Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

Norman turned his gaze to the two reports on the table.

One of them was a "physical enhancement potion" that he personally supervised.

The other one is from Dr. Kurt Connors' "Lizard Serum" project.

The former had completed animal experiments a long time ago, but because the results were not stable, he had been hesitant about conducting human experiments.

The latter, which had been progressing slowly, suddenly made a major breakthrough the day before yesterday, achieving preliminary limb regeneration in mice, and is now still in the follow-up observation stage.

If one doesn't work out, there's always another as a backup...

Thinking this, a hint of determination and madness flashed in Norman's eyes.

He then pressed the call bell on his desk, summoned his secretary, Sagi, to his office, and gave the following order:

"Notify Storm to immediately arrange human trials of the 'physical enhancement drug,' and then have him visit Dr. Connors' lab."

I told him I was very satisfied with the progress of his project and encouraged him to keep up the good work and complete the animal trials as soon as possible.

"Yes, ma'am." The hot female secretary respectfully left the room, but her expression changed instantly after closing the door.

She immediately dialed a number, a chilling glint in her eyes:

"Gentlemen, the boss can't wait any longer, and it seems he's also planning to launch Connors' project as a backup plan..."

Upon hearing this, cheers and celebrations immediately came from the other end of the phone. After a moment, someone spoke:

"Very good. Next, force that cripple to immediately conduct human experiments on veterans... In this way, regardless of whether Norman's plan succeeds or fails, we will be the ultimate victors!"

Upon hearing this, the female secretary felt her heart race.

"After it's all done?"

"Don't worry, you'll get your share, every single penny. Once we sell the Osborn Group, you'll at least get this much..."

Hearing the astronomical figures revealed on the other end of the phone, the female secretary became even more excited. Without any hesitation, she immediately ran to the laboratory where Connors was located.

Bang!

The female secretary rudely pushed open the door and spoke arrogantly:

"Dr. Connors, I'm very pleased that your project has finally made considerable progress. Mr. Norman is quite satisfied with it."

Upon hearing this, Connors smiled, adjusted his glasses, and said somewhat shyly:

"I will continue to work hard and strive to complete the animal trials as soon as possible."

"Animal experiments?" The female secretary couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"That matter is over. Mr. Norman has submitted all the subsequent preclinical research reports to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and we are just waiting for the day after tomorrow to arrange for the disabled veterans to undergo clinical trials."

"What?!" Connors' eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this, and he instinctively reached out to grab the female secretary's shoulder.

"You can't do this! The follow-up observations of the animal experiments haven't been completed yet, and no one can guarantee that there won't be any unexpected problems. Conducting human experiments now is no different from murder!"

"Doctor, these are not things you should be thinking about."

Because Connors only had one arm and was a frail scientist, the female secretary easily pushed him to the ground, looking down at him and saying:

"Caring too much about some things won't do you any good! Remember, once you leave Osborne, you're nothing, a cripple like you!"

The female secretary, Saji, easily trampled on Connors's dignity and left arrogantly as a victor.

Connors was left lying on the ground, staring at the serum in his hand with an uncertain expression.

……

"It's so cold!"

Lying shirtless on the cold experimental table, Norman couldn't help but let out such a sigh.

"Mr. Norman, I must remind you again that the physical enhancement drug is still very unstable. Theoretically, it cannot even be used for clinical trials. You are risking your life by doing this!"

"Of course I know this is an adventure, but I have no other choice." Norman was too lazy to explain anything anymore; he simply waved his hand weakly after drinking the potion.

"Let's begin, Dr. Storm."

Strom, the project manager, sighed helplessly and had no choice but to obediently activate the device.

As green smoke filled the sterile chamber, Norman let out screams of agony.

Almost at the same time that Norman received the physique-enhancing drug, Connors made the same decision.

He did not want the heroes who had shed blood for the country to suffer undeserved misfortune because of him.

Thus, with the spirit of "If I don't go to hell, who will?" and the desire for limb regeneration.

After taking one last look at his severed hand, Connors did not hesitate to take out a vial of lizard serum and inject it into his body.

"Ahhhhh!"

As Dr. Storm, who had kindly come to perform CPR on Norman, had his neck snapped by Norman's sinister grin.

Thus, the two major villains of the Spider-Man universe, Green Goblin and Doctor Lizard, were born.

……

Because the two had been separated for a long time, Harry and Peter talked about many things on their minds.

The two started by discussing their fledgling business empires, then moved on to the troubles in their lives, and from these minor anxieties, they extended their conversation to the inevitable topic of romance for teenagers.

The two chatted until after nine o'clock in the evening.

"Looking forward to your good news, Harry!"

After reluctantly saying goodbye to Harry, Peter returned to his bedroom and immediately contacted Herman.

After all, he was a newly recruited subordinate, and Peter felt it necessary to reassure him further, to demonstrate his superiority as the boss, and also to boost his subordinate's favorability.

"Yes, Herman, I've found an angel investor. As long as you can make the first sample battery, the funding will be in your account soon."

Remember, this battery is used to power the phone, so the power output must be stable enough...

Just as Peter was sharing the good news with Herman, the old-fashioned car radio that Peter had placed on his bedside table suddenly started playing.

This is a little gadget that Peter made on the spot. This radio can hack into the exclusive police radio channel, helping him to quickly grasp the police situation happening in the Big Apple.

"Calling all units! Calling all units! Emergency on the Manhattan Bridge! Witnesses report... a huge... lizard monster attacking vehicles! Repeat, this is not a drill!"

Lizard monster?

Peter hung up the phone, raising an eyebrow slightly.

The plot, why is it starting so soon?

Isn't Dr. Lizard supposed to only appear when he and Gwen are close to graduating?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Peter couldn't help but slap his forehead!

How could I have forgotten about this?

Because he wanted to obtain the lizard serum as soon as possible, he handed over the decay rate algorithm to the doctor in advance.

Under these circumstances, it's only natural that Dr. Lizard would be born ahead of schedule.

On a whim, he almost instinctively reached for his battle suit in his bag.

But just as he reached out, he suddenly stopped.

Gwen's stubborn and defiant little face subconsciously appeared in his mind.

Perhaps... I should give her a chance to grow on her own?
