I, the motherland, do whatever I want

Hearing Azu's words, Gwen did not answer immediately. The already mature woman huddled lazily at the other end of the sofa. She also picked up a glass of whiskey and took a sip. Under the stimulation of the alcohol, her fair face floated. A light blush.

"A lot has happened in the past few years, sir."

Gwen held the wine glass in one hand and tilted her head back slightly, showing her beautiful neckline to Azu, making people want to kiss her hard on it.

"Remember the Great War?"

Of course Azu knew that she was referring to the battle that broke out with Martin.

In that battle, New York was razed first, then Martin wiped out a large number of troops, and was finally defeated by Azu.

At that time, Peter Parker died at the hands of Martin before he could awaken as Spider-Man. Only then did Azu use a genetically modified capsule to make Gwen become Spider-Man.

He nodded.

"of course I remember."

Gwen took another sip of the contents of the cup and said.

"After that battle, Osborne provided money to help the Federation rebuild the city, and he contracted the port area."

"At that time, a cordon was set up there, and even reporters were not allowed to enter for interviews. Now Osborne's drug research and development base is located near the port."

"At the beginning, I just thought Osborne's approach was a bit overbearing, but after all, people are spending a lot of money to rebuild the city, so there is nothing wrong with being overbearing."

"But two years later, for some reasons, I began to investigate the Osborne Group and entered their drug research and development base. From there, I discovered some clues."

"I believe that Osborne was not out of kindness, but had a purpose to rebuild the city."

"Furthermore, he undertook the reconstruction of the port area and built a research and development base near the port for a purpose."

“He discovered something there, and it’s because of that discovery that the city became what it is today.”

After hearing what Gwen said, Azu was curious: "What did Osborne find at the port?"

Gwen shook her head. She poured herself another glass of whiskey. After drinking it, there were faint stains of sweat on her forehead.

She lowered the collar of her windbreaker slightly and continued, "I don't know."

"That information should be confidential. I investigated several times and could not find out what Osborne found. However, in the relevant report, Osborne called that thing Sample No. 0."

"Since then, Osborne has developed many drugs, and these drugs have performed well in clinical aspects."

"There are even media advocates that Osborne will eliminate cancer."

"In addition, I also found out that Osborne made some ulterior deals with the Federation."

"The result of the transaction is that the Federation has a special tactics team called the 'Sabre-toothed Tigers'."

"The members of that team all have extraordinary strength, speed and endurance. Simply put, they are super soldiers."

"I've fought a few of them, and if I had just one, I could handle it easily."

"If there were two, I'd have to spend some time."

"If it's three, then I'm not sure of winning."

"When there are five or more opponents, I have no choice but to run away."

"The members of the Green Goblin Guard formed by Osborn Company later had almost the same strength. I suspect that these super soldiers created by Osborn were the result of something he discovered at the port."

"It is the result of research on sample No. 0."

Azu drank up the wine in his glass: "In this way, Osborne is quite capable."

Norman Osborne had already devoted himself to the research of genetic medicines, but that was only due to the genetic disease of the Osborne family.

In the old version of Spider-Man movies, Norman Osborn finally found a solution to the genetic disease, but that required him to equip the Green Goblin suit, and he suffered a mental split, splitting out an evil will.

However, the universe that Azu is in now is the Amazing Spider-Man universe, and the Norman Osborn of this universe did not originally become the Green Goblin.

He only did research on fighting genetic diseases and developed the Green Goblin suit, but he died before he could use the suit to treat himself.

But that's a movie.

In this universe, it was the arrival of Azu that changed the plot, allowing Norman Osborn to get rid of the genetic disease without the help of a suit.

but.

The Osborne Company must have invested a lot of resources in researching this issue before. Professor Lizard was entrusted by Norman Osborn to engage in research in this area, but in the end he just turned himself into a lizard man.

Now that Norman Osborn has gotten rid of the threat of genetic diseases, it is entirely possible to use the original research results to develop a super soldier potion.

As for what the sample No. 0 mentioned by Gwen was, Azu had no clue at all.

He thought for a moment and then asked: "Leave aside the discovery of Osborne, what happened to this city? How did it become Osborne City? And there are also those hunters who hunt legally. How did they do it?" Same thing."

Gwen exhaled and said with a flushed face: "Osborne City is another result of the transaction with the Federation. After helping the Federation establish a 'Sabre-toothed Tiger' special tactics team, the Federation also delegated the governance of this city to Norman Osborne."

"As for whether there were other transactions, I don't know. I only know that when Norman Osborne took over the city, he changed the city's name to Osborne City."

"In addition, he also named some important streets and buildings in the city after his own name or related things. He is really an arrogant man, isn't he."

Azu laughed and said, "No."

Gwen continued: "After the establishment of Osborne City, Norman, a lunatic, issued various laws."

"First, he legitimizes crime, and what was once a criminal villain now appears as a 'hunter.'"

"As long as they hold a hunter's certificate, they can legally 'hunt' and not even the police can stop them."

"So you can probably imagine why I became a wanted fugitive, because I violated the laws of Osborne City by attacking the 'Hunter'."

"I never dreamed that this city, which was rebuilt from the ruins, would eventually become a lawless city."

Azu raised his eyebrows and said, "This is really crazy. The citizens would actually agree?"

"They've been brainwashed."

Gwen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Osborne hired a large number of psychologists to frantically advocate the legalization of crime, and the emergence of 'hunters' will help channel people's violent tendencies and help reduce the crime rate in the city, thereby reducing Pressure on the police system, the prison system, etc.”

“At the same time, he promised those citizens who were ‘hunted’ that Osborne Company would select a number of lucky ones every week, every month, the first quarter, and every year.”

"These lucky ones who are drawn will receive a hundred times compensation for their lost property!"

"On the one hand, it was through brainwashing and bombing through the media, and on the other hand, it was high rewards. Soon, the residents of Osborne City accepted the appearance of hunters and the existence of hunting."

"Although the City of Osborne has strict regulations for hunters, such as only opening one or two 'hunting grounds' each week, hunters can only hunt in the hunting grounds, and any violation will be considered a crime."

"In addition, there are some specific places where hunting is not allowed at any time. These places include Osborne Company and its subsidiaries and related institutions. Others are churches, banks, police stations, hospitals and other public relations places."

"And Osborne stipulates that hunters are not allowed to hunt people with assets exceeding 10 million, as well as police officers, lawyers, doctors, government personnel, etc."

"But even with this clear set of regulations, making crimes legal is something only a madman can do."

Azu leaned back and said with a smile: "I guess if there are hunters, there should be people who hunt 'hunters', right?"

Gwen glanced at Azu in surprise: "You are so powerful, Mr. John, yes, but those guys called 'defenders' do not hunt hunters, but they can interfere with hunters and protect their employers."

"They can legally use violence, even deadly force, against hunters if the hunter threatens the employer."

Azu spread his hands and said: "Then why don't you become a 'defender'? In this case, can't you legally fight against the hunters?"

Gwen shook his head: "Although the residents of this city generally accept this deformed system, there are also some residents who are resisting this system. Unfortunately, these residents are not wealthy and they cannot afford to hire 'defenders' ."

"At the same time, Osborne was disgusted with these opponents. Although he did not express this sentiment publicly, he once announced that if these residents were hunted, even if they were selected, they would not receive any reward."

"Unless they sign the consent form."

"So, Mr. John, they need a free protector."

"Yes, they need Spider-Man."

"Besides, to become a 'Defender' you need to obtain a certificate of approval from Osborne Company. Considering that I have invaded the Osborne base and am wanted by them, I don't think Osborne will issue a certificate to me."

Azu nodded. What Gwen said made sense. He would not persuade this woman to be a 'defender' anymore. Everyone has the right to choose their own life.

If that's what he wants.

After drinking her third glass of whiskey, Gwen's face was so red that she was almost dripping with water. She stood up and said, "Mr. John, I want to change this city."

"But I simply can't do it on my own."

"Now that you're back, I guess"

Azu smiled and said: "No, I am just a passerby. I will not stay here long. I will leave soon."

"I can't be of much help."

"The only people who can change this city are its residents, don't you think?"

Gwen was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, you have helped me so much and given me strength. I really can't ask for anything more from you."

"I haven't even repaid you for helping me."

With that said, she sat astride Azu's lap and breathed hot breath from her mouth.

Gwen breathed heavily: "Mr. John, don't you think the room is a little hot?"

Azu probably guessed what she wanted to do: "Yes, a little bit. What suggestions do you have?"

Gwen bit her lip lightly, pulled her windbreaker away, then hugged Azu's neck and said, "My suggestion is, maybe we can go to the bedroom."

"good."

It would be rude to refuse such a good thing brought to the door, so Azu directly picked up Gwen and walked into the bedroom.

Naturally, a wonderful battle ensued.

The masters compete with each other and press forward step by step.

Between you and me, the two of them got to know each other deeply.

After the battle.

Gwen lay motionless on the bed. She looked at the ceiling and said, "I'm sorry, I've been under too much pressure recently, but I don't want to be casual, so..."

"It doesn't matter, I don't hate this development."

"But it's getting late now, I have to go back."

Azu put on his clothes and turned around and said, "I'm staying at the Green Goblin Hotel these days. If you have any trouble, you can come to the hotel to see me."

"However, it is only for these few days."

After saying that, Azu left.

He returned to the hotel in the morning light, took a shower, and fell asleep.

Although he basically doesn't need sleep now, he still likes it. Sleep allows him to feel like a human being.

More than two hours later, Azu opened his eyes and heard the sound of the doorbell.

A moment later, Ada Lin's voice sounded outside the door: "Mr. John, guess who is here, it's Mr. Osborne."

"Remember Mr. Osborne? We once lived in his castle."

Of course Azu knew, after all, he only talked about him with Gwen last night.

Unexpectedly, Osborne would come looking for him just two days after he arrived.

But this is not surprising. He caused such a big incident last night. As the manager of this city, it would be strange if Osborne didn't know he was here.

He sat up, put on his pajamas, and went to the hall.

In the hall, Osborne, who was wearing a suit, showed a friendly smile and walked over with open arms.

"Mr. John, long time no see."

"I thought I was dazzled, but I didn't expect it was really you."

"It's so good to see you again, Mr. John. I've been imagining this moment again every day for these years."

“I didn’t expect it to finally come true today.”

Azu laughed, did not refuse, and hugged Old Osborne gently.

"You look good, Mr. Osborne."

"Even this city is now named after you. I was shocked when I heard it."

The two met happily, as if they were old friends seeing each other again, but both Azu and Old Osborne had their own thoughts.

"Mr. John, don't worry, I have already taken care of yesterday's matters for you."

"I promise the police won't give you any trouble."

After the hug, Old Osborne immediately asked Azu for credit, and he continued: "Of course, you won't care about this little thing, and I have to ask you to forgive me for making my own decision."

Azu said perfunctorily: "No, if I was wanted, I wouldn't be able to sleep in the hotel like now. The police would have arrested me long ago."

Old Osborne laughed dryly, and then said: "Mr. John, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to my home?"

Azu chuckled and said, "It's my honor to accept Mr. Mayor's invitation. I'm so happy that it's not too late."

When Old Osborne heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately called the bodyguards and asked them to escort Lin Ada while he opened the door for Azu himself.

When Azu walked out, he found that the corridor was full of hotel staff, and they all looked at Azu in shock.

After all, this is the man who asked Old Osborne to visit him personally! (End of chapter)
