Ben: What, You're Here for Me?
"Jameson."
Tell me, who's taking pictures of Spider-Man? Does anyone know where Spider-Man is?
Kraven asked in a cold voice.
Below us are sheer cliffs dozens of stories high.
Jameson knew very well that if this guy let go, he would die on the spot.
"I don't know, he's been anonymously mailing photos..."
In that instant, Jameson's mind flashed back to his son becoming an astronaut, his wife reminding him to take his high blood pressure medication every day, his company, his life...
He thought about it a lot, but he never considered saying Peter Parker's name.
"You know, he might actually be Spider-Man himself... otherwise, why wouldn't he show his face in public?"
Jameson was unaware that he had hit the nail on the head; he simply wanted to protect Peter Parker from the terrible villains who were still in school.
At that moment, he felt both fear and a growing conviction that Spider-Man was a pest!
If it weren't for him, how could his newspaper have been attacked?
Peter Parker, that good boy, couldn't possibly get involved in such a dangerous situation.
He remembered that Peter Parker's family situation didn't seem to be very good, which could be seen from his behavior and clothing.
The poor kid, just because he knows Spider-Man, now danger has come knocking on his door.
Kraven didn't believe his nonsense at all. "Don't try anything funny, Jameson. I don't have time to waste with you."
Just then, Robbie rushed in and shouted, "Sir, what he said is true. None of us know Spider-Man!"
As a Spider-Man fan, Robbie is also a champion of justice.
He knew that Peter Parker and Spider-Man knew each other, which wasn't exactly a secret within the newspaper, but like Jameson, he had no intention of revealing it.
"Yeah?"
Kraven turned his head, but his arm stretched a few centimeters further out of the building, and at the same time, his the Five Fingers tightened, making it almost impossible for Jameson to breathe.
His expression was cold. "I wonder if this will improve your memory?"
He wasn't just threatening Jameson; he was threatening all the newspaper's employees.
Seeing this, Jameson kept giving those people meaningful glances, but no matter what, with so many employees in the newspaper, it was impossible for every single one of them to be righteous and willing to die for someone else's life.
Under Kraven's beast-like gaze, someone soon couldn't help but tell the truth.
"It's Peter Parker, a student at Midtown High School!"
Shut up! I'm firing you!
Jameson's face turned red, and he started cursing, but Kraven slapped him so hard he passed out.
Then, he tossed Jameson back to the newspaper office like trash, and jumped off the building himself.
Robbie reacted quickly, catching Jameson and then crouching down at the breach created by the blast, looking down.
In the blink of an eye, Kraven had vanished.
Betty trotted over in her high heels, supporting Jameson with one hand, and said worriedly, "Peter is in danger. We need to call the police or contact him quickly so he can hide as soon as possible."
Robbie nodded.
"It would be even better if he could get in touch with Spider-Man."
Fortunately, because Peter frequently visited the newspaper office during this period, the Daily Bugle still had his phone number, even though he wasn't a full-time employee.
Betty and Robbie each called their respective emergency services: one called Peter, and the other dialed 120 (emergency services), preparing to take the unconscious Jameson to the hospital.
Unfortunately, Peter didn't receive Betty's call because he was still in class.
On the contrary, it was Ben who was contacted by Eunice shortly after the Daily Bugle was attacked.
Since the Daily Bugle is always associated with Spider-Man, Ben also listed it as a key target for observation.
The moment Eunice reported to him, Ben realized that someone couldn't find Spider-Man, so they were targeting Peter.
Before acquiring Hammer Industries, he might have been a little worried, but now, with those defensive robots on high alert, if those foolish villains really did manage to track down Uncle Ben and Aunt May, the Iron Warriors would teach them a lesson immediately.
It's okay, just be more careful in your next life.
Of course, if they were looking for Peter, Ben wouldn't care.
Ultimately, these rebels want to find a different path simply because they can't beat Spider-Man, right?
Instead of worrying about Peter, we should worry about the school that was recently repaired.
If this gets ruined again, the Principal will probably be overjoyed.
After Kraven left the Daily Bugle, he immediately relayed the news to Kingpin.
Kingpin, as the Underground Emperor of New York, naturally had capable people at his disposal, and they quickly found all the superficial information about Peter Parker.
Queens was just an ordinary boy from Queens, Kingpin his impoverished background reminded him of his own childhood.
However, he wasn't as cowardly as Peter. Kingpin sneered, "Grab him and find out where Spider-Man is!"
Without him saying so, this was exactly what Kraven was going to do.
He felt no guilt about arresting a student who was completely defenseless.
Using bait is a common method for catching prey.
He leaped between buildings and quickly located Midtown High School. The sight of the Arc de Triomphe-like landmark immediately stunned Kraven.
Wait, buddy, is this a school?
For a moment, Kraven thought he had gone to the wrong place.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before he noticed that behind the grand gate was still just an ordinary public school.
So he made no attempt to hide and rushed straight inside.
His thuggish appearance immediately caught the attention of the school security guards, but even if they picked up Riot Shield and forks, it was like a mantis raising its arms to try and stop a moving wheel.
Kraven took them all down in a single move.
He didn't care about the lives of ordinary people who weren't on his kill list, nor would he deliberately kill them.
Teaching Building.
Peter is still in class.
He already knew all the knowledge the teacher had mentioned by heart, so he was still daydreaming, wondering if he should also make some small inventions to enhance his battle suit.
But then he thought again that the suit Ben had made for him was already functional enough, and even if he wanted to improve it, he wouldn't know where to start.
Then he thought of Connors' research and wondered what kind of product he would get if he used Variable Device to mutate the Spider Gene.
The next moment, a jolt of electricity suddenly flashed through his brain.
Peter a chill run through his body.
Then he suddenly stood up, attracting the attention of the whole class.
"Peter!"
The teacher looked at him with displeasure.
Normally, because Peter excellent grades, his teachers don't usually bother with minor issues like him daydreaming in class. But now, he has seriously disrupted the classroom order.
"Peter?" Mary Jane was in the same class as Peter. She noticed that Peter seemed a little absent-minded and tried to remind him in a low voice.
But Peter ignored it. Having been Spider-Man for so long, he had long since adapted to his Spider-Sense. At this moment, his expression changed, and he immediately realized that something unusual was about to happen.
His intuition told him to turn and look out the window.
"Whoosh!"
Shattered glass splattered everywhere.
A strong figure burst through the window!
In an instant, all the students and teachers were thrown into a state of panic by this sudden attack.
However, given that they live in a country where gunfights break out at the slightest provocation, they all instinctively covered their heads and crouched down under the table in this situation.
Unlike Connors' previous attack, Kraven's purpose was clear, and he was more rational and decisive.
He wouldn't be distracted by ordinary students; from beginning to end, his goal was only one— Peter Parker.
And coincidentally, Peter was the only person still standing at the scene.
Mary Jane crouched down, using the table as cover, trying to run to Peter's side and pull the Ben- minded Bant brother down to hide.
However, she was a bit far from Peter, and before she could take more than a few steps, Kraven made his move first.
"You're Peter Parker?"
Kraven pounced on Peter, his strong arms grabbing Peter by the collar and lifting him up.
The moment Peter saw Kraven, Peter recognized him as the villain who had appeared in court before.
He wanted to rebel, but now was not the right time.
In full view of everyone, he is Peter Parker, not Spider-Man.
"It's me..."
"So, you know where Spider-Man is?"
Upon hearing this, Peter immediately said, "I don't know where he lives, but I can help you contact him. How about this, you tell me a time and place, then go back and wait for news, and I'll pass it on to him?"
Peter's small stature contrasted sharply with Kraven's.
"No need for all that trouble. Even if we capture you, Spider-Man will still come!"
Kraven was about to make a move, but at that moment, a whooshing sound came from above. He looked down and saw a chair fly over his head.
Flash stepped forward.
This usual school bully was now wearing Bootleg Spider-Man Merchandise, and he displayed a heroic demeanor in front of Kraven.
"Release Peter, or I'll beat you to a pulp!"
"Wait, Flash, don't do anything rash!"
Peter shouted.
He couldn't believe that Flash would stand up for him in something like this. While surprised, he also worried about Flash's safety.
Despite Kraven similar physiques, Kraven possesses Superpowers and strength, potentially surpassing even Captain America's. Flash, on the other hand, is merely an ordinary human; Flash fight against Kraven would only result in injury.
"Shut up, Parker. I'm not here to save you. I'm just doing what Spider-Man does."
Flash clenched his fists and brought them together in front of his chest, assuming a boxing stance.
Then, looking at Kraven with displeasure, he said, "Let Peter go. He doesn't understand Spider-Man at all. I'm the real Spider-Man fan!"
"Nerve."
Kraven scoffed at the mention of Flash.
However, Flash couldn't stand being looked down upon like that, especially since this guy actually thought Peter knew Spider-Man better than he did.
Without a second thought, he lunged at Kraven and threw a powerful punch.
Then he was knocked down...
That's it?
Kraven chuckled dismissively and was about to leave when Kingpin's voice came through his earpiece.
"Wait, Kraven."
He stopped.
Kingpin continued, "Peter Parker has a brother, bring him here too!"
Kingpin knew very well that those so-called Super Hero believed in sacrificing themselves for others, and not only were they like that, but those who spent every day with them were also influenced by them.
Just like the owner of the Daily Bugle and that black man Robbie, they would rather sacrifice themselves than reveal Peter Parker's name.
Therefore, Kingpin worried that Peter was also stubborn.
But it's okay.
Everyone has a weakness.
Threatening Peter Parker's own life might not work, but using the lives of his loved ones to coerce him would be a completely different story.
Kraven found Kingpin's words very reasonable.
Actually, he had just met Peter and knew that the kid had a lion in his eyes.
Lu Mingfei:???
In short, he doesn't seem like the kind of spineless coward who would be easily defeated.
Without hesitation, Kraven smashed through the wall, carried Peter, and rushed into Ben's classroom.
Originally, the others in the Ben classroom had only heard a loud noise and didn't know what had happened. Now, the entire classroom was plunged into the same panic.
Kraven hoisted Peter up like he was carrying a pig's leg, glanced around, and shouted, "Who is Ben Parker?"
No answer is needed.
Kraven realized that the Parker family members seemed to be quite daring.
He looked at Ben and smiled.
"Looks like it's you."
Ben ignored him, his gaze fixed on Peter, who was being held captive, as if asking him what he was doing.
Peter an awkward smile.
"Benny, run!"
Mary Jane saw Kraven crash through a wall and charge at Ben, so she rushed out and shouted.
He's here to arrest you!
Upon hearing this, Felicia turned pale with fright and grabbed Ben's arm, trying to pull him away.
Ben reached out to comfort Felicia, while giving Mary Jane behind Kraven a look, signaling them not to act rashly to avoid getting hurt.
Before she could even figure out what was going on, Gwen had already quickly dialed her father's number.
Unbeknownst to her, Chief George was already on his way.
"Arrest me?"
When Ben heard what Mary Jane said, he was dumbfounded.
He never dreamed that Kraven had come to arrest him.
Okay, okay, so after all this time, you're after me, aren't you?
Ben wasn't angry at all; instead, he was amused by the other person's antics.
In fact, even Ben himself was stunned when Kraven appeared in front of him.
You see, he made so many preparations to prevent these villains from targeting Uncle Ben and Aunt May, but who knew that these people would actually set their sights on him.
Why pick on the one with the biggest fist when there are so many easy targets?
They really have a death wish!
