"Osborn Group's factory was attacked, and hundreds of high-tech equipment were stolen!"

"The safety of exoskeleton equipment is in doubt, and the public demands restrictions on individuals and enterprises owning exoskeleton equipment!"

Harry shook his wine glass, feeling a bit agitated.

Are these guys a bit brain-dead? I was robbed, and instead of demanding the NYPD to improve public security, they blame our company for producing too advanced equipment?

"Father, has the business been affected?"

Norman was looking at some materials on the side, and upon hearing this, he closed his computer.

"Yes, the civilian exoskeleton orders have decreased a lot, and some companies have even canceled orders, but the military orders are unaffected."

"What do the media and officials say?"

"They want more money, and it seems someone has already talked to them in advance." Norman's face was also a bit gloomy. "It looks like a big shot."

Of course, it's a big shot, the head of all the American gangs.

Ding Ling Ling -

Harry's phone rang, and the father and son exchanged glances, turning the phone to speaker mode.

"Mr. Osborn, I am very sorry for the misfortune and losses your company has encountered, and I am calling to express my condolences."

The man's voice sounded gentle and deep, speaking politely like a gentleman.

"Thank you for your condolences, but may I ask who you are?" Norman asked.

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself in a hurry." The person on the other end of the phone paused, "I am Wilson Fisk."

Hearing this, Harry frowned. What does this guy want to do?

"Thank you for your condolences, Mr. Fisk, is there anything else?"

"Actually, I have noticed that your company seems to have encountered some troubles recently. I have some friends in all walks of life, and I may be able to help you solve these troubles."

After a moment of silence, Norman replied:

"Sounds good, so what can we do for you?"

"Haha, that's too formal. I always help friends without expecting anything in return. In addition, I have noticed that your company seems to have some financial problems. If you have any problems with the municipal power grid project, I can help you solve some financial issues."

So that's what he's after? The New York power grid?

"Also, I want to order a batch of exoskeleton equipment. It's time to equip my employees with some protective measures..."

Hearing this, Harry understood that this fat man was playing with them!

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

As expected, Kingpin would lower the price of exoskeletons, then demand the Osborn Group to illegally sell military power armor, and then demand to join the municipal power grid project - this fat man has a big appetite!

Harry was really angry this time, and he shook his head slightly to Norman.

"Well... Your proposal is very tempting, but the company has encountered a lot of things recently, and I need to take some time to think about it."

"Oh, of course, such an important matter should be carefully considered! Then I won't disturb you, Mr. Norman Osborn, and Mr. Harry Osborn."

Click.

"He wants to blackmail us." Norman shrugged, he had seen too many people like this, Fisk was just a slightly bigger guy.

"No, Dad, he really has the ability to settle these matters." Harry took out his computer and fiddled with something on it. "Dad, do you know Kingpin?"

"A gang leader who controls all the gangs in the United States? But that's just a legend, you're not telling me it's true, are you?"

"He may not be as legendary as the legend, but there is indeed such a person." Harry opened the projection and continued, "Think about it, Dad, a few hours before the attack, all the cameras on the road to the factory were turned off, and the NYPD arrived late, saying there was a lack of police force. Do you know, the newspaper published a news yesterday that the NYPD helped an old lady find her pet cat, on the same day."

"It sounds troublesome... So consider using money to settle this matter? What is this?"

"No, we can't get involved with them."

The projection shows the route of Kingpin's truck after robbing the goods, and it can be seen that they deliberately took a few detours.

"This is... A tracker? You want to solve the problem yourself? It sounds like a gang's approach."

"No... Dad, I want you to show this route map, the key is not where the tracker stops, but their route."

In fact, the tracker's signal finally stopped on a road in the suburbs, and it is unknown whether it ran out of battery or the signal was blocked.

Harry specifically marked several sections of the route.

"These areas are not parishes, and some places even have police stations nearby. Besides, I haven't heard of any major cases that urgently needed police force that night, but these police just didn't help."

"It sounds... Kingpin has a lot of power."

"Indeed, but he mostly uses some underhanded means: bribing the upper echelons, and then creating leverage; lending to the lower levels, personal threats, and taking away relatives as hostages. If we decide to cooperate with him, he will sooner or later catch our leverage."

Norman, who almost became the Green Goblin, naturally understood these things, and moreover, Osborn Group has never lacked money to "entertain."

"Kingpin is not a big deal, but if we don't solve the gang order he represents, there will still be a next Kingpin to ask us for benefits."

"So, you're not going to say let me be this Kingpin, are you?" Norman joked.

"No, Dad, I want you to be the president."

His words fell, and Norman's expression became very strange, the president? Is this something you can just become?

"This is not a joke, Dad, first we need to strive to make you the governor of New York, which should not be difficult, after all, you have been the CEO and chairman of the well-known enterprise Osborn Group..."

Seeing that his son was not joking, Norman gradually got into the role.

Considering the strength of Osborn Group, any party needs such an enterprise as a backing.

At present, the war in Afghanistan is in full swing. It should be a good entry point to participate in the ruling party's activities with the military industry, but Harry, after all, is a person who has traveled through time, and he knows that another major opposition party is more suitable for Norman in the long run.

Tony Stark has already disappeared in Afghanistan, and when he returns, he will give up most of the military industry of Stark Industries and advocate anti-war thoughts as the identity of Iron Man. On the other hand, the war in Afghanistan has been going on for several years, and the domestic anti-war sentiment is intense. The war in Afghanistan will become a burden, not a good target for attracting votes.

The most important thing is that aliens are coming soon... In this world, internationalization is inevitable.

After a discussion, Norman Osborn, who was supposed to become the Green Goblin, decided on his future path - he wanted to become the President of the United States.

The next day, Norman Osborn resigned as the CEO of Osborn Group, and the news of participating in this year's New York State Senate election set off a media frenzy.

Kingpin, right? The emperor of gangsters, right? You wait for me.
