This is not unacceptable to profit-oriented businessmen like them.

The reason why Mrs. Osborne said this was to remind him that as long as he gave his wife to Fisk, he might get help from Fisk.

But Justin suddenly thought of Mrs. Osborne's stunning appearance and temperament. Mrs. Osborne's noble and elegant manners, her every frown and smile exuded charming charm, her deep and smart eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and her elegant posture and calm gait were even more unforgettable.

Then he thought of his wife who was like a vase.

Although his wife had a stunningly beautiful appearance, she seemed to have no other redeeming qualities. She was superficial and simple-minded, without the intelligence and wit of Mrs. Osborne, the ability to deal with complex situations, and the graceful temperament.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he did not have any hesitation or shame, let alone anger. Instead, he began to doubt whether his wife, who was a vase with nothing but her beauty, could catch Fisk's eye.

Justin weighed the issue silently in his mind, and his thoughts became increasingly confused.

Maybe it’s because I was almost going crazy due to the bankruptcy crisis during this period.

Not only did he not feel remorse or guilt for having such a terrible idea, but he felt more and more that his wife might be worthless in this transaction of interests.

His eyes became cold and ruthless, completely blinded by the desire for profit. He even began to dislike his wife in his heart, thinking that she might not be able to arouse Fisk's interest at all and could not become a bargaining chip to save his career.

At this moment, Justin's phone rang. It was his daughter calling.

"Dad, tomorrow...it's time for the parent-teacher meeting again." The daughter's clear and sweet voice came from the receiver, with a little expectation and dependence.

Justin listened to his daughter's voice and a terrible thought suddenly occurred to him.

If a wife isn't enough to save the Hammer Group, what about a daughter?

Once this thought came to mind, it gripped his heart like the devil's claws.

He looked out the window at the prosperous yet indifferent city and fell into a deep struggle.

His daughter is the apple of his eye, the warmth and hope in his life, but the crisis facing the Hammer Group is like a black hole that seems to swallow up everything he has.

Justin clenched his phone tightly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He remembered his daughter's innocent smile when she was a child, her cute look when she was acting coquettishly, and her unconditional trust and dependence on him.

However, the tragic situation of the group's impending bankruptcy and the possibility of himself becoming penniless in the future kept emerging in his mind.

His breathing became rapid, and his heart was in a fierce conflict between morality and interests.

He knew that once he took this step, there would be no turning back. He would lose his daughter's love and trust forever, and his family would be completely broken.

But if you don’t, all will come to naught.

Justin was caught in an unprecedented painful choice and couldn't extricate himself.

-----------------

Fisk arrived at the office early in the morning. Before the first ray of sunlight had completely penetrated the haze of the city, he was already sitting in front of the spacious desk.

He hasn't been sleeping in recently, just to keep an eye on Tony Stark's movements.

Tony Stark was attacked by unknown armed forces in the Middle East and disappeared. It was not a big deal, but it was definitely not a small matter, and it was not just a kidnapping incident.

The impact it brings is wide-ranging and far-reaching. It will not only greatly affect the stock trend of Stark Industries, causing the wealth of countless investors to evaporate or increase in value in an instant, but also affect the livelihoods and jobs of hundreds of thousands of people.

Thousands of employees rely on the stable operation of Stark Industries to support their families. Once there is turmoil, their lives will be in trouble. At the same time, this also concerns the ownership of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars of wealth.

But it also represents something more important. It means that something bad is going to happen to Iron Man. And it also means that the Marvel Universe, a magnificent masterpiece full of unknowns and miracles, has finally begun to turn a new chapter.

However, Fisk is no longer a bystander this time. He is no longer an outsider who can only watch the situation develop and cannot intervene.

They are no longer pawns, nor are they tools that can be manipulated by others to seek personal gain.

But the chess player is the key person who can truly participate in the game.

Of course, before that, he wanted to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

People outside say that he has an endless supply of dollars, as if his wealth is like a never-ending source, flowing continuously and endlessly. But only Fisk himself knows that he is very short of money now.

After all, robbery is the most direct and fastest way to acquire a large amount of wealth.

But... no matter how much money you steal, it will be spent like water!

The construction of Hell's Kitchen is still in full swing. In addition to the office building under construction, companies like Sanfisk Biological Research need to invest huge amounts of money in the purchase of experimental equipment, the high salary of scientific researchers, and countless experimental attempts in order to develop cutting-edge biotechnology, which requires a lot of dollars.

In addition, the San Francisco Building, which is currently under construction and symbolizes his power and status, will cost more than one million dollars every day.

More importantly, Fisker is constantly acquiring financial companies or technology companies with certain potential, thereby pieced together the huge San Fisker Empire bit by bit.

Although he does not have keen business insight and decisive decision-making ability, he has professional subordinates to do this.

However, no matter how diligent the subordinates are, if they want to close a deal, they still need strong financial support, right?

Every acquisition negotiation and every contract signing means the flow of a large amount of funds.

In addition, Fisk also wanted to go into politics.

Although he will not appear in the public eye now, he is still hiding behind the scenes and making careful plans. But there must be a way forward, right?

The political arena requires money to build a network of relationships, and funds to shape an image and promote ideas.

This also requires money, a lot of money.

So, even if Fisk decided to make friends with Stark.

But he would not miss such a good opportunity to make money.

Friends are friends, but brothers still have to settle accounts, right?

"Boss, after Tony Stark disappeared.

Stark Group's stock price began to plunge.

This is mainly because Tony Stark has always been the core figure and soul leader of the Stark Group. He not only has outstanding innovation ability and business wisdom, but also represents the company's image and brand value.

Stark Group holds a leading position in many high-tech fields, which is largely due to Tony Stark's brilliant ideas and decisions.

Investors' confidence in the company is largely based on his leadership and technical expertise.

His sudden disappearance created great uncertainty in the market about the company's future direction.

New product development may stagnate and existing business collaborations may also be affected.

At the same time, competitors took the opportunity to spread all kinds of negative news, exaggerating that Stark Group had lost its backbone and its future prospects were worrying. This further exacerbated investors' panic, and they sold their stocks one after another, causing the stock price to fall sharply..."

May Parker stood stiffly aside, reporting on the recent stock price of Stark Industries, with her legs tightly clamped together.

Her cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes were a little evasive, with a hint of shyness.

It looked like a frightened deer, uneasy and cautious. At the same time, a strange sound came from under the desk, as if something was drinking porridge.

May Parker couldn't help but glance under the table, which made her body stiffen instantly. The strange sound was like a sharp bayonet, ruthlessly cutting through the already tense atmosphere and making her even more uncomfortable.

Her voice began to tremble, and the originally fluent report became intermittent: "Boss, according to the current situation, if the situation cannot be stabilized as soon as possible, the stock price may continue to fall..." Her voice was mixed with anxiety and tension that was difficult to conceal.

The strange sound did not stop, but became louder, like a violent storm, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet office. Every note was like a heavy bomb, mercilessly bombarding May Parker's fragile nerves.

Her heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, one after another, sliding down her fair cheeks.

Her hands were tightly clenched on the corners of her clothes, her lips were trembling slightly, her eyes were full of helplessness and confusion, and she didn't know what to do.

"Hmm?" Fisk looked up at her with a smile on his face. "Go on, tell me, do you want to replace Mina?"

"No, it's not, boss!"

May Parker lowered her head in shame, with the collar still around her neck.

It was a collar made of black leather. There was nothing inlaid on it, except for a buckle at the back of the neck for fastening the chain. It looked cold and oppressive.

The edge of the collar was carefully polished and looked smooth, but it inadvertently rubbed against her delicate skin, leaving tiny red marks.

She tried to take off the collar countless times, but for some reason, as soon as she put her hand on it, her whole body would go limp. It was as if an invisible force was restraining her, causing her arms to lose strength and her legs to tremble.

Whenever she mustered up the courage to resist, the force would instantly spread throughout her body, filling her heart with fear and helplessness.

"Then continue. If you pause again, you can switch to Mina!" Fisk was halfway through his words when he suddenly took a breath.

"hiss!"

He reached out and gently patted Mina's head, "Be gentler, don't use so much force, okay?"

Just then, the phone on the table rang.

The moment Fisk picked up the phone, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Did he forget to go to the parent-teacher conference for Gwen?

Gwen's performance has dropped significantly recently!

Mrs. Stacy has been busy with hospital affairs.

There was no time to take care of Gwen.

So, this matter naturally fell on Fisk's head.

"Did you forget something?"

"No!"

"Then why are you still in the office now instead of on your way to school?"

"Uh!" Fisk glanced at the clock on the wall and explained quickly, "I'm just about to leave. Traffic in New York has improved now. There won't be any traffic jams. I won't be late."

"Huh, that's the best!"

Mrs. Stacy hung up the phone.

Fisk rolled his eyes and pursed his lips. "I'm not married yet, so why do I suddenly have a daughter?"

"Okay, little lamb." Fisk patted Mina's head again, "Let's go today. I have to go to the parent-teacher meeting!" As Fisk said this, he looked up at May Parker and said, "Would it be convenient for you to give me a ride? Lester has something to do today, and I don't want to drive myself."

"Sure... no problem."

Peter Parker hasn't been working as a street cop these days.

Because Aunt Mei suddenly became very concerned about his studies.

He had no choice but to return to normal life temporarily.

Be a good student.

get out of school and go home on time every day, and no longer skip classes or leave early.

Although, the boring school life made him feel very bored. The knowledge in the textbooks seemed like a boring spell, buzzing in his ears.
