After confirming the feasibility of the perfect lizard serum with Dr. Connors, Peter didn't delay for a moment.
He immediately had the doctor produce seven more finished serums—he planned to arrange extraordinary powers for Uncle Ben, Aunt May, George, Harry, Felicia, and others all at once.
Holding the freshly made super serums, Peter headed straight for the CEO's office.
When he pushed the door open and entered, Peter was surprised to find Norman in the office as well, currently scolding Harry for failing to see the hidden traps in a business contract.
Clearly, Norman was steadily pushing forward the plan for Oscorp's rebirth from the ashes, having already taken the opportunity to be kicked out of the company by the board of Directors.
"Uncle Norman, please go easy on him. He just had his 19th birthday, after all. You have to give him time to slowly adapt to the change in status."
Hearing Peter's words, the father and son instinctively looked up.
Norman's expression instantly cleared up, and he greeted Peter with a warm attitude.
Meanwhile, Harry winked frantically to signal that Peter had done a great job, then deliberately acted surprised as he spoke:
"Peter, you're finally here! You have no idea how popular our unicorn generation 1 is right now!"
"Nowadays, any of my classmates who doesn't have a unicorn generation 1 can't even hold their head up in their social circle!"
"It's been less than half a month since the release, and our sales have already exceeded two billion US dollars! This money-making efficiency is even more exaggerated than when we were trading Stark stocks!"
Peter smiled as he listened to Harry report the unicorn's revenue, but he didn't feel much of a ripple in his heart.
This was a case of pure technical and design dominance; success was only natural.
After briefly mentioning to Harry that they could prepare to push the design and development of the unicorn generation 2, and discussing with Norman the amount of capital needed to acquire Oscorp's profitable projects, Peter finally brought up today's main topic:
"Harry, do you want to become a superhero?"
"Huh?!" Harry, who was drinking water, almost sprayed it all over his old man's face.
"What the hell? Why are you suddenly mentioning this? What, are you planning to enter the biotech field like my dad too?"
Old Norman, standing nearby, also gave Peter a somewhat surprised look.
Weren't you just asking us to help keep it a secret? Why the sudden self-exposure of your identity?
"Times have changed," Peter explained to Norman.
"You should have heard by now, right? Through the Brooklyn incident last night, I have now become the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director."
Harry:???
"Buddy, what President? What S.H.I.E.L.D.? Halloween is over, isn't it? And April Fool's is still several months away!"
Seeing his confused expression, Peter spent a little time explaining the whole story to Harry, and then mentioned the concept of the "Eye of Twilight."
During the process, Harry's expression changed several times, and finally, he couldn't help but rush forward and put Peter in a headlock:
"Damn! You're The Punisher, such a badass thing, and you waited until now to tell me! Do you even consider me a brother?"
"And you, Dad! You already knew about this and actually kept it from your own son? You didn't even tell me that you are the Green Goblin!"
Although he was complaining, a flame called desire had already ignited in his eyes.
What young man doesn't long to be a superhero?
Especially a rich second-generation kid like Harry, who naturally loved excitement and adventure.
"So, I just need one shot to gain power as strong as Gwen's?" Harry shook the serum in his hand, already starting to think about which part of his body to inject for the fastest results.
Norman, on the side, couldn't help but frown:
"Peter, you know, Harry's body..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Norman. Have you forgotten my abilities? No matter what abnormality Harry develops, as long as I'm here, I can bring him back."
Only after hearing this did Norman feel completely at ease, allowing Harry to inject the lizard serum into his body.
With the assistance of Peter's horse talisman, Harry's "mutation process" ended quickly.
"Holy shit! Is this the joy of you superhumans? I feel like I can go to the San Fernando Valley right now and find ten BBWs to battle until..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he received a slap to the back of the head from Norman.
I've been wise and formidable all my life, so how did I father such a creature?
When others get superpowers, they think about fighting crime, but your first reaction is to battle BBWs? And you even want ten at once!
Even your old man wouldn't dare think like that!
Peter observed in the office for a while and found that no lizard-like physical traits appeared on Harry, which finally confirmed his theory.
Dr. Connors could become a perfect Lizardman because he himself was chosen by the lizard totem.
As for Harry, perhaps the lizard totem simply didn't think much of him.
Or perhaps the neutralizing effect provided by Peter's own blood was too strong, making it impossible for the lizard totem to lock onto Harry.
This was for the best. Although lizard scales and claws were quite powerful, he estimated that neither Harry nor Felicia would like that ugly lizard form.
Having confirmed that Dr. Connors was just an extreme individual case, Peter left the CEO's office.
When he came, he had originally intended to give the Symbiote suit to Harry as well.
But seeing Harry's state of being so happy he couldn't find his way, Peter was truly afraid that if the Symbiote amplified his personality traits, it would cause Harry to lose himself due to this sudden powerful strength and turn into the Little Green Goblin from the comics.
Even if he didn't turn into the Little Green Goblin, Peter felt he had to consider the BBWs in the San Fernando Valley.
Young people who have just gained power can be reckless with their strength; he was really afraid Harry would cause a fatality... the big sisters already work very hard filming movies, so let's let them live a few more years... Having settled things on Harry's side, Peter went non-stop to the third basement level of Parker Tech.
This was the temporary headquarters of the "Fist of Shadow."
Sandman William, Rhino Aleksei, "Shocker" Herman, and the future "Quake" Skye had been waiting here for a long time.
"Boss!"
Seeing Peter enter, the four of them immediately stood up.
Skye's movements were a beat slower; she was initially thinking, "Who is this handsome guy?" until she heard the others call Peter "Boss," and then it suddenly clicked.
Her already watery, large eyes instantly widened.
Oh my god~ The Punisher is actually so young, and so handsome.
She had been spending every day with William, Herman, and Aleksei—these eyesores—and thought The Punisher likely looked just as regrettable as they did.
Because her expectations were so low, the sense of contrast she felt upon seeing Peter's true face was even more exaggerated.
Peter ignored Skye, who kept stealing glances at him while infatuated, and instead looked at Herman and Aaron Davis, speaking up:
"There's been new progress in Dr. Connors' lizard serum project, so I'm prepared to grant this power to you. Consider it an onboarding benefit for joining the Fist of Shadow."
Hearing this, Herman and Aaron instinctively looked at each other, both seeing a flash of excitement in the other's eyes.
Not only did they get room and board plus a high salary, but now they were even being given extraordinary powers—where else could they find such a divine boss outside of Parker Tech!
