Kingpin

Ben and Norman talked for a while.

The two then started talking about the profits from Self-Healing Serum.

Actually, he already knew this part from Eunice.

All the profits from the drug belonged to Primus. Although it only lasted for a month, the large number of military orders made him a fortune, and Ben became one of the youngest billionaires in New York.

"Our production can't keep up with the orders right now. You need to talk to Connors and tell him to start breeding those baby lizards as soon as possible," Norman reminded him.

Currently, Primus is only paying deposits for the orders it receives, since there is no stock available.

In Norman's view, such low production was a huge blow to the company's profits, and even though he wouldn't get a single penny of that money, he was still worried about Ben.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Then the other party began preparing to accuse Mendel Stromm.

Although Osborn had a professional legal team, Ben still recommended Matt Murdoch to him.

After that, he abandoned the matter and instead inquired about Harry's company.

"The phones are now on sale."

Speaking of this, Harry is no longer sleepy.

As Osborn's son, Harry could easily find several production lines.

Moreover, since it was just a civilian smartphone, the required technology was not very advanced, and the first batch of phones was produced very quickly.

Using the Self-Healing Serum to make Primus famous, Harry messed up his phone and quickly gained considerable popularity.

Although the profit margin of mobile phones is far less than that of Self-Healing Serum, the advantage lies in the large market and the ability to quickly expand production, so the total profit is still very considerable.

Harry's direct reporting of the month's revenue had already changed Ben's original plan not to be involved in the communications industry long-term.

Why not make money if you have it?

These departments with lower technical requirements can be completely handed over to Harry, which will be a good opportunity for him to gain experience.

With Harry's brain, it would be difficult for him to do inventions, but he can still do simple things better than most ordinary people.

Then, Ben left Osborn Manor with several new cell phones in his hand.

At the same time, he was also thinking about telling Uncle Ben and Aunt May that he had started a company.

"Now that Primus has started generating revenue, there's absolutely no need to hide it from them anymore."

Ben had kept it a secret because the Parker Family didn't have much risk to bear. Although he knew failure was impossible, he did it to avoid worrying them.

There's no need for that now.

Queens.

I was driving, feeling a bit tired.

He went out to look for work again today, but he was turned down everywhere. Not many people were willing to hire someone who was too old and didn't know how to use modern electronic devices.

Even store cashiers need to know how to use a cash register.

"Fortunately Peter earned some money taking pictures of Spider-Man during this time, which eased some of the burden on his family."

He wiped his sweat and sighed.

He felt bad about having a child who was still in school shoulder the family's financial burden. Besides, if things continued like this, they would have a hard time paying for Peter and Ben's college tuition.

In addition, he was also very worried about Peter's safety.

The newspapers publish daily stories of Spider-Man battling supervillains, and Peter taking pictures of him could get him into trouble.

"If all else fails, how about modifying the car, installing a guardrail, and then driving it as a taxi?"

Although I can't sit for long periods because of back pain, there's no better solution right now.

However, even the air conditioning in his Rust Bucket RV was broken, so he would need to repair it before he could drive it as a taxi.

"I wonder how Benny is doing in the lab?"

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw two familiar figures standing in front of his house.

"Benny?"

Outside, Ben was standing side by side with Mary Jane.

After leaving Osborn, Ben rushed home, only to find no one there. Aunt May was still at work, and Uncle Ben was out looking for work.

Mary Jane, on the other hand, saw him from the window and immediately ran downstairs.

After not seeing him for a month, Mary Jane was overjoyed to see Ben the moment she saw him, her face lighting up like a bright flower.

And they couldn't wait to ask what kind of research Ben had been doing in the lab.

Ben casually mentioned some data from his experiments with Connors. Mary Jane listened in a daze, not understanding a single word, but she still blinked her big eyes and kept agreeing, as if she wanted to hear whatever he said.

Just then, they heard the sound of a car behind them. Ben and Mary Jane looked over at the same time and saw Ben, with his full head of white hair, sticking his head out of the window and waving at them.

Seeing this, Mary Jane didn't intend to delay Ben's time reuniting with his family, and said:

"Then I'll head back now."

She waved and prepared to leave.

Actually, she had a lot more to say to Ben, but she hadn't had a chance to speak yet, as she had been listening the whole time.

I'll come find you later.

Uncle Ben parked the car, walked over, and asked curiously, "Why did she leave? Did I disturb you?"

"No," Ben shook his head.

"By the way, Uncle Ben, there's something I need to tell you."

The two of them walked into the house together.

Ben smiled and said, "What is it? Is it related to your experiment?"

"No, I own a company."

--

In the evening, the family sat at the dining table.

Even now, they still feel like they're dreaming that Ben has started a company.

"So, we've suddenly become rich just like that?" Aunt May asked cautiously, as if afraid of disturbing this beautiful dream.

The Ben nodded, which gave her confidence.

At that moment, it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off the shoulders of the two elderly people, and even the furrowed brows of their eyebrows relaxed a little.

Aunt May couldn't help but shed tears. Still holding the spatula, she gave Ben a big hug and said happily, "That's wonderful! It seems we no longer have to worry about not having enough money to send both of you to college."

Even now, the people they care about most are still Ben and Peter.

"Peter, you don't seem surprised at all. Did you already know?" Uncle Ben looked at Peter with a hint of reproach, as if blaming him for not telling him the news sooner.

Peter shook his head. "I just found out too."

He wasn't surprised at all because he had already heard much more surprising things today.

Compared to conquering a planet, what is starting a company?

"It's not just about college tuition; we can have a better life. We can move out of Queens, buy a few bigger houses, and you won't have to work so hard anymore," Ben said.

But Aunt May and Uncle Ben both shook their heads.

They exchanged a glance, and then Uncle Ben said earnestly:

"To be honest, Benny, you've always made us very proud, and now you've achieved so much. We're all very happy for you. However, we don't want you to squander money recklessly."

Ben was genuinely happy for Ben, but at the same time he was also somewhat worried, fearing that the enormous wealth might lead Ben to become addicted.

Ben understood this perfectly. In his previous life, he had a relative who made a lot of money at a young age, which made him arrogant and conceited. He later became addicted to gambling, not only losing all his possessions but also accumulating a lot of debt, eventually ending up working as a sewing machine operator.

"Don't worry, Uncle Ben, I just want to change our lives."

Ben said, "The meaning of my earning money is to have a better environment and not be tied down by life."

Actually, Ben's main goal was to get Uncle Ben and Aunt May out of Queens and into a place with better security.

However, neither of them really wanted to move away from here.

"We've lived here for over thirty years, Benny. This house is older than both of you combined," Aunt May said.

"We know everything about this neighborhood, we know it like the back of our hand, we know everyone who lives here, like Mrs. Walls, Mrs. Laura, and Little Billy two houses away..."

Aunt May Streep knows every single name like the back of her hand.

Then Ben said:

"We've already put down roots here. If we were suddenly asked to leave, we would feel lost and... lonely."

Perhaps this is what most elderly people look like.

As people get older, they become less receptive to new things, especially when they go to a new environment or meet new people.

Because they understand that they don't have much time left to live.

Ben expressed his understanding of this.

Since Uncle Ben and Aunt May don't plan to leave Queens, he doesn't intend to force them.

There's really no need to force it.

"Coincidentally, the Machine Warrior in the Ben 10 universe are quite advanced."

He was thinking.

We can easily strengthen security here and have machines patrol the area.

The armor Ben had previously taken from Stark, along with the technological artifacts from Sakaar, provided him with considerable inspiration.

Now Primus has started to make a profit, and he also has the funds to do this research.

On one side, Ben gave them the new cell phone as a gift, while on the other side, Bullseye, whose mission had failed, returned to Kingpin's side.

Inside the spacious and opulent hall, Kingpin, dressed in a white suit, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the bustling New York.

For someone like him, New York is the true city of the world.

All the evils in this city were created by his own hands, the veins that continuously channeled money and power to him.

"You've failed, Lester."

Before Bullseye could speak, Kingpin had already spoken first.

His voice was deep.

"That's quite unusual."

Kingpin turned around and sat on the huge black throne, his arms crossed.

Generally speaking, he wouldn't tolerate failure, but he always had to be a little lenient with his most capable subordinate.

What's more, their opponent is Spider-Man.

Two Spider-Man.
