Hearing Azu's words, Gwen didn't answer immediately, and the woman who had already appeared mature curled up lazily at the other end of the sofa, and also picked up a glass of whiskey and took a sip, and under the stimulation of alcohol, a faint flush appeared on her white face.

"A lot has happened in the last few years, sir."

Gwen held the wine glass in one hand, tilted her head back slightly, and showed Azu her beautiful neckline, which made people want to kiss it fiercely.

"Remember the Great War?"

Azu knew, of course, that she was referring to the fight with Martin.

In that battle, New York was razed, then Martin wiped out a large number of troops before being defeated by Azu.

At that time, Peter. Before Parker could awaken to become Spider-Man, he died at Martin's hands, and Azu would use a genetically modified capsule to make Gwen Spider-Man.

He nodded.

"Of course I do."

Gwen took another sip of the contents of the glass and said.

"After that battle, Osborne paid the Confederation to rebuild the city, and he contracted the harbor area."

"There was a cordon, and even journalists were not allowed to go in for interviews, and now the drug development site in Osborne is located near the port."

"At the beginning, I just thought Osborne's approach was a bit overbearing, but after all, people spend a lot of money to rebuild the city, and there is nothing wrong with being overbearing."

"But two years later, for some reason, I started investigating the Osborne Group and went into their drug development base, and from there, I found some clues."

"I believe that Osborne was not a benevolent person, but a purposeful rebuilding of the city."

"In addition, he contracted the reconstruction of the port area, and the construction of a research and development base near the port was also purposeful."

"What he found there, and it's because of that discovery that it made the city what it is."

Hearing Gwen say this, Azu was curious: "What did Osborne find in the harbor?" ”

Gwen shook her head, and she poured herself another glass of whiskey, sweat on her forehead as she drank it.

She lowered the collar of her trench coat slightly, and continued, "I don't know. ”

"That information is supposed to be classified, I've investigated it several times, and I can't find out what Osborne found back then, but in the relevant report, Osborne called that thing sample 0."

"Since then, Osben has developed a lot of drugs, and these drugs have performed well in clinical terms."

"There is even media propaganda that Osben will eradicate cancer."

"Also, I've found out that Osborne has made some shady deals with the Federation."

"The result of the deal is that the Federation has an additional special tactical team called the 'Sabertooth Tigers'."

"The members of that team all possess superhuman strength, speed, and stamina, and in short, they are super soldiers."

"I've fought against a few of them, and if there's only one, I can do it easily."

"If there are two, I'll have to spend some time and feet."

"If it's three, then I'm not sure I'll win."

"When there are five or more opponents, I have to run away."

"And the Green Elf Guard established by Osborne later, those members have almost this kind of strength, and I suspect that these super soldiers created by Osborne are the result of what he discovered in the harbor in the first place."

"It's the result of a study of sample 0."

Azu drank the wine in the cup: "In this way, Osborne is quite capable. ”

Norman. Osborne had been working on genetic drugs, but that was only due to the Osborne family's genetic diseases.

In the old Spider-Man movie, Norman. Osborne eventually found a solution to his genetic disease, but that made him have to equip the Green Elf Suit, and his mind split into an evil will.

However, the universe where Azu is now is is the Extraordinary Spider-Man universe, the Norman of this universe. Osborne didn't originally become a green goblin.

He had only done research on fighting genetic diseases and had developed the Green Elf suit, but he had not had time to use it to heal himself before he died.

But that's a movie.

In this universe, it was because of the arrival of Azu, which changed the plot and made Norman. Osborne was able to get rid of his genetic disease without the need for a suit.

But.

Osben must have invested a lot of resources in this area before, and Professor Lizard was trained by Norman. Osborne's commission to do research in this area, but in the end he just turned himself into a lizardman.

Now Norman. Osborne has been freed from the threat of genetic diseases, but it is entirely possible to use the results of previous research to develop a super-soldier potion.

As for what sample 0 Gwen mentioned, Azu has no clue at all.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Leaving aside Osborne's discovery, what happened to this city, how did it become Osborne, and what about those hunters who hunted legally. ”

Gwen exhaled, her face flushed, and said, "Osbourne is another result of a deal with the Federation, and after helping the Federation to form a special tactical team of 'Sabertooth Tigers', the Federation also delegated the governance of the city to the Normans. Osborne. ”

"I don't know if there are any other deals, I just know when Norman. When Osborne took over the city, he renamed it Osborne. ”

"On top of that, he named some important streets and buildings in the city after him or something about it, and he's a megalomaniac, isn't he?"

Azu laughed and said, "Not really. ”

Gwen continued: "After the founding of Osbourne, Norman, a madman, issued various decrees. ”

"First of all, he legalized crime, and what was once a criminal villain, now appears as a 'hunter'."

"As long as they have hunter credentials, they can legally 'hunt', and even the police can't stop them."

"So you can probably imagine why I became a wanted criminal because I broke the laws of Osbourne because I fought the 'hunters.'"

"I never dreamed that a city rebuilt from the ruins would eventually become a lawless city."

Azu raised his eyebrows and said, "This is crazy, the citizens will actually agree?" ”

"They're brainwashed."

Gwen shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Osborne employs a large number of psychologists, frantically advocates the legalization of crime, and the emergence of 'hunters', which helps to channel people's violent tendencies, is conducive to reducing the crime rate in the city, thereby reducing the pressure on the police system, prison system, etc." ”

At the same time, he promised that for those citizens who were 'hunted', Osben would select a number of lucky winners every week, every month, in the first quarter, every year.

"These lucky winners will be compensated 100 times the amount of money lost!"

"On the one hand, it was brainwashed and bombarded by the media, and on the other hand, it was a high reward, and soon, the residents of Osben accepted the appearance of hunters and the existence of hunting."

"Although the city of Osbourse has strict rules for hunters, such as only one or two 'hunting grounds' per week, hunters are only allowed to hunt in the hunting grounds, which is a crime if violated."

"In addition, there are certain places where hunting is not allowed at any time, such as Osbin and its subsidiaries and related institutions, and others are public relations places such as churches, banks, police stations, hospitals, etc."

"And Osborne stipulates that hunters are not allowed to hunt people with assets of more than 10 million, as well as police, lawyers, doctors, government personnel, etc."

"But even with this set of clear rules, only a madman can do it if he is legally committed."

Azu leaned back, and he smiled: "I guess, there are hunters, there should be people who hunt 'hunters', right?" ”

Gwen glanced at Azu in surprise: "You are so good, Mr. John, yes, but those guys who are called 'defenders' do not hunt hunters, but they can interfere with hunters and protect their employers. ”

"They can legally use violence, even lethal force, against a hunter if they threaten their employer."

Azu spread his hands and said, "Then why don't you become a 'defender', in this case, you can legally fight against the hunters?" ”

Gwen shook her head: "Although the inhabitants of the city have generally accepted this deformed system, there are some residents who resist it, but unfortunately, this part of the population is not wealthy, and they cannot afford to hire 'defenders'. ”

At the same time, Osborne was disgusted by these opponents, and although he did not express this sentiment publicly, he once declared that if they were hunted, even if they were selected by lottery, they would not receive any reward.

"Unless they sign the consent form."

"So, Mr. John, they need a pro bono protector."

"Yes, they need Spider-Man."

"Besides, to become a 'defender' requires a certificate of approval from Osborne, and given that I have hacked into the Osborne base and am wanted by them, I don't think Osborne will issue me a certificate."

Azu nodded, Gwen had a point, he would not persuade this woman to be a 'defender', everyone has the right to choose their own life.

If that's what he wants.

After drinking the third glass of whiskey, Gwen's face was already dripping red, and she stood up and said, "Mr. John, I want to change this city. ”

"But I can't do it on my own."

"Now you're back, I think"

Azu smiled and said, "No, I'm just a passerby, I won't stay here for long, I'll leave soon." ”

"I can't help much."

"The only people who can change this city are its inhabitants, don't you say?"

Gwen was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You're right, you've helped me so much and given me strength, I really can't ask for anything more from you." ”

"Even, I haven't repaid you for your help to me."

As she spoke, she straddled Azu's lap and exhaled a hot breath from her mouth.

Gwen breathed heavily: "Mr. John, don't you think the room is a little hot?" ”

Azu probably guessed what she wanted to do: "Yes, what do you suggest?" ”

Gwen bit her lip lightly, pulled the trench coat away, and then hugged Azu's neck and said, "My suggestion is that maybe we can go to the bedroom." ”

"Okay."

For this kind of good thing sent to the door, it would be too rude to refuse, and Azu directly picked up Gwen and walked into the bedroom.

Naturally, it was a good fight.

The master has made a move, pressing step by step.

You come and go, and both of them get to know each other better.

After the battle.

Gwen lay motionless on the bed, she looked at the ceiling and said, "Sorry, I've been stressed too much lately, but I don't want to be casual, so."

"It's okay, I don't hate this development."

"But it's not too early, I have to go back."

Azu got dressed and turned around and said, "I've been staying at the Green Goblin Hotel these days, if you're in trouble, you can come to the hotel to find me." ”

"However, only for a few days."

After saying that, Azu left.

He stepped back to the hotel in the morning light, took a shower, and fell asleep.

Although he basically doesn't need sleep anymore, he still likes it, and sleep allows him to find human sensations.

After more than two hours, Azu opened his eyes and heard the sound of the doorbell.

A moment later, Lin Aida's voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. John, guess who's coming, it's Mr. Osborne." ”

"Remember Mr. Osborne? We used to stay in his castle. ”

Of course Azu knew, after all, he had only talked to Gwen about him last night.

I didn't expect that I had only been here for two days, and Osborne would come to him.

But it's not surprising, he made such a big fuss last night, and as the manager of the city, it would be strange if Osborne didn't know he was here.

He sat up, put on his pajamas, and came to the hall.

In the hall, Osborne, dressed in a suit, smiled kindly and walked over with open arms.

"Mr. John, long time no see."

"I thought I was dazzled, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"It's great to see you again, Mr. John, and I've imagined this moment of reunion every day of all these years."

"I didn't expect it to finally come true today."

Azu laughed, did not refuse, and hugged old Osborne gently.

"You look good, Mr. Osborne."

"Even the city, now named after you, was shocked when I heard it."

The two saw each other very happily, as if they were really old friends goodbye, but both Azu and old Osborne had their own thoughts.

"Mr. John, don't worry, I've already taken care of yesterday's matter for you."

"I promise the police won't trouble you."

After the hug, old Osborne immediately asked Azu for 'credit', and he continued: "Of course, you won't care about this little thing, and I have to ask you to forgive me for making my own decisions." ”

Azu said perfunctorily: "Where, if I am wanted, I can't sleep in the hotel like now, and the police will arrest me a long time ago." ”

Old Osborne laughed dryly, and then said, "Mr. John, I wonder if I have the privilege of inviting you to my house?" ”

Azu smiled and said, "It's my honor, to be able to accept the invitation of Mr. Mayor, I'm too late to be happy." ”

Old Osborne was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately called bodyguards and asked them to escort Lin Aida, and he himself opened the door for Azu.

When Azu walked out, he found that the corridor was full of hotel personnel, and they all looked at Azu with shocked expressions.

After all, this is the man who asked old Osborne to visit him personally! (End of chapter)
