A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Cao Gui's eyes flickered. Well... Harry was too immature. In terms of learning ability, he was also a genius, but he was still a bit lacking compared to Tony Stark. He hadn't reached the level where people couldn't live without Tony Stark, so Stark had great value, which was why Obadiah had kept Tony Stark around.

But Harry was different. In the original story, he was completely manipulated by Menken. Before he could even get comfortable with the newly acquired Osborn Corporation, Menken usurped his position.

Therefore, Norman Osborne had to continue to protect him until he matured.

"Lunch is canceled, I'll treat you guys instead," Harry clapped his hands and chuckled.

"Hmph, do you think we need your hospitality?" Cao Gui said irritably. You big third wheel, why don't you just disappear?

Upon hearing this, Harry realized that not only was Cao Gui unhappy, but Gwen was also unhappy.

"Oh, I see."

Harry was exasperated and quickly left. "No way," he thought, "I need to find a girlfriend too. I can't be the only one eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)."

"Where do we go now?" Cao Gui asked with a smile as he watched Harry leave.

“You’re a man, you decide,” Gwen said irritably, showing no backbone whatsoever.

"Let's eat first, then go to Helen's beauty salon to pick up some supplies. I'll give you a spa treatment when we get home!"

As he spoke, Cao Gui pulled her into his arms.

“Whatever…whatever you want…” Gwen tilted her head slightly, her pretty face flushed as she avoided Cao Gui’s gaze.

After returning from the Bahamas, Gwen's family became incredibly wealthy. Helen went from being a housewife to a rich housewife overnight. To keep herself occupied, she opened a beauty salon. Making money wasn't important; the main thing was to have some fun.

Cao Gui and Gwen visited the shop, and it was very nice. Gwen even tried a spa service, with Cao Gui as the technician.

"Hahaha, let's go!"

……

As the sun sets in the west, a magnificent sunset appears on the horizon, its warm yellow hues bringing a sense of comfort.

But within the Osborne Group, everyone was terrified. The entire security department was dismantled, with one supervisor and two deputy supervisors dismissed, and the entire security team of seventy-two people from three teams all packing up and leaving.

Norman Osborne used absolutely forceful methods to dismantle Menken Balkan's influence in the company. After today, Menken Balkan's position as vice president will be meaningless.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be fired a week later for entering the company building with his left foot. Then he will face corruption charges, until he is penniless and imprisoned. All the fruits of his life's work will be taken back by the Osborne Group.

Menken Balkan certainly knew this; he was all too familiar with this kind of thing. He had dealt with his enemies in the same way far too many times to get to where he was now.

Therefore, he certainly wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom. Just as his forces were being eliminated and the security department was undergoing a complete overhaul, he took action.

Dr. Curtina Connors, who was tidying up her office and getting ready to go home, suddenly received a FedEx package.

When was this package delivered?

Connors asked curiously, "Normally, packages should be delivered to one's home, not the office... How did that deliveryman get through Osborne's access control system?"

"I don't know, I didn't see that deliveryman." The assistant shrugged. The security department was in complete disarray, and even accessing surveillance footage had become a hassle.

"Never mind, let's leave it." Dr. Connors glanced at the package; it was thin and probably contained documents or something similar, posing no danger.

After saying that, he picked up the package and left the office.

When Dr. Connors got home, he opened the package and his pupils contracted sharply. It was an old document covered in dust.

But to his shock, the document belonged to Richard Parker, and there were two red marks on it.

This is the symbol of the Double Zero Plan, the culmination of all his hard work in the first half of his life!

"God... I'm saved!" Dr. Connors' eyes lit up with excitement.

"Who helped me? Thank you so much!"

Chapter 191 The Lizard Doctor is About to Be Born!

"Sir, Richard Parker's file has been delivered to Curtina Connors." A balding man in a black suit smiled, his smile warm and inviting.

"That's good, Coulson." The office chair slowly spun around, revealing Nick Fury's head, which resembled a black omelet.

"Sit down, no one has found out about this, has anyone?" Nick Fury said with a smile.

“Sir, I suspect you’re underestimating my abilities.” Cole sat with one side of his backside in the chair, but still joked with Nick Fury.

“Phil Coulson, a Level 6 agent, who dares to look down on your abilities?” Black Egg smiled. “After this is over, I will promote you to Level 7 agent.”

“This… sir, may I ask about this?” Phil Coulson asked hesitantly. “I don’t understand why you’ve been targeting the Osborn Group.”

For an agent, asking about the mission's purpose is a major taboo, but he was a close protégé of Nick Fury, whom he had personally promoted. Moreover, as Phil Coulson said, he really couldn't understand why Nick Fury was always targeting Osborn.

Although he didn't know what impact this document would have on the Osborn Corporation, it was definitely important because it was personally instructed by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and he, a Level 6 agent, had personally handled it.

“Hehehe, last time I just wanted to make money, but it’s different now…” Nick Fury chuckled, his single eye gleaming with excitement, and said in a deep voice, “Osborn Corporation’s Super Soldier Project has succeeded!”

"What?!" Phil Coulson jumped up from his chair. "How is this possible?!"

Since Captain America's creation, countless people, including S.H.I.E.L.D., have tried to replicate Dr. Erskine's Super Soldier Serum, but without exception, they have all failed.

Today, his superior told him that someone had succeeded.

“Sir, this technology must be controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D., and cannot be given to anyone else!” Phil Coulson said firmly and decisively.

Nick Fury nodded. No wonder he trained such a soldier; he was just like him.

“So I sent Richard Parker’s research data back to the Osborn Corporation,” Nick Fury said.

“This… I still don’t understand,” Phil Coulson said, frowning.

Nick Fury wasn't angry; instead, he explained his plan to Coulson little by little. He desperately needed someone to listen to him.

“Take a look at this.” Black Egg tapped on the desk, activating a holographic projection: “This is that successful super soldier. She’s as perfect as Captain America now, but… if I’m not mistaken, she should be a special being, just like Captain America.”

Phil Coulson looked closely and saw a person dressed in a black combat suit. In the steel jungle of Manhattan, she flicked her wrist and shot out a white thread that swung continuously through the steel jungle, quickly weaving through it.

“This is…that woman.” Coulson’s pupils contracted. He had seen her once at the Eastern Power Hub. At that time, her level of protection was very low, but unfortunately, he hadn’t taken it seriously and hadn’t thought to check her identity.

Later, the other side reappeared in front of Sykes Building, but by then, they had not only upgraded their defenses but also acquired a stick and a spear, making them significantly more formidable.

“The Osborn Corporation has a double-zero program, which studies cross-species genetics to achieve the super soldier program. Although the methods are different, the results are the same,” Nick Fury said.

"Initially, this project was about studying spiders. There were three researchers: Richard Parker, Norman Osborn, and Curtina Connors. But Richard Parker ruined the project himself, causing it to stall for fourteen years."

"Then, sir, why are you still..." Phil Coulson asked, puzzled.

“Every scientific research project takes a long time, but Norman Osborn doesn’t have that time.” Nick Fury smiled mysteriously.

"The appearance of that document means hope, so Norman will definitely do everything he can to urge the plan forward."

"Then... an experimental accident occurs, Osborn is in crisis, Norman Osborn dies suddenly... How pleasing to the ear!"

Nick Fury grinned, thoroughly enjoying himself!

"Understood!" Phil Coulson's eyes flashed with a sharp light. It would be time for S.H.I.E.L.D. to make their move!

In one move, Osborne will surely have nowhere to escape!

"Chief, there's another question. Why don't we just arrest that woman and conduct experiments on her?"

Phil Coulson had a sudden thought and asked, given his habits as director, it was impossible for him to just watch this excellent experimental subject live until now.

"Someone is protecting her."

Nick Fury shrugged and pulled up another video. A white-masked man in black robes lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaping and bounding across the exterior walls of New York buildings. With a wave of his arm, he retracted the white threads that were stuck to the walls.

Phil Coulson's expression turned serious. This was the man who had destroyed his Quinjet in an instant and also wiped out his entire combat squadron.

"So that's how it is."

Phil Coulson nodded. If it were just one person, S.H.I.E.L.D. would be able to handle it with ease, but facing two people at the same time, especially two people with a close relationship, would definitely put them at a great disadvantage. No wonder the director could resist the temptation.

……

Osborne Group, Connors Laboratories.

Dr. Connors and Gwen stood in front of a giant projection beam, operating it continuously. Above the beam, a transparent lizard slowly took shape, followed by a transparent mouse, except that this mouse had lost a front paw.

"Dr. Connors, the data models for the lizard fish and mice have been successfully established. Their DNA data will be modeled in three minutes." Gwen slowly withdrew her hands and left the control panel.

"That's good!" Dr. Connors nodded, trying to calm himself down, but his originally pale face was now slightly flushed, showing his excitement.

“See this lizard, Gwen?” Dr. Connors said, adjusting his glasses.

"These creatures lived in the same era as dinosaurs. They had unparalleled limb regeneration abilities, immense strength, and self-regulating body temperature... Can you imagine how envious I am of them!"

At this point, Dr. Connors' voice trembled slightly. He was indeed very jealous of the lizard, but soon he would be able to possess the lizard's abilities.

“Enter the decay rate formula!” Connors said.

"it is good!"

Gwen nodded. She knew the purpose of Connors' research; his desire to restore his arm was beyond the comprehension of those of them who were "whole."

As the decay rate formula is input, the two double-helix DNA data models begin to rotate.

"System ready, gene conversion initiation..." A soft female voice echoed in the laboratory; it was the voice of VAA, the artificial intelligence of the Osborn Group.

"Conversion in progress... Conversion failed, experimental subject has died..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the transparent mouse data model turned completely red.

"Conversion in progress...failed..."

"Conversion in progress...failed..."

"..."

The failure notifications echoed in the laboratory, and also in Dr. Curtina Connors's mind. Connors's face turned ashen; his hope was shattered!

"Transformation in progress... Transformation successful! Experimental subject has successfully regenerated and vital signs are normal!"

The transparent mouse data model slowly grew out its missing front paw.

boom!

Connors felt a loud bang in his brain, as if his scalp had exploded. Hope reappeared; he had hope again!

"Oh my God..." Dr. Connors collapsed to the ground, as if he were completely exhausted, sweat dripping down his face.

"We succeeded! We finally succeeded!"

"Congratulations, Doctor."
