I need power!
Staring blankly at his hands, Li Qingyuan thought angrily.
Indeed, having a "golden finger" and knowing the storyline had made him feel a little overconfident. He thought that no matter what difficulties existed in this world, they would be effortlessly within his grasp.
But when Ward tore off that layer of false mask from his face, he realized that he had no right to look down on others at all.
Hydra.
Or perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D.
This organization, which in the original story could only serve as a backdrop for superheroes or as a training ground for new crossovers, was actually far more formidable than imagined.
With a worldwide intelligence network, hundreds of thousands of operatives, stealth jets, energy weapons, even military satellites and space fortresses, this force's lack of presence was only due to the abundance of other major powers in the Marvel world.
If Hydra or S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strength were transplanted to another parallel universe, they could easily dominate Earth!
"I want to see Mr. Norman Osborn!"
Having understood all this, Li Qingyuan realized he could no longer muddle along. Even if he wanted to retire, he needed the strength to do so!
With strength, retiring meant seeing through life and playing the game of the world. Without strength, it was merely sloth and recklessness.
"Hello, Mr. Osborn is busy with very important matters these days. If you have something to say, you can tell me, and I will pass it on once he's free," said the secretary politely.
This was Osborn's personal number, left only for extremely important contacts, which explained the secretary's courtesy.
"Once he's free, tell him Li, the owner of the antique shop, wants to see him, along with Professor Connors!" Hearing Osborn was busy, Li Qingyuan could only say helplessly.
Having received the Perfect Blood from him, he would surely start injections immediately; it would be hard to meet him in the short term.
He realized he should have contacted him the last time Osborn visited the shop. Now, it seemed impossible.
Apart from Norman Osborn and Professor Connors, who else was left in New York?
Iron Man was ruled out first; he only wanted to increase his strength, not look for death.
Hawkeye and Black Widow were impossible to reach. Even if he risked exposure to contact Garrett, the old man would probably not help.
Doctor Strange? Strange?
That guy was easy to find. As the most renowned neurosurgeon in recent years, he could be found at the hospital.
But with Strange's level, it was as useful as trying to bump into the Ancient One on Brick Street!
After going through his memory multiple times, Li Qingyuan was shocked to realize that apart from young Spider-Man, Peter Parker, he couldn't find anyone else.
"Boss, are you okay?" April asked softly, a bit shaken.
For some reason, ever since that handsome man left, her boss exuded an oppressive aura, making her feel uneasy.
"I'm fine!" Li Qingyuan shook his head, pushing his worries aside. He stood up and started packing.
"I have some things to do outside. Remember to pick up Wanda after school."
Spider-Man or not, he wasn't an amateur anymore. With caution, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Okay… got it!"
April was about to say Wanda didn't like her, but seeing Li Qingyuan pack, she swallowed the words.
She noticed a huge, fully sci-fi-style case that looked like an alien weapon crate from a sci-fi movie.
Was her boss planning to go kill someone?
This case was made by William for Li Qingyuan. As head of the Stark Group's Weapons Design Department, William might not be as famous as Tony Stark, but his abilities already surpassed 99% of the world.
The case looked ordinary on the outside but contained various high-tech systems. It could serve as a missile launcher, a mobile turret, and even expand into a semicircular defense formation.
Unfortunately, Tony hadn't yet developed an energy shield. Otherwise, this case alone could dominate many lower-tier universes!
"Should I prepare dinner for you, boss?" April asked, trembling.
That man who came earlier was probably Li Qingyuan's informant. His dark expression likely meant he had received a killing mission.
And that thing Osborn spent a billion dollars on last time was probably a hit list!
April felt she had discovered the truth. Accidentally uncovering her boss's hidden identity made her feel her life was in danger.
Just like in the movies… was she about to be silenced?
"Just watch and get ready!" Li Qingyuan pressed down his hat, grabbed the case, and left.
April collapsed onto the ground in relief. Her boss had no intention of killing her—she almost died of fright!
Driving straight to Manhattan Midtown Elementary School, he arrived just before dismissal.
Peter Parker attended this school. After Richard Parker's death, Osborn Corp had even sent Peter a trust fund covering all his tuition and living expenses until college.
Otherwise, Ben Parker's salary would never have allowed Peter to attend Manhattan's best school.
Li Qingyuan couldn't comprehend Norman Osborn's reasoning—but it didn't matter; as long as he was happy, that was enough.
"Are you also here to pick up your child? I haven't seen you before," several women approached as they saw Li Qingyuan standing alone with the massive case.
Manhattan Elementary was crowded with parents picking up their children. While American parents encouraged independence more than Chinese parents, this was still the U.S.
They weren't worried about children playing or dating early, but sudden shootings? That was another matter.
After turning down a dozen women, Li Qingyuan realized waiting for Spider-Man here was not a good idea.
Looking at the women's eyes, it was clear they wanted to devour him alive.
Full-time housewives' infidelity rate was already the highest of all professions. Add his towering physique and striking appearance, and he was like a beacon in a dark sea!
