American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 453 Who said Norman is dead?

"Sir, may I ask which manager of Yongye Biotechnology you are?"

Harry Osborne asked in a tone that sounded somewhat timid for the first time in his life.

He hadn't forgotten his previous experience accompanying Norman Osborne to the Evernight Building to broaden his horizons. On that occasion, they visited Aldridge, the financial manager of Evernight Capital, who, in a sense, was the number three figure in Evernight.

Even though he primarily manages the Eternal Night Fund, he still has his own office in the Eternal Night Bio Building.

Harry Osborn was deeply impressed by the time they went to the third-to-last floor of the Evernight Tower.

Now, looking at the floor that represented the highest authority of the Eternal Night Creatures, Harry Osborn began to feel uneasy.

He hadn't seen Eve for a very long time!

"You're very lucky. Grand Duke Eternal Night happens to have time today. He heard about the Osborn Group's affairs and specifically asked me to summon you up!"

"The Grand Duke of Eternal Night?!" x2!

Harry Osborne and Donald Parker spoke almost in unison, as they were caught in a complex mix of emotions, including shock, bewilderment, surprise, and trepidation.

The elevator doors opened.

Looking at that familiar figure, Donald Park almost trembled with excitement. Heaven knows how much he had longed to see Lin Jue again since their last parting.

He thought of his daughter, Evalin, and the current state of his company.

If we can take this opportunity to go further...

Donald Park could hardly imagine what the future held.

Money? Power?

Doesn't that mean you have everything?

"Mr. Donner, I never expected to see you again after so many days!"

Lin Jue smiled and reached out to shake hands with the flattered Donald T.

"It is an honor for Donner to see Duke Eternal Night again!"

Donald Park's old face beamed with enthusiasm, but after relaxing, he unconsciously rubbed his hands together, revealing his inner tension.

"Harry Osborne? Tsk... You weren't this tall last time I saw you, were you? I never imagined that things would change so much now!"

Lin Jue looked at the somewhat uneasy Harry Osborn, walked straight up to him, put his arm around the young man's shoulder, and patted him on the shoulder.

"I've heard about your father's situation. My condolences, child!"

"Duke..."

Seeing Lin Jue's unexpected intimacy, Harry Osborne's eyes welled up with tears; for the first time, he felt the warmth of humanity.

Unlike Peter Parker's greetings from a friend, Lin Jue's care and greetings were imbued with power due to his identity and special status, finally offering a sliver of comfort to Harry Osborne, who was already on the verge of collapse.

The three sat down, and the bloodline servants served some snacks and tea.

"Try them! These are desserts from my hometown. Trust me, they'll give you a unique experience!"

Lin Jue smiled and picked up a plum blossom-shaped cake first. He took a bite and found it sweet and chewy.

Seeing this, Harry Osborne and Donald Park quickly picked up a piece each, one of which was a matcha cookie and the other was a red bean paste cookie.

As Lin Jue was savoring the moment.

"Delicious! This is absolutely delicious! No wonder it's the cuisine of His Excellency the Duke's hometown. I'm used to eating grilled seafood, but this is the first time I've ever had such a delicious pancake!"

"..."

Harry Osborne stared in disbelief at Donald Park, who was praising the cookie wildly and devouring it in just a few bites.

To be honest, this "cookie" tastes pretty good, but it's definitely not so delicious as to be exaggerated.

Is this the reason for Donald Park's rise to prominence?

Harry Osborne secretly observed Lin Jue's subtle expressions, and he keenly noticed the curve of the corners of Lin Jue's mouth.

Damn! Is this what a seasoned veteran is like? What a smooth operator!

Thinking of this, Harry Osborn followed suit, showering the audience with all sorts of praise and compliments.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to suit your tastes so well. When you leave, I'll have my servants prepare some extra for you to take back with you!"

Lin Jue chuckled. He knew exactly what the two people in front of him were thinking, but since they had come to him so eagerly, he naturally accepted it.

Neither Donald Park nor Harry Osborne had any conflict of interest with him!

After a satisfying meal, Lin Jue leaned back on the sofa and looked at the two men: "Now it's time to get down to business!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donald Park, who wanted to "make a good impression" in front of Lin Jue, sighed and took control, leaving Harry Osborn, who was about to explain his situation, frozen in place.

"Duke, have you heard about the current situation of the Osborne Group building? Good heavens, the entire board of directors has been almost completely wiped out, and even Mr. Osborne has disappeared. This is undoubtedly a major blow to the Osborne Group."

"Because I learned about the partnership between the Osborne Group and your company, and seeing those people kicking me when I'm down made me furious, so I specifically sought out Harry, hoping to help their company..."

Looking at Donald's animated gestures and then at Harry sitting next to him with a gloomy expression, Lin Jue shook his head.

"I've heard about it. Aldridge personally reported to me about what happened to the Osborn Group. Although Eternal Night Bio owns nearly half of the Osborn Group's shares, that doesn't mean we'll just throw money out of our mouths to fill such a huge hole!"

Lin Jue didn't care much about the Osborn Group. Everyone understands the principle of "out of sight, out of mind," especially Osborn. Many people wanted him to fall. As one of the top biotechnology companies in the United States, its value goes far beyond what it appears.

Once Harry Osborne can't hold on, those who previously kicked him while he was down will definitely flock back to seize the spoils.

Eternal Night Biotechnology also had this idea.

After all, putting aside the surface, Yongye Bio is particularly interested in the Osborn Group's talent and biological research bases located in various places, which are a rich asset.

If they can seize this opportunity to completely absorb Osborn, then Eternal Night Bio will leap into the behemoth of the entire American biotechnology industry and sweep everything away!

Even Tony's Stark Industries would be defeated. This would be a monopoly in one field, far different from the phenomenon of the military industry flourishing in various places!

However, while Lin Jue was somewhat interested in it, he had some other ideas.

Seeing Harry Osborn's increasingly somber expression, it seemed he had realized Lin Jue wasn't planning to intervene. Lin Jue then looked at Donald Park, who seemed to want to recruit him to help save Osborn, and chuckled, "Who said Norman Osborn is dead?"

"???!"
