Chapter 69 The Crippled Electro Man Fooled by Toby
Furthermore, Harry himself did not actually approve of using the Super Spider in the war, because it would cause too many deaths.
This is something Ha doesn't want to see.
As for his father's death... well... I guess it was fate.
If his father had only intended to use the Super Spider to cure his family's disease, he wouldn't have locked it up and left with the original formula. Instead, he chose to use the Super Spider in the war...
Moreover, now that Peter knows his situation, he has assured him that he will crack the Super Spider's code, thereby curing his family's hereditary disease.
Toby even lent him his precious symbiote, so how could he possibly have the face to hate anyone in the Parker family because of his father's death?
Just as Harry was experiencing a mix of emotions, Toby, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
"Found it."
Harry stopped too, looking puzzled. "Found what?"
Toby pointed to a bald, bespectacled, and dejected-looking old black man below: "Him, Max Dillon, one of the few people with access to the Osborn Corporation's secret underground experimental layer..."
Harry looked in the direction Toby was pointing, raising an eyebrow:
"Him? Really? I don't even know anything about the underground experimental level or the access restrictions, how could this unassuming guy know?"
Toby shook his head:
"Don't let his pitiful appearance fool you. He actually designed the entire electrical system for your Osborn Building. It's just that the credit for his work was stolen by those bloodsuckers on the Osborn board of directors. He's just been used as a transparent ox-bearer..."
Upon hearing this, Harry couldn't help but feel indignant on Max Dillon's behalf, and said resentfully:
"He designed the entire building's electrical system, and it's located on the ground floor? Those damned capitalists, Osborn, they're inhuman!"
Toby gave Harry a strange look:
"Have you forgotten that you were only kicked out of the decision-making body by the board of directors? You're still Osborne's largest shareholder, so you're Osborne's biggest capitalist..."
Harry coughed awkwardly, "Ahem, one thing at a time. After all, I've never truly been in charge of Osborn Corporation, otherwise I would definitely have made good use of someone like Max Dillon."
"Really...really?"
"Of course it's true... wait, no!"
Harry answered instinctively, only to suddenly realize that it didn't sound like Toby's voice. Looking down, he saw Max Dillon staring at him on the ceiling.
Harry was immediately startled: "When did you find us?!"
Max Dillon scratched his head: "I noticed it from the beginning of your speech. That gentleman deliberately lowered his voice, but I didn't hear it. However, you didn't lower your voice..."
"Didn't I lower my voice?" Harry turned to Toby, who seemed completely unsurprised, and twitched his lips. "Brother, why didn't you remind me...?"
Toby fell from the ceiling and shrugged.
"It's actually very difficult for a person to teach another person, but a lesson in action often teaches you everything in one go. Plus, there's no threat involved, and it's a good opportunity for you to discover your shortcomings, isn't that great?"
That makes a lot of sense...
Harry also fell from the ceiling, looking at Max Dillon who seemed completely unafraid of them, and asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of us?"
Max Dillon quickly shook his head, his previously dejected expression turning excited, and pulled a picture of Spider-Man from his pocket:
"Of course I'm not afraid of you guys, I'm your biggest fan! I don't know why you're wearing a different color today, but I recognized you immediately, you must be Spider-Man!"
Then, Max Dillon looked at Toby, his tone even more excited: "I just didn't expect Spider-Man to be alone. You have an older brother. Are you part of a whole Spider-Family? Can I join your Spider-Family?"
Harry was taken aback, and quickly tried to explain, "Actually, I'm not a spider..."
But Toby slapped Harry on the shoulder and Max Dillon on the shoulder, interrupting Harry and laughing at Max Dillon:
"That's right, you're correct. We are from the Spider Family, and we're here today for an important mission. This mission requires your assistance; you are our key, Max. So, are you willing to help us accomplish this mission?"
Max Dillon, who grew up in a loving family, never received any care or attention from anyone after entering society. Now, he was recognized by his idol, which made him so excited that he trembled all over!
"I'm willing! I'm willing to do anything for the Spider-Family, Spider-Man, and Spider-Great!"
"Well done, Max, you didn't lose any points!" Toby patted Max on the shoulder with satisfaction. "We need to go to the underground testing area of the Osborne Building now. Can you take us there?"
Upon hearing this, Max Dillon hesitated for a moment, because it was clearly a very risky move that could cost him his job or even land him in jail.
But seeing the trust in Spider-Man's eyes, Max Dillon gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and decided to go all in: "I'm willing! I'll take you there right now!"
"Follow me!"
With that, Max Dillon strode confidently toward the elevator leading to the underground experimental floor, a ride that only authorized personnel could take.
Harry, who hadn't said a word the whole time, glanced at Max, who looked like he was ready to die, and then at Toby, his expression somewhat strange.
He only just realized that his brother was not only incredibly powerful, but also exceptionally good at conning people!
A perfectly good programmer was completely fooled in less than a minute!
Fortunately, I wasn't one of those people who got scammed!
With Max leading the way, Toby and Harry's descent to the Osborne underground experimental level went exceptionally smoothly.
Along the way, Max even professionally sabotaged all the surveillance cameras, ensuring that neither the elevator nor the underground laboratory cameras captured Toby and Harry.
This amazed Harry, who asked Max how he could be so skilled.
Max proudly stated that he was the one who connected and maintained the surveillance lines, so he was naturally very familiar with them!
In fact, he was in charge of everything related to electricity in the entire Osborne Building!
Hearing this, Harry couldn't help but feel sorry for Max.
This guy is only getting a basic salary, but he's doing the work of an entire team!
What kind of top-tier beast is this!
This further solidified Harry's determination to eliminate the Osborn board of directors. These incompetent capitalists should have been hanged on streetlights back in the last century!
