Chapter 52 Chips
“Mr. Harry Osborn, I am Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.…”

"I just went straight to the point and asked..."

Why did you kill William Stryker?

After entering the house, Nick Fury spoke first, briefly introducing himself before asking through gritted teeth.

As he asked the question, he stared intently at Harry with his single eye.

There were no beating around the bush, no probing, just a straight shot.

Last night, Coulson couldn't sleep a wink when he had the encrypted document Harry Osborne sent him.

The contents of the information are shocking.

Part of the evidence is that William Stryker secretly plotted to murder Harry Osborne.

The other part consisted of video footage that made his temples throb even more.

In the video, Harry Osborne, wearing the same suit of armor he wore in Las Vegas, single-handedly storms a heavily guarded military base and ultimately kills William Stryker.

"Chief Nick Fury, I think you've got one thing wrong."

"He broke the rules first."

"Since someone wants to overturn the table, I naturally don't mind giving him a hand and smashing the table even more."

Upon hearing this, Harry's lips curled into a faint smile.

He stretched out his finger and tapped the table lightly, making a soft knocking sound.

His tone was nonchalant, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.

"Do you even know what the consequences of this are?!"

“William Stryker wields considerable power and has intricate connections with the military and Congress!”
You're playing with fire!

"One wrong move could lead to a full-scale war between humans and mutants! Can you bear that responsibility?!"

Nick Fury suddenly raised his voice, and a terrifying aura burst forth from his single eye, like an enraged lion.

Coulson stood to the side, barely daring to breathe; the chief's anger was not something anyone could withstand.

"Alright, Director Nick."

Harry Osborne remained unmoved.
"It's pointless to use such a big label to intimidate people."

He leaned slightly forward, his eyes sharp.

"Since I dared to send those things to you, I naturally already considered the aftermath."

“I know that the higher-ups need William Stryker, or rather, they need a flag that can restrain mutants.”

"I am equally capable of doing this job."

Moreover, I can assure you, I will do a better job than William Stryker.

The anger in Nick Fury's eyes gradually subsided, and his single eye narrowed, gleaming with shrewdness.

This kid is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

His previous anger was both a genuine expression of emotion and a means of exerting pressure.

It now appears that the other side not only caught the attack but also turned the tables on them.

"Oh?"

"You sound very confident."

So, are you willing to hand over that set of 'little toys' you're wearing?

Nick Fury's tone returned to calm, even with a hint of amusement.

"The version I'm wearing is impossible."

Harry refused decisively.

"Leaving aside the fact that its core technology involves some classified information, the manufacturing cost alone makes it impossible to mass-produce easily."

"but……"

Harry abruptly changed the subject, picked up a tablet from under the table, the screen lit up, and casually swiped it toward Nick Fury.

"I have another option here, which might be of interest to you."

Nick Fury took the tablet, somewhat surprised.

The other side was actually prepared?

He looked down and saw a detailed product introduction displayed on the screen.

"Symbiotic armor?"

According to the above description, this is a type of individual combat equipment based on biotechnology.

According to the description, this suit can deeply integrate with the user, greatly enhancing various bodily functions—strength, speed, endurance, reaction speed, and recovery ability can all be amplified several times over. Simply put, once you wear it, you're basically a miniature Captain America…

Moreover, what caught Nick Fury's attention even more was that this type of armor also had a modular loading function.

By combining Osborn Corporation's biofusion experiments, it is possible to endow various organisms with the abilities they possess.

The introduction lists a "deep-sea diving module," which is a product of combining it with the genes of a deep-sea fish.

Once equipped, the user can obtain oxygen directly from the water, and the suit can greatly enhance resistance to water pressure, allowing them to move freely in the deep sea.

Most importantly, because it is a bio-integrated device, it does not impose any additional burden on the user; it is as if it were part of the user's body.

This thing...

Nick Fury took a deep breath, and with his top-notch strategic vision, he almost instantly recognized the enormous potential of this equipment.

If this information is accurate, its strategic value is immeasurable!

The only problem...

What is the cost of this thing?

Nick Fury looked up, his one eye fixed on Harry Osborn.

No matter how good something is, if the cost is too high to be acceptable, it will only be a mirage.

"Depending on the configuration, the price of a single unit ranges from $100,000 to $1 million."

Harry Osborne smiled and calmly quoted the price.

"Huh? How much?!"

Even with Nick Fury's composure, he almost thought he had misheard when he heard this offer.

"so cheap?"

He blurted it out almost without thinking.

Are you kidding me?
Although he doesn't understand technology, he has a lot of experience in negotiating collaborations with high-tech companies.

Shouldn't such cutting-edge technology equipment cost hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars per set?
Between $100,000 and $1 million?

Compared to the effects described above, isn't it dirt cheap?

"This is where the advantage of biotechnology lies."

Harry Osborne seemed pleased with Nick Fury's reaction, he explained.

"It does not require complex precision factories or long production lines."

Once the initial gene sequence design and prototype cultivation are complete, subsequent production only requires providing sufficient nutrients to specific biological cells, enabling it to self-replicate and proliferate.

"Moreover, the maintenance and upkeep of this equipment is quite simple."

Because it is a biological implant, it has a certain self-repairing ability.

Under normal circumstances, providing the equipped individuals with some extra high-energy food each day is sufficient.

"Of course, if you want to maintain the best performance of the implant or unleash its greater potential, our Osborn Group will also provide specially formulated nutrient solutions for even better results."

Harry shrugged. In fact, the core of this system is the bio-computer-based bio-computer control unit.

The actual cost is lower than he said, and that's where the advantage of biotechnology lies...

"Director Nick, this offer should be enough to shut those guys up, right?"

This was his backup plan.

On the X-Men's side, he has reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Wolverine, Cyclops, and others, and the mutant issue has been temporarily stabilized.

For the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., this cost-effective symbiote suit was the bargaining chip he offered.

Of course, there is a deeper purpose behind this.

Within S.H.I.E.L.D., however, lurks the massive cancer of Hydra.

He didn't believe that the Hydra agents hiding in the shadows wouldn't be tempted by such useful and cheap equipment.

Once they mass-produce these armors, hmph...

He still remembers the debt of having the Winter Soldier sent to assassinate him...

Nick Fury remained silent for a moment, his single eye flashing continuously.

Finally, he slowly extended his hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

He really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

The premise is that this symbiotic suit is really as magical as described in the product description.
