Green Goblin Attacks

Max's act of absorbing electricity not only drew a crowd of nearby citizens taking photos, but also caught the police's attention. In his panic, Max blasted a car with lightning. The police were frightened and all pointed their guns at Max!

Max grew even more flustered and raised his hands to explain. Just then, he discovered that all the screens around him had switched to show him. Having always loved attention, he could not help but smile.

But in the eyes of the police, Max's smile was utterly sinister. They immediately prepared to open fire and subdue the monster!

If the police really fired, everything would become irreversible. At that critical moment, the radio on Chief McKen's body suddenly crackled to life.

Lao Mai, the precinct director, spoke through the radio. "Everyone, don't act rashly. Lower your guns. Chief McKen, turn on the loudspeaker. Someone wants to speak with that... uh, that person!"

The officers exchanged looks. After hesitating for a moment, Chief McKen raised a hand to signal everyone to stop, then turned on the loudspeaker. A voice rang out from it. "Max, is that you?"

"It's me, Mr. Wang, it's me!"

Hearing Wang Bert's voice, Max shouted excitedly. In his excitement, electricity flickered over his body, scaring one officer so badly that he nearly fired by accident! Wang Bert asked, "Max, what's going on with you? I heard you died, so I specifically rushed back from Las Vegas. Then I saw online that you'd become, oh, Electro?"

"I don't know what happened either. I became like this after falling into the Electric Eel Pool. Mr. Wang, help me!"

Max shouted, his heart filled with gratitude. Such an important man had actually returned specifically for him. That was truly rare.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Bert said, "Max, you're not suited to staying somewhere with so many people right now. Come meet me at Hell's Kitchen Pier, and we'll talk in detail!"

"Meet you?"

Max asked worriedly, "Mr. Wang, in my current state, won't I put you in danger?"

"Don't worry. I know you won't hurt me!"

Wang Bert smiled. Max was deeply moved. Mr. Wang trusted him so much? After Wang Bert ended the call, the precinct director ordered, "Find a truck and send this gentleman over."

Chief McKen lowered his head and spoke into his radio unhappily. "Director, he destroyed a car, and he's dangerous! We should lock him up!"

"Are you sure you can catch him?"

The precinct director said, "I don't want to be collecting your bodies. As for the damaged property, someone will compensate for it, so don't worry. Take him over now. And be polite!"

"Yes, Director!"

Chief McKen had no choice but to agree, secretly cursing, Damn rich people.

Clearly, that Mr. Wang had bought off the precinct director. But the director was right about one thing: they might not be able to defeat that monster. In that case, sending him away was not necessarily a bad thing! Next, the police began dispersing the surrounding citizens and found a truck to take Max away.

The reason they used a truck rather than a police car was that Max was giving off electricity. Putting him in a police car would be too dangerous—an insulated chair and cushion could be installed in a truck.

Max did not resist. Mr. Wang was clearly helping him, and while he might have been somewhat withdrawn, he really was not a bad person! A bad person would not have endured being bullied for so long!

In the movie, Max had become a villain mainly because too many negative emotions had built up inside him, and because he had no friends around him who cared about him.

Now that someone cared about him, coupled with how well his life had been going recently, Max naturally would not erupt so easily.

It was worth mentioning that Spider-Man did not appear at all during the entire incident. The reason was simple: he was currently serving as a sparring partner at Dragon Subduing Teahouse, being chased all over the place by the sisters Jessica and Trish! Since quite a few people uploaded what had just happened online, news of the incident in the square quickly spread. In his bedroom, Norman Osborn excitedly clenched his fist. "Hell's Kitchen Pier! Bert Wang, I'll send you to hell right now!"

Hell's Kitchen had a pier that originally belonged to Rand Corporation. When Wang Bert emptied out Rand Corporation, he had taken it over in passing, so the pier now belonged to him! Under the bright lights, Wang Bert sat in a chair by the sea, quietly waiting for Electro's arrival. Around him stood Natasha, Mercury, and ten fully armed guards.

After an unknown amount of time, a truck drove over. Electro Max jumped down from the cargo compartment. He was so excited to see Wang Bert that he nearly lost control of the electricity! "Don't rush!"

Wang Bert smiled and motioned for Natasha to deal with the police who had followed them. Then he pointed to the seat beside him and said to Max, "Max, come over. Let's have a good talk!"

"Yes, Mr. Wang!"

Max walked over and carefully sat beside Wang Bert. He asked hopefully, "Mr. Wang, can you help me change back?"

"I'm not a scientist, so I can't promise you that. I can only provide you with the best hospital and the best doctors!"

Wang Bert said, "But in my opinion, you probably can't change back. Even the nature of your life has changed!"

"What? I can't change back?"

Max became extremely agitated, and a streak of lightning shot toward Wang Bert out of his control. Max was horrified, but he could not stop it. To his shock, Wang Bert casually waved a hand, and the lightning burst apart in midair.

Max asked in disbelief, "Mr. Wang, you?"

Wang Bert frankly said, "I'm a Vampire with some special abilities!"

"A Vampire?"

Max was so shocked that his eyes practically glowed with electricity. He asked, "Vampires really exist?"

"Of course they do. Aside from Natalie, everyone here is a Vampire!"

Wang Bert smiled. "What, are you going to stay away from me, this monster?"

"Of course not. Mr. Wang, you're my friend. I won't leave you!"

Max waved his hands repeatedly. Then, thinking of something, he said with a bitter smile, "I'm a monster too now!"

"You don't need to be so despairing. Even if you truly can't be cured, you still have three paths to choose from!"

"There are three paths? What are they?"

Max asked in delight. Natasha, who had returned after sending off the police, also pricked up her ears to listen!

"The first path is that of a supervillain!"

Wang Bert said, "Like Green Goblin, you now have this kind of power. You would become a notorious villain everyone despises, but your name would also become known on every street."

"A villain? No, I won't be a bad person!"

Max shook his head repeatedly. Although the prospect of becoming famous tempted him greatly, he truly did not want to become a bad person!

"The second path is joining S.H.I.E.L.D. as an agent!"

Wang Bert continued, briefly introducing S.H.I.E.L.D. Natasha could not help shooting him a glance. Would this guy really be so kind?

Max was a little tempted. He asked, "An agent like 007?"

"Of course not! S.H.I.E.L.D. is a spy organization that loves hiding everything. If you become one of their agents, no one will know who you are. Even your very existence will be erased!"

Wang Bert said, "Besides, everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. is paranoid, so you'll definitely be watched and treated with suspicion! There's one Cyclops in particular who'll keep staring at you and won't even leave you alone when you use the bathroom!

Of course, it isn't without benefits. You'll make many contributions to this world, and you'll become a noble person."

"But no one would know about my contributions. I'm not interested!"

Max shook his head. He did not want to be a bad person, but neither did he want to be an unknown good person! "In that case, you only have the third path left!"

Wang Bert patted Max on the shoulder and said, "Make your debut as a Super Hero!"

Max was stunned. He asked, "A Super Hero? Like my good friend Spider-Man?"

"Yes, a Super Hero like Spider-Man. Fight evil, save the weak, and be admired by the citizens!"

Wang Bert stood up and said, "Actually, I've always had an idea—to cultivate a Super Hero star. I think you might be suitable."

Max was even more astonished. "A Super Hero star?"

"That's right. Manage a Super Hero like a celebrity, then make money by selling merchandise!"

Wang Bert said, "If the fame becomes great enough, perhaps we can even sell the rights and make movies in the future. But that's only an idea of mine. I haven't started putting it into practice yet!"

"Mr. Wang, I think this can work."

Max excitedly stood up. A Super Hero, a star—this was exactly what he had dreamed of. At that time, everyone's eyes would be focused on him, just like Spider-Man and Iron Man.

If that really happened, becoming a monster would be no big deal. He would even save on turning on the lights every night! "No rush. Let's get you examined first! Think carefully about which path you want to take next. Aside from the supervillain route, I'll support whichever one you choose!"

Wang Bert said as he patted Max on the shoulder. Max was deeply grateful. Mr. Wang was simply too good to him. In the future, he would definitely repay him properly!

Natasha looked at Max somewhat speechlessly. Was he really that easy to win over? He was practically ready to give Wang Bert everything he had! It seemed S.H.I.E.L.D. could forget about poaching him from Wang Bert's side.

Wang Bert said, "All right, we can talk about the rest later. First, let me help you get revenge!"

Max was confused. "Revenge? Revenge for what?"

"Your death wasn't an accident. Someone tampered with things!"

Wang Bert said, "That person is Green Goblin, the one who killed you and McKen. He should be arriving soon!"

"Green Goblin? He's the one who made me like this?"

Max flew into a rage, crackling electric arcs bursting from his body. Wang Bert used qi to suppress the arcs and said, "Don't get worked up. I'll help you get revenge. Just watch from the side!"

Max said, "Mr. Wang, I can help!"

"You can't control yourself yet. We'll talk about it later!"

Wang Bert waved a hand. At that moment, a green object trailing thick black smoke rapidly flew over from the horizon. Wang Bert motioned for Natasha to take Max to the back to watch the show, while he, Mercury, and the ten guards remained where they were waiting! The attacker was none other than Old Green Goblin riding a Glider. He shouted resentfully from the sky, "Blood God, your time has come!"

"Green Goblin, you're the one who's going to die."

Wang Bert sneered. "And by the way, your Glider is really bad for the environment. You should learn from Iron Man!"

"Go to hell!"

Old Green Goblin flew into a rage. A Micro Missile emerged from beneath the Glider and shot toward Wang Bert at extreme speed! At the same time, eight figures suddenly emerged from behind the cargo containers on the pier and simultaneously threw grenades into the sky. The grenades exploded in midair, but there were no flames—only blinding Ultraviolet light that made one's eyes feel as if they were being scorched by fire! Ultraviolet Grenades, something Wang Bert had failed to develop back then. Old Green Goblin had succeeded, specifically to deal with Vampires and to disrupt Wang Bert so he could not evade the missile! "That's somewhat creative!"

Wang Bert shut his eyes immediately, then swept both hands out. A faint red glow enveloped the missile. The missile made a half-turn in midair and shot back toward Old Green Goblin! Old Green Goblin's expression changed. He hurriedly activated his machine guns and blew up the missile in midair with a boom, flames blooming like fireworks! At that moment, the Ultraviolet light vanished. Old Green Goblin was shocked to discover that Mercury and the others had not died at all. Their eyes were merely red and swollen, causing them great discomfort!

Made by Tony Stark, guaranteed quality!

"What's going on? Aren't ordinary Vampires afraid of Ultraviolet light?"

Old Green Goblin was deeply puzzled. He waved a hand, and the eight figures from earlier all raised assault rifles and fired at the group. He also aimed his machine guns at Wang Bert! "For Blood God, kill them."

Mercury drew her Samurai Sword and charged at the eight figures, her form flickering like a phantom. The bullets could not hit her at all. In fact, if she wished, she could even split bullets apart with her blade!

Five of the ten guards charged alongside Mercury, while the other five drew the submachine guns at their waists and fired at the figures opposite them, forcing them to take cover! The guards were extremely excited. They could finally be useful!

The guards dealt with the Enhanced Humans, while Wang Bert naturally dealt with Old Green Goblin. He formed a red-glowing shield with Iron Fist Power in front of himself, then rapidly closed in on Old Green Goblin through the machine-gun fire! As Old Green Goblin retreated, he threw three Pumpkin Bombs at Wang Bert. Wang Bert waved a hand from afar, and a faint red glow knocked the Pumpkin Bombs back toward Old Green Goblin, forcing him to detonate them early.

Boom, boom, boom! The shockwaves from the exploding Pumpkin Bombs made Old Green Goblin waver slightly in the air. By the time he steadied himself, Wang Bert had vanished from sight!

Just as Old Green Goblin was about to search for Wang Bert, an intense whistling sound suddenly came from behind him. Before he could dodge, Wang Bert's red-glowing Iron Fist smashed into his back. He screamed and fell from his Glider.

Before Old Green Goblin could hit the ground, Wang Bert appeared beside him again and kicked out. Old Green Goblin flew straight away like a kite with its string cut, crashing through a cargo container and falling inside with a bang! Wang Bert's figure flashed out of sight. When he reappeared, he was already inside the container, where three rapidly spinning throwing knives greeted him.

Wang Bert smiled disdainfully. One of his fingers turned into three blood arrows, instantly piercing through all three throwing knives. Old Green Goblin took the chance to climb up from the ground and punched at Wang Bert through the pain! Wang Bert grabbed Old Green Goblin's wrist, turned, and hurled him hard to the ground in an over-the-shoulder throw.

Old Green Goblin was left dizzy and disoriented by the throw. Before he could recover, Wang Bert's red-glowing foot stomped heavily on his chest. Even with the protection of the Green Goblin Armor, even after being enhanced, the ribs in his chest snapped on the spot and even pierced into his internal organs!

Old Green Goblin screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Wang Bert raised a hand and lifted Old Green Goblin through the air, then grabbed him by the throat and pinned him against the cargo container's iron wall. He sneered, "Norman, you're so weak! I haven't even used ten percent of my strength!"

Old Green Goblin had been glaring venomously at Wang Bert, but when he heard his name, he was instantly shocked. "You know who I am?"

"Anyone with eyes can tell, can't they?"

Wang Bert removed Old Green Goblin's helmet and said, "Only ordinary people would think Green Goblin is Dr. Storm!"
