Druid in the Marvel Universe Chapter 93: It's Better Together

When Norman Osborn left Alvin's office, his expression was heavy!

No one would look happy if they were extorted for a state-of-the-art gymnasium because their child was going to school! It has nothing to do with whether they have money or not!

Alvin comfortably lay back in his chair, propped his feet up on the desk, and felt quite pleased!

With Stark and Kingpin as major donors, the school's funding issues were basically resolved. After all, there were still grants from the Department of Education to maintain basic operations, right?

Alvin didn't really want to have too much contact with Norman Osborn.

He could sense that Osborn was an extremely self-centered and stubborn guy. Such a person, with a very sharp mind and the massive Osborn Corporation as a financial backing, was very dangerous in the Marvel world!

Alvin wasn't sure if he would turn into the Green Goblin from the movies, but keeping a distance from him seemed like a good choice!

Alvin sometimes found it strange that so many people in the Marvel world were obsessed with those "super-soldier" serums.

Various improved versions of the serum kept emerging, but successful ones were very few.

The closest to success might be those "Winter Soldiers" stored in jars at the Siberian military base.

But what's the use of creating a few particularly powerful lunatics? Not to mention their brains don't work well, just the fact that they can still be shot dead means they can't be considered a successful product.

In nearly a century, the only real success was Steve Rogers.

But so what? Alvin could stand still and Steve still couldn't beat him.

With Frank holding a gun, who lives and who dies is uncertain!

Instead of messing with this, you might as well learn from Stark and strap some powerful weapons to yourself; that would be more intimidating!

Power always needs a matching mental will to drive it. Otherwise, a normal person suddenly gaining superhuman strength would mostly think about using that power to do bad things.

It's like being the only person in a crowd with a gun; you'd always be tempted to use it to get something!

Not everyone can become Captain America; there's only one Steve Rogers!

Of course, Alvin was an exception! The worst thing he thought of in his past life was burying the guys who didn't vote for him.

In the movies, Norman Osborn was like this, driven to evil by the desires awakened by his newfound power.

The best way to deal with someone like Osborn is to keep them within the bounds of the law. That way, he might just spend money on a pretty secretary or do some other minor bad things.

A normal person might just fantasize about a pretty girl, but someone who suddenly gains power would usually try to make their fantasies a reality!

That's very bad!

But despite thinking about all this, Alvin still felt quite pleased. If more rich kids like Harry came along, it would be great.

The school's infrastructure needed these socially responsible wealthy people to contribute!

Of course, Alvin would give them donation receipts!

After a while, Ginny ran into the office holding a fried chicken leg. The little girl held up the chicken leg, which clearly had bite marks, signaling Alvin to eat it quickly!

Alvin grinned mischievously, took a big bite of the chicken leg, and pretended not to see the regretful expression on Ginny's face. The little girl was learning to be bad! But can you be worse than Dad? Fried foods shouldn't be eaten too much!

Just as Alvin and Ginny were playing around, Steve came into the office.

Alvin saw him covered in sweat, his pectoral muscles almost tearing through his shirt. He must have had a great time on the court!

Covering Ginny's eyes, Alvin called out to Olivia, who was drooling over Steve's butt, "Hey, beautiful, get our new football coach a soda! With some ice, please!"

Ginny struggled to move Alvin's big hand, looked at Steve's solid muscles showing through his tight shirt, and huffed, "How can belly muscles be divided into eight pieces? One piece is better. My dad has one piece!"

Alvin laughed and said, "Buddy, how's your first day of school life?

You look like you're enjoying it!"

Steve laughed heartily and said, "That's right, buddy, I love this job, and the kids love me too!

This is indeed a good job, I have to thank you, buddy!"

Alvin wasn't too optimistic about Steve's blind enthusiasm. It's summer break now, and there's a game today. Otherwise, those kids wouldn't be so easy to manage!

Do you think Coach Bill's head went bald for no reason?

But who cares! If Steve can manage the "Howling Commandos," he can probably handle the school's football team!

Alvin laughed and said, "As long as you like it!

I've always believed that people need to do what they love to be passionate. Just like when I used to be a writer, even though I failed miserably, I was very happy back then!

I hope your happiness lasts as long as possible!"

Steve laughed heartily, took the soda Olivia handed him, but not before Olivia gave his chest a playful squeeze!

Alvin called out to Olivia, "Beautiful, I still have a kid here, you need to tone it down!

You can come find Steve after work!"

Olivia let out a terrifying "Oh, ho ho" laugh, slapped Steve's butt, and sashayed out of the office!

Steve was in such a good mood that he didn't get angry at all. If Alvin were taken advantage of by a 400-pound black woman, he might set the house on fire!

Steve downed the soda in one gulp, looked at Alvin, and said, "Buddy, you need to find me a place to stay!

I'll check on my pension later. I think I need to get myself a car; I can't keep hitching a ride with you to work. It's inconvenient!"

Alvin nodded with a smile and said, "You're right, buying a car is a good idea!

As for a place to stay, you can stay at Frank's house for now; he has a spare room. You can consider buying a house when you find a suitable one!

Speaking of cars, that reminds me!"

Alvin took out his phone and called Foggy Nelson,

"Hey, Foggy, how are our stocks doing?"

...

"Almost done? That's great, transfer the money to me ASAP. I need to get myself a nice car; otherwise, no girls will like me!"

...

Alvin smiled and patted Ginny's head, who was signaling "I like you" with her fingers, and said, "It's nothing, Foggy. Matt and I don't have any issues, just some differences of opinion. Everything will be fine!"

...

Hanging up the phone, Alvin raised his eyebrows at Steve and said proudly, "Buddy, go check on your pension!

Tomorrow, we'll get JJ and Frank, and we'll all go buy cars!

One for each of us! Haha!"
