Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts
Chapter 50 Norman is about to die soon
"Internship at Osborne Group?"
Facing Gwen's surprised look, Lucas nodded calmly, "Yeah."
Norman's matter and Harry's strange reaction made Lucas very concerned. Now that Wilson's matter was resolved, it was time to investigate Norman.
"Did you go ask Harry for help?" Gwen asked.
"Of course not." Lucas said speechlessly. After all, he is also a top student. He did it entirely by his own ability.
"Hey, I've been with you for so long that I almost forgot this." Gwen said embarrassedly. Every time there was a school-wide exam, either Lucas or Peter came first. Neither of them usually knew how to do it. Talking about the content of studies and exams, because there is no need to worry at all, over time, Gwen has no sense of reality.
Lucas was chatting with Gwen when he saw Peter walking over with an unnatural expression.
"Peter, here!" Gwen greeted him.
"Hi." Peter sat next to Lucas.
"What's wrong?" Lucas asked.
"I... was interviewed by a reporter..." Peter said with a complicated expression.
"reporter?"
"Ah..." Peter scratched his head in confusion, "They talked to me about the Phantom Thieves and asked about Thompson. I was very nervous at the time and always felt like I had exposed something..."
"Wilson's case has been making a lot of noise recently, so it's not surprising that someone would find this place." Lucas said, he looked at Peter, "Where is the reporter from?"
"She calls herself Lane, and she's from Metropolis," Peter said.
"Metropolis..." Lucas murmured, a little dazed.
"What's wrong Lucas?"
"Nothing." Lucas continued, "What else did they ask?"
"Just...what do you think about the Phantom Thieves, and what do you think about the quarrels on the Internet." Peter was a little discouraged when he mentioned this, "We are obviously doing good things, but not everyone thinks so."
"I thought you had already adapted to this." Lucas raised his eyebrows, "You know, the Daily Bugle."
"...Please, don't mention this." Peter said weakly, thinking of JJJ, the owner of the Daily Bugle, Spider-Man's number one black fan, who has been instilling the idea that Spider-Man is a scourge for New York citizens since he appeared.
"I even thought about going to the Daily Bugle as an intern." Peter sighed, "I better forget it now."
"Speaking of internships, we were just talking about Lucas going to Osborne for an internship."
"Huh?" Peter's eyes widened in surprise, "Lucas, are you short of money recently?"
Money in other worlds is the same as in reality, so the Phantom Thieves' funds are very sufficient. The only thing they need to worry about is that large amounts of money will attract unnecessary attention.
Lucas shook his head, "I just want to solve some questions in my mind."
"I'm also worried about Harry's condition. He hasn't come to school for a long time. Calling him only leaves a message." Gwen said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I just went to Osborne Tower to take a look, and Harry is sitting in the office." Peter said.
After being unable to contact Harry, Peter went to confirm Harry's safety himself. Thanks to his mutant ability, he could climb tall buildings that reach into the sky.
"If Harry is really fine, why didn't he contact us for so long?" Gwen had a different view.
"If there is a chance, I will try to contact him." Lucas promised.
"Alas..." Peter said tangledly, "Or I might just use the identity of Spider-Man to find Harry."
Lucas was speechless: "Are you saying that you were wearing that uniform and lying on Harry's office window to greet him? Even if Harry recognized you, it's impossible that there wouldn't be cameras in the office."
It's not that Lucas doesn't trust Harry, it's that he doesn't trust Norman.
He brought the topic back again, "By the way, what was the reporter's final reaction?"
"Oh... I think there's something wrong with their eyes, especially Reporter Ryan's. They stared at me all over." Peter said, "But recently, Reporter Ryan still left without saying anything."
……
"Oh, let's go, let's go."
After finishing her conversation with Peter, Louise closed her notes in frustration.
"Ah?" Jimmy said with a confused look, "But aren't we here to find the true identity of the Phantom Thieves? Are we just going back?"
Clark looked away at Peter and asked, "Do you think that kid is a member of the Phantom Thieves?"
Superman's clairvoyant eyes could easily see Peter's strong body under his clothes, as well as his densely packed nerves that were beyond human beings.
In terms of physical fitness, the child has far exceeded the physical fitness that a normal human should have.
This was inconsistent with the mysterious Phantom Thieves they had guessed before.
"Even if he isn't, then he must know about the Phantom Thieves." Louise said.
"Huh? Why don't you ask clearly?" Jimmy asked.
"Do you think Parker will tell the truth to me?" Louise said helplessly, looking down at her notebook, "What's more, I don't think there is a big age difference between the Phantom Thieves and Parker. , that is to say, the Phantom Thieves are most likely a group of minors.”
"Not...underage?"
"It makes sense." Clark nodded. He was not a master at reading micro-expressions, but he could still clearly see the unnatural tightening and trembling of muscles.
There was no doubt that Peter was nervous when the topic of the Phantom Thieves was brought up.
Louise sighed again, "In this case, my interest in exploring the truth will be completely gone."
It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on me.
"Are you really not going to continue the investigation?"
"I won't continue. I have a very professional ethics."
Even if it is a juvenile delinquent, his face cannot be clearly shown when it is published in the newspaper. The children are too young and they still have a chance to repent.
The same goes for the Phantom Thieves. They may be a group of passionate minors with abilities that most people cannot understand. If she really revealed their identities to the public, it would be hard for Louise to imagine what would happen to these children. So, forget it.
"Then we came to New York for nothing this time."
"You can't find breaking news just by looking for it. Don't worry, I'll go talk to White."
"I have nothing to worry about. Just don't get angry at Kate's weirdness."
"Huh? When have I ever been angry because of her!"
Lois and Jimmy were noisy as always, and Clark looked back at Midtown Middle School. He also remembered that the students in this middle school might have kryptonite in their hands.
Clark's personality is quite optimistic. He has not felt the presence of kryptonite again these days. Maybe the child did not recognize that he was carrying a piece of kryptonite and no longer carries it with him.
To put it bluntly, although wearing kryptonite for a long time will indeed have adverse effects, this long time is measured in ten years, and there is no problem if you wear it for a few months.
There shouldn't be any problems... Clark thought optimistically, following Louise and Jimmy and leaving Midtown Middle School.
He already began to miss the sunny city of tomorrow.
The next day, Lucas came downstairs to the Osborne Group and looked at this high-tech building.
Lucas' eyes were calm. This was not the first time he came here. The last time he came here, he and Peter and the others watched the technology exhibition.
"My name is Lucas Easton, and I'm here for an internship." Lucas came to the front desk.
The receptionist at the front desk clicked on the computer a few times and showed a friendly smile, "Easton, right? I have your information here."
Then he put a sign on the front desk and pushed it towards Lucas, "This is your work badge, remember to take it with you."
Lucas picked it up and looked at it. It said it was a work badge, but it was actually more like a card, except that it had his name and photo on it.
"Dr. Connors' laboratory is on the fifteenth floor. If you enter the elevator, remember to swipe your badge." The front desk reminded, "Don't press for floors above the fifteenth floor. Your badge does not have this authority."
"I understand." Lucas nodded and put away his badge.
This is also expected, the intern's authority will not be too high, but... Lucas's eyes were dark, he ducked into the bathroom, opened the Different World APP, and entered the name of Norman Osborne.
[Discover the palace reaction. ]
"Sure enough..." The reflection of the phone reflected in those cold blue eyes.
After confirming the fact that Norman owns the palace, all Lucas has to do is to investigate as much as possible the evil things Norman has done. After all, Norman is Harry's father, and he needs to convince his companions.
Putting away his phone, Lucas headed to the fifteenth floor as if nothing had happened. His arrival did not cause any ripples. In the circle of high school students, Lucas can definitely be said to be a genius, but this is the biological experiment of the Osborne Group. In the room, only the big guys in the industry can make these scientists with countless achievements treat them differently.
Here, Lucas also met the one-armed legend in the industry-Kurt Connors. Connors carved his own position in academia at a young age. He was good at studying genetic sequences, starting from experiments. Judging from the equipment and specifications of the room, Norman also attaches great importance to it.
The only flaw for such a proud man is that he lost an arm, which has always been a concern for Connors.
The requirements of the laboratory are not difficult for Lucas, but he is only here to collect information and is not really here to make a difference, so he has kept a low profile.
Lucas was very lucky. On his first day, he saw a man in a suit with a sad face entering the laboratory and walking straight to Connors' desk.
Everyone in the laboratory was performing their duties and did not pay special attention to the two of them, and they did not enter the office to talk.
Thanks to the skills he had trained in the hall, Lucas moved closer to Connors silently and finally heard the conversation between the two.
"...We received the results of the genetic information sequence this morning, which is very disappointing." Connors said in a low voice.
The man looked at Connors calmly and said, "Be more specific."
"Another dead end, it's a problem with the decline rate algorithm." Connors shook his head, "The result is expected."
"As expected?" The man said with a stern face, "You said you were close to success."
"It's close, but it still takes time."
"But he doesn't have time." The man's tone gradually became unkind, "Norman Osborne is in critical condition. You have to save him, otherwise our lives will not be saved."
Norman is sick and dying? !
This unexpected information shocked Lucas. It was difficult for Lucas to decide whether to deal with the palace of a dying person.
He carefully moved away from Connors' vicinity, making sure that neither man would notice that he had overheard their conversation.
It's just that Lucas was a little absent-minded about the next experiment. If Norman was not going to die soon, it would make sense that Harry couldn't come to school. Once Norman died, Harry would have to inherit the huge group. Not everyone could Someone as talented as Tim.
After thinking about it, Lucas decided to wait and see. Even though he knew Norman's current situation, he couldn't say he was quitting on the first day of his internship. This was the internship qualification of the Osborne Group. If he did this It's so eye-catching that I have to finish it at least for a month.
[Lucas: I know why Harry doesn't come to school.
Parker: Why?
Stacey: Why?
McCready: Why?
Parker:?
Parker: You don't know Harry?
McCready: I'm just curious.
Stacey: Okay, Lucas, tell us.
Lucas: Norman is dying. ]
For a full minute after Lucas' message was sent out, the group was silent.
[McCready: Huh? ]
Mindy's news broke the mood.
[Parker:! ! !
Parker: Impossible?
Parker: Norman is so young!
Stacey: Yes, Harry's dad was pretty good when we last met.
Stacey: Why are you dying all of a sudden?
Lucas: It is said that he has some genetic disease.
Lucas: The lab has been studying the sequence of his genetic information.
Parker: Genetic disease...
Parker: As I recall, there is no precedent for being cured.
Lucas: That's right.
Gwen: Wait.
Gwen: If it's a hereditary disease, wouldn't Harry...
Parker:! ! !
Parker: No!
Lucas: Harry is fine for now.
Peter: I'll just say it.
Lucas: But...]
Lucas thought of the information he had gleaned, and his fingers stayed on the keyboard.
[Lucas: But every Osborn died of a genetic disease.
Macready: Ah... Then sooner or later, the young master will have such a day.
Lucas: ...Yeah.
Peter: So, Norman has been looking for a cure.
Gwen: Harry, does he...know?
Lucas: I haven't seen Harry, but I think we should maybe give him a little time. ]
