Adam was immediately filled with admiration for Norman Osborn after hearing this, and said, "Hehe, having a chairman like you is truly a blessing for those scientists. Even Stark Industries wouldn't have such a rule. No wonder so many scientists are eager to work here, hehe. With such a platform and such support, there's bound to be someone who succeeds. As long as a small portion of those people succeed, the company's investment will definitely be recouped. This is a good idea; perhaps I can recommend it to Tony."

Norman Osborn said, "Heh, let's go. There's nothing left to see here. I'll take you to see the other doctors."

Adam nodded and followed Norman Osborn on a tour of more laboratories, where he saw many interesting experiments and gained some inspiration. If it weren't for the fact that leaving abruptly would have been very impolite, Adam might have left Osborn Corporation immediately.

Norman Osborn led Adam into a laboratory and said, "This is Dr. Kurt Connors' laboratory. He is researching a technology that can regenerate limbs. He himself is disabled, so he understands the pain of disabled people. His research project has reached a bottleneck, but I believe that once it overcomes this bottleneck, it will be able to complete the project."

Adam nodded after listening and said, "This is indeed a good project, but what kind of organism's genes does Dr. Connors plan to use?"

After hearing this, Norman Osborn said, "Dr. Connors screened many animal species and finally chose the lizard. Is there anything wrong with that choice?"

Adam frowned after hearing this and said, "There shouldn't be any problems, but we have to see the nature of the lizard we choose. If Dr. Connors chooses a lizard that is inherently ferocious, using that lizard's genes might affect the person who uses the drug and cause them to change drastically."

Upon hearing this, Norman Osborn said, "It can't possibly have turned out like this. I checked his records before, and there were no problems with the data. Moreover, the white mice used in the experiment showed no abnormalities."

After hearing this, Adam said, "This should be experimental data before it is successful. If the lizard's genes and the injected organism are completely compatible, there may be side effects. I think it would be better if you kept an eye on it, after all, such a mistake is not good for the company's image."

Just then, a middle-aged man with one arm, wearing a white coat and glasses, frowned and said, "I don't quite agree with what Mr. Adam said. I think that human genes suppress the brutality factor in lizard genes. After all, humans are thinking animals and are not driven by instinct."

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "I think this must be Dr. Connors. I am not against your experiment, but I fully approve of it. I can imagine what the world will be like if this experiment succeeds. However, I am a little worried that the brutality factor in the lizard's genes may affect human judgment, exacerbate the evil in human nature, and make those who use the drug even more brutal."

Dr. Connors frowned upon hearing this and said, "But do you really want me to just give up my experiment like this?"

Adam shook his head and said, "No, I know that asking you to give up your experiments would be like taking someone else's wife. So I'm not asking you to give up your experiments, but rather to pay more attention during the experiments, especially when preparing for clinical trials. If possible, you could add some genes from other animals as a buffer, which might lead to better results."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Connors suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "That's right, how come I didn't think of that before? Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Adam. Perhaps this way we can develop an even more perfect drug."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "No need to thank me, Doctor. After all, this is your own experiment. I just have a clearer view as an outsider. Doctor is a little impatient because you are so eager to succeed. I believe you will succeed, so relax and take your time. No one will rush you."

Norman Osborn nodded and said, "That's right. As long as I'm still with this company, there's no way anything will happen that will pressure the researchers. If you receive any threats or pressure from anyone, you can tell me, and I'll handle it promptly."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Connors said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Adam. I just want to get to the experiment as soon as possible. I'll leave now." He then hurriedly left.

Upon seeing this, Adam smiled and said, "Congratulations, Uncle Osborn! You'll soon have a product that will further enhance the reputation of the Osborn Enterprises."

Norman Osborn asked in surprise, "Oh? You have such a high opinion of Dr. Connors, that's quite unusual."

Adam smiled apologetically and said, "I must apologize in advance, Uncle Osborn. Because I was so concerned about this experiment, I just peeked at some of Dr. Connors' records. That's why I was able to determine that the experiment had been rushed and that I could trust Dr. Connors to succeed." He had indeed used Athena to hack into Osborn Corporation's mainframe and check Dr. Connors' data, which was why he was able to conclude that he would succeed.

Well, DaQidian has really messed me up. The chapter that was supposed to be uploaded before midnight has been delayed until now. I'm so frustrated!!!

Chapter 110 Frank Cassel is back

Norman Osborn just chuckled and said, "Hehe, it's nothing. If you hadn't looked at Dr. Connors's file, we wouldn't have known that he might be being coerced."

However, Adam neither knew nor wanted to know what was going on in his mind, because Adam also had his own pride. If he hadn't seen that this was a relatively valuable experiment, Adam certainly wouldn't have even looked at it.

Afterwards, Adam and Norman Osborn visited other parts of the company and found very few experiments or inventions that caught their eye. However, Adam quickly came to terms with it. If inventions and research could be innovative so quickly, the world would not need any geniuses, since everyone would be a genius back then.

Just as Adam and Norman Osborn finished viewing the Osborn Enterprises, Adam's phone rang. He opened it and saw it was Frank Cassel calling. Adam apologized to Norman Osborn and then answered the phone.

"Hey Frank, what made you think of calling me? Did you arrive already?"

Frank Cassel's calm voice came through: "Not bad. I didn't expect that the drug you gave Jack could accelerate his mental growth. He has fully grown into a twenty-something adult and I don't need to worry about him too much. Moreover, it was he who suggested going back. Hehe, I called you as soon as I arrived in New York."

After hearing this, Adam said, "Hehe, I think you've heard about me before. Come straight to my villa. I'm in the Osborn Enterprises building right now and I'll be going back in a bit. I'll let Athena know; she knows Jack."

Frank Cassel nodded and said, "Okay, see you later." He then hung up the phone. After all, he was still a wanted man and couldn't just walk around on the street.

Adam put away the phone and returned to Norman Osborne's side. He said, "Uncle Osborne, I'm sorry, something came up at home, so I'm afraid we won't be able to have dinner together."

Norman Osborne smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, no rush, there will be opportunities in the future. Since you have already promised, go back."

Adam nodded and said, "Okay, if Dr. Connors' research makes any new breakthroughs, please give me a call. I want to witness a miracle; I think it will be a memorable day."

Norman Osborne laughed heartily and said, "Alright, thank you for your kind words. I will definitely let you know when the time comes, and we will witness the birth of a miracle together."

After saying goodbye to Norman Osborn, Adam didn't fly through the streets after his identity was revealed. Instead, he drove his sports car home with a roar. This was because he knew that although his superhero identity had been exposed, ordinary people, while admiring Adam, also felt a deep-seated fear of him and dared not block his path for an autograph. Of course, Adam didn't feel this was a bad thing, as he had previously worried that his life would be affected.

Alright. Enough of the digression. When Adam returned home, he learned from Athena that Frank Cassel and his son had arrived. So, after parking his car, he went into the living room and saw Jack chatting with Athena while drinking coffee, and Frank Cassel sitting next to Jack, smiling at his son.

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Hey, Jack. Frank, how are you?"

Frank Cassel laughed and said, "Ah, hello, haha, I really didn't expect you to be the superhero Shadow."

Adam shrugged and said, "If it were that easy for people to guess, what would be the point of being a superhero? Heh."

Jack stood up at that moment and said, "Thank you for saving me earlier, Uncle Adam."

Adam waved his hand and said, "Alright, as long as you don't resent me for making you lose your wonderful childhood, that's fine. Also, since you're already so old, it's better not to call me uncle, otherwise I'll feel like I'm very old."

After hearing this, Jack scratched his head and said, "Alright, Adam, I know you did this to heal my injuries, so I won't resent you. In fact, I'm grateful to you for helping me through what might have been a sad period. If I didn't have this kind of mindset now, I might be pestering my father for my mother right now."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Alright, as long as you don't resent me, that's fine. So, how was it? Did you experience life as a man with your father?"

Upon hearing this, Jack immediately became interested and said, "Yes, I went to Africa with my father. I saw many things there and have learned all of my father's fighting skills. Even my father is no match for me."

After hearing this, Adam patted Jack on the shoulder and said, "Well done, haha, now you can help your father."

Jack said dejectedly after reading it, "Uncle Adam, you told me not to call you uncle, but you still treat me like a child."

Adam immediately apologized, saying, "Okay, okay, it was my fault, haha. But did you really learn all of Frank's skills?"

Frank Castle nodded and said, "Yeah, Jack is like a born warrior now. If he weren't less experienced than me, I think I might not be able to beat this brat right now."

Jack snorted after hearing this and said, "Ten to three, that's my record against my father. And my father only won three matches at the beginning. After that, I won ten matches against him. From that time on, my father said that I didn't have enough experience and never fought me. I think he was scared."

Frank Caesar laughed and scolded, "Look at this kid, he's starting to get arrogant now, hehe."

However, Adam noticed that Frank was very satisfied with his son. Although he had just said something rather proud, Jack's eyes were clear and showed no sign of pride. This showed that Jack was just joking with his father. It can be said that Jack has truly grown up.

Adam asked, "By the way, what are your plans after you get back?"

Upon hearing this, Frank Cassel's eyes flashed with a glint of shrewdness, and he said, "I think it's time to make those people pay the price."

Upon hearing this, Adam suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "After I've taken my revenge, you and your son can stay and help me, how about that?"

Frank Cassel was taken aback and asked, "Help you? What do you mean? I don't want to be dependent on others anymore."

Adam shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I didn't mean to help Adam Stark, but to help my other identity, the Shadow!"

Jack immediately became interested and asked, "Does helping Shadow Strike mean we become assistants to superheroes, just like in the movies?"

Adam shook his head and said, "What I need isn't an assistant, but a partner in justice. I mean, I want you to become superheroes too. I've found that the New York underworld is getting a bit too rampant, and I can't directly intervene, so I need Frank, you to learn from..."

"Some of i's techniques involve obtaining evidence through violence to bring those people to justice."

Frank became interested after hearing this and asked, "Oh, can evidence obtained through violence really be used?"

Adam explained, “I’ve bought the Daily Bugle. We have our own media power. If you can gather all the evidence, I can put those people in jail.”

Upon hearing this, Jack exclaimed happily, "Great! Now that I've learned all these skills, I finally have a chance to put them to use. And I remember you still owe me a suit, Adam. Did you ever think about making me a superhero?" Although he had developed a complete mind, he was still young and had a yearning for superheroes.

Frank Caesar replied, "Let me think about it. And let's talk about this after I've taken my revenge. I don't want to be distracted by anything else right now."

Adam laughed and said, "Of course, this is just an idea that came to me after seeing you two. My strength is limited, and I can't guarantee that I can help others all the time. That's why I want you to become superheroes. Of course, you can think about it first. After all, this has to be done voluntarily, otherwise it will lose its meaning. I hope you can think about it carefully. Of course, I can provide you with the equipment."

Chapter 111 Superman!

Frank Castle was indeed somewhat tempted after hearing this; after all, he enjoyed this kind of exciting life. Last time, if it weren't for his young child and the fact that his beloved wife was still alive, he wouldn't have gone to F...

He was retiring, but he didn't want to agree to Adam's offer so quickly, not because he didn't trust Adam, but out of caution.

Adam knew all this, so he simply stated his proposal, then started talking about other things, and then they ate dinner together and went back to their bedroom.

He suddenly had an inspiration. When Frank Kasso was making a superhero, he remembered some things about an organization called the "Justice League." He vaguely remembered that some things were very important to him, but he couldn't remember what they were. So he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Natasha.

He thought of Natasha, and then of Christine who was undergoing training, and after these random thoughts, he fell asleep.

After Adam fell asleep, he had a very long dream. In the dream, he was a child born on an alien planet. As soon as he was born, his parents put him in a life pod and floated into space. Eventually, he came to Earth and was adopted by a couple who lived on a farm.

He then grew up happily on the farm, though there were some things that bothered him. He discovered that he was different from others, which caused some minor friction with his father. However, under his father's persuasion and influence, he grew into a happy young man.

What happened next was typical: college, dating, a first date, a breakup, and so on. Finally, this young man matured. He left the farm for the big city, became a journalist, and then, through a series of coincidences and driven by his conscience, transformed into a superhero. He became known as Superman!

And so Superman ascended to godhood step by step, bringing together several like-minded superheroes to form a massive superhero team. What followed was like a movie, exciting and rich, captivating Adam without him even realizing it.

Ultimately, his greatest nemesis appeared: his best friend from his youth, an entrepreneur named Lex Luthor, with whom he had been very close. However, due to various reasons, the two eventually became estranged enemies.

Lex Luthor is highly intelligent, and he always manages to commit crimes almost flawlessly. If it weren't for the help of Batman, the brains of the Justice League, Superman might have lost to Lex Luthor's schemes several times.

In the final battle, Superman fought a formidable enemy due to Lex Luthor's scheme, but was ultimately defeated and punched into the ground. And that was the end of it, because Adam woke up.

Adam, who never sweated, was now drenched in sweat, panting heavily. He remembered—he finally remembered his identity, the island he had landed on after entering the atmosphere, and the kind-looking man who had spoken to him—his father, Howard Stark.

Adam stood up, drew back the curtains, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and sighed softly. "So that's how it is. No wonder these memories keep flashing through my mind; they're actually my own memories. Heh. I've always wanted to find my identity, but I never imagined it would be like this. I'm from another world, a superhero from another world. But what about the last memory? Who was that enemy? Why does it feel so familiar? And even though I've remembered things from another world, why is my thinking still primarily Adam Stark, and not the more mature Clark Kent?"

Just then, Athena suddenly appeared and asked, "Master, what happened?"

Adam shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just remembered some things, and some things came to mind."

Athena was even more confused after hearing this and asked, "Huh? I don't understand at all! What happened?"

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Alright, Athena, I'm fine. I just finally know my origins. I wasn't born in this world, or more accurately, not born in this universe. I came from another universe, Earth, a world that is more dangerous and more wonderful than this one."

Athena exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, another universe really exists? If I didn't know that you, Master, never lie, I might have thought you were talking in your sleep!"

Adam laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, hehe, not bad. If I hadn't just remembered the memories of another world, I might never have known that this world is bigger and more wonderful than I imagined."

Athena asked, "Master, who are you in the other world? Are you a superhero too?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right, I was indeed a superhero in another world. But there's something I find strange. Why is it that even though I've remembered many things, including those from that world, I haven't changed at all? In fact, I feel like I lived a very tiring life in the last world. Haha, it's like I'm watching someone else's story."

After hearing this, Athena said, "Perhaps it's because the master's memories haven't fully returned. Of course, maybe the master himself subconsciously felt that life in another world was a bit tiring, so he subconsciously rejected the other identity as his master's consciousness."

Adam agreed with her reasoning. He also felt repressed about his life in his previous world. The person he loved had to break up with him for various reasons, and then he fell in love with someone else, but that person loved his hidden identity as Superman, not his original identity, Clark Kent. It was a very conflicted life, and Adam really didn't want to live like that, so he agreed with Athena's idea.

Adam laughed and said, "Alright, let's not think about it anymore. Now that I've remembered the past, I can finally put one of my worries aside and start a new life."

After hearing this, Athena said, "Hehe, I thought my master's personality was going to change."

Adam smiled slightly, revealing a relaxed and sunny smile he had never shown before, and said gently, "Don't worry, Athena, I don't feel uncomfortable with my new identity at all, and I don't want to live that saintly life like before. I think this kind of life is the most suitable for someone like me, so I won't change it. Okay, I'm going to rest now, don't worry about me."

Athena breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved, hehe." Then she disappeared.

Adam pondered by the window for a while before going back to bed and falling asleep. This time, he didn't dream at all and slept very peacefully.

The next day, after Adam got up and had breakfast with Frank Cassel and the others, he left the villa and drove to the Daily Bugle. He was there to finalize his name. Of course, he couldn't just say he wanted to change his name himself. Instead, he wanted to communicate with the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle and have them officially recognize the name Superman as an ordinary viewer, because he preferred Superman to the name Shadow of the Storm!
