Ben: Today's Spending Is on the Green Goblin Young Master
To be honest, a minor character like Green Goblin would be a piece of cake for Ben.
He defeated his opponent in one move, slamming him into the wall with such force that Green Goblin's helmet shattered.
Beneath the mask was indeed Mendel Stromm.
However, he looked very different from the Ben had seen more than a month ago.
Although no scales grew on his body, his skin turned completely pale green, and his originally obese physique became lean and strong.
To be honest, Mendel Stromm's current maximum strength is probably around ten tons. Add to that the high-tech equipment, and it's no wonder Peter always suffers at his hands.
However, Ben is different from Peter.
The effects weren't immediately apparent when he first gained Spider-Man's Superpowers, but now, his stats in every aspect are superior to Peter's.
The gene optimization effect of the Little Broken Watch gene optimization is very significant.
It can be said that his current strength already exceeds fifty tons, and this strength is still slowly increasing over time.
He doesn't yet know where this growth will end, but stopping a tram like the original Spider-Man probably won't be a problem.
"If I could be as strong as those Supaida-man, I'd be invincible."
This is highly likely.
Putting aside his dreams for the future, Ben stood atop the building, one hand holding the Green Goblin, whose fate was unknown, while waiting for Peter to return.
He had no sympathy for the Green Goblin.
This guy has only himself to blame for ending up like this. He co-founded the company with Osborn, but ultimately colluded with other shareholders to oust Osborn.
Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, business is all about deception and cunning, and after Norman was ousted, nothing was done to him.
Conversely, Ben and Norman's operation to reclaim Osborn was also entirely legal, but this time, he refused to admit his failure and used the stolen serum and equipment to launch an attack!
If Norman hadn't happened to have the Self-Healing Serum with him, he might have really died at his hands.
Even so, Ben did not kill him immediately.
It wasn't because he had a soft heart; simply keeping Mendel Stromm alive was more useful than killing him immediately.
"Although there are Self-Healing Serum, the impact of Osborn's creation of the Lizard Monster hasn't been completely eliminated. If it's not thoroughly resolved, the media will keep bringing it up no matter what."
He thought.
Leaving aside Norman Osborn's help to him and his friendship with Harry, in terms of profit alone, he also owns 25% of the Osborn Corporation.
Now that the Green Goblin is in his hands, as the mastermind behind this series of events, he can conveniently clear the stains on the past of Osborn Corporation, Norman, and Connors.
When the truth is revealed, people will see a pitiful man who struggled to build his business but was kicked out of his own company by capital; they will also see Connors, a disabled man with a strong will, determined to contribute to human health, who willingly risked his life to prevent innocent people from becoming guinea pigs...
In that case, Connors might not even need his current fake identity anymore.
Primus could easily announce that he has been cured and his arm has regenerated, thus rendering the upgraded Self-Healing Serum useless.
All the good things happened at once.
Now Ben finally understood why Norman was so happy after the attack.
Once Mendel Stromm becomes the Green Goblin, all the stains and accusations against Osborn Enterprise can be pinned on him.
Anyway, he's a supervillain, who's going to listen to his defense?
Of course, Ben didn't intend for him to be sent to prison only to be bailed out by some ambitious person and then make a comeback.
He knew that a portion of the New York police force had been infiltrated by Kingpin, and as the emperor of the underworld, being solely criminal wasn't enough.
"Luckily, I have this."
He took a Subjugation Disc from the Web Shooter, then sliced open Green Goblin's skin and stuffed the disk inside.
The principle Subjugation Disc is a neurotoxin, so potent that even the Asgardian's constitutions struggle to withstand it.
Most of the time, the Red King uses it to control slaves so that the poison doesn't get out of control, but in reality, it's very easy to use it to kill someone.
After Ben and the Green Goblin have taken all the blame, then end his life.
Just then, Peter, dressed in a red and blue battle suit, descended from the sky.
"You caught him?"
He asked loudly.
While feeling relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, since Ben did a better job as Spider-Man than him.
"I let that person get away..."
Ben patted Peter on the shoulder and said:
"I bet you'll see him again."
He had already noticed that the assassin was Bullseye. As a professional killer, Bullseye was also very good at hiding himself when retreating. Peter, who had only been Super Hero for a little over a month, still had a lot to learn.
"Where have you been for the past month?" Peter asked. "I couldn't get through on the phone. If I didn't know you had spider- Superpowers like me, I would have worried something had happened to you."
He chattered on and on.
"Do you know that Mary Jane comes over every night to ask if you've come home yet? And Felicia Hardy, she's come a few times too..."
"By the way, Uncle Ben and I haven't told Aunt May yet that you're doing research with someone else, so don't let it slip..." Peter said, hoisting the Green Goblin onto his shoulder.
After a long while, he stopped to give Ben a chance to say a few words.
"It's a long story."
"Then let's make it short."
"I conquered a planet."
Peter:???
Upon hearing this, Peter's spider-like mind nearly failed him; he had expected Ben to recount his travel stories from the Gold Coast.
Perhaps he met a few sexy women in swimsuits, and then had some intimate conversations...
Or perhaps surfing or boating on the ocean...
His impoverished mind, filled with the most extravagant of memories, imagined Ben's month of blissful life, imagining it to be incredibly exciting and thrilling.
Now it seems,
It was still very exciting, perhaps even a little too exciting.
"Another planet! That's so cool! Why can you go to another planet and be a hero, while I'm stuck in tiny New York, dealing with gangsters who rob old ladies?" Peter complained habitually.
But he quickly recovered from his disappointment and said, "Okay, at least you still have two big problems to deal with. Let's take Green Goblin to the Police Station first."
Peter walked to the side of the building and was about to swing on the Silk when Ben called him back.
"You're just going to send him there like this?"
"Otherwise what?"
Peter scratched his head. "Isn't it just taking the criminal to the Police Station?"
What else needs to be done?
"You send him to the Police Station, and then what? Nobody knows the Green Goblin has been caught. Anyone can get him bailed out with just a little bit of connections."
"No way..." Peter said uncertainly, "At least the sheriff I know wouldn't do that."
"The Police Station isn't something the sheriff can decide on his own," Ben said.
"Then what should I do?"
"You need to let all of New York know that Spider-Man defeated the Green Goblin. That way, if the Green Goblin reappears, the New York Police Department will face a lot of public pressure."
Ben taught.
Although Green Goblin is destined to die, it's a good thing that he's used to help Peter grow.
He didn't earnestly preach to Peter about eradicating evil completely, because he knew Peter wasn't that kind of person.
In the comics, Kingpin's assassins hit Aunt May, bringing Aunt May to the brink of death. Peter angrily declared he would kill Kingpin, but ultimately did not bring himself to do it.
"Does it have to go to this extent?"
Peter felt a little awkward; to him, it seemed like he was boasting about his achievements, like he was putting on a show.
But Ben nodded immediately.
"The key is to draw everyone's attention to ensure the criminal receives the fairest trial. I suggest you take the Green Goblin to the Daily Bugle and all the major newspapers, then remove his mask and let everyone see his true identity."
"Wait, me?" Peter pointed to himself, "But you're the one who defeated him."
"I have other things to do."
Ben shook his head and said.
He doesn't care much about fame; ultimately, acting as Spider-Man is just an occasional pleasure for Ben.
After parting ways with Peter.
Ben, swinging on his Silk, arrived at the Osborn Manor.
Harry sat in his room, looking down at his phone.
In just a short while, the Green Goblin was captured, and a blurry video of a second Spider-Man was posted on YouTube, quickly gaining popularity.
"Dad, Spider-Man caught the Green Goblin!" Harry almost jumped up with excitement the moment he saw the news.
Norman, who was standing nearby, was overjoyed. He quickly walked over, snatched the phone from him, and started looking at it himself.
However, since these videos were uploaded privately, the resolution is low, and Green Goblin's true identity is unclear.
But regardless of who the Green Goblin really is, Norman knows he needs to act quickly.
At this moment, the butler hurried in, knocked on the door, and said:
"Mr. Osborn, someone has come to visit."
Tell him I don't have time right now.
The butler didn't leave immediately. His hand rested on the old-fashioned doorknob, he hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "But it's Parker. Ben Parker."
Swish!
Norman and Harry looked up at the same time.
"Then hurry up and let him in! No, I'll go myself!"
Norman tossed Harry's phone back and strode out. As he passed the butler, he added, "Next time he comes, don't announce him. Just bring him in."
"Yes."
A few minutes later, Norman saw Ben at the door.
"What a wonderful day!"
He laughed and said he was as happy as if he were seeing his own son.
This made Harry, who was following behind him, feel like he should be under the car...
"I have even better news, Uncle Norman." Ben smiled slightly and pulled a stack of documents from his bag.
"This is?"
"Evidence of Mendel Stromm's crimes."
Hearing this, Norman laughed even harder.
He immediately put his arm around Ben's shoulder and pulled him into the house. When he turned around and saw Harry, he couldn't help but glare at him, thinking to himself, "Why isn't this brat a little girl?"
Harry:???
Ben had no idea what Norman was thinking at that moment. If he had known, he would have told him that even if Harry turned into a girl, it would be out of the question for him; Peter was his true love!
The three people returned to the house.
"Benny Ban, you've given me such a pleasant surprise as soon as you got back! Come on in, have a seat! We'll have dinner at my house tonight!"
Norman gestured for Ben to sit down, then instructed the butler to prepare dinner. At the same time, he took the documents Ben had handed him and began reading them word for word.
"I won't eat dinner, I have to go home," Ben said quickly.
"Then why don't we have Ben, May, and Peter over together? Harry, give Peter a call..."
"No," Ben reached out and stopped Harry from dialing, saying, "I haven't been home since I got back to New York. If Aunt May knew that the first thing I did when I got back wasn't to go home, she'd be very upset."
Norman nodded upon hearing this.
"You're a good child, Benny."
He acknowledged, saying, "After going through so much, I've come to realize that family is the most important thing."
Ben agreed with this.
Then he told Norman about his ideas.
This clearly coincides with Norman's views.
"That's what I was planning too, but I have very little evidence. Stromm is very efficient; I never expected you could gather so much evidence. During the time you disappeared, you weren't working as a detective, were you?"
Upon hearing this, Ben simply smiled.
Norman thought it took him a month to gather this evidence, but in reality, he only had Eunice begin the investigation after learning that Mendel Stromm might be the Green Goblin.
Only a few hours have passed since the investigation began, but most of the evidence is already complete.
However, Ben thought for a moment and added, "Besides these, I think Mendel Stromm might have done some things that are unknown to others..."
He didn't say it explicitly, but a look of realization appeared on Norman's face.
Since it is unknown to others, it can be fabricated at will.
Mendel Stromm was like a bank robber; he could decide how much to take, but he couldn't control how much the bank would reimburse him.
More importantly, although Stromm became the Green Goblin and lost his shares in Osborn, his personal assets are still a large sum of money.
Putting aside everything else, Ben paid quite a bit of money when he bought Osborn instruments from him!
Norman nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, I recall there seemed to be some issues with Osborn's bills recently, and the amount of stolen property seems to be more than this..."
He did a quick calculation and realized that what was originally a loss was just a set of Green Goblin Equipment and a few defective potions, but now the bill had suddenly skyrocketed to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Seeing the two men colluding in evil, Harry, who had always idolized his father, felt as if some kind of filter had been completely shattered.
