Chapter 117 Osborn's Visit

"Tony, Mr. Osborne is here."

Little Pepper came out of the elevator with the document in his arms, followed by a tall and thin middle-aged man.

The man seemed to be walking in a vain manner, his face was sallow, his temples were gray, his complexion was not good, only a pair of eyes were particularly bright.

"Mr. Stark, no, look at my memory, I should call him Iron Man." Norman Osborn walked over with a hearty smile, but he didn't shake hands with Tony.

Most of the upper-class circles knew that Mustache didn't like to accept things from other people's hands, and of course shaking hands was not acceptable.

"Norman Osborn! What brought you here."

Tony turned off the experimental projection unhurriedly, turned around, and expressed his welcome with an exaggerated tone.

He and Norman Osborn have known each other for a long time. Osborne Industries is different from the former Stark Industries that focused on the military industry. They are blooming everywhere, but the main focus is on biotechnology, energy, new materials, and cutting-edge weapons. There are also good achievements in other aspects.

For now, the entire New York power network is designed and built by Osborn Industries, which shows that it is strong, and it is only a line behind Stark Industries.

"It's not easy to see you as a busy person. The appointments are all scheduled for next year." Norman Osborn said, looking at Pepper beside him.

"Thanks to Miss Bozi's help, I was able to jump in."

"This is all my job, Mr. Osborne, you talk, I'm busy."

Pepper nodded politely to Norman Osborn. She is no longer Tony's personal assistant, but the chief operating officer of Stark Industries. To work, to share Tony's work pressure.

Mustache had no cure for palladium poisoning, and originally wanted Pepper to be the CEO directly, but because of the help of Wrights, Pepper did not reach the sky in one step. ceo prepares.

The woman left, leaving the two men staring at each other.

"Oh, I heard that there is a new superhero team in New York that is very popular recently. It's called the 'Big Seven'."

This topic was extremely blunt, but as old Norman was a senior, Tony didn't want to embarrass him, so he could only open his mouth to answer.

"It's the seven actors launched by Walter Company. I don't know where to find such a few guys. It's just a second-rate team."

With Jarvis' network ability, Tony can get more inside information, but he doesn't have to tell Norman Osborn.

"Oh... that's what I heard too."

The empty response was embarrassing, but Norman Osborn opened his mouth several times before he could speak, and finally sighed, as if he had something to say.

"Mr. Osborne, you are looking for me at this time because of the new technology."

Tony is very sure that the other party is here for the Extremis virus, and there is no need to guess the purpose.

After all, the first and second have never been too difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to have a chance to overlap.

At such a time, it is impossible to come to the door simply by rushing through the door.

"Oh... I saw it from you..."

Norman Osborn sighed deeply, looking desolate and lonely.

Tony saw the prelude and knew that the old Norman was going to play the emotional card, so he quickly waved his hand to stop the other party's behavior.

"Mr. Osborne, we still have something to discuss. If it is for nanotechnology components, sorry, Stark Industries does not need a partner."

Ever since the low-profile version of the Extremis virus was repackaged and released, those Wall Street investors frantically waved their dollars to get a piece of the pie, but they were all turned away by Pepper.

That is to say, Stark Industries is rich and powerful, and its capital is extremely strong, otherwise the ordinary top [-] in the world will be swallowed alive by these vampires in different ways.

Tony thought that Norman Osborn also had this plan, so he was not polite.

Hearing this, Norman Osborn stopped being coy and said straight to the point.

"Mr. Stark, I think you can also see that my physical condition is not ideal. I came today to ask you whether your new technology can treat 'retroviral proliferation'."

"Retroviruses? Infectious diseases?"

Tony raised his brows, but he didn't act rudely. Norman Osborn has come into contact with countless people over the years, but no one has seen anyone suffering from some kind of disease.

"It started with a family elder contracting a virus in London in the sixteenth century..."

"...London in the sixteenth century, you are talking about the Black Death!"

"That's right... But because of the unknown influence of the virus, the elder's own cell replication process went wrong and caused reverse transcription, and it has become not a virus but a genetic defect..."

Tony frowned.

"Although I'm not very good at biological genes, I know a thing or two. I've never heard of such a situation."

At that time, I don’t know how many people died of the plague. If the Black Death had such symptoms, it is impossible that only Norman Osborn’s family became like this.

"Actually, our family has a history of Huntington's disease." Norman Osborn grinned bitterly.

After a slight silence, Tony asked.

"I remember you had a child."

"Yes, I was 34, Harry could only have been earlier."

The pathogenic mechanism of Huntington's disease is that there is a CAG tandem repeat sequence in the coding region of the gene, and the number of repeats in patients is much more than that of normal people. The age of onset is progressively earlier.

That's why Norman Osborn vigorously promoted biological gene-related technologies while he was alive, hoping to cure the family disease before Harry became ill.

"I don't want Harry to go step by step towards death and despair at the beginning of his brilliant life."

A terminally ill father hopes to give his son hope to live. With such a mentality, it is no wonder that Norman Osborn used the unfinished version of the spider serum a few years later, which led to his sudden sudden death. He recalled his son to inherit the family business and passed away. .

This topic is a bit heavy, and it is a secret that the Osborne family has kept from others for hundreds of years. Tony didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Fortunately, Norman Osborn still remembered the purpose of this trip.

"Let's go back to the original topic, can you check my genes for me, I want to know if your new technology has any effect on our family's genetic disease?"

"No problem, Mr Osborne."

Mustache nodded. If the Extremis virus is effective, then this matter will be a piece of cake for him, but for Norman Osborn, it will be a timely help, a life-saving grace, a little help can make Osborne Industry owe The next big favor, such a good thing doesn't happen every year.

"Thank you very much, please call me by my first name directly."

Norman Osborn was a little excited. Although he could wait until Stark's product was officially released and let his company's laboratory test it, who could know his work better than the creator? His chances of surviving have gone awry due to problems in his life.

"Norman, I need a sample of your blood."

The bohemian Tony Stark would not be too polite in terms of etiquette. After he obtained a blood sample from Norman Os himself, he asked Jarvis to analyze the results.

A virtual projection was played in front of the two of them.

Seeing Tony staring at the projection for a long time, Norman Osborn relaxed his brows, and asked anxiously and worriedly.

"How about it, Tony? Do you think I still have a chance?"
