I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 48 A Crazy Thought

"Yeah?"

Erin chuckled and said, "I already told you, this is a magic potion."

"In the world of ordinary people, there is indeed no panacea, but that does not mean that there is no panacea that can cure all diseases in the mysterious world."

After saying that, Erin immediately activated the [Desperate Gaze], intending to let Norman Osborn personally experience the incredible nature of the mystical side.

The pressure, condensed into a tangible force, almost crushed Norman Osborne's exceptionally weak will, striking directly into the depths of his soul.

"what?"

Norman Osborn's mental fortitude was weaker than Erin had anticipated, even weaker than the two security guards Erin had encountered before.

Like an ordinary person suffering from a serious illness and having exhausted their energy, their weak will is almost fragile and could break at the slightest touch.

The [Despairing Gaze], a concentrated form of mental magic, encountered no real resistance and dismantled the opponent's mental barrier, planting the seeds of fear deep within their soul.

next second.

Erin withdrew his [Dejected Gaze] and frowned slightly as he looked at Norman Osborn, who had fallen into a coma.

Then I breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Norman Osborn in front of him is indeed the weakest, most ordinary version of Norman Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man.

Otherwise, if Norman Osborn, who was standing in front of him, had any connection with that evil Green Goblin, Erin's [Despairing Gaze] wouldn't have been able to stun him so easily.

However, Norman Osborn's vulnerability seems to be a good thing for Erin.

Originally, Erin only intended to use the "Desperate Gaze" to prove the existence of the mystical side and the authenticity of the "Universal Antidote" to Norman Osborn, and then use the "Universal Antidote" to make a deal with him and obtain enough funds from him.

But now, Norman Osborn's fragile performance gave Erin another, even more insane idea.

Since Norman Osborn's willpower is so fragile, could he simply usurp the position, control Norman Osborn through hypnosis, and thus take control of the entire Osborn Group, making this massive corporation serve him?

of course.

Erin's current mental strength is not strong enough to permanently and completely change a person's thinking. Even through the "Despairing Gaze" and some special techniques in the Mind Seal, he can only hypnotize a person temporarily.

Given enough time, or if the other person receives a strong external stimulus, they may be able to break free from Erin's hypnosis.

This is also why Erin initially only intended to make a deal with Norman Osborn.

After all, Green Goblin is a well-known villain even among the villains in the Marvel Universe. With Erin's current level of hypnosis skills, he is not confident that he can hypnotize such a major villain.

If hypnosis fails and instead provokes Green Goblin's hostility, then it would truly be a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

But now, Norman Osborn's mental fortitude is so fragile that it gives Erin more room to maneuver.

Do what you want to do.

Erin walked to Norman Osborn's bedside.

Through the secret techniques recorded in the Great Seal of the Mind, a trace of will containing one's own spirituality was condensed into a seed and then planted deep within Norman Osborn's heart, planting a seed of trust in his mind.

Then, through the constant permeation of seductive music, she deepened her impression on Norman Osborn and solidified the hypnotic imprint.

More than five hours later.

When Erin walked out of the Osborne family estate again, he had an additional notarized share transfer document in his backpack.

This document transformed Erin's identity from a modestly wealthy Asian boy into the third-largest shareholder of the Osborn Group, controlling five percent of its shares.

Although the Osborne Group's stock has been somewhat volatile and has fallen considerably recently due to Norman Osborne's serious illness, it remains a behemoth with a market capitalization of over 2000 billion US dollars.

Five percent of the Osborne Group's shares, when converted to US dollars, are worth at least over 100 billion US dollars.

It can be said that this contract directly led to the birth of a billionaire.

This trip to Osborne Estate was incredibly lucrative for Erin.

And this...

That was just what Erin had gained on this trip. Compared to the five percent stake in the Osborn Group that was publicly known, the hidden gains were what truly tempted Erin.

the other side.

After Erin left.

Inside the Osborn Corporation's estate, Norman Osborn, who had already taken the "Universal Antidote," watched as the lesions on his body receded and his body, which was regaining its vitality at a visible speed, trembled with excitement.

Beside him, Brian, Norman Osborn's butler, also wore an incredulous expression.

If it weren't for the stinging pain emanating from my swollen thigh, reminding me that I wasn't dreaming.

Brian even doubted that he was fully awake.

Several tens of minutes later.

Norman Osborn changed his clothes, seemingly rid of his chronic illness.

Standing before the enormous full-length mirror in his room, feeling his body, which had regained its vitality and felt infinitely lighter, a genuine smile appeared on his face, and he exclaimed:

"It's so good to be alive!"

Brian, the butler who stood quietly behind Norman Osborn, also had a look of joy in his eyes.

For Norman Osborne, the butler of Osborne Estate, his recovery was undoubtedly good news.

At least, he doesn't have to worry about losing his well-paid job.

a long time.

After standing by the window for a long time, Norman Osborn finally spoke again:

"Brian, go and have Felicia inform all board members of the Osborne Group that I am holding a board meeting tomorrow at the Osborne Group building, and all board members must attend."

"Yes, sir."

After witnessing Norman Osborn's recovery, Brian, Norman's butler who had served him for over twenty years, quickly realized what his master was planning to do.

After news of Norman Osborn's serious illness leaked out, not only did the Osborn Group's stock price fluctuate wildly, but internally, undercurrents also began to stir.

Previously, Norman Osborn was so tormented by a hereditary disease in his family that he had neither the energy nor the inclination to deal with those things.

But now.

Everything is different now.

Brian, his spirits lifted, bowed slightly and immediately retreated.

In the mirror's reflection, after seeing Brian retreat, a barely perceptible glint of savagery and cruelty flashed in Norman Osborn's eyes.

"It's time to clean out a batch of rats."
