Chapter 141 The Lie and the Funeral

"I'm sorry, Harry, we couldn't save your father." Li Jie first said to Harry's puzzled gaze.

Harry was very emotional, he grabbed Li Jie by the collar and shouted. "Tell me, what happened. What happened to you."

"Don't get excited about Harry. Don't get excited." Li Jie patted Harry's hand, signaling him not to get too excited.

"I'm sure you've read the news these days about Hell's Kitchen."

"Yes, I saw it. You go to show your power and fight with a group of ninjas. Ha~ But what does this have to do with my father!" Harry's tone was still not very calm.

"Because Shouhehui plans to resurrect an evil god named Beast." Li Jie continued.

"And the beast possessed Peter."

"Uncle Norman, your original life is coming to an end because of your family's genetic disease. But he can't let you go, so you signed a contract with a demon to extend his life."

"It's impossible." Harry shook his head. He couldn't believe that there were demons in this world, and he even couldn't believe that his father would sign a contract with a demon.

"Listen to me." Li Jie signaled Harry to continue listening to him. "Everything he did was to be able to develop an antidote to the virus in your body."

"The devil forced Uncle Norman to do things he didn't want to do, such as killing Peter." What Li Jie started to say now has elements of lies.

When it comes to lying, the hardest things to uncover are the half-truths.

"Because the devil longs for the power of the beast." Li Jie deduced this himself, but it was true by mistake. "Driven by the devil, Uncle Norman was forced to become the devil's minion."

Harry looked at Norman's body on the ground and couldn't help but knelt beside him and wept.

"But he was unwilling to be the devil's pawn, he resisted the devil's control. He tried to break free from the devil's shackles, and helped us kill the evil beast." Peter couldn't help turning his back when he said this.

Lying is not something he is good at at all, and he is afraid of showing his flaws.

Although when Li Jie discussed this statement with him at the beginning, he didn't particularly agree with it. But Peter didn't have any better ideas either.

And since Norman is dead, there is no need to pursue many things, otherwise how should I face Harry in the future?

Li Jie didn't care about Peter's actions, and continued talking on his own. "Then the demon found out, and the demon descended on the earth."

"So you want to tell me that my father was killed by a demon?" Harry still had disbelief in his tone, but he was not as resistant as he was at the beginning.

"Yes, Uncle Norman rebelled against that demon. He didn't want to be that demon's puppet." Li Jie tried to keep his face expressionless, so as to increase his credibility.

"In the end he was killed by that demon. We are not the opponents of the demon. We can only watch him leave the earth." Among the people present at that time, they knew that the green goblin was Norman Osborn. I'm afraid there is only Li Jie alone, so this lie is not so easy to be exposed.

Harry may not be able to find those people of the Supreme Master to verify what happened at that time, they have disappeared without a trace.

And at that time the only other person who witnessed the battle was Iron Man Tony Stark. The Osborne Group and the Stark Industries Group are themselves competitors.

And Iron Man didn't know that the Green Goblin was Norman Osborn at the time, and Harry probably wouldn't ask him.

As long as these two groups of people don't speak out, then only Peter and Li Jie will know the truth. Now that Peter doesn't speak, Li Jie will say what he says.

Li Jie didn't know whether this was right or wrong. He didn't expect Harry to bear the heavy burden that his father was a demon. Both he and Peter were afraid that the truth would break Harry.

They chose to use lies to cover up the truth of the fact, maybe they will tell Harry the truth slowly later, but not now.

Seeing how Harry was holding Norman's body and crying bitterly, neither of them dared to say anything.

"If what you said is true, then I will be at odds with all demons!" Harry gritted his teeth, his anger tinged with sadness.

The weather on the day of Norman Osborn's burial was not very good. New York ushered in the first snow in November, and fine snowflakes fell from the sky on the day of the funeral.

Peter, Harry and Li Jie are all coffin bearers. There is also a middle-aged man who is a distant relative of the Osborne family and has a good relationship with Norman.

It was Harry's request that Peter and Li Jie became coffin bearers, and the two could not refuse this request. Especially when Harry was so vulnerable.

When the last white rose was thrown into the grave, Harry began to scoop up the first shovel of overburden. The brown soil slowly covered the black coffin.

This is the private cemetery of the Osborne family. Harry didn't stop from the first shovel to the last.

Now that New York has officially entered winter, he was sweating profusely in the cold outdoors.

He was going to be Norman Osborn's last leg of the journey, and he didn't care how hard it was.

"Harry, take a break." When Harry covered the last piece of soil, only Li Jie and Peter were left waiting for him in the biting cold wind.

The other workers started to do the final processing, and Harry couldn't get involved in this part, so Li Jie forcibly dragged him away.

"Thank you, thank you for staying by my side." The corners of Harry's eyes were a little red. I don't know if it was because of being blown by the cold wind for a long time, or there were other reasons.

"Don't be silly, we are good brothers." Peter gave Harry a hug while talking, and then Li Jie hugged Harry and patted him on the back.

"Cheer up Harry, you still have a huge business empire to manage. Don't let your father's hard work go to waste." Li Jie signaled Harry to cheer up.

Norman may have been prepared to retreat a long time ago. Jen Kailin's experiment in the Osborne Group actually did not escape Norman's surveillance.

But Norman let it go, because this genetic sequence was the antidote he had dreamed of. He knew that unless he used a special method, it would be difficult to escape Stannis' control over him.

So the way was paved for Harry long ago, and all the previous secret experiments were destroyed by him. All data will be deleted.

He removed any stain that might damage Osborne's group, because he knew that Harry was not him, and Harry couldn't play with so many ghosts, at least not now.

He is still too young and needs more experience.

Norman left only the successful part of the gene sequence, and also indicated in the letter that he needed the assistance of two friends.

Because he knew that neither Li Jie nor Peter would refuse Harry's request at this time, and they would definitely help Harry.

"Don't blame me for repeating the same old tune, Jason. I need your help, and I want to hire you as my special advisor. I can't handle the guys on the board alone." Harry cheered up and brought up the invitation again.

Li Jie struggled a little in his heart. "Well, I promised your father I'd help you. But I don't want to be full-time, you know. Occasionally consulting or something."

"Thank you, buddy." Harry lightly hit Li Jie on the shoulder with a punch, thanking Li Jie for his support in this way.

"And your brother, thank you very much." Harry also hit Peter on the shoulder.

"Oh, don't be too intimate. I still have Gwen, why don't you go and see Mary Jane? She was crying outside just now, and I persuaded her to go back first." Peter said with a smile .
