I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

“Lucian, kill him.”

He had already turned around, but he looked back at Lucian.

Because Lucian did not respond to him, and no gunshot was fired.

Lucian, however, stood motionless like a wooden statue, his limbs stiff, and his whole body emanating a chilling aura.

“Mr. Connery, you see, this is the punishment for impulsiveness.”

Hao Longtao sipped his coffee, which was already emitting a chill.

Connery's pupils contracted, fear surged within him, and his drooping hand was trembling.

"Mr. Connery, do you think I'm here to threaten you?"

Hao Longtao smiled.

A look.

Connery sat obediently opposite Hao Longtao, his hands clasped together, looking restless.

"Sir, if you need money, please just ask. If there's anything I can do to help, I will do my best."

Connery knew very well that he had met a formidable opponent.

The other party's bizarre abilities terrified him, and he thought of mutants.

At his age, he lived through the era of the most severe conflict between mutants and humans.

Humanity has even faced the threat of extinction on several occasions.

“If this information gets out, Mr. Connery will spend his future in federal prison. I won’t even need to lift a finger; you’ll be in big trouble.” Hao Longtao put down his coffee cup and said calmly. “Your confidence comes from the connections you’ve built over the years, and even from using your own relationships to smooth things over with the media and hire lawyers to minimize your losses.”

Connery certainly had that ability.

Therefore, he was worried that his actions, once exposed, would bring him endless danger.

But he knew even more that with someone holding evidence against him, his future would be even more miserable.

That's the kind of person he is.

Once they've got their sights set on someone, they won't easily give in.

Until he becomes worthless.

"But you've miscalculated one thing. How will you deal with Harry Osborn's attack when you're embroiled in legal troubles? Even if you had managed to settle the legal issues back then, with Harry Osborn's abilities, he would have already taken control of the Osborn Group, and your shares would be worthless."

“Harry Osborn won’t let any opportunity to take you down pass him by.”

"The person you're referring to will be greatly diminished after leaving the Osborn Group, and I believe the people behind you will also like Harry very much."

"Your final destination will definitely be a federal prison."

Connery swallowed hard.

He did indeed overlook this concern.

Harry Osborn wants to completely control the Osborn Group, and the person he needs to eliminate is definitely him.

Connery's influence in Osborn was deeply entrenched.

Harry saw an opportunity and will definitely seize it to uproot his influence in the Osborn Group.

"Sir, what do you need me to do?"

Connery finally calmed down.

Hao Longtao tapped his thigh with his fingers, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"I want the Osborne Group."

"Impossible, the Osborne Group could not possibly fall into your hands."

Connery jumped up.

"Why isn't it possible?"

“You are from China, and the military will not let you take over the Osborne Group. After all, Osborne has had a close relationship with the military over the years, and now Osborne is preparing to make a major foray into military business to seize the market that Stark Industries has abandoned. If you take control of the Osborne Group, the only outcome for the Osborne Group will be that it will be eliminated by the market.”

Connery was a pure businessman.

He was also a Jew.

He understood the rules of the upper class in America very well.

They understand even more clearly the American military's fear of China.

"I never said I would take over the markets that Stark abandoned. Putting the cart before the horse will only tie the future interests of the Osborne Group to the wheels of the military. Such an Osborne Group has no independence and should be prepared to be abandoned by the military at any time."

Hao Longtao shook his head.

Connery, however, wanted to laugh.

Are you aware of the exorbitant profits in the arms industry?

Do you know that all your hard work, facing the risks in the business world, and earning those small profits is not as much as you can make from a single order from the military?

But looking at the young man before him, so young and naive, Mr. Connery dared not speak.

He didn't want to become the second poor Lucian.

Frozen into an ice sculpture.

Wait, an ice sculpture?

Wilson!!!

Could he be an ice demon?

Connery also received an invitation to the last banquet.

But he did not go.

Others may not know what kind of person Wilson is, but Connery knows a lot about Wilson's family background.

Therefore, he did not go to participate.

Escaped.

But now, the Ice Demon has come knocking on our door in person.

Are they eyeing Osborne?

Is it because of Dr. Connor?

Connery naturally knew that Dr. Conner was a lizardman, and also knew that such a powerful monster as Dr. Conner was instantly frozen by the Ice Demon.

"You're here for the shares I own?"

Connery suddenly said.

Hao Longtao suddenly looked at Kang QQ, search group = 9.75632/410 Nali, with a very interested expression.

"I've suddenly become interested in you."

His keen senses had already detected the changes in Connery's body.

His inner fears could not escape the devil's keen senses.

"You've discovered my true identity!"

Hao Longtao put down his crossed legs.

Connery was covered in cold sweat, his eyes filled with fear, and he hurriedly shook his head:

"Sir, I have no ill intentions towards you, please don't kill me."

Hao Longtao's smile grew even brighter:

"I won't kill you; I'll even give you a good price."

Connery nodded quickly:

"Please name your price, sir, and I'm withdrawing from Osborn."

"No, you can't leave Osborne. I'm handing Osborne over to you."

Hao Longtao shook his head.

Connery stared in astonishment at the seemingly harmless young man before him.

"Don't look at me with such suspicion. You should understand that the devil is the most trustworthy. When have you ever seen God keep his promise to you? Have you ever seen a deal with the devil go unbroken?"

Hao Longtao pushed his coffee cup.

"Mr. Connery, your coffee is good, could you please refill it for me?"

Connery quickly picked up his cup and stood up.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He waited for Hao Longtao to refill his coffee.

Turning around, Hao Longtao was nowhere to be found.

"Get the contract ready, get ready to become the president of Osborne, and I'll come back to you."

Hao Longtao's voice, as devilish as a demon, rang in his ears once more.

Connery's hand holding the coffee was trembling.

At that moment, another bodyguard rushed in with a large group of guards in black.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Connery took a sip of coffee to calm himself down.

"He has left."

Connery glanced at Lucian and said coldly:

"Luca, dispose of Lucian's body properly."

Luca, another bodyguard, was startled when he saw Lucian, who had turned into an ice sculpture.

"Don't tell anyone about anything that happened today."

Connery needs to assess the danger posed by the Ice Demon.

He believed the military must have conducted research and assessment of this monster who appeared in New York.

That determined his subsequent attitude towards the Ice Demon.

But Connery never considered running away.

He is reluctant to give up his current position.

He also understood that the evidence was in the hands of the Ice Demon, and he was powerless against the Ice Demon.

Unless Connally wants to go to federal prison.

Hao Longtao arrived at the New York headquarters of Wells Fargo.

Mr. Smith had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Hao, welcome back again."

As a high-ranking executive at Wells Fargo, Smith was extremely welcoming of this benefactor.

He knew all too well the current net worth of this God of Wealth.

A shareholder of Stark Industries, and a man with billions of dollars in cash at his disposal.

If placed on the US Fortune list, it would make the top ten.

The person who possesses such wealth is a high school student.

In recent days, news reports about Hao Longtao have begun to gain traction.

His image gradually appeared in major media outlets.

But Hao Longtao remained calm as always.

Only Mr. Smith knew that the man before him was also a superhuman.

He also has a nickname: the Ice Demon.

However, he kept his identity extremely low-key.
