Chapter 51
- It's all right Mr. Wilson. I'm sure they'll treat me favorably. Let's waste no more time and finally meet them face to face! - When I had finished, I didn't bother Thomas any more, and pushed the door open and went inside.
The five men, who had been whispering about something, stopped talking and looked at me. The expression on their faces, the way they looked at each other, all showed how nervous they were.
All five men were incredibly similar. Half bald head, obese, and a slightly arrogant look, as if they stood taller than the others.
- Hello, gentlemen. I don't think I need to introduce myself, I know you've already found all the information you want to know about me. So let's get right down to business. Are there those among you who are against my inheritance of OzCorp?
Shareholders looked at each other, as if deciding which of them will speak, but in the end the fat one who sat farthest from me stood up.
- Mr. Parker, my name is Oliver Mitchell. You know, when we learned of the deaths of Norman and his son Harry... to be honest, it shook us up a lot. In their situation, we saw ourselves dying a tragic death in pursuit of money while neglecting our family.
So my colleagues and I had a meeting in which we decided to leave the company and put all the shares in your hands. You don't have to worry about us, we have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of our lives. All the documents have been signed and are in a folder in front of your desk. That's all, goodbye. - The man left the office. After him the rest of the former shareholders said goodbye and with reluctant faces hurried to the exit, and all this under the dumbfounded look of Wilson.
- Mr. Parker, tell me I'm awake. - Thomas Wilson muttered dazedly.
- Fortunately not, Mr. Wilson. I'm going to have to ask you to check the documents, and if they are in order, to complete all legal delays.
- Of course, Mr. Parker. I'll get right on it! - Mr. Parker said, and then took the folder in his hands and quickly left the office.
- Sir, I've finally managed to hack into the security system of S.H.I.E.L.D., and gain access to the archives. The thing called a diviner is currently located in the state of Vermont, in a small town called Bristol. As it turns out, it's one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret bases." Siri's voice came out as soon as I was alone.
- Bristol it is. Yeah, it's a long way, but we're not turtles.
With these words I left OzCorp, and then transformed the suit, under invisibility flew to the desired place.
The whole trip at average speed took only ten minutes. After landing near the desired location, I went towards the base under invisibility, and simply neutralized all the agents with a single touch.
Three minutes and eight agents later, I found myself near a thick metal door that was as big as the one under Norman Osborn's mansion. It was the perfect training "dummy," for testing my bioelectricity.
Touching the door, I let the bioelectricity into it, and then bounced back. And to my surprise, a couple seconds later, there was a loud explosion, blowing the door into large pieces of scrap metal.
- Huh, it worked! - I exclaimed happily to myself, and then ran to the vault.
There were a lot of weapons and other technological devices. But all of them were useless to me.
Going to the end of the vault, I found a safe, which according to S.H.I.E.L.D. was where the dangerous artifact was kept.
Ripping the door open easily, I immediately saw the golden-colored artifact.
I pulled out a couple of pre-prepared implements. One of them was a pump that was supposed to collect the 'fog' into a special metal flask. The second device was a barrier of sorts. It should create an impenetrable sphere around the artifact, so that the "fog" would not fly in all directions.
After double-checking everything again, I ran my finger over the artifact, and as soon as it began to open, I activated the barrier.
A small area was instantly trapped inside the transparent sphere. As soon as the "fog" began to spread in all directions, the pump started to work and began to collect everything.
This process took place for about fifteen seconds, and eventually the "fog" ended and the artifact closed back up. After waiting for a minute just in case, he removed the barrier, and then taking the flask and the pump in his hands quickly flew to his home....

- Hi Peter!
- Morning, Peter.
- What's up, Peter?
As soon as I showed up at school, I was flooded with greetings. After answering them all, I finally made it to my class.
- Peter, you finally showed up! I missed you! - MJ rushed over to me as soon as she saw me, and then she hugged me.
- Uh, hey, M.J. What are you doing? - I was surprised by her reaction.
- What's what? Expressing my feelings. After all, you did save me, and then you took my first kiss. So you know, Peter, I'm willing to be your girlfriend. - she smiled radiantly.
When I heard her words, I thought I might have short-circuited for a second. I didn't expect her to say that.
- Uh, M.J. I mean, it's nice to know that you like me. But I already have a girlfriend. And you're the one who kissed me, not me..." I tried to reason with her.
- Who are you talking about now? Gwen or Liz? - You know, Peter, the way you're acting, you're not exactly a ladies' man. But I don't mind it. As they say, you can't help your feelings, and I'm okay with you having other girls. - This red-haired beast did not stop, from which I felt that my brain is about to literally melt.
- Haa, why am I doing this? I did nothing special and did not do! - I literally begged myself.
- I'm sorry, MJ, but I can't do this. It wouldn't be nice to Liz and Gwen. - I told her firmly.
- But what if they agree, will you agree to go out with me? - the girl's look told me she wasn't just gonna give up.
- Haa, tell me, MJ. What do you see in me? I saved you, but so would anyone else.
- You don't understand a woman's heart, Peter. You literally pulled me out of the gates of hell in a difficult situation. That was enough for me to fall in love with you instantly. I may regret it in the future, but who doesn't have regrets in life? That's why I want to enjoy every day while I still can. So answer me this, Peter, yes or no?
- Haa, okay, you win. If they say yes, then so be it and I'll be your boyfriend too. - I decided not to break her heart, because I was sure that my girls would never agree to expand their harem. So MJ will soon realize that all her efforts are in vain and will give up....
