People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.
If someone offends me one foot, I offend someone hundreds of miles away.
This has always been Baker's code of conduct. George Stacey respected him very much, so Baker also gave George Stacy preferential treatment.
at this time.
The originally empty seat next to Baker was occupied.
Osborne!
Norman Osborne, who has some gray hair and looks a little out of sorts, but hides it very well, trying to cover up his fragility, and the businessman who is wearing a suit and leather shoes, has blond hair, and looks a little immature Elite Harry Osborn.
After Norman Osborne saw Baker, he stretched out his right hand when he was still five steps away: "Mr. Morton, long time no see."
Baker smiled, stood up, and shook hands: "Mr. Osborne, long time no see."
Osborne's position on Wall Street is somewhat awkward.
cause.
When Norman Osborne was in his prime, Osborne was enjoying himself with Wall Street. However, since Norman Osborne first experienced widowhood, and then experienced a family genetic disease, he has been living in the Osborne Manor for many years, conducting Osborne remotely. After the bioindustry, Osborne slowly withdrew from the small circle of Wall Street's first echelon.
Although Osborne's strength is still on the front line, his influence is on the verge of withdrawing from the circle.
therefore……
Osborne knew a little less than others knew.
As for Baker and Osborne, they were just acquaintances. Baker was an investor. Although Baker's investment home was not in the Federation, he still dealt with several companies under Osborne's name at the beginning.
Speaking of which, Baker's first real source of capital was earned from Osborne Bio-Industrial through a buy-low-sell-high operation.
and……
Baker's eyes fell on Harry Osborn, who was trying hard to pretend to be an elite behind Norman Osborn, but still couldn't hide his embarrassment and smiled.
Speaking of which, this should be the second meeting between Baker and Harry. Thinking back to the last time they met, it seemed that Baker was holding a sniper rifle in the Osborn Biological Building, preparing to kill the employees of Stark Industries opposite. .
It seems to be some years old.
Baker originally wanted to ask Norman Osborne why he came here to join in the fun instead of staying in his own manor to receive blood treatment, but the people who stood up in the SVVIP seats in front suddenly understood.
"My lord..."
"sit!"
Baker raised his eyebrows and sat in the SVVIP seat. Lockheed, who had a slightly fanatical expression on his face, immediately sighed and sat down again honestly.
no way.
Anyone who sees his cousin turning into an angel and going to heaven will worship the person who created this miracle extremely.
No.
During the entrance half an hour ago, the management of the opera house saw Baker bringing Barbara in and immediately notified an employee of their big boss, Mr. Oscar Morgan.
Half an hour later.
Oscar Morgan came over with Anthony Lockheed.
Originally, the management of the Opera House planned to upgrade Baker's seat, but Baker refused. When Lockheed and Morgan arrived, they happened to have just taken their seats.
Baker is very light on the ranking of this position.
Again.
No one dares to ignore those who are powerful, even if they are sitting in the corner.
Those without strength will be selectively ignored if they sit in the C position.
only……
When Lockheed and Morgan turned around and sat down again, their eyes glanced at Osborn, and their eyes moved slightly.
Nothing else.
They have known about Norman Osborn's physical condition for a long time, so they have been thinking about when to swallow Osborne Bio Industries, but now, it seems that this decision needs to be reselected based on the development of the situation. .
Osborne, who was next to him, was moved when he saw this. He always felt that at that moment, there seemed to be two tigers named Lockheed and Morgan. His gaze suddenly changed. There was a moment of hesitation.
Why?
Osborne resisted the physical discomfort, his mind turned around, and he seemed to have thought of something. He coughed weakly, pushed out his son Harry Osborne, and said to Baker: "Mr. Morton, This is my son, Harry Osborne."
Norman Osborne also knows that the Osborne bio that he was so proud of is being targeted. There is no movement at the moment, just because Wall Street is afraid of him, the old tiger who brought Osborne to the top. Once After he died, even he himself would not believe that his son Harry, who was somewhat weak in character, could hold on to Osborne Bio-Industry.
In the afternoon, Norman Osborn learned through channels that Lockheed, Morgan, and Stark were all attending the show. Although he didn't know what the situation was, his sixth sense told him, It seemed like he needed to come over and take a look.
at the moment?
Norman Osborne seemed to know what his sixth sense was telling him.
Baker looked at Harry Osborn who was pushed out by Norman Osborn, and just nodded and said "Nice young man", but Gwen behind him blinked and looked at Harry. Greeted: "Good evening, Harry."
Harry, who had not dared to look around since he came in, heard a familiar figure. When he looked, there was a smile on his face that only people of his age could see: "Gwen."
Baker smiled and said, "Gwen, do you know her?"
Gwen nodded and said to Baker: "Uncle Morton, it was Harry who helped me get into Osborne as an intern."
Beck smiled.
If he had to choose between Peter Parker or Harry Osborn, Baker would choose Harry Osborn.
By the way...
Not only was the Stacey family killed by Peter Parker, it seemed that the Osborn family was also killed by that little spider.
Baker changed his mind, smiled, and said to Norman Osborne: "Mr. Osborne, I think young people don't like to sit with us. What do you think?"
Said.
Without waiting for Norman Osborne's reply, Baker said directly to Karen Stacy: "Karen, make way for the young man, what do you think?"
Karen smiled and said, "Of course."
Norman Osborn only has one child, Harry, and Harry is the only one who will inherit the Osborne Group. Although Karen will not interfere with Gwen's choice, if there is a chance, why not.
So the positions were switched.
Two young men sat in the back. It was obvious that Harry's mature expression gradually left. After all, Harry Alexander was with his father.
Of course.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a black and white little spider lying on Gwen's chest that moved and was clearly a living creature, Harry's expression could still look younger.
Not long after.
The musical begins.
The musical ended two hours later.
Ten p.m.
Apartment 820 Fifth Avenue.
Come in.
After changing her shoes, Barbara said to Beck who was closing the door behind him: "You want to bring Harry and Gwen together?"
Baker smiled: "You can bring Master Xin and Natasha together, why can't I?"
Barbara shrugged: "I didn't say no."
Baker said, "So there's a problem there?"
Barbara shook her head: "No problem, I'm just curious as to why you would do this."
Baker walked towards the bar: "There are so many reasons. I just thought of it and did it."
What does it mean to do whatever you want?
This is.
Barbara blinked: "Are you worried about Gwen and Peter...?"
Baker chuckled and took a sip of bourbon: "Am I that boring?"
Barbara thought for a moment and nodded.
The Baker of the past might not have been so boring. After all, the Baker of the past was either killing people or on the way to kill them. Now the Baker is a little addicted to video games. If this is not boring, Barbara can't think of it anymore. What kind of behavior can correspond to the boredom of Beck who is now addicted to video games.
Baker shook his head: "Speaking of which, Harry once did me a favor."
Barbara blinked.
Baker took a sip of bourbon and told Barbara about the time he assassinated a senior Stark Industries official at Osborn Bio-Industry. If Harry hadn't happened to swipe his card to enter the elevator at that time, he would have had to climb a lot. of stairs.
and……
I heard that after that assassination, it was no coincidence that Harry Osborn, who was preparing to have a showdown with his father, went to the company for the first time, and this incident once again left a mark in Harry Osborne's heart. A thorn in the side, thinking that Harry was a real disaster.
Baker said: "I'm just giving you a chance. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with me."
Barbara said: "I think after tonight, Harry, who is studying in London, will transfer to Midtown University."
Baker shrugged.
Love is something that cannot be slapped, and no one in Manhattan knows that Gwen Stacy is his Baker Morton's unofficial goddaughter.
Use force?
Ah.
Baker felt that someone would take care of Osborne Bio-Industry without him having to do it himself.
Moreover……
Among these little brats, who has the courage to take action against the Spider Queen Gwen Stacy? Do you want your bed to be crawling with little spiders when you sleep, or do you want to be eaten alive by countless spiders?
the next day.
morning.
Baker looked thoughtfully at Barbara, who was frying eggs and bacon behind the bar, and said, "What do you think about hiring a nanny?"
I am pregnant. Although there is very little fumes from Western food, there is still some.
Barbara turned around and spread the eggs on Baker's plate: "Are you concerned about me, Mr. Baker Morton?"
"It's obvious," Baker said.
Barbara said, "Forget it, I hate having other women in the house."
Baker nodded without saying anything. The worst thing to do is to restore the exclusive seats at the steakhouse next door starting tomorrow. Eating there will be fast and convenient without having to clean up.
Jingle Bell!
While Baker was thinking this, the phone rang.
London.
