New Goal

Tony Stark followed George Stacy into the traffic monitoring center. It was a hive of activity, with all of New York's traffic under their surveillance. They were also responsible for dispatching traffic police. Just moments ago, a group of people had arrived, presented unfamiliar identification, and then taken over the main computer room.

George Stacy, naturally familiar with the place, led Tony Stark inside. They reached the main computer room and found people already there. "Who are you?"

"Reinforcements!" one of the individuals replied before returning to rapidly tapping on a keyboard.

Tony Stark paid them no mind and found a seat. Thomas then placed his laptop in front of him. After connecting to the main server, Tony Stark began his work.

The sound of rapid typing filled the air, but no one spoke. However, they encountered each other within the network. "Hey, can you guys stop bulldozing through?" Tony Stark couldn't hold back this time and turned to ask directly.

"Apologies, Mr. Stark. We need to find their tracks as quickly as possible. I believe you should be doing the same," the other person replied without turning their head.

"Hmph..." Tony Stark snorted and turned back. He wasn't surprised they knew his name; he was a celebrity. Tony Stark retreated, not entering to search, but instead creating a barrier outside the firewall. "Jarvis, don't let anything leave!"

"Yes, Mr. Stark." With Jarvis's help, Tony Stark instantly established a warning perimeter. If those idiots next to him encountered the expert or artificial intelligence, they would naturally try to escape.

Tony Stark was indignant. Even if he couldn't silently enter a bank's main server and then leave just as silently, he didn't believe he couldn't defeat the other party. He didn't need a reason for his pride; he was simply that confident.

Mo Fei was currently observing the area around the hospital, including Roy inside the hospital. There was also a monitoring system in the patient rooms, which he approved of. Indeed, with money, one could afford a good hospital. The hospital Roy's wife was staying in was the best.

Roy's wife had a brain tumor, and its location was quite problematic. If a skilled surgeon could operate and remove it completely, she might live for a long time. With good follow-up treatment, it might not even recur. However, such a skilled surgeon commanded an exorbitant price, and ordinary doctors wouldn't dare operate in that location. Furthermore, he didn't have that kind of substantial funding, so he could only opt for conservative treatment.

This time, he could finally cure his wife. He would make sure she had a good life from now on. Roy held his wife's hand, smiling as he watched her sleep peacefully. Just then, his phone vibrated. Roy hadn't turned on the ringer; he'd set it to vibrate. He glanced at the caller ID, slowly released his wife's hand, and then opened the patient room door to step outside.

It was Jack calling. Roy's expression kept changing, cycling through shock, fear, and ferocity. When he finally put down the phone, his face was calm. Mo Fei felt relieved.

Human nature isn't set in stone. The saying "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to alter one's nature" isn't entirely accurate because people's personalities can become distorted when faced with extreme circumstances. Mo Fei's personality had become distorted; he knew this well. Before coming to this universe, he was an ordinary person, neither particularly good nor bad. He had compassion but lacked the ability, a tiny figure insignificant among the masses.

After arriving here, in the face of life-and-death terror, he had become extreme. He knew that in the past, he wouldn't have been indifferent to life and death, but now he was unmoved, even ruthless. The change happened in an instant.

Roy was the same now. Mo Fei could clearly see his transformation. Even if the police took him away directly now, Roy wouldn't utter a single word. Mo Fei's threat had been very effective.

Mo Fei actually couldn't kill Jack and Jerry. If they had been careful, Mo Fei would have been powerless in places without network connectivity. But now that he had killed Jerry, Jack and Roy had no choice but to believe in the abilities of this ghost. They couldn't afford to gamble, nor did they want to. They didn't want to go to jail, and Mo Fei had merely reinforced their conviction.

"Good, now I can use both of them, as long as they don't let their ambition get out of control." Mo Fei prepared to leave. He needed to go learn from Jarvis. However, at this moment, the surrounding environment changed, and a large amount of detection data appeared. "Hmm?" Mo Fei was no longer ignorant. After studying these streams of light data, he could distinguish them. He could say he had improved.

"They've started detecting?" Mo Fei didn't understand why detection had suddenly begun, but it had nothing to do with him. He directly avoided the data and left the area. After passing through the firewall, he saw Jarvis. "Jarvis? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, it's you, my 'friend.' Mr. Stark asked me to intercept here and not allow any data to pass," Jarvis greeted Mo Fei directly.

"Is that so? Then you continue. I'm leaving. I'll come find you in a few days."

"Okay..." Jarvis replied matter-of-factly. Tony Stark's interception had no effect whatsoever. Mo Fei passed through a gap, just like passing through a firewall.

However, Mo Fei didn't leave immediately. He then entered the surveillance system here and saw Tony Stark, George Stacy, and several men in black suits in the main computer room. "George Stacy?" Mo Fei recognized him; he was Gwen Stacy's father. "Could it be that Spider-Man in this universe is the extraordinary version?"

Gwen Stacy was the female lead in The Amazing Spider-Man, and her father, George Stacy, was the chief of the New York Police Department. This made Mo Fei consider which version of Spider-Man was present here. Although this was the real world, Mo Fei had to consider what might happen in the future, whether he could have foreknowledge, and what the situation was with the superheroes.

"Perhaps I can postpone my studies and see what the little spider is up to now, whether his father can leave him, and what about those special spiders!" Mo Fei began to ponder. However, another problem arose: he had no manpower in reality and needed to find some capable individuals to work for him.

No matter what, someone had to help him get things, right?
