"Kari, do you want some cake?"
Yagami Kari, holding Tailmon in her arms, stood timidly beside Yang Tao, looking at the people gathered in the Overworld.
"Yes..."
Yang Tao took the cake out of his backpack and placed it on the colorful table he had brought back from Level Fun. These colorful tables were simply perfect for parties.
"Here, I'll cut you a slice. You eat first, Kari. Don't be nervous, they're all big brother's friends... Harry! Harry!"
Harry and Harry from the Spider-Man world both turned to look at Yang Tao.
Then the two looked at each other.
"Harry Potter."
"Harry Osborn."
Harry Osborn looked at Harry Potter, who shared his name, a smile on his face as he walked over, extended his hand, and said, "Harry Potter, it's a pleasure to meet you. And your name sounds good."
Harry Potter was a bit nervous, but he gracefully extended his hand and shook Harry Osborn's: "You too!"
Yang Tao: "..."
He pointed at Harry Potter and waved to him. This time, the two finally knew who Yang Tao was calling.
However, Harry Osborn also walked over curiously.
"Harry, I'm giving you a task. You're responsible for looking after these four little ones."
As he spoke, Yang Tao pointed to Kari, Yuuri, and the three others sitting around the table, as well as Annette Birkin's daughter, Shirley. The four of them were both too young and not yet familiar with everything around them.
So they seemed a bit uneasy.
Harry Potter had a troubled expression on his face and said, "Mr. Yang, I'm still a child. Isn't it a bit too early for me to watch them?"
"You can perform some small magic tricks for them to play with. They're very well-behaved, except for that cat!"
Tailmon heard Yang Tao seemingly talking about it, immediately darted out of Kari's arms, and pounced on Yang Tao: "Yang Tao, you bad guy, I'll fight you!"
But Yang Tao grabbed Tailmon.
He gently scratched its chin, and the instantly enraged Tailmon narrowed its eyes.
"You... don't think... that I'll forgive you like this..."
Yang Tao scratched harder.
Tailmon then went limp.
"Still saying you're not a cat!"
Hearing Yang Tao's words, Tailmon opened its eyes and glared at him, forcefully breaking free from Yang Tao's clutches, and with a light leap, ran back onto the table.
Harry Potter, standing nearby, was not surprised that Tailmon could speak; after all, even paintings could speak in his world.
Instead, Harry Osborn's mouth dropped open in shock: "It can talk?"
"Is it strange for it to talk? There are many more talking things here today!"
Yang Tao put an arm around Harry Osborn's shoulder and said, "Ha... your name is duplicated. You're older, so you'll take the hit. From now on, we'll just call you Green Goblin."
"Huh?"
"You can call me by my last name!"
Yang Tao shook his head with a smile and said, "Calling you by your last name will always make people think of your father. I feel Green Goblin suits you better."
Harry: "..."
"Alright, it's just a codename. You're destined to walk the path of a superhero or a supervillain, so you'll need a nickname."
"Then... why Green Goblin? That doesn't sound like a good person."
What a filial son!
"Because your father's nickname for himself was Green Goblin..."
Harry Osborn: "!!!"
His father didn't die unjustly. Calling him Green Goblin Hero would have been fine, but Green Goblin doesn't sound like a righteous character.
He put his arm around his shoulder and came to the few people who were standing together discussing work. One of them had only one arm and looked very conspicuous in the crowd. At this moment, he was saying with a somewhat flushed face:
"Now we only lack clinical trials. The regeneration experiment on mice has proven that our limb regeneration agent has been successful. I am willing to volunteer myself..."
The adult version of Haibara Ai looked at the somewhat agitated Dr. Connors and said calmly, "Dr. Connors, human trials must be approached with caution..."
"I also agree with Ms. Miyano's view. Experimenting on oneself is not advisable."
Dr. Connors, who was the original Lizard, sighed helplessly and said, "If we don't conduct human trials... our plan will be stuck at this step."
Seeing Yang Tao approach, the three greeted him. Yang Tao nodded slightly and looked at Lizard, saying, "Dr. Connors, are you sure you want to restore your arm, and not purely want to experiment on your own body??"
"How do I feel like you're so keen on experimenting on yourself?"
Dr. Connors showed an awkward expression and said, "I feel it's somewhat unethical to conduct such risky experiments on other people..."
In the original work, Norman Osborn funded Dr. Connors, but because the agent was unstable, he had been slow to conduct human trials.
Oscorp Industries's investment did not yield any returns, which led to his project being directly halted.
Not wanting his life's work to be wasted, Dr. Connors, having no other choice, chose to use himself as a test subject.
The result, naturally, was the birth of the famous Lizard.
Yang Tao released his arm from Harry Osborn's shoulder and gently coaxed Lizard, "You don't have to worry about human trials. Umbrella will naturally send people to the island or the upcoming Antarctic base, and they will be your test subjects then."
The kind-hearted Lizard heard Yang Tao's words and said with some reluctance, "But the experiment..."
Yang Tao shook his head gently and said, "It seems Ms. Annie hasn't told you about the Umbrella Corporation. You just need to know that before, they were the knife and ordinary people were the fish, but now we are the knife and they are the fish."
"We are just using the methods they used on ordinary people, on themselves."
If ten people from Umbrella were pulled out and shot, there might be wrongful convictions, but if nine were shot, there would definitely be some who slipped through the net.
Then he patted Harry Osborn's shoulder next to him and said, "Everyone, don't always think about those lofty things. Those things really don't make money. Let me introduce you to Harry Osborn, who is also the biggest supplier behind your experiments."
"All the materials you need for each experiment are generously sponsored by Oscorp Group, so I feel you should give him some return."
"In the world, only women and children's money is the easiest to earn. After all, wars don't happen every day, and we are not Umbrella, always thinking about destroying the world."
"I think products for scar repair, anti-aging, physical strengthening, and male enhancement should not be a big problem for you."
Annette Birkin, Haibara Ai, and Lizard looked at each other, then nodded and said, "These functions you mentioned can be achieved by simply castrating or weakening them."
Harry Osborn looked at the three and felt that his Oscorp Group was about to take off to a height his father could never reach under his leadership.
"Three, no matter what the request, I will do my utmost to fulfill it..."
