Chapter 55 Hulk Cells

Harry Osborn remained calm as he listened to Bruce Banner's slightly weary narration.

The events unfolded much like the plot of the movie he remembered.

It's simply that Dr. Bruce Banner suffered an accident during a gamma ray experiment, and his body was affected by a huge amount of gamma radiation, which gave him the ability to transform into the Hulk when he was angry.

His father-in-law was none other than General Ross, known for his tough style.

General Ross views the Hulk as an extremely dangerous monster and a national asset, relentlessly hunting him down in an attempt to weaponize him.

"So, General Ross has always considered you to be... well, a controllable weapon?"

Harry stroked his chin and asked thoughtfully.

"In his eyes, perhaps this is the only value."

Banner gave a wry smile and nodded.

“I am very interested in the changes that have occurred in your body, Dr. Banner.”

"The Osborne Group has the world's most advanced biotechnology laboratories and research teams."

If you'd like, I sincerely invite you to join us in exploring the secrets within you.

Perhaps we can find a way to control or even solve your problem.

Harry nodded upon hearing this and extended an invitation directly to Banner.

“Mr. Harry, thank you very much for your kindness. However… given my current situation, the military is pursuing me with all its might. Moreover, I… I am prone to losing control, and I am afraid I might cause trouble for the Osborne Corporation.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest crossed Banner's eyes, but it quickly faded away.

“Bruce, this might be an opportunity! Mr. Osborne is an authority in this field; he might actually be able to help you!”

Betty Ross, Banner's girlfriend, seemed even more excited than Banner himself. She turned around and held Banner's hand tightly, her eyes filled with hope.

"Dr. Banner need not worry too much about military matters."

Osborne Group has a long-standing and deep partnership with the military, particularly in the fields of biotechnology and individual soldier equipment.

I think I still have some say in this matter.

At the very least, getting them to temporarily halt their pursuit of you and provide you with a safe environment to conduct your research shouldn't be too difficult.

Harry noticed Bruce Banner's concerns, smiled slightly, and said in a relaxed tone.

These words are not false.

The symbiote implantation project is currently a hot commodity in the eyes of the military, and even if General Ross is stubborn, he has to consider the consequences of offending the Osborn Group.

Moreover, a living Dr. Banner who can cooperate with the research is far more valuable than a Hulk corpse or an uncontrollable berserk monster.

"Bruce, say yes!"

Betty's voice carried a hint of pleading.

She knew all too well the suffering Banner had endured during his years of hiding, and she longed for him to live a normal life.

Looking into his girlfriend's expectant eyes and then at the resolute expression on Harry Osborn's face, Bruce Banner's heart finally began to tip.

Taking a deep breath, he solemnly said:

“Mr. Harry, if... if it really is as you say, I would like to join the Osborne Group.”

Regardless of the outcome, I am very grateful for the opportunity you have given me.

“A wise choice, Dr. Banner.”

Harry reached out his hand,
"Welcome to join us."

“Thank you, Mr. Osborn.” Banner grasped Harry’s hand tightly.

……

The next morning.

S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Director's office.

Nick Fury looked at the front page of the latest newspaper, which prominently featured a report on the street battle in New York last night. Although it had been "embellished" by the authorities, the ferocity of the battle was still evident between the lines.

He put down the newspaper, rubbed his throbbing temples, and fell silent.

Coulson had given him a detailed report on what happened last night, including Harry Osborn's sudden appearance and his recruitment of Bruce Banner.

"That Harry Osborn... he really never gives me a moment's peace."

Fury muttered to himself, but in hindsight, it might not be such a bad thing.

Thus, with Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., working behind the scenes, and Harry Osborn's current highly sought-after status in the eyes of the military, things have changed.

Although General Ross was unwilling, he ultimately backed down and suspended the public manhunt for Bruce Banner.

The military leadership was happy to give Harry face.

Just as Harry had predicted, even if they captured the Hulk, it would be difficult for the military to research anything of value with their current technological capabilities.

It's more reliable to leave professional matters to professionals.

Thus, Dr. Bruce Banner, the former most wanted criminal in the military, dramatically joined the Osborn Group and became an important researcher under Harry, specializing in research on gamma rays and their effects on organisms.

Of course, in exchange, Harry also successfully obtained another type of super cell besides mutants—the Hulk's cells.

This was absolutely the most powerful and peculiar cell he had ever received.

Under a microscope, these cells do not appear to be much different from regular human cells on their surface.

However, once they sense external threats, these cells unleash tremendous energy, releasing large amounts of gamma radiation and causing drastic changes in the host's appearance—turning green and becoming extremely bloated.

Even more surprisingly, these cells have an almost abnormal tolerance to gamma radiation; they are not only not killed by high-intensity gamma rays, but are also able to absorb huge amounts of radiation energy.

As for the source of its power, it does not seem to be simply cellular metabolism, but rather achieved through some unknown means that Harry cannot yet understand.

With his current technical skills, he is not yet able to fully understand the underlying principles.

But this did not prevent Harry from making initial use of these cells.

He keenly realized that the Hulk cells' ability to generate enormous energy almost out of nothing, if combined with Sebastian Shaw's ability to absorb and convert energy...

A bold idea took shape in his mind.

His next project is to try to combine these two powerful cellular capabilities to create a brand new super power core that can power itself and convert and absorb external energy!
If this project succeeds, the performance of the next generation of X-armor will see an unimaginable leap forward!
And so, amidst the intense yet well-organized research, another month quietly passed.

The various research projects led by Harry, as well as the Osborn Group's collaborative project with the military on symbiote implants, are all progressing steadily and systematically.

The whole world seemed to be immersed in the calm before the storm.

until a certain day.

A sudden news story, like a bombshell, quickly made headlines in major media outlets around the world.

Tony Stark, the billionaire inventor, genius inventor, and head of Stark Industries, who had been missing for several months, has miraculously returned!

Furthermore, upon his return, he immediately held a press conference to announce a major decision that was closely related to the future of Stark Industries.

That is, he will personally shut down the cornerstone of Stark Industries' success—the weapons manufacturing division…
