Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 143 Osborn's Laboratory
Watchtower Base... Liaison Officer's Office.

Jack was writing and drawing in his notebook. He carefully wrote a name and erased it immediately...

With the passage of time, the memory of his previous life has begun to blur.

Now that the Quick Response Force has opened, Jack needs to recruit more talents, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find a few suitable candidates.

It's only the beginning of the superhero era, and many superheroes have yet to meet their destiny...

Just as Jack was racking his brains, Raymond pushed the door open.

After the latter entered the office, he took out a bottle of 1989 limited edition brandy from the wine cabinet...

Jack smiled helplessly, and said, "Should I promulgate a new rule that you can't drink alcohol during work?"

Raymond sat down at Jack's desk casually with a wine glass in his hand, and then said:
"Come on, Jack, you should be more lenient with me, an old fellow."

Jack laughed for a while, and then asked in a deep voice:

"How's the situation over there?"

"Through the old relationship, I found a few logistics personnel... They are all veterans, they can solve your financial and self-storage problems... I have signed a non-disclosure agreement!"

Jack rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and said with a wry smile, "Are you a support staff again? I need intelligence officers, information analysts, drivers... Well, I need everyone!"

Facing Jack's complaints, Raymond was unmoved,
"Starting from scratch is a difficult thing. You have to learn to bear the pressure... What were you writing just now?"

Jack held up the white paper, "Some fighters I think are suitable."

"Don't we have enough fighters?" Raymond asked puzzled.

"It's far from enough. We need at least 15 field teams, and a field team needs about 24 combat personnel."

Raymond glanced at the blank paper curiously, and asked in surprise:
"Peter Parker? God, he's only 15 years old, and he's just a brand new high school student... Are you going to recruit a kid into the gang?"

"I want him to train with Frank first, don't underestimate him, he will be an indispensable member of us in the future..."

Raymond "suddenly realized" and said, "Is he a mutant?"

"No, he should be considered a superman. Specifically, he was bitten by a mutant spider and then possessed superpowers." Jack explained a little.

Raymond shrugged and said, "The world is changing so fast. Now, even being bitten by a spider can give you superpowers? Should I go out more, maybe I can have superpowers too!"

While the two were talking, Captain America pushed the door open... This legend also went straight to the wine cabinet!

Jack held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "I will issue a prohibition order today! My wine cabinet is almost empty by you!"

Captain America raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You should be more lenient with the old guy."

Jack spread his hands and replied, "I think I'm tolerant enough... Captain, how is your solicitation going?"

The American team put down their wine glasses, "A total of 122 people are willing to join us, including the Sam Wilson you mentioned..."

"122 people? Captain, you have helped me a lot!" Jack cheered.

Captain America smiled humbly, "Actually, I didn't do anything, I just drank something at the Veterans Union. They are willing to join the quick response force more because they love this country deeply."

Jack has long been accustomed to the American team's Versailles,

"Captain, let me take care of the rest... In addition to the previously recruited combat personnel, I plan to build five field teams first, and these people will be handed over to you and Frank for training... But you must move faster, we Not much time."

The captain nodded, "I went out early, how is your chat with the champion team, are they willing to stay?"

Jack shook his head, "The champion team refused to join the combat sequence, but they are willing to stay and serve as instructors. I think this will share a lot of pressure on you and Frank."

"Of course, they are all good players." Captain America replied with a smile.

Afterwards, Jack discussed some trivial matters with Raymond and Captain America... Secretary Natalie pushed the door open,

"Boss, it's time."

Under the watchful eyes of Raymond and Captain America, Jack Shi suddenly stood up,
"I have to go to the Osborn Group, and I will leave the affairs of the base to you!"

……

Norman Osborn's recent days have returned to the previous hard-pressed state,
Most of the recent research of the Osborne Group has been stuck in a bottleneck, and there are only a handful of finished technologies that can be delivered... After the Broadway incident, the military also divested the super soldier serum project.

Such a result caused investors to lose confidence, and Norman once again faced the pressure of the board of directors.

This time, he thought of Jack Murdoch again.

Osborne House, in Norman's office,
Jack leisurely lit the cigar that Norman handed over, took a deep breath, and then said:

"Norman, my friend, I understand your situation, but business is business after all... You want orders from the Quick Response Force, it's not easy, I need something to shut the mouth of the authorities!"

Although he encountered difficulties, Norman was not depressed and decadent. He dressed meticulously and replied with a serious expression,
"Mr. Murdoch, what do you need?"

"Patents for demon glider and pumpkin bombs."

Facing Jack's lion's big mouth, Norman was very calm, and he whispered:
"This is probably the only thing that the Osborne Group can offer... How much can you bid?"

Looking at Norman, who was in a mess, Jack was a little surprised. He thought that his behavior of taking advantage of fire and robbery would arouse Norman's fury, but it was obvious that the other party was an excellent businessman, and he could control his emotions very well.

This realization made Jack hastily change his original decision of wanting to eat everything!
"Norman, can you listen to my advice?"

"Appreciate further details……"

Jack stood up and pulled out a blank sheet of paper from his desk, on which was a list of projects from the Osborne Group:
"Super soldier serum imitation project, human limb regeneration technology, artificial sun project..."

Jack finished talking about the projects currently being executed by the Osborne Group in one breath, and then he changed his tone and continued:
"The Osborne Group has entered too many fields. Maybe every project here has a bright future, but they also have a very difficult current... My suggestion is that the Osborne Group should return to the old business, which is biological Pharmaceutical field!"

Of course, it is impossible for Norman not to see the problems that Jack can see. As the operator of the company, he understands the situation of the Osborne Group better... But Norman has been kidnapped by capital,
In order to obtain funds, Norman had to develop projects that would interest the employer... In order for these projects to bear fruit, Norman needed a lot of funds...

It's just a vicious circle.

Seeing Norman's always calm face showing embarrassment, Jack also understands that it is easy to talk about it on paper, but difficult in practice.

So he didn't continue talking, but changed a promise that Norman was interested in:
"Quick Reaction Force will take over from the military to fund the Super Soldier Serum Project, and I'll personally inject $5000 million into it... Also, I assure you that the Quick Reaction Force will only use the Demon Glider and the Pumpkin Bomb for its own use, It will never be sold...so, these two weapons will still be the patent of the Osborne Group."

Norman rubbed his hands. He didn't expect Jack to say such a generous condition, but he still asked cautiously:

"What do I need to pay?"

Jack smiled: "I don't need anything."

Norman stood up with a disbelieving expression: "Mr. Murdoch, isn't this a joke?"

"I'm not kidding, Norman.

The Osborne Group is of little value to me, I am more interested in you...Norman Osborne. "

Norman was quite moved by Jack's words, he stood up,
"Jack, you will always be Osborn's friend."

"Of course, I will cherish this identity."

Having dealt with him a few times, Jack has seen that Norman is an old-school entrepreneur who attaches great importance to family honor. Although he is not a good person, he is not bad either.
It's just the impermanence of fate, the genetic defects of the Osborne family and the pressure of capital that turned Norman into a super villain Green Goblin.

After all, Norman is proud and arrogant. He can't say those flattering words of thanks, but he must express his gratitude:

"Jack, do you have any other arrangements today? I want to invite you to visit Osborne Manor..."

Jack shrugged and replied with a smile:

"To be honest, I'm in a mess right now, but no one would refuse Osborne's personal invitation."

Jack's appropriate compliment brought Norman a rare smile,

"I'll ask the secretary to take you to the laboratory to have a look. There are some gadgets in Osborne's laboratory. Maybe you will be interested."

Jack nodded in agreement, knowing that Norman wanted to set aside time to arrange the dinner.

Following Norman Osborn's mediocre secretary, Jack once again walked into the underground laboratory of the Osborn Group...

"Mr. Murdoch, where do you want to start the tour?" asked the secretary.

"How about the super spider project, I just saw this on the list, I'm interested in spiders."

The secretary showed embarrassment on his face, "Mr. Murdoch, since the accidental crash of Dr. Richard, the super spider project has come to a standstill. Currently, there are only four super spiders left to be cultivated. The chairman is looking for someone to take over."

Jack had a rough idea in mind. When he came to the Osborne Lab for the first time, Norman hid this project... and now he released it openly. It seems that he has given up using the super spider project to complete the Osborne family. plans for genetic diseases.

It's a sin to say the least.

Norman has always had high hopes for the Richards, hoping that their research can save the Osborne family,
For some reason, Richard used his own genes to breed super spiders, which resulted in a result that super spiders are only useful to the Parker family...

In the end, Richard and his wife crashed in a plane, and the super spider project bid farewell...

In this way, Norman became taken advantage of, and contributed money and efforts, and the final results were all cheaper than Peter Parker, a silly boy!
Jack always believed that Richard was suspected of defrauding the project funds.

In the end, the secretary took Jack to see the super spider,
Of course they only saw three super spiders...the other one was already slapped to death by Peter after biting Peter Parker!
Of course Jack would not tell the laboratory this information, so the administrator responsible for raising the super spider was out of luck.

Looking at the remaining three super spiders, Jack had some malicious assumptions. If these spiders are only useful to the Parker family, then take out one and bite Ben Parker, will there be two Spidermen in this world?
Such an operation is very tempting, after all, Ben Parker is a good man... A good man is easy to be manipulated!

Not to mention the chaos in the super spider laboratory, the secretary took Jack to the super soldier serum project laboratory again,

The project was led by Norman himself...

As it turned out, only this project was of any value.

After Ross injected Bronski with the serum, he really showed fighting power beyond ordinary people!

But this imitation serum still failed to solve the psychological problems caused by the first version of the super soldier serum created by Dr. Erkins...

That is to say, the problem of "the good ones are better, and the evil ones are worse".

Looking at the blue liquid in the test tube, Jack was greatly moved,
In a world like this, who wouldn't want to be a superhuman?

But in the end Jack still restrained the desire in his heart, he had no confidence in himself,

Jack is not a good person, and he doesn't want to be affected by the medicine!
Just as Jack continued to visit, the door of the laboratory opened...Norman walked in with a piece of armor,
"Jack, have you found anything of interest?"

Jack politely replied:

"This is an eye-opener for me..."

Norman smiled shyly. It is impossible for him not to know what his laboratory is.
However, he immediately put the armor in his hand on the experimental table, and introduced:

"This is my previous research product, Adaptive Rescue Armor, it can withstand the firepower of assault rifles or small bombs... After wearing it, your strength can reach 1.5 tons, and the Osborn Group's self-healing armor is also placed in the armor Potion, it will be automatically injected when the user takes major damage..."

After Norman's introduction, Jack stroked the "Green Goblin Armor" and asked puzzledly:
"This product sounds great, why wasn't it launched as a product?"

Norman explained: "It's really expensive! It costs about 1200 million dollars to make one, and the military can't afford such a product..."

Jack suddenly realized that there was a huge gap between the Green Goblin armor and the steel armor...

If steel armor can decide the outcome of a local war, then the Green Goblin armor can only save your own life...

The cost of Mark 3 is about 2-3 million US dollars,
The cost performance is hundreds of times higher!
Seeing that Jack already understood the value of the Green Goblin Armor, Norman said:

"Jack, friend of Osborn, this armor is a gift from me!"

Jack immediately waved his hand and said politely:
"This is too precious!"

"Not as precious as our friendship! Well, Jack, we shouldn't be courting each other...We're going home now, and Harry's waiting for us at home."

To be honest, Jack had no resistance to these technological equipment, and seeing Norman's insistence, he accepted the gift along the way.
