Soon after Coulson left, the aftermath of Tony Stark's disappearance quickly subsided, and the stock price of Stark Industries continued to rise, and everything was developing in the best direction, but under the calm on the surface, there were countless undercurrents, and Tony and Obadi, the two uncles and nephews, began frequent contact and temptation, and no one knew which one would bite the throat of the other person at a critical moment.

And Elbert's life has also returned to peace, going to Osborne Industry twice a day to walk around, teasing the poor guy Colin, and occasionally going to the Imperial Cemetery to see how Laza's little brother is doing, so he is his first batch of subordinates, even if it is a little bit, but if one day he is destroyed for no reason, he will also be very sad.

Since the last time, Norman seems to have forgotten that there is such a person as him, he has no research assignments, and he has never talked to him, only the salary is paid, the experiment application is approved, as long as it is not too demanding, all the way to the green light.

And because Elbert's laboratory basically has no task pressure, it has become a place where everyone wants to go in Osborne Industries, after all, there is no need to do any work, and you can still get a first-line salary, which is naturally not to be said.

In this regard, Elbert did not refuse, and as a result, Norman's secretary came to clear the people in person, otherwise if he continued, the other research departments would not even be able to find a few assistants.

And for these employees who actively joined, Elbert made a note for them, and when he took power in the future, these were the first batch of dismissals, really motivated, who would break their heads and squeeze into his "pension department" with no future.

After paddling for more than two months, Elbert finally met Norman himself, he looked more haggard than a few months ago, retroproliferative torture was worse than expected, which not only changed his appearance, but also made his personality a little off, if you could still feel the warmth from Norman before, now when you see Norman, you will only feel a coldness.

"Chairman, Mr. Colin said you are looking for me, is there anything wrong?" Elbert observed Norman's condition, and had to say that it was very bad, and if it continued, Norman would not even last a month.

"Of course, my dear Dr. Elbert, I neglected you for the sake of research before, and now that my research is complete, I can talk to you, after all, you have been with Osborne Industries for so long, and I don't seem to have gotten to know you well. As soon as Norman spoke, Elbert felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that a person who has been suffering from illness for a long time will have a natural voice, but Norman is not only full of energy, but even hides a bit of sharpness.

"It's still the chairman, your business is more important, I've been doing well in Osborne Industries during this time, you don't have to worry. "The experiment has been successful? Elbert wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, but he didn't expect that Norman was so anxious that he directly injected the original fortinone without any optimization, and his haggard was mostly not from the body, but from the mind, and he was still suffering from the huge side effects of fortin, after getting rid of the genetic disease.

"Oh, that's good, that's good. But I've heard that some people have recently said that you are dissatisfied with my arrangement, not only do you not come to work for a long time, but you also have close contacts with several directors?" Norman smiled with a smile on his face, but he did not see the slightest joy, but a kind of cruelty, the cruelty that would burst out at any time and kill people.

"The chairman misunderstood, Director Carroll and I have only met twice, and there is absolutely no dissatisfaction with you. As Norman's research lengthened and there was little good news, the directors of Osborne Industries began to get uneasy.

Now Osborne Industries is desperate, and if the research fails, they are afraid that they will be doomed, especially after the news of Norman fainting in the laboratory has been revealed several times, and this unease has become even stronger.

After bribing the deputy director of the laboratory, the directors' faces became very ugly, Norman's physical condition was no longer enough to support long-term research, and now Osborne Industries could not find a replacement for him, which meant that the failure of the experiment was only a matter of time.

No one would want to watch themselves lie in a coffin little by little, so when Norman was still struggling with the disease and trying his best to study human fortifiers, they began to contact some capitalists frequently, hoping to take advantage of the current good stock price of Osborne and sell it at a good price.

After learning of this situation, Elbert naturally would not let go, Carol is one of the major shareholders he contacted, Osborne Industries is much smaller than Stark Industries, with a market value of about $30 billion, only one-tenth of Stark Industries.

And unlike Stark Industries, which is in full swing, Osborne is now in a state of turmoil, even if the news has not yet come out, the stock price is still stable, but as an equity exchange, it is naturally impossible to equivalent.

Elbert used the 2 percent Stark Industries stake he had previously received in exchange for a total of 30 percent of the shares from the directors headed by Carroll, which was more than the shares of all the other directors except Norman combined.

With such a large proportion of shares, Elbert doesn't care about the other directors, and when he gets Norman's shares, he can absolutely control Osborne Industries, and he doesn't need to pay attention to other people's opinions like Norman.

It's just that I didn't expect these directors to be so lax, so that Norman heard the rumors, looking at Norman's very playful eyes, Elbert was a little entangled, if Norman did it directly in the office, should he fight back, or kill him directly? This is not in line with his plan.
