It wasn't a bluff to the Green Goblin; Shen He truly wasn't worried about Chaldea being exposed to the public.
Because the aliens were coming soon.
Seemingly realizing that Shen He didn't care about his life or death at all, the Green Goblin started to panic.
"I can give you Osborn Company," the Green Goblin said, offering his greatest asset, "With Osborn Company, you can easily open up the market in the medical field, and Osborn's biological sciences are unique, as long as you spare my life."
This was indeed a considerable temptation for Shen He; after all, money made things easy in this country.
However, Shen He wasn't a fool. This wasn't the internet, where a company worth billions of dollars could simply be yours with a signed contract.
Even with an acquisition, it would require complex share transfer procedures, especially since both sides were publicly listed companies. It would involve the interests of ordinary shareholders, requiring the disclosure of asset transfers and acceptance of third-party government supervision. If the acquisition amount differed too much from the actual valuation, it might even lead to an investigation by intelligence agencies.
And if he let the Green Goblin go today, he could be sure to hear news of Norman's death tomorrow.
Faking his death, handing over the shares to his heir, and then hiding away himself—a perfect solution.
"You're nothing more than Norman Osborn's amplified negative emotions."
Shen He glanced at the terrified Dr. Connors on the other side, a decision already made in his heart.
"Shiki, kill him."
"No—! You can't do this!"
Green Goblin suddenly struggled. Jeanne's iron-shod boots increased the pressure, even cracking the ground slightly.
"It will be over soon, there won't be any pain."
Jeanne's gentle voice made the Green Goblin struggle even harder.
Suddenly, two small bomb launchers popped out from the back of Osborn's wheelchair – this was the Green Goblin's hidden killer move.
But—
Along with a flash of the blade, a crisp sound rang out, and the entire wheelchair was instantly dismembered.
Ryougi Shiki's katana had already been unsheathed,
and she walked over here with small, delicate steps.
"Jeanne, move your foot a bit." Ryougi Shiki used her katana to gesture at the Green Goblin, "This position is better for the blade."
Some of the more timid researchers couldn't help but cover their eyes, and Dr. Connors was scared out of his wits. He had never been exposed to such a world. His boss, a billionaire, was actually a green-skinned monster, and was about to be casually killed in front of his eyes by another billionaire?
The Green Goblin seemed to sense his impending death, and his struggling grew more intense.
Just looking at the cracks spreading across the ground, one could see how much strength the Green Goblin-ified Norman possessed. But it was nothing more than a dying struggle. His vaunted intelligence was utterly useless; Shen He didn't even bother to listen to anything he said.
Plop—
The sound of a blade entering flesh. Ryougi Shiki's longsword had finally pierced him.
Then, she pulled it out, but there was no gushing blood.
The green color on the Green Goblin, pinned under Jeanne's iron boot, faded at a visible rate, returning to a normal skin tone. Not only that, but Norman Osborn's previously pale face gained a hint of color, even looking a decade younger than when he had arrived.
Jeanne moved her iron boot.
But Norman Osborn just lay on the ground, staring blankly at his own hands, completely disbelieving.
"Incredible, how could this happen..."
Since being tormented by the genetic disease, he had never felt such inner peace.
A female researcher beside him suddenly rushed over, her hands constantly moving over Norman, checking him.
"No knife wounds, not even a tear in his clothes, and his body has recovered a lot compared to just now, how did you do it? This is incredible! Mr. Osborn, can I take a sample of your blood for examination? Your performance just now is very likely due to the temporary transformation of genes stimulating the amygdala at the base of the brain, which in turn affects the appearance of the skin..."
"Simmons, come back." Dr. Helen Zhao quickly pulled Simmons back.
Simmons... Shen He looked at the female researcher thoughtfully, the genius biology researcher from the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent series, was it?
"As you can see, Mr. Osborn, we killed the Green Goblin."
Shen He bent down and lifted Norman with one hand. After he swayed his body, he stood steadily on the ground.
"I, my son..."
Norman, being a billionaire, finally snapped out of it at this moment. Overjoyed, his first thought was of his son.
Even though he was consumed by the Green Goblin, he still used all his life's efforts to solve the Osborn family's curse.
"Your son is still young, and his condition isn't severe," Shen He said, shaking his head with a smile. "We can't guarantee we can 'kill' his illness without harming him. So, we'll have to wait. Also, you only need to announce he was cured here. We will also monitor you and your son to prevent the possibility of a relapse."
"..."
As the head of such a large company, Norman couldn't fail to understand Shen He's meaning.
His son's condition was leverage, and the monitoring was a warning, but he had no choice.
The problem that had tormented the Osborn family for generations was solved so easily in front of these people. They were simply unfathomable and impossible to resist.
However, this might also be an opportunity for the Osborn family.
"Thank you all very much." Norman quickly changed his demeanor. "Dr. Helen's research is excellent and has cured my serious illness. The Osborn Company is deeply grateful and hopes to establish a partnership with the Virtual Reality Company in the medical field. This will be a blessing for all of humanity."
"Heh, leave the business matters to Tony. I'm not a businessman." Shen He patted Norman on the shoulder and chuckled softly. "Well then, welcome to continue your tour. Dr. Helen, please explain your research results to the guests. This is a collaboration that will benefit all of humanity. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."
After leaving those words, Shen He casually left with Jeanne and Ryougi Shiki, without even waiting for Norman to respond.
It seemed as though they had only come to kill the Green Goblin.
No… Norman stared at Shen He's departing back, recalling the entire event. It was as if he had taken the initiative to seek them out, and then they had conveniently taken care of this hidden threat.
"Mr. Osborn?" Dr. Helen Zhao's voice interrupted Norman's thoughts.
"Oh, Dr. Zhao." Norman Osborn plastered a smile on his face and turned to beckon Dr. Connors, who was ducking under the table. "Curt, come and listen to Dr. Zhao's explanation…"
On the other side, Shen He was also quite pleased.
Tonight, I pretty much bamboozled Norman. It was so easy to take over a cutting-edge biotechnology company closely related to the Spider-Man plot; it was all thanks to the Green Goblin.
