Chapter 93 [Pepper’s Private Request]
Inside the complex underground sewer pipes in New York.
New York is located on the seaside. At the beginning of the design, the designer planned a complex and huge drainage system for the city.
To ensure that the drainage system can operate normally if there is a disaster such as a tsunami.
To this day.
Not many people can figure out how many unknown areas remain in New York’s underground drainage system.
This is also nicknamed the New York Maze.
Dr. Connors is hiding in the deepest part of this maze, in an abandoned underground drainage fork.
After being transformed by Dr. Connors’ skillful hands, this place has become a damp, cold and comfortable home.
After Dr. Connors originally combined the lizard serum, he also inherited many characteristics of the lizard, such as being cold-blooded, needing to bask in the sun, etc.
But after Yang An's parasitism, Dr. Connors' lizard state was fixed to an alienated state.
So most of the negative effects are offset.
In addition, Dr. Connors has become more powerful after becoming blackened.
If you meet the fledgling Spider-Man.
Tsk, it will definitely give poor Peter a hard drink.
Fortunately, Peter Parker is doing all his research in the Osborn Group at this time-trying to figure out what happened to him.
Not yet Spider-Man.
Peter Parker’s uncle and aunt also made their originally embarrassment life much more comfortable because Peter brought back a large amount of scholarship money from the Osborne Group.
I didn’t meet Uncle Ben for the time being when he went to buy discounted goods, but he encountered a robbery.
Of course Ben Parker knows that the security situation in Queens is very poor, and he also knows that it is not safe to go out late at night, but he is forced by life.
But things are different now. Yang An gave Peter a 'job' and also gave Ben Parker a security guard job. It didn't sound very good, but the pay was generous.
On the one hand, Yang An doesn’t want Uncle Ben, “the only good guy in Marvel,” to die like that.
On the one hand, it is because Ben Parker is also a member of the Parker family.
Maybe he also has a spider totem on his body and can become extraordinary, which is worthy of Yang An's attention.
In his original destiny, Peter's first enemy was changed by Yang An.
Now that Dr. Connors is ready for revenge, he has a grander plan.
“Ta~ta~ta!”
The sewer pipes are damp, cold and have a stench that permeates all year round, making people feel nauseous and vomiting at the slightest smell.
Yang An controlled the driver, wore a black robe and shuttled quickly in a floating posture, and finally came to a seemingly closed corner.
Ignore the iron sign hanging on the passage that has become rusty over the years - [No Passage]
Yang An moved on.
It didn’t take long for the darkness ahead to turn into light, and it suddenly became clear!
By judging the location of the parasite, he successfully found the hiding place of Dr. Connors.
Just turned in.
A terrifying large lizard with dark green body and ferocious barbs appeared in front of me.
His back was turned to Yang An.
I was busy working on something on the research table, and I could vaguely see what seemed to be an dissected crocodile corpse.
Suddenly, the lizard monster became alarmed. He suddenly turned its ugly black lizard head and spit out the core, "Who!"
"My lord!"
See Seeing the familiar black-robed figure floating in the air, Dr. Connors suddenly turned from vigilance to joy, mixed with a little fear.
"The fact that you condescend to visit this filthy and filthy place really scares me, no, your loyal servant!"
Without any hesitation, Dr. Connors flicked the barb-covered lizard. Tails came to Yang An and fell to the ground.
The enthusiasm and reverence filled with strong tone cannot be faked.
“Very good.”
Look at the fanaticism in Dr. Connors’ cold-blooded eyes.
Yang An was sure that Dr. Connors had been brainwashed to become him, no, to become a loyal believer of the Lord of Darkness, "Holy Lord", and nodded slightly in confirmation.
"The joy of revenge, you have to have someone to share it with you, right?"
The hoarse voice echoed in the space, making people's hair stand on end.
"It is my honor, Lord!"
Dr. Connors could not conceal his excitement, although comparing the two bodies, the scene looked very funny.
For Dr. Connors, the Holy Lord is his reborn parent, the being who gives him power beyond mortals, helps him avenge his hatred, and gives him the opportunity to kill his enemies with his own hands.
The brainwashing of "black energy" and "will".
Yang An successfully made Dr. Connors, who has committed crimes repeatedly and has become the most terrifying urban legend in New York City, his most loyal believer.
Yang An slowly floated in front of Dr. Connors. Without any nonsense, he stretched out his hand and pressed softly.
"Body Regeneration Level 2" "Hydration" - Unlocked!
Dr. Connors lowered his head in reverence, feeling a steady stream of power pouring into his body, as well as the awakening of extraordinary abilities.
“This is a reward for your loyalty and a reward.”
“Don’t forget, Connors, you have a more ambitious goal!” The Holy Lord’s iconic hoarse and evil voice sounded.
To Connors, it was like the sound of nature.
He raised his head timidly and looked at the terrifying face under the black hood, and his fear turned into ecstasy.
"Yes, my master! For the greater good."
"It's time to announce our existence to the entire New York and the world." Yang An raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Turn around and continue to float forward, arriving in front of Connors' research platform.
“Let the entire population of New York become evolved lizard-men. Only existences like lizards that can regenerate their bodies are the advanced forms of human evolution.”
“Let the entire population of New York become evolved lizard-men. People are transformed into a higher form, so you don’t have to hide around anymore.”
Hearing the Lord's calm words, Dr. Connors also showed a longing expression, but then shook his head.
“No, everything I did was to publicize your name and let those ignorant mortals know that you are the most holy existence in the world!”
“They were deceived. Only by becoming my kind can I truly feel your greatness."
This is the first time Yang An has seen brainwashing him like this. Although he is surprised, Connors is more and more convinced. If the Holy Lord is fanatical, it will be more beneficial to him, right?
So Yang An nodded, "I'm very pleased that you can think so."
"There is a talented demon puppet imprisoned in the Osborne Group. Release him and let him be your helper."
"Yes!"
Dr. Connors has no idea. Nod hesitantly.
Yang An glanced at the 'crocodile carcass' on the research table again, his eyes narrowed and he felt nauseated.
Dr. Connors’s research is becoming more and more anti-human. Is he trying to transform people?
Yang An frowned. This is why he hates mad scientists.
After turning black, Dr. Connors has completely lost his bottom line. It seems that the choice to let him use his remaining energy as soon as possible and then deal with him is the right choice.
"As soon as possible."
Yang An didn't show anything strange, he just glanced at it calmly, then turned around and gave instructions.
After Dr. Connors quickly agreed, he looked up again and saw that the Holy Lord floating on the research platform had disappeared.
"Power. Powerful power, hahaha."
Dr. Connors raised his arm, and as soon as his heart moved, his claws turned into a ball of floating water, and he could no longer conceal his excitement and excitement.
This once again strengthened his belief that only by serving the great Lord can this dirty world become pure. Connors then came to a container that was as thick as two people holding each other. During this period, in addition to killing his enemies, he focused all his attention on making lizard serum.
It is time for the entire people of New York to evolve.
He planned to spread the lizard serum from the air, so he had to choose the highest place.
The current tallest building in New York is the newly built Stark Tower!
"Bang!" The lights went out and the entire fork fell into darkness.
Due to the aging of the circuit, short circuits often occur. For more than half a month, Dr. Connors has become accustomed to living in the dark.
But this time!
A pair of scarlet eyes looked like ghosts in the darkness.
It's going to go out into the sun!
Yang An followed Old Norman's instructions and took a private helicopter to the parking platform on the top of Stark Tower.
This place has not been transformed into a recycling platform for steel suits by Tony.
The sound of wind stirred by the wings of the helicopter whizzed and slowly stopped.
Yang An walked down quickly.
A beautiful blonde in business attire is waiting at the edge of the lifting platform.
"Welcome to visit, Mr. Osborne." The other party showed a decent smile, "I am Mr. Stark's assistant secretary, you can call me Pepper."
Look Here is Pepper Pepper, who will assist Tony in running Stark Industries in the future.
I have heard of the famous name for a long time.
But today was the first time Yang An met Iron Man’s future wife.
The appearance is not much different from the one in the movie, but he is younger and more beautiful, and most importantly, very elegant.
I also know that if you look ugly, Tony Stark’s face control will not be satisfied.
Yang An smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello Miss Pepper, you can call me Harry. Mr. Osborne is a bit too formal."
"Okay sir, please come over here. ”
Pepper shook hands gently with a sense of distance, did not call Yang An's name by name, and walked to the front to lead the way.
Yang An knew why she was so cold.
Some time ago, when Yang An took charge of the Osborne Group instead of Old Norman, some good media compared him to Tony Stark.
Take Tony as a playboy who has passed away, and regard Yang An as a new generation of young super rich.
This was not Yang An’s intention, but women are all emotional. As Tony’s personal assistant, Pepper naturally turned towards her boss.
The attitude is naturally not very enthusiastic.
"CEO Obadiah is holding a shareholders' meeting in Los Angeles. Mr. Harry, why didn't you attend?"
Walking into the spacious top floor, Pepper slowed down a little and looked at It seemed like a casual chat, but it was actually a test.
The reason why Yang An came to visit Tony Stark.
And not being turned away.
Except because the Osborne Group is also a military-industrial enterprise and a large group.
It is also because Yang An is now one of the shareholders of Stark Industries.
No matter who travels through time, they will not miss the kidnapping of Tony Stark, a major event at the beginning of the Marvel Universe.
They will basically try their best to make a fortune, and Yang An is no exception.
However, unlike other time travelers who just cashed out, Yang An did not cash out when Tony Stark returned and Stark Industries' stock price soared, but kept increasing his shares.
It now holds about 3.17% of the shares, and is already considered a major shareholder.
Otherwise, Yang An’s request to meet Tony Stark would probably be rejected.
"My father is not worried about me traveling across the entire United States. As you know, a big lizard is targeting the Osborne Group recently."
Yang An spread his hands and said jokingly.
"And my father is more optimistic about Tony, saying that he is the soul of the Stark Group."
As soon as these words came out, Pepper's attitude became much more enthusiastic.
Pepper did not doubt Yang An's words.
I think so, Harry Osborn can only be regarded as a mediocre and conservative king when he takes over the Osborne Group. Now that old Norman has recovered, he has naturally taken over the group again.
From the perspective of old Norman, it is not surprising that he is more optimistic about Tony Stark.
"Mr. Stark is still recovering from his injuries, and the visiting time may be brief, but I can take you to visit this building." Pepper took the initiative to invite.
"That would be perfect."
Yang An nodded in agreement, "I also want to see what the inside of the tallest building in New York is like."
"You know, Those pervasive media failed to take any useful photos. "
The so-called visit to Tony Stark is just a look through a glass wall.
Just a few days are not enough for Tony Stark to recover from serious injuries.
In addition, his body has not been well-conditioned to begin with. He suffered too much torture when he was kidnapped. This will cause him to be severely injured again. He will not die unless he survives.
At this moment, Tony Stark is half asleep, and it is impossible to meet and talk.
Yang An just glanced at it casually, and then went to the reception room with Pepper and sat down.
Pepper brought hot black tea and desserts.
"Sorry sir, Mr. Stark is not in good condition."
Despite the goodwill expressed by Yang An just now, under Pepper's capable appearance, the fatigue during this period was slightly revealed, and her tone was a little low.
"To be honest, you were the first shareholder who came to see Mr. Stark after his accident."
"That's such a shame."
Yang Ann was not surprised that Tony Stark turned against everyone so quickly.
Shopping malls are like battlefields.
Tony's forced closure of the weapons department touched the interests of too many people. At this time, Obadiah stepped forward to restart the weapons production department and restore the stock price, which was equivalent to turning the tide.
In comparison, Tony Stark is very dangerous.
Yang An was thinking while comforting Pepper.
Judging from the news he got.
Tony Stark is suspected of amnesia, and there is no hope of recovering to health.
So many surprises made Yang An worried that Iron Man would not be born and Obadiah would win the final victory.
After chatting for a few words.
Pepper hesitated for a moment and spoke abruptly.
"Mr. Harry, please forgive my presumption, can I ask you a personal question."
"Huh? Please ask."
Yang An looked at Pepper's light green gem-like eyes, his heart moved, but he spoke calmly on the surface.
"Legilimency" is activated!
"I heard that Mr. Norman Osborne was suffering from a stubborn disease before, but he was cured later. I wonder if Mr. Harry can introduce the doctor to me."
Pepper said very seriously. .
Based on the goodwill expressed by Yang An, there is also the current bad situation that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
Pepper knew that if he wanted to prevent Obadiah from gradually sidelining Tony and seeking Stark Industries, he had to get Tony back to health quickly.
But currently doctors at major hospitals say that it will take at least twelve months for Tony to recover.
This world is too long!
Pepper had no choice but to put his hope in finding other methods - such as the "human body enhancement potion" that the Osborne Group has been researching
