"So. The people of Stark Group just gave you half a million dollars? ”

At breakfast, Mei looked at the cheque on the table, still in disbelief.

"Yes, I asked Tony yesterday. Mr. Stark's personal mailbox sent an email telling him that his brutal violence had caused our car to be scrapped. ”

Peter explained to Aunt May.

"He's responsible?"

Uncle Ben was a little surprised and asked Peter, "Are you saying that last night's car accident was caused by the people of the Stark Group?" ”

"Well, one of the two iron men in the sky is Tony. Stark. This money is the other party's compensation to us. ”

Peter explained to Uncle Ben as he tackled the pancakes that Aunt Mei had prepared.

"But, how do you know?"

Uncle Ben asked Peter suspiciously.

"Everyone should know by now."

Peter stood up, and turned on the TV under the puzzled eyes of Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

The news channel on the TV is broadcasting breaking breaking news about Stark Group.

In the background is the lobby of the Stark Building, where Tony. Stark stood on the stage and spoke.

"There is speculation that I was involved in a previous incident that happened on the highway and on the roof"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the female reporter below.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, I would like to ask: Do you really expect us to believe that it was a bodyguard in a suit who happened to appear?"

"Ahem.!"

Tony. Stark put down the transcript of his speech and said to the reporters below: "I know it's confusing, and it's one thing to question the official narrative, but it's another thing to make crazy accusations or imply that I'm a superhero." ”

The female reporter replied: "I didn't say you were a superhero. ”

"Really? That's nice. ”

Tony. Stark was stunned for a moment, then said, "Because that's boundless, whimsical."

He didn't know what he remembered, and he was a little speechless.

"I'm obviously not a hero, I have character flaws, I make a lot of mistakes"

Seeing that the other party was talking more and more incoherently, Rod next to him reminded him in a low voice, "Just read it according to the script." ”

“OK。”

Tony. Stark picked up the note, "The truth is."

Staring at the words on the note, he hesitated, but finally did not read it.

Taking a deep breath, he glanced around at the reporters below.

"I'm Iron Man!"

Hearing the other party admit that he is Iron Man, the reporter below boiled like hot water, holding the microphone and frantically towards Tony. Stark poured in.

"Ugh"

Looking at the exciting pictures on TV, Uncle Ben was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

Aunt Mei had never seen such a battle, and was surprised to see the picture of the two iron men fighting on TV.

Although the picture quality is a little blurry, you can see how fierce the battle between the two is.

Was the innocent driver last night affected by the battle between the two?

"He admitted that he was a superhero?"

Uncle Ben asked Peter, still in disbelief.

"For now, it's like this, he's Iron Man."

Peter put down the cutlery in his hand with a calm expression and said to Uncle Ben: "So I sent him an email and asked him to make up for our economic losses, which should be a legitimate and reasonable demand." ”

"I didn't expect that, Tony. Stark will be a superhero! ”

Aunt Mei was also shocked by such news.

"Maybe you should find a lawyer to consult, after all, there are many things we don't understand about the contract provided by the other party."

Although Uncle Ben was also happy to be compensated, he still calmly considered for Peter.

"Well, I understand."

Peter nodded.

Uncle Ben is very happy that his classic car can be put back on the road.

He pulled out three bottles of hard soda from the cupboard, "Looks like we're lucky today to celebrate with a soda." ”

"No, Ben, Peter can't drink, hard soda has more than 5% alcohol, I don't think it's suitable for teenagers."

Aunt Mei, who was strict, immediately rejected her husband's proposal.

"Alright, let's have a drink with two adults."

Uncle Ben, who shrugged his shoulders, said to Peter, "Teenagers are not allowed to touch alcohol or suspect that alcohol exists, Peter, you still have to follow for some time." ”

"I don't think there's more than 5% alcohol in hard soda."

Peter refuted Aunt May's claims.

But looking at Aunt Mei's dangerous gaze, she finally gave up the idea of tasting it.

The other side.

Inside Stark Manor.

"I'm Iron Man! Billionaire openly admits to being a superhero! ”

In the living room, Tony. Stark was flipping through the latest newspaper and sighed helplessly when he saw the news about himself.

"Well, I'm sorry for my recklessness now, at least I have to give myself a little time to think."

Put the newspaper down, Tony. Stark stood up.

His face was steaming, his face was a little red, and he was panting slightly.

He had just finished an intense fencing session.

When I was resting, I picked up the newspaper and immediately commented on it when I saw the report about myself.

"So, what's next? Boss. ”

Harpy put down the sword in his hand and asked the boss unnaturally.

Just now, the boss stabbed himself several times, and he desperately endured the pain without shouting, and his face was flushed.

"I don't know, it's not too good, it's not too bad, is it?"

Tony said to him casually.

After a short break, he asked Harpy, "Harpy, do you know the origin and history of fencing?" ”

"Actually, I'm not very good at that."

Harpy replied to the boss.

"Uh-huh."

Tony. Stark stood up, picked up the fencing mask placed on the table, and said to Harpy:

"In 1776, the French fencing master La Boisier invented the face mask, and the invention of the mask completely isolated the accidental injury in the offensive and defensive confrontation. Since then, the sport has ushered in its golden period of development. ”

Looking at the mask in front of him, Tony. Stark rarely showed off his knowledge, and there was a slight smug look on his face.

"Just like superheroes, wearing a face mask can completely isolate those embarrassments in the confrontation, so many superheroes on the street like to wear face masks."

He went on to say to Harpy: "However, I don't like face masks, I don't like to communicate with people while wearing a mask. ”

After complaining about the masked superheroes, Tony. Stark finally remembered what he was doing.

He asked Harpy, "Harpy, can you tell me more about you and Watts being kidnapped?" Especially the details."

He gestured with his hand, "Be more detailed." ”

"Ugh"

Harpy was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know why the boss suddenly mentioned it again, but he still told the other party again.

Of course, his statement to Tony is that the gun was fired by Uncle Ben.

After all, he has promised the other party to keep it secret, even if it is his own boss, he is not easy to break his promise.

"Are you sure it's Ben. Parker's shot? ”

Tony. Stark asked the other party suspiciously.

"Hey, Harpy, we're friends, aren't we?"

He came up and put his arm around the other person's shoulder, "Ahem. Don't forget that I gave you a raise when I came back, so. Friends never lie to each other, right? ”

"I'm not lying, normally, my left eye looks to the left when I lie, but my eyes have always been normal."

Harpy wanted to fight back.

"Your eyes move to the upper left, I see it."

"No, I don't"

"You moved, I saw it, it's true, okay, admit that you lied."

Ended up in Tony. Under Stark's attack, Harpy had no choice but to become a traitor.

"I knew he wasn't an ordinary person."

Tony. Stark complained when he learned that Peter had shot.

"He blackmailed me for 500,000 today."

"Half a million?"

Harpy's eyes widened.

"Uh-huh, but it's also a thank you to him, he deserves it."

At this time, Tony was interested in investigating Peter's secret.

In the evening.

The open-air café located next to the man-made lake is a delicious open-air café near the Stark Building.

Tony. Stark wore sunglasses and a baseball cap, wrapped himself in full gear.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he sat down quietly.

Flipping through the old newspapers that had been collected in the past, his eyes were fixed on the report on Midtown High School.

After a brief reading again, Tony. Stark fell into deep thought.

"Midtown High School Prom Tragedy? Spider Woman ......"

Stroking the beard on his chin, his mind began to spin.

A few minutes later, the man he was waiting for finally arrived.

"Now the whole world is looking for you, I didn't expect you to hide here."

A middle-aged man came over and sat down opposite him and said.

"The most dangerous place is the safest, and neither journalists nor government people would think that I was right under their noses."

Tony. Stark put down his coffee cup and pushed his sunglasses, "Let's get the conversation back on track, how is the midtown high school prom that I asked you to investigate?" ”

"Of course, that's why I asked you to meet."

The middle-aged man put a file bag on the coffee table.

"It's more complicated than expected, and the New York City government blames the fire on the circuit, but it's a clear attempt to cover it up. This is not the first time they have tried to hide the truth of the matter, similar things have happened many times. ”

Tony. Stark nodded, opened the file bag, looked through the information collected by the middle-aged man and asked, "Regarding the suspect, it is said to be a monster with a spider head, is it true?" ”

"According to the testimony of eyewitnesses at the scene, it is like this."

The middle-aged man nodded with a serious expression, "In addition, there are some things related to it." ”

He pulled a few photos from the file and handed them to Tony. Stark, "This is the lab northeast of Midtown High School, which was badly damaged on the night of the prom tragedy. ”

Tony. Stark shifted his seat, taking a closer look at the photographs of the destruction of the chemistry lab.

Collapsed floors, broken metal cabinets, shards of glass splattered all over the floor, cavities in the walls that have been knocked out

"How did this happen?"

Tony. Stark put down the photo and asked the other person.

"It is said that Spider-Woman and Spider-Monster fought here, but according to detection, there should be a third person involved in the battle."

The middle-aged man said to him, "Two survivors were also found at the scene. Osborne, and Mary Jane. Watson. ”

Hear Harry's name come up, Tony. Stark's expression was shocked.

Peter. Parker isn't Harry. Osborne's best friend?

Is this kid a superpower who has been hiding in the shadows?

Or is it a mutant?

No!

I investigated the information of the other party myself, and the other party could not be a mutant.

He felt himself seeing an existence shrouded in a mist, a danger of approaching the taboo.
