Today was the weekend.
Gwen Stacy reminded Levi again that the Osborn Group had prepared a banquet, inviting many New York celebrities.
For Norman Osborn, this was, firstly, to show his determination to run for office, and secondly, to seek sponsorship…
To this end, Norman Osborn even specially prepared a treasure, a very valuable necklace, to attract attention.
"Dr. Otto was also invited by the Osborn Group."
"Dr. Otto?"
Levi nodded. Before leaving work, he proactively went to find Dr. Otto.
"Otto."
Levi hugged the incredibly busy Dr. Otto.
Dr. Otto was a very pure person; a scientist like him held more noble ideals, unlike a capitalist like Norman Osborn.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the two went their separate ways.
But their lives were also completely different.
Norman Osborn achieved great success.
Dr. Otto, however, remained poor; if Levi hadn't helped him, he might not even have had anyone investing in his laboratory now.
Therefore, he was always very grateful to Levi.
Levi naturally trusted him greatly, with key technologies only held by a few of them.
"The Osborn Group invited you to attend the banquet."
After exchanging pleasantries, Levi said.
Indeed, Dr. Otto was visibly uncomfortable.
"I declined for you."
So, Levi said.
"Thank you."
Dr. Otto sighed, "I don't want to see Norman in his glory."
This made Levi smile and pat his arm: "Otto, you are much more glorious than him now. Who doesn't know your name?"
These words made Dr. Otto very happy: "This is all thanks to you."
"No, no, no."
Levi shook his head: "Without you, it wouldn't have reached this level."
The two exchanged some commercial flattery, and Dr. Otto's mood improved significantly.
Success clears many obstacles.
Some conflicts, as Dr. Otto also achieved success, he no longer valued them as much.
Let it all pass.
If Dr. Otto were still destitute now… then he certainly wouldn't be so magnanimous.
Instead, he would believe that his misery was all caused by Norman Osborn.
One can only say that the taste of success is indeed wonderful.
In the evening, Levi was sandwiched in the middle of the back seat by Eve and 2B, while Swift sat in the passenger seat.
bumblebee drove steadily, and soon arrived outside the hotel owned by the Osborn Group.
By this time, many people had already arrived; as Gwen said, they were all New York celebrities.
And each one brought a female companion, arriving in luxury cars.
bumblebee among them… seemed a bit conspicuous.
It was the only yellow one, and it wasn't a luxury car, but… a Camaro?
The gazes of passersby made bumblebee feel a sense of disdain.
It even wanted to drive around and transform into a Rolls-Royce.
"I should have brought a female companion."
Seeing this situation, Levi immediately felt some regret.
He should have invited Gwen earlier.
To this, Swift calmly arranged: "Boss, Eve will accompany you inside."
"Eve, remember to protect Boss well. 2B and I will observe from outside."
Here it was, a female companion.
For the banquet, they had specifically changed into formal wear beforehand.
Soon, it was their turn. bumblebee drove over, Levi got out of the car, and then walked out holding Eve's hand.
Eve naturally took Levi's arm, appearing graceful and poised.
This was like walking a red carpet; there were many reporters outside the hotel taking photos, and they naturally wouldn't miss Levi.
Levi did not try to steal the show, merely stating that he would support Norman Osborn, and then took Eve inside.
Upon entering the banquet, Levi felt dazzled.
No wonder everyone liked attending such banquets.
New York socialites had all gathered here, wearing various cut-out dresses, showcasing their fair skin and long legs, truly a display of 'weaponry'.
Even the arranged waitresses were dressed in uniforms, catching the eye.
Levi felt he was starting to like women in formal dresses.
That feeling of being elegant yet charming, sexy yet not vulgar.
Plus its figure-hugging nature…
Of course, not everyone could wear them.
First, one needed a good figure.
So Levi couldn't help but admire these socialites; they spent their days in the gym, and this attitude towards 'work' was indeed a form of dedication.
"Li!"
At this moment, Norman Osborn warmly greeted him.
"Norman!"
Levi hugged him, still unaccustomed to the enthusiasm of Westerners.
It would be great if it was a woman he was hugging.
"Where's Otto?"
Norman Osborn asked.
"He's a bit busy."
Levi said casually.
"Never mind."
Norman Osborn replied, then introduced the person beside him.
Levi had seen her on television.
The recently famous'Silver Sable', Silver Sablinova, in New York.
At this time, Silver Sable was also wearing a shimmering white form-fitting long dress, which perfectly accentuated her figure, while the high slits on both sides, to some extent, would not hinder her movements.
Levi even suspected that this sister could have slits up to her waist when she was younger!
"Levi."
"Silver."
The two shook hands.
Norman Osborn smiled: "Silver and her security team have been protecting me and have played a huge role, allowing me not to worry about certain threats."
"I saw your performance, it was impressive."
Levi also said.
As a woman, to possess such powerful strength was indeed not easy.
"Thank you."
Silver seemed a bit aloof and quickly released Levi's hand.
Levi had no lingering thoughts.
Her hand wasn't soft like other women's; instead, it was like Maria Hill's.
Holding it, he could even feel the calluses on her palm.
It was clear she had been playing with guns for many years.
If one were to be grabbed by her gun, who could endure it?
As the host of the banquet, Norman Osborn did not chat much longer with Levi.
As Levi walked in with Eve, a person immediately came over.
A white man wearing glasses, around thirty or forty years old, not tall, but rather thin and small.
"Hi, Levi, I've always heard legends about you, and I finally get to meet you in person."
"If you're really going to compete with Tony Stark, you must kick his ass hard!"
Undoubtedly, the one who said this was Justin Hammer.
Justin Hammer considered himself Tony Stark's 'lifelong enemy'.
They both dealt in weapons, and they were major competitors.
Therefore, he regarded Tony Stark as an enemy.
But unfortunately…
Tony Stark only saw him as a Joker.
Now, with Levi's appearance, Tony Stark had repeatedly lost his composure.
This was simply Justin Hammer's dream self; Levi was like his internet mouthpiece…
"Hello."
Levi had no other thoughts about him; Hammer Group was also a large enterprise, and military industry was just one of its aspects.
Thus, the two exchanged enthusiastic words, at least much better than how Tony Stark treated him.
For a moment, Justin Hammer felt that Levi and he were on the same front.
They were both part of the Anti-Tony Stark Alliance!
