Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 71 Preparing for Operation

"So, I'm just here to be a porter?" Frank asked helplessly.

"Hey buddy, this is a secret operation, I can only talk to you." Link patted Frank on the shoulder. "Get the stuff home first, then I'll buy you a drink."

"Okay!" Frank knew that Link trusted him, so he didn't ask what it was. After all, Link was a secret agent, and it was in line with his profession to deal with something mysterious.

The two returned to Link's house. Link put his things in the study, and then came out to get a bottle of good wine.

The two went up to the rooftop, lay down on the deck chairs, smoked cigars and drank alcohol, and chatted about Frank's current life. Link took this opportunity to give Frank some psychological therapy.

After Frank left, Link began to look at the technical documents left by Richard Parker. These were complete research and development documents, which Link could see very clearly.

However, to cure Norman Osborn, new spiders need to be bred, which will take time. Link must obtain his blood as soon as possible.

Link wasn't in a hurry; instead, he racked his brains and prepared to find a new way to treat Norman Osborn.

He was reluctant to let the other party possess great power, as it would be difficult to control and would require him to reveal his own strength, which was something Link was unwilling to do.

Ideally, after treating Norman Osborn, he should remain a normal person, with only his genetic disease being treated.

With sufficient knowledge and Richard Parker's information, Link was confident in developing a new data solution. Since he didn't have a laboratory available, he had to rent one.

I did some research online and found that such labs can only be found at universities. Most large corporations and private labs have their own projects, and universities certainly do too, but they have more labs, and some of them can be rented out.

He contacted a university in New York directly, which could provide experimental materials and mice. Link could go there during the day, but had to leave at night.

There are other laboratories here, and Link is an outsider. He absolutely cannot stay at night to prevent him from stealing data from the other laboratories.

Link didn't mind that; he only needed to conduct some experiments. Although the rent was very high, Link wasn't short of money right now.

He immersed himself in experiments, searching for patients with genetic diseases in some hospitals, extracting their genes for research, and soon he came up with the latest treatment plan.

Treatment involves modifying the patient's genes, an improved approach developed through Richard Parker's research.

In just one month, Link finally realized the power of the super brain. It would be a waste not to use Superman, but he would make good use of it.

……

"Frank, come with me today!" Around nine o'clock in the morning, Link and Jessica arrived at the underground parking lot, and Link called out to Frank.

"Oh, you paid me for being a bodyguard, and now you want me to do an extra job as a porter?" Frank asked with a smile.

"Okay, no bodyguards for today, but I'll give you the movers' wages, paid daily!" Link joked.

"Never mind, forget I said anything." Frank looked embarrassed, then got into Link's car.

The Rolls-Royce started up first, and McCall drove Jessica to work, while Link then drove off.

"You'll be sticking with me these next few days; we're going to keep an eye on someone!" Link said. "Norman Osborn!"

"Huh?" Frank was taken aback. "A special agent mission?"

"No, it's a personal matter. I'm preparing to take control of the Osborn Group, and I need to start with Norman Osborn," Link said.

Frank looked at Link in surprise and asked, "You're going to kidnap him?"

Link rolled his eyes and said, "The Osborn family has a genetic disease, and I have a cure. I've already tested it and treated a few people."

"This type of case is very rare, and there is currently no specific treatment. However, my treatment method is very effective and I guarantee a cure."

Frank suddenly realized and said, "That's feasible!"

Link said, "There are conditions to treating him. The situation at the Osborn Group is not good right now, and his position as CEO is not secure."

"So I approached him to collaborate and find a way to cause Osborne Group's stock price to plummet. As far as I know, the military should cancel their collaboration with them."

"Osborne Group also has many problems, so its stock price is easy to drive down, and then I will short it."

"In the end, I will make a last-ditch acquisition, partner with Norman Osborn, and take more than 51 percent of the shares, while Norman Osborn will continue to be his CEO."

Frank asked curiously, "If you love making money so much, why did you become a secret agent?"

"Who told you I like making money?" Link replied steadily as he drove. "I'm not in it for the money, I'm in it for status."

"Look at Tony Stark, everyone wants his Iron Man suit, but would anyone dare to steal it?"

"Even national power won't do; this is the kind of status I want, and the Osborne Group's diversified investments are a perfect fit for me in this regard."

"Once the Osborn Corporation's market value exceeds two hundred billion, then I will have the same status as Tony Stark, understand?"

"Oh~" Frank understood this time. What Link cared about wasn't money, but rather status and position.

This allows him to do as he pleases most of the time without being restrained by the government. Link must also have his own secrets, something Frank can clearly sense.

I don't know the specifics, but Link's rise was too rapid and quite unbelievable. Moreover, he wasn't really involved in manufacturing; he was mainly involved in finance.

There was no capital to interfere in this matter, and the key was that Link seized the opportunity to buy Stark Industries stock.

"Understood, so what do we do now?" Frank said.

"Keep an eye on him, observe the security around him, and once we have a clear understanding, we'll sneak into Osborn Estate tonight," Link explained his plan. "I need to secretly obtain his genetic sample."

"At the same time, make a deal with him to ensure he won't go back on his word, and you can treat his son first, instead of him."

"The Osborne family's genetic disease is hereditary, and his son also has the disease."

Frank nodded slightly and said, "That's easy. We can go in tomorrow night."

The two finalized their plan and then went to the Osborne Group building to observe from the outside. Norman Osborne was a workaholic, or rather, he was racing against time, especially after Richard Parker's escape.
