Chapter 42 Harry Osborn
The Empire State Building is a famous skyscraper on Fifth Avenue in New York City. On the roof of this nearly 500-meter-high building, two figures stand shoulder to shoulder.
At night, New York is dimly lit. Looking down from the rooftops, the traffic flows on the crisscrossing streets are like a long dragon and the lights are flashing, which is particularly dazzling.
At this time, Hodge was floating next to the antenna at the top of the Empire State Building, and next to him was Parker who was attached to the antenna.
The locations of Hodge and Parker can see the entire New York financial center clearly. The night wind is cold and it makes people feel comfortable when blowing on their faces.
"Doesn't it feel great?" Parker sighed at Hodge as he looked at the view below.
"It's OK." Listening to Parker's sigh, although Hodge did not admit it, he agreed very much in his heart. Although he had flew to a high place before and had seen the whole picture of New York, the scenery had never been comfortable here.
This is equivalent to seeing the same environment from different perspectives, it will give people different sensory and visual effects.
"By the way, you haven't said why you want me to let them go." After admiring the view for a while, Hodge glanced at Parker with a simple tone.
"They have left. Does it make sense for us to say this?" Parker asked without answering Hodge's question.
Hodge was speechless about Parker's rogue behavior, but he was not very worried about letting the Red Devil and the Night Walker Hodge go. The Red Devil's feet and ankles were shattered by him, and he could only live in a wheelchair in the future. He could not even use his best momentary movement. Such a person would not have many threats.
Moreover, he was taken away by the Night Walker. Thinking of the night walker's gritting teeth when he saw the Red Devil, he could also know the consequences of the Red Devil being taken away by the Night Walker.
"Okay, what you said makes sense, but what are we doing here now? Enjoy the night view?" He sighed helplessly. Hodge no longer struggled with letting go of the popular devil.
Looking at Hodge's helpless look, Parker jumped gently, jumped off the antenna, stood on the edge of the top of the building, looked up at Hodge and smiled, then said, "I just want to know, did you have the ability from the beginning?"
Seeing Parker ask about his abilities, Hodge lowered his head and thought. Although his abilities only started to appear in elementary school, they should have been on his body when he came here.
"Yeah, it's almost the same. Did you ask me here to ask this question?" Hodge was very skeptical of Parker's true thoughts.
Looking at Hodge's suspicious look, Parker smiled, "Of course not. In fact, Uncle Ben has told me about you a long time ago."
Looking at Hodge with a shocked expression, Parker continued with a smile: "Uncle Ben has been nagging you in my ears recently, so I want you to go back with me to give Uncle Ben a surprise, and it seems that you have not been to my house yet."
Hodge thought about Parker's invitation, and there was nothing to do next, so it would be nice to go to Parker's house. Hodge admired this person, otherwise he would not have saved him at the beginning.
After thinking about it, Hoqi nodded and agreed to Parker's invitation.
Seeing Hodge agreeing, Parker patted Hodge's shoulder excitedly and laughed, "I know you will agree. Let's go quickly, it's getting late." After that, Parker jumped from the rooftop.
Looking at Parker who was nimble, Hodge secretly complained, "I know it's getting late, and I'm still talking to me here..."
But saying that, Hodge followed.
...
Under the cold night, the two of them quickly passed through streets like ghosts in the dark, and it took only five minutes from Manhattan to Queens.
It's several times faster than taking the subway. Of course, it took five minutes to take Hodge to follow Parker, otherwise with his speed, he didn't even need to even ten seconds.
Soon, the two arrived at Parker's doorstep. Hodge looked at Parker's house. It had a red roof and white wall, and it was relatively old-style. There was a small yard outside, surrounded by a white fence. Standing in the yard, you could see the lights in the house flashing and people were everywhere.
"Parker, it seems that you have a lot of people in your family tonight. Today should be a special day, and it should be a surprise for you." Hodge glanced at the decoration of Parker's house and the big cake in the kitchen, and smiled at Parker with a confused look on his face.
"Is that?" Parker was also a little excited when he heard Hodge say this. He hurried to the door, took out the key and opened the door.
Follow Parker into their house, Hodge saw an old lady with a grey-haired and kind-faced face. The old lady looked at Parker with a blushing face, "Happy birthday! Parker!"
Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman came out and shouted: "Happy birthday."
The man and the woman, Hodge, also knew him. The woman was Parker's first love Mary Jane, and the man was Parker's friend Harry Osborne.
However, the appearance of the two people who haven't met for a long time has changed a lot. Mary Jane's red hair has been dyed golden, her fair face looks more charming than when she was in high school, and her white home clothes make her look more mature.
Harry's changes became even bigger, his face looked more mature, and his body, which was a little thin in high school, had become stronger and stronger at this time. A thin black sweater and a pair of navy blue jeans gave his mature face a more vitality that a young man should have.
However, although there was a smile on his face at this time, Hodge still saw a trace of sadness and hatred in his eyes. It was obvious that he was still resentful of his father's death.
Behind the three of them, Ben Zheng, who had an older face, looked at all this with a smile. When he saw Hodge behind Parker, he was shocked first, and then nodded to him quietly.
Seeing Ben nodding to him, Hodge responded with a smile, then looked at his May next to Parker with a curious look, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello, I am Parker's high school classmate, Hodge Paso."
Mei glanced at Hodge, then stretched out her somewhat old hand and shook Hodge, "I know, my old man often talks about you in my ears, but you are more handsome than he described."
Listening to Mei's unconcealed praise, Hodge touched his nose awkwardly.
Seeing that Hodge was embarrassed, May didn't hold her back, "Okay, you are Parker's high school classmate, so you should know Harry and Mary Jane, so I won't introduce it."
"You guys chat slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner." Mei smiled kindly at everyone, turned around and headed towards the kitchen.
Ben, who was standing at the end, saw Mei leaving and smiled at everyone, "The next time is your young people, I won't join in, you have a happy chat!" As he said that, he blinked at everyone playfully, and turned around and walked into the kitchen.
After the two old men left, there were only four young people left in the living room, and they were all high school classmates, so naturally they would not feel that there was anything wrong with each other.
"Hodgie, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you and Parker are in the same university. What have you been busy with recently?" Among the four, Harry, who has entered society, is the best at socializing with others. He was the first to speak after seeing Hoodgie.
"I'm working on a great topic with Dr. Connors. If you are interested, you can find me." He smiled and shook hands with Harry. Hodge knew that Harry is a rich man now.
Although his father's company building was acquired by Tony, Harry also made himself the only controller of the Os Group with that money.
You should know that before Harry's father died, he killed all the shareholders of Os Group and transferred the shares to his own name. Now, those things are in Harry's hands. It can be said that among the four people, Harry has the highest value.
Hodge sympathized with Harry. He could be said to be the most tragic character in Spider-Man. He was born in a wealthy family, handsome in appearance, and devoted in love. He could not smell the frivolous and debauchery of a rich young man.
Unfortunately, he is a superhero brother and is destined to have a ill-fated fate, so his father was first killed, and then his girlfriend was robbed. The entire Austen Enterprise collapsed overnight. What's even more unlucky is that his face will be disfigured in the near future.
All of this is closely related to his good brother Parker, and in the end he will be killed by Venom for helping his brother.
The memory of Harry in his mind flashed away, and Hodge suddenly decided to help him with this sad thing.
Moreover, since he was completely suppressed by Stark Industry in weapon manufacturing, after taking over the Austes Group, Harry immediately focused on energy development.
Dr. Otto's nuclear fusion technology is one of his company's investment projects.
Hodge's words made Harry's eyes lit up. What his company lacks the most now is a product that can promote corporate popularity. Harry can be said to be confident about Hodge's words.
Because Hodge was a storied figure in the school during his high school years, he was even more famous than Parker.
So when Harry heard Hodge say this, he quickly responded: "As long as it is valuable, I'm happy!"
"Its appearance will shock the whole world!"
Just as the two were about to discuss in detail, Mary Jane interrupted the topic of the two with helpless expressions, "Okay, today is Parker's birthday, not the time to talk about other things."
Seeing the only woman present expressing her opinion, Hodge and Harry looked at each other and stopped the topic at the same time.
...
The birthday dinner in the evening was very satisfactory. During this period, Hodge also had a good conversation with Ben. After some casual conversation, Hodge felt that he had benefited a lot.
Looking at the elderly Ben, Hodge felt that it was a pity that he would not be a philosophy teacher.
After the dinner, Harry did not forget to tell Parker about his own investor, and by the way, he also planned to introduce Parker to Dr. Otto tomorrow as a gift to him.
Finally, Harry did not forget to exchange phone numbers with Hodge, and was preparing to find an opportunity to discuss the previous topic in detail.
Hodge also readily accepted this, because Connors' experiment was too shabby and it was difficult to achieve great things without a large amount of investment.
After all, Hodge himself suspected that the reason why Dr. Connors turned himself into a Lizardman was that he did not have much money to conduct more comprehensive and comprehensive tests.
Doing this by yourself can be regarded as indirectly helping Connors achieve his ideal, right?
