Green Goblin simply did not believe in so-called win-win cooperation; how could just starting a random company lead to win-win cooperation with Osborn Industries?
There's no such easy thing in the world; if it were, everyone would be rich.
However, he didn't mind supporting that so-called company Hawking started for the sake of his own life, as it was just a matter of spending some money.
But if it involved deeper cooperation, he would be unwilling.
He had two major bottom lines: one was Osborn Industries, which he had poured decades of effort into, and the other was his son, Harry.
If the other party wanted to use this method to erode his Osborn Industries, he would definitely be unwilling, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he used the board of directors as a shield.
After all, this was also a fact; cooperation between companies naturally required the approval of the board of directors.
"The board of directors? Mr. Norman, you don't need to overthink it; I have no other intentions and no interest in your Osborn Industries.
How about this, to show my sincerity in cooperation, I'll give you a piece of intelligence for free here."
Hawking, fully aware of Green Goblin's concerns, immediately laughed:
"You might not know, but those directors on your board have already secretly formed an alliance; they plan to remove you from your chairman position and then jointly sell your entire Osborn Industries to Exploration Aerospace Industry."
"Impossible, how could they do that? The company was built by me; do they know how much I sacrificed for it?
When my wife, Emily, died in the hospital, I couldn't even make it to see her one last time because of company matters! You must be lying to me!"
Upon hearing Hawking's words, Green Goblin instantly lost control of his emotions and stood up from the sofa.
"Whether I'm lying to you or not, you can check for yourself; I believe with your current abilities, you should be able to find out easily."
Hawking sat on the sofa and shrugged.
Before becoming Green Goblin, Norman's intelligence was primarily used for scientific research and creation; most of Osborn Industries' inventions came from his hand, and he personally handled many matters, which led to his current achievements.
Unfortunately, because he was too engrossed in his research, the company's power was hollowed out by the board of directors.
A typical case of a scientist being outplayed by capitalists.
However, Green Goblin, after awakening his evil personality, truly maximized his intelligence, becoming a qualified scientist, a qualified capitalist, and a schemer.
"Alright, if it's really as you say, then I will deal with them and cooperate well with you."
The calmed Green Goblin sat back on the sofa; at this point, he had largely believed the intelligence provided by Hawking.
Because he felt that with Hawking's strength, there seemed to be no need to lie to him, and recalling the actions of those directors during this period, they were indeed somewhat abnormal.
"Then let's wish for pleasant cooperation ahead!"
Hawking extended his right hand; Green Goblin paused for a moment, then also extended his right hand.
"Happy cooperation!"
"By the way, cooperation is cooperation, but I hope that if any murders happen in New York these days, no one sees you wearing that suit at the scene.
Sometimes, it's perfectly fine to be a bit low-key when doing bad things!"
Finally, Hawking left a meaningful remark, changed his clothes into a golden Armor Hero suit, and rode his kinto'un away from the Villa.
"So it was him!"
Looking at Hawking's iconic golden Armor Hero suit, Green Goblin immediately realized that he was the famous Armor Hero from this period.
"It seems this one isn't as righteous as everyone imagines.
That's good too; perhaps we really can cooperate well and do something big together!"
After knowing Hawking's identity, he actually became interested in the upcoming cooperation with Hawking.
Especially the meaningful words Hawking left when he departed.
The subtext was clear: he could kill those directors, and the other party wouldn't interfere, as long as he didn't expose his identity.
How could such a person be a truly righteous Superheroes?
"I hope this guy is smart enough."
On the way back to Mutant School on his kinto'un, Hawking thought to himself.
If Green Goblin didn't pull any tricks, then Osborn Industries, as a cooperative enterprise of his Hero Alliance, would naturally rise and become a company on par with Stark Industries, which was not impossible.
If Green Goblin was foolish enough to still try to pull tricks in the current situation, then he shouldn't blame Hawking for being ruthless.
It's important to know that if he wanted to, there was more than just Osborn Industries that he could cooperate with; there were many companies of similar strength in New York.
Halfway back, the Goku template time ended, and he rode his motorcycle again.
8 PM.
Hawking left his room as usual and went to the second-floor common lounge to find Wanda, who was watching TV, to go to the combat simulation room to cultivate.
"Armor Hero is so cool! I want to get an armor too in the future, a silver one, and then shuttle through the city like lightning to help those in need!"
As soon as he reached the living room, he heard his younger brother Pietro's voice, full of admiration.
It turned out that the little ones were watching the news, and the content reported in the news was some videos of him and Peter fighting criminals in Hell's Kitchen over the past two days.
"Good taste."
Hearing his younger brother admire him so much, Hawking stood at the doorway and couldn't help but nod to himself.
"Hmph, I think Spider-Man is cooler, biubiubiu, he can shoot webs to tie up those bad guys."
At this moment, another Mutant student expressed his disagreement, feeling unconvinced.
Others also had their own opinions; some liked Armor Hero, some liked Spider-Man, and of course, some were not interested in either.
Just as he was about to call out to Wanda, a sentence suddenly made him stop in his tracks.
"What Armor Hero, Spider-Man, they're so tacky, their outfits are tacky to death, their names are tacky to death, they're nothing special at all!"
The one speaking was none other than his beloved younger sister, Wanda.
"That stings, my dear sister!"
Hawking's face was instantly filled with embarrassment; his outfit, which he thought was quite cool, turned out to be so tacky in his sister's eyes, which was indeed a bit sad.
"Wanda, what did you say?"
Those students were clearly very displeased with Wanda speaking about their idols in such a way.
Wanda, with a look of disdain, raised her right hand, revealing her red Chaos Magic:
"What, do you want to fight? Alright, one by one, or all at once!"
Seeing this, everyone immediately shut their mouths; they were no match for Wanda, who could use all sorts of strange magic, so they all looked at Pietro.
Pietro, however, shrugged, looking helpless; although he was the older brother, he was only older by twelve minutes and couldn't control his sister Wanda, and Wanda also had Hawking backing her up.
"Hmph, no Armor Hero or Spider-Man is even one-tenth as cool as my brother Hawking!"
Wanda, seeing this, smugly withdrew her hand.
And Hawking, who had just turned around, ready to pause his cultivation for a day, turned back with a smile again:
"Wanda, let's go, it's time for us to cultivate!"
Seeing through the phenomenon to the essence, worthy of being my sister.
"Okay, Hawking, I'm coming."
As soon as Hawking appeared, Wanda, who had just been acting like a big sister, immediately turned into a sweet and adorable little sister, leaving the other students wide-eyed and exclaiming how quickly girls could change their expressions.
