Superman Marvel Adventures

The others had already received the news and had been warned by Adam in person, so they were not surprised and said they had no objections. The only one who had been kept in the dark was Harry Osborn, who was busy becoming a superhero. So he was shocked when he heard Adam's decision.

"Oh, how can this be? Mr. Adam, I know that the five percent share is your reward for improving the Super Serum. This won't do. What will others think of me? Besides, you've always taken good care of me. I can't accept this."

Adam smiled faintly and said, "I'm just doing this according to your father's arrangements, so you can accept it without any worries. Besides, this company is Mr. Osborn's hard work, and you have to make it bigger yourself, since you're all grown up now. Most importantly, I'm not giving you these shares for free; you need to pay for them."

After hearing this, Harry Osborne realized that Adam was actually helping him. He looked at Adam gratefully and said, "Okay, I will acquire your shares according to the original contract."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Yes, this is a contract I commissioned my lawyer to prepare. After you read it and sign it, the five percent of the shares will be yours, and the company that your father spent his life creating will be returned to its rightful owner."

Harry Osborne took the contract from Adam, glanced at it briefly, and then signed his name. Actually, Harry's butler had repeatedly reminded him of this contract between Norman Osborne and Adam Stark, suggesting that Harry discuss it with Stark when the time was right. However, Harry knew that Stark's status meant he wouldn't care about such a small share, so he said he'd wait until Adam remembered.

As expected. When he officially came of age and was eligible to inherit his father Norman Osborn's estate, although he had been eating for a while, Adam still brought up the matter and returned the five percent of the shares to him, and even helped him control the Osborn Corporation.

Seeing that Harry Osborne glanced at it and signed his name made Adam feel quite comfortable, since becoming a trustworthy person in today's world is not so simple.

"Aren't you going to check carefully? Aren't you afraid I've set a trap inside?" Adam teased with a smile.

Harry Osborne smiled and said, "This company would have been yours long ago if you wanted, so I still trust you completely."

Adam laughed and said, "Well then, let's welcome our new chairman, Mr. Harry Osborn. Actually, you may not all know that Mr. Harry Osborn's abilities are almost on par with his father's. In particular, he is even more outstanding than Mr. Norman Osborn in some areas. I think under his leadership, you will definitely be able to reap even greater rewards."

Although the crowd didn't quite believe Adam's words, they were still somewhat intimidated by him, so they reluctantly clapped. They then watched as Harry Osborne sat in the chairman's seat and listened to a very impassioned speech. If it weren't for Adam's presence, these shareholders probably wouldn't have listened to a high school graduate's speech at all.

About half an hour later, the board meeting officially ended. However, Adam did not leave Osborn Corporation. Instead, he waited in Harry Osborn's office, which now belonged to Harry Osborn, for Harry to finish his first high-level meeting. This was because Adam was very interested in one of the projects of the current Osborn Corporation.

Soon after finishing his first meeting, Harry Osborne walked into his office and saw Adam sitting there. He asked his secretary to prepare coffee and then went to Adam's side.

Adam looked at the slightly excited Harry and chuckled, "Hehe, how does it feel?"

Harry was no ordinary man, and he quickly composed himself, saying, "I'm a little excited, but also a little panicked. I don't know if I can make the company my father left behind thrive."

After reading it, Adam said, "Where did your confidence from when you were a vanguard go? If you can bring out even half of that confidence from back then, I believe you can definitely make this company even more glorious."

Harry Osborne wasn't surprised that Adam knew his hidden identity, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for encouraging me. By the way, what are you looking at? I seem to recognize this person; it looks like Dr. Otto."

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. I'm quite interested in the new energy sources this person is researching. Look, this is the application for research funding that he submitted last week, along with some materials about the new energy sources he's researching."

Harry picked up the documents and looked at them for a while, then exclaimed in surprise, "An artificial sun? Is that really possible?"

Adam pondered for a moment and said, "If his data is correct, it should be theoretically possible. However, I'm more interested in this than this research!" He then pointed to a video showing four mechanical arms mounted on Dr. Otto's back.

After hearing this, Harry Osborn looked at it and said, "Hmm, this seems to be similar to the mechanical arm that your brother Tony Stark invented, I mean, in terms of concept."

Adam shrugged and said, "Perhaps, but the mechanical arm Tony made is computer-controlled. Although it has some intelligence, it's still not as good as Dr. Otto's mechanical arm. I looked up some information before and found that Dr. Otto's mechanical arm is controlled by brainwaves. However, it costs about ten times more than Tony's. Otherwise, it would be a great invention that benefits mankind."

After hearing this, Harry Osborne said, "Perhaps we can talk to Dr. Otto."

Adam smiled and said, "I do have that plan, so I'm waiting for you to come with me."

Harry Osborne asked doubtfully, "Wait for me?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. You may not know, but what Dr. Otto really wants to cooperate with Otto Corporation on is the development and research of new energy sources. So if I go there rashly, I will definitely be rejected. Uh, I mean, this person is actually quite individualistic."

Harry Osborne was even more puzzled and said, "You could actually go see him on behalf of the company, couldn't you?"

Adam shrugged and said, "That's exactly where the problem lies. He needs to continue researching new energy sources, and researching new energy sources requires a rare element called tritium. As far as I know, apart from governments around the world, the person with the largest tritium reserves is you, Harry Osborne."

Harry Osborne looked puzzled, pointed to himself, and asked, "Me? What's going on? Could it be..."

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. I had Athena check, and 40 percent of the tritium currently existing on Earth is registered in your name. It seems your father started collecting it about twenty years ago and has been storing it in a Federal Bank underground vault under your name ever since. As for the key, I think you should look for your father's belongings or something; you should find something. Mr. Norman Osborn also has a considerable amount of tritium; this doesn't seem to be a secret in their line of work. That's why Dr. Otto didn't go to other companies but went directly to Otto Corporation."

A complex emotion flashed in Harry Osborne's eyes, then he smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, I think I'd like to go see Dr. Otto too. Let's go then."

Ps:

I had to forcefully remove Dr. Otto. It wasn't easy for me, waaaaah!!

Chapter 206 Emergency Situation

Adam decided to visit Dr. Otto, who was also internationally renowned. He asked Harry Osborne to call him first and then arranged to meet Dr. Otto at his research institute. According to Dr. Otto, he didn't have much time to waste on such things. If they wanted to cooperate, they should discuss the contract. His wife would take full responsibility for the matter.

After hanging up the phone, Harry shrugged and said, "He's definitely a very individualistic person. He seems to have an immense amount of confidence in himself, and hopefully his research is as strong as his self-assurance."

After listening, Adam said, "We can't confirm whether his research is likely to succeed just by looking at the information he provided. However, after I became interested in this person, I looked up some information. He seems to be a person with real talent and learning. As long as we don't rush things, there shouldn't be any major problems. So I hope you can stay calm and not be misled by some illusions."

Harry Osborne paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

He wasn't stupid; he knew Adam was trying to help him, and there was a previous example to follow, so Harry Osborne wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

"By the way, I've always had a question: what happened to Dr. Connors? I've never heard you mention him before; it's as if everyone has forgotten about him."

"Oh, did Peter tell you to ask?" Upon hearing about Dr. Connors, Adam knew without guessing that Peter Parker had asked Harry to ask. Otherwise, Harry wouldn't have brought up this person. Although he didn't hate him for creating the lizardman potion, he didn't have a good impression of Dr. Connors.

Harry didn't deny it, and nodded directly, saying, "That's right, Peter said he's been looking for it for a long time but hasn't found it, so he wanted me to ask you about it."

Adam recalled that Peter Parker had been injured and rendered unconscious by the Hellfire Club mutants at the previous party, and hadn't seen him since. They hadn't met again for various reasons afterward, and Adam knew that Peter Parker's pride prevented him from directly asking him. He didn't say anything more and simply told Harry Osborn.

"Dr. Connors is at S.H.I.E.L.D., continuing his experiments on an island in the Pacific. I think he's almost finished. If Peter Parker wants to see the doctor, let him come to me."

Harry Osborne nodded. "Oh, I'll tell him."

Just then, the door opened and Harry Osborne's secretary walked in, saying, "Mr. Osborne, Mr. Adam. The car is ready."

Harry stood up and said, "I understand. I'll go out with Mr. Adam in a bit. If anyone is looking for me or has any business, we can deal with it tomorrow." After saying that, he and Adam left the Otto Corporation building and got into the car waiting in front, heading towards the address provided by Dr. Otto.

Just then, Adam's phone rang. By the time Adam took out his phone, Athena was already standing in front of him, her expression extremely serious, even grave. Adam's heart sank, knowing that something very important had happened.

"Athena, what happened?"

"Master, we just received an alarm. The United X1 aircraft issued a hijacking alert. After I intercepted the information, I immediately checked it and found that the information was true. Several hijackers have taken the plane hostage and are heading to Building One."

Adam was shocked upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Damn it, how could this happen?"

Athena continued, saying something even more shocking to Adam: "I immediately investigated all the leads and discovered that eight civilian airliners were expected to have been hijacked. The terrorists' targets appeared to be iconic American landmarks."

Adam was furious. "These guys! Athena, immediately notify the goddess to help. Also, notify S.H.I.E.L.D. to go help too. Finally, notify the Civil Aviation Administration to temporarily prevent any planes from leaving the airport. I think there are more than just these people. Damn it, I'm going now, I hope I can make it in time!" Without waiting for a reply from Harry Osborn, he opened the car door and flew away.

Harry Osborne also overheard the conversation between Adam and Athena and was stunned by its contents. After a short while, he immediately told the driver to stop the car and told his secretary to speak with Dr. Otto on his behalf. He then gave the beautiful secretary no time to react, got out of the car, took out a cell phone from his pocket, and pressed a few buttons on it.

"Hey Spider-Man, it's me. What I'm about to tell you might shock you, but it's true. Just now, while I was with Superman, I overheard Athena and Superman talking about a group of hijackers who have hijacked several civilian airliners and are planning to crash them into New York's iconic landmarks. Superman is already there, but let's help them out."

Peter Parker's phone number was obtained by chance during a collaboration with Spider-Man, with the promise that one could call the other in times of trouble. Spider-Man agreed. Of course, Peter Parker didn't give him his usual phone number, but a special number prepared specifically for such occasions—an idea that Spider-Man had suddenly come up with after attending the last gathering.

At this time, Peter Parker was worried because he was about to graduate from high school and would have to move out of his family home. Actually, his aunt and uncle didn't really insist on it, but as a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, Peter Parker felt that he had grown up and could be independent. Moreover, he had overheard his aunt and uncle talking about their financial situation. Even if it was just to ease their burden, he had to find a job and earn his tuition before going to college.

Just then, his watch rang. It was a simple communicator he had made himself using some parts he bought online. He picked up the Bluetooth headset and answered the call. There was only one person who could call this number, and that was another superhero he had met not long ago—Pioneer.

"Hey, Spider-Man, what's up? Need your help, your good neighbor Spider-Man? You've come to the right place..." Peter Parker, who had instinctively switched to teasing mode, stopped abruptly upon hearing the other's words. He simply couldn't believe his ears; how could such a thing happen on such a nice day? "How is this possible? Okay, I'm coming right away!"

Peter Parker hurriedly put on his suit and left home without even saying goodbye to his aunt and uncle. He quickly ran into a dark alley, changed quickly, and a minute later, Spider-Man, dressed in his suit, looked at his communicator and quickly determined his direction, heading towards the Twin Towers, known as the tallest buildings in New York City.

While Vanguard and Spider-Man headed towards the Twin Towers, Adam had already arrived above them. Without even speaking to Christine beside him, he used his superhuman vision to quickly locate two passenger planes approaching the Twin Towers. Upon finding the planes, Adam immediately checked the situation inside. Fortunately, the worst hadn't happened; there were no explosives on board. However, the passengers seemed to have been drugged by a sleeping gas. Only the four people in the cockpit remained conscious. Two of them were controlling the plane, while the other two were loudly chanting scriptures, seemingly to dispel their fear and allow them to face death calmly.

Christine asked, "How is it going?"

Adam breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's alright, the worst didn't happen. There were no bombs on the plane, and the passengers were just drugged. The hijackers were in the cockpit, and they were piloting the plane. This doesn't seem to be a simple hijacking. Okay, there's no time. Before they spot us, the plane on the right is yours. Go and subdue the people in the cockpit first."

Christine nodded and said, "Understood!" Then she drew a magic circle in front of her and disappeared.

Adam looked at Christine and said with satisfaction, "It seems Christine's magical training is going very well. Well, now is not the time to think about these things! Athena, immediately monitor the situation of the other planes. I'll take care of this one first!" After saying that, he accelerated and instantly appeared under the plane heading towards Building One, his hands deeply embedded in the fuselage.

Ps:

First, let's pray for Tianjin.

And hey, today's chapter has no connection to the real world. It's a chapter set up to introduce a **boss, yeah, that's it!

Chapter 207 Rescue

Adam's sudden movement of the high-speed plane brought it to an abrupt halt, throwing the two terrorists who were chanting prayers for their own heavenly journey into a violent thud. They were unable to stand for a while. While the two terrorists piloting the plane were also startled by the sudden jolt, they didn't panic but instead tried to determine what had happened.

Adam, watching the pilots' actions from below, thought: 'This doesn't seem simple. Judging by their demeanor, this wasn't a hastily organized operation. Never mind, I'll leave it for now.'

Adam aimed directly at the pilots, reduced the power of the heat ray to a lower level, and then stunned the two pilots with a few blows. He then began searching for a place to land while carrying the plane.

At this moment, Spider-Man and Vanguard also arrived at the scene. However, seeing Adam and Christine each take down a plane and lift them into the air, they both felt powerless, because they realized that they seemed unable to help Adam and Christine.

Adam then saw the two people, his eyes lit up, and he waved to Spider-Man and Vanguard, signaling them to come over.

"Is there anything I can do to help you, Mr. Adam?" Vanguard asked Adam as he used his flying machine to bring Spider-Man into the air.

Adam nodded and said, "These are the only two planes that have been hijacked. Fortunately, there were no bombs on board. We should thank Stark Industries for their gadgets, otherwise the situation would be much worse. The problem now is where to land these two planes."

Spider-Man, upon hearing that several planes had been hijacked, realized the seriousness of the situation and asked, "What do you need us to do?"

Adam didn't stand on ceremony and said, "I'll temporarily park the plane on the rooftops of these two buildings. You two will each be responsible for one. I don't know if there are any terrorists among the passengers inside, so I need you to keep an eye on them and prevent them from leaving for the time being!"

Spider-Man paused, then said, "Don't let them leave? I understand." He pointed to his web-shooters. His meaning was simple: tie the passengers up. Although this would make more people dislike or criticize him, Spider-Man bluntly stated that he was used to it. This made Adam a little embarrassed, after all, he was the owner of the Daily Bugle.

Okay, back to the main point. The situation is urgent. Adam relayed these words to Christine through Athena, then smoothly landed the plane on the roof of Building One, and opened the cabin door. He then sent Spider-Man to do his own thing.

Meanwhile, on the other side, above Building Two, Christine used levitation magic to place the plane on the ground, then cast a sleeping spell on the passengers, telling the Vanguard that they would sleep for eight hours, before disappearing.

Vanguard stared blankly as Adam and Christine flew away, then saw his good friend Spider-Man bustling about in another plane. He shuddered and whispered, "I'm sure Spider-Man is to blame for those two. Hmm. Looks like Spider-Man and I shouldn't get too close." He nodded in agreement.

Of course, Spider-Man, busy binding the passengers with his webs, would have no idea about any of this. Otherwise, he would definitely regret not being able to control his mouth.

What? What secret is hidden here? Ah, since the person involved hasn't revealed anything, let's not pursue it any further, hmm. It's just that Spider-Man said a few bad things about Adam, nothing serious. Uh, did I just reveal the truth?

Oh dear. Let's take a look at the other side of the situation. Do you all remember how many planes were hijacked this time? So, it's not just superheroes involved, but also the US military, S.H.I.E.L.D., and that mysterious chess club.

After all, this is a serious slap in the face to the US government. The whole world is watching this. Although the US government is desperately trying to cover it up, it seems the mastermind behind this scheme doesn't want the US government to have an easy time, directly revealing the truth and putting the US government on the defensive. Fortunately, they had received Athena's message beforehand; otherwise, they might have really made a fool of themselves, becoming a laughingstock for the entire world.

White House, Oval Office

President George W. Bush sat inside, listening to reports from his subordinates with a gloomy expression. When he heard that Superman and the Sun Goddess had saved six planes, his expression softened slightly. However, when he heard that the US military had not yet successfully stopped the three planes heading towards the Pentagon, he immediately flew into a rage.

"Are all the military personnel useless? Didn't they say the Chess Department and S.H.I.E.L.D. had already made their move? Why haven't we heard anything yet? Are all those people less capable than Superman and the Sun Goddess?"

The military representative wiped his sweat and said, "Mr. President, the Chess Department is conducting a rescue operation, but after all, those people in the Chess Department are all single-ability users. They can't stop the plane as easily as Superman or the Sun Goddess. Besides, when you gave the order, you said that the passengers inside the plane must not be harmed."

Upon hearing this, another official retorted, "There's nothing we can do about it. Those bastards have made the whole world aware of this. Now everyone is watching us. We can no longer make up other excuses to cover up our actions like before. No one will believe excuses like our missiles going off course and hitting those planes anymore. After all, we can't use missiles if we want to rescue those passengers."

After hearing this, the military representative said, "So we need some time. After all, our soldiers are not superheroes. They don't have special abilities and can only try their best to find a solution."

Hearing the military representative's words, Bush calmed down slightly and asked, "How's it going at the Pentagon? Have they withdrawn from the target area of ​​the aircraft?"

The military representative nodded and said, "Yes, we dispersed the tourists there when we received the news. It seems that the planes were all targeting the third building, which was being repaired. So at that time, there were no other people there except for some construction workers. The construction workers have all been evacuated, and it's now a no-man's land."

Bush frowned and said, "Well, that's good. Although it's not something to be thankful for, it's still good news."

Just then, an official received a phone call and immediately reported: "The military has successfully intercepted one plane, and S.H.I.E.L.D. has also intercepted two planes and landed them on their air fortress. By the way, it seems that the mutants from the X-Men have also taken action, directly controlling the terrorists piloting the planes and safely landing them at the airport. They have helped us deal with three planes, and we are one step closer to success."
