conflicts with Norman, but that's just business, and we don't want to let it continue to grow, but now there's a hand pushing us and we can't stop, so we want more friends to stand with us." Obadai was outspoken and wanted Eric to join.

Eric didn't immediately agree, he looked over to the center of the room, where there was a prominent figure.

"Why don't you pull him, I think Mr. Stark is more suitable."

Norman looked at Obadiah with a strange face, and Obadai touched his bald head and smiled bitterly.

"Don't embarrass me, Eric, you won't fail to guess why." Obadiah shook his head. "Stark Industries is an eyesore in its own right, otherwise those people wouldn't have grabbed me. Exploration Space is my brainchild, and I can't let them use my brainchild as a tool against an adversary. ”

After Obadiah had finished speaking, Norman continued:

"We were hesitant to invite you to join us, but when I saw the magnetic material you gave Harry, it dawned on me that we had a common interest. First we have the same enemy, those people who are not only targeting our company, but also the driving force behind the persecution of mutants. Also considered for mutants in Congress. After the Taiwan agreement, you need funds and external assistance, in our case, we need your strength and materials, this kind of material does not need too much, as long as it is used in the most critical parts can make a qualitative breakthrough in our products. Osborne and Spaceflight will have your back for as long as you want. ”

"I don't seem to have a reason to say no, so how exactly are we going to work together?" Eric's answer made the two parties very excited, they were ready to be ripped off---- judging from the hearing, this person is good at doing this kind of thing---- but they didn't expect the other party to agree in one bite, which made them see a golden avenue open to them.

The rest of the discussion Eric didn't give much thought. Since the initiative is completely in his hands, he is not only the only supplier of magnetic levitation materials, but also a powerful corner of the common defense system, no matter how it changes, as long as this Osborne-Space-Exploration-Mutant system still exists, he has an unshakable position.

As they discussed, Eric felt a constant stream of people looking at him, and at first he ignored them, until the conversation was over, and the stones in the hearts of the three fell to the ground, and he followed that line of sight.

"That's Miss Susan Storm, the amazing girlfriend of business up-and-comer Doom, a very hot girl, isn't she?" Obadius squeezed his eyes at Eric, he knew that under Eric's leadership, the mutants had a fight with the Fantastic Four, but he didn't know that the follow-up exhibition, on the way back from the west, Eric had a big quarrel with the beautiful young lady.

Now Miss Susan was glaring at him from afar, and when she saw Eric looking at him, she threw him a wide roll of the eyes mercilessly.

Norman noticed her move and poked his nose at it.

"Doom's good days are coming to an end. His fate is the end we want to avoid, but he doesn't have our strength, and it won't be long before he rolls back to his hometown in Latvia. This is the disadvantage of a joint-stock company, and it is really sad that the founder and the biggest hero of the company have to succumb to the power of capital. To be honest, sometimes I envy Stark Industries, Tony Stark has a controlling stake and can stand up to the board of directors with just one person, which is my dream life. ”

"That's why I'm starting Discovery Spaceflight, and hopefully it won't disappoint me." Obadiah sighed, in a sense, Tony's luck was his misfortune, no matter how much he paid for the company, the one who sat back and enjoyed it always took the lion's share.

After talking to the two company owners, Eric was in a hurry, and he put down his glass and went to the bathroom, intending to say goodbye to his master in a moment.

Just as he was arranging his coat in the mirror in the bathroom, a magnetic field with a blue star light crept in, and there was obviously no figure in the mirror, but the magnetic field walked behind him step by step.

Eric turned around sharply, and a soft and smooth transparent delicate body was held in his arms.
