In fact, since the Foundation's setting had been introduced, Ryan couldn't just act as if it never came up.
"Modern human beings have been reproducing on Earth for 300,000 years, and only the last 4,000 years were meaningful."
Lowering his voice, Borsalino restrained his relaxed expression and used a serious tone to attract the attention of the people at the harbor.
"So, what have we been doing for nearly 250,000 years? We hid in caves, sat around small campfires, and feared things we didn't understand -- like how the sun rises, creatures with bird heads and human bodies, and living stones. So, we called them 'gods' and 'demons' and prayed to them for forgiveness and salvation."
"After that, their numbers decreased and ours increased. As we feared fewer things, we began to look at the world more rationally. However, unexplainable things didn't disappear, as if the universe deliberately wanted to appear absurd and unbelievable."

"Like the Flying Dutchman?"
At those words, Tony couldn't help but speak up.
Steve remained silent, his expression darkening as Borsalino's words reminded him of the stone-mask thing he had encountered before, the evil force that turned people into vampires. 'Was that also a containment item?'
Fury listened expressionlessly to everything, and Borsalino's last sentence easily reminded him of the power represented by the Tesseract. As he said, it was absurd and unbelievable, and it was also fascinating.
"Humanity cannot live in fear anymore. Nothing can protect us, we must protect ourselves. While others live in the sun, we must fight in the shadows and prevent them from being exposed to the public, so that others can live in a rational and normal world. Therefore, the Foundation was established, and we operate in the darkness all over the world with the goal of containing anomalous items, individuals, and phenomena. Maintain normalcy so that civilians around the world can survive and avoid falling into fear, suspicion, or loss of faith."
"It sounds like a heroic organization in a movie."
Tony raised his eyebrows, not knowing whether to say it with a sigh or mockery.
He didn't believe that there could be such a great organization in this world that fought purely for human survival.
"To be honest, I don't really believe in that idea either," surprisingly, Borsalino also expressed the same view as Tony, "However, these were left by those guys who founded the Foundation. As descendants, we can only follow the wishes of our predecessors."
"Is this world really as dangerous as you say?" Banner raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to adjust the glasses on his face, but found that his glasses were long gone. He awkwardly withdrew his hand and asked Borsalino.
"I don't think I need to explain this. You guys should know better than me," Borsalino smirked, revealing a faint smile. With his appearance, he always gave people a creepy feeling.
" In fact, thanks to the battle in which the Avengers participated in New York, everything was brought to light, which made the Foundation's actions much more free and no longer needed to be done in secret."
Borsalino said, turning away. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked back and said, "By the way, the Foundation is not the only organization that carries out containment, in fact, quite a few opportunists, or lucky people, also tried to adapt or use the power of containment objects for their own purposes."
In the next second, he turned into a yellow light and disappeared from of everyone's view.
...
"Is that also the power of a containment object?" Looking at Borsalino's last position and remembering his last words, the Avengers had different expressions.
"Guys, how much do you believe in what that guy had said?"
After a moment of silence, Tony spoke up, looking at the Avengers.
"At the very least, the anomalies he mentioned should actually exist."
"For example, the Flying Dutchman is right in front of our eyes before," Banner replied.
"If everything he said is true, then the future will be even worse than we expected." Steve said, looking at the sea that was covered by the dissipating fog and the last location of the vanished ship, with a solemn expression.
"I don't think the current situation is all that great either," Clint quipped, looking down at the bow and arrows in his hand.
Either way, it was dangerous for him.
...
"Alright, I'm done talking, who's for it and who's against it?"
Harry's cold gaze swept over the members of the board of directors of Oscorp.
The type II Super Soldier serum left by Norman Osborn in his secret laboratory successfully cured Harry's hereditary disease, the Retroviral Hypodysplasia, but also changed his originally weak personality. He wore the half-finished battle suit left by Norman Osborn in Oscorp and became the new Green Goblin.
"..."
Faced with Harry's question, the high-level executives of the board of directors remained silent.
Donald Menken, who had opposed him, died in an accident, but the members of the board didn't think it was as simple as an accident. Even if there was no evidence, everything happened too coincidentally, and even they could connect the dots.
"Very good."
Looking at the board of directors who were as quiet as lambs in front of him, Harry nodded in satisfaction, "Since none of you object, then the individual battle suit project will restart from now on." Starting the individual battle suit project again was Harry's first plan in taking revenge against Spider-Man.
After months of investigation, Harry had already found out that his father died in a battle with Spider-Man.
With Harry's departure, Oscorp's members of the board, in the conference room, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Director Osborn."
As Harry stepped out of the conference room, his secretary, who had been waiting for him quickly approached him, "I found some clues on the alien weapons you've been asking me to search for."
