Talking about his past with Osborne, Otto was very excited and angrily pointed out all the evil deeds of Osborne in the past.
Leo didn't expect that because of his gossip, he would lead to such explosive news.
It was almost so violent that Otto lost control of his emotions.
Therefore, Leo quickly comforted:
"Dr. Octavius, please calm down.
I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have suggested that you cooperate with Osborne just now. I just considered the problem with a businessman's mindset.
I didn’t know that the feud between you and Osborne was so deep, and I didn’t know that Osborne was such a person behind his back.”
In order to make Otto feel better, Leo began to fight for Otto.
"I never expected that such a person could become the mayor of New York City. This is really the greatest misfortune for New Yorkers!"
Otto really felt a lot better, and he said very disdainfully:
"How could Osborne become mayor based on his own strength?
Over the years, due to interest disputes, he has actually had conflicts and feuds with many politicians in New York City. How could they support Osborne's coming to power?"
Peter didn't even expect that he would hear so much exciting news today. His curiosity aroused and he quickly asked:
"Then how did he end up becoming mayor?"
"Of course it's because of collusion of interests. He offended some people and naturally colluded with some people.
But what he colluded with was the underground forces in New York City, to put it bluntly, the gangs."
Otto snorted coldly, saying that he was very ashamed of what Osborne had done.
"It is said that there is a person who controls the underground forces in New York City and even the entire United States. Not only that, I heard that he can even influence decisions within the government.
And that's the person Osborne colluded with.
Now that Obens has successfully run for mayor, it seems that these legends are true."
Otto's expression gradually became serious, and he whispered:
That person’s name is Jin Bing, which means the emperor of the underground kingdom. Maybe you haven’t heard of this name, but that…”
"Dr. Octavius, I've heard of that name."
Peter suddenly interrupted Otto and raised his hand to speak.
Bucky has always been very interested in Kingpin. He played poker in his hands and said:
"Actually, I have heard of this name, but I never knew who he was."
Otto was suddenly embarrassed on the spot, not knowing how to continue speaking.
Finally, he looked at Leo for help, hoping that Leo would follow his words and say that he didn't know Kingpin.
"I also know this person."
Leo shrugged. Leo had expected that Osborne and Kingpin would be connected.
"But, Dr. Octavius, that doesn't matter. What matters is what do you want to express?
You're saying that Osborne was actually in cahoots with Kingpin, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Otto breathed a sigh of relief and continued,
"What I want to say is that Norman Osborne is definitely not a good person. His becoming mayor is indeed the greatest misfortune for the people of New York."
"Okay, okay, Dr. Octavius, I understand what you mean. Osborn is indeed a bad guy."
Leo felt that the topic had gone astray and tried to correct it.
"However, what you just said has nothing to do with what we are going to discuss now.
Let's forget about Obans and return our attention to this laboratory and the Neural Arm research project."
At first glance, it seems that Leo is the biggest winner now that he has said bluntly that he has no interest in the neural arm project at all, and then just slapped his ass and left.
After all, he has obtained the "micro nuclear reactor" and "intracranial nerve signal sensing technology" through the mechanic system.
But this is not the case, because if you do this, Leo may have two more potential enemies for no reason.
Leo has obtained these two technologies and will definitely find a way to use them, so that he may be discovered by Peter and Otto.
At that time, Leo became what Otto called a liar and a thief, and his status in Otto's heart became on the same level as Norman Osborne.
After Doctor Octopus turns black, Leo may be in danger of being poked by the tentacles.
The most important thing is that Leo may turn against Peter because of this, and if he is not careful, Leo may even capsize in the gutter.
Of course, the possibility of the above things happening is actually very low. After all, both technologies can be disguised to make them difficult to detect.
However, Leo felt that there were actually more reliable ways to avoid these troubles.
"Dr. Octavius, Peter, I have some preliminary ideas about the 'Neural Arm' project, and I will tell you now."
As expected, Otto and Peter took their attention away from Osborne and Kingpin and focused on the Neural Arm research project itself. They were all ready and listened attentively.
"I'm going to spend two million dollars to buy the 'micro nuclear reactor' technology at once. What do you think, Doctor?"
Leo saw that Otto was hesitant and urged him repeatedly,
"Dr. Octavius, what are you still hesitating about? Do you still want to give Norman Osborn money?!
Or do you think this price is too low? But this is the most reasonable price I have given after careful consideration.
If you leave this technology here, it will only gather dust and eat dust. If you leave it to me, you can get a large amount of research funds at one time.
Of course, if you don’t want to sell this technology, forget it, the final decision is still in your hands, doctor.”
If Otto was unwilling to sell this technology to Leo in the end, it didn't matter to Leo.
Anyway, Leo already had the blueprints for the micro nuclear reactor. He spent money to buy the technology from Otto just to be on the safe side and avoid trouble.
Even if Otto doesn't sell it to Leo, Leo will still use this technology, but when using it, Leo needs to make some disguises and be careful to avoid being discovered by Peter.
"Of course I have no intention of giving any money to that bastard Norman, nor do I think your bid is low, Mr. Erwin."
Otto has been persuaded by Leo, but he also has other worries.
"Mr. Erwin, if I sell this technology to you, can I still build and use micro nuclear reactors in the future?"
"Of course, of course. As long as you no longer use this technology for profit, you are free to use it privately as you wish."
Otto, who was not darkened, was too honest. No wonder he was tricked so miserably by Osborne.
"Thank you so much Mr. Erwin.
As long as I can still use this technology privately in the future, I am willing to sell this technology to you."
Otto's request was met, he laughed happily, and tentatively made another request,
"Of course, if Mr. Irvine is willing to pay more, that would be great."
Leo felt that he needed to take back his previous evaluation of Otto. Otto was no longer honest and had learned to push his limits!
But Leo has actually made a lot of money a long time ago. How can the micro nuclear reactor technology be worth only two million US dollars?
Therefore, Leo said:
"Okay, I can offer 2.5 million US dollars. However, this is already the highest price I can offer, and I cannot increase it."
Otto didn't expect that the one sentence he had the courage to say would actually get an extra five hundred thousand dollars for nothing. He was immediately overjoyed and said quickly:
"Mr. Erwin, deal, it's really a pleasure to work with you!"
Leo is also very happy because he actually makes more.
Besides, two and a half million US dollars is only the value of a Hydra base. For Leo now, this is small money and not worth mentioning.
I don’t know if Sienna would be so angry if she knew Leo’s thoughts!
Peter was actually very happy to see that Leo was so wealthy that he directly spent 2.5 million US dollars to buy the micro nuclear reactor technology.
Peter, a young man who has never experienced cruel business competition and has no urgent desire for money, feels that since Leo is so rich and generous, he will not be stingy in investing in the neural arm project.
So, he asked:
"Mr. Erwin, what about the neural arm project? How much money are you prepared to invest?"
In fact, we can’t blame Peter for taking it for granted that Leo will definitely invest in the neural arm project.
Because in Peter's concept, the NeuroArm project is a project that benefits disabled people around the world and is doing a great thing.
Peter has been devoted to this project recently, and this project is very important to him.
The motivation that supports him in doing this is just because it is a great thing!
Otherwise, how could he unconditionally support Otto's research without receiving any salary?
However, Leo is destined to disappoint the selfless Peter.
"Peter, I'm sorry, I reviewed the neural arm project and felt it had no commercial value.
So, I'm sorry, I can't invest in this project, it will cost me all my money."
