The talkative raven in the world of American comics

Chapter 64: Halloween Night of the Soul

Long ago, when Norman Osborne was young, Donald McCann started working for him.

After years of hard work, McCann has risen to become the second-in-command at the Osborne Group thanks to his abilities.

Then one day, he suddenly discovered that Norman was sick.

And he was very ill.

From a friend's perspective, he hopes Norman can regain his health and return to his former high spirits.

However, from a profit perspective...

He wanted Norman dead.

And it's best to die quickly, so that you don't even have time to make a will.

Because he knew that Norman had a biological son, and although Norman was dissatisfied with his biological son in various ways, he was still his flesh and blood.

The financial empire they had worked so hard to build would one day fall into his son's hands.

Because of his relationship with Norman, he was able to often hold the second-in-command position.

He often fantasized about what would have happened if Norman had handed the company over to him before he left.

He will certainly live up to Norman's expectations and carry forward this financial empire.

But it's a pity.

Norman did not do that.

He was just a regular board member.

You could even say...

He was a good dog that Norman had personally trained.

No matter how hard he tried, in the end, the group had nothing to do with him.

He was not reconciled.

I'm truly unwilling to accept this.

I have contributed to the company; I have staked my entire life on the group.

You might say that I will at least live a carefree life in my later years, without having to worry about daily necessities.

But what if this empire collapses?!

What if this financial empire, which he helped build, were destroyed by some child?!

McCann didn't want to see this happen.

At least for now.

He refused.

"I love this company far more than I have my own life."

......

"No, you can't go in. Mr. Osborne specifically instructed that no one is allowed to approach without his permission."

"Save your breath, Isa."

McCann glanced at his assistant and said, "Harry is destroying this empire, and everything I'm doing now is for the corporation."

"Mr. Osborne knows you'll be fired!" the assistant said.

McCann chuckled. "Fire me, someone who sells technology to criminals? After tonight, you won't be serving Mr. Osborn anymore."

The assistant was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what this guy meant.

That old bastard is trying to seize power!

Reason told her that it was best not to get involved in this kind of power struggle in the business world; she was just an assistant, Osborne's assistant.

But being Osborne's assistant basically means she's on Harry Osborne's side.

Regardless of the outcome.

At the very least, you have to make your stance clear.

Isa advised, "For the sake of all these years we've known each other, Mr. McKen, please don't do such a thing."

Is this advice?

"Maybe so."

"Then you got fired."

McCann said, "Don't forget, Harry isn't the only one with the power to fire people in the corporation."

"..."

The assistant was taken away.

McCann led a group of bribed reporters and security personnel into the laboratory under Harry's special jurisdiction.

Upon entering the laboratory.

Then McCann saw someone he never expected.

Dr. Otto Octavius.

Noticing that a reporter behind him was raising his hand, McCann reached out to stop him, saying, "There's no need to film this."

"clear."

McCann stepped forward and greeted Otto.

"Good evening, Dr. Octavius. Aren't you going to celebrate Halloween tonight? I heard there's a lively event on Coney Island..."

Dr. Otto scratched his head. "You know, scientific problems are what I'm supposed to solve."

"All right."

McCann glanced around and saw several high-tech flying skateboards hanging on the wall, as well as some experimental reagents that were only used in biological experiments.

There was even... a half-finished toy spaceship?

childish.

McCann tilted his head and noticed the whiteboard behind Otto, which was completely blank.

After checking all the technological products displayed in the laboratory, McCann was very satisfied.

It met his expectations perfectly.

He went up and patted Otto on the shoulder.

"Doctor, you're a smart man. I hope you won't do anything foolish."

Otto sighed, knowing perfectly well what he meant.

"Harry is a good kid, give him some time..."

"Otto".

"Ugh."

Otto sighed and prepared to leave the laboratory, which actually belonged to his friend Connors.

But halfway there, he was stopped by McCann.

Otto turned to look at him, his eyes filled with confusion.

McCann asked, "What were you doing just now? The person I know wouldn't leave the whiteboard so empty."

Otto pointed to the half-finished block spaceship and laughed, "I'm assembling this thing."

"You'd put together something like this for no reason?"

"Sometimes you have to learn to relax. Building blocks are actually a good option, and this thing doesn't even come with instructions."

"All right."

McCann eventually let Otto leave the laboratory.

Just as Otto was about to reach the door, he was stopped again by McCann.

Damn it, they're coming again?!

Otto turned around, somewhat annoyed. Couldn't he just say everything at once?!

If they're so hesitant and indecisive, it would be a miracle if they could seize power.

"What's wrong?" Otto maintained his basic smile.

"Aren't you taking these toys with you?" McCann pointed to the half-finished block spaceship.

Otto laughed and said, "It's alright, just leave it there."

......

......

......

"Everyone, run!"

Harry increased the speed of his glider, instantly transforming into a green blur as he rushed towards the large rubble of the wall that was about to collapse to the ground.

He braced his hands against the rubble wall, tilting his head to the side to prevent it from collapsing and hitting innocent people, then watched the culprit leave.

Thrilling, to be precise, refers to several people who possess the same equipment as Thrilling.

They launched attacks in different parts of the city, making him run around like a dog!

"Ugh!!!!"

The flying skateboard beneath his feet suddenly erupted in intense flames, and Harry lifted the entire rubble wall.

After successfully supporting the rubble wall to ensure the evacuation of all people on the street below, he released his grip and flew away into the air with a whoosh.

boom!

The gravel hit the ground with a dull thud and immediately shattered into pieces.

Harry, slightly out of breath, activated the helmet's technology and frantically searched for the "Tiggins" in every neighborhood of the city.

Suddenly, two phone calls came through the helmet.

They belong to Otto and Peter respectively.

Harry chose to pick up his best friend first.

"What's wrong?"

"I know there's been a riot in the city. Don't go alone, wait for me!"

"Feel sorry."

"Harry—"

Harry hung up the phone and maneuvered his flying skateboard to another explosion site.

Time is life, and he doesn't want anyone to get hurt because of it.

During his flight, he called Otto.

"What's wrong, Otto?"

"I think you'd better get back to the group right now. McCann is causing trouble. The riots in the city can be handled by Peter. I think he's more capable than you."

"..."

Harry stopped his flying skateboard and looked back at the most eye-catching building among the city's skyscrapers.

"No, Peter isn't a machine. I have to do something for him first."

After saying that, the figure in green armor accelerated even further.

The emerald green tail flame left a long trail in the sky above the city.

This marks the end of an unfinished Halloween celebration tonight.
