Chapter 116 A Visit from .
Since the attack on the courthouse, the criminals seem to have disappeared again.
These days, Peter never heard any news about the Green Goblin.
Not only that, Storm also lost the case completely, and all his property was used to compensate Norman Osborn for his losses.
Norman immediately handed most of his wealth to Bant.
"This is what it means to be a loser eating dust."
After receiving the money, Bant smiled and turned to Connors and said, "The loser will lose everything, while the winner will eat up the loser's body and grow stronger!"
"Laws of Nature."
Connors didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
He studies reptiles, and in nature, the law of the jungle is the most basic principle. Instead of sympathizing with that guy Storm, it would be more important to think of a way to get Bant to allocate more of the money to his project.
"You're wrong, Dr. Connors." Bant shook his head.
"The real important thing is that you have now restored your identity and reputation. In a few days, Norman will hold a press conference to announce that he has found you and that, with the joint efforts of Osborne and Primus, you have been completely cured. Then you will be able to see the light of day again."
Hearing this, Connors nodded.
In fact, he doesn't like going out very much, but after all, he has a wife and children, and it is always a good thing to restore his reputation.
On the other hand, Peter, who couldn't sit still, decided to go to Hell's Kitchen after wandering around Queens for several days.
But compared to the calmness of other parts of New York, Hell's Kitchen is much busier these days.
Various gang fights continue.
At night, the sound of gunfire continued as if it was New Year's Day.
Even Peter was shocked by this scene. He found a way to contact Daredevil and learned what had happened.
"It is said that Kingpin killed Green Goblin in order to keep the serum for himself, which led to a conflict between him and the Hand," Matt explained.
In fact, he only has a vague understanding of it.
But no matter what, the Hand broke up with Kingpin again because of this incident, the two sides fought each other happily, and the gang forces in Hell's Kitchen began a major purge again.
However, when it comes down to it, the ones whose interests are truly harmed are not Jin Bing or the Shuai, but the gangs of all sizes that they are involved in.
The dog-eat-dog fight between villains has nothing to do with Peter and Daredevil.
On the contrary, Peter was relieved when he learned that the Green Goblin was killed by Kingpin.
The following days were not so eventful.
Peter continues to hang around New York, Daredevil punishes evil in Hell's Kitchen, and Bant is waiting for the World's Fair to arrive.
"I wonder what Tony is doing?"
Just when Bant was thinking that waiting like this was getting a bit boring, a guest came.
Pepper Potts never thought that the address of Primus Technology, which became famous together with the Osborne Group some time ago, would be located in such a small place.
The location here is remote, the buildings are old, and they don’t even have a building of their own!
Not to mention her, even the people who were accompanying her found it unbelievable.
“It’s hard to imagine that this is where the self-healing serum was invented.”
Coulson stood under the building and said in amazement. His gaze shifted to the other side and he could see the magnificent Hammer Industries standing like a pillar among a group of not-so-tall houses, like the moon surrounded by stars.
"In fact, no one thought that the self-healing potion was invented by this small company called Primus. Everyone has investigated its background. One of the founders of the company is Harry Osborn. Obviously, this is something that Norman Osborn created to avoid taxes or for other reasons." Pepper said.
Now that she is the CEO of the powerful Stark Group, theoretically, even if Primus has become a rising star company, she would not be asked to come in person.
But there was no way. All the resumes submitted by the agents, including Natasha, fell into the sea without any ripples. Primus was like an impenetrable fortress defending against all peepers. They needed someone who was capable of breaking down the wall.
Coulson was desperate and found Pepper.
Faced with the person who had saved her and Natasha, who had once been her secretary, Pepper felt embarrassed to refuse.
But she still remained skeptical of Primos: "I have met Norman Osborn. He would never put the real secrets in a place like this. The Osborn Group is his lifeblood."
"Our agents have searched the Osborn Group, but found nothing." Coulson shook his head.
Osborn is different from Primus. If this huge group wants to operate, it must recruit employees. In this case, no matter how cautious Norman is, it is impossible to isolate all the agents.
In addition, because of the Green Goblin incident, he was somewhat tied up, which created an opportunity for the agents.
It can be said that the reason why SHIELD did not get involved in the last trial of the Green Goblin was because they put more energy on the self-healing potion.
After all, whether it's the Lizard Serum or the Green Goblin Serum, the side effects are too great, and SHIELD simply doesn't care about them.
Whether it is Hydra or Nick Fury, they all know that their own super soldier serum has actually made progress a long time ago, and even many agents have been injected with it. Although it is not as perfect as Captain America, the advantage is that there are almost no side effects.
Isn't this better than the lizard serum that turns you into a monster?
In their opinion, a power that cannot be controlled is better destroyed directly!
In comparison, the self-healing serum is different. Captain America is the most qualified person to speak about how useful this thing is. It can even bring you back from the brink of death. In a sense, at least if injected in time, it is almost equivalent to a resurrection drug.
Of course, Captain America has strong self-healing abilities, so the effect is not so significant for ordinary people.
But it is obvious that Osborne has another trick up his sleeve, or even many tricks up his sleeve.
The self-healing serum on the market today is obviously not at the same level as the serum that Norman Osborn used on himself at the press conference.
Coulson had reason to suspect that Norman was hiding something good.
Maybe it's an enhanced version of the healing potion, or something else?
For example - spider potion?
Through the information, it is not difficult to find out that the Osborne Group studied spiders in the early years. To this day, specially made spider silk products are still one of Osborne's pillar industries.
Considering the two Spider-Men that appeared during this period, the first one was okay, but the second one only appeared once and disappeared after defeating the Green Goblin. SHIELD has reason to suspect that they are the products of the Osborn Group.
Hearing this, Pepper frowned and said:
"I finally understand why Tony doesn't like you."
She shook her head.
For Tony, what he hates most is thieves who try to steal his intellectual property. Not long ago, he angrily confronted a congressman at a hearing.
And now he has to do the same thing for SHIELD.
"You misunderstood Miss Pepper." Coulson shook his head and said, "We don't want to steal their technology. It's just that Osman invented something as dangerous as the lizard serum. We need to do some risk assessment on Primos Technology and the mysterious founder behind it."
Pepper didn't say anything, but rang Primus's doorbell.
Including the driver Happy, a total of four people appeared in front of Bant.
Although Bant was a little surprised, fortunately, Eunice had already reminded him when they entered the building.
Now, all the company's secrets are sealed, even Connors, who has disappeared from public view.
In comparison, it was Pepper who was more surprised. She never dreamed that the boss of Primos was actually a young child.
Coulson and Natasha were not surprised. They were well prepared when they came, and investigating the registrant of a company and other information was no problem at all.
Bant reached out his hand to Pepper, shook it lightly, and then released it:
"Ms. Pepper Potts, CEO of Stark Industries. I didn't expect you to be here. Who are these people?"
"Um, my driver and...assistant." Pepper replied slightly embarrassedly, "I didn't expect you to be so young."
"Assistant?" Bant raised his eyebrows, glanced at Natasha meaningfully, and said, "I'm afraid your assistant is not so honest. I saw her submitting a resume to my mailbox a few days ago."
Hearing this, Pepper, who was already embarrassed, was about to dig her toes out of the room with her high heels. But Natasha and Coulson were smiling as if nothing had happened.
It has to be said that when it comes to shamelessness, even the CEO of a large company cannot compare to Black Widow.
Although he knew that SHIELD must have their own little tricks, Bant still invited them in.
Nick Fury wants to contact him, and Bant actually also has the idea of contacting SHIELD.
The last time he went to Sakaar, he didn't meet any Skrulls, which was somewhat of a pity. He was still very interested in the Skrulls' genetic ability to transform.
As soon as they entered the door, Coulson and Natasha couldn't help but look around.
What catches the eye are all silver-white facilities. Primos is now very small in scale. It is more like a small laboratory than a company.
Such a small place is divided into several areas.
"What would you like to drink, coffee?" Bant asked.
"Thank you." Several people nodded, thinking that Bant was quite polite.
Taking advantage of the moment when Bant left, Natasha and Coulson quickly looked around, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
After a while, Bant brought over a few empty paper cups, stuffed them into their hands, and then gave each of them a stick of instant coffee.
"The boiling water is over there, go and pour it yourself."
Bant pointed to the water dispenser nearby.
Everyone:? ? ?
Pepper turned her head to look at Coulson, then put the paper cup in her hand aside with some embarrassment and said, "Mr. Parker, I'm here to invite you to the Stark World Expo."
"But the exhibition is next month, right?"
Bant put his hands on his hips. He wanted to see what Pepper could come up with.
However, the other party was obviously prepared and said, "It's like this. Because it involves the division of venues and areas, we need to take you to have a look first and consult about the product projects displayed by your company."
This is true.
Even Stark Industries has to be cautious about a company like Primos that is currently attracting so much attention.
It would be a bit of a misnomer if even companies like Osborne and Primus, which invented the self-healing serum, were not present at the so-called World Expo.
It might be better to change it to an industrial expo.
Of course, Bant knew that this was just an excuse. At least the real purpose of SHIELD was probably to find out what new products he might launch next.
Perhaps they thought that Primos' next product would still be in the field of biotechnology or medicine.
But to their surprise, after hearing what Pepper said, Bant took a step to the left and revealed a car behind him.
It is not an old broken car, but a new product that has been transformed and is a product that is truly intended for the general public.
"This is it."
"car?"
Coulson was stunned.
He couldn't understand why Primus was displaying a car at the fair.
“I thought Primos was a medical technology business,” he said.
"That's a one-sided view. In fact, we are also involved in the communications industry and have cooperated with Oracle." Bant pointed to the phone in Pepper's hand, "This is our product."
As for Oracle, it is a translation company.
"Primos Technologies has never intended to develop in just a single field. We have scientists from all walks of life," Bant said with a smile.
"Various scientists?"
Natasha glanced at the company, which was empty except for Bant, and made a confused sound, as if to say: Where?
"There will be."
Bant said with a smile.
Then he took out a remote control and motioned for the others to step back slightly: "The theme of the science and technology expo has always been the future. I remember that in the last century, Howard Stark once proposed the idea of an anti-gravity car."
"You did it?" Natasha raised her eyebrows.
"Not completely." Bant pressed the button, and in an instant, the car's tires flattened out, the center of the axle opened, and layers of ripples released downward, distorting the air.
In an instant, the car floated up.
"I used a sonic suspension system, which can reach a maximum suspension height of 100 meters and is extremely stable. The car's shell is made of titanium alloy, just like Iron Man's armor, so its safety is guaranteed."
Several people were stunned.
No one could have imagined that Bant would turn Howard Stark's idea into reality.
If this continues, won't it be possible that in a few years, cars on Earth will fly in the sky over cities like in science fiction novels?
Seeing his look, Bant couldn't help laughing and mentioned it specially.
"Of course, considering that some people prefer retro styles, I think we will also accept a certain degree of modification business and add this function to some old cars."
Coulson's eyes suddenly lit up.
You know, he is the one that Bant mentioned, the one with retro hobbies, old records, cars...even his idol is an old popsicle from seventy years ago.
