Chapter 50: Severing the Past, Embracing the New
After quickly putting on his clothes, Martin Li was led away by the prison guard through heavy security, then met up with his underlings from the Inner Demons.
Before long, he appeared in front of Norman Osborn.
Norman Osborn leaned on his cane, his physical activity for the day slightly exceeding the limit.
"Li, I need you to do something for me."
"Please, go ahead."
Norman Osborn, as Martin Li's benefactor who had now rescued him, spoke in a polite tone, which surprised Martin Li for a moment before he became overjoyed.
"You mean, a cure for neurodegenerative diseases has finally been developed, GR-15?"
A piece of news this good came too abruptly, and he was somewhat overwhelmed by it.
"That's right, the data from various experiments is as expected. We only need the final human trials."
"I'll do it!"
Having been doing the dirty work for Norman Osborn for many years, Martin Li naturally understood what Norman Osborn needed at this moment.
"No, you can't show yourself outside now. Overwatch will definitely send people after you, and who knows what means those mutants have. I can't do it either because Overwatch should know what research I've been conducting. If any related patients go missing, they will definitely investigate me, right?"
"That's right. Those mutants can directly read memories, so whether I confess or not is pointless."
"So, since we're only one step away, it should be you."
"Me?!"
Martin Li was surprised. He didn't expect Norman Osborn to make him the subject of the experiment.
"After all these years, we've finally reached this final step. I don't want to complicate things at this critical moment and leave any handle for Overwatch. So..."
"So, only I am the most suitable."
"That's right."
"And I have no choice," Martin Li became calmer instead.
"That's right."
There was one unspoken agreement between the two, and that was Martin Li's daughter. As her father, he couldn't make her the subject of the experiment, so the little girl would suffer.
"But I have helped you so much."
"They were just trivial matters. I don't want to soil my own hands."
As the conversation reached this point, Norman Osborn had already torn his face with Martin Li.
In Norman Osborn's eyes, Martin Li had already lost his value. The Inner Demons' attack today was just a suicide mission, and he didn't care about the lives of those gang members. It was convenient that the attack on the prison was completely thwarted, severing any connection he had with that filth.
After all, once GR-15 succeeded, Norman Osborn would have many more days to live without resorting to any means as he had before. So, this part of his past could be completely cut off.
Cut off the stain of the Inner Demons, fully utilize Martin Li's final value, and then bury him completely, burying his own dark past.
When he recovered from the illness, it would be Norman Osborn's rebirth!
...
Martin Li had no choice but to bow his head. Not to mention that his family was now certainly in Norman's hands, he himself could not escape Norman's control.
He could only place his hope on GR-15. If it succeeded, there would be hope.
"They don't know anything. If GR-15 succeeds..."
"For the sake of our many years of friendship, I will give your daughter a future and let them live like ordinary people."
"That would be enough."
It was a dead end, and Martin Li couldn't think of any solution.
Even if he had known from the beginning that there was no way out of this situation, his daughter, who inherited his disease, would still become a subject of experimentation.
If GR-15 failed, he would die, but his daughter would still have a glimmer of hope. Yes, although reluctant to admit it, Overwatch would likely investigate their whereabouts due to the Inner Demons' attack on the prison and his escape. Norman Osborn did not want to confront Overwatch now, and who knows if there were any mutants among them who could use unthinkable methods to find Martin Li's family.
So, it might actually be Overwatch that could save his family's lives. Norman Osborn wouldn't control his family for a long time, and if they were found, he would be implicated.
If GR-15 succeeded, he would also die. Martin Li didn't believe that Norman Osborn would let him go. He knew too much about Norman Osborn's dark secrets, and the memories read from him last time were only a small part.
Can mutants easily read all of a person's memories? Aren't they afraid of bursting their brains?
"The experiment will begin immediately."
Norman Osborn waved his hand, and the bodyguards on both sides surrounded Martin Li.
Meanwhile...
The sound between the gold bricks was not crisp; it was somewhat dull.
There were many gold bricks in front of Warren, but his expression wasn't very happy.
"Heart Demons Gang launched an attack on the prison, even using heavy weapons?"
This news was too unexpected. Warren never expected to receive such a phone call.
American gangs wouldn't be so direct, would they? The leader was captured, yet they still used heavy weapons to attack the prison.
Could it be that they were all marked with life or death symbols?
It was possible, after all, Martin Li was also of Chinese descent.
In the gold vault next to the gold mine, the melted gold bricks turned into the balance in Warren's card pool.
Even after absorbing enough gold coins, he still couldn't figure out why.
The Heart Demons Gang was almost wiped out, with only the leader Martin Li and a few others escaping, while the remaining members were suppressed by the arriving police and rapid response teams. But they chose to detonate bombs and commit suicide.
Something was wrong. Everything seemed wrong.
"Do the gangs have such a strong will to fight? Impossible. It means there was a problem with the bomb that was detonated last."
Thinking of this, Warren contacted Nightmare from Overwatch.
"Nightmare, did you find anything else when you checked Martin Li's memories last time?"
"Advisor, everyone's memories are vast and complicated. I generally only look at the necessary parts; otherwise, it would confuse me. I only saw some of Martin Li's memories of doing bad things for Norman Osborn."
"Some? How many times, roughly?"
"About five or six times every quarter."
Martin Li had been helping Norman Osborn find people with genetic diseases and kidnapping them to send to the laboratory for some experiments.
Huh?
"Thanks, I'll bring you some African specialties later."
After ending the communication with Nightmare, Warren immediately contacted Garrett.
"Does Martin Li's case involve any hereditary diseases?"
Garrett quickly searched, but found nothing.
"I couldn't find Martin Li's case. Let me borrow the S.H.I.E.L.D. database... Still nothing. But I did find his daughter's case, and she does have a hereditary disease."
Martin Li's information couldn't be found online, which was expected, but as the founder of the FEAST homeless shelter, Martin Li's family relationship could be found, and his daughter's case was thus discovered.
A series of clues emerged. Although they couldn't be fully connected yet, Warren could conclude that there was a problem here.
After all, it was Norman Osborn himself. He had his own hereditary disease, and the research he conducted to cure it gave birth to the famous Spider-Man and Green Goblin.
"Send someone to find Martin Li's daughter immediately. And keep a close eye on Norman Osborn, 24/7!"
