31 Chapter 31

Bert didn't know that Trish had made a fool of herself outside. He poured Max a cup of tea and asked, "Max, I heard that you are responsible for transforming the power grid in the city?"

Max was flattered, he held the teacup in both hands, and said both cautiously and proudly: "To be precise, the new power grid was designed by me! I am the best engineer of the Osborn Group!"

Bert asked, "Then why isn't your name on the design?"

Max's momentum suddenly wilted, he put down the cup angrily and didn't say anything

Bert asked, "Did they bully you like that because you're a black man?"

Max was taken aback, does it matter?

Of course, it doesn't matter it has nothing to do with racism at all, it's purely because Max is a weirdo and everyone in Osborn Group's power department avoids him.

Still, that's a good excuse, isn't it?

Bert took a sip of tea and asked again, "Max, have you ever thought about suing the Osborn Group for discriminating against you and stealing your achievements?"

"Sue them?"

Max shook his head bitterly and said, "How could I possibly sue the Osborn Group? They have a professional team of lawyers, and If I sue them, the result will only be that I get fired, and then no one dares to give me a job in their place!"

"The premise is that if no one helps you!" Bert said: "I can help you and provide you with a first-class team of lawyers!"

Max asked puzzled: "You help me? Why do you want to help me?"

"Max, I won't hide it from you, I will help you because I want to lower the stock price of Osborn Group! You are the designer of the new grid, which is very important," Wang said.

Max's eyes widened and he asked excitedly, "Am I that important?"

"Of course, you can significantly affect the stock price of the Osborn Group!"

Bert smiled and said: "As long as you promise to sue the Osborn Group, I will not only provide you with a law team but also give you a lot of money to make your life worry-free in the future! Of course, I also have conditions, that is, unless I agree, there can be no reconciliation, and you must sue to the end!"

"This?"

Max hesitated a bit, but Bert added another fire: "Max, once you sue the Osborn Group, you will become the focus of the whole city, and countless people will flock to interview you!"

"Really?"

Max was excited again, he said: "Will I make the headlines like my good friend Spider-Man?"

Max is Spider-Man's best friend?

Of course not. The two only talked once. The chatterbox Spider-Man said 'you are my friend' casually, and Max, who had no friends, regarded him as his good friend!

Bert smiled and said, "Of course, discrimination against black people is a big deal!"

Max understood and said: "Yes, yes, they discriminated against me because I was black, bullied me, isolated me, they often closed the elevator in advance and didn't let me in, and they..."

Bert quietly listened to Max's complaints with a smile. Not only was he not impatient, but he also complained along with him from time to time. Max was very grateful. Except for Spider-Man, Bert was the only one who could treat him so kindly. !

"For this friend, the lawsuit is settled!"

Max shouted in his heart, um, he unilaterally promoted Bert to his friend!

After Max finished speaking, Bert asked Natasha to come in through the walkie-talkie: "Natalie, come in!"

"BOSS!"

Natasha walked in gracefully, and Max's eyes were a little straight. Seeing Natasha looking over, he lowered his head in inferiority and drank tea silently.

Bert introduced Max to Natasha,

Then he said: "You are solely responsible for this case. You can choose any law firm in the city. I only have one request, to win this lawsuit!" Bert added: "In addition, the bigger the momentum, the better!"

"No problem, racism is no small matter." Natasha smiled and said, "I will find a black lawyer to handle this lawsuit, and I will also donate to some black rights organizations to let them support us!"

"Let them go directly to the Osborn Building to protest!" Bert turned to Max and asked, "By the way, Max, can you give a speech?"

Max raised his head and asked excitedly, "Speech, speaking in front of the public?"

Bert smiled and said: "Yes, we can help you write the speech, but you need to do it yourself! I will find a way to make it broadcast on TV!"

"TV?"

Max became more and more excited, he nodded repeatedly: "I can do it!"

"Well, Natalie, I'll leave everything to you. Money is not a problem. Just report it and I will approve it!"

Bert nodded with satisfaction. Natasha skillfully invited Max to the office aside for further discussion. Before leaving the room, she glanced at Bert resentfully. Is this bastard really a man? Being with such a beautiful woman as herself, how could he never notice her? It's okay to insult my dignity, but you insult my beauty? If it wasn't for the mission, she would have beaten up this guy long ago.

Natasha's resentment, Bert, sensed it and laughed secretly, making you feel good about yourself.

After Natasha and Max left, Bert took out his phone and called James, and asked, "Where is the Osborn Group's human enhancement medicine?"

"The human experiment is about to start, the formal kind!"

James replied: "In addition, they found a pharmaceutical factory to conduct illegal human experiments some time ago, and a lot of homeless people died. Now that the medicine has been improved by them, the probability of problems occurring is only about 20%, but the strengthening effect has also decreased.!"

"With such a high probability of 20%, Osborn worked hard!"

Bert sneered, and he instructed: "Buy the audit supervisor and get a few violent experimenters in."

James smiled: "No problem, there is nothing money can't do in America."

Bert asked again, "What's going on with the shareholders, is there anyone willing to sell their shares?"

James said: "There is a shareholder who agrees to exchange the shares of the Osborn Group for the shares of the Stark Group, but he wants 6% for 5%!"

Bert sneered: "Keep dreaming, don't worry about him, and when the scandal of the Osborn Group appears, we will exchange with him, three percentage is enough!"

"Blood God, I will do as you say!"

James nodded, and he said: "By the way, Blood God, I found the professor you asked me to find before. He is Dr. Samuel Sterns the Cellular biologist at Grayburn College in New York. I used the Blood God Groups name. wanted to hire him, but he didn't agree."

"Samuel Sterns? you don't have to worry about it! James, you did a great job!"

Bert nodded, Samuel Sterns is Mr. Blue from "The Incredible Hulk", a genius, since he doesn't accept the employment, there's an 80% chance he has already contacted the Hulk. It seems that he should visit him in a while.! Hulk's blood, I wonder if it can enhance my strength?

James said: "Blood God, you value me so much, I naturally can't let you down!"

Bert put down the phone with a smile. At this time, there was a knock on the door. After getting permission, Jessica walked in with a heartless face and asked, "Boss, do you need more tea? "

Bert smiled and said, "It's like changing clothes again!"

"You are kidnapping!"

Jessica gritted her teeth, and Bert motioned her to come up to add tea, and then asked, "You can run away, why are you still here?"

"The old woman said that there was 'Chi' in my body. If I dared to escape, the Chi would attack and make me feel unbearable pain!"

Jessica said with hatred as she raised the kettle to add water to Bert's teapot. Her skills were not good.

"The wicked need the wicked to grind!"

Bert laughed, and Jessica glared at him. After adding the water, Jessica hesitated and asked, "Where's that guy?"

Bert took a sip of tea and said, "Forget about him, he won't show up again in the future, don't mention it again!"

"It's best if he doesn't show up!"

Jessica was relieved. She glanced at Bert and said, "You too!"

Bert smiled and said: "Of course, those who owe the debt do not want the creditor to appear, but that is impossible. You can work here with peace of mind. When the money is paid, I will naturally let you leave!"

"I will pay you back for that piece of glass! Although you are trying to trick me, what glass is worth tens of thousands of dollars?"

Jessica gritted her teeth and said, "However, can you ask that old woman to accept Trish as her apprentice? Trish wanted to practice kung fu, she even knelt outside!"

"She knelt?"

Bert was a little surprised. He went out to take a look, and immediately smiled: "She is very smart, she is not ashamed, and she fulfills the requirements."

Jessica boasted: "Trish has always been very smart! She is a child star!"

"Why does she want to learn kung fu so much?" "She doesn't look like a kung fu fanatic," Bert said.

Jessica said: "Because kung fu is the one way to make ordinary people a superhero."

"If you want to be a superhero, the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation. Your sister can try mutation!" Bert said: "The Daredevil, who has been very popular in Hell's Kitchen recently, was mutated by chemical substances when he was a child. That Spider-Man should also be, eh?"

As soon as he mentioned Spider-Man, Bert found Peter Parker taking pictures of Trish at the door. He just graduated from high school and was working as a photographer. In short, he took some interesting pictures to sell to Daily Bugle in exchange for Rewards!

But interesting pictures are not so easy to find, so Peter often sells his pictures to the Daily Bugle - pictures of Spider-Man!

Trish didn't notice anyone was taking pictures. She was a little thirsty, so she pulled the veil off and took a sip of water, then pulled it back up again, and this scene happened to be photographed by Peter!

Jessica didn't notice Bert was distracted. She asked in surprise, "The rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation? Hey, wait, do you know Daredevil and Spider-Man?"

Bert smiled and said, "I also know Tony Stark. He owes me a lot!"

Jessica didn't believe it at all, she sneered: "I had dinner with Bill Gates yesterday!"

Bert laughed and didn't explain much. Jessica glanced at him and asked, "You are so strong, why don't you become a superhero?"

"I'm a vampire, a natural villain. I can't be a superhero. Besides, who stipulates that a strong person must be a superhero?" Bert sneered: "Also, I'm so rich, wouldn't it be better if I want to help people I'll just send my men. Do I need to do it myself?"

Speaking of this, Bert suddenly thought in his heart, 'should he hire a few superheroes as his subordinates, so that it will be more convenient to do things in the future? After all, the future is the age of superheroes. However, it is almost impossible to accept superheroes as subordinates. Superheroes cannot be moved by money!'

Bert thought to himself: 'If that's the case, why not train a few superheroes? These two are quite suitable!'

Jessica Jones in this world has not been spoiled by the purple man, and the training value is very high. As for Trish Walker, her prototype seems to be a superhero.

"Vampire? Then I'm a werewolf!"

Naturally, Jessica didn't know that someone was thinking about her, she sneered: "Also, you are the owner of a small teahouse, why are you pretending to be rich? Sooner or later, your broken teahouse will close down, I have never seen a teahouse make a membership system.!"

Bert smiled but said nothing. With his wealth, it is difficult to close down. Jessica hesitated and asked again, "If you are not a superhero, wouldn't it be a waste of the ability God gave you?"

"Is that what Trish told you?"

Bert said: "Don't be bound by this kind of words, Be yourself, help if you want if you don't want to help, don't do it, the most important thing is to live comfortably, people should live for themselves, not for others."

"Am I living comfortably?" Jessica muttered to herself, and then she said to Bert with disgust: "God gave you the ability, what a waste!"

"With your character, it's a miracle that you can survive until now without being beaten to death."

Bert complained, he waved his hand and said, "Go find that kid outside, ask him to be a sparring partner, two hours a day, high salary!"

Jessica glanced at Peter outside and said disdainfully, "That skinny boy looks like a monkey? I can kill him with one punch!"

Bert sneered: "Who was beaten by a weak old lady before begging for mercy?"

"How can I beg for mercy? And that's because I respect the elderly!" Jessica snorted and walked out angrily.

Trish was overjoyed when she saw her. Jessica nodded at her, opened the door and walked to Peter's side, and said about Bert's appointment!

"Sparring?" Peter was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands: "Well, I'm sorry, I don't like fighting, I still have something to do"

After finishing speaking, Peter turned around and strode away. He was still in a hurry to hand in the photos. He didn't know that this time, the only photo that was selected is the photo of Trish drinking water!

Although Trish is a former star, she was once popular after all. J. Jonah Jameson, the owner of the Daily Bugle, recognized her at a glance and was overjoyed. This is good news!

Ex-star, mentally ill, kneeling in front of the teahouse begging! Perfect!

Bert did not stop Peter from leaving. After all, he knew that Peter would come back because he was a poor man! A noble, poor guy!
