Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 52 If you can't beat them, join them

The live television broadcast then switched to footage of New York police arresting Harry.

"In addition to successfully arresting Harry Osborn, police also discovered a body suspected to be Norman Osborn. Because the body had been burned at high temperatures, dental records need to be compared to confirm its true identity."

Not many people know that after Harry was arrested, he saw Black Mask in the hospital under police surveillance.

“Who…who are you?”

Ang didn't answer him, but continued, "I promised someone I wouldn't kill you. But that doesn't mean you can live a happy life in prison."

Many prisons in the United States are privately owned. Wealthy people can easily pay to stay in a villa-like cell. Apart from the lack of so-called freedom, nothing else is a problem.

Harry, who had suffered multiple fractures in his arms and legs, screamed, "Police! Police! Someone come quick, help me—"

"Go ahead and scream! Scream until your throat is hoarse, no one will come to save you." The eyes behind the black mask flashed with a cruel light.

Ang stepped forward and, with the force of lifting Harry's skull, lifted him up like an eagle snatching a chick.

"Please give my regards, Professor Yang!"

The next second, hundreds of volts of electricity shot out from Ang's palm.

"Waaaaahh ...

If Ang wanted, he could easily roast Harry's brain into a 'caramel pudding'. He very 'gently' gradually controlled the voltage, working on Harry's brain until Harry lost control of his bladder and bowels, and a stench spread. Only then did the system give a notification:

[The host has successfully destroyed Harry Osborn's brain. An examination has confirmed that he has entered a state of dementia.]

Watching Harry, who was drooling and making incomprehensible "abba aba" sounds, Ang left with satisfaction.

No video evidence was left behind.

New York was in an uproar the next day.

Due to the scandal involving the Osborne family, the stock price of the Osborne Group plummeted from the opening bell, dropping by 89% on the first day.

Ang made a fortune just like that.

It's important to understand that short selling uses borrowed shares. Ang is essentially using the money for one lot of shares to borrow four lots of shares, so he can make four times the profit or lose four times the loss.

He used all of Stark Industries' stock as collateral and made a fortune that left people numb.

He made a killing, while someone else suffered huge losses.

Silicon Valley Bank went bankrupt due to huge losses caused by its large holdings of Osborne Group stock.

However, I would rather die than see my fellow Daoist die.

Ang, seemingly detached from the situation, became a recognized supernova on Wall Street.

They take down one buddy with a single shot.

Anger burned one household registration booklet at a time.

His success was built on the graves of Osborn and his son.

However, Ang rejected the so-called invitations from Wall Street and other investment funds, and appeared in a place that most people would not expect.

"Mrs. Tooms and Miss, this is all I can do for Adrian."

What was placed in front of Liz and her mother was a funding contract with a series of business terms that were enough to confuse them both.

They could only vaguely understand that they and their daughter had met a benefactor.

Due to the different timeline, this incarnation of "Vulture" hasn't achieved anything remarkable. The only certainty is that the villa under "Vulture's" name was purchased with an installment loan.

If history unfolds as it did, after Adrian is captured by Peter, the Toms will be impoverished due to the seizure of Adrian's property, and will have to move out of the mansion and back to their hometown, completely out of Peter Parker's sight.

This is a tragedy resulting from a youthful love story being defeated by reality.

In this life, Ang used his wealth to solve everything.

Liz, her eyes red and swollen with large dark circles under her eyes after losing her father, asked, "I don't understand, Mr. Ang, why are you helping us?"

"Peter Parker!" The name uttered by Ang gave Liz a tremendous shock: "I think you know what I mean."

Liz stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

"What am I supposed to do?"

"It's nothing, just let your relationship with him develop normally. Of course, don't be jealous," Ang said mysteriously.

Liz seemed to understand something: "Are you trying to control Peter?"

"No, no, no, I'm just doing my duty as an 'observer'," Ang said, saying something he himself didn't believe. But in reality, he needed an 'eye' to keep an eye on Peter. After all, Spider-Man was one of the core characters in the zombie universe. Nothing could keep an eye on Peter better than someone right beside him.

The Toms mother and daughter had no reason to refuse.

That afternoon, Peter saw Liz arrive at his door and immediately felt a pang of guilt.

Unexpectedly, Liz let out a soft moan and threw herself into Peter's arms, expressing her grief over losing her father and her love for Peter.

Without realizing it, Peter hugged Liz, feeling like his merits had decreased by 233.

Everything seemed to be back on track, until...

On this day, Ang was taking a bath in his villa.

The 30-square-meter hot spring pool faces the beautiful lake view. Looking at the swaying maple forest outside the window and feeling the birds singing and flowers blooming, Ang is very comfortable leaning against the pool.

The wealth his illegitimate father had given him was too good to pass up. He was now rich enough to rival his father's wealth, but the thought of Batman's ruthless face made Ang angry.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how much he squanders, he can't possibly squander all of Wayne Group's money.

However, things can change in an unpredictable way.

Wayne Enterprises has a history of problems.

As the pool water rippled up and down, Ang was enjoying the pleasure of the hydro-massage beneath the surface when suddenly, a hand wearing a white glove hung down from the roof near the hinged door of the hot spring pool.

"Knock knock!"

A very polite knock on the door.

Ang's left eyebrow twitched, but he still said, "The door isn't closed."

A woman's voice drifted in from outside: "Kratos, may that lady leave first?"

Ang patted the water's surface, and the next second, Miss Canary emerged from the water, glanced outside with a complex expression, then gracefully wrapped herself in a towel and drifted away.

Gwen climbed over the roof to get in.

This scene was somewhat terrifying; a black and white Spider-Woman suddenly burst in, and most normal people would have screamed.

"When did you find out?" Ang stretched out his arms comfortably and leaned against the poolside.

"I had a feeling about it before. After seeing your two assistants last night, I confirmed it. After all, their voices are so easy to recognize." Gwen used her spider silk to hang herself upside down.

The classic Spider-Man pose – hands gripping the webs, with long, shapely legs hanging upside down, forming a diamond shape with the webs between them.

The two stared at each other with their perspectives reversed.

"I forgot to add a voice changer for them." Ang wasn't annoyed. "Alright, Miss Stacy, your sudden visit ruined my plans. How are you going to make it up to me?"

Gwen ripped off her mask, revealing a strikingly beautiful and intellectual face: "You want me to pay for it myself?"

"Oh? Is it because I'm Kratos, or because I'm the rich Ang?"

"For Kratos, who saved me so many times." Gwen kissed him without hesitation, only to have her red lips blocked by Ang's index finger.

"You should know my situation."

Gwen blinked. "Of course, I learned from Peter that 'good men are hard to come by.'"

"not enough."

"Another one is 'If you can't beat them, join them'."

Ang finally smiled.

As Ang stood up, she continued to gnaw further down the mountain.
