Chapter 51 - 51

Ron… are you saying this is truly a completely successful limb regeneration serum?"

Norman Osborn stared excitedly at the green serum in his hand, completely ignoring Ron and his 'Guardians Alliance' plan.

All he could think about was how to use the limb regeneration serum to make money and expand Oscorp.

Ron wasn't surprised by Norman's reaction.

Norman was a businessman, and a businessman only saw profit.

After seeing a miraculous drug like the regeneration serum, how could he remember the Guardians Alliance plan Ron had just told him about?

"Mr. Norman, trust me, my knowledge isn't any less than Curt Connors', and besides, the effect of this regeneration serum is at most only one-fifth of what Connors researched.

It's not powerful, which is why it succeeded."

Ron, suppressing his impatience, stopped himself from using his psychic abilities to forcefully modify Norman's memory and patiently explained it to Norman again.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use his psychic abilities, but that he didn't want powerful abilities to influence him.

Ron had discovered that ever since he had transformed into the universe, he had begun to become emotionless, losing interest in everything, making him gradually become devoid of emotion and desire.

Although he hadn't truly reached that point yet, Ron already felt the crisis of losing his emotions.

To prevent himself from becoming like that, Ron had decided to try and use fewer abilities related to modifying other people's memories in the future, and only use abilities similar to telekinesis.

Although his telekinesis hadn't reached the level of a mutant Omega-level Black Phoenix, it was definitely an Alpha-level existence, which was enough for him to establish himself in this world.

After listening to Ron's explanation, Norman thought for a while about how to develop the regeneration serum plan, and then he spoke.

"Ron, if your regeneration serum is real, then with it, I can definitely build Oscorp into the most powerful biotechnology company on Earth."

"Also, Ron, I agree to your plan.

I will give you three percent of Oscorp's shares, and I will fully support your Guardians Alliance.

If your Guardians Alliance can really produce a superhero like Captain America, whom all of America knows, then my Oscorp will also gain a lot of prestige and countless benefits!"

"Thank you, Mr. Norman.

Believe me, you will gain a lot of benefits from this plan of mine."

Ron smiled, feeling a slight sense of accomplishment that Norman had agreed to his request.

After all, this wasn't something he had achieved through psychic abilities, but truly through persuasion.

Perhaps, he really had the potential to become one of the four great talkers in American comics?

Ron smiled, thinking that it might not be impossible...

After leaving Norman Osborn's office, Ron went to the Oscorp Industrial building's surveillance room to check the surveillance footage from the day Curt Connors disappeared.

Ron had already obtained high-level access to Oscorp from Norman Osborn, so entering the surveillance to check the footage was effortless.

Opening the surveillance footage from that day, Ron slowly searched and found Curt Connors' figure.

The footage showed that Curt Connors had left Oscorp in a hurry around two in the afternoon, clutching his clothes tightly with his left hand, as if he was carrying something precious, and then disappeared.

At this moment, Ron's phone rang.

It was Peter Parker.

Ron answered the phone, called Peter into the surveillance room, and showed him the surveillance footage.

After watching the video and combining it with the time the incident occurred, Peter finally confirmed that Dr. Curt Connors was the lizard monster.

"What should we do, Ron?

Where do we find Dr. Connors to help him return to normal?"

Peter's expression was a bit heavy.

Dr. Curt Connors had always been kind to him, his intern assistant, and he could tell that Dr. Connors was not a bad person.

So how could he have turned into a lizard monster?

"Since he's already turned into a lizard monster, he definitely can't stay in the human world.

Maybe he'll go to some darker places…"

Ron shrugged, pretending to be unaware, and deliberately reminded Peter.

"You're right, Ron, you're so smart."

Peter brightened up.

He packed his things, put on his backpack, and started to leave.

"Ron, there's an underground pipeline system right below us.

Let's go check if Dr. Connors is in there."

"Underground pipeline?"

Ron's expression turned a bit grim.

"Peter, let's be clear, I'm not going into any underground pipelines.

As the leader of the Guardians Alliance, these rough tasks aren't suitable for me!"

"…" Peter was speechless.

He knew that Ron's talk about being a superhero was just talk; his real purpose was probably just for fun… Peter sighed, feeling a bit tired: "Fine, I know you're the boss.

Alright, you wait outside then, I'll go in alone, okay?"

"Okay."

Ron smiled.

Such a mischievous thing was indeed quite amusing.

Of course, he wasn't really bothered by the dirty underground tunnels; he just wanted to make the little spider feel a bit frustrated.

Having a boss like him was not an easy task!

Leaving Oscorp with Peter, Peter found a secluded manhole cover, shot a web to lift it, then took off his jacket, revealing his red and blue, web-patterned spider suit underneath.

"Alright, Boss Ron, I'm going down to check.

You just wait up here for me to come back!"

Peter slung his backpack, containing his clothes and other belongings, over his shoulder, and after a helpless remark, he jumped directly down the manhole.

"Be quick!"

Watching Peter jump into the manhole, Ron smiled and waved goodbye to Peter.

Then Ron waited in place, but after a while, Ron looked in another direction.

"Help… help…"

Because the area was secluded, there weren't many people there, and a crime was currently taking place in the direction Ron was looking.

Two large black men were openly harassing a blonde, sexy woman, seemingly intending to assault her on the spot!

The two black men were tall and burly, at least 1.9 meters tall, with bulging muscles, while the blonde woman being harassed was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, wearing a halter top, looking very sexy.

However, at this moment, she was flustered by the two black men, flailing her arms and legs, her face full of panic.

Watching this crime unfold, Ron, however, put his hands in his pockets and stood idly by, observing.

Ron even wanted to conjure a bag of popcorn or a slice of watermelon to add some scene-appropriate food to this good show, acting as a qualified bystander.

"Help… help…" The blonde woman being harassed was very flustered.

She called out loudly, and seeing Ron nearby, she also looked at him, her eyes pleading, wanting Ron to help her.

Unfortunately, after a while, the blonde woman didn't wait for Ron to act.

She cursed under her breath, then used her legs to deliver two powerful roundhouse kicks, hitting the two black men below the waist with surprising force, knocking them out with a single move.

Then, the blonde woman placed both hands on her pockets, which contained guns, and looked at Ron in the distance, treating him like a super boss, extremely cautious.
