Such an iconic look allowed Derek, even with just a fleeting glance, to immediately recognize who the man riding the motorcycle was!
‘Holy shit!
Winter Soldier!’
Derek exclaimed internally, and his initial sleepiness cleared up quite a bit because of it.
‘If the person riding the motorcycle is Winter Soldier, could the people in the car driving right in front of Winter Soldier be Iron Man’s parents?’
‘It couldn’t be that much of a coincidence, could today happen to be the date when Iron Man’s parents were attacked by the Winter Soldier?’
Derek turned his head to glance at the clock date in the car: December 16, 1991, at 22:25…
‘Well, it really is the death date of Howard Stark reported in the movie!’
For a moment, the expression on Derek’s little face was very complicated.
He had only just time-traveled, and he already encountered two major events: the birth of Homelander and the death of Iron Man’s parents.
Could he really be the Chosen One?
‘Since I’ve run into it, then…
I’ll go to sleep first~’
At this thought, Derek closed his eyes and fell into an infant-like sleep.
What?
You think Derek is going to save Iron Man’s parents?
Stop joking, he is just a newborn baby now.
Even if he was a Superhumans who had been injected with V5, it would still be impossible to rescue Howard and his wife from the hands of the Winter Soldier!
Besides, even if he could save them, exposing himself as a result and putting himself in HYDRA’s line of sight would not be a wise choice.
Don’t look at how powerful Osborn Family seems to outsiders; in front of HYDRA, whose power spans the globe, it is just a slightly larger grasshopper that cannot jump around much at all!
Therefore, Derek’s best choice was to forget about it as a minor episode where nothing happened…
Right now, his most important task was to have a good sleep and then welcome his life as the young master of Osborn!
18 years later…
In 2010, in New York, in a luxurious manor on the Upper East Side.
Buzz——————
The sound of electric current resounded over the manor, but the maids in the manor did not show any surprise or panic, seemingly long used to it.
As the Purple Electricity cut across the sky, a figure landed in the manor.
“Young Master!”
“Young Master!”
…
As the Purple Electricity on Derek dissipated, the maids trimming the flower branches and lawn in the manor all bowed slightly toward Derek, secretly peeking at Derek’s heart-throbbing face.
Derek was already used to this.
Having come to this World for eighteen years, ever since he grew out of that wrinkled newborn state, he hadn’t been ugly for even a single day.
And most humans were superficial about looks, so from childhood to adulthood, Derek could be said to have grown up in ‘love’.
As for what kind of love specifically, well, never mind that~
After blinking his charming peach-blossom eyes at the maids, Derek carried the suitcase and walked straight toward the direction of the study in Osborn Manor.
Click————
In the study, Norman, who was originally having a remote meeting with the board of directors, was suddenly interrupted by the door of the study being pushed open.
Norman didn’t even need to look up to know who had come.
In the entire Osborn Manor, besides Derek, who else would dare to enter his study without knocking?
Norman helplessly supported his forehead: “Derek, I’m still in a meeting…”
“Then hold it next time, I have more important things to tell you~” Derek shrugged, walked indifferently to Norman’s desk, turned the laptop around, and aimed the camera at himself.
With a cordial smile, he smiled at the online meeting’s directors: “Dear uncles and aunts, I’m delaying a little of your time, you don’t mind, do you?”
“We don’t mind, of course we don’t mind. Young Master Derek, your and Mr. Norman’s matters are urgent; we are not in a hurry at all!”
“Ah yes, yes, yes, what we were discussing is not urgent, not urgent at all!”
“Ah, I suddenly remembered that my grandmother is pregnant with her eighth child and calling me back, so I’ll leave first!”
“Right, right, my parents are getting married today and asked me to be the host, so I’m withdrawing first!”
…
The directors in the online meeting, seeing Derek appear, acted as if they had seen a ghost, one by one nervously using lame excuses to rapidly log off collectively!
Seeing this, Derek’s smile became even more brilliant: “Look, Dad, they have no objections.”
Norman: …
“They’d have to dare to have objections first. The grave of the one who had objections last time probably already has grass growing on it…”
Although he said that, the satisfaction and pride in Norman’s eyes looking at Derek could simply not be hidden.
Derek casually said indifferently: “Who told that bastard Robert to collude with certain shareholders of the company and try to privately turn our company’s research project into a weapon of war with the Military!”
“What’s most hateful is that these bastards and the Military also vainly tried to shift all these blames onto you and shake your position. Making his private plane crash into the Pacific Ocean and giving him a quick death was already me being kind-hearted!”
“If you hadn’t stopped me back then, none of those shareholders he contacted would have escaped now; they’d all have to go accompany that ungrateful idiot Robert!”
Hearing this, Norman also had some lingering fear in his eyes: “Yeah, it’s a good thing you discovered in time back then that Robert was secretly contacting the Military. Otherwise, if we really let that guy Robert cooperate with the Military on the Super Spider project and use it for war, then the person they pushed out to take the blame would definitely have been me!”
“Mmhmm, so I’m saying, you should have just let us electrocute all these traitors to death back then!” Derek leaned against the desk and huffed lightly.
Norman shook his head and smiled: “You brat, why are you so heavy on the intent to kill? They are already scared out of their wits and dare not have any small thoughts anymore. Sometimes, people scared out of their wits like this can be better utilized by us!”
Regarding this, Derek had no objections either: “Suit yourself. Anyway, the company is yours; you can toss and turn it however you want. I’ll just be responsible for acting as my prodigal second-generation young master.”
But to Derek’s words, Norman frowned and disagreed:
“What do you mean the company is mine? The company is ours! Oscorp didn’t achieve its current status solely because of me; a huge part of the credit goes to you as well!”
“If it weren’t for you decisively buying out the dumped shares of Stark Industries scattered on the market twice—when Tony Stark went missing two years ago and when he returned—Oscorp wouldn’t have made a huge profit from it, nor could it have shaken off the dilemma of the company’s capital chain shortage after the Military withdrew its investment, instead pushing the Osborn Group to a higher level!”
“I’ve already drawn up my will. When I die, all the shares of Oscorp will belong to you alone. The future of Oscorp belongs to you, my son!”
Speaking to the end, Norman’s emotions were somewhat agitated.
But Derek frowned: “A will? Has your illness gotten worse again?”
