Chapter 1337 Whispers in the Tomb - An Unexpected Visitor
Harry hesitated for a long time about how to make a decision, and he couldn't really make up his mind. Because he knew very well that his decision was not easy to make.
His father's last words were also inconsistent. The former is to allow himself to continue his career, inherit the family property, and further push the family's strength to the peak. The latter is to let him settle down and live a good life.
As far as his personal character is concerned, he may choose the latter. But out of guilt towards his father and sense of family responsibility, he had to choose the former. Of course, he also knew what a terrible choice the former was. To continue his father's ambition means hurting many people. But as a kind person by nature, he couldn't show such determination and courage at all. That's why he has been so hesitant, not knowing what to do.
This is simply not something that can be decided in a short while. As for such things, Harry finally left here in a way of evasion. After closing the door tightly, Harry escaped from this office as if he was running away. He even ignored his secretary who was busy at work, and even forgot everything in the company.
At this time, all he wanted was to meet his father. And of course, what he can see now is just a cold tombstone.
Five days after that night, the day old Osborne was buried. Because there is no body, Harry can only replace his father with a stone sculpture. Looking at the closed coffin and the tombstone erected on it, Harry remained silent for a long time.
He wanted to ask the doubts in his heart to this cold tombstone, but he knew that this cold tombstone could not answer his question. His question can only be answered in his heart in the end. Such behavior can't improve his inner entanglement at all, so he still looks bitter and depressed.
Seeing his expression, the little spider hesitated for a moment, but still came up and patted his shoulder intimately.
"Sorry, Harry. There are some things you can't change. Let go!"
"Thanks, Peter. I know I can't change anything, but right now, I want to be alone. I want to have a good chat with my dad!"
Harry's request was very reasonable, so Harry, who came all the way to attend the funeral, didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and walked towards the outside of the cemetery. At this time, Skye came up.
"Hadley's grave is placed next to it, and I have already placed the statue you want. Do you need to go and see it?"
"I'll check it out later.
But now, Daisy. I want to stay here a little longer. So can you give me some time? "
"Of course. I'm sorry, Harry. But you gotta pull yourself together..."
With those words in his mouth, Skye hugged Harry slightly, and left here in the same way. For a moment, only Harry and the tombstone in front of him were left in the huge tomb. At this moment, Harry could no longer bear the confusion and struggle in his heart, and knelt down in front of his father's tombstone.
"Father, what should I do? How should I choose?"
In such an environment, it was naturally impossible for anyone to answer him. So he can only continue to tell everything in his heart.
"You left those things to me. You want me to inherit everything in the family. I know, I understand your painstaking efforts. But have you ever considered whether I can carry all this. Father, this weight is really important It's too heavy. I really can't do it like you, I can't do it."
"Tell me, tell me, father! What am I supposed to do?"
"Maybe you should find a partner!"
Harry thought that he would not get any reply to his question, but to his surprise, at this moment, a voice actually answered him. Naturally, Harry wouldn't naively think that this was his father's apparition. So immediately, he yelled at the shadow in the tomb.
"Who is it? Who is playing tricks there? Get out!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't say it's pretending to be a ghost. I just don't want my whereabouts to be discovered. As for hearing what you said, it was just an accident. I think I should be able to get you Forgive me, Mr Osborne?"
Looking at the existence that came out of the shadows, even though Harry had already had a lot of ideas before, he couldn't help being surprised at this moment.
"Your Excellency, why are you?"
No matter what kind of assumptions Harry had made before, he never thought that Tony Stark would appear in front of him. Seriously, he's starting to see things wrong with his own eyes. But he knew very well that he was the only one who could possess such a steel armor. And when he unloaded his helmet and showed his true face in front of Harry's eyes, Harry couldn't doubt his identity even more.
He no longer doubted Tony's identity, but he began to doubt his purpose. No matter how you look at it, a dignified president actually used this method to secretly sneak into Osborn's family tomb. His purpose is questionable. So immediately, he asked Tony warily.
"President Stark, can you tell me the reason why you are here? I remember very clearly that I should not have sent you any invitations. Is it true that the United States now intends to start with the president and take the lead in destroying Is it the law that private land is sacred and inviolable?"
"Don't make it so serious, little one. I didn't mean it against you. So I don't want you to do it against me, either. That wouldn't be a good thing for any of us, would it?"
While asking back, Tony came to Harry's side. He didn't tell Harry directly why he came, but looked at old Osborne's tombstone and said to him with some nostalgia.
"Your father is a powerful guy. Do you know? Ever since I took over my father's company, I have known that Norman Osborn is powerful. His methods are fierce and his actions are swift and resolute. As an opponent in business, It was really a very tormenting thing. I really don’t know how I survived the initial period.”
"But he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Hearing the topic shift to his father, Harry also slowly calmed down the anger on his face. Anyway, this was in front of his father's tombstone, and he didn't want to have any conflicts with Tony Stark in front of his father. So he could only respond to Tony's words.
But such a response made Tony raise his eyebrows immediately, and then gave a signature answer.
"Of course, I'm Tony Stark. How could I be defeated by others!"
Such a pompous answer really made it difficult for him to make friends, but Harry had no intention of making friends with him. So he didn't care about the tone of his speech.
"Then, the omnipotent Stark. It's still the same question, why are you here. I think I need a reason! And you should be able to give me this reason."
"Of course, son. Reasons. My specialty is finding reasons for myself."
Grinning, Tony explained it to Harry.
"I'm here for two reasons. One is to pay tribute to your father, anyway. It was your father who helped me when I first took over the country. I have to thank him for that Just like me, your father is the kind of guy who can't be a man. He has offended many people, especially recently he has offended mutants. It makes it difficult for me to appear as president in this fair place, to express condolences to him. So I can only use this method, in a private capacity, to see him for the last time. I think this reason should be sufficient."
"Of course, if this is the case, I will be very grateful for your kindness."
Hearing Tony's words, Harry's face turned pale, but his words still gave people a feeling of vigilance.
"However, I remember very clearly. My father once said that you kicked him out of the Sky Hammer Bureau. If you hadn't crossed the river and demolished the bridge, he would have already achieved his goal by now!"
"It's your father's fault, lad!" At this point, it was obviously impossible for Tony to admit that it was his fault. So he immediately refuted unceremoniously. "Do you know what your father's biggest shortcoming is? That is his ambition. He is like a greedy boa constrictor. He doesn't care how big his appetite is. He just blindly wants to plunder everything in front of him. Some It's obviously something he shouldn't and can't intervene. But he just did that. I can't blame me. After all, it's not the first time I've helped him deal with the aftermath. I gave him a chance, but he himself It's just not cherished!"
Tony was blaming his father, but Harry had no way to refute his accusation. Because he knew that Tony was right. My own father was an ambitious man with unrestrained desires. If it weren't for this, everything that is happening now would not be happening.
But, all of this has become a thing of the past. Everything had also been declared definitively over with his father's death. Under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable to pursue something from a dead person. So in order to change the subject, Harry immediately said to Tony.
"You said you have another reason, so what is the other reason?"
"Of course, there is another reason!" Speaking of this reason, Tony immediately straightened his face, because for him, this was the main purpose of his trip.
"I'm here this time to discuss cooperation with you. It's about what your father left you!"
