The sun was high in the sky.
After a perfect morning workout, Aaron took Felicia to the Corporation.
When they arrived at the office, they found two middle-aged men already waiting.
"Where's Norman?"
Aaron glanced around, uncharacteristically not seeing Norman.
Without thinking much, Aaron had Connors and Otto brought in.

Chapter 20: Subduing the Lizard Professor, limb regeneration potion!
"Hello, Mr. Aaron, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"I am Curt Connors."
"I am Otto Octavius."
The two bespectacled middle-aged men greeted Aaron enthusiastically.
Aaron leaned against the conference table with his arms crossed, his expression relaxed, as if he was in a rather good mood?
Curt Connors was a bit puzzled; hadn't they heard from people outside that Aaron always had a secretary with him? Where was the secretary now?
They hesitated for a moment, then quickly dismissed it.
Women would only hinder their sword-drawing speed!
Aaron exhaled softly, revealing a kind smile, but did not stand up.
"Dr. Curt Connors, you had a period of cooperation with the Osborn Corporation, reportedly to develop a fortified limb regeneration potion based on lizards, but unfortunately, you didn't succeed, so Mr. Norman stopped funding you some time ago, right?"
Curt Connors heard this and eagerly said, "Actually, Mr. Aaron, my research has reached a crucial point; it's just one step away from success!"
"As long as you give me a little more time, I can develop a limb regeneration potion, and even strengthen the human physique, making the human body perfect!"
Aaron was noncommittal about what Curt said. Did he not know if it would succeed or not?
Perfect human?
You mean a perfect Lizard people, right!
If it really went your way, the US would be staging a new Hollywood blockbuster: Rise of the Planet of the Lizards!
A Lizard people named Curt Connors leads the Lizard people community, successfully defeats humanity, becomes the new ruler of Earth, and even enslaves humans!
"I remember Felicia… hiss… she asked you to bring a copy of your findings."
"Did you bring it?"
Curt Connors could tell that Aaron was not interested in the scenario he described. Hearing this, he quickly nodded.
"It's right here!"
He carefully took out a box containing a green serum from his briefcase.
Just by looking at the color, you could tell this serum was utterly unreliable!
Those who knew it was lizard serum, those who didn't would think it was a biochemical poison.
Although, in some respects, this thing was only missing strong contagiousness.
"Do you mind if I take a look?"
Aaron said, but had already taken the lizard serum and held it in mid-air to examine it.
"I heard this stuff has many flaws?"
Connors didn't seem to care much about the serum, nor was he afraid of his results being stolen, because the Osborn Corporation actually had backups of all these materials.
But they were all swept into the trash and archived, most likely never to be used again.
"Currently… currently it hasn't been effective on experimental subjects…"
"But I've already found the problem! It's the decay rate algorithm! As long as the algorithm problem can be solved, people can gain self-healing abilities!"
Connors was very excited, eager to prove the effectiveness of his research.
"So… you're still stuck in theory?"
Aaron summarized after hearing this and questioned, "Then, Mr. Curt, if you solve the decay rate algorithm problem, how do you determine how much of the body's functions foreign species' genes will take over?"
"For example… even if a person gains self-healing abilities, their skin turns dark green, scales appear, they have a long tongue, and bestiality dominates human thought…"
Connors couldn't answer, because, as the other party said, he was still stuck in theory.
"It's possible, but I'm confident I can solve it! Because I am the world's top authority in herpetology, I can solve those problems, believe me!"
Otto, beside him, felt a pang of sympathy and nodded softly, "I understand Connors, he is indeed very capable."
Aaron scoffed, casually placed the serum in a cabinet, closed his eyes for a moment to rest, then took out another light green reagent.
"This is…"
Curt Connors' eyes were full of doubt.
"This is what you've been dreaming of!"
"Limb regeneration reagent!"
Connors' pupils contracted, "You… you succeeded!!"
"Oh my god, this is impossible!"
If the Osborn Corporation really had this capability, then related reports would have long since flooded in like a tide, occupying every corner of the internet.
However, in reality, because the Osborn Corporation had a temporary change of leadership to a young and handsome Easterner, it caused widespread panic, and the stock price plummeted like a waterfall, completely unstoppable!
Osborn was only able to withstand it by relying on its own strong foundation.
But the outside world still held a questioning attitude towards the future development of the Osborn Corporation.
After all, no one believed that an Easterner in his early twenties could steer this giant ship better than a wise middle-aged white man, Norman.
This is a limb regeneration potion, not some common cold medicine!!
"So… do you dare to try it?"
Aaron smiled and reminded him, "Theoretically, it's perfectly successful, but it hasn't undergone human trials."
"And you are the first!"
Otto's face changed dramatically upon hearing this, "No, Curt!"
Otto and Curt were college classmates, and they maintained a good relationship after graduation.
One was a biology expert, the other a nuclear physics expert, both standing at the peak of their respective fields.
He didn't want Curt to drink something strange and then die young.
Curt Connors hesitated, holding the reagent, he glanced at Aaron, who looked indifferent.
"Although I don't know your background, and I don't know why Mr. Norman gave you the Corporation, I don't think a boss who controls a hundred-billion-dollar Corporation needs to use these things to kill a small fry like me."
In the black market, his head was worth at most one million!
Once he died here, the Osborn Corporation's losses would be in the tens of billions!
Even the US president probably wasn't worth that much.
Thinking of this, Connors made up his mind.
"Inject or drink directly."
"Either is fine!"
Otto became even more worried. Although he wasn't a biology expert, that didn't mean he was an outsider.
In fact, his capabilities in this area were not low, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to research something like mechanical arms.
A reagent that can be drunk directly?
No matter how you think about it, it's not reliable!
Aren't you afraid of it being corroded by stomach acid?
Connors hesitated for another moment, then tilted his head back and drank it.
One second, two seconds… "Nothing seems to have happened? It's like… drinking a sweet beverage?"
Connors was full of suspicion.
However, the next moment after he finished questioning, he felt his arm itch intensely!
Pain came from the previously scabbed area, something pushed open the flesh, and then burst out from the severed limb!
At a speed visible to the naked eye,
A perfectly intact right arm grew out!
Connors and Otto's jaws dropped, watching this scene, speechless for a long time.
"A miracle! This is a miracle!"
"Mr. Aaron, you have created a miracle! The limb regeneration potion is absolutely the greatest achievement in medical history!"
"Even the Nobel Prize cannot fully match your contribution!"
Connors was completely convinced!
He felt his right arm while tears streamed down his face.
"What you just drank was the world's first and only limb regeneration potion!"
Aaron added another sentence.
Connors' face turned pale with fright, looking at the empty test tube, a strange emotion brewing within him.
Is this what Easterners mean by 'a scholar dies for his confidant'?
"Mr. Aaron…"
"Now, Mr. Curt Connors, are you willing to join us and recreate this reagent?"
Aaron didn't seem flustered, showing no regret.
Connors did not hesitate, nodding heavily.
"It is my honor to work for you!"
"Even if you don't pay a penny, I am willing to pay to serve you!"
Chapter 21: This awareness is at the forefront of the world!
Look!
Look at this awareness!
Paying to work, ten years ahead of its time!
As expected of the top biology expert, this thinking is advanced, it is ahead of everyone else!
Of course, Aaron doesn't lack this money.
(Norman: I do!).
"Later, you'll bring another one of your research findings, I have a use for it. Then, I will have Norman clear out a top-tier biology laboratory for you within the Corporation."
"You will be the research director for the limb regeneration potion. I hope you can reverse-engineer the results as soon as possible."
Aaron casually settled the matter.
A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even the Osborn Corporation, with its unstoppable stock decline, had a full one hundred and eight research laboratories just at its headquarters!
Most of this building's interior was laboratories, and no one knew what projects were being advanced inside.
Even Aaron, the big boss, hadn't gone to check them one by one.
"So, boss, when do we start?"
