chapter 51

Harry hid on the second floor, watching his contented father below. The fear in his heart gradually subsided. Two days ago, he had discovered his father tinkering with something in the secret room. In order to show off, Harry had added some other ingredients to the potion.

Instead of receiving his father's praise, he had caused a big explosion. Just as he thought he had messed up, Norman let out a burst of laughter and put on the Green Goblin armor, rushing out of the mansion.

Since he was a child, he had been treated poorly by his father because of his role in his mother's death. Throughout these years, Harry had constantly sought his father's approval. To gain his attention, Harry had been self-destructive, but Norman, engrossed in his research, hadn't noticed his son's transformation.

Harry looked at the figure leaning against the sofa and finally couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart. He said in a deep voice, "Father, since you hate me so much, why did you raise me and watch me grow up?"

Norman, who had just ended his rampage, was startled by the sudden voice. When he turned around and saw it was Harry, he felt relieved. He didn't want his identity to be discovered. Looking at Harry's stubborn face, Norman fell silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"Your grandfather once developed a serum that could enhance the brain and body, but it had strong side effects and could be inherited..."

Norman paused for a moment, remembering his own youthful arrogance. His tone softened as he continued, "I have been researching how to solve these side effects all these years. I didn't tell you to avoid burdening you. But now everything has changed. I have developed an antidote, although it has some side effects, it can effectively suppress the hereditary disease."

At the same time, the television started playing footage of Norman's recent destructive acts in the city. Harry's mouth twitched as he watched the various antics of Norman on the screen. Norman, sitting on the sofa, felt a slight heat in his cheeks. Previously, before his identity was revealed, he could pretend to be indifferent and comment on the Green Goblin's actions with his son. But now he just wanted to dig a hole with his toes.

"Cough, cough, I think this antidote can be improved!" Norman casually picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. He stood up, patted Harry's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, go rest! I still have research to do."

After Norman left, Harry slowly came back to his senses. He remembered the scenes where he had taken drugs recklessly in the past without dying. He understood that it must have been the serum's effect. Hesitating for a few seconds, Harry decided to confess to his father about what he had added to the laboratory.

Upon learning the situation, Norman's eyes flashed with surprise, and a smug smile appeared on his lips. He patted Harry's shoulder forcefully and said in a low voice, "It seems that this antidote is destined to be developed by the two of us, father and son!"

A glimmer of joy flashed across Harry's face. This was the first time he had been acknowledged by his father. Suddenly, he felt a closer connection between them. At the same time, Peter Parker was struggling with his own changes. Since he was accidentally bitten by a spider during a school trip to the research lab at Columbia University, his body had been experiencing various problems.

This made Peter, who was about to finish high school and enter college, feel despair. The appearance of these abilities only worsened his already unfavorable situation. His inner kindness and self-doubt made his life extremely torturous. It wasn't until he saw Mary Jane, who illuminated his soul, being picked up by the rich boy who often bullied him in a Porsche that his mood began to change.

Flipping through a second-hand car newspaper, Peter was drawn to an underground boxing advertisement. He could earn three thousand dollars by participating for just three minutes. That money would be enough for him to buy a cheap used car.

Thinking of Mary Jane's smile, Peter decided to participate in the match. Although he hadn't tested his own strength, he had confidence in his reflexes to last for three minutes. Peter filled out the registration form and dropped it into the mailbox. An hour later, he drew a design sketch of a red and blue costume with a black spider emblem on the chest. Satisfied, Peter nodded and began preparing to make the suit.

After dinner, Yi Hu sat alone on the sofa, waiting for Jessica to come back. Since she joined S.H.I.E.L.D., she had been living a year-round, early morning to late night, non-stop life as an agent. Jessica seemed to find this kind of life fulfilling, and during lunch, she called to say she would come back and stay for one night.

At half past ten in the night, with a crisp sound of the door opening, Jessica instinctively pressed the switch nearby. Then she exclaimed, "Why are you sitting alone in the living room without turning on the lights in the middle of the night!"

Yi Hu calmly looked at Jessica's trembling figure and said in a flat tone, "When do you plan to end this game of playing house?"

"Boss! How many times have I told you, this is a job that allows me to help more people in need!" Jessica's eyes shimmered with a touch of longing. In the past, she had been controlled by the Purple Man and done many bad things. She believed that surviving the car accident that claimed the lives of her parents and brother was a punishment from God!

It wasn't until Nick Fury opened a new door for her that Jessica realized she could use her superpowers to help those in distress. The previous battle had convinced her of Nick Fury's theory that the Earth was not safe, and she had convinced Matt and Luke to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight for all mankind.

Listening to Jessica's words, Yi Hu silently mourned for Matt and Luke for three seconds. Nick Fury's desire for control was too strong. He always wanted to hold everything in his hands without considering whether he had the ability. After hesitating for a second, Yi Hu stood up, opened a spatial portal in front of him, and turned his head to Jessica, saying, "Follow me, I have prepared some Christmas gifts for you."

Without hesitation, Jessica followed Yi Hu into the spatial portal. She trusted that he wouldn't harm her. Looking at the busy lab, Jessica's face showed a hint of confusion, but she obediently followed Yi Hu to a room.

"There are some equipment here. Choose something you like for self-defense!" Yi Hu pointed to the energy weapons behind him in a calm tone. Jessica approached and picked up a giant energy gun, casting a questioning look. Yi Hu then pointed to a nearby room and said softly, "You can test its power over there."

Jessica nodded and picked up a few items before walking towards the adjacent room. Yi Hu slowly approached Ivan Vanko and took out the dusty Tesseract from his backpack, saying in a low voice, "This thing is said to be a power source. Take it and study it carefully."

"Yes, Boss!"

Ivan reached out and took the Tesseract, bowing to Yi Hu. The nearby leader, feeling a bit embarrassed, approached Yi Hu after finishing his business and said, "Boss, we need to expand the space of the research facility..."

immersed in the development of his intelligence, spent his days delving into the sea of knowledge, unknowingly conducting numerous experiments that filled up the space in this secret base. Yi Hu sighed as he looked at the filled rooms and summoned the Skull Island creature.

"Roar!"

The excited look on the Skull Island creature's face, thinking there was a fight, as it raised its battle axe, but three minutes later, with a numb expression, it began digging new space below. Stern sat on his homemade aircraft, commanding the assistant robot made by Ivan to transport the soil.
