"If he doesn't defect, you can quickly repair your arm and realize your lifelong wish; if he doesn't defect, you, as his assistant, can take a lot of credit for the success of the cross-species genetic experiment.
This will make your name, Kurt Connors, resounding in the academic world; if he had not defected, you would not have been wasting the rest of your life on cross-species genetic experiments without making any progress, thus causing a waste of your life."
Listening to Norman Osborne's provocative words, Connors couldn't help but frown, and after considering his tone, he said: "Mr. Osborne, with all due respect, you can speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Okay Kurt, I won't beat around the bush with you." Norman Osborne smiled and said: "I want to congratulate you. Now you have an opportunity to surpass Richard Parker.
In front of you, there is only one step left. You will be able to complete cross-species genetic experiments, cure AIDS, cancer, motor neurone disease and other terminal diseases that humans are currently unable to overcome, and realize amputated limb regeneration technology... benefiting the entire human race. You will soon become the most powerful person in the 21st century.
Great scientist."
Connors was not surprised at all that Norman Osborn was familiar with the process of cross-species genetic experiments. After all, the entire Osborne Group had no secrets for Osborne.
Norman Osborne was able to lead his family business, which was about to go bankrupt, to become the largest medical and biotechnology group in the world. His ability to control the company can be imagined.
"Mr. Osborne, in fact, you have the greatest credit for the success of the cross-species genetic experiment." Connors said modestly: "Without your support, how could the cross-species genetic experiment be promoted? I believe it.
, the success of the cross-species genetic experiment will also bring due rewards to the Osborne Group."
Although he said self-effacing words, a look of pride could not help but fill Connors's brows. Regarding what a successful cross-species genetic experiment would bring to him, no one would know better than Connors himself.
Much clearer.
Of course, in fact, the biggest beneficiary is not the researcher Kurt Connors, but the Osborne Group, the recipient of all the patents for cross-species genetic experiments.
When Richard Parker and Kurt Connors entered the Osborne Group to study cross-species genetic experiments, the agreement they signed was that all research results on cross-species genes would be owned by the Osborne Group. After all, the Osborne Group
Billions of dollars in research funding have been invested.
However, the Osborne Group cannot let their work go in vain. They will receive a large sum of options from the Osborne Group, and the experimental results will also give them a profit share, which should not be a small number every year.
Therefore, if Connors succeeds in cross-species genetic experiments, the person leading the project will no longer be him, but Norman Osborne.
As for the decay rate algorithm contributed by Richard Parker's son Peter Parker, that is what the Osborne Group deserves. It was an experimental success that they spent billions of dollars on research. Peter Parker took it out.
It can only be regarded as returning the property to its original owner.
"If it hadn't been for Richard Parker's defection, maybe Kurt would have gotten everything you deserve, instead of sinking for more than ten years."
Connors didn’t understand that Norman Osborne chose to keep mentioning these old things. He couldn’t have said it casually. Was he trying to hint at me? What on earth was he trying to say? Was he trying to warn me not to be like Richard?
De Park betrayed him like that?
"When Richard Parker submitted the plan for the cross-species genetic experiment to me, he was still an ordinary researcher within the Osborne Group and was broke. But after I saw the plan, I was immediately impressed and thought he was a
A very talented young man, I am willing to give him a chance! The other board members were not optimistic about this grand plan. It was me who pushed forward this plan against all opinions and personally selected you, Kurt, as his assistant to set up the
Cross-species genetic laboratory. Obviously the experiments have been successful. The Osborne Group can recover its investment and obtain profits. You and Richard Parker can obtain option rewards from the Osborne Group and gain huge fame. We can all sit down
It’s great to share the cake! This is a mutually beneficial and win-win thing, isn’t it?”
"But that bastard Richard Parker!" Norman Osborne suddenly smashed his water glass in anger and said with a ferocious look: "He spent more than 2 billion US dollars of my research funds.
When the experiment was already showing results, he suddenly defected! Kurt, how much I trusted him back then. I risked being kicked out of the Osborne Group to give him absolute trust and help him become famous when he was penniless. But he
What? 2 billion US dollars, 2 billion US dollars more than 10 years ago! I was almost kicked out of the Osborne Group! Is this how he repays my trust in him? "
Connors was silent. What Richard Parker did in this matter was really unreasonable. Connors also regarded the cross-species genetic experiment as the only hope to restore his five-fingered bride. After the experiment was successful, Richard Parker
He didn't say anything and just defected, ruining everything. Even he, Connors, had a lot of resentment towards Richard Parker.
If Richard Parker's son hadn't given him the decay rate algorithm, Connors felt that he would still want to drag Richard Parker out of the graveyard and beat him up.
"Lucky for you, Kurt." Norman Osborn, who was originally furious, moved his eyes to Connors and became gentle.
Connors doesn't think it's because Norman Osborne is interested in his ass, so he treats him like a polite corporal. He knows what he looks like. That's why Norman Osborne suddenly behaves like this
, fearing that he was in need, Connors became a little wary.
Connors is not an idiot, and even an idiot cannot become a top expert in herpetology.
He figured it out in an instant, and even as soon as he came in, he quietly exerted pressure on himself, constantly mentioning Richard Parker, and mentioning the past was also hinting at something to me.
"Kurt, I heard that there have been major breakthroughs in cross-species genetic experiments?" Norman Osborn asked.
Connors pondered: "Yes, the experiment has caused a mouse to regrow its stump. It seems that a very critical step has been taken."
"Very good, Kurt, I know that I, Norman Osborne, will not be wrong about the person. You, Kurt Connors, are not much worse than Richard Parker." Norman Osborne laughed.
: "Now that we can make mice grow stumps, there is only a small step left to make people grow stumps. I want to congratulate you. You are the greatest scientist in human history after Newton and Einstein.
I can't wait to see you wear the crown! Kurt, then start human experiments as soon as possible!"
The room suddenly became silent, the atmosphere was depressing, and an invisible aura of terror spread through the room. Connors looked behind Norman Osborne, and the darkness seemed like a big mouth trying to swallow him.
Come.
Even Norman Osborne's cold face became like the face of the devil in Connors' eyes.
"Human experiment?" Connors looked at Norman Osborne in disbelief and said: "Mr. Osborne, this is not in compliance with the rules at all. The experiment is still in the preliminary stage and must be observed in the laboratory...
"
"Kurt, I say, human experiments can now be carried out!" Norman Osborn's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he stared straight at Connors.
A depressing atmosphere enveloped Connors, and he knew what would happen to those who disobeyed Norman Osborne.
Connors was silent. He finally knew why Norman Osborn was doing this series of strange actions today. In order to pursue the speed of experiments, he actually asked him to conduct cross-species genetic experiments on humans that had only preliminary breakthroughs.
.Does he know what this means? This means that at least hundreds of ordinary people will die. This is still a very successful result of the experiment. If there are other difficulties in the process, I am afraid that thousands more people will die.
strangeness.
Is Norman Osborne crazy? Does he know what the consequences will be once this matter is leaked to the media? Even if the share price of Osborne Group has been cut in half, Connors will not be surprised. As Osborne,
The group's chairman, Norman Osborne, will suffer legal liability in addition to monetary losses.
Even the man who led the experiment, Kurt Connors... I'm afraid he won't be able to escape trial.
Stared by Norman Osborne's sharp eyes, Connors' mouth was full of bitterness and he said slowly: "But Mr. Osborne, this is... this is illegal..."
"No, this is not illegal, it will be fair and legal, you just need to do it." Norman Osborne smiled and said: "Kurt, I will solve all your worries without any worries.
The bad influence involves you. Even if the matter is exposed in the future, you do not need to bear any responsibility for this matter. Someone will take care of it for us. I swear on the name of the Osborne family."
"But... this may kill many people..." Connors said with difficulty: "Mr. Osborne, the experiment will progress faster, give me another month..."
"But Kurt, people have to die!" Norman Osborne interrupted Connors arrogantly, and said cold-bloodedly and ruthlessly: "At least they can die worthily. I will give them enough
The compensation will ensure that their families will have a good life in the second half of their lives."
Norman Osborn simply didn't believe that Connors could really complete the cross-species genetic experiment within a month with the slow speed of the experiment, and he couldn't afford to wait, even for one more day.
It was a huge risk for him, because he didn't know when he would die quietly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Osborne, I really can't..." Connors said with difficulty.
He is just a scientist who wants to benefit all mankind, not a murderous executioner.
Thinking that his hands would be stained with the blood of countless people and seeing them wailing in front of him, Connors was trembling in his heart.
This is not what he should do!
"Kurt!" Norman Osborn squinted his eyes, looked at Connors and said: "Don't you want to get this opportunity to surpass Richard Parker? Think about how he treated you in the beginning? Obviously
It only takes a little time for him to restore your arm and allow you to harvest countless things. But because of his own selfish interests, he wants to monopolize the fruits of cross-species genetic experiments, so he ignores you! In fact, he wants to monopolize the fruits of cross-species genetic experiments!
You didn't want to fight with him at all, you just wanted to recover your arm, but he didn't even give you this chance... As long as you successfully complete the cross-species genetic experiment and bring good news to all mankind,
From now on, no one will remember who Richard Parker is, only your name, Kurt Connors, will be remembered, and your arm can be restored."
"I also want to recover my arm, I also want to gain the spotlight, and I also want to get endless money, but I can't ignore my conscience..."
"Kurt, let me remind you once that all patents for cross-species genetic experiments belong to the Osborne Group. If you don't want to personally put a successful mark on cross-species genetic experiments, I believe there is someone willing to do it for you.
Done." Norman Osborne looked fiercely: "Don't make a mistake!"
Now that the experiment has progressed to the point of mixing the genes of mice and lizards, the most critical step has been successful. If we find a master of biology to take over, the cross-species genetic experiment will definitely not be impossible to continue. In the name of the Osborne Group
First, it is not difficult to find another biology master of this level, because Kurt Connors is not indispensable.
It’s just that in Norman Osborne’s view, stability is the most important thing. In the hands of Kurt Connors, the experiment should advance the fastest and have the highest success rate. He should have just spent a long time talking to Kurt Connors here.
.
"I want to surpass Richard Parker, but not in this way. Otherwise, when I die and enter hell, Richard Parker will laugh at me and use despicable means to defeat him. So..." Connors
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "If you insist on forcing me, Mr. Osborne, I will choose to resign."
After a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart, Connors finally realized what he really wanted and decided not to compromise with evil out of jealousy, desire, and greed.
Yes, he admitted that he was jealous of Richard Parker and resented him for defecting at a critical moment. He was also greedy for money and had an almost paranoid desire to restore his arm, but what about that?
He doesn't want to become a person without a bottom line!
Norman Osborne fell silent.
"But Kurt, do you know?" Seeing Connors about to leave, Norman Osborne suddenly said: "I'm going to die..."
