From American comics to becoming the mastermind behind the scenes

"call."

Gwen sat up straight, her tousled blond hair looking like it was covered in golden dust in the morning light.

Gwen felt a chill run down her spine as she recalled what she had seen from the Osborne Building that day.

What exactly is that eye that shoots out golden light and shatters the dark clouds?

Although the astronomy guest invited by Ford Television explained that it was an extremely rare astronomical phenomenon, Gwen, who witnessed everything that happened on the top floor of the building, knew that "they" had been deceived again.

"What is the greater danger? Will the owner of that eye descend upon Earth?"

Countless thoughts made Gwen restless, and she stayed up until two or three in the morning last night, not even knowing when she fell asleep.

"Gwen, I have to go out. Stark Industries is having a press conference, and I'm in charge of security. I left you some money on the table."

George knocked on the door and then left.

Gwen sat on the bed, hugging her knees, a wave of annoyance washing over her: "I need to find Parker and discuss what I saw that day with him."

Just then, the phone on Gwen's bedside table rang, and the caller was Peter Parker.

"Gwen, I'm waiting for you at the newly opened Leon Chinese Restaurant..."

"it is good."

Gwen had seen the guy from "Li Ang's Chinese Restaurant" on TV, and apparently the food there was pretty good.

It has become the restaurant with the highest ratings and most repeat customers in New York in just a few weeks since it opened, and it is now very difficult to make a reservation.

I never expected Peter Parker to be able to book a spot.

Just then, George Stacy gave him some pocket money.

Having some delicious food to change your mood is a good idea.

The two met at the entrance of Li Ang Chinese Restaurant and then went inside together.

"How did you manage to book a table?" Gwen asked curiously.

Peter Parker scratched his head: "I don't know either. I just tried to book and they gave me a seat. Maybe my name is the same as someone else's."

Gwen suppressed her curiosity and began to focus on enjoying the food. The magical Mapo Tofu, the special shredded pork with green peppers, the spicy shrimp rice and other dishes made their appetites soar.

And the price is also very affordable.

"Come to think of it, we haven't really talked much since that day," Gwen said, putting down her chopsticks with concern.

"This..." Peter Parker instinctively covered the wound on his left hand, hesitating whether to tell Gwen what had happened next.

He was bitten by a spider while he was running away that day...

Just as he was about to speak, a man behind him suddenly flew into a rage, slammed the phone to the ground, overturned the table with both hands, and was then forcibly taken away by the restaurant's security personnel.

"Wardfa, what just happened?" Gwen asked curiously.

Peter Parker blinked: "Tony Stark has announced the closure of its arms division and will no longer sell any weapons."

"Oh?" Gwen frowned in confusion. "How did you know?"

"That's what I just heard."

"So your hearing is quite good..."

……

Osborne Building.

Norman Osborn, sitting in the chair having his blood drawn, looked at Connors: "How is it?"

Connors stared in disbelief at the image on the electron microscope: "My God, what is this thing?! My God! There are such things?"

"Is there a problem, Connors?" Norman Osborn said coldly.

"A previously unseen virus has been found in your body. Although I don't understand how it works, this virus can indeed cure retroviruses," Connors said, shaking his head. "Do you need me to isolate this virus?"

Recalling Wesker's instructions, Norman Osborn shook his head: "Destroy the samples immediately. Don't let a single drop spill, or you know the consequences."

"What a pity," Connors sighed as he looked at the screen.

Norman Osborn pulled out the blood-drawing needle, recalling how the group of people had been so subservient and hesitant to even breathe loudly when he announced the acquisition of Umbrella Corporation to the board a few days earlier, which made him very happy.

But today is special, as Wesker is going to show him some amazing gadgets.

"Tony Stark announced the closure of his arms division, but the military and certain mysterious organizations' procurement plans continue to expand, especially their desire for super soldiers. If what Wesker said is true, then this is a great opportunity for us to land a huge order."

With that in mind, Norman Osborn boarded a helicopter bearing the white and red Umbrella logo and the words "Umbrella Corporation Property" printed below. Following the location sent by Wesker, he directed the helicopter to fly over there.

There are vast stretches of swamps and forests, and large tracts of undeveloped private land in Arikan.

In Norman Osborne's imagination, they would most likely meet in an old building filled with 18th-century aesthetics.

Until Norman Osborne saw a continuous stretch of high-rise buildings.

"Wardfa!" Norman Osborn's eyes widened. Although it couldn't compare to the prosperity of New York, the rows of skyscrapers and the complete infrastructure within them were not much different from New York.

Looking at the city that stood out so starkly from its surroundings, Norman Osborn couldn't help but exclaim, "Just who is the Umbrella Corporation?"

Land here is indeed much cheaper than in downtown New York City, but this is a city!

The moment the helicopter entered the city's airspace, a child's voice came over the radio.

"Welcome to Raccoon City. I am 'Red Queen,' the AI ​​terminal of the Umbrella Corporation. Norman Osborn, CEO of the Umbrella Corporation, will now grant you partial authorization. The list of authorizations will be sent to your email address shortly. Please check your inbox."

Please switch to autopilot now, pilot. I will guide you to the tarmac automatically.

[Fate Points from Norman Osborne +500]

"A smart AI terminal?" Norman Osborn felt as if he had arrived in a future city. Apart from Tony Stark, no other company had developed a smart AI terminal.

Even if it were developed, its performance would be far inferior, but the Red Queen developed by Umbrella Corporation seems to be no worse than Stark Industries' Jarvis.

Norman Osborne was still somewhat dazed when the helicopter landed.

"Mr. Wesker is waiting for you on the basement level. The elevator is ready."

Norman Osborn, guided by Red Queen, took the elevator and suddenly asked, "What is Wesker's position at Umbrella Corporation?"

"Insufficient permissions. Please carefully review the authorization list."

Norman Osborne wanted to ask more questions, but the elevator had already stopped.

As soon as the door opened, Wesker's very distinctive face came into view.

Then there were the numerous researchers in white lab coats constantly moving behind Wesker, and the amazing research equipment.

Wesker looked at Norman Osborn: "Welcome to Raccoon City."
