Marvel's Speedster

Norman Osborn moved very quickly. After confirming the authenticity of the experimental data, he quickly contacted Ross. After several negotiations, the two parties reached a transaction intention. Due to the current cash flow shortage of Osborn Industry, Ross and Connors will be given two Certain company shares, the excess or deficiency will be settled in cash after the new drug is launched.

This transaction temporarily stopped Osborn's downturn. Later, Harry's father formally accepted the media interview and made the following conclusions:

"The products developed by Dr. Connors and Mr. Byrne are a perfect match for Osborn's strength enhancement program and we look forward to integrating both technologies into Osborn's latest products."

Fisherman had a lot of discussions about this, and many media focused their attention on the two developers. The backgrounds of Dr. and Ross were soon discovered, because they themselves or their relatives had Osborn industry backgrounds, especially the latter's age. Young is somewhat unbelievable, and some people think that this is a business hype orchestrated by Osborn, a public relations crisis, while others cite the example of young scientists, such as Victor Dum and Reed Richards, using their success stories to defend Ross, a gifted high school student.

The outside discussion also affected the campus. People who knew what Ross was like in the past were shocked. For a while, this already well-known high school student became a local hero, surrounded by curious peers every day.

But no matter how the outside world changes, time will never stop for them. Soon after, the young people's high school life comes to an end, and the graduation ceremony begins.

On this day, the sky was blue and bright, without a trace of cloud. The sun shone on the lawn, and the neatly arranged tables and chairs on it were scorched. However, despite the slightly higher temperature, no one complained. Although the graduation day is not a particularly important festival, no one will ignore the necessary procedures because the protagonists are still young. After all, birthdays happen every year, and the graduation ceremony, a person How many times can there be in your life?

"Say Chess----", the teacher who played the guest photographer shouted loudly, and the young man in front of the camera shouted along with his gestures.

"Chess!"

Amidst the joyous laughter, numerous mathematician hats were thrown into the sky.

"I love you Ross!" Taking advantage of the chaotic scene, Mary Jane turned around and threw herself into Ross's arms and shouted. She thought that Ross might not be able to hear the loud voice, but in fact he could hear it clearly, and immediately hugged her waist pain Wen up.

When he raised his head, he found Harry and his son standing in front of them with smiles.

"This is not the first time I've lost sight, but I still want to thank my son for introducing me to a genius." Patting Harry on the shoulder, Norman stretched out his hand and held it tightly with his son's classmate. "Congratulations on winning the Science Award. I hope you will reconsider my proposal. Osborn will be your best choice."

From the beginning of the negotiations, Norman has been showing the intention of soliciting. Needless to say, Connors who once worked for him, the outside world still thinks that the doctor is the main force of research and development. He didn't intend to let it go, and made many direct or indirect invitations, but unfortunately none of them succeeded. Connors wanted to rely on Ross to restore his disabled body, but Ross wanted too much and Osborn couldn't afford it, so in the end the two parties only reached some cooperation intentions.

Even so, Ross did not reject it outright. After the two sides exchanged a few words, Norman turned to comfort another friend of his son--Peter's Uncle Ben was killed by robbers on the side of the road a few days ago. , Since then, I have lived with my aunt.

Ross also has some regrets about this. This Spider-man seems to be born with a lonely fate, which is difficult to change no matter what. He once gave Peter a hint, but little Spider-Man still insisted on going his own way to participate in fighting games in order to buy a car, and finally failed to escape the bad luck of the death of his relatives. If you don’t understand that his stubborn character is the root of the disaster, it seems like It was as if an invisible hand was quietly moving his life forward into the abyss.

"Poor Pete, he works so hard." A girl with a bouquet walked up to Ross. This was Gwen Stacy, the daughter of the local police chief, an alumnus of Midtown High School, and a student at Conners Dr. Mary Jane only recently recognized her in the lab as the head intern.

"It's really pitiful." Having said that, Ross's eyes were only calm and indifferent, and his weak emotions had been away from him for too long, otherwise he would not be able to survive in the cruel environment.

"Life is full of variables, but it does not mean that life is speculation. In many cases, it is not hard work but the correct choice that affects and determines a person's life. The key choices in a person's life may only be a few steps. If you choose success at a critical moment, you will not be happy in your life." There will be too many regrets." His words meant something, and Gwen savored it carefully, before she could figure it out, she saw Mary Jane, who had said goodbye to her friend, leaned over and snuggled up to Ross.

On the fateful day, Mary Jane's alcoholic father was not in attendance. If it was the past, she would not say anything on the surface, but she must be very sad in her heart. Fortunately, with Ross around, she doesn't care about anything anymore.

"Come together, I want to show you a present." Mary Jane winked at him.

Ross understood, he definitely would not refuse, and the two left the lively campus.

Behind them, Gwen and Peter, who was farther away, silently looked at the pair of figures, with a look of loss.

Located in Battery Park, the Ritz Carlton Hotel is the leading luxury hotel in New York. Since its establishment in the 19th century, it has always followed the classic style and has become a must-choice hotel for celebrities and dignitaries. Because of its extreme nobility and luxury, it has always been called "the house of the world", especially its motto "We serve gentlemen and ladies loyally with the attitude of gentlemen and ladies" is passed down as a classic in the industry.

Guests staying here can fully immerse themselves in all the cultural treasures and heritage of lower Manhattan. There are Smithsonian Indy Amber Museum and many other exhibition halls nearby. Standing by the window, you can directly admire the Statue of Liberty near the mouth of the Hudson River Like--it is only 1.8 miles away from the hotel, and this distance seems to be within reach.

Ross is in this hotel at the moment. After the deal with Osborn, he has a lot more money in his hands, and he doesn't have to be harsh on himself in life. It's always good to be nice to himself, not to mention there is a lovely girl next to him .

The two fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, he seems to have returned to the original world.

Clouds engulfed the sky, and dark black smoke columns rose from the vast land. The huge War Machine flickered under the light of the flames. Occasionally, tearing air sounds whizzing by in the distance could be heard. A new battle is breaking out.

This is Ross's home, a dying planet, the Earth of the parallel world.

On this boundless battlefield, he staggered along, not knowing where he was going.

Suddenly there was a roar of thunder, and a flash of light cut through the thick darkness, and several familiar old people appeared in front of him.

"No. 13", the dean of the Academy of Sciences in a white coat read his code name in a low voice.

"Don't forget your mission."

"What task?" Ross asked drowsily, as if some kind of force choked his thinking, making it difficult for him to think.

"Six gems... save our world..."

The old boss of the Military Intelligence Bureau followed him and told him that the old general was covered in blood, but he was still standing upright as before.

"...I really think highly of me. I just made a fortune, and you all want me to buy the whole world." With bitterness in his mouth, he laughed at himself.

Then the dean handed over a gem.

A golden oval gemstone about 4 to 5 inches long with a smooth surface.

"We have given you the most precious gift, you must use it well."

The sound seems far away, like a wisp of light smoke lingering in mid-air.

Invisible's voice urged him to stretch out his hand, and when his fingertips touched the gemstone, it seemed to be triggered by something, the golden halo shrank inward slightly, and then exploded like a hydrogen bomb that would destroy the world Come.

The halo melted into gold, and the huge air wave swallowed him whole. It was like being in a sea of ​​golden flames. He lost the concept of up, down, left, and right, and slowly floated in the air. The surroundings were as silent as the beginning of the universe. open.

In the sea of ​​flames sweeping the world, he watched the golden gemstones turn into light rain and melt into his body little by little.

Then he was woken up...

"Mr. Byrne! Mr. Byrne!" An unfamiliar voice yelled anxiously, accompanied by a shrill siren.

Ross opened his eyes, there is no doomsday world, it's still the same hotel, everything is as usual except for the sweat.

Mary Jane was so tired that she was still sleeping soundly in his arms. Only the waiter in the hotel would call that.

The same is true, a waiter shouted hurriedly from outside the suite, and he was the one who dragged Ross back from that strange dream to reality.

"What's going on?" Ross slapped the girl next to him awake, then stepped on the soft carpet with bare feet in a bathrobe and opened the door.

The waiter originally had an irritable tone, but when he saw the young guest suddenly suffocating, he couldn't help being respectful.

"An accident happened on Liberty Island. It seems that Mutant is making trouble. The police informed us to evacuate the people nearby as soon as possible."

Ross turned his head abruptly, went to the window and opened the curtains, just in time to see a white glow erupting from the head of the Statue of Liberty.
