"I don't think someone who dares to take these kinds of photos is a nobody."
“In fact, I always remember that it was your reaction to take a picture, Mr. Harry Osborne.”
"Indeed, I don't remember some moments because so much time has passed and so much has happened in that time."
Chapter 612 Compensation
Harry Osborne clearly didn't want to say much about the photoshoot.
After all, he wasn't the real Green Goblin.
The real Green Goblin is dead, in Osborn's room. He didn't even reveal his identity or the cause of his death to Harry before he died.
If Harry hadn't accidentally discovered Norman Osborn's laboratory and equipment, the fact that Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin might never have been known.

When his gaze drifted over the faintly visible words in front of him, Xu Fu began to cooperate, steer the conversation toward an interview.
"Mr. Harry Osborn, as far as I know, the Green Goblin has appeared as a criminal and caused serious damage to New York City, including the previous bombing of the Daily Bugle. Do you have any explanation for this?"
"Criminals?"
Looking at the reporter standing in front of him, Harry frowned and denied it.
"I disagree with your statement. Green Goblin has always worked hard to maintain the safety of New York, including fighting against Spider-Man. The attack on Mayor Wilson proves that Spider-Man is a dangerous terrorist. We have all been deceived by her 103 disguise."
Whether Spider-Man is dangerous is still inconclusive.
Although it was unclear why Harry showed such strong hostility towards Spider-Man, Xu Fu, from a reporter's perspective, seized the opportunity to refute him and provoke him.
"No, Spider-Man is the source of danger; she's a murderer!"
Upon hearing Xu Fu's words, Harry's emotions suddenly surged.
"Sorry, I got a little too excited..."
However, he reacted quickly, managing to control and suppress his emotions. "In short, everything I've done is for the safety of New York and its people. That's why I went public and joined the Thunder Commando. As for those who suffered losses in the battle, I publicly promise that the Osborn Corporation will begin efforts to make amends."
After saying this, Harry Osborne ignored Xu Fu's reaction and immediately turned to walk towards his car.
"This interview is now over."
Immediately afterwards, a bodyguard standing to the side stepped forward and made a gesture to Xu Fu.
(bbaj) After watching Harry Osborne drive away, Xu Fu silently gazed into the distance.
The events unfolded in a way that seemed more interesting than he had initially anticipated.
...
"Harry Osborne has pledged to cover all the damages caused by the Green Monster!"
"The Green Monster is a superhero! Is Spider-Man a criminal?"
Soon, Xu Fu's interview appeared on the front page of "Frontline".
"Proven to be a complete hypocrite, a criminal in a worm's shell, this guy is the biggest source of chaos in New York, a walking parasite!"
"She tried to package herself as a superhero, but it was undoubtedly a failure because she couldn't hide her criminal nature. In contrast, the Green Monster is a real superhero, a truly powerful superhero, not a cowardly pest..."
Later that day, Jameson, the former owner of The Daily Bugle, turned to his own online news website to share his thoughts on the news.
Unsurprisingly, in his report, Jameson deemed Spider-Man useless and instead praised the Green Monster.
Based on what Xu Fu heard in the office through [Super Hearing], the conversation between James and Ben Yurich was indeed audible.
Jameson appears to have begun to show interest in buying out ownership of The Clarion, and the Frontline, where he now works, is likely to be reintegrated into the new Clarion.
In other words, Xu Fu had been promoting it extensively.
Daly Bouger is going back to work.
In any case, thanks to the promise of compensation, Harry Osborne has successfully reversed the evil image left by the Green Monster in the past.
This result directly affected Spider-Man, who was once his or the former Green Goblin's rival.
Because they could never erase the attacker's identity, New Yorkers' views on Spider-Man have fundamentally changed, from initial goodwill to current hatred.
In addition, some media outlets behind the scenes, especially Jameson, the news anchor who desperately hates Spider-Man, have been stirring things up.
Spider-Man slowly began to shift from his previous superhero role to that of a criminal.
Once this image was established, all of May Parker's subsequent efforts became futile. It can be said that Harry Osborn's appearance directly disrupted Xu Fu's previous efforts, with all attention focused on his announcement of the Green Goblin's registration.
Conversely, few people have noticed the New York City mayor's previous scandals.
Voters tend to judge based on recent events rather than all that happened earlier...
These are the words Xu Fu once said to LaGuardia in the right world, but they are reflected in a different form in the current situation in New York City.
...
Just as Xu Fu was encountering some difficulties in his current affairs in New York.
An uninvited guest approached him.
As Xu Fu walked out of the newspaper's newsroom, he saw a familiar figure; his car hadn't been repaired in a long time.
"is it you?"
In the back seat of the car, Night Demon sat "quietly" as lawyer Matt.
Should I buy a new lock for my car?
The idea flashed through his mind, but to outsiders, Xu Fu still put on a surprised expression as he looked at the Night Demon in his red demon uniform.
"exactly."
Matt hid most of his body in the shadows, revealing only a blurry outline, and answered in a low voice.
"What happened?"
Of course, Matt's or Nightmare's disguises were ineffective against Xu Fu. Whether it was his [Super X-ray Vision] or [Super Sight] abilities, he could clearly see the other party's facial expressions, and even the face under the mask.
"Don't be so nervous. I've come here to ask you to do something for me."
Sensing Xu Fu's "nervousness," Nightmare reassured him.
He handed Xu Fu something he had prepared beforehand, right in front of the driver's seat: "This is evidence I found when I attacked Mayor Wilson in New York. Some of it proves that Spider-Man wasn't there at the time..."
Chapter 613 Evidence
"What do you mean?"
Xu Fu did not expect that Night Demon would suddenly present such evidence.
You know, this is a clue that even Howard couldn't get.
Daredevil's evidence detailed Spider-Man's actions during the attack on the King. Most notably, it contained evidence of a thief; if true, Spider-Man couldn't have simultaneously caught the thief and attacked the Mayor of New York City.
Closing the evidence in his hand, Xu Fu turned to look at Nightmare in the car and asked with a curious expression.
"How did you find them?"
"I have my own channels for obtaining information..."
Hell's Kitchen is the haunt of the "Night Demons" and is the most chaotic neighborhood in all of New York City.
Initially, the neighborhood was inhabited by working-class Irish immigrants and was known for its poor quality of life, high levels of community conflict, and high crime rate. Later, after America's defeat in World War II, a large number of WWII veterans and Americans gathered here, unwilling to accept defeat and intending to oppose the presence of the Germans.
According to news reports at the time, the rebels gathered in Hell's Kitchen possessed a large amount of World War II equipment, including several M2 medium tanks.
However, the American government at the time had been defeated and was worried that this move would anger the Germans, so President Truman ordered General MacArthur to begin cracking down on Hell's Kitchen.
It is worth noting that MacArthur employed a deceptive tactic due to the perilous situation within Hell's Kitchen at the time.
He began by telling a resistance leader gathered in Hell's Kitchen that he was equally dissatisfied with the weakness of the American government and believed they were doing the right thing. He also promised that they would be notified in advance of any news from the government so they could prepare.
Because of MacArthur's assurances, many insurgents were misled into believing that the government also had supporters at home. At the same time, MacArthur told them that the government was feeling the pressure and intended to negotiate with the German troops then stationed in America.
Just when the people of Hell's Kitchen thought their resistance had been rewarded, MacArthur launched a surprise attack on Hell's Kitchen, leading his troops to use tanks, tear gas, and smoke grenades.
No one anticipated MacArthur's sudden retaliation, and it is said that many people even celebrated the victory of the resistance movement at the time.
Faced with a fully armed and well-equipped army, the inhabitants of Hell's Kitchen were powerless to resist. More than a hundred people died from the suppressive fire, more than half of whom were soldiers who had been demobilized after World War II. At the same time, the entire Hell's Kitchen was also bombed to pieces.
Later, when the police responsible for the cleanup arrived at the scene, they looked at the destruction and couldn't help but say, "This place is hell."
Immediately afterward, another policeman corrected him, saying, "To call it hell is an understatement; it's just a kitchen in hell."
This is the earliest known origin of the "Hell's Kitchen" legend.
Meanwhile, as a result of the repression and destruction, Hell's Kitchen has become one of the most notorious slums in all of New York City, even to this day.
The source of the information mentioned by the nightmare should be Hell's Kitchen.
As a chaotic and dangerous place, Hell's Kitchen is also the most well-informed place in all of New York City, where a large amount of true and false information circulates.
Howard couldn't penetrate those dark worlds at all because much of Hell's Kitchen's information was passed down orally, not through the internet, which prevented Tony from using it to gain clues.
Only someone as familiar with Hell's Kitchen as Nightmare can find useful clues here.
Not to mention his superhuman senses are also somewhat capable of detecting lies; by observing his heartbeat, he can tell exactly whether a person is lying or telling the truth.
