Osborne returned to his villa with a gloomy look on his face. The project he had been working on for so long was just a little short of human trials. As long as the adjustments were made and the mouse experiments were completely correct, he could enter the next stage.
But now, General Slocomb actually wants to force him to complete the human experiment within two weeks and produce the results.
This is not scientific research. Anyone knows that this is definitely not a scientific experiment. The observation period alone can be completed in more than two weeks.
Not to mention that we still need to adjust the formula for strengthening the potion. Adjusting it from the basics will take time.
"It's forcing me to make mistakes, especially from the guys on the board."
A cold light flashed in Norman's eyes. He didn't know that he was now forced to a dead end. There were only two roads in front of him, two extremely dangerous roads.
Conducting human experiments, then under the current situation, the probability of problems is extremely high. As long as problems occur, it will be an excuse for the board of directors to impeach him. At that time, he will be kicked out of the board of directors without any effort, and he may even be imprisoned.
.
Either human experiments will not be conducted and the results will not be obtained. At that time, as the chairman, he will also be blamed for unfavorable decision-making. Sooner or later, he will be impeached and choke to death. Compared with the above, the only better thing is that he will not clank.
jail.
However, Norman was full of unwillingness.
He had no retreat at all, especially the one of giving up human experiments.
There is an inherited genetic disease in their family. If the human enhancement potion cannot be completed, a short life and early death will be the inevitable outcome. Not only will he die, but his son Harry Osborn will also die.
"Just try it on me and give it a try..."
Osborne suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he took a dangerous approach and conducted human experiments himself.
"Mr. Osborne"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him. He was startled and turned around, showing a look of horror.
"what are you?!"
Less than five meters behind him, a Goblin-like monster wearing a British suit, only half the height of an adult, stood behind him.
The movements of the goblin ramen were very polite, but in the eyes of Norman Osborn, they were not so harmonious, because this was an unheard of monster that suddenly appeared.
"Good evening, Mr. Osborne."
Ramen performed a standard etiquette, and then said: "I am Ramen of the fairy clan."
Although the name made Norman feel a little pained, he didn't have time to notice it now. The creature in front of him actually said that he was a goblin.
When he thought about it carefully, he realized that the appearance of ramen was indeed somewhat similar to fairies in fairy tales, but that was a legend, not the real world.
However, now there was a living goblin standing in front of him, and he even felt that he was dreaming.
"You, why are you here?"
Norman tried to communicate with Ramen to get as much information as possible.
"My master ordered me to send you an invitation letter."
"Invitation card?"
Norman was stunned and looked confused.
a goblin
Here, I sent you an invitation letter, and its owner?
"Yes, it is an invitation. This is an opportunity given to you by the great master. If you want to solve your troubles, then use this invitation, Mr. Osborne."
Although she looks polite, the goblin is actually very arrogant at heart, especially when it comes to Zhang Ziyu.
In the eyes of fairies like La Mian, Zhang Ziyu is the supreme god. It is Norman's honor to be able to favor Norman Osborne with a chance.
Ramen snapped his fingers, and then a golden special invitation suddenly appeared in front of Norman.
He was startled, but somehow he reached out and caught the invitation.
The invitation made entirely of gold exudes a faint dazzling light, and runes can be vaguely seen dancing on it. There are only a few large characters "Ranch Club" engraved on the invitation.
Norman was very sure that this was not a technological means, because he read special information from the invitation at the moment of contact.
"Don't miss this opportunity, Mr. Osborne."
After Ramen finished speaking, he snapped his fingers and disappeared in front of Norman.
"A mysterious man who can trade magical items?"
Norman was startled, but he was more shocked by the information in the invitation and could not recover for a long time.
He pondered for a long time, his eyes flickering, and suddenly he held the invitation tightly, golden light lingering in his palms.
"This might be an opportunity."
------------------
Norman is in a difficult situation and will not easily give up any chance to save his life, even if the other party's origin is beyond his expectation.
But he still decided to go to the address recorded in the invitation letter to see what the mysterious man planned.
Early the next morning, he drove alone to Queens, followed the instructions in the invitation letter, and turned into a community.
"Is this right here?"
When the car he was driving stopped and he looked at the apartments and houses in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.
Shouldn't it be a more magical place?
"brush"
Just when he was confused, a figure suddenly appeared next to him. It was the fairy ramen that came to his house yesterday.
"A wise choice, Mr. Osborne, get out of the car and follow me."
Norman didn't ask any questions, got out of the car obediently, and followed the ramen to the door.
Ramen opened the door, turned his palm slightly toward the door, and said sideways: "Please, Mr. Osborne."
"Thank you."
Norman nodded his thanks, straightened the collar of his suit, and walked in with the invitation.
As soon as he entered, the scene in front of him suddenly exceeded his expectation.
It is obviously a residential house, but the space inside is actually much wider than any villa. Although it is not a splendid decoration, various stone sculptures are lifelike in the living room.
In a trance, it seemed that he had traveled through time and space, and he finally realized more intuitively that this was no ordinary place.
"Tap tap tap"
The sound of footsteps came, and Norman followed the sound and found that it was a young Asian.
He looks young, in his early twenties, extremely handsome, and exudes a mysterious aura.
'He is definitely not this age.'
Norman suddenly made a judgment in his mind, because Zhang Ziyu's temperament was something he had never heard of.
"Dear Sir, Norman Osborne is here at your invitation. Please forgive me for the intrusion."
Norman was very polite, not at all condescending as the head of Osborne Industries. He kept his attitude very low.
"You came much faster than I expected, and you haven't injected yourself with the human enhancement potion yet."
Zhang Ziyu smiled. The Norman in front of him was still an ordinary person. His vitality was not strong. On the contrary, there was a hint of weakness hidden under this healthy appearance.
There is a genetic disease in the Norman Osborne family. When the disease breaks out at a certain age, the person will gradually become alienated and then die.
This is why Norman is obsessed with researching human body enhancement potions.
"Sit down and talk."
Zhang Ziyu signaled Norman to sit down. Norman didn't dare to neglect him and sat on the sofa opposite Zhang Ziyu. After sitting upright, he asked carefully: "I don't know your name, sir?"
"Zhang Ziyu."
Zhang Ziyu looked at Norman and asked, "Do you want me to help you get through this difficult time in exchange for something that can be used to make human enhancement potions?"
