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

Reward: Red blind box (1)

task:

[1. Ichizawa Kaori: Facing a special female hero, you can develop a relationship beyond friendship with her, which will yield great rewards. Quest Reward: Blue Blind Box (can be stacked, currently stacked three times). Quest Attributes: Independent side quest, infinite quest.]

This time, the cost was enormous.

However, Hao Longtao was still very happy to have gained the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

The more abilities you have.

This means he has more and more aliases at his disposal.

"This identity as the Ice Demon can be put on hold for now."

"After all, there are no secrets left about the Ice Demon's identity."

Hao Longtao now understands why heroes wear unique hero costumes when they do good deeds.

Besides being easily identifiable, it can also conceal one's true identity.

The identity of the Ice Demon has not yet been truly revealed.

Those who truly know the Ice Demon's identity are from the world's most elite forces.

But now he has killed so many military personnel.

He even went to their door to threaten them; in reality, Hao Longtao had no other choice.

He needs to establish absolute dominance within the military.

At the same time, we must also maintain restraint.

The existence of the Ice Demon is like a nuclear warhead.

Once used, its threat level will decrease.

Previously, he wanted to use the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and water control magic to create a brand new hero.

Now that the Flame-Flame Fruit has appeared, it gives Hao Longtao another option.

Ice and fire are opposites.

Everyone knows that.

Hao Longtao intended to exploit this to mislead S.H.I.E.L.D., the military, the Brotherhood, and even Hydra.

With Hydra's power, they will surely be able to find the Ice Demon's true identity.

From the moment he produced the photo of the Black man who killed his parents, his identity was destined to be exposed.

Hao Longtao never doubted the investigative mind of a top-notch agent.

Finding him from the slightest clues is not necessarily a difficult task.

In his previous life, Hao Longtao was also an ordinary person, and his counter-surveillance skills were only at a very low level.

He turned off the lights, but remembering that he had offended the military, he created an ice sphere to wrap himself up.

Only then could Hao Longtao sleep peacefully.

Quinjet fighters land at S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret base in New York.

Black Widow Natasha and Barton walked off the plane chatting and laughing.

They handled the mission very smoothly.

Suddenly, Patton stopped.

"Sir."

Nick Fury was already waiting for them at the base entrance.

"Sir."

"Black Widow Natasha shouted."

"Barton, you go and rest first. I need to talk to Natasha about something."

Patton nodded, walked past him, and entered the densely packed base.

Black Widow's smile faded.

"For you to come here personally, it must be that Ice Demon has caused trouble again."

"It was General Ross who attacked the Ice Demon."

Nick Fury looked very uncomfortable.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has intervened in the Ice Demon affair.

It has already been decided at the Security Committee meeting.

But Ross suddenly intervened, completely disrupting his plans.

"What? General Ross has gotten involved in the Ice Demon's affairs?"

Natasha immediately realized that things were in serious trouble.

Given Hao Longtao's personality, he's the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. And with General Ross's style, a clash between the two would surely result in heavy casualties.

"The entire super-soldier company trained by General Ross was frozen in Central Park by Ice Demon. After Ice Demon left, General Ross arrived in Central Park to handle the aftermath, but Ice Demon reappeared."

Nick Fury described it simply.

But when Natasha heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

I've slept with him all along.

The other party is also a trustworthy man.

Naturally, there was some concern for Hao Longtao.

"General Ross's soldiers were all stunned by another ability of the Ice Demon. Afterwards, the Ice Demon and General Ross had a conversation, but General Ross did not say anything."

"This is just a warning to some people: don't try to challenge the Ice Demon's bottom line, or the consequences will be severe."

Nick Fury was very curious about what the Ice Demon and General Ross had talked about.

This caused the veteran general, who had fought countless battles, to remain silent.

"Sir, do you want me to return to the Ice Demon's side and monitor his every move?"

Natasha immediately guessed Nick Fury's thoughts.

“I want Ice Demon to join the Avengers. I believe that with his participation, the future of humanity will be secured.” Nick Fury knew that the chances of getting Hao Longtao to join the Avengers were slim.

In particular, he sent Skrulls to become Hao Longtao's teachers and get close to him.

This has angered Hao Longtao and threatened the lives of the Skrulls.

In order to quell Hao Longtao's anger and rescue Talos, he even went to great lengths to provide Hao Longtao with valuable intelligence.

“Sir, you should understand that if I were to appear beside Hao Longtao, it might not make him happy. After all, his girlfriend Gwen doesn’t even know I exist.”

Natasha was helpless.

I was tricked by a high school student.

She was the third party.

What is this called?

"Osborn Group".

Nick Fury smiled smugly.

"Osborn Group?"

Natasha looked curious.

"Hao Longtao should have acquired Osborne's shares from Connolly, becoming Osborne's second-largest shareholder—no, he should be the second-largest shareholder. The Osborne shares held by Wall Street institutions were also acquired by Wells Fargo, and Hao Longtao should be the principal."

Natasha's eyes widened upon hearing this.

She knew Hao Longtao had made money.

She earned a fortune from a single novel that she could never have earned in a lifetime of working.

The dramatic rise and fall of Stark Industries also allowed Hao Longtao to make a fortune.

He has now begun acquiring the Osborne Group.

Once hailed as one of the twin stars of American technology companies, is the Osborne Group, a family business, about to change hands?

Natasha couldn't help but be completely smitten with that man.

He is really amazing.

"After Dr. Connor escaped, he returned to Osborn and stole a large amount of genetic data from the Osborn Corporation. I need you to enter the Osborn Corporation and assist Hao Longtao in taking control of Osborn, and to find out what data Dr. Connor obtained."

Dr. Connor is Nick Fury's number one enemy now.

Because of his own mistake, he created an even more powerful monster.

Dr. Connor is clearly not satisfied with his current abilities; he will definitely use his genetic knowledge to create an army of monsters.

This is a crisis that endangers all of humanity.

"As long as it doesn't involve me joining the school, I'll agree to it."

Joining the Osborne Group?

It appears that Harry Osborn is now in charge of the Osborn Group.

This rich kid is not bad.

Unfortunately, it's too small and doesn't suit her.

Hao Longtao is also young, but Natasha tried it and was very satisfied.

"Don't worry, I've thought about it. Hao Longtao is still young, and the younger he is, the more rebellious he is. He can still be a good kid, and I believe you can guide him onto the right path."

Nick Fury's deep-seated worries compelled him to try and curry favor with Hao Longtao.

His wife was a Skrull.

Wells Fargo.

Mr. Smith's energy surprised Hao Longtao.

“Sir, these are the shares we acquired from Wall Street institutions at 80% of their market value.” Smith’s smile widened. “You just need to sign these documents, and 12 percent of Osborne’s shares will be yours.”

Hao Longtao signed his name directly on the document.

"Have you started negotiating with the other five minority shareholders for their shares?"

He cares about the shares held by these minority shareholders.

Including Connery's 18 percent stake, he now controls 30 percent of Osborne's shares.

He officially surpassed Harry Osborne to become the largest shareholder of the Osborne Group.

He spent $27 billion to acquire Connery's shares.

Of course, he mortgaged the stock to Wells Fargo in exchange for this money.

Smith spent $14.4 billion to acquire the shares held by Wall Street.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ········

The 30% stake has already cost him $41.4 billion.

They're all loans.

With the support of Wells Fargo, Hao Longtao even conceived the idea of ​​privatizing Osborne.

But he knew that if he wanted to monopolize the market, he would have to pay a huge price in the future.

"We've already started making contact, but to avoid alerting Harry, we just met with them to get some information. We eventually reached a preliminary agreement, but they're only willing to sell at a premium."

Smith gave a disdainful look.

These minority shareholders are all New York billionaires with considerable status.

But compared to Wells Fargo, what are they?

He was confident he could drive the price down.
