Chapter 29: Confession
CHAPTER XXIX
Osborne Building.
After the party, Alicia went to work the next day and reported her work to Harry.
Harry was generally satisfied, except for a few words Peter had to say.
"Is he okay?"
"I hope he doesn't mess around."
After hesitating, Harry decided to invite Peter to Osborne.
"Welcome over, Peter!"
When Alicia brought Peter in, Harry stood up to greet him.
"I'm still curious, how could the eldest prince of the Osborne family suddenly invite me." The corners of Peter's mouth curled up and he teased.
Harry laughed at himself and said, "Maybe not soon." ”
"I don't think so." Peter encouraged.
Alicia retreated into the corner with great interest, and Harry turned to show Peter the office he had inherited from his father.
Then the two stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the most expensive lot in all of New York.
"If it hadn't been for the fact that the Dianguang people had escaped last night, and now the media are scrambling to report on them, and they are so anxious, maybe I would have to be judged by them at the shareholders' meeting right now." Harry said.
"That proves you don't deserve to die, doesn't it?"
"Haha." Harry smiled happily on his face, but silently added in his heart,
Of course not.
He released the electric light man, and to be honest, he didn't know if it was right or wrong to do so.
The damage caused by the electric light man is much greater than he imagined.
Who would have thought that a tube of gene medicine could directly convert people into electricity, and the painting style has changed!
But Harry didn't regret it, and he couldn't regret it either.
He had no other cards, so he could only try to buy time, even if it was to survive.
Before today, he could only hide these words in his heart, and he couldn't share any of them, not even Alicia.
Until this point, only Peter could talk a thing or two.
"I'm not sure if what I'm doing right is right." Harry said.
"For most of the world, nothing is absolutely right, or absolutely wrong."
"Yes, there is only one choice, and it would be good to be worthy of your heart."
"Isn't it worth it?" Harry muttered, "I don't know...... But I had to keep Osborne. ”
Peter didn't say anything more, and Harry could only change the subject and laugh:
"You say, why didn't Black Superman show up last night and directly solve the electric light man?"
He had said it in that light, joking tone, but no one could hear what he meant.
Dissatisfaction with Black Superman...... and resentment!
"It seems that you are still attached to your father's affairs." Peter sighed.
"Or else?" Harry pressed his hand against the floor-to-ceiling window, pressed it tightly, and asked:
"For a man who killed my father, I used to idolize him, but not anymore, I can no longer look at him with the eyes I used to have."
"But your father deserves it, Harry."
Without any hesitation, Peter uttered these harsh words.
Harry was also stunned by Peter's words.
It stands to reason that he should be angry now. But I don't know if it's because the person who said this was Peter, not only was he not angry, but like a ball punctured by these sharp words, the whole person was a little decadent,
"I know, I know, Peter. My father was a wicked man, and he deserved it...... But isn't that the saddest thing about that? ”
He looked up at Peter, and said:
"He is my father after all, a father who transcends all morality, law, who created me, who raised me, who is closely bound by blood."
"I'm entangled, conflicted, painful."
"Black Superman killed my father, I should have hated him, hated him, hated him! But...... But I know that he is not to blame for all this...... It was my father who chose all of this on his own. ”
"My conscience can't make me completely on my father's side and hostile to Black Superman, and my feelings can't make me completely open, understand, and forgive Black Superman...... Can you understand how I feel? ”
Peter listened, and suddenly thought of Tony.
Harry too, Tony too, they're both smart and can see a lot of things, but sometimes, some things don't just need to be understood.
They can't get past themselves.
This is almost incomprehensible.
The world cannot be changed, only oneself can be changed.
Heh, but for some people, sometimes it's easier to change the world than to reconcile with yourself.
However, if Peter were to do it again, he would still choose to kill the Green Goblin.
For these guys, Peter rarely directly sentenced them to death.
Like Connors, for example.
Even if he became a lizardman, he still kept resisting and struggling, and all he thought about was a redemption.
He pleaded with someone to kill him, but in his heart he longed for someone to save him.
For example, like Jin Ju.
He is the king of the underground, and 80 percent of the crimes that New York has on the table have something to do with him.
But Peter did not kill him either.
Because he is also the creator of the rules, a member of the process of social operation.
Figuratively speaking, he is the one who disposes of garbage, and the evil in him not only comes from him, but also from the whole society.
Without him, Peter is sure that New York will be in a mess for a few moments, until the next gold comes along.
Only the Green Goblin, who is completely out of the rules, exists to destroy, to destroy.
This kind of uncontrolled guy, won't he kill it and keep it for the New Year?
Oh, in the country of rice, it should be Christmas.
As for the vultures...... There's nothing to say, he deserves to die.
Therefore, the contradiction cannot be changed, and the only thing that can be changed is people.
"Harry, whether it's to hate or to let go, let's try it." Peter said.
Harry looked at him in confusion.
Peter looked at the blue sky and said, "If you can't let go, then try to get revenge on Black Superman."
Once, twice, and so on until you have a clear conscience. ”
"Haha, what a clear conscience." Harry laughed and complained:
"Forget it, Peter, go provoke Black Superman? I don't want to die so soon yet. ”
"Oh. You're pretty self-aware. ”
Harry:......
"I shouldn't have come to you guys, I came here to block me!"
He exhaled and said solemnly:
"Thank you, Peter, thank you so much."
"No, I don't. You helped me too, didn't you? I was very satisfied with the prom. ”
Harry shook his head, and turned to the wine cabinet behind him full of fine wines, picking and choosing.
"Would you like something to drink?" He asked.
"If you can, bring me a Coke and add ice."
"Hey! No kidding, which wine here is 10,000 times better than that carbonated drink? ”
"No, you're serious? You'll regret it, Alicia! ”
Alicia in the Corner: ......
"Okay, wait a minute, boss." She rolled her eyes and stepped back to find a Coke on the rocks.
"Pepsi." Peter added.
Harry poured himself a glass of whiskey, brewed it, and said, "Peter, I'm looking for you...... One more thing. ”
He looked a little embarrassed, "About the last time I asked you to invite Spider-Woman......"
"You didn't give up?"
"It's a matter of life, Peter, it's not that I don't believe you......"
"I understand."
"So......" Harry looked at Peter expectantly.
"I can't promise you, Harry."
Harry was stunned, "Why, I thought ......"
"Didn't I say that the research is still going on, and your problems will always be solved in the future."
"Yes, I believe you. But I don't want to sit still...... Or do you still value Spider-Woman more than me? Harry looked at Peter.
At this moment, his gaze was a little too sharp, and Peter's steel body could ignore it.
"Harry, there's one thing I have to confess to you." He said.
"What?" Harry swallowed, he was surprisingly nervous at this moment.
"Actually, I'm not a fan of Black Superman. I'm a fan of Spider-Woman. ”
Harry: "What? ”
He looked at Peter with a confused expression.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Peter, don't joke with me at this time. ”
"I'm not kidding you, it's important."
"Sometimes, a tube of blood is enough to do a lot, isn't it?"
Harry:......
He was somewhat disappointed, and Peter eventually ...... Still didn't choose him.
When Peter left, he was the only one sitting alone in the spacious office.
Until a blue current flowed out of the socket on the ground, and gradually condensed into a human form in the air,
"Oh, poor Harry Osborne, you're alone again." Max said.
