A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Fun lessons always go by too quickly. Before they knew it, it was time to go home. Cao Gui pulled Gwen along, ready to head back together.

“Hey Gwen, my dad said he'd like to invite you to lunch. Do you have time later?” Harry said, sidling up to them.

"Isn't it a bit early?" Cao Gui checked the time; it was only a little past 10 a.m.

“I think so too,” Harry shrugged and said helplessly.

"Then take me to see the special projects... I have that authority, right?"

“Okay, no problem.” Harry smiled. “No, but my father gave me the maximum authority, so I have the right to take you in.”

"Let's go then."

"It's in the basement. Come with me."

Chapter 189 Green Goblin Armor

On the first floor of the Osborne Building, in the cybersecurity department, an entire room is filled with monitor screens, and the entire Osborne Building is under surveillance from here.

A dark-haired Italian man sat in the main seat, with a computer program monitoring the central server in front of him.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the screen: "Norman Osborn visits special projects."

The dark-haired man frowned. As the security supervisor, he knew Norman wasn't in the company right now. What was going on?

The dark-haired man immediately pulled up the surveillance video and discovered that it was Harry Osborn who brought the stranger into the special projects department.

"Heh... Interesting." The black-haired man's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number: "Mr. Menken, there's something you might be interested in."

"Tell me... if you're wasting my time, you know the consequences," a baritone voice said calmly from the other end of the phone.

“Harry Osborn, using his father’s authority, brought two people into the Special Projects Department.”

"What? Is this true?" the baritone voice on the other end of the phone exclaimed in shock, his tone tinged with excitement. "Wait, who are those two people?"

“They’re all his classmates, and one of the women is even Dr. Connors’s intern leader. I’ve already backed up the visit records and video footage,” the black-haired man said.

"Well done!" the baritone couldn't help but laugh. "You don't need to worry about the rest. Just do your job."

"Yes, Mr. Mencken."

……

The elevator slowly descended. The special projects department was located in the basement, which was heavily guarded and had only one entrance. Without the appropriate authorization, one could not enter.

As the elevator descended, Cao Gui and his two companions finally arrived at the underground special projects department.

"This is the secret research site. How about it? Doesn't it look like a scene from a science fiction movie?"

Harry chuckled and said smugly, then tapped on the control panel. The surrounding iron doors slowly slid up, revealing various items stored in the glass room.

Cao Gui scanned the area and saw armor, mechanical arms, aircraft, and various medicines stored separately.

"Wow!" Gwen exclaimed. She had read the brochures for these projects. Once, she had planned to equip herself with a weapon, but she hadn't found one that suited her, so she gave up. This was the first time she had faced these projects directly.

“This is a life support suit,” Harry said, pointing to a specially made green steel suit. “Its main function is protection and healing; it has no offensive capabilities.”

"Doesn't that mean you can't move?" Gwen asked, puzzled. Although it looks cool, compared to Tony Stark's armor with a nuclear reactor, it doesn't have a clear energy source. You can't just rely on your body to tough it out, can you?

“The ability to move is in his feet,” Harry said.

"It's an aircraft. With some training, it can be easily operated and controlled. Moreover, we've also put the attack system on that aircraft."

"Very good." Cao Gui nodded. This should be the Green Goblin Armor, but because of his presence, the Green Goblin probably won't appear.

"Look, and over there too, there's a vision-sharing robotic arm, heavy-duty individual assault armor, and individual flying armor."

Cao Gui glanced at them and understood: Doctor Octopus's mechanical arm, Rhino Man's rhino armor, and Vulture's flying armor.

The three of them walked around a few times. The special items here were indeed special items; they were all weapons of the villains. If even one of them were to get out, it would cause the NYPD a lot of trouble.

“Let’s go out.” Harry checked the time and smiled. “The timing is perfect. Lunch should be ready by now. We can begin.”

Gwen took Cao Gui's hand, and the three of them took the elevator back to the ground.

“No classes this afternoon, Cao, where are we going this afternoon?” Gwen asked.

"Huh? Does skipping class mean you don't have to study?" Cao Gui said seriously, "Gwen, as the best student at Central City High School, I must severely criticize this incorrect idea."

Gwen puffed out her chest—not small at all—and was about to retort, but then she heard Cao Gui say something.

"Let's go home this afternoon, I'm going to give you a good talking to!"

Gwen blushed slightly: "Okay, whatever you say."

Harry rolled his eyes. He should have told his dad not to let him be alone with those two, or he would have been eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) all the time.

Hey~

The elevator doors slowly opened.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

"Hands behind your head, lie down! Lie down!"

"Keep your bodies pressed against the ground, or we have the right to kill you!"

Before they even stepped out of the elevator, a team of heavily armed security guards pointed their guns directly at the faces of Cao Gui and his two companions.

Harry's face instantly darkened. These security guards were all from the Osborn Group, and on the outer edge of the crowd stood a balding middle-aged white man in a silver-gray suit.

“Mr. Menken, what do you mean by this?” Harry shouted.

"Harry, you actually brought a corporate spy into Osborn's secret research project without permission! Do you know how much damage this will cause us?" the balding, middle-aged white man named Menken shouted.

Corporate spy? Cao Gui and Gwen exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat strange. This guy... is rather interesting.

“Hey… bald guy, Menken, right? Who are you? Why do you think we’re corporate spies?” Cao Gui asked suspiciously.

"Cuff them." Menken raised his chin, ignoring Cao Gui's question. Regardless of whether you are or not, you will be after today.

"Wait, I need to call my father!" Harry shouted, pulling out his phone to make a call. But miraculously, a security guard wearing a tactical mask suddenly jumped out, snatched Harry's phone, and crushed it.

Cao Gui narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that this guy... was up to no good!

"I'll say it one last time, Mr. Cao, Miss Stacy, you will face multiple charges, including defrauding Mr. Harry Osborne, stealing trade secrets, and stealing military secrets," the balding Menken Balkan coldly declared.

“If you dare to resist arrest, we have the right to shoot and kill you.”

"This is your final warning. Now, put your hands behind your heads, lie down, and give up resisting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two security guards rushed into the elevator, shoved Harry aside, and handcuffed Cao Gui and Gwen.

Looking at the bright silver handcuffs on his wrists, Cao Gui felt a bit curious. To be honest, in both his lives, this was the first time someone had put handcuffs on him.

Gwen was in a similar situation. In the past, it was always her father who had to abduct people; this was the first time she had ever been abducted herself, which was quite novel.

"Heh, Menken Balkan, are you sure you want to do this?"

Harry sneered, "They're directors of Black Gold Investments, the third-largest shareholder in Osborn. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Menken Balkan, who had just been serious and righteous, suddenly changed his expression and voice, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his shiny forehead.

He was aware of the recent changes in the company's shareholding structure, and unfortunately, he was originally the third largest shareholder of the Osborne Group.

Chapter 190 Richard Parker's Files!

Clapping~

Cao Gui flicked his wrist slightly, and the gleaming silver handcuffs instantly opened. He looked at him with a half-smile:

"Menken Balkan? Vice President of the Osborne Group?"

“It’s me…” Balkan wiped his sweat and said hesitantly.

The situation changed instantly. The once arrogant Menken Balkan suddenly bowed and scraped, becoming extremely humble. The security guards present silently lowered their guns and switched off the safety, realizing that this was not someone they could afford to offend.

“You have offended me.” Cao Gui’s smile remained unchanged as he slowly said, “I have the right to convene a shareholders’ meeting to discuss whether to remove you from office.”

The charges he just made are not ordinary charges; they involve industrial espionage, theft of trade secrets, and military secrets. If they are true, he will face life imprisonment and serve his sentence until death.

“I’m sorry, sir, I’m apologizing to you.” Menken Balkan slowly bowed and apologized respectfully.

"Heh... If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?" Cao Gui's expression turned cold, and he swung the gleaming silver handcuffs in his hand, smashing them onto Cao Gui's face with a loud slap.

Menken Balkan felt a loud thud in his brain, the world spun around him, he saw stars, and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground, his cheekbones bruised and swollen.

"Uncuff her handcuffs!" Cao Gui said calmly.

“Okay…” Menken Balkan gritted his teeth and stood up, taking the key from the security guard and trembling as he unlocked Gwen’s handcuffs.

“Very good.” Cao Gui nodded, then ignored him and left with Gwen and Harry.

As a shareholder, he does have the right to convene a shareholders' meeting, but the possibility of removing a vice president is not high, because he is not only a vice president, but also the company's fourth largest shareholder, and also a founding member of the company.

However, while the shareholders' meeting wouldn't leave him penniless, it would ruin his business career, confining him to the position of vice president for life. He would also face suppression from other competitors within the company, which would be extremely disadvantageous for him. He was even thinking of going further and acquiring the entire Osborne Group.

Therefore, no matter what Cao Gui said, he had to listen to him.

Watching Cao Gui and the other two leave, Menken touched the wound on his face, his eyes filled with sinister resentment. He had originally thought he could use this to bring down Norman Osborne, but he never expected that he would be the one to embarrass himself.

The third shareholder is now on Osborne's side. If things continue like this, he may never get his hands on this business behemoth.

The security personnel around him slowly left, leaving him standing alone. Menken Balkan took a deep breath, picked up the phone, and dialed a number:

"I agree to what you said, all the technology is yours, but I have one condition: give me the Osborn Group."

Whether due to personal grudges or career aspirations, he had no chance of progress on his own, so... Balkan could only rely on external forces!

"Of course, Mr. Balkan, please don't feel guilty. We're doing this for the sake of world security..."

……

“Harry, your security situation is quite serious,” Cao Gui said with a slight smile. The fact that security personnel dared to directly prevent the chairman’s son from contacting the chairman was tantamount to insubordination.

This is a huge problem, so big that it absolutely must be dealt with!

“I know, my father is already handling it.” Harry shrugged.
