Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 173 Revealed

Jessica Jones did not change her surname after getting married. In Western marriages, women usually change their surname to their husbands' after marriage.

However, Link's core identity is still that of an Easterner. Even in ancient times, women would simply add their husband's surname to their name, rather than changing it entirely, so she still retained the surname Jones.

At this moment, Jessica Jones became the hottest topic in the news. In New York, there is generally little secrecy, and the fact that she was attacked was a big deal.

The sound of gunfire was like firecrackers, and it couldn't be hidden. If she had been kidnapped, that would be one thing, as someone would naturally step in to suppress the media. But she wasn't kidnapped, and quite a few mercenaries were captured.

The Avengers took the man back, and the mercenaries couldn't keep quiet. Of course, only one person knew about the employer: the mercenary leader, who was captured by Jessica.

The Avengers certainly wouldn't use torture to extract confessions, but S.H.I.E.L.D. would. S.H.I.E.L.D. is the only agency that maintains sufficient contact with the Avengers. By simply handing the person over to them, they quickly learned who the middleman was. Then, the Avengers launched a large-scale operation to delve deeper into the mastermind behind it all.

With the Avengers' powerful technology, the mastermind behind the scenes could not completely erase the traces. An energy conglomerate surfaced, and the traitor within the Avengers was also exposed.

This guy didn't have a good ending; he was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the energy conglomerate behind him was simultaneously facing attacks from both Stark Industries and the Osborn Corporation.

It will take some time, but the media and the public are very concerned about Link's situation, so Jessica had to hold a press conference.

Reporters flocked to the venue, where Norman Osborne, CEO of the Osborne Group, presided over the meeting and answered questions first.

"Mr. Osborn, do you have any ambitions regarding the future of the chairmanship?" The reporter's question made Osborn smile.

He said, "First of all, let me remind you that I don't own many shares. Lin has a relative controlling stake. Even though he's not here right now, these shares are still in the hands of the foundation, and Jessica is the CEO of the foundation."

"Stark Industries also holds a significant stake, and they're definitely on Jessica's side."

"Secondly, as everyone knows, I have a genetic disease, and my illness was cured by the medicine Lin brought. I owe him not just a life, but the entire Osborn family. This is a hereditary disease, and my son also has it. Now he doesn't have to worry about his health."

"Finally, Lin is my friend. He trusted me and let me be the CEO, so as a friend, I must live up to his trust."

"Mr. Osborne, will the chairman's disappearance affect the group's development?" another reporter asked.

"Look at the stock price. There hasn't been any decline; in fact, it's risen. This shows that everyone is optimistic about the development of the Oski Group," Norman Osborn said. "We can say that we have a firm foothold in the pharmaceutical and power generation industries, and there's absolutely no problem in maintaining that position."

"Our pharmaceutical research and development has never stopped, and the group has technological reserves, so it's not a problem for us to be technologically ahead for decades."

"As for controlled nuclear fusion, we have no rivals. We have gradually completed the acquisition of the Eastern Power Grid. Everyone should be clear about this when they see their electricity bills every month."

He made a joke, noting that while electricity prices were indeed dropping sharply, the power company under the Au Century Group was still making a lot of money because the costs were so low.

No coal, no oil, no water...

Only a small amount of helium-3 is needed for long-term power generation, the maintenance cost is very low, and there are no safety issues. Power companies are currently building new power plants and reorganizing various power lines.

The reduction in electricity prices has been welcomed by the public, and the same is true for industry. Industrial electricity consumption is very high, but now the power supply is sufficient and the cost has been greatly reduced, which has also reduced production costs.

The power company will also expand into Europe and even the world. This is a huge business, and the market value of the Oski Group is expected to exceed two trillion US dollars in the next few years.

This goes far beyond Stark Industries. With the two joining forces, taking down an energy conglomerate would be a piece of the pie with ease, especially in the energy sector. Both sides are ready to take a bite out of this pie.

New energy vehicles, also known as electric vehicles, are a good option for Osborne Group's weapons division, which currently has few orders besides producing the Swallow fighter jet. This presents a perfect opportunity to adjust its strategy and develop a new energy vehicle.

Power companies can install charging stations across the United States, especially in the United States where the conditions of individual households are very suitable for the installation of charging stations.

With cheap electricity and ample power supply, why wouldn't you use a tram?

After answering a few questions, Norman Osborn gave up his seat to Jessica Jones.

"Madam, are you worried about your husband's disappearance?" the reporter asked. "You now control hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth."

“I’m not worried!” Jessica said. “I know my husband. Nothing can defeat him. He’s trying to get home right now, which is something I can imagine.”

"You don't understand him. Now look at the situation at that time."

Jessica thought about it for a long time, but still decided to play the footage of the battle.

Then, the large screen prepared behind them played the scene of the battle, and everyone present was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths!

The aliens are so powerful that they deployed such a large army; the battle between the two sides is comparable to an epic movie.

Link charged forward relentlessly, easily breaking through enemy encirclements, but then came the final desperate gamble of the enemy and the appearance of a giant larger than Earth.

Jessica paused for a moment, then pointed to Link's feet and said, "My husband had to hold back for the safety of the Earth, because the immense force could crush the Earth's crust, or even the Earth itself."

"This is where you don't understand him. He is incredibly powerful. Just look at Superman in the comics."

"He has always kept a low profile, joining the Avengers as an ordinary person, and focusing on psychology, existing as a wise man."

Everyone was shocked, and Jessica continued, "However, his power is no secret to those in the universe who covet Earth. He has already saved Earth without your knowledge."
