------------------------------------------------
Riot was originally wondering why Venom, that loser, was so proactive about going out with them to find a host this time. It turns out he was running for his life!
And the key thing was that Venom hadn't told his leader about this!
Now that Venom had left that lunatic alone on their Symbiote Planet, given the extreme infectivity among Symbiotes, that maniac might infect the entire Symbiote Planet with madness!
Riot had originally planned to bring his million Symbiote fellow citizens over to enjoy life once he had settled in.
Now, after hearing Venom's words, he was a bit afraid to go back to the Symbiote Planet!
Because who knows what the situation is like up there now!
Ryan eventually got a headache from their arguing and disgustedly threw Venom back onto Harry, ending the shouting match between Riot and Venom in his mind.
Once Venom re-attached, Harry transformed again from a weak little puppy into a wild young wolf.
At the same time, he felt a lingering fear about his sudden outburst and the sense of weakness from within after losing Venom.
Harry looked to Ryan for help: "Brother, I... what happened to me just now?"
Facing Harry's question, Ryan gave a half-smile and comforted him:
"Haha... it's nothing, just a minor issue. This is a normal phenomenon after a surge in power. Plus, the Symbiote's abilities are powerful, so there are bound to be some side effects, such as getting emotional easily or developing a dependency on the Symbiote."
Harry was dumbfounded:???
"Brother... you say this... this doesn't seem like a minor issue..."
A drastic change in personality and drug dependency—how could these be minor issues?
Ryan shrugged: "But compared to the terminal illness that's killing you, these really are just minor issues, aren't they?"
Harry was a simple kid. After Ryan put it that way and he thought about it, he suddenly felt that Venom's side effects really were minor.
But Harry immediately focused on another point and asked Ryan curiously, "Wait, brother, how do you know about our osborn family's hereditary disease?"
Ryan didn't answer himself but looked at Dr. Connors and said calmly:
"I think Dr. Connors can answer this question better for you. Tell him the truth about the osborn family and Osborn Enterprises, Doctor..."
After Ryan's physical'stripping' of the suit, Harry had calmed down a lot. He also looked at Dr. Connors and requested sincerely, "Please tell me the whole truth, Dr. Connors!"
"Harry, you're not like your father. You're a good kid. I shouldn't have been the one to tell you all this, but..." Dr. Connors sighed inwardly.
"But now it seems I'm the only one who can tell you the truth I know. So, come with me..."
Saying this, Dr. Connors led Harry toward the terrariums in the laboratory. He pointed at the terrariums containing spiders and lizards and asked, "Do you know what these are?"
Harry found them somewhat familiar. He looked closely, and his brain, enhanced by Venom, quickly recalled where he had seen them:
"Those are the lizards you bred for regeneration experiments, and the radioactive Super Spiders Peter's father bred to produce Super Spider silk materials?"
Dr. Connors nodded, and then his tone turned somber:
"Yes, but what you might not know is that their purpose isn't just for regeneration experiments or manufacturing so-called Super Spider silk materials. They were developed with an even more important mission..."
"And that is to cure the genetic hereditary disease of your osborn family!"
"Or rather, every biological research project at Osborn Enterprises carries this mission, but only my project and Richard's project showed Norman the hope of a cure..."
Hearing this, Harry was shocked.
He had only recently been informed about the family hereditary disease by Norman, who was already losing faith.
Before that, he had always thought he just had a simple case of kidney deficiency.
But now, Dr. Connors was saying that his father had tried to compensate for their family's genetic defects using animal genes a long time ago.
"And all of Osborn Enterprises' biological research had this purpose. This was simply unbelievable... "Harry's gaze was complicated: "But both you and Uncle Richard failed, right? So my father still died..."
Dr. Connors shook his head: "No, I failed, but Richard didn't. His Super Spider succeeded, but it was too successful..."
Harry frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I remember Peter's father died in a tragic plane crash not long after I left eight years ago. If he had successfully developed the Super Spider before he died, shouldn't our family's hereditary disease have been solved long ago?"
Dr. Connors patted Harry's shoulder, signaling him not to rush, and then pointed to the spider suit in the display case:
"That's why I said Richard's Super Spider research was too successful—so successful that Norman and the executives of Osborn Enterprises developed even more terrifying intentions beyond just curing Norman's disease."
"Richard's Super Spider could not only cure genetic defects but also grant people unimaginable power, just like Spider-Man..."
"Therefore, the Osborn Board of Directors decided to put the Super Spider into warfare, aiming to create a group of super soldiers who surpass the former Captain America and are enough to conquer the entire World."
At this point, Dr. Connors' tone was not only heavy, but even his expression turned ugly:
"If our research were only used to bring people more happiness and to supplement congenital defects and acquired disabilities, then Richard and I naturally wouldn't have refused. But war..."
"Harry, this isn't what Richard and I wanted to see. So, to prevent humanity from falling into war because of his Super Spider, Richard added his own genetic lock to the Super Spider and then fled Osborn Enterprises with the original formula."
"But Osborn Enterprises naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to become the greatest group in the World so easily, so they sent people to hunt down Richard, wanting to snatch the formula from his hands."
"And the result, as you know, was that during the struggle, the plane crashed, and Richard went down with the formula on that plane..."
After listening, Harry's whole World view was shaken. Despondent and even somewhat panicked, he said:
"So you're saying my father actually wanted to use the Super Spider to profit from war, and he even sent people to kill Peter's parents just to snatch the Super Spider formula?"
"Oh... oh my god, what has my father done? Does Peter know about this? He's my only friend; I can't... I can't lose him too..."
