"You know, we just finished a scientific experiment."
"So, am I a scientist now?"
Hurley's upper body was pressed against Harry's chest, her hair as smooth as silk.
Aside from being able to serve as a meeting room, the entire room was completely Harry's personal space—a luxury bathroom, a large bed, a kitchen. In a space station where every inch of space was worth its weight in gold, this 200-square-meter space was quite extravagant.
And this was a three-story residence; there were two more levels below.
"This space trip has one final step," Harry said suddenly.
"What is it?"
Harry turned on the projector. A bald, one-eyed black man appeared on the screen. Hurley snatched the blanket over, looking at Harry with shame and anger.
Harry spread his hands: "It's just a recording. I had him record it in advance."
"Congratulations, Osborn. I think you have now become a super pioneer for humanity in the space age," Fury said expressionlessly.
Ignoring Hurley's confused expression, Harry signaled to keep watching.
"As a subordinate organization of the United Nations, I am here to announce a personnel transfer."
"Huh?" Hurley's eyes were quite complex. This almost explained one thing: Harry had known from the very beginning who she was working for.
But on the other hand, this sentence also meant something else, something that surprised her immensely.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. field agent Felicia Hardy is hereby transferred to the United Nations Space Resource Development Department, effective immediately, as a personal assistant to consultant Harry Osborn. The transfer order is effective immediately."
"Congratulations to you, Ms. Hardy."
The recording ended. Felicia hugged Harry happily, the two large mounds of fat pressing against Harry quite comfortably—he was also very happy; this matter was resolved.
However, he was also a bit stunned because the name was very familiar.
Clearly, this surprise shocked Felicia quite a bit: "You knew all along? Why didn't you kick me out?"
"There are many jobs in this World, and Osborn can provide all types of work. Of course, I know that's not what you want to hear," Harry said, stroking Felicia's hair.
"You are like the Sun I see when I wake up every morning—sometimes it's cloudy, rainy, or something else, but my life always has you in it. I don't like it when this situation changes. Letting you go or getting rid of you would make me feel like I'm incompetent."
"You said so much, can't you shorten it to three words?" Felicia whispered in Harry's ear.
Harry smiled: "I love you, Felicia."
"Even though my purpose in approaching you at the beginning wasn't pure?"
But what is pure in this World? Harry felt that life is just being bound together by various constraints—some verbal, some written, some forcibly regulated by violence, and some subtly influenced by morality.
His relationship with Felicia started with a thin contract, and she executed the content of the contract very well. Then, with the catalyst of habit, this became the emotion between them.
Perhaps it wasn't pure, but Harry was satisfied with it.
Both psychic ability and the paper contract proved that Felicia's feelings for him were the same, and that was enough.
Harry twirled her hair around his fingertip: "Even a newborn child's birth might not be 'pure,' but that doesn't prove anything. The important thing is, as I said, you are already a part of my life, and I don't want to change that. What about you?"
Felicia still had an incredulous smile on her face, lying back on the bed as if relieved.
She looked at the ceiling and murmured: "The first time I saw you, I felt that your eyes held the same fear as mine. I was curious—what exactly are you afraid of, you rich second-generation heir?"
Harry smiled and didn't speak.
"But it doesn't matter what you're afraid of. I watched you save Osborn, watched you become a hero and rush into the wormhole, overcoming your fear. I like that." Felicia's green pupils were crystal clear, as beautiful as emeralds.
Their lips met again, and the second round began.
In fact, before today, Fury had given Harry some of Felicia's information, right after the Battle of New York.
But for the sake of a strange sense of ritual in his heart, Harry hadn't opened it to look, so he was a bit stunned.
And Felicia Hardy is a very famous female character in the original work—Black Cat.
The data showed that Felicia's life before college was basically the same as in the comics; her father was the famous thief, the Black Cat, but he was arrested and imprisoned.
After being arrested and imprisoned, she began to pursue perfection under her father's instructions, but after entering college, her life trajectory changed.
In The Amazing Spider-Man movies, she would have also entered Osborn to become a CEO assistant, but there was a small twist here.
At that time, Norman's military Flyer project and human enhancement research had just started, and Nick Fury thought it was necessary to observe Osborn to some extent.
S.H.I.E.L.D. used her father's sentence reduction as a condition, asking Felicia to monitor the inside of Osborn. To avoid some problems, they arranged a fake identity for her and applied for a scholarship from the Osborn Group for her.
So, unlike The Amazing Spider-Man movies, Felicia used a fake identity to sneak into Osborn, and then exchanged some information about Osborn for her father's sentence reduction.
The incident in the comics where she was raped by a boyfriend didn't happen because she had been a S.H.I.E.L.D. field agent since college.
"So why do you have Eastern features?" Harry thought of this and said.
"As for that, it's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s assessment of you. They thought you would like some East Country characteristics, so they prepared this for me."
Saying that, Felicia tore a thin optical mask off her face, revealing her original appearance.
Harry now felt it was very realistic; it was another plot change that happened without his knowledge. "So your father is that famous thief, the Black Cat?"
"Yes, would you mind?" Felicia's voice was a bit uncertain, as she had seen how Harry dealt with criminals.
"Well, since he's already serving his sentence, as long as he can turn over a new leaf, it's fine." Harry didn't want this father-in-law to go around stealing after being released from prison and finally be caught and used to threaten him.
Besides, stealing is not as fast as doing business.
Thinking about it, Harry said: "Since you've officially transferred over now, I plan to move your father to a different place."
Osborn could completely find a place to build a mansion, hire servants, and then apply to the federal government for prison status, saying this is a prison, and then bring Walter Hardy over.
"Build a separate prison for my father?" Felicia's expression was quite colorful. "This..."
"Let's do it. Building a small-scale prison doesn't cost much. Your father still has a long sentence left; you wouldn't want to see him suffer in prison, right? We'll process his parole in a while."
Generally speaking, most private prisons are built for federal subsidies, but now, Osborn is really not short of money, and doesn't even care much about money.
Without S.H.I.E.L.D. interfering, this matter is easy to handle.
"Now let's continue to enjoy the vacation."
The Sun's rays shone into the space station, and Harry's room was quite bright. Playing in such an exposed environment was quite exciting.
The seven-day vacation was still long. Perhaps this was a paradise.
The next day, the news headlines were all about Osborn:
"The United Nations establishes the Space Resource Development Agency, with Harry Osborn as consultant. The department aims to peacefully develop outer space resources."
"The Osborn Group obtains multi-country certification, becoming the first space resource development pioneer of the new era to receive certification. This certification means that all major countries in the World recognize and support all mining activities conducted by Osborn in space."
"Osborn is the pioneer sailing into the Universe!"
