Chapter 32 Vultures and Robots
night.
Osborne Manor.
Peter, Aunt May and Uncle Ben got out of the car and looked at the luxurious manor in front of them.
All three were dressed in dinner suits, and Uncle Ben even donned his own black tuxedo.
"I thought you guys weren't interested in such socializing, Uncle Ben."
Peter closed the car door and said to Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
In the morning, he told the two of them that Norman Osborn had invited him to be his guest.
His original intention was not to have any connection with a villain like Norman Osborn.
Although he told Uncle Ben and the other two, he expected that they would not be interested in the invitation.
"You've made a friend, Peter, and it's your friend's family who invited us, so we can't say no."
Aunt May said with a smile.
"It has no impact on the relationship between Harry and me."
Peter took the wine prepared by Uncle Ben from the car and said to Aunt May, "Aunt May, you have your own lifestyle and preferences. I don't want you to change them just to accommodate me."
Although he didn't spend much time with Uncle Ben and Aunt May, he was not a cold-blooded person.
Of course he could feel the love and care the two of them had for him, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"No, you're wrong, Peter."
Uncle Ben winked at him and said, "The reason we accepted the invitation is that I think Harry is a good boy."
Several people entered the manor while talking.
After Harry received a call from Peter, he came out and welcomed them in.
Entering the living room, Norman Osborn, who had been waiting there, came to greet him. After a few polite words, the two sides started dinner.
"Harry told me that he and Peter are like brothers, and I'm glad he has such a friend."
Norman had a faint smile on his face. He was not as aggressive as he was on TV. Instead, he gave people a feeling that he was very easy to get along with.
"Peter, if you need anything, just come to me. I will do my best to help you if I can."
"Cough cough."
Harry, who was sitting next to Norman, pretended to be unhappy, "Dad, I am your biological son."
Norman was very cooperative and said, "Yeah, but Harry, you don't look like you need much help. Don't you always say that you can handle things on your own?"
"Maybe I can be a master in some fields, but I haven't discovered it yet. It's not a very important thing. But I know Peter. Peter will definitely be a master in the field of science in the future."
Hearing what Harry said, Norman turned his admiring eyes to Peter and said, "That's great. In addition to being a businessman, I am also a scientist. We can discuss this together."
"Yes, I've read your paper on the application of nanotechnology and new chemicals to the human body."
Seeing that Aunt May and Uncle Ben were both looking at him, Peter could only deal with them casually in order not to be exposed.
These are the memories left behind by his previous incarnation. Since traveling to this world, the scientific knowledge he has learned is pitifully little.
"Peter, maybe you can come to Oscorp for an internship in the future."
Norman put down his knife and made a promise to Peter.
"Thanks, I'll consider it."
Facing the other party's burning gaze, Peter responded.
"Buzz!"
As several people were talking, a slight electronic operating sound was heard in the room.
A humanoid robot covered in a plastic shell slowly walked towards the group, carrying a tray.
The robot is about two meters tall, light gray in color, and its movements are smooth and without lag.
"What do you think of the robot developed by Osborne Industries? Doesn't it look cool?"
Harry stood up, took the plate from the robot, and showed it off proudly to Peter.
Looking at the robot in front of him, Peter fell silent. Is Osborn Group planning to steal business from Stark?
Research mecha?
How many shots can this robot withstand from the future Iron Man?
"Isn't Oscorp's main focus on chemistry and biology? Why is it researching robots?"
Peter asked Harry.
"actually"
Norman Osborn stood up, operated something on his mobile phone, and the robot turned and left.
He explained to Peter: "This is just a household robot. It does not have any intelligence. Rather than being a robot, it is more like an appliance in a shell. It can be said to be the same product as a sweeping robot."
As he spoke, he looked towards Harry, "I told you, Harry, mind your manners at dinner."
Harry knew that his father was very unhappy with him for taking the initiative to show the robot.
So he shrugged and said, "Sorry, I won't do that next time."
After the robot episode, dinner continued.
Two hours later, dinner ended in a good atmosphere and the Parker family left.
Norman Osborn stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room, watching the car driven by Uncle Ben disappear at the gate of the manor, his expression becoming solemn.
The next day, early in the morning.
Osborne Industries, Inc.
Outside the laboratory, there was a harsh noise.
"It's you, it's all you. It's you who asked me to bring the magnetic air transport system to Osborn!"
A bald white man angrily accused an experimental scientist in a white coat.
"You arranged a meeting between me and Norman Osborn, and he studied it carefully, then plagiarized my idea and shut me out."
The bald man angrily grabbed the other person's clothes and lifted him up.
"I'm very sorry."
"No need to apologize, Doctor."
Norman Osborn suddenly appeared in the corridor, followed by several fierce bodyguards.
He said coldly to the scientist whose clothes were grabbed: "Osborn Enterprises does not need to apologize."
When the bald man saw Osborn coming out, he immediately pointed the finger at him, "Don't need to apologize? Osborn, you plagiarized my technology!"
Norman walked towards him, his expression no longer as gentle as last night, "Your remarks are dangerous, Mr. Toomes, both dangerous and intolerable."
"what?"
"You have been researching in this field for several years and still have achieved nothing. You didn't produce any research results when you were young. Who would believe that you would invent an air transport system when you are old?"
Looking at Norman's face, Toomes gritted his teeth and said, "You are a complete bastard!"
"I may be an asshole, but I funded you. Without Osborn, you would not have been able to develop this flight system, so Osborn should enjoy the results you mentioned."
Toomes grabbed Norman by the clothes and yelled at him, "Very well, you think I'm going to let this go?"
"You're not a threat to me, actually."
Norman waved his hand, and several bodyguards came over and pried open the hand that Toomes was holding on Norman.
"You take Mr. Toomes out."
Norman gave orders to his men.
The bodyguards quickly took the unwilling Toombs out of Oscorp.
Watching Toomes's back as he left, Norman straightened his clothes which were a little wrinkled due to being caught, and walked towards the laboratory with a serious expression.
Thanks to "An Xiaokang" for the reward, love you!
