"Mr. Stark," Petra cleared her throat, "I want to go to Osborne—"

Uh-oh!

Tony choked on a Coke.

"What? You want to change jobs?!" He was shocked, "Is it because I didn't pay enough salary or you drifted away??"

Petra: "..."

What happened, she suddenly wanted to take this opportunity to threaten a salary increase?

The three of them had a long discussion outside the Osborne Building last night.

Harley originally intended to use these people to find the base camp of the Hydra remnants and continue to search for clues to the Horcrux.Now that they found out that another matter was involved, they didn't know whether they should take care of it, or whether they had the ability to take care of it.

Although they have "extensive experience" of fighting Death Eaters and even Voldemort himself several times, they still know how much luck is involved in it. Hydra and other unknown big bosses have no way to start, so they simply leave the decision to the local one.

Petra's first reaction was to notify Strange, but on second thought, Doctor Strange seems to be in charge of magical events, so why not report to Iron Man?

But how to tell him is another problem.

Now there are only a few of their eyewitness testimony, and they don’t even know who and how the Hydra and the Osborne Group colluded together, let alone what ulterior conspiracy they are up to.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to find a way to sneak into Osborn's interior first, and then find the evidence.

"Coincidentally, I have a friend who lives here." Petra looked at the flashing neon lights on the roof of the building, and said suddenly.

Ron just took a sip of water and sprayed.

"Seriously? You have a friend who lives in a place like this?" He raised his voice, his eyes widened, "Oh my God, you have a friend who is so rich and still works as an assistant to a super rich man, how dare you talk to me Said you were just an ordinary high school student—”

Phew, traitor!

He took a bitter bite of the late-night hamburger he had brought out from the fast food restaurant.

Damn, I really want to be rich too.

"Students from your school?" Harry was very receptive, thinking that he had met a noble boy who was supposed to go to Eton at Hogwarts, so he was very calm and operated normally.

"It was before, but he was sent to study in England by his dad in high school." Petra said with some nostalgia, "I didn't have many friends at school. After he went abroad..."

Harry: "Afterwards?"

"There is no contact." Petra remained expressionless, "Men are all like this."

"……Too."

"Hello!" Ron protested.

"Anyway, we have to find a way to get in." Harry coughed lightly, and brought the topic back, "Since you know the Osborne family, you should have been here before, right?"

"Well, but now it's different from that time." Petra explained, "Last year, Osborne seems to have launched a new research and development plan. For the sake of confidentiality, the security system has been updated once, and employees are not allowed to go outside. Even if I knew Mr. Osborne... I don't think he would let me in casually."

"That's troublesome." Harry frowned slightly.

Ron reminded: "We can sneak in with the invisibility cloak."

"It's okay. But the electromagnetic field here is too strong, which interferes a lot with the magic power, and we are not familiar with high-tech products. If an alarm is triggered..."

"That's right." Ron nodded half-understanding, "The Muggles are too powerful now, right? They can't even handle magic."

"Let me think about it, the Osborne Group's focus is on biotechnology and medical care, and it has signed contracts with many universities. Wait a minute, I remember—" Petra tapped her temple with her index finger, trying to recall , "By the way, our school has a tour in early March."

Zhongcheng Middle School has always performed well in science and technology competitions for high school students, and is valued by many large companies. They send invitations to outstanding students and sometimes offer generous scholarships.

Petra suddenly remembered that she had seen this notice in the school mailbox, glanced at it, and found that it was restricted to graduates, so she ignored it.

"If there is any way to get the invitation letter, you can sneak into the company..."

"—I want to visit Osbourne." Petra finished in one breath.

Tony made a false alarm, relaxed, and felt a little funny: "What is this? Why, you are also very interested in creatures?"

"Well, but I'm only a freshman in high school, and it's unlikely that I'll get mixed into the visiting team."

"Right." Tony agreed.

Petra's face is absolutely impossible to pretend to be a graduate, that is to say, junior high school students will have a lot of letters.She was a little frustrated, but she thought that the gentleman in front of her was omnipotent, so she immediately raised her head and looked at Tony eagerly: "Is there any way to..."

Who can refuse such a look?

Tony touched his lower lip, making a deep look.Knowing that the other party was waiting anxiously, he didn't try to show off, so he said, "Well, it's simple."

"Really?"

"Osborn, right?" Tony snapped his fingers. "Pepper said something in his email. Their genetic technology department intends to seek us to invest and cooperate. I think I agreed?"

"Investment?" Petra said blankly, "It shouldn't have anything to do with me... right?"

Although Tony is often absent from various important occasions and may not appear in person when signing a contract, even if he is looking for a client, it is impossible to find an intern, right?

"Yes, I haven't decided yet. If they want to attract investment, they must introduce their products well, right?" Tony gave her a meaningful look, "Don't worry, their boss is still on a business trip overseas. This business must be in the charge of an assistant or someone from the department. Let them take you in to have a look, if you can't even pass this level, you won't be able to get into Stark's eyes, right?"

"……Amazing!"

He raised his chin, showed a slightly smug smile, and accepted the compliment without humility: "That is. Who am I?"

With the help of Stark Industries, Petra successfully got the invitation to visit.

As she expected, the management of Osborne House was very strict.Several security guards guarded the door, staring coldly at every employee and foreign guest entering and leaving.You have to go through two security checks to enter the door to ensure that you are not carrying any dangerous goods before entering.

Petra followed the team of senior students, and heard the tinkling sound of their watches and earrings being detected by metal substances, and the eyes of the few security guards immediately swept over.Several big boys were at a loss looking at their wrists, and the tall girl next to Petra simply tore off the earrings: "Do you want to check directly?"

The nearest man in a black suit took a look at it, nodded politely, and returned it to her.At this time, the woman at the front desk came over and explained with a smile on her face, and took them to the lobby to gather.

"Please wait."

A group of students looked around, and before waiting too long, they saw the opposite elevator open. Two men and one woman, both wearing Osborne employee uniforms, were walking towards them.

Two of them looked very young, about the same age as them, and they should also be interns. The badges were marked with different patterns from the others.

The girl holding the document is called Rose. She opened the list and checked all the visiting students who signed in. After confirming that it was correct, she handed the document to the older one of her colleagues. She is an old employee with certain qualifications, but obviously not What a technician.

"Mr. Jones, a total of 25 people have arrived."

This Jones should be the person in charge today.He led everyone into the elevator. While waiting, he picked out a few interesting topics in a very sophisticated and approachable manner to attract everyone's attention, and introduced the exhibition area they were about to visit.

The walls of the spacious elevator are translucent. During the ascent, they can intermittently see some research departments that can be made public. The core part is shrouded in mysterious blue light, making it difficult to see clearly.

Ross issued everyone a temporary general pass, which was about the same length as their badges, but hung around their necks in a card case, and the logo was slightly different.Putting on the general pass, Petra looked down at the "Stark" on her chest. She couldn't help feeling amused, and remembered the scene of visiting the science and technology museum when she was in elementary school.

After ascending to the fifteenth floor, the elevator stopped. Led by Jones, the students filed out and were shocked by the sight in front of them.

In the terrifyingly huge laboratory, there are hundreds of glass boxes containing amphibians of various sizes and types, and there is a display board next to each of them, with information such as the species name.

Several students rushed up to take a look, their eyes lit up, and they were amazed, and some fans had already called out their names.Jones smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Have you all guessed it right? - Unfortunately, it is not completely correct. To be precise, they are not the existing biological species on the earth. Some are very common, while others are On the basis of endangered species, the products of other biological genes are fused."

Petra did not rush forward, but first observed the surrounding environment.Her move was not abrupt. Many people would find that there were originally two laboratories here, but after they were connected, a U-shaped space was formed, where the genetic products of reptiles and amphibians were preserved respectively.

The students walked and watched, and soon dispersed.Petra followed Ross, who was in charge of the explanation, at first, but gradually fell behind and was attracted by a golden python spitting out a message.

This glass box is larger than the others, half the height of a person, and some simple plant decorations have been added.The boa constrictor curled up beside the cobblestone, seemed to hear the movement outside, raised its head slightly, turned around, straightened up slowly, and met Petra's gaze.

It lazily glanced at it and then lay back down, still facing the outside, as if looking at the passport on Petra's chest, and seemed to be asleep.

"Do you like snakes?" someone asked next to him.

"It doesn't count. It looks pretty." Petra said, looking up subconsciously to find the person she was talking to, "It just looks a little bigger——"

Facing a pair of gentle blue eyes, she was taken aback for a moment, and forgot the words in the middle of the sentence.

The Osborne intern in front of her was a full head taller than her, but she didn't show much aggression, and the distance was kept within a safe range.Petra couldn't take her eyes off for a moment.

Blonde hair, handsome three-dimensional facial features, seems to be a little familiar.But she couldn't remember whether she had seen it, and she thought hard for a long time, but to no avail.

"You think it's too big for its normal size, don't you?"

Petra realized that she had been looking at it for too long, so she quickly lowered her eyes to avoid her gaze, and replied, "I don't quite understand why such changes are made. It doesn't help much to improve the survival rate in the wild."

After a pause, she raised her head again and looked at him curiously.

"My name is Gwen, Mr. Osborn's assistant." The man smiled and introduced himself, "Norman Osborn asked me to receive Stark's distinguished guests. What's the name? Hmm..."

He looked at Petra's badge and hesitated for a moment: "Miss Stark?"
