Chapter 480: Instigation
Well, May! He's just a kid! Looking at Peter, who had been reprimanded by May's chatter for almost an hour, and his head was about to go underground, Chris finally spoke.
After glancing at Chris, May sat down hatefully, picked up the coffee on the table that was already cold, and drank it all...... Seriously, scolding is a physical and technical task, especially when dealing with a child like Peter, it is not easy for May to achieve the effect without excessively stimulating the child's self-esteem.
However, it can also be seen from the side that she really cares about the little spider.
Mei came from a modest background, and she is actually forty-seven years old this year, and she was born in the sixties to a family of Italian immigrants.
When it comes to Italian immigrants, many people's first impression may be that of the mafia that was rampant in the United States and had unlimited scenery.
But in fact, few people know that the rise of the Italian mafia in the United States is not because of how tiger the Italian mafia is, but because in the United States at that time, Italians were one of the most discriminated groups.
Racial discrimination was never confined to race, but also to ethnicity and nation, and among the white community, it was the Italians and Irish who were most discriminated against in that era.
Laziness, poverty, and lack of work are the impressions of other ethnic groups of the two races, and the slums at that time were basically dominated by these two groups.
And this discrimination has also made it difficult for these two ethnic groups to find good jobs and integrate into the middle and upper classes, which has also led to the fact that these two ethnic groups can only gain "respect" through the last way, that is, gangs.
Therefore, in the history of the United States, the most famous gangster groups are the Irish gangsters and the Italian mafia, and the Irish mafia is the originator of the American gangsters, but compared with the Irish gangsters who focus on violence, the Italian mafia is more "graceful", so it is not as famous as the latter.
Mei was born in a low-level Italian immigrant family in the slums during this period, her father was a member of the mafia, because he couldn't afford the drag of the family, and Mei was still a daughter, so as a more patriarchal Italian, the other party abandoned the mother and daughter when Mei was still a child.
And although Mei's mother did not abandon her daughter, but worked hard to raise her, she often used her as a punching bag.
Mei, who grew up in this environment, is naturally impossible to receive a good education, so when she grows up, she can only do some low-level work and life, and because of her excellent appearance, she is easy to be targeted by some special people. I was almost coerced by the gang and became a runaway woman.
And it was at that time that she foresaw Ben Parker and was rescued by the other party.
Although Ben Parker is just an ordinary engineer, his brother Richard Parker is an important scientist in the Osborne Group, so he can easily solve the trouble behind May...... Those people themselves are just some low-level gangsters, and they can't afford to mess with people related to Osborne.
And she will marry Ben, largely because of gratitude.
But for Peter, her dedication was unreserved, and even for Peter, she and Ben chose not to have their own children and concentrate on raising Peter...... Because with their economic conditions, it is indeed difficult to ensure that they can support their two children while also ensuring their good education.
And after Ben's accident, May would choose to be Chris's lover, largely because of Peter, if it weren't for Chris spilling a lot of money on the grounds of Peter's future, May would not be so easy to take the bait.
It can be said that May poured everything she had into Peter.
So when she learned from Chris that the new Spider-Man who appeared recently was actually Peter, her anger in her heart was understandable.
Superheroes seem to be beautiful, but their danger can be known as long as you calm down and think about it for a while.
Especially now the earth is not a few years ago, although the Osborne Group sells genetic pills, the starting price of 10 million US dollars is extremely high, but the world has never lacked rich people, and the Osborne Group is not the only one in the world that has enhancement potions, in fact, the emerging five countries, Wakanda, the New Russian Empire, Cobra, the United States official and many national organizations actually have their own genetic enhancement drugs.
It's just that these drugs are not like the genetic drugs launched by the Osborne Group, which have the powerful function of treating various genetic diseases and prolonging life.
These agents are basically based on the T virus, G virus, Pioneer Technology's Desperate Virus and other genetic drugs developed by the Expired Umbrella Company, although with the improvement of the level of earth science and technology in recent years, the various new versions of these gene drugs have not had as many side effects as in the past, but there will still be some defects, and the nature of the drugs is stable, which also means that the level that these drugs can improve is also limited.
Basically, these genetic agents can only increase the strength of an individual's body to about level 2-3, and no matter how high it is, it is difficult to ensure stability, and for the vast majority of people and national organizations, stability is the best.
However, no matter how many improvements these drugs are, no matter how flawed they are, they often have an advantage that the drugs sold by the Osborne Group do not have, that is, they are cheap.
A genetic medicine in the black market that can raise people to the second level is generally only about 500,000, although it will have side effects, but for many relatively poor forces, but they don't care about the lives of their subordinates, this is obviously a very cost-effective deal.
So although the little spider has a fourth-level strengthening strength, the general second-level enhancement person is definitely not an opponent, but one second-level is not good, so what about two, three, or even dozens or hundreds?
That is, in the United States and other powerful countries, robots have been popularized, and general robots also have two levels of strengthening people, so they will be more stable, and Peter's "superhero journey" in the past few months will be so smooth.
And it's also because what the little spider did wasn't too out of line, otherwise he would have been wanted a long time ago...... Otherwise, the current New York police are serious, and under the round-up of a large number of mechanical police, the little spider may not be able to escape.
And if it is replaced by more chaotic regions such as Africa and Europe, it may be really difficult for our little spider to survive three chapters...... The fortifiers in these places are generally well-trained, fully armed soldiers, and any squad can make the little spider feather.
But it is clear that the stability of the United States is not absolute, as evidenced by the robbery of the Osborne Group's van a few days ago.
If it weren't for the help of a "healthy superman", Felicia would have arrived in time, just a Spider-Man, facing a natural psyker who was driving a high-level mecha and level six, I was afraid that she would have to kneel.
May, who has been in the Osborne Group for a few years and has become much broader, naturally understands the danger very well, especially since she has lost a book back then, and she doesn't want Peter to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
But May also knows that with the Parker family's temperament, now that Peter has taken this step, it may be very, very difficult to pull back.
So in this matter, she felt that she still had to hope for Chris, and in her opinion, in this kind of matter, Chris, as the helm of the Osborne Group and the Star Alliance, would definitely have a better way.
"Alright, Mr. Spider-Man, look up like a man!" Chris smiled and nodded at May's gaze, then shouted to Peter.
Hearing Chris's words, Peter raised his head and looked at Chris with a somewhat confused look.
After being reprimanded by May for so long, the contradiction in Peter's heart is very intense, on the one hand, he wants to be a praised superhero like Uncle Ben, on the other hand, he really doesn't want May to be sad, after all, over the years, May has cared about him, he has also seen it, and now that his "secret" has been discovered by May, he is really a little overwhelmed.
"Peter, I know what you're thinking, you think that after receiving the reinforcement, you have the ability, you think you can, and you should help more people, just like your uncle back then, right?" Chris asked.
Peter listened to Chris's words and looked at Chris with surprise, because what the other party said was exactly what he thought.
To be honest, although Peter has a very good relationship with the Osbornes, especially Harry, because of May's relationship, as he gets older, he actually has some instinctive dislikes for Chris.
This is largely related to the relationship between May and Chris, after all, Chris's private life is really too bad, Peter feels that he is not worthy of Mei at all, and Mei should not maintain the current lover relationship with him at all, but May is willing, and he can't say anything, and getting along with Chris is basically out of politeness, and not too close.
But he didn't expect the other party to know his inner thoughts so well.
"You know what? I also admire your uncle very much, there are indeed too few selfless people like him in this world, but what I want to tell you is that as a family member, Ben is not qualified...... Just like your father. Chris said.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean, and what does this have to do with my father?" For Chris's words, the little spider who is not yet fully mature is indeed a little incomprehensible, but more curious that Chris mentioned his father.
"Ben gave everything he had to the people of New York, and even sacrificed himself in the end to save people, there is no doubt that he is very great, but Peter, have you ever thought about how irresponsible Ben's sacrifice is for May and you?" Chris didn't immediately explain Richard's story, but continued to talk about Ben.
"I still don't get it!" Peter shook his head.
"Well, to put it simply, do you know how much your annual living expenses, tuition, and expenses for your family cost a year?" Chris spoke very cheesily about money.
"About 300,000?" Peter quickly figured it out.
"Okay, this number is not much different, then you can ask Mei what your family's annual income and expenses were when your uncle was here in the past." Chris looked at May.
"Ben's income was about $100,000 a year, and his annual expenses were about the same, so it was difficult to make a surplus, and I didn't have a job at that time, so I had no income." Mei thought for a moment and replied.
"Peter, I'm not mentioning this to show off. It's just that you see, although your uncle's sacrifice is very great, but when he did these things, he almost completely did not consider what kind of impact he would have on the future of May and you if he died, and he did not leave you any protection, because his identity was only an engineer, not a policeman or a soldier, so his sacrifice did not even get a cent of insurance money, some were probably a dilapidated apartment and about tens of thousands of dollars donated by New Yorkers...... Oh, sure, if you're willing to take Stark's help, it might be a few zeros, but are you? Chris asked.
Peter shook his head silently.
"Yes, you don't want to, so it won't be long before you have to sell your house and live in a cheap apartment, and Mae has to do the hardest work for your life, and you will quickly grow old, and you can only go to those ordinary community schools, and become the target of those school violence bullies or be part of the bullies...... Think about that situation. Chris said.
"But May has you!" Said after a long silence.
"That's right, Mei has me, but you don't know, Mei is willing to be with me, it's all for you, so that you can get good living conditions and get a good education, everything she does is for you, but you let him down, just like Ben, think about what will happen to May if one day, you and Ben suffer the same misfortune?" Chris asked rhetorically, "Boy, everything you have now is given to you by May, including the power you have now, why do you think you can make May sad in order to be a superhero?" ”
"I'm not here to be in the limelight!" Peter hurriedly denied it.
"Ah, of course, you're not here to be in the limelight, so you're masked, you're here for 'justice,' are you?" Chris chuckled, "So the so-called justice is more important than May, right?" And you think you're doing everything right, right? ”
Chris's cross-examination, May's sadness, made the little spider unable to refute.
"And your father's business" At this time, Chris suddenly mentioned Richard, "Your father used to be an important biotechnology researcher in our company, you know?" ”
"Yes, I know, and I know that they were assassinated by spies while on vacation!" At the mention of his father, the little spider regained his spirits.
"I'm sorry, Peter, but as cruel as this is for you, I want to tell you that your father was not assassinated while on vacation, but because he defected!" Chris suddenly said with a serious face.
"Defection? That's impossible! "Not just Peter, but even May didn't quite believe it.
"I don't have to lie, do I? At that time, it was just when I began to accept the transformation of the group's business, and it was also because of the transformation that your father's laboratory, originally as the group's chief scientist, began to be marginalized and not taken seriously. Perhaps it was for this reason that your father was dissatisfied, so after his research was successful, he chose to conceal it, destroyed all the materials and experimental questions in the laboratory, and disappeared with the corresponding materials! Chris said.
"I remember, no wonder the Richards left in such a hurry, it turned out to be this reason!" Just when the little spider looked incredulous, May gave Chris a very beautiful assist.
"Yes, because of the actions of the Richards, we at Osborne have lost hundreds of millions of dollars...... Money was worth a lot more back then than it is now. Chris shrugged and said, "We immediately contacted the FBI and the CIA for this, but unfortunately, when they found your parents, your parents had already been killed, and all the corresponding research materials were missing, so the matter had to be closed." ”
"No, I don't believe it" Chris's words were obviously a very big blow to the little spider.
"Although it's hard to believe, but that's the case, whether it's the FBI or the Spear Bureau, in fact, there are corresponding records of this case, if you don't believe it, I can take you to get the corresponding information.
"Wait, if all this is true, then I can understand the FBI, but why is it involved in the Divine Spear Bureau?" At this time, Mei suddenly asked.
Although May didn't have a good education in the past, since she was with Chris, working at the Osborne Group, and genetically strengthened, she learned everything very quickly, and it was no longer what it used to be, so it was easy to figure out the key to it.
"It's very short, because this case has been solved, and it was solved by the Divine Spear Bureau, in fact, I am the special adviser of the Divine Spear Bureau, so I will know about this matter." Chris feigned deep thought for a moment, then replied.
"What? Already broken? Chris, tell me, who killed them? The little spider, which was already battered and somewhat depressed, immediately became excited.
"Ahem, don't worry, the truth is that this case will ultimately be blamed on the previous S.H.I.E.L.D." Chris said.
"What? So, was S.H.I.E.L.D. coveting my father's research and killing them? Is that right? The little spider immediately thought of this, with S.H.I.E.L.D. being replaced by the Spear Bureau, S.H.I.E.L.D., an organization in the past tense, is naturally not too much of a secret, of course, most people only know that this is an intelligence agency similar to the CIA.
"Well, although it's not quite correct, but it can indeed be said that it is more accurate, it should be said that the organization of Hydra did it, back then S.H.I.E.L.D. was almost completely infiltrated by the terrorist organization of Hydra, and used the identity of S.H.I.E.L.D. to do a lot of heinous things, in fact, the reason why your father betrayed the Osborne group back then, I suspect that to some extent, was also bewitched by the other party using the skin of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the evidence at the time showed that the person who assassinated your parents was the killer of Hydra, Even the assassination of Tony Stark's parents back then was Hydra, which is why our Osborne Group did not continue to pursue this matter. Without any pressure, Chris put a big black cauldron on the body of Hydra, which had long been a thing of the past...... Anyway, in fact, the assassin of Richard and his wife is indeed the number one killer of Hydra, Bucky the Winter Soldier, and the evidence is conclusive.
"Hydra !!" The little spider remembered the name firmly, gritted her teeth, and her eyes flashed with something called hatred.
"Don't worry too much, back then, S.H.I.E.L.D. was replaced by the Spear Bureau because of Hydra, and the high-level leaders of Hydra have all been executed by Hydra after trial, and the rest of the people have basically not escaped the trial of the law" This is also one of the reasons why Chris has no pressure to detain the black cauldron, the people who can refute it are all dead, and they have the ability to jump out of the grave to refute it, and even if the leaders of Hydra are all alive, I don't know if they have given the order to assassinate Richard, After all, Alexander Pierce was never the only one who could give orders to the Winter Soldier.
"So that's ......" Hearing that the enemy who killed his father had died a long time ago, and the little spider couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"But ......" At this time, Chris was a little hesitant again.
"But what?" Chris's hesitation aroused the curiosity of the little spider.
"Hey, this matter can't be hidden after all, and it's not fair to you, in fact, the person who killed your parents with his own hands didn't die, but because he was also a poor person who was controlled, and someone gave him a guarantee, so he is still alive now!" Chris pretended to hesitate for a long time, and finally looked at the little spider's expression, and then said to the little spider a little "unbearable".
"Who the hell is it!" Hearing Chris's words, the little spider couldn't hold back her anger anymore and gritted her teeth.
"Chris, you shouldn't have told him this, he's still a kid!" At this time, Mei couldn't help it anymore, and said angrily to Chris, she didn't want Peter to be a superhero, but she also didn't want this kid to fall into hatred, and she now regretted letting Chris persuade Peter.
"May, you know, there are some things that you have to let him know sooner or later, Peter will not always be just a child, he will grow up sooner or later!" Chris said with a straight face, and then continued to look at the little spider and said seriously, "Peter, I am telling you this today, not to make you revenge, but to hope that you can understand that before doing anything, you must think more about the people around you...... You see, if your father had thought more about your feelings and your mother's safety, he might not have betrayed Osborne, would not have left the United States, and ended up dying in a foreign land, and your Uncle Ben, if he had thought more about May and you, maybe he would not have sacrificed, then you would have a happy family, not just one Mei, wouldn't you? Upholding justice and helping others, that's the business of the police and the military, isn't it? ”
Peter didn't speak, or now he couldn't listen to Chris's later words, and his mind was now full of information about the death of his parents and that the killer was still at large...... Chris obviously knows that, and that's what he's aiming for.
"I know it's not that easy to convince you, Peter, and in fact if you still want to be a superhero, there's a chance now! Hey, May, don't look at me like that, you think, instead of letting Peter continue to go out so sneakily and be a superhero, it would be better to make him safer under our control, wouldn't it? Just like Harry and Felicia, with Osborne's logistical support and personnel, I was able to guarantee that Peter's safety would not be threatened in any way. It was at this point that Chris said his ultimate goal.
And his words, although exchanged for May's angry gaze, also aroused Peter's interest...... Comparing the unsightly suit he made himself, and the handsome armor that Felicia and Harry wore that day, Peter couldn't help but look forward to it, but somehow, Felicia's delicate beauty appeared in his mind at the same time......
Peter quickly shook his head, damn it, Felicia was Harry's girlfriend, and he liked Gwen.
