Superman Marvel Adventures

Follow and give more support! Helios laughed when he heard Adam's words, "Good, kid, Sul just told me about your performance in the test, and I'm very satisfied with it. And with what you just said, I'm entrusting my precious daughter to you." He then gently patted Adam's shoulder.

Christine said shyly, "Father! Why are you like this?"

Helios laughed and said, "What's there to be shy about? I didn't see you being shy just now. Alright, you're all grown up now, don't be shy, haha."

After hearing this, Sue rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Seriously, can't you just talk properly? Look at Christine, she's so embarrassed she's about to explode."

After reading this, Helios gently stroked Christine's hair and said, "Child, we have never seen you since the moment you were born. Although we have been watching over you ever since, we have never been able to be by your side. And we will have to return to Mount Olympus or Asgard in the future, so we will not be able to accompany you. We hope that you can live happily with Adam. Only then will we be at ease."

Christine burst into tears again after hearing this. Sue quickly hugged Christine and gently said, "It's alright, you're all grown up now, don't cry. Ah, we're not going to die, we still have thousands of years of life ahead of us. As long as you and Adam work together, we'll meet again someday. Don't cry, my heart starts to hurt when you cry."

Christine nodded gently and said, "Yes. I won't cry. I will try my best. I will definitely go to find you with Adam!"

Adam nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go with Christine and our child to see you in Asgard or on Mount Olympus. That's my promise as a man!"

Helios laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "Good, that's ambitious. Then we'll be waiting for you there. You know, the scenery of Asgard and Mount Olympus is quite beautiful. Maybe you'll like it."

After chatting for a while, Suer said, "Alright, we don't have much time on Earth, so I'd like to start training Christine now. Adam, you should go back first and come back in a week."

Adam nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll be going now. Christine, take care. I'll come back to pick you up in a few days."

Christine nodded and said, "Okay. Take good care of yourself. I will definitely learn skills that can help you. I will work hard so that I can fight alongside you in the future."

Adam laughed and said, "Alright, I think that day shouldn't be too far away. I'll be going now." Just as he was about to leave, Helios stopped him.

Helios took out a ring and handed it to Adam, saying, "I studied you after coming to Earth, so I know your defenses against magic and mystical energy are very weak. That's why I prepared this ring, which can absorb most magical attacks and store them. You can launch it whenever you want to use it; the incantation is 'The author is the coolest!'"

Adam didn't stand on ceremony. He put the ring away, wore it on his hand, and said, "Thank you for the gift. I'll be leaving now." After saying goodbye to Suer and the others, he left the Temple of the Sun.

After Adam left the Temple of the Sun, the signal that had been blocked by Sur was finally restored, and Athena's worried figure appeared before Adam.

"Master, are you alright? I was so worried when I realized we'd lost contact. Is Miss Christine alright?"

Adam laughed and said, "Alright, everything's fine now, and Christine is fine too, but she can't come back for the time being. We'll talk about the rest when I get back." With that, he took off and flew towards New York.

When Adam returned to New York, it was already the afternoon of the second day. He realized that he had spent almost a whole day there, so after returning home, he began to ask Athena some questions.

After hearing this, Athena said, "Nothing special has happened for the time being. By the way, Mr. Frank Cassel called you yesterday and said that Jack's situation was as he expected, so he is preparing to return to New York to avenge his wife."

Adam nodded and said, "Oh, is that so? Hehe, if Frank comes back, New York City might become even more lively."

Athena continued, "Also, since the police were also informed of Miss Christine's kidnapping that day, and many media outlets have already reported on Christine's kidnapping, should I notify those media outlets?"

Adam shook his head and said, "Let them write whatever they want. As long as I know where Christine is, that's enough. By the way, how's Tony doing?"

Athena said, "There are no problems with Tony. I just informed him. He seems to be designing some car parts."

Adam asked疑惑地, "Car parts? What does he want to do with them?"

Athena explained, "He acquired the company that manufactured the vehicle Mr. Howard used to ride in yesterday, which seems to have been designed for this man."

Adam nodded and said, "Let him do whatever he wants. By the way, has Magneto and the others made any moves?"

Athena shook her head and said, "No, it seems that all organizations have entered a dormant period and no special events have occurred, so there is no way to know Magneto's whereabouts."

Adam nodded and said, "Okay, that's all for now. I'm going to take a nap. Call me if you need anything!" After saying that, Adam took a shower, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

About two hours later, Adam was awakened by Athena, who informed him that a subway train had lost control and would derail in about thirty minutes. Upon hearing this, Adam was wide awake, put on his battle armor, and immediately flew away.

Adam spent five minutes getting to the front of the out-of-control subway car. Looking at the driver inside, who was still panicking, he said, "Hey, bro, it's me, Adam Stark. Are you alright?" This was said to put the driver at ease.

The driver was clearly in a panic. Hearing someone teasing him, he looked out the window blankly and then spotted Adam. He immediately shouted, "Ah, it's Mr. Adam Stark! Please save us! The train will definitely derail in a few minutes, and there will be a lot of casualties."

Adam nodded after hearing this and said, "Hmm, you've regained your senses. Then, please help me inform the passengers to keep quiet, hold on to the handrails and anything else that can secure them, because the train is about to stop!"

The driver nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll inform everyone right away. Please hurry, we don't have time."

Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry, we have plenty of time!" After saying that, he went to the front of the train, put his hands on the train, and slowly began to reduce the speed of the train.

What? Why can't we just stop the train with a sudden burst of force? Okay, that would definitely stop the train, but the people inside would be thrown out by inertia, which would definitely result in injuries or fatalities. Adam doesn't want that.

Sure enough, thanks to Adam's efforts, the train, though a bit bumpy, came to a relatively safe stop on the tracks. Athena quickly notified the subway management staff, who arranged for a team of rescue workers to safely transport the passengers to a nearby platform.

Adam didn't leave immediately. Instead, he hovered outside the window, waving and greeting the passengers inside. This wasn't because Adam was arrogant, but to calm the passengers and prevent them from making wrong choices due to panic and fear.

When the rescue team arrived, Adam was already by the window chatting with some children, telling them some adventure stories about the trail. Of course, they were all old stories, which could be seen from the adults' kind smiles.

Adam saw that the rescue team had arrived and said, "Alright, kids, that's all for today. You'll experience the other things when you grow up. Also, some of the things I just mentioned require superpowers, so don't try to imitate me or you'll get hurt."

The children nodded and said, "Yes, we definitely won't imitate them. We'll be good."

Adam was touched by the children's innocent smiles and said, "Well, I have to go now. Remember to call me if you need help in the future." He waved to the children and their parents and left. As for the rest, the rescue team would have to take care of it. Although Adam is a superhero, it doesn't mean he's a super babysitter. The follow-up matters can be left to the professionals. This is why everyone likes Adam as a superhero.

P.S.: Sorry for being a little late!

Chapter 108 Board of Directors

P.S.: I wrote the wrong chapter number in the previous one. If you want to correct it, I need to re-upload it. However, I usually rewrite it after each upload, so there are many differences between the original draft and the uploaded content. Please bear with it for now. Also, I'm still working overtime today. I uploaded one chapter in a little while, and I'll upload the other one later. Thank you for your support!

Adam has been back in New York for three days. In those three days, apart from a few special circumstances where he stepped forward to help the police resolve crises, Adam has spent the rest of his time at the company and at home and has not participated in any other activities.

That day, just after he arrived at the company, he received a call from Norman Osborn, who said that there had been a major discovery regarding the super serum and asked Adam to come and take a look. Of course, Adam understood Norman Osborn's implied meaning: he wanted Adam to support him in the board of directors. Therefore, Adam nodded and agreed to Norman Osborn's request.

Accompanied by his assistant, Adam arrived at the Osborn Corporation building and met Norman Osborn's personal assistant, a cold-faced woman with red hair. Adam suspected she might be a lesbian when they first met.

The woman looked at Adam and nodded slightly, saying, "Mr. Osborn is in his laboratory on the twelfth floor. He instructed me to take you directly in."

Adam said calmly, "Miss Victoria, by the way, I heard that there has been a new breakthrough with the Super Serum. Could you tell me more about it?"

The woman called Victoria remained expressionless and said in a very calm tone, "I'm not entirely sure about this matter. If you're not in a hurry, you can ask Mr. Osborne yourself." After saying that, she gestured for him to enter and then turned and walked away.

Adam sneered after reading it. He said, "Heh, making it all so mysterious." After saying that, he followed Victoria into the elevator and went to the laboratory on the twelfth floor, where they saw an excited Norman Osborn and several researchers with him.

Victoria approached Norman Osborn with ease and said, "Sir, Adam and Mr. Stark have arrived."

Norman Osborn turned around with a delighted expression. Looking at Adam, he said, "Hey Adam, long time no see! Come and take a look at these data. I think we're almost there."

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this, then walked to the computer. He glanced at the research data, nodded, and said, "Not bad. The most crucial step in producing the super serum has been completely cracked. As long as we can complete the final synthesis, I think the super serum can truly be manufactured."

Norman Osborn said, "Yes, humph, many people are unwilling to believe that our Osborn Corporation can develop a super serum. I think they should shut up now."

Unlike Stark Industries, Osborn Enterprises, though founded by Norman Osborn alone, inevitably received investment from others during its development due to funding issues. While some of these investors were genuinely passionate about the business, others were simply investing because they had money and were optimistic about the industry. Therefore, it was not uncommon for a shareholder to oppose certain projects due to a lack of industry knowledge.

And this has been the case these past few days as well. These shareholders have learned through their own channels that the military laboratory suffered significant losses due to a malfunction in its experiment, resulting in the creation of a monster like the Hulk. Therefore, they are worried about whether their company can complete the experiment independently, and thus oppose a series of decisions made by Norman Osborn, putting him in a very awkward position.

However, Norman Osborn eventually discovered that the only person who hadn't spoken at the shareholders' meeting was Adam Stark, who owned a significant number of shares. Therefore, upon hearing of the major breakthrough in today's experiments, he immediately called Adam to secure his support so he could continue developing the super serum.

As expected. At the shareholders' meeting that followed, when Adam clearly stated his support for Norman Osborn, some shareholders looked very unhappy. They were angry because they felt the experiment was unlikely to succeed and thought Adam and Norman Osborn would definitely bring disaster to the company. However, they had no choice but to comply, because the combined shares held by Norman Osborn and Adam Stark completely extinguished any will to resist.

Norman Osborn said with a hint of smugness, "Alright, everyone, I know some of you oppose me continuing this plan because you're afraid we'll create a monster and make you lose money. But you haven't considered the benefits you'll receive if this plan succeeds."

Upon hearing this, one of the older shareholders scoffed and said, "Heh, do you think you can accomplish what even Mr. Howard couldn't?"

Adam sneered, "Watch your mouth, sir. It's not that my father can't research the super serum, but that he doesn't want to create something like Red Skull again. And don't forget, this plan was introduced to Osborn Corporation by my father, because he recognized Osborn Corporation's strength."

Another shareholder stepped forward and asked, "So Mr. Adam means that there is a possibility that this plan will succeed?"

Adam smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry about that. With Mr. Osborne and me here, there's no way there will be any problems! I can guarantee that! Of course, the premise is that you have to trust Mr. Osborne and me, and not hold us back like you are now. Otherwise, Mr. Osborne and I can have every reason to remove you from the board of directors!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the dissenting shareholders immediately changed, turning incredibly grim.

Norman Osborn smiled slightly after reading it and said, "Of course, Adam was talking about the worst-case scenario, but I believe that now everyone will not object to us continuing this plan, right?"

The previous shareholder said in a deep voice, "Alright, Mr. Osborn, you win. But please remember your words. If this experiment goes wrong, don't blame us for turning our backs on you!"

Norman Osborn chuckled smugly and said, "Heh heh, that day will never come. I believe you'll all thank Adam and me later for making you even more dollars!"

The dissenting shareholders breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, as they did not want to damage their relationship with Norman Osborn and Adam, especially Adam, who was not only a renowned entrepreneur, scientist, and novelist, but also had a new identity: the superhero Behemoth. They were all afraid that if they angered Adam, they would be killed by him.

Of course, all of this was just their own speculation. Although Adam wouldn't actually do it, it doesn't stop others from thinking the wrong thing, since that's generally how people would think. Of course, Adam wouldn't care about any of that.

After the board meeting ended and all the shareholders left, Norman Osborn thanked Adam, saying, "Thank you, Adam. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to persuade these old fogies. After all, their combined strength is greater than mine, and I have to be careful."

Adam shrugged casually and said, "It's nothing. But Uncle Osborne, haven't you thought about buying back some shares? After all, doing this every time is very detrimental to your future work. Although we won this time, we won by a narrow margin against the other shareholders. If anything changes in the future, it will be too late to make plans."

Norman Osborn shook his head and said, "I have considered buying back those shares, but those people are all shrewd and didn't give me any chance. Of course, if you make a move, they might agree."

Adam was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and said, "Uncle Osborn, do you want me to acquire those shares? But aren't you worried that I'll take over your company?"

Norman Osborn laughed and said, "If you want to do evil, I don't think anyone in this world can stop you, so I still believe in you."

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Okay, Uncle Osborn, since you trust me so much, I'll give it a try this time and get those who are making the biggest fuss to obediently give up their shares. Then I'll sell them to you at market price."

Norman Osborn laughed and said, "Haha, sure, I bet those guys never imagined that the superhero Shadow, hailed as a champion of justice, would have this side to him, haha."

After hearing this, Adam said, "I am also a human being, and a businessman at that. I know my limits and will not cross my bottom line, so other things are irrelevant to me."

Norman Osborn nodded and said, "Heh, you're having a great time. Come on, I'll introduce you to some of our company's top scientists and some of the projects they're working on. I think the future market for these projects is very promising."

After hearing this, Adam said, "Hehe, I've been to the company a few times, but I've never seen these scientists. It's a real pity. It just so happens that I can go with my uncle to see them today. I think they'll welcome me."

Chapter 109 Visiting Osborn Enterprises

Adam was immediately intrigued when Norman Osborn invited him to visit the company's laboratories. Although he had visited Osborn Enterprises several times, he had never been inside any of the labs. This was a perfect opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Osborn Enterprises, so he readily accepted Norman Osborn's invitation.

As a biotechnology company, Osborn Corporation has most of its technological products and experiments related to biological sciences. Therefore, some of its laboratories require special facilities; otherwise, going in would be suicidal. Of course, Adam is an exception. However, when visiting Osborn Corporation today, Adam will not be given special treatment. Instead, he will put on a radiation protection suit along with Norman Osborn and enter the first laboratory.

Perhaps because Norman Osborne was in a good mood today, he personally introduced Adam to the group.

"Look, Adam, this is one of our company's experiments. It's mainly set up to treat AIDS. They're using various experiments to try and conquer AIDS. That man is Dr. Esta, who is in charge of this experiment. His son has AIDS, and that's what motivates him."

Adam shrugged after hearing this and said, "Hmm, not bad. If it could be developed, it might really benefit mankind. But I actually think it's better not to treat AIDS."

Norman Osborn was taken aback and asked, "Huh? Why would you think that?"

Adam shrugged and said, "I think AIDS is like a sword hanging over the heads of those who abuse their sexuality. With the threat of this sword, they won't go too far. If it weren't for this disease, they might be willing to spend the whole day in bed."

Norman Osborn was speechless after hearing Adam's bizarre reason, and could only say, "Hehehe, you little Fa is really interesting." After saying that, he led Adam to visit the next laboratory.

This lab is for cloning organs. However, there are very few people inside. According to Norman Osborn, the project was initially very popular, but after several clinical trials, it was found that the cloned organs had a very short lifespan. Therefore, many scientists have abandoned the experiment and turned to other paths. Now there are only three or four people conducting experiments in the entire lab.

After hearing this, Adam asked, "Since this project has failed, why didn't you stop it and let them continue developing it? After all, I imagine such a project would require a huge amount of funding, wouldn't it?"

Norman Osborn looked at the scientists who were busy at work and smiled, "My philosophy is that as long as there is still more than a 30% chance of success for a research project, and as long as there are people who are persistent in their research, then the project will not be stopped. Sometimes what these scientists need is not funding or other assistance, but our constant encouragement. Otherwise, they will give up after a few attempts when they encounter too many difficulties, and the company will suffer even greater losses."
