A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Cao Gui nodded in satisfaction. Lightning body tempering was indeed a good choice. He could feel his domineering aura growing stronger, his armament haki becoming harder and harder, more and more indestructible, and his Observation haki's range of perception expanding.

Combined with his Devil Fruit powers, and I'm not exaggerating, apart from the Ancient One, there's no one on Earth who could beat him... Of course, Mephisto is an exception, as are the Celestials and certain hidden deities.

"..."

Thinking about it this way, I guess I'm actually quite weak.

Cao Gui scratched his head, suppressing his newly risen sense of pride. Earth in the Marvel universe is the center of the universe, and it's very dangerous; it's best not to be too ostentatious.

The waters of the earth are very deep; Cao cannot grasp them.

Looking at the sky, Cao Gui discovered that the thunderclouds had completely disappeared. With the help of the Thunder-Thunder Fruit, Cao Gui could now summon lightning from the thunderclouds.

But the prerequisite is that there must be thunderclouds. Right now there's nothing in the sky, so even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't.

However, Cao Gui did not give up. Arcs of electricity crackled in his palm, spreading up his arm and finally covering his entire body. The crackling sound of the electric arcs echoed in the night sky.

Cao Gui closed his eyes slightly, feeling the numbness and tingling in his body. Although it was not as intense as the lightning he had just received from the thunderclouds, the advantage of this method was that it could take care of his entire body. More importantly, it was also a form of training in controlling his abilities.

Only when the morning star rose did Cao Gui retract his power and drive the sphere cloud towards his home.

The next day, Cao Gui, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, opened his eyes. Lightning flickered in his hand, and a lifelike silver-white kitten jumped and rolled in his palm.

Gwen is back? Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. With the development of his Devil Fruit ability, Cao Gui expanded the range of his Observation Haki by using radio waves, employing the same method as Enel.

Although Cao Gui looked down on Enel's development of his Devil Fruit, he had to admit that Enel did a really good job in terms of Observation Haki.

After retracting his abilities, Cao Gui walked out of the quiet room. In the living room, Gwen looked somewhat depressed and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"What's wrong, darling?" Cao Gui pulled her into his arms.

A few days ago, George led his men to arrest two thugs. Gwen, who hadn't been home for a while, took the opportunity to go home yesterday, but... why did she look like this?

"Hmm..." Gwen snuggled against Cao Gui unhappily: "Do you remember those two people Dad caught a few days ago?"

"Yes, I remember." Cao Gui nodded. A familiar face appeared—Jason Bourne. Cao Gui had idolized this super agent when he was a child.

Back then, all my friends admired 007, surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful women, and thought that was the kind of man a man should be.

But Cao Gui was different from them. He liked Jason Bourne. His cold expression, sharp skills, elusive whereabouts, and tender heart made him better than James Bond, who was only good at picking up girls and was almost killed by a woman.

James Bond is a nobody; he's not even worthy of carrying Bourne's shoes.

As a result, Cao Gui now finds that he seems to have become the person he used to hate the most.

“Those two are Langley agents, and specifically, agents of Langley’s Special Operations,” Gwen said with a wry smile.

"Although those Langley associates are in jail, Langley people are still very hostile towards Dad."

"Oh?" Cao Gui's eyes instantly turned hostile, and he planned to find an opportunity to give Langley a divine punishment, to let them know what divine retribution was!

Cao has disliked Lanli for a long time.

Sensing the rising killing intent in Cao Gui, Gwen quickly tried to calm him down:

"That's not the case. They don't intend to do anything to Dad, but they plan to recruit him into Langley School because he has helped Langley a lot, as a way of expressing their gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui frowned: "You should be able to handle this NYPD, right?"

The NYPD is currently the richest and most well-equipped organization in the US, so dealing with Langley, who are playing on home soil, shouldn't be a problem.

“Of course.” Gwen nodded. “They held Langley in check and also gave Dad a month’s leave. Once all of Langley’s people were replaced, the matter was over.”

"Oh." Cao Gui nodded, agreeing. Jason Bourne's revelations were significant.

Langley's people bypassed the judicial system and rebuilt their own judicial system, in which Langley's people could arrest, investigate, and even execute without trial, which was practically no different from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The problem is that the Emperor protects the Embroidered Uniform Guard, while Langley's actions... were done in private by a few bureau chiefs and deputy bureau chiefs.

This group has essentially usurped judicial power, which will definitely anger the US judiciary. Therefore, that group is doomed.

But then Cao Gui asked in confusion, "Then what are you upset about?"

“All four of them went to Miami, and they didn’t take me on their trip…” Gwen pouted and said dejectedly.

Cao Gui: "..."

You made me worry for nothing.

"Hey! Let go of me!" Gwen exclaimed, clutching her clothes tightly. "I have important things to do later."

"What important matter is it?"

"Several experiments."

"Postpone it!" Cao Gui snorted. "I also have important business to attend to, and right now, you are the important business!"

"Ah... damn it, be gentle..."

……

Three hours later, Gwen fell into a deep sleep. Although it was only 11 a.m., it didn't affect her sleep.

Cao Gui got out of bed, intending to continue what he had been doing before and further familiarize himself with the fruit abilities he had already developed.

Just then, the phone rang. It was the school calling to inform all students that school would start the day after tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui's lips twitched. It's already June, and they're starting school at this time? That's outrageous.

This matter has little to do with him. Although school has started, it won't affect Cao Gui's research into Devil Fruit abilities and Haki. Let him use it if he wants.

Chapter 296 Spider-Man Peter Parker...Raising Fish?

In the morning, Cao Gui drove Gwen from New Jersey to Manhattan.

"Huh? Stark Tower was built so quickly?" Gwen tilted her head slightly, looking at the somewhat oddly shaped building outside the window:

"To be honest, this building looks really ugly."

“Stark’s aesthetic sense…who knows?” Cao Gui shrugged and glanced at the Stark Tower.

Perhaps it's because it's become a woman, but the Stark Tower in front of me has lost its original ruggedness compared to the original's sharp angles. Instead, it's become bigger and thicker, looking a bit like a big fat man.

"It really is ugly." Cao Gui affirmed Gwen's assessment; at least compared to the Osborne Building just two blocks away, it was incredibly ugly.

As they spoke, the vehicle quickly entered the gates of Zhongcheng High School, where it was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder. It seemed that the months-long holiday had made the students love campus life again.

However... Kem can't come. Although I don't know what she plans to do, she definitely won't be able to come to school.

"Hey, Gwen, woo!" Lucy came running up from behind in a flurry: "Aha, long time no see."

Huh? You think you're Talking Tom?

Cao Gui rolled his eyes, but Lucy ignored him and started talking to Gwen while holding her arm, leaving Cao Gui standing there.

Just then, the sound of a car approached from behind, and Harry stepped out of the Rolls-Royce. The car door was open, and his personal assistant, Felicia, was also there.

"Long time no see, Cao," Harry chuckled and greeted him.

“Long time no see… Huh?” Cao Gui’s gaze suddenly swept across Harry’s neck, where there was a mark about the size of a little finger. The mark was slightly green and looked very hard.

"Harry, are you alright?" Cao Gui asked in confusion.

"N-nothing..." Harry forced a smile and said, though his hands were trembling slightly.

“If you were fine, you wouldn’t have said you were fine.” Cao Gui frowned. “What kind of illness is this? Is it serious?”

“It’s alright…” Harry walked over and stood beside Cao Gui, then whispered, “It’s a hereditary disease, incurable.”

Cao Gui's expression immediately darkened, and memories flooded back, it seemed that Osborn's spider research was precisely to solve this problem...

"Is there any way?" Cao Gui asked, but he already knew the answer in his heart: there was no way. Moreover, Dr. Connors was already dead, so even if they got Peter Parker's blood, it wouldn't be of much use.

With a thought, Cao Gui flicked his finger and took out a potion from his system inventory. It was a reward from when he leveled up. Cao Gui had used the female hormone on Tony Stark and given it to Sitwell for his stimulant hormones.

Now, in my backpack, there are also male hormones and healing hormones.

However... although this thing can cure terminal illnesses, the success rate is only one to two percent, and it will also shorten one's lifespan by more than ten years.

“There’s no way… I don’t know either…” Harry shook his head with a wry smile: “If I’m lucky, I might have another twenty or thirty years to live, and maybe I can find a way during that time…”

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui put away the healing hormone.

There's still time. His merit points have been reset to zero, and the Mansherry Healing Fruit character card has been temporarily frozen. Trying to use this character card again after some time might be helpful.

If that doesn't work, try Mark's character card, the Phoenix's flames. If that still doesn't work... then find the Ancient One.

In short, there is still time, and curing hormones is not the only option.

"Harry, keep going." Cao Gui patted him on the shoulder: "As long as you don't give up, there will be hope."

Harry nodded solemnly: "I will."

"Hey, Harry, wait, there's... Cao?" At this moment, another person jumped out from behind. Cao and Gui turned around and found that it was Peter Parker, who was jumping around like a little monkey.

"It's Peter. Looks like you're having a great time since school started," Harry said with a smile.

Peter nodded repeatedly, somewhat excitedly saying, "Yes, finally I don't have to work so hard anymore... Ah, it's not that Osborne's job is bad, Osborne is great, I like him very much. He taught me a lot during my boring holidays and earned me a lot of money, but the work is indeed very boring. Forgive me, Harry, you know, it's not that I hate Osborne, I just want a change of scenery, because working all the time is really too tiring, and..."

"Alright, stop talking... I know what you mean." Harry's face darkened, not because of what he said, but because he had said too much.

How come he never noticed how talkative this kid was before?

"Okay, fine, I'll keep it short. I just... hope you understand that I'm very grateful to you, I'm happy to be your friend, and also..."

Cao Gui also had a dark face. As expected of one of Marvel's three biggest chatterboxes, his long rambling was no less than Sitwell's.

Cao Gui was thankful that Deadpool didn't exist in this world, otherwise, if those two were to get together... oh wait, this world has Ant-Man, so hopefully those two won't become friends...

Wait, something's not right!

Cao Gui's heart skipped a beat: Peter Parker had entered Osborne?

"Parker, what do you do for Osborn?" Cao Gui asked.

"Huh?" Peter scratched his head. Although he was very familiar with Harry, he wasn't very familiar with Cao Gui. Was it impolite to ask about someone's job like that?

“He’s Osborn’s second-largest shareholder and has the right to fire you,” Harry explained.

"!

! ”

Peter was immediately shocked. It turned out that this was a big shot, an extremely wealthy man!
