American comic book: Start as a corpse collector, choose to cultivate immortality with technology

George smiled stiffly, looked at his daughter, and said, "Gwen, go to work. Dad has some things to talk to your boyfriend about."

Gwen glanced at her elderly father, then looked pitifully at Ryan.

Ryan squeezed Gwen's small hand and gave her a reassuring look.

Upon seeing this, George's brow twitched, and his hand, somewhat uncontrollably, reached for Remington in the passenger seat.

At this moment, Gwen looked at Comrade George with a very serious expression.

"Daddy, you promised me you wouldn't make things difficult for Renn, right?"

"Dad promises you! Hurry up and go to work, you're going to be late."

"Honey, even though my dad is stubborn, could you please be a little more accommodating to him?"

"Of course, I'll have a great time with Uncle George, give me a kiss!"

mua!

After the kiss ended, Gwen slowly entered the Osborne Building, turning back every few steps.

Ryan looked at Comrade George with an awkward but polite smile.

"Uncle George, we meet again."

"Ha! Boy, you're pretty arrogant. Want my old buddy to give you a kiss too?"

After his daughter left, old George was clearly a bit irritable, fiddling with the Remington wine that was about to burst open, trying to put some pressure on Renn.

This might be somewhat useful for other people.

Unfortunately, Comrade George was facing a practitioner with an iron will.

If it is before foundation building.

With Renn completely unprepared, Remington and the like posed a certain threat to him.

But now that Rennes has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone Remington.

Even if old George were carrying an RPG, he might not be able to inflict the slightest damage on Rennes.

Of course, this is not a reason for Renn to disrespect his father-in-law.

Facing the elderly George, Ryan showed no fear, while maintaining a certain level of politeness and demeanor, saying, "Uncle George, I can explain about what happened between me and Gwen."

"But Uncle, are you sure you want to stay here?"

"This is Manhattan, Uncle. You don't want to be in tomorrow's morning paper for threatening your son-in-law with a gun, do you?"

George: "..."

Looking around, they saw that quite a few passersby were curiously watching the two of them.

George awkwardly put the Remington he was holding into the trunk, then gave Ryan a complicated look and said, "Damn brat, come with me."

Five minutes later.

In a quiet, upscale coffee shop, George and Ryan sat facing each other.

George's gaze was fierce, attempting to intimidate Ryan with his eyes.

Ryan, on the other hand, calmly stirred his coffee, confronting George with elegance and politeness.

"What the hell!"

George mentally complained, feeling that he had lost face.

No matter what, he was a sheriff in the New York City Police Department and the chief of the 13th Precinct. Even the most vicious criminals wouldn't dare to stand like him.

Surprisingly, it had no effect whatsoever on this brat.

"Rayn Sullivan, the 13th chief strategist who dominates the New York underworld, is a figure of immense power and influence, a force to be reckoned with, a master of deception and manipulation!"

"Kid, this is no reason for you to be arrogant in front of me. I'm a soldier, you're a thief..."

Seeing that he couldn't intimidate Ryan, George immediately spoke up and revealed Ryan's background.

In a sense, George wasn't wrong.

One soldier, one thief.

Unfortunately, this is the Western world, a world dominated by capital, where the line between soldiers and thieves is far less clear.

Ryan took a sip of coffee and said, "Uncle, actually, you've omitted some things."

George raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"

Rein leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "In addition to the businesses left by the Sullivan family, I am also the chairman of the New York Presbyterian Hospital, a member of the board of directors of Osborn, and a member of the America Environmental Protection Association and the International Naturalist Organization."

"Oh, I almost forgot. Four months ago, the UN Secretary-General personally awarded me the Knight of the Order of Nature Conservation, and the mayor of New York nominated me to run for councilor."

George: "..."

The underground businesses were inherited from the Sullivan family.

After taking over the Sullivan family, Ryan didn't make many public appearances or do anything outrageous.

On the contrary, in public, Rennes's name is very well-known.

In the public sphere, Rennes has a very good reputation.

Given this background, unless Raine is caught red-handed, no one, not even the chief of the New York 13th Precinct, or even the chief of the New York headquarters, would dare to mistreat her.

Comrade George was somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ryan's purpose was not to embarrass his father-in-law.

After George arrived, he showed a hint of embarrassment.

Ryan quickly continued, "Uncle, I heard Gwen say that when she was seven years old, Gwen and Aunt Helen had a terrible accident, and Aunt Helen almost died, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, George instantly flew into a rage, slammed his hand on the table, and was about to turn hostile.

However, Ryan spoke up first, saying, "Uncle, believe me, I didn't mean to threaten you."

George, suppressing his anger, asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Ryan laughed and said, "Uncle, what I mean is that's how society works. Black and white aren't so clearly defined."

“If my uncle had investigated me, he would know that my life wasn’t as…degenerate as you think, right?”

"In fact, Gwen was my first girlfriend, and I loved her very much."

"Putting aside the Sullivan family's businesses in the underworld, I think I'd make a pretty good acquaintance, wouldn't you say?"

“In fact, with me around, Gwen and Aunt Helen can have a better and safer life.”

"If needed, I can also make some investments and provide some assistance to my uncle's career, such as becoming the next director of the New York General Administration, or the mayor of New York the year after that..."

Chapter 20 Gaining Dominance over Osborn Laboratory

Comrade George came quickly and left quickly.

Even after returning to his office at the police station, George's mind was still filled with the incessant, manipulative words of Ryan.

Black and white are not so clearly distinct.

Helen and Gwen could have a better, safer life.

He believes he can become the next Director General of the New York State Bureau.

He's even preparing to become the mayor of New York City in the future.

Given Rennes' current status and development momentum, the other party is certainly qualified to make such a promise.

Putting aside the fact that Sullivan is the head of the family.

The chairman of the Presbyterian Hospital, a prospective New York City councilor, and a member of the Osborne Group's board of directors—if Raine could persuade Norman Osborne to provide some assistance.

The mayor of New York City doesn't seem so far out of reach after all.

Just as Comrade George was in a daze, with all sorts of thoughts running through his mind.

At this moment, Ryan arrived at the Osborn Group again, feeling relaxed.

Unlike yesterday's simple visit.

This time, Rennes came with a partnership and a large sum of money, which made Norman Osborne show even greater 'respect'.

Norman Osborne even personally greeted Ryan at the entrance of the Osborne Building.

A full 100 million in cash.

This wouldn't have been a big deal at the peak of the Osborne Group, but ever since Norman Osborne's family's hereditary disease began to manifest, the group's business has gradually declined.

This 100 million in cash can buy Norman Osborne at least six months, or even more.

That's right.

Despite constant pressure from the military and board members, Norman Osborn did not give up his research on physical enhancement drugs.

However, as the group's profits declined, board members continued to impose restrictions.
