"How do you think I can help you? Mr. Norman? Nick in silence and Norman Osborne in the projection looked at each other, "You know, I'm just the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I don't have as much power as you think.

If it's something that's happening on this planet, I can help you. But this matter is beyond my purview. In other words, even if you are willing to help you, you can't do anything.

I don't want to lie to you on this. ”

"I know, but you're close to Hyperion after all, aren't you? If they were able to get Captain Rogers back, maybe they could find my son?

I know very well that everything has a price, and I am willing to pay a corresponding price for it, as long as I can get Harry back, whether it is Osborne or I in the future, I will always be your staunchest ally. The kind that will do whatever it takes. Norman Osborne said in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm still saying that, I'd love to help you, but I can't help you. I've got you some news, both Luke and the big shareholders of the Energy Bank are now focused on conquering another valuable universe. Even if you find this matter, you won't get the response you deserve. Nick shook his head slowly under Osborne's gaze, and said in a soft but firm tone.

At the helm of a violent agency like S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick knows exactly where his authority is, what he should and shouldn't do.

Although during the period when the Council was in power, he secretly made a lot of small moves behind the Council's back, deducted and embezzled a lot of funds, and created a lot of safe houses all over the world, but it was all to maintain and deal with possible future changes and disasters.

Nick didn't want to say how noble he was or anything, he was just a dark-bellied and cold-hearted king of agents. In the current situation, not to mention the loss of Osborne's son, or the kidnapping of the president, without the permission of the Council, it has nothing to do with him. He doesn't get himself in trouble.

He believes that Osborne also understands this, after all, he is also an old fritter who has dealt with politicians for many years, and has been mixing in shopping malls for many years. Just caring is messy. When you find yourself powerless, you can only find someone who might be helpful to plead.

As for the staunch allies?

Well, there's still credibility. But unless the Abyss Contract is signed, at the critical moment, maybe the unexpected will always happen, right?

"I'm sorry." After being rejected repeatedly, Osborne finally sobered up and calmed down, and after showing Nick an ugly smile in a lonely and understanding manner, he wanted to disconnect the communication.

"Actually, you can go directly to Loki, as the administrator of the Time Authority, this kind of thing is a great blow to his reputation. He's not without competitors. His sister, Hela, the eldest daughter of Odin, the god king of Asgard, had always wanted to snatch that position from Loki.

Loki is going to find a way to deal with this no matter what. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to face Hela's cross-examination and forced palace. Although with what I know about Loki before, there is a high probability that he will find a way to cover it up, act as if nothing happened, and find a few substitutes for the dead, but this kind of behavior cannot be hidden from the shareholders of the Energy Bank.

You can test his plans and put them in front of him, he is a smart man, and now he has heard that he has also changed his ways, and he can take some responsibility. With nothing to do, he will make the right choice.

You can use his powers, and the Time Authority he commands, to find your son. I'm sure you have a way to do that. I'm sure you'll be able to talk to Loki on the line.

In the end, this matter has nothing to do with me. Perhaps Osborne's look at the sudden appearance of a lot of age touched Nick, and his eyes flashed a little reminder.

With Osborne's IQ, after his setback, he was quick to think of other ways. For example, find Loki. So Nick doesn't mind selling a favor beforehand. At least, he reminded him this time, and pointed out some useful information.

"Thank you." Osborne took a deep look at Nick, and after Nick was no longer silent, the communication was disconnected again.

Nick also knew from Osborne's last look that the other party understood his various reminders.

……

【…… Hundreds of billions of heirs, the rebirth or loneliness of a business empire? ……】

【…… It is reported that Harry Osborne has officially taken a leave of absence and began to take over the 100 billion group Osborne Industrial ......]

【…… Internal and external troubles, the ups and downs of a 100 billion group......]

【…… He's going to ruin Osborne Industries! An Osborne shareholder who was kicked out roared ......]

……

Each of the channels switched by the car TV is like a carnival reporting on Osborne Industries, which has been on the cusp of the storm recently, and its new heir, Harry Osborne, has received unparalleled attention and exposure.

From dating supermodels, to driving out Osborne Industries' shareholders, to buying back Osborne's fallen shares. The big ship, called Osborne Industries, had one hole after another, leaking water and sailing in the wind and waves, and it was no longer the Norman Osborne who was at the helm, but a new, immature and inexperienced young man.

Everyone was not optimistic that he could save the declining Osborne industry, and everyone deduced that the Osborne industry would be lonely step by step.

In fact, the decline of Osborne industry has been a well-known thing for more than a decade, and the fall of a behemoth will certainly not be instantaneous, but will have various signs and foreshadowing. And Osborne's ability to make the public form such an unfavorable impression is obviously that it has lost too much in the past ten years.

Young Harry, who was sitting in the car, stared blankly at the pictures on the TV, listening to the words of those people's analysis and inference, and a depression hovered in his chest and could not be relaxed.

He was well aware of how bad things were going for Osborne Industries at the moment! It's even worse than what the people on TV say! It's like a tree that looks healthy on the outside, but it's full of insects and even hollowed out inside.

Harry also knew that there must be one or more promoters behind the scenes of these overwhelming reports. He also knew what the people behind the scenes wanted.

What they wanted was the corpse of Osborne Industries. They hope that, like a whale falling, they can divide and devour the collapsed and bankrupt Osborne industry. The current predicament of Osborne's industrial struggle is also related to the joint efforts of these black hands.

And the death of Norman Osborne Sr. clearly made those people think that their long-awaited time had come. All the connections and backgrounds, the moment Norman Sr. died, the moment Harry hadn't proven himself, would stand on the sidelines of the fight. Wait for the dust to settle.

The old home of the Osborne family.

This was a place that Harry was reluctant to visit, but after Norman Sr. left, he moved back anyway according to the other party's advice. Like a walking corpse, he walked up the stairs to the door of his room, the lock was unscrewed, and the first time he walked in, Harry suddenly realized that something was wrong, he felt that there was another person in his room, and the smell of blood wafted in the air, which he sensitively sniffed.

"Don't shout, don't be afraid, I have no ill will towards you."

In the dimly lit room, a pair of eyes on the bed met Harry in front of the door.

"An uninvited guest came to my room and told me he had no ill intentions?" Harry sneered, but perhaps it was the suppressed emotions in his heart, or other scruples, that prevented him from actually calling someone in the first place.

"I just came here not long ago."

The light at the head of the bed in the room was suddenly turned on, revealing a familiar and shocked face of Harry Osborne.

"Hello, me in this world!" Harry Osborne on the bed reached out and waved at Harry Osborne in front of the door, but this action seemed to tug at his wound, making his face a little grinning.

"This is ridiculous!" Looking at the person with the same face as himself, who was more calm and stronger than his own temperament, Harry Osborne, who looked in the mirror, was a little speechless for a while.

"I also think it's ridiculous, even when I love fantasy the most, I never thought that one day I would meet another me in such an embarrassing manner." Harry Osborne on the bed said with a wry smile.

"Do you think I should trust you?" Harry's eyes in front of the door were full of suspicion, he was now in a time period of doubt, and the appearance of the man on the bed made him think that he had entered some kind of trap.

"I know it's hard to believe, but I can explain it to you, and even name something that only I know about, which is my own. Of course, I don't know if you've experienced this world.

If you can be trusted, maybe it's the basement at home that only the direct bloodline knows? I'm sure my father should have told you about his existence when he left, right? Harry in bed told a secret that few people knew.

Harry froze in front of the door.

"Can you give me some medicine? My injuries are a bit severe. My equipment and emergency measures have been used and are ineffective. I don't want to die yet. The bigger-looking, more mature Harry pleaded with little Harry in front of the door.

"Wait." Little Harry's eyes flickered, and he turned and walked out the door in a hurry, calling out to the servant.

……

"The technique is a bit rough, but it's going to be done, it's really not going to work, maybe I should get a few doctors to help? If you don't want to go to the hospital, I can get them to come home. The old house also has a full set of medical equipment. Little Harry gave Big Harry good medicine, bandaged his wounds, and said softly.

He had mixed feelings about Big Harry, and from the tentative chat just now, Big Harry did say a lot of things and psychological fluctuations that only he knew, and the feeling it brought to him, the longer he got along, the more it was like looking in the mirror, and that familiarity couldn't be hidden. The only difference is that the other party has more experience, is more stable and better than him.

"No, this has already helped me a lot. If it weren't for the severity of my injuries, a simple wound, I could have healed on my own. Big Harry shook his head.

"Are you really from another universe?" Little Harry didn't hold back after all.

"I thought you'd put up with it all the time. Of course, you may not have been exposed to the extraordinaryness of this world, but traveling across latitudes, and even from one universe to another, has happened. That's what my organization does. Big Harry smiled and explained.

"Then how did you get so badly injured?" Little Harry looked at the hideous wound on his chest, he couldn't imagine how strong a normal human being's vitality must be to survive this injury without dying on the spot.

"It's just been affected by the invaders." Speaking of this, Big Harry's face was also inexplicably gloomy. As a non-combatant, an honest office clerk, how could he suddenly encounter such a madman-like attacker! If it weren't for the fact that he happened to have an old time stick at hand to use as a walking stick, and if it weren't for some energy to spare, he wouldn't even be able to escape, maybe he would have to completely explain there.

Big Harry, who was coerced into this universe, had countless expletives in his heart that he wanted to scold, and now he was at the end of his rope, and if he hadn't come to such a strange and familiar world, he might have been cold.

"Is it someone from this universe?" Harry Jr. asked tentatively.

"I don't know, but I only know that after I activated the Scepter of Time, the portal was affected by an unknown force and was coerced by him to come here. Maybe my time will come sooner than his? Big Harry sighed.

"What about the characteristics? You name it, or draw a portrait, and I can use Osborne's power to help you find it. Harry Jr. said.

"A strange man with an iron mask whose face he couldn't see clearly. He has great magical abilities. I think you'd better not go into a big search, it might get you and me in trouble. If the other party comes to the door, I can't protect you at all. Big Harry shook his head, reminding little Harry not to mess around.

"Isn't it even the equipment in the basement? It was the pinnacle of Osborne's technique, which my father had bequeathed. "Harry Jr. has been to the basement and seen the technology of Osborne Industries over the years. He firmly believes that with the presence of these technologies, he will definitely be able to get through this difficult time.

"As much as I don't want to hit you, the truth is, those techniques are too outdated. In my eyes, those things are not as good as toys in our world. Big Harry had also seen the video Harry Jr. had taken of him, as well as the general description of the technology, which in his opinion had long been a waste of goods in the garbage in his world.

"I have better technology! Technology that can make you the most powerful person in this world! ”
