Gwen Stacy sat on the stands next to the playground, watching Peter Parker exercising below. After the Lizard Man riot on the Brooklyn Bridge, the Osborn Group immediately took over the interspecies gene transplantation project, sealed off the laboratory and took over all experimental data.
These interns were all diverted to other insignificant projects and semi-forced to sign confidentiality agreements. Dr. Connors simply disappeared.
Gwen suspected that the lizard man was the test subject of the lizard serum. Osborne Group used the lizard serum in human experiments without the permission of the FDA. This behavior is simply disregarding human life.
However, a behemoth like the Osborne Group is not something that ordinary people like them can fight against. Even if his father is the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, he would be inexplicably killed if he wanted to intervene.
Accidentally having your throat crushed while working out, having a heart attack, or suffocating to death by accidentally putting a plastic bag on your body, people who go against these big groups are always very unlucky.
Unfortunately, the surviving witnesses either hid in the car or fled far away, and no one saw where the lizard man fled.
"Ninety-seven... ninety-eight... ninety-nine... one hundred!"
After running ten kilometers, Peter Parker did a hundred squats in a row. Such an amazing amount of exercise attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Next up is a hundred push-ups!"
He just lay on the ground and did push-ups very standardly.
Gwen Stacy finally couldn't help it, walked down the stands, and stood in front of Peter Parker. It had been like this since three days ago. He suddenly became an avid fitness enthusiast. After the daily classes, he would go to the playground for high-intensity training.
"What happened, Peter? You've changed so much recently." Gwen put the water in front of Peter Parker: "I'm worried about you!"
She had already checked with her father and found that no relatives of Peter Parker were involved in the Brooklyn Bridge incident.
Peter Parker stopped doing push-ups and stood up.
"I was on the Brooklyn Bridge when the Lizardmen attacked it."
Gwen Stacy's pupils shrank slightly.
"You are clearly not on the list of witnesses."
Peter Parker shook his head:
"I ran away when they came to register my identity. Gwen, I watched helplessly as the monster threw a car full of people into the icy East River in New York. Their screams echoed in my ears. I tried to stop the monster, but I was no match for it and was almost killed by it."
"Gwen, I want to become stronger, at least next time when I encounter the same situation, I won't be just a bystander, and I won't be so powerless and unable to do anything like this time."
Peter Parker's eyes were red as he spoke. He was just an ordinary high school student. Death seemed to be a very distant thing. It was the first time he saw so many lives passing away in an instant.
Gwen's heart softened and she hugged Peter Parker in her arms.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you have tried your best."
Only now did she realize that the hero who stood up to stop the Lizard Man according to the witnesses' testimonies was Peter Parker.
"One hundred and fifty-three people survived because of you. You saved them."
Peter Parker felt a very pleasant fragrance enveloping him, and the warm body made him feel a little overwhelmed.
"But is it really useful for you to exercise like this?"
Gwen asked doubtfully, letting go of her hand shyly.
"Of course, this was taught to me by a super powerful master. I have been practicing for the past three days and I feel like I have become much stronger!"
Peter Parker said excitedly. He could clearly feel that when he was exercising, a steady stream of strength was flowing out from deep inside his body. In just three days, he not only became familiar with the power after the mutation, but also increased his ultimate strength a lot.
If he faces the Lizardman again, he will definitely not be as powerless as last time.
... ... .
... ...
The metal box was opened, revealing neatly stacked stacks of brand new US dollars.
"You are making money too fast."
Alejandro scratched his head, feeling helpless.
"More than 100 million US dollars. Even if you open a mine in Bolivia, you can't make so much money in a short period of time. Let alone an illegitimate child. I can help you launder part of it first, but you must have other ways to invest. It's useless to just invest the money in the farm. Your income is too single. You must have more industries to include these unknown sources of money little by little when calculating your income and declare taxes."
He was brought to the farm from Bolivia by Broly to deal with the more than 100 million cash he had just received.
It would take a long time to launder the 100 million in cash using traditional money laundering methods such as opening restaurants, game halls and car washes.
What really comes in handy is making movies. By using hidden contracts and falsely reporting filming costs, if everything goes well, one can launder thirty or forty million US dollars for a single movie.
Investing in art is a similar method. The cruder one is to buy famous paintings at a low price, and then send them to auction as "consignment from an unknown collector". The money launderer then buys the paintings at an amount far exceeding the normal price.
A more covert way to launder money through art is to select paintings suitable for money laundering on the market. It is easier to operate with hundreds of thousands of paintings of the same type with 100 to 300 circulation in the market. It can be works of the same painter or works of the same school.
First, a certain number of paintings are purchased at low prices, and then the prices of these paintings are continued to be driven up dozens of times through negotiated transactions or false transactions. The previously purchased paintings can then be used to launder money.
Although the cycle of this type of operation is very long, it is very covert and has almost no hidden dangers. It can even be used to kill rabbits while taking advantage of the situation and trick some ignorant piglets into handing over their money.
In this case, the authenticity of the work is no longer important, and the fake one may even be more useful than the real one.
Unfortunately, the money laundering middlemen are usually evil-minded. If they don't have a strong background to deter, they dare to steal anyone's money. Broly can't hand over the money to them without exposing his strength. If his strength is exposed, Clark Kent's identity will no longer be safe.
"Let's use the money we have now to buy a machining company. Cade is a great inventor, and we'll make a lot of money. By then, maybe we won't even have to launder the 100 million dollars."
Broly patted Cade's shoulder encouragingly.
"Boss!"
Cade was somewhat touched.
