Chapter Twenty-One: The Heart of the Old Father George
CHAPTER XXI
After a day of official business, George drove home with his tired body and mind in his arms.
In middle age, after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, he cherishes everything he has now.
Whether it's his career, or his family.
Of course, it is inevitable that every middle-aged man will sit quietly in the car alone after work, enjoy the peace of mind, and then think about life.
George sighed deeply, a little worried.
Half a month ago, he found out that the excellent, well-behaved, and sensible daughter turned out to be the masked vigilante spider girl he had been denouncing and resisting!
The New York police chief's mentality collapsed on the spot.
The wrong idea about Spider-Girl was instantly erased from his mind, leaving only "Oh my God, why is she so messed around!" "The old father thought.
Seeing his daughter crying for him made him feel even more distressed.
George does a lot these days.
The first is to use power to unify the police department's attitude towards Spider-Woman from top to bottom, as well as issue the Medal of Honor, provide a lot of support, and so on.
But that didn't dispel his concerns.
Having fought these superhuman sins face-to-face, and with his own daughter, George was deeply aware of the dangers of this profession.
Whether it is the danger brought by the confrontation with these superhuman criminals, or the hidden danger brought to the family and friends around him.
Not to mention the impact on her work, love, and marriage in the future!
George began to worry that his daughter would not be able to get married......
Damn, Gwen is so good and cute.
I heard that even Stark's billionaire has officially announced his debut as a hero recently, George pressed his temple, and his eyes were confused,
What's wrong with the world?
Is he old? Or is the world changing too fast.
I remember that when he was young, he always rushed to the front line to fight wits and courage with the gangsters, but I don't know when everyone began to pop superheroes and villains.
Thinking that life must have a beginning, George finally got out of the car and went home.
The virtuous wife Helen opened the door for him, and the two sons were playing in the living room, and everything was fine.
"Where's Gwen?" George asked.
"She's still in the room." Helen's expression was a little wrong.
The preconceived George suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong?" Is she hurt? ”
"What do you say?" Helen gave George a strange look, "Gwen is fine, why should he be hurt?" ”
"Then she's ......"
Helen pursed her lips and said, "Come here." ”
Changing into slippers, George followed Helen outside Gwyn's room.
I saw the inside of the room. Gwen was picking at the clothes in the closet in a rare way, and she never made up her mind.
"She's been doing this for an hour," Helen said. ”
George's expression was wonderful.
Well, my daughter is fine, but in a way, it seems that there is something bigger going on......
He was even more congested.
"Dad, which one do you think looks good?" Gwen asked, seeing George returning.
"Ahem," George cleared his throat, "you look good in every outfit, dear." ”
Gwen frowned, "Okay, I'll take a look at ......"
George:......
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The more Gwen was concerned, the more jealous he became, as if something good in his heart was about to be defiled, and he asked:
"Tell me, which stinky boy it is, Gwen."
"Ah, Daddy, am I that obvious?"
“……”x2
George and Helen looked at each other. Yes, this time my daughter is really going to be arched.
George, who was still worried that his daughter would not be able to marry a moment ago, began to struggle again.
Damn, what a bastard!
Gwen smiled sweetly, a little embarrassed, "I made an appointment with Peter to go out this weekend, of course, just a normal outing." ”
It's Peter...... Like a big stone in his heart falling to the ground, George breathed a sigh of relief.
Both he and Helen automatically blocked out Gwen's later sentence.
Peter and Gwen hadn't heard much for so long, and he thought that the two children were not going to have any drama, and now it seems that at least not the worst outcome.
Of course, George couldn't help but squint,
Oh, from now on, Peter is not only half his son, but also half an enemy.
Eventually, though, he found an opportunity to call Gwen into his study.
Peter...... Does he know? George asked.
Gwen knew that George was asking Peter if he knew she was Spider-Woman.
She shook her head, "I haven't told him yet." ”
George exhaled and said:
"Peter, this kid is very smart, he has a bright future, and we know the roots, he is the most suitable person."
"I know Dad."
"So, don't get him involved."
Gwen was stunned for a moment, and then heard George continue, "Gwen, I'm not against you being with Peter. ”
"I'm just saying, you're special, you have your thoughts, I can't stop you, there's no reason to stop you,
All I can do for you as a father is to support you and protect you with all my might. ”
George's words are serious,
But Peter was different. He's just an ordinary person, and if he gets involved, it will only be a disaster. Like me, I almost died ...... because of it."
But he's already involved...... Gwen said to herself.
Being reminded by George like this, she was finally shocked and remembered the scene of her father falling from a tall building that night.
If it weren't for Black Superman, I'm afraid what she and her mother are experiencing now would be a different scene, right?
Let Peter also suffer this scene, Gwen is unwilling from the bottom of her heart.
But now, what can she do?
Gwen left the study preoccupied.
……
Osborne Building.
Recently, the Osborne Group has been plagued by many disasters.
First there was the Green Goblin, then the lizardmen attacked, and several superhuman heroes committed crimes on the rooftops of the building.
Not to mention the fluctuation of people's hearts, the most important thing is that their market value and wealth have shrunk by more than half in this short period of time.
This made those Osborne shareholders grit their teeth in distress.
Especially when they saw that the market value of Stark Industries, which was originally comparable next door, had soared recently, which was even more uncomfortable than they had made a loss.
Oh, they're already losing a lot of money, and their mentality is broken.
Therefore, the culprit of all this, Norman Osborne, was hated by them.
After Norman's death, the hatred was transferred to Harry.
Even though Harry theoretically inherited all of Norman Osborn's shares, he was still excluded from Osborne's inner circle.
Even they've started the operation, ready to take Harry's stake too.
"So, they say they've ruined all the projects my father left behind? Ephesia. Harry asked, sitting at his father's desk.
"Yes, Mr. Osborne, at least on the surface. The argument is to restore the confidence of investors and to deal with those lawsuits. Ephesia said.
Her former secretary to Norman Osborne, and the only person Harry trusted Osborne now.
"What about the backyard?"
"I heard it by accident...... The new chairman, Mencken, and the head of security said that they had been transferred to a place, a secret department, but sorry, Mr. Osborne, I have no authority to know......"
"Oh, well, Ephesia, you go down first."
Harry sat alone at his desk, his eyes glazed over.
"Why don't you wait?"
He recalled the last words Peter had said to him at school,
"Research into cross-species gene transfer continues, and while it doesn't solve your problem at the moment, it will always work in the future."
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"I promise." Peter said.
……
"I'm sorry Peter, I'd love to believe you, but it's ...... And, "The muscles on Harry's face twitched a little from the tightness,
"I can't wait, I can't let those thieves steal everything my father left behind."
With a long breath, he opened the Osborne Group's internal network and searched for the entry [Secret Project].
[Sorry, the ...... of the item could not be detected]
"Log in, Harry Osborne."
[The account is already logged in.] 】
"Search for [Secret Project]"
【A total of ...... have been searched for you files. 】
Harry closed his eyes in pain. He knew that this was his father's last gift to him.
He clicked on the documents, and as the contents of the documents were exposed in front of him, even if he had been prepared, he couldn't help but constrict his pupils and look shocked.
