Inside the sanatorium.

Seeing Bucky awake but unable to move, Steve felt as if his heart was breaking.

He had already spoken to Bucky, but at that moment Bucky was like a robot that hadn't been started yet; he hadn't received any instructions and naturally wouldn't react in any way.

He sat by Bucky's bedside, talking incessantly about the past, about how Bucky protected him and helped him teach those who bullied him a lesson when he wasn't yet Captain America.

Although he always argued back and refused to listen, Steve had long known that if it weren't for Bucky, he, with his frail body and numerous illnesses, would probably be dead by now.

He also mentioned that when his parents passed away, Bucky stayed by his side, comforting him and helping him through his grief.

You said you would always stay by my side...

Bucky stared wide-eyed at the white ceiling above him, unresponsive like a puppet.

Steve added that ever since he rescued Bucky from that dangerous situation, they had been working together. In the final mission, Bucky fell from the train, and Steve perished in the icy sea along with the plane...

Then, both of them fell into a long silence.

After a while, Bucky suddenly turned his head and looked at Steve.

He said, "I don't know you."

Upon hearing this, Steve was first stunned, then felt a wave of relief mixed with pain.

"It's okay, you'll remember."

Losing his memory didn't matter; what he feared most Bucky he could no longer communicate with and had become a mere tool.

"Captain, we need to move out."

At that moment, there was a knock on the ward door.

The person who came out was Peter.

He was wearing a classic Red and Blue Uniform, and his eyes, hidden behind a mask, were filled with worry.

"Hydra is now hunting us down everywhere. They've taken control of Stark Industries and also planted spies at Osborn Corporation. If they can't find us, I'm worried they might do something crazy."

Peter said.

Upon hearing this, Steve stood up, a resolute expression on his face.

Hydra is the real enemy; only by eliminating Hydra can Bucky return to normal.

This is not the time for him to be downcast, either publicly or privately.

He glanced back at Bucky, then turned resolutely and walked toward Peter.

Let's go!

--

Osborn Corporation.

Pierce led a large number of agents to surround the area.

Outside the building, the imposing armed force drew the attention of passersby.

At the top of the building, in Osborn's office, Pierce stood with his hands in his pockets, glaring at Osborn, while several agents surrounded Norman beside him.

At that moment, Norman sat in his boss's chair, legs crossed, looking quite dignified.

"Norman Osborn, hand over Nick Fury and my soldiers."

"Mr. Pierce, I don't understand what you're talking about." Norman clasped his hands together and rested them on his chin.

"Your son publicly rescued Nick Fury, a fugitive wanted by S.H.I.E.L.D.., and you say you know nothing about it?"

Pierce was so angry he almost laughed.

He showed a clip of an image, clearly depicting Harry riding the Green Goblin Glider, with Nick Fury and the Winter Soldier on board.

"So what?"

Norman shrugged.

"I know nothing about this. Harry didn't bring Nick Fury back."

"And I don't see anything wrong with my son, as a Super Hero, saving S.H.I.E.L.D. from a group of heavily armed terrorists committing crimes on the street."

Upon hearing this, Pierce gave a cold laugh and said:

"In case you're unaware, Nick Fury is no longer the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. He's been discovered to be Hydra spy, continuously selling our intelligence abroad for years."

He spoke with great conviction.

"Not only him, but also the group of Super Hero he just assembled have betrayed this country. The Security Council has ordered a nationwide manhunt for them, both domestically and internationally; once discovered, they will be executed immediately!"

"You're a smart man, Norman," Pierce said, walking up to Norman in the tone of an old friend.

"Your son, Harry Osborn, is incredibly wealthy and can act as Super Hero, which is great, very good. But he's mistaken someone else for someone else. I believe Nick Fury has misled him, but that's alright. We won't do anything to a child."

"Instead, we can make him the new Iron Man."

These words were not just advice, but a threat.

Pierce's implication was that he could make Harry the second Iron Man, but he could also make him as wanted as Stark.

"Sorry, I really don't know what you're talking about." Norman remained unmoved.

"You said Harry took Nick Fury, but I haven't seen him," he shrugged. "You can search every part of the Osborn Corporation, but as you can see, there's nothing here."

At this point, Pierce had pretty much figured out what Norman meant.

He glanced coldly at Norman, picked up a small ornament from the table and fiddled with it, while saying...

"The Osborn Corporation has always been a pillar industry of the country, and you are an outstanding entrepreneur. Don't do anything foolish. Why associate with those criminals?"

"Recognize the situation, Norman."

He looked into Norman's eyes.

"You're a smart man. What can Nick Fury offer you? You two haven't even had much contact before, but I'm different."

"Tony Stark is involved in this too. Once I catch him, I can wipe Stark Industries out completely. Osborn can replace Stark, as long as you hand over Nick Fury and publicly declare that you're on our side. Anything is possible."

After saying that, Pierce put down what he was holding, walked to the door, then stopped and turned around:

"I'm only giving you one day to consider. Tomorrow I need to see Nick Fury, and I also need to see you announce to the media that the Green Goblin has joined us, or else..."

Pierce left before he finished speaking.

Several agents left with him.

However, Norman knew very well that there were definitely many agents secretly monitoring his every move.

He wasn't worried.

Because everything is going according to plan.

Daily Bugle.

Jameson, who had just left Luxury VIP Ward, encountered an opportunity to make a lot of money.

He excitedly bit into a cigar, wearing overalls, hands on his hips, and shouted:

"Hurry up, all of you!"

"Spider-Man, I've finally found something on you!"

He laughed triumphantly.

The wanted posters released by S.H.I.E.L.D.. included two Spider-Man- Men, which made Jameson as happy as if it were New Year's Day.

He worked overtime to get everyone in the company to print the newspaper as quickly as possible.

Robbie walked in and said reluctantly:

"Boss, there's something wrong with these wanted posters. How could Spider-Man be a criminal? Not to mention, Tony Stark is also on the wanted list, and..."

As a journalist, Robbie clearly sensed the presence of a conspiracy.

"This person..."

He turned to Steve's page on the wanted poster.

It's hard to believe that Captain America Steve Rogers from 70 years ago is still alive, and even more surprisingly, he's working for Hydra.

Who would believe that?

It's important to know that Captain America is a shared idol in the hearts of all United States.

For nearly a century, the United States has been promoting him day and night, building memorials for him, publicizing his heroic deeds, and inspiring every United States child to take him as a role model, to strive and to dedicate themselves!

But in the end, they said that everything in the past was just a false illusion, and that Steve Rogers was actually a Hydra.

Isn't this utterly absurd and ridiculous?

What do you know?

Jameson, cigar in hand, glared at Robbie with displeasure and said:

"This is an official government document. Do you think they're lying?"

"I've said it before, Spider-Man is no good at all. If he were really doing good, why doesn't he just take off his mask and let us all know who he is?"

"It's precisely because his true appearance beneath the mask cannot be revealed that he has to conceal his identity. As for that soldier, ha, do you really think all United States soldiers are good people?"

"Get back to printing newspapers!"

The title should be: <Spider-Man, a public nuisance in New York! Captain America, a cheap, attention-seeking Joker!>

He kicked Robbie out, then, as if remembering something, banged on the table.

"Where's Parker? I need new Spider-Man photos!"

"Boss," Betty knocked and came in, glanced at Jameson, and said in a low voice, "Someone is looking for Spider-Man's cameraman..."

Her gaze cautiously drifted towards the office window, where Jameson saw a group of men in suits who looked like they were not to be trifled with.

He paused for a second, spat out his cigar, and said:

"What Spider-Man photographer? Didn't I already say that person only mails out photos?"

Queens.

Uncle Ben and Aunt May were unusually excused from community service today.

During this period, they devoted themselves to public welfare activities. While feeling fulfilled, they were also somewhat tired, so they decided to take a few days off together.

"It's so quiet without the kids at home." Uncle Ben sat on the old sofa and turned on the TV.

On television, almost every news report was interrupting with broadcasts of arrest warrants for Ben.

The only good news is that Ben deleted all of S.H.I.E.L.D..'s information about Spider-Man, so Pierce still doesn't know the true identities of the Spider-Man.

Otherwise, Uncle Ben and Aunt May would probably be worried sick by now.

Nevertheless, both husband and wife frowned upon seeing the news.

"Hydra spies, oh my god!"

Aunt May covered her face in surprise. "I can't believe Peter would be friends with such a dangerous person!"

"Don't believe everything you hear, Mei."

Ben shook his head and said:

"Something's not right. Have you forgotten? Spider-Man saved Peter and Benny several times. Although he's not well-regarded in society, everyone he's helped knows he's not a bad guy."

The mainstream media has consistently disliked Spider-Man, and this is not solely due to Jameson's influence, but also to the support of the New York Police.

But Spider-Man has always been active on the streets of New York, and countless people have been helped by him. No matter what the media says, everyone has their own scales of judgment.

What surprised Ben even more than Spider-Man was that Captain America, Steve Rogers, was still alive and had betrayed United States.

"That's utter nonsense!"

Upon seeing this news, he stood up abruptly, practically wanting to rush to the TV station and punch the people broadcasting the news!

You have to understand that for an old man like him, Captain America's spirit is like a brand imprinted on his faith!

In their time, the legend had not been gone from the world for very long.

Furthermore, everyone here lived during the nation's most glorious era, and their faith in Captain America was stronger than anyone else's.

I wonder how many people are willing to serve their country because of Captain America's influence.

Now you're saying Captain America betrayed United States? How can anyone accept that?

Although it was an official arrest warrant, anyone who saw it couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Aunt May opened the door and found Mary Jane standing outside.

"Hello, Aunt May, I'd like to ask if Benny and Peter are home?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt May paused for a moment.

Normally, Mary Jane would only ask Ben when she came over, but today she brought Peter along, which made Mary Jane feel a little strange.

However, she didn't think much of it and immediately replied, "They're all not here. Benny is at the company, Peter seems to be doing an experiment?"

"Then I'll go to Primus to find them," Mary Jane nodded.

Upon arriving at the door, Mary Jane's expression turned to worry.

A few minutes earlier, she had seen news on her phone that Spider-Man and the Hacker were wanted, which surprised and worried her.

Because she knew Peter was Spider-Man.

Mary Jane discovered this secret during the time Ben was away from Earth.

At that time, she kept watch by the window every day, wondering when Ben would come home. Then one night, she saw Peter, dressed in a spider costume, crawl into his room.

Peter is Spider-Man.

Originally, she wanted to share this secret with Ben, but Ben appeared as the second Spider-Man on his very first day back on Earth.

At the time, Mary Jane speculated that Ben might be the second Spider-Man.

But that night, she didn't ask Ben; instead, she kept the secret to herself.

Now that Spider-Man and the Hacker are both wanted, she can't help but worry about Ben's safety.

Leave Queens.

Mary Jane rushed to Primus immediately, but when she Primus, the Primus Building was already locked down.

After leaving Norman Osborn, Pierce went straight to Primus.

Since the Osborn Corporation doesn't have Harry.

Then that kid might stay in Primus.
