In the following period, Meng Ran and the others didn't see Harry again, but there was still plenty of news about him in the newspapers.
First came the news of Norman Osborn's death, followed by Harry holding a funeral for his father.
Then, using the central key and shares left to him by Norman to control the Osborn Group, Harry quickly stabilized the situation within a few days.
Although the Osborn Group's stock price had been falling due to recent events, the impact wasn't huge, and the losses weren't irreversible.
Harry's years of study and practice finally paid off. After an initial period of adjustment, he became increasingly adept, managing the Osborn Group in an orderly fashion.
In the Pentastar Alliance base, Meng Ran and the others were engaged in combat training.
With the demise of the Crocodile Gang, the crime rate in New York was decreasing. Besides the incidents involving Doctor Lizard and the Green Goblin, nothing major had happened.
Therefore, the members of the Pentastar Alliance had been relatively free recently, not very busy, and were using this time to improve themselves.
In the training room, Gwen and Peter were sparring, attacking each other to hone their fighting skills.
On a vacant patch of floor, Meng Ran was instructing Mary Jane on combat techniques. Although Mary Jane was a logistics and technical staff member, having self-defense skills was always a plus, and more was always better.
Just as everyone was training, Little White's voice announced over the intercom: "An unidentified flying object is approaching the base! Please prepare immediately!"
Meng Ran and the others immediately stopped what they were doing, exited the training room, and went to the main entrance.
The secret base was located in a relatively remote suburb. The exterior was a two-story house, suitable for living. An elevator behind a closet led directly underground, where the real base was located.
Meng Ran and the others took the closet elevator up to the house. They went to the door, looking expectantly outside.
At this moment, there was only one person who could possibly be coming: Harry. Meng Ran had left a card with Harry when he left Harry's house.
This card could be used for a one-time guidance activity and would self-destruct afterward. Meng Ran had left it with Harry, hoping Harry would come looking for them later.
The group looked outside and saw a dark green figure flying towards the base from a distance. It was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the house.
Harry's current appearance was very different from Norman's Green Goblin attire. The Green Goblin's outfit looked eerie and creepy, and combined with his nervous behavior, he looked like a perverted devil.
Now, Harry was wearing a dark green, armor-like combat suit, with a special mask on his face. The eye area was a red goggle, and below the goggle was a ferocious devil's mouth, carved with ferocious fangs.
He was standing on a very nimble and lightweight flying device. It looked like a skateboard, but was much cooler.
His outfit not only looked very handsome, but the ferocious mask and powerful combat suit also gave him a strong deterrent effect.
Harry stopped on the lawn in front of the house, and then the flying device under his feet split in half and began to fold, wrapping around his feet and turning into a pair of technologically advanced and aesthetically pleasing boots.
Harry walked to the door, and before he could knock, the door opened by itself. Then, he walked straight in.
It wasn't until Harry walked in that he saw Meng Ran and the other two standing in the living room, looking at him somewhat awkwardly. It was as if Harry was the owner of the room, and they were uneasy guests.
Meng Ran and the others watched Harry walk in, their expressions tense. They hadn't seen him in quite a while.
Although they were worried about Harry, they hadn't visited him.
They didn't know what Harry thought of them, or how their relationship would be from now on.
Harry looked at them, removed his mask, and smiled. "It's been a long time. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Meng Ran looked at Harry's smiling face and, along with Peter, rushed forward and hugged him tightly.
Harry's smiling face gradually trembled, and his eyes couldn't help but sting, tears flowing down his cheeks.
He knew the unease and inner turmoil his friends had been experiencing. He had already resolved his own issues after learning the truth.
But too many things had happened since then, and he hadn't had a chance to see his friends, until today.
Meng Ran and Peter held Harry tightly, their eyes also red. Mary Jane and Gwen were wiping away tears nearby. This kind of thing was truly agonizing, no matter for them or for Harry.
After everyone had calmed down, Meng Ran and the others sat down on the sofa in the living room with Harry.
Harry didn't wait for Meng Ran to speak first, and proactively said, "I also know the truth about my father's matters. Actually, everything started with the genetic disease of our Osborn family."
"Genetic disease?" Meng Ran and the others asked with some doubt.
Harry then continued, "This disease is very complex and difficult to deal with. My grandfather didn't have time to tell my father about this before he died, so my father only began to research it after he started the illness himself."
"My father spent his entire life solving this problem, and he finally made a major breakthrough recently."
"But because there was no test subject, my father could only take the risk himself."
"The final result was that the reagent cured his body, but it tore apart his spirit, causing him to develop another, insane personality."
"This mad persona suppressed his normal mental state, leaving him sane for only a short period each day."
"As time went on, even that normal time became shorter. Eventually, he used those sane moments to perfect the reagent for me, freeing me from this hereditary disease."
"Then…"
Harry then told them about his own changes and what had happened during this time.
Together, they listened to the whole story of the Green Goblin, and how Harry had been outwitting the people at the Osborn Group.
It was, to put it bluntly, fortunate that the Green Goblin had blown up most of his opponents with a bomb. Otherwise, Harry would have had no room to maneuver, and would have been completely controlled by those people.
Meng Ran listened to Harry's account, and looked at the armor on him, asking, "So, your current armor is…"
Hearing Meng Ran's question, the others also turned to Harry, clearly wanting to know the answer to that question as well.
Hearing Meng Ran's question, Harry's eyes became resolute. He spoke clearly, "I've thought it through. The mistakes my father made can't be undone. He's dead now, so I will bear the burden of his sins."
"Since I have this incredible power, I will use it to help others. This is the only thing I can do to atone for my father's actions."
"I've done my best to compensate those injured and the families affected by the explosion. I know it can't heal their pain, but it's all I can do."
After saying this, Harry looked at each of them in turn, then said firmly, "I want to join you."
Meng Ran and the others stared at Harry, realizing he wasn't joking. Meng Ran spoke, "Harry, are you sure about this?"
"This isn't a game. We're really fighting criminals and unknown dangers."
"Joining us means facing danger, facing death. Both our enemies and ourselves could be killed. Have you really thought this through?"
Harry, hearing this, became even more determined and nodded, saying, "I've thought it through!"
Hearing Harry's answer, Meng Ran and the others stood up as well.
"Then welcome, new friend, to our path of pursuing justice," Meng Ran said to Harry.
Harry nodded in agreement.
Then, along with Harry, they took the elevator from the closet down to the secret base.
They then entered Harry into the information database, so he could come and go freely.
"Cheers!" At the table in the underground secret base, Meng Ran and the other four raised their drinks in a toast, celebrating Harry's joining.
Everyone drank it all down, and then Meng Ran announced loudly, "So, from today on, we have one more member, Green Goblin-Harry!"
"Our Pentastar Alliance is officially renamed the Pentastar Alliance!"
Gwen laughed. "Perfect timing! We can just make the Pentastar Alliance's symbol. We haven't done the four-pointed star yet."
Peter immediately volunteered, "I'll design the symbol!"
Mary Jane rolled her eyes hearing Peter and said helplessly, "Come on, Peter, are you going to use a dinosaur as the symbol?"
"Gwen and I will handle the symbol."
Peter seemed to remember something and scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
Seeing Peter's awkwardness, everyone burst into laughter, and the base was filled with happy energy.
