Christine was slightly startled upon seeing this; the distance between them was far too close. She didn't have time to use magic to deflect the attacks, so she could only unleash a dazzling golden light to protect herself. This was due to Christine's lack of experience; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so close to the Green Goblin. Fortunately, although Christine didn't have much experience, her strength was among the strongest on Earth. Therefore, the defensive magic she hastily used easily blocked the Green Goblin's attacks.
Of course, although Christine had blocked the Green Goblin's attack, she was also thrown back by the impact of the explosion, and the eggshell crashed into the wall of the building behind her, forming a deep circular crater.
Spider-Man was startled. He quickly shot out a web and arrived at the hole in the wall, saying, "Hey, are you alright?" He then stuck his head out to look at the hole.
How could Christine, protected by defensive magic, be injured? She shook her head and floated out of the pit, saying, "I'm fine. Where's the Green Goblin?"
Spider-Man awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I saw you get knocked away, so I was so worried about you that I let Green Goblin get away."
Christine gritted her teeth after hearing this, and said somewhat unwillingly, "My strength is clearly greater than Green Goblin's, yet he got away! It seems he was right, I really should train some more."
Spider-Man, intrigued, asked, "The 'he' you were talking about isn't Superman, is it? What's your relationship with him?"
Just then, a faint voice came over: "Hey little spider, what business is it of yours what my relationship with the Sun Goddess is? You two are really something. Both of you are much stronger than this guy, and you still almost got defeated. I really don't know what to say!"
Christine and Spider-Man were stunned when they heard this. They then saw Adam holding Green Goblin upside down in one hand and holding a flying machine in the other, hovering in mid-air. Green Goblin had completely lost consciousness.
Christine pouted, unconvinced, and said, "It's because I have no experience. If I participated in more battles, I would definitely be able to capture the Green Goblin as easily as you. I know that when you first started out, you were also toyed with by the enemy several times."
Adam rolled his eyes at this and said, "Why don't you mention my strength back then? Anyway, now that we've caught this guy, let's see who the infamous Green Goblin really is!" He then reached out and removed the Green Goblin's mask, only to find that the person wasn't Bart as Adam had assumed. This made him frown, thinking to himself, 'Could I have really guessed wrong? Impossible! Or is there more than one Green Goblin!?'
Seeing Adam frown, Christine asked, "Huh, what happened? Do you know this person?"
Adam shook his head and said, "Something's not right, Spider-Man. I've already knocked this guy out. He can't wake up so easily. You hand him over to the police for questioning first. I'll go to Oxcorp to see if anything has been stolen."
Spider-Man nodded and said, "Leave it to me!" He then tied Green Goblin up with his webs and lowered him to the ground.
After watching Spider-Man walk away, Christine asked, "Adam, what happened? Is there something wrong with Green Goblin?"
Adam nodded and said, "That's right. Athena and I previously guessed that Bart Hammerton, who was in charge of researching the Super Serum at Oakham Corporation, was the most likely culprit. But I just had Athena check him out; he's a patient from Oakham Psychiatric Hospital. We just don't know what kind of conspiracy is involved. And don't you think Green Goblin's actions are a bit strange? He clearly came to steal the Super Serum data and the original solution, so why is he swaggering here and getting spotted by the police and media?" (Participate now! Everyone wins a prize!

Chapter 150 Feint to the East, Attack in the West
Christine immediately understood Adam's meaning and asked, "Are you saying the real Green Goblin staged a feint for us?"
Adam nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I think too. Of course, it's all just my guess, which is why I want to go to the key laboratory of Auster Corporation to see if anything has been stolen."
After hearing this, Christine said, "I'll go with you; perhaps I can be of help."
Adam nodded and said, "Yes, you can come with me. I happen to need your magical help. Since Bart has come up with this way to prove that he is indeed dead, I think he won't leave us any more leverage."
He knew that Christine had learned many spells from the Odin pantheon, so he thought that Christine might actually know a few spells that could help him, since sometimes technology might not be as useful as magic.
Christine smiled and said, "I'm glad I could help you. I thought you weren't happy with my performance today."
Adam snorted and said, "You're one to talk. If you hadn't been so nervous during the battle today, and hadn't been so preoccupied with whether I would be angry, your performance today would definitely have been better. You might even have been able to capture that Green Goblin yourself."
Christine said coquettishly, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to fight alongside you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so nervous. I'm really good when I fight my father."
Adam gently pinched Christine's nose and said, "Isn't it because you're Helios's daughter? Otherwise, do you really think you can do it so easily? Even if I stood in front of Helios or Sull, I would feel very small. Their aura is just too powerful. Although they have toned it down a lot, they still make me feel threatened."
Christine was taken aback. "Huh? Is it really that exaggerated?" she exclaimed.
Adam nodded slightly and said, "Of course, after all, the other party is a god who has lived for thousands of years. Although talent can indeed make people gain strength quickly, it still cannot compare to the accumulation of time. After all, time can bring you not only the increase of strength, but more importantly, the accumulation of experience."
Christine took Adam's hand and said, "I believe you will one day surpass my parents! I firmly believe that."
Adam kissed Christine and said, "I won't let you down. Let's go, we're here. Let's see what's been stolen." He then took a card from his belt, swiped it, and entered the floor where the key laboratory was located.
Because of Green Goblin's original intention, there was no one left in Oxcorp at this time. Adam and Christine went inside and went directly to the laboratory that Adam had arranged at the very back. They found that the laboratory had not been opened at all. In order to prevent the enemy from wearing invisibility cloaks or having mutants who could become invisible, Adam used his X-ray vision to check it over, but he did not find any trace of the enemy.
Adam paused for a moment, then said, "Am I being too sensitive? Or is the enemy's target not even here? Christine, do you have any magic that can detect enemy traces?"
Christine thought for a moment and said, "I remember a spell that can detect enemy footprints. I'll try it and see if it works." Then she began to chant the incantation.
Soon, golden light gathered in Christine's hand. With a wave of her hand, the golden light burst forth and quickly scanned the entire corridor. Then she shook her head and said, "Nothing was found, just some old footprints. The most recent one is from two hours ago."
Adam said, "Let's go in and check!" He then led Christine inside, only to find no clues. This puzzled Adam even more. The two then checked all the important laboratories together, but still found nothing.
Christine thought for a moment and said, "Adam, do you think it's possible that Bart's real purpose wasn't here at all?"
Adam was taken aback upon hearing this, and then said, "Damn it, we've been tricked! Bart's target should be the Osborne family's villa! Athena, quickly check on Harry Osborne's situation and then tell me immediately."
After listening, Athena checked and said, "Master, Harry Osborne is not at home, but it seems there really is a problem at his house. Just over ten minutes ago, Osborne's butler, Johnson, called the police, saying that his house seemed to have been broken into. I checked and Harry Osborne probably doesn't know about this news. He's watching the opera in Queens."
Adam pondered for a moment and said, "Christine, go find Harry first, tell him about his family situation, and then take him back. Be careful on the way; the enemy may strike again. I'll go directly to Johnson to find out what's going on."
Christine nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go right now!"
Adam kissed Christine and said softly, "Remember, don't get hurt, or I'll be sad."
Christine smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't want to hurt you!" Then she disappeared in a flash of golden light.
Adam smiled slightly as he looked at the spot where Christine had disappeared, then walked out of the Oxcorp Building. Just as he was about to fly away from the Oxcorp Building, he saw Spider-Man standing on the rooftop, seemingly waiting for him.
"Is there something you need, Peter?"
Peter Parker shook his head and said, "It's nothing important. Sheriff George just left with the Green Goblin. By the way, have you found anything new here? Is anything missing?"
Adam shook his head and said, "Nothing was found. Alright, Peter, you were just badly injured. Although your recovery ability is indeed very good, don't forget that the ability needed to recover your body is provided by you. Go back and have a good meal and rest."
After hearing this, Peter Parker said, "Actually, I can help. It's not that the woman was much weaker."
Adam smiled and said, "I know, that's why I'm telling you all this. Well, there will be plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future. If you don't cherish your body, your superhero dream may come to an end here."
Peter Parker was startled upon hearing this and exclaimed, "What? Is it really that serious? No way! Don't scare me!"
Adam said calmly, "I have no interest in scaring you. Alright, I'm leaving now. Whether you listen or not is up to you!" With that, he waved and flew away.
Peter Parker shuddered upon hearing this and said, "I'd better hurry back. Sigh, I hope what he said isn't true. To be honest, I'm a little hungry." With that, he shot out a web and leaped off the roof.
Ignoring the commotion behind him, Adam flew swiftly to the Osborne family's villa, landing directly in the yard and entering the living room. Inside, Johnson was talking to a policewoman.
Adam walked straight in and asked, "Johnson, what happened? Why didn't you call me?"
Upon seeing this, Johnson gave a slight bow and said, "Mr. Adam, when I came in, I noticed that Mr. Norman's house seemed to have been ransacked; some books appeared to be in different positions, which is how I realized the house had been burgled. Although I don't know exactly how they got in, a check of the security footage revealed nothing."
Adam's eyes flashed with a sharp light upon hearing this, and he said, "So it really is you, Mr. Bart! It seems I really underestimated you."
Upon hearing this, the policewoman asked, "Mr. Adam, do you know who did this?"
Adam nodded and said, "Yes, Officer Vera, I do have some leads, but I don't think the police can get involved in this matter!"
Officer Vera—or rather, that's how she introduced herself—hearing Adam's words, asked in confusion, "The police can't get involved in this? What do you mean? Why?"
Adam smiled slightly and said, "Because the opponent is a biological weapon possessing the most advanced technology from the Ox Corporation. You are no match for it, and that guy is also extremely insane. Once he goes berserk, you will suffer serious casualties. Therefore, you should stop investigating. Supervillains need superheroes to defeat them!" (Participate now! Everyone wins a prize! Follow the dd WeChat official account now!)

Chapter 151 Norman's Last Words
Hearing Adam's persuasion, Officer Vera, bursting with a sense of justice, reluctantly abandoned her idea. After all, Adam had never lied to the police since they started working together; whenever he said something was dangerous, it always turned out to be a major case, which had reduced the number of police officers injured or killed.
Officer Vera gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I'll report this to my superiors. Since everything's settled, I'll be leaving."
Johnson bowed slightly and said, "Thank you so much, Officer Vera." He then walked out to see Officer Vera out before returning to Adam's side.
Adam looked at Johnson and asked, "Have you informed Harry?"
Johnson shook his head and said, "I couldn't get in touch with the young master. He's probably watching an opera. He seems to have become obsessed with it lately."
After hearing this, Adam said, "I see. I've already sent Christine to pick up Harry. Let's talk about today's matter when he gets back."
Johnson nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Adam, please wait a moment while I make you a cup of coffee." After saying that, he bowed to Adam and left the living room.
Just as Adam finished his second cup of coffee, Christine and a looking anxious Harry walked in from outside.
After seeing Adam, Harry said apologetically, "I'm sorry to trouble you again. I just heard what happened from Christine. Do you really think the Green Goblin is someone else?"
Adam nodded and said, "That's right. After today's events, I'm even more certain that the Green Goblin is someone else, and that person should be Bart Hammerton, who was faking his death."
Harry frowned upon hearing this and said, "I know this person. My father has mentioned him before, but why would he want to kill my father, and why would he come to my house today?"
Adam said, "This is very likely a side effect of the super serum!"
Harry was taken aback and asked, "The side effects of the super serum? What exactly is going on? Didn't Father say that the super serum had been fully developed?"
Adam shook his head and said, "They did complete the development of the super serum, but I stopped them just as they were about to use it in clinical trials. I always felt that the super serum might still have some problems, so Mr. Norman, after my persuasion, stopped the clinical trial idea and planned to observe it for a few more days. But Bart was completely dissatisfied with Mr. Norman and my decision, which is why he joined Sam's side."
Harry narrowed his eyes and said, "So, Sam is also partly responsible for my father's death?"
Adam nodded slightly and said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out. However, I checked and the other party did not make any moves at the time. Perhaps that's why Bart held a grudge. He injected himself with the super serum and, due to the darkness in his heart, he fell into the Green Goblin he is today."
Harry asked, puzzled, "So Adam, do you know why the Green Goblin broke into my house to steal? What does he want?"
Adam said calmly, "I think the reason Bart broke into your house was to obtain your father's research data and the original sample of the super serum. I know these things are not in the company. Perhaps we can check Mr. Osborn's room."
Harry nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you with me. I also want to know what Father left in the house." He then led Adam to Norman Osborne's bedroom. Christine didn't go with them; she had gone in disguise earlier, so she wouldn't reveal her true identity this time.
Upon arriving at Norman Osborne's bedroom, Harry pointed to the small study inside and said, "I remember Father sometimes locked himself in this study to study things. I think if there was a secret room or something, he would be in there."
After Adam activated his X-ray vision, he said, "I saw Bart's footprints. He just went into that small study and opened some books. He eventually came to the computer. Let's see what's on this computer first, since there's no secret room in this small study."
Harry nodded. He said, "Well, my father won't let me into this study, so I don't know what's in there. But is there really no secret room?"
Adam smiled and said, "No, there isn't. But actually, I've always suspected that there's some kind of secret room in my father's study, and Tony and I checked it out together." He then turned on the computer.
After checking the computer, Adam found the files that had just been copied and browsed through them one by one. These files were research notes from Norman Osborn's research on the super serum and some mutant genes. Some of the things in them were things that Adam had never heard of before and seemed to be very impressive. Finally, Adam opened a video file. Although the file was encrypted, no password was effective against Adam's superb skills.
The video was played; it was a recording Norman Osborne had made for Harry. In it, Norman Osborne appeared exhausted in front of the camera, his tone conveying a sense of loss and despair. He began by calmly introducing the Osborne family's hereditary disease, and then began to recount everything he had gone through in order to treat it: building the Osborne Corporation, being betrayed and sold out, and eventually being able to betray his friends without batting an eye. Norman Osborne revealed his most hidden side, and finally, he hysterically shouted out his dissatisfaction, his grievances, and his worries about the future of his son, Harry Osborne.
At the end of the video, Norman Osborn, looking utterly dejected, sat on the sofa and said, "Harry, if you see this video, it means I've failed. I can't cure your genetic disease. Of course, Adam gave me some hope, but I've discovered that this super serum has far too many side effects. But it might truly be your only hope for survival. If I really can't cure your genetic disease, then go to your mother; she holds the last hope I've left for you! I love you, Harry. You've always been my pride; in my heart, even Adam Stark isn't as good as you. You must live on, even if you become the most evil person in the world because of the super serum's side effects, I will still love you. Live on with my blessings and hope, my child!"
Upon seeing the video, Harry was completely stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing. He kept shaking his head, saying, "How is this possible? What happened?"
Adam sighed and said, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. But I don't think we should be discussing this now. If Bart had seen this before, you should know what would have happened."
Harry was shocked and said, "Damn it, is he going to my mother's grave? We must stop him, Adam, please, we must not let him disturb my mother's peace."
Adam nodded and said, "Don't worry, I also bear some responsibility for this matter. I won't let Bart do anything reckless. Don't worry too much about your genetic disease, because Mr. Norman and I have already confirmed that the super serum can indeed treat your genetic disease."
Harry smiled and said, "Thank you, Adam. I've been troubling you all this time."
Adam waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to say more about this given our relationship. If Bart really is looking for your mother's grave, he should already be there. I'll go stop him now."
