American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 60 Good Fortune

Meanwhile, because his girlfriend Mary Jane wasn't feeling well, Harry Osborne was dancing alone with a group of followers when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was his butler calling. Harry Osborne curled his lip in disdain and hung up impatiently.

However, immediately after Harry hung up, the butler called again. Harry hung up, and the butler called again.

"Does this old man want to die?" Harry cursed, finally answering the phone and immediately launching into a tirade.

"Why are you calling me?! I'm at a club! You keep calling even after I hang up! Don't you know where you are?!"

"Young Master... Master..." The butler ignored Harry's scolding on the other end of the phone and cried, "Master has passed away!"

"What?!" Harry's eyes widened as he asked, "Are you sure?! When did this happen?"

"Just now, I went in to deliver a late-night snack to the master and found him slumped in a chair with his eyes closed. He didn't respond when I called him. When I went up to check, I found that the master was dead. It seems that he had a heart attack."

"Heart disease? No way?" Harry thought of how Norman Osborn was trembling with anger when he left, and wondered if it was him who caused it.

"Young Master? When will you be back?" the butler continued. "The people at the company said they're temporarily suppressing the news of the Master's passing, fearing it might affect the stock price. What should we do?"

"Just do as they say." Harry quickly replied upon hearing that it would affect the Osborne Group's stock price. A drop in stock price would mean less inheritance left to him by the old man, which was unacceptable. "You handle it first, I'll be there in a bit."

After saying that, Harry hung up the phone, still looking at the message on his phone with an incredulous expression.

"Young Master Harry, what's wrong?" A blond-haired lackey, seeing that Harry was acting strangely, abandoned his female companion and came over. Although Harry's charm couldn't compare to that of his female companion, following Harry meant he could still have other female companions, free meals and drinks, frequent high-end places, and even get some tips. Franklin's charm was far greater than that of any beautiful woman.

"It's alright, great news, really great news!" Harry slapped his henchman hard and said, "Go tell the DJ that I'll pay for everything tonight! Also, ask around and find out what the best stuff they have, the most exciting kind, even if it has a lot of side effects."

"The master instructed that it cannot be given to you," the henchman said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I've already convinced the old man." Harry waved his hand, casually took off his watch and tossed it to his henchman, saying, "Well done, this Patek Philippe is yours."

"Thank you, young master!" the attendant said hurriedly.

"Hahahaha~~!!! Hahahaha~~!!" Harry laughed heartily, feeling incredibly happy living without anyone to bother him!

Harry had had enough of this hellish life. To be honest, sometimes Harry had the urge to hire someone to kill Norman Osborn, but in the end he just didn't have the guts.

The old man is meddling too much. He gets scolded for wasting money, for using nice things, for speeding, for having a girlfriend, and now he even gets scolded for bullying a low-level employee in the group's branch office?!

Damn it, I'm the heir to the prestigious Osborn Group! How dare a mere branch office employee point a gun at my head?! I'll fire him tomorrow, damn it, no, I'll have him arrested, locked in a cage, and shot in the head every day.

And that bitch Emma, ​​Harry needs to slap her dozens of times, left and right, until her face is swollen. What good will complaining to the old man do? Ha~ In the end, he won't get anything.

Oh, and his girlfriend Mary Jane, what's wrong with wanting to debut as a star? The Osborne Group has so many resources and money, but the old man is so stingy that he won't even use it to fund a movie for his future daughter-in-law. He even had to rely on the resources of a small branch employee, and almost got his head blown off in the end.

With that in mind, Harry found a relatively quiet place and dialed Mary Jane's number.

"Honey! Haven't you always dreamed of having Spielberg direct a movie with you as the lead? You even wrote a script outline? Hurry up and finish it when you have some free time, because your dream will soon come true!"

"What?! Really?!?!?!" Mary Jane covered her mouth in disbelief, and at the same time, she remembered what Xiao Xian had said yesterday, so she tentatively asked...

"But didn't you say your dad didn't agree to let you use the Osborne Group's resources to help me? Your dad suddenly agreed?"

"I'll just tell you this to one person secretly, but you absolutely mustn't tell anyone else, that old man Norman Osborn has passed away."

Harry immediately became excited and happy upon hearing this, which surprised Mary Jane. Her words and tone didn't quite match.

"Really?" Mary Jane asked, barely able to contain her joy and excitement after confirming that she hadn't misheard. Xiao Xian hadn't lied to her after all.

Wouldn't she soon become the matriarch of the Osborn Group, while Xiao Xian would take over the company?!

As for Harry, Mary Jane felt that dying suddenly on the wedding day would be too attention-grabbing, and killing him the next day would be more appropriate. However, if Xiao Xian needed her to keep up the act for a longer period of time, she could barely accept it.

But next, I will definitely try my best to stop Harry from touching me. I hope the superpowered person Xiao Xian mentioned will work. After all, Xiao Xian hates Harry so much. What if he dislikes me because Harry touched me?

"Of course, darling, from now on, the entire Osborn Group's resources will be there to support your Hollywood journey!" Harry assured him, patting his chest.

"Great! Darling, now that Norman Osborn is no longer in the way, when are you going to marry me?" Mary Jane asked impatiently, hoping to get the marriage certificate today and be done with it tomorrow.

"You're willing to marry me?!" Osborne exclaimed happily.

"Of course, I can't wait!" Mary Jane said eagerly. Her eagerness was genuine. It wasn't just about the difference in looks and charm. After her visit with Xiao Xian, she felt that Harry was completely inferior to Xiao Xian in every aspect, whether it was temperament, intelligence, or conversation.

How could a woman who has been loved by a lion possibly be interested in a stray dog?

Every minute Mary Jane spent with Harry felt like torture, while every minute she spent with Xiao Xian was a joy, even when Xiao Xian was cursing online, he was so handsome and charming.

"Really?! That's wonderful! I'll definitely prepare the grandest, most expensive, and most luxurious wedding in history for you!! I'll announce to the world that you will be the matriarch of the Osborne Group! My wife, Harry Osborne's wife." Harry was absolutely ecstatic upon hearing this; she really loves me so much!!!

"No need~ As long as you're the groom, that's fine. Keep everything simple and get married as soon as possible. I'm not with you for your money."

Upon hearing this, Mary Jane quickly shook her head and said, "What do you mean by grand or not? If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to attend. I'll just make do and be done with it. In my heart, she only belongs to Xiao Xian. If we're going to have a wedding, it will be with Xiao Xian. Harry Osborne? I don't know him at all. If it weren't for the money, Mary Jane wouldn't even bother to give him a second glance."

"Mary Jane!!! Oh~ I love you to death!!!" Harry was so moved that he burst into tears. He was so lucky to have met such a wonderful woman!
