Even with Private Angel, Derek could use his ability to control electricity to pull off some tricks that ordinary people simply couldn’t do!
This was the real reason Derek chose Private Angel!
It wasn’t because of that famous quote by a mysterious great man: “Women are like fine wine, the older they are, the mellower they taste”!
However, although Derek had slept with Private Angel, and more than once, they were not in a relationship, but were simply friends with benefits.
After all, Private Angel was not a good woman; she was just someone to have fun with.
Get serious?
Come on.
Private Angel understood this as well, so she never overstepped her bounds in the manor or acted like the mistress of the house.
Instead, she dutifully performed her role as the manor’s Doctor.
Of course, Private Angel’s “deep treatment” was Derek’s exclusive privilege.
For others in the manor, Private Angel only provided normal medical treatment.
Just as Derek had said, it didn’t matter what her private life was like before, but once she entered Osborn Manor, if she dared to act as she used to, the electricity surging through her body wouldn’t be a thrill, but death!
Back to the present.
Derek came to the dining room, casually ordered braised pork belly and steamed sea bass from the butler who stepped forward, and then took his seat at the dining table.
“Brother!”
“Derek.”
“I thought you wouldn’t be coming down for dinner tonight, kiddo~”
At this moment, the Osborn Family was fully gathered at the dining table.
Harry was cutting a piece of steak and greeted Derek.
His gentle adoptive mother, Emily, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, stood up, walked behind Derek, and neatly tucked a napkin into his collar.
Derek nodded to Harry, ignoring Norman’s teasing.
Instead, Derek smiled warmly at his adoptive mother, Emily, who was behind him and could be said to have saved his life and changed his destiny.
He asked with concern, “Mother, how has your health been lately?”
Ever since she gave birth to Harry, his adoptive mother had suffered from a chronic illness, and her body grew weaker by the day.
Even Oscorp, a biotechnology giant, was helpless against it.
A few years ago, she had a relapse and almost lost her life.
It was precisely because of this that, after Derek had mostly developed his abilities a few years ago, he sought out Private Angel, who possessed healing superpowers, and recruited her into Osborn Manor specifically to treat his adoptive mother.
Emily smiled and shook her head.
“I’m fine. With Dr. Elizabeth’s weekly rehabilitation sessions, although I still can’t do strenuous exercise, I’m much better than before.”
“That’s good. I will find a way to fully restore your health as soon as possible, Mother!” Derek felt relieved upon hearing this.
Emily herself didn’t seem to care much.
“Just let nature take its course. Because of you, I’ve been fortunate enough to live until now and see you and Harry grow up. I’m already very satisfied.”
“Yes, Mother, please sit down first. Don’t tire yourself out. Father and I will handle this,” Derek nodded.
Emily nodded, but instead of returning to her own seat, she sat down next to Derek.
The meal Derek ordered had to be freshly prepared and wouldn’t arrive so quickly, so he picked up the remote control and turned on the dining room television.
Watching this made Harry feel a wave of envy.
Under the strict rules of the Osborn Family, he was never allowed to watch television during meals.
But his older brother, Derek, didn’t have to follow this rule.
He could watch whenever he wanted, and their parents never said anything about it.
Because…
his older brother was also one of the creators of the Osborn Family rules…
Rules can’t restrict the people who make them, can they?
[The Daily Bugle brings you today’s top news!] This story is hosted at g.com.
[The first major event to report is that today, Vought International, the World’s only superhero company, officially announced the establishment of its third top-tier modern superhero team, The Seven! This follows the first-generation team of four led by Soldier Boy during World War II, and the superhero team Payback!]
[Stan Edgar, CEO of Vought International, stated that the newly formed team, The Seven, will be led by Homelander, the strongest Supe selected from within Vought. The remaining six spots are open to Supes of all races worldwide. Supes of all backgrounds are welcome to apply actively to become a member of The Seven!]
[The selection for the members of The Seven will officially begin tomorrow. Superhumans who wish to apply, please log on to Vought International’s official website to fill out your superpower information. After Vought’s preliminary screening, those who receive a notification from Vought can proceed to Vought Tower to undergo personal selection by Homelander, the leader of The Seven!]
‘Has Vought’s Seven finally begun?’
Derek’s eyes narrowed slightly as he calculated a plan in his mind.
Meanwhile, on the television, the news broadcast continued…
[Next, we bring you our second major piece of news. Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Industries—formerly the World’s leading arms manufacturer and now the World’s leading clean energy enterprise—announced today that he will appoint his personal assistant, Ms. Pepper Potts, as the new CEO of Stark Industries, granting her full authority to handle all matters concerning Stark Industries!]
[Regarding this power shift at Stark Industries, professionals from various industries have expressed differing views, but most find his actions baffling and incomprehensible!]
[Justin Hammer, CEO of Hammer Industries—Stark Industries’ former rival who became the Military’s new partner after Stark Industries shut down its weapons division—even predicted that he believes Tony Stark has gone completely mad. He claims Stark Industries will soon face its second dark period since shifting its core business two years ago…]
‘The plot of Iron Man 2 has started as well?
It seems Earth’s peaceful days are coming to an end…’
Seeing the second piece of news, Derek sighed softly in his heart.
It would have been fine if it were just The Boys Universe.
But this Universe also included the Marvel Universe.
The Marvel timeline, ever since Iron Man 2, could be said to have never known peace.
The Incredible Hulk, Thor, the Battle of New York, Age of Ultron, the Dark Elves, Infinity War, and so on—it was safe to say that disasters never stopped!
From now on, it would be an era of chaos, but also a new era full of opportunities!
Upon hearing these two pieces of news, not only Derek, but everyone at the dining table turned their attention to the television.
Harry looked at Derek with some excitement.
“Bro, Vought is actually planning to launch a new superhero group! The Seven, that is so cool!”
“Your superpowers are so strong, you could go try out for The Seven, Bro!”
