"Heh, it seems that my temper has improved a bit as I've gotten older."

Ron casually put his cigar aside, stepped on the gas, and drove his SUV onto the road.

On a yellow wasteland, two cars drove in opposite directions, gradually moving away and disappearing into the wind.

PS: X-23 is still too young, so he'll be raised by Wolverine for a few years. He'll make an appearance later when he's grown up.

Chapter 31 The CEO Leads the Way in Fleeing with Funds!

Osborne Building, New York.

All board members were present in the meeting room.

The only one missing is President Norman Osborn...

"Is Norman still unwell?" a middle-aged woman asked Norman Osborne's assistant with a somber expression.

“Yes, Ms. Vessef,” the assistant replied flatly.

"Okay, we understand."

The middle-aged woman waved her hand: "You may leave."

“Madam, I’m afraid that won’t work.” The assistant maintained a calm expression. “Mr. Osborne instructed me to attend the meeting in his place.”

"I said—get down!"

A middle-aged woman named Vessf suddenly shouted coldly.

At the same time, several board members around her also cast oppressive glances at her assistant!

"..."

The assistant frowned, but ultimately chose not to argue and silently withdrew.

After he leaves.

A somber atmosphere immediately filled the meeting room.

The group began to discuss the matter with unease in their hearts:

"Why is the police making such a slow progress in the data theft case...?"

"Norman originally volunteered to take charge of this case, but he's suddenly become a different person these past few days—quiet, withdrawn, and extremely lazy..."

"The stolen data is extremely important. Although there are no similar products on the market yet, it will definitely have a devastating impact on our company in the future!"

"Let's find someone else to handle the case; Norman is too ill..."

"I don't think this is a serious illness..."

I secretly had someone monitor and investigate. Norman's recent behavior has been very strange; he's tampered with several entries in the company's finances..."

"You mean..."

The board members discussed the matter for a while.

One must come to a conclusion—

The president of the Osborn Group may be planning to lead a group that absconds with the funds...

"The company is facing a major crisis, and it's inevitable that some people will have the idea of protecting themselves."

"But I didn't expect that Norman would be the one to do it first..."

"He has disappointed us greatly..."

"Let's remove him from the board of directors for now; it's for the company's sake."

Some board members already harbored resentment towards Norman Osborne and seized this opportunity to kick him while he was down.

“Norman is the chairman after all; we need to find a strong handle against him.”

"Let's stop those useless projects he's been leading the investments in."

.....

Osborne Group Research Area.

The group walked quickly toward a laboratory.

The leader pushed open the door and immediately said to the man in the white coat inside, "Dr. Connors, your experiment should be stopped."

Connors, taken aback, put down the white mouse he was about to inject and asked, "Why?"

"Because your experimental results have been slow to be clinically proven."

A staff member in a suit and tie arrogantly stepped forward and snatched the injection from Connors' hand: "Unless you can verify the effects of this drug on humans instead of wasting time on poor lab rats!"

"No! This won't do, it's not perfect enough!"

Connors countered, "Recklessly experimenting on humans could have unpredictable consequences!"

The staff member scoffed, "Why not just use those wounded soldiers? Who cares if they live or die?"

"How could you say such a thing!" Connors exclaimed angrily.

"Ha~"

The staff member sneered and waved to the security guard behind him: "Throw him out."

The security guards immediately twisted their wrists and stepped forward to arrest the person.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Connors, please cooperate."

"It's our duty, and we believe you'll understand."

"Wait a minute!"

Connors suddenly raised a hand and shouted.

"What's wrong, Dr. Connors? Is there something you forgot to pack?"

The staff member said in a deliberately gentle tone, "Don't worry, we'll help you throw it away... oh no, move it out."

Give me two more days!

Connors' eyes widened, his gaze blazing with a fervent passion unique to researchers: "I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!!"

Chapter 32: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Investigation Findings, Coulson's Analysis

"Colson."

In an office at a S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Nick Fury turned his chair to face his most trusted agent: "How's the investigation going with that new president of Hardborg you mentioned the other day?"

"He's suspicious."

Coulson took several documents from the folder in his hand, handed them to his superior, and then analyzed them in great detail.

"In the case of the theft of confidential information from the Osborn Group."

Apart from the guard who clashed with the black cat, only one researcher was killed.

Although the researcher's identity was fabricated by the Osborn Group, after I had someone investigate, I discovered that the researcher's real name was Charlie Viskin. Just a week ago, he was in Hadbor's research department and was the main person in charge of Hadbor's pillar profit project, "Exoclothing," possessing confidential information about the project..."

Osborn Corporation's cover-up of Viskin's identity might work smoothly for most departments, but it proved to be full of loopholes when facing the vast resources of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"You mean... this case is retaliation by Hadborough?"

Nick Fury, resting his chin on his hands, continued, "But as far as I know, the new president of Hadborough named Ron is just a rookie. He was even a student before taking over the position. Where did he get the audacity and ability to commit such a case?"

"Coulson, I think you must have other leads."

"Yes."

Coulson nodded, then pulled out another report and placed it on the table, continuing, "On the evening of the incident, I was having coffee in Carloda when I happened to run into this young man named Ron. His strength may be beyond that of ordinary people..."

The coffee cup in the report has been tested and is of excellent quality; even a professional boxer couldn't crush it with his bare hands.

And I tried to follow him afterwards, but I lost him in a small alley after a short while.

"Strength surpassing that of a professional boxer, and able to easily evade the pursuit of a level 10 agent..."

This is enough to show that this young president named Ron is no ordinary person.

Nick Fury put down the report he had just finished reading and asked a crucial question: "Is that coffee shop near the Osborne Building?"

Coulson shook his head: "Too far...it can't be used as direct evidence."

However, I also looked into the girl he was dating.

Her name is Gwen Stacy, the daughter of a police chief, and she is an excellent student.

Most importantly...

She had previously interned at the Osborne Group and had visited the Osborne Building that evening.

"so...."

Nick Fury listened and asked, "You suspect she's a black cat?"

“No, when the black cat clashed with the guards, she was helping Dr. Connors with his research.”

Coulson pointed to a passage in his report: "However, she is suspected of leading the perpetrators to the scene."

"Okay, I know you're reminding me to pay attention, but I actually prefer to hear your report."

Nick Fury picked up the report again and read it carefully once more: "You also wrote... Oh, Mary Jane Watson, she's a suspect too."

"Yes, on the night of the incident, Mary Jane Watson was invited by Harry Osborne to enter the president's office."

Later, someone discovered that she had frantically run out of the office, and then found Harry Osborne unconscious and suffocating inside…

After Coulson finished speaking, he said, "There is no clear connection between the two scenes, so for now we can only treat them as separate cases."

However, what puzzles me most is... the Osborn father and son didn't report the girl to the police. Even when I sent someone to the hospital to question Harry Osborn, he was hesitant to speak... Clearly, the Osborn father and son may also be key figures in this incident.

"There are quite a few suspects...and we don't have much direct evidence."

Nick Fury rubbed his temples, took another file from the drawer, and handed it to him: "Let the lower-ups handle this case. I have something more important to give you."

Chapter 33: Back in New York, Skye is under investigation!

...

Somewhere in the suburbs.

Tap tap tap!

"Fire! Don't stop!"

"What the hell is this?! This isn't the kind of thing on the X-24 datasheet!"

"Damn it! It must have mutated!"

"The intelligence is incorrect! Run!"

Intense gunfire and panicked shouts mingled together, echoing endlessly along the deserted highway.

The Essex Group sent armed personnel to retrieve X-24, but they were quickly slaughtered by a tall, black monster.
