Chapter 459 Osborne Group's Counterattack

Click!

Ross slammed the phone aside and walked at a brisk pace to the conference research institute at the New York military base.

When he arrived at the door, he could already hear the huge noise and commotion inside. Without any hesitation, he didn't even knock and just slammed the door shut as he entered.

The loud commotion drew the attention of the officers who had been arguing in the conference room.

"General Ross?"

A man dressed in a suit, clearly different from the military officer's attire, looked surprised, seemingly not expecting the situation before him.

"The Osborn Group dares to challenge our military?"

"No, no, no, Your Excellency, the Osborn Group's actions are legal and compliant!"

"Legitimate cooperation? Damn it, they blatantly leaked secret military research projects, which has seriously damaged national defense interests! You're telling me their actions are legal and compliant?"

"No, sir, I need you to calm down first. Perhaps we can sit down and talk it over."

The man looked somewhat panicked; he seemed not to have expected General Ross to have such a significant impact on this public opinion storm.

That's right! A media storm!

Some media outlets are reporting that Norman Osborne, a director of the Osborne Group, was not in any trouble, but was secretly summoned by the military. However, this is only about that aspect.

The Osborne Group responded by speaking out after the news was reported in the media, hoping that the military would quickly send its boss to take charge.

Perhaps this is just a minor matter, but it's causing quite a stir right now because of the Osborne Group's plummeting stock price.

As America's leading biotechnology company, Osborne's stock is watched closely by millions, even tens of millions, of shareholders every moment.

It's not just the impact of the event itself that has affected other sectors to varying degrees. For example, the ripple effect caused by the plunge in Osborn Group's stock triggered a collective plunge in the entire biopharmaceutical sector on Nasdaq.

All biopharmaceutical companies suffered heavy losses, and pessimism prevailed across all industries, while shareholders lamented their plight.

Suddenly, a major event that could potentially save the Osborne Group emerged, and the media, like sharks smelling blood, couldn't stop reporting on it despite repeated warnings.

Now, fueled by public opinion, some people are directly dumping their shares in biopharmaceutical companies, and investors who have been suffering continuous losses are having their hopes rekindled.

Conspiracy theories even emerged about the New York Military District imprisoning Norman Osborn.

This directly shook the entire American stock market, which is why Ross was so angry.

In the minutes before he arrived, he received several phone calls, some from the military region and others from so-called politicians and members of Congress.

Now, he is in a complete mess.

Bang!

The chair was suddenly pulled out from under the table, and some officials who were close to General Ross even trembled involuntarily.

He casually grabbed the tea that had been prepared on the table, took a big gulp, and his face instantly turned from white to red. This sight made the officers sitting around him jump in fright.

"This project is not under my leadership; you will decide the specifics yourselves!"

Ross did have this in mind when researching the mutated wolf demon Norman Osborn, but because of Eternal Night's endorsement, he was actually more focused on the super soldier serum.

After all, compared to the hideous, destructive wolf demon, the success of the Super Soldier Serum saved America!

The difference in importance is self-evident!

"I do not agree to hand over Norman Osborn. His research value far exceeds that of Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier Serum. His powerful vitality, unparalleled strength, and even the speed of his genetic mutation are all worthy of our study! We must keep it no matter what. If we can control this power, we will completely safeguard the world's security!"

"Control this power? Ha, I think you've all seen it. That guy has completely turned into a beast. You should know that's Norman Osborn. If even someone like him couldn't resist, do you think our soldiers can?"

Ross remained silent, glancing at the man who didn't want to give up Normanos. That guy belonged to another faction in the New York Military District, a force that feared Eternal Night, and they had been keeping him in check.

The other person who voted against it was neutral, neither favoring nor opposing Eternal Night!

Ross, however, did not underestimate his opponents; on the contrary, he felt that these people were the most troublesome.

This guy gets involved in every collaborative project he spearheads with Eternal Night. Every project is infiltrated by him, and behind them stands the capital power of the United States!

Considering the connection between this incident and the others, Ross decided to first communicate with Lin Jue before deciding whether or not to hand over Norman Osborn.

……

In the research area of ​​a New York military base, Bruce Banner has just finished his work for the day in the gamma-ray research lab.

As is his usual practice, he went to visit other research groups out of curiosity, wanting to find out about their progress.

However, when he arrived at the experimental center, he saw a group of overwhelmed researchers, and certain information in their conversation caught his attention.

"The Wolf Demon research project will be temporarily suspended, pending orders from higher authorities to determine its future."

"What? Is the military really going to abandon the wolf demon experiment? That's impossible! This is the most important biological asset in history! Unless they've lost their minds, they will never give up this project!"

"Perhaps we can preserve some of the body tissue. The vitality of the wolf demon cell cluster is comparable to that of the mutant with advanced healing genes that I obtained last time."

"No, no, no, a single cluster of cells is nowhere near as valuable as a complete living organism!"

"Stop arguing! The fate of the wolf demon experiments is not something we can decide!"

"Damn idiots, they have no idea what this test subject means. Maybe we can break Eternal Night's monopoly in the field of supernatural biological research!"

"..."

Bruce Banner silently walked through the research discussion area. Unlike the researchers there, he was in charge of research on gamma rays and super soldier serum.

He didn't understand why he was chosen as the sole researcher in charge of this project; to be honest, he was also extremely curious about the wolf demon experiment.

Arriving in the changing room, Bruce Banner changed out of his white coat and, after undergoing multiple checks, finally left the military district's experimental area. In a sense, he was an external employee and could leave the military district directly.

Back in his small rented room, Bruce leaned back on the sofa, gently rubbing his temples. His experimental project had made some new progress in the past few days, and he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time!
