754: Chapter 754 Peter Comes to the Door
Clarissa returned to Queens, New York.
However, as soon as she landed, thanks to her aura concealment, no one noticed her, as if they were blind to her act of descending from the sky.
For practitioners like Clarissa, dealing with ordinary people was like a dimensional strike.
After landing, Clarissa discarded the aura concealment and acted like a normal person.
"Hey, beautiful!" At that moment, a handsome white man walked over with a smile, his face full of surprise.
He hadn't expected to see such a beautiful person just by looking up!
This was simply a gift from heaven!
"Is something the matter?" Clarissa looked at him, her brow furrowing slightly. He was an ordinary person, but he carried a "foul smell." How should she describe it... to Clarissa, it was like a rat in a sewer.
But the source wasn't him.
"You are truly beautiful! By the way, here is a ticket to high society..." The handsome white man handed a business card to Clarissa. "There are many handsome and wealthy men there! If you want to see for yourself, you can go check it out. It's tomorrow night!"
Clarissa took the card. The man smiled, took a few more reluctant and greedy looks at Clarissa's face, and then turned to leave.
Clarissa glanced at the card. It had an address and a phone number on it, and there was a mark on the back. It looked more like an invitation or an entry ticket.
After thinking for a moment, Clarissa suddenly felt amused.
"What is Big Sister Head laughing at?" Chen Mu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You're so slow. Didn't you show us those entertainment works... This is clearly a Vampire banquet! That guy has his eyes on Big Sister Head! He wants Big Sister Head to be a blood bag... or even... ahem~ But if Big Sister Head were to join the darkness, she could probably start at the Viscount level based on her looks alone," Yi Xin said.
"Ah, oh... Vampires... Ah! Underworld! Oh right, I almost forgot that the Marvel World Big Sister Head went to is a mishmash~" Chen Mu suddenly realized after hearing what Yi Xin said, regretfully slapping his forehead. How could he have forgotten that?
"But this guy finding Big Sister Head... how is that any different from 'Please come in, Your Excellency'?" Chen Mu couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter.
"Big Sister Head will go, right?" Lin Zifeng asked.
"I can," Clarissa replied.
Attending and having some fun wouldn't hurt.
As the Administrator, she should pamper her group members a bit.
She was idle anyway.
Afterward, Clarissa returned home. As she was boiling a pot of water and preparing to make a cup of tea, she noticed something.
It seemed she had something else to do.
"Hey! Clarissa, are you home?" Peter's voice came from outside the door.
With a thought from Clarissa, the door opened. Outside stood Peter, still in a knocking posture, with Gwen standing behind him.
"Come in. Is something the matter?" Clarissa said to Peter.
Peter and Gwen walked inside.
"Have a seat. Here, have some tea." Clarissa poured them each a cup. "Peter, you look very tired. You too, Gwen."
Gwen nodded slightly. The two of them did indeed look very tired, with obvious dark circles under their eyes.
"You two should be mindful of moderation, though I know young people have good stamina," Clarissa said nonchalantly.
"Mhm... Wait, what?! No, no!" Gwen nodded slightly before realizing something was wrong. She jolted, her face turning red instantly as she hurried to explain.
Peter lowered his head in embarrassment, looking left and right, scratching his head as if he were very busy.
"Cough~ Um, it's because of the research experiment..." Peter quickly explained to Clarissa.
"We've been very busy lately... so the two of us have been at the research institute all the time and haven't really come to see you," Gwen told Clarissa.
"It's fine. I've been living quite comfortably here and have been busy with some minor matters lately." Clarissa smiled and said, "So you're free today? Instead of getting some proper rest, you came to see me?"
"Gwen and I went back to catch up on some sleep and came over as soon as we woke up." Peter smiled, then licked his lips, took a deep breath, and asked Clarissa, "Clarissa, let me ask you something... Limb Rebirth—is that possible in your world?"
"Something like that is quite simple," Clarissa said with a slight nod. "For those who are more skilled, as long as they still have a breath left and aren't being attacked, they can recover... There are even some powerful beings for whom Rebirth from a Drop of Blood is not impossible.
Why? Does someone you know need a Limb Rebirth?"
"Uh... not exactly. It's our mentor and supervisor... Clarissa, you know Gwen and I are research assistants. Our project is led by Dr. Connors... The research focus is a Serum that can achieve Limb Rebirth. Well... Dr. Connors is missing a hand," Peter explained after thinking for a bit.
"So you're worried about whether this Serum will be successful?" Clarissa said.
"Not exactly... with Peter's formula, the completion of this Serum is inevitable," Gwen said from the side.
"What I'm worried about is whether this Serum will be used for the right purposes and benefit humanity..." Peter said worriedly. "Today, Stark Industries shut down its weapons division... It's said that Tony Stark was blown up by his own missile... I suddenly started thinking, once the Limb Rebirth Serum is made, can it really be made available to the public and benefit those with disabilities?"
"As far as I know, the research institute you're at belongs to Osborn Group. In other words, it's capital... your Serum also belongs to Oscorp." Clarissa didn't say too much, instead turning to the matter of affiliation. "And one more thing, if I recall correctly, Peter, your good friend is the Young Master of Oscorp, right?"
"How did you know?!" Peter looked at Clarissa in surprise.
"That's not important." Clarissa looked at Peter. "What's important is, do you trust Oscorp?"
"Of course... he's my best friend!" Peter said immediately. Harry Osborn was his best friend! Of course he was trustworthy; they had a great relationship.
"So you mean that if I trust my friend, this Serum is worth it!?" Peter's face lit up with joy.
"..." Clarissa looked at Peter speechlessly. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, this Serum is bound to be successful. I just don't know if Osborn can wait, or if Connors can wait."
"What do you mean?" Peter looked at Clarissa in confusion.
