Chapter 17: Peter's Change
Rome was not built in a day, and the hearts of the people were not subdued in a day.
Emma is undoubtedly a smart woman, but unfortunately sometimes she is smart but she is mistaken by cleverness.
Rocky wants to subdue the White Queen in [Hellfire], but it is not so simple to do.
Before leaving the Four Seasons Hotel, he uses a verbal offensive to dismantle Emma's hope that he can turn the tables on him, and tells her to come to Manhattan to find him if she wants to cooperate.
As a result of attending this drinking party, Rocky also lost interest in 'hunting', and he returned to New York in a car.
Of course, he doesn't forget that Jì always keeps an eye on Logan's side. After becoming the White King of Hellfire, he has inevitably been involved in the war between mutants, and he cannot stay out of it, and he never wants to stay out of it.
The benefits of joining Hellfire have been on display since Rocky returned to Manhattan.
First, his companies were given the green light by the government to sell their products and export them. The second is the sharing of resources. Many of the wealthy under Hellfire began to cooperate with Rocky's industry, and this was undoubtedly a win-win situation, and his assets increased at a rate that was visible to the naked eye. Finally, there is the issue of intelligence. Hellfire's professional intelligence officers will search for the information he wants based on Rocky's request, including the color of the underwear the target wears every day. And this qiē is only part of the benefit.
The day after returning to Manhattan, Rocky actually found that Peter, who had never missed classes in the past, had not appeared? This unusual behavior made him feel a little strange. As Rocky's only friend at the school, he still cares about Peter. So, he decided to skip today's class and visit him at Peter's house.
Peter would have been surprised to learn that Rocky was coming to visit him. You know, now he is overwhelmed by his strange changes. Ever since he was bitten by an unknown spider while visiting the genetic spiders, his body has undergone a mutation. His originally thin body became stronger, and the height glasses that had accompanied him for many years were also removed. He can hear distant sounds, sense many dangers, and even spit out spider silk. It's no different from a spider.
Peter hesitated, he didn't know if this mutation was a good thing, he was afraid that he would be ostracized by others, and he might even be locked up in the real room to be the guinea pig of those mad scientists.
He locked himself in his house for two whole days and did not go out, and his uncle and aunt took turns knocking on the door, but he prevaricated for various reasons.
Until Rocky came to his door.
"Knock knock..."
Opening the door for Rocky was Peter's aunt Mae Parker, who was nearly fifty years old and very thin, with a not-so-young face and a little old. Her face was kind, and at first glance she knew that she was a kind person.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
Rocky is not a person who does not know how to be polite, especially in the face of kind elders, he is still very polite.
"Is it Aunt May? I'm Parker's best friend, Rocky Azazler. ”
Mei had a smile on her face, and she was very happy that her withdrawn nephew had a good friend.
"Oh, come in quickly, you're the only one who has visited our house as a friend of Peter's so far."
Rocky follows May into Parker's house, and Peter's uncle, Ben Parker, can roughly guess Rocky's identity when he meets him.
"Hey, lad, I think you must be Peter's friend."
"Yes, Mr. Ben, I have often heard Peter speak of you, and he always said that you are the kindest men in the world. Now I see it, and it's true. ”
Rocky said to his senses, which undoubtedly made the two elders very useful, but in just a moment, Rocky won the love of May and Ben with his eloquence and charm. Building a good relationship with your friend's family is one of the most important lessons in socializing.
After chatting briefly for a while, Ben couldn't help but sigh after knowing Rocky's origin, "I'm afraid only you can persuade him, he has been hiding in the room for two days and hasn't come out." ”
Rocky was stunned when he heard this, and secretly wondered what this guy was stimulating.
Peter in the room had become a little agitated since he heard Rocky come to the house to talk to his uncle and aunt. He was afraid that his friends would find out about his abnormality, and he would dislike and dislike him.
With Peter's fear, Rocky knocked on the door of his home.
"Man, are you locking yourself in your room waiting for mold? I don't remember you having that hobby. ”
When Peter heard this, his face became even more agitated, he was not sure whether he should open the door or not, he was afraid of losing his only friend.
"Rocky, I'm fine, you let me be alone for a while, I need to adjust!"
Although Peter did a good job of concealing it, Rocky could still hear a hint of panic and hesitation in his heavy tone. It gave him a premonition that it wasn't good. Could it be that it had something to do with him going to the Gene Spider exhibition?
"Listen, Peter, I know you must have something going on right now, but you know, I want you not to hide anything from me as a friend, or else you will lose the meaning of a friend!"
As soon as these words came out, Peter's mood suddenly calmed down, and Lodge's words were soothing to him, 'I know what may have happened to you, but I don't want you to hide it from me. ’
Peter finally hesitated, but gritted his teeth and opened the door to his room.
Rocky couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Peter, who had changed so much.
It wasn't until Peter closed the door and smiled wryly that Rocky said in a strange tone, "Man, it looks like you've really got something going on." Let me guess, was it when I visited the exhibit Gene Spider? ”
Peter was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Don't you think I'm abnormal at all?" I don't even know if I'm human or not. ”
Rocky knew that this kid was afraid of being discriminated against, just as Banner hated his Hulk's strength. He is now confused and needs guidance.
"Man, I know you must be confused right now and don't know what to do with your own affairs. But I tell you very clearly, since you have changed, you have to accept this fact. Don't you think that's cool? Have a special ability to do things you wanted to do before but couldn't. Don't you often tell me that you envy Batman? ”
With a good approach, Rocky guides Peter and asks him to try to calm down his inner turmoil.
In fact, Rocky also thinks it's very fucked, this kind of strange thing can be touched by him, and it's really lucky. But that's fine. At least this skinny nerd won't be bullied at will in the future.
Hearing his friend's words, Peter's hesitation finally eased a little, but he finally failed to convince himself to accept the change.
In this regard, Rocky can only say that this guy really needs time to adjust his mood.
After saying goodbye to Peter's aunt and uncle, seeing that it was still early, Rocky planned to go back to school for the time being.
Coincidentally, just after parking the car, Felicia's 'thorny' rose appeared in front of him.
"Isn't that Miss Felicia Haddesky, our Midtown High School favorite?"
Rocky's slightly mocking tone made Felicia's face a little embarrassed, and if it wasn't for the real emergency, she wouldn't have come to Rocky if she was killed.
"Rocky, I'm not here to listen to your sarcasm."
Felicia's rare solemnity made Rocky restrain his playful smile, and he instantly guessed that the other party had money with him, because he saw the slightest anxiety in Felicia's eyes.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the concern on Rocky's face, Felicia was moved in her heart, but her face showed a lonely expression.
"Rocky, I need your help......"
Confident and proud, Felicia let go of her defenses and revealed the troubles she was now experiencing.
It turned out that Felicia's father, who had been missing for many years, suddenly returned to New York, but left after only one night. Originally, this strange thing was answered in a package sent the next day. It was his father's shirt, and it was stained with donated blood.
Filicia was so shocked by this 'gift' that after consulting with her mother, they tried to seek help from the police, but there were no clues.
In this kind of difficulty of finding a person in the vast United States, where the other party does not leave information, only those who have wealth and power can do it!
And this man, Felicia thought of Rocky.
