Norman's Death Date, Toby's Ambition!

As for forgiving one's enemies, forget it. That was God's job.

Toby only wanted to send his enemies to meet God...

So ever since Peter was little, Toby had instilled one idea in him: you could choose kindness, and you could choose to face a problem without making any choice at all, but you must never interfere with someone else who had made their choice.

And evidently, Toby's psychological influence on Peter since childhood had been very successful.

Although Peter had now guessed what Toby intended to do, he did not speak up to stop him. As always, he silently nodded, choosing to tacitly accept Toby's decision.

Just like when Peter had been bullied by the school bully as a child and Toby went to avenge him—Peter had never agreed, but he had never refused either.

And Gwen went without saying.

With her clever mind, she had already pieced together the basic course of the entire matter from what Toby had said on the way from the basement to the game room.

And compared to Peter, who had merely guessed that Toby was going to kill someone, Gwen, who had personally witnessed Toby kill before, was even more certain that Norman Osborn was doomed.

Yet she likewise had no intention of stopping Toby.

Gwen differed from Peter in his pure goodness. Because her father was a police officer, although she had received positive education since childhood, she had seen far more of society's dark side than Peter had.

She knew that sometimes, forgiving an enemy would not make them become good.

On the contrary, the more kindly you chose to forgive and help them, the more some evil people would push their luck and become utterly unscrupulous, inflicting a second wound upon you!

For example, hadn't her kidnapping two years ago happened because her father, Captain Stacy, had softened for a moment? Rather than emptying the officers' magazines into the criminal like the others had wanted to, he had merely arrested the man, hoping to give him another chance to turn over a new leaf.

One small experience that Gwen from other universes had never gone through had given this Gwen an entirely different view of criminals.

Minor crimes could mean prison.

But murderers deserved death!

That was why she had helplessly fallen in love with Toby, this decisive antihero who dared to do what even her police captain father did not dare to do!

That was right, this was a half-blackened Gwen...

But Gwen hid it very well, never letting anyone discover the "psychological trauma" left behind after that kidnapping...

Seeing that neither Peter nor Gwen objected to what he had said, Toby was very satisfied and did not plan to linger.

Instead, he walked to the window and opened it, saying to Peter:

"Since there's no problem, you don't need to worry about what comes next. Also, help me tell Ben and May that I won't be home for dinner tonight."

"Tonight?" Although Peter did not intend to stop Toby, he still scratched his head in confusion. "But it's only afternoon. Are you going to act now?"

Toby glanced at Peter and gave him a mysterious smile.

"Of course not. Spiders are nocturnal hunters. Broad daylight isn't suitable for action. During the day, most spiders prefer another activity..."

"Huh? What activity?"

Peter was still scratching his head foolishly, but Gwen, who had thoroughly studied spider habits after learning that Toby's abilities were related to spiders, was already bright red.

Because most spiders had the exact opposite routine from humans—they went out hunting at night, so during the day, naturally, they...

Whoosh—

A strand of web shot over and pulled the blushing Gwen to the window, into Toby's arms.

Holding Gwen in one arm, Toby sat on the windowsill and smiled at Peter. "Your extra training tonight is canceled, since Gwen will be assisting Dr. Connors for you."

"Now Gwen will accept your new punishment in your place."

Before Peter could react, Toby was already swinging out through the window on webbing with Gwen in his arms.

Leaving behind only Peter, whose face was full of envy after he understood.

Soon, Peter could not help walking over to the window as well. Looking toward the neighboring house, he happened to see Mary Jane watering flowers in the garden next door.

Mary Jane seemed to sense Peter's burning gaze too. She looked up in his direction and smiled, waving at him.

That single gesture completely hooked Peter. He grinned foolishly as he waved back at Mary Jane.

He wondered whether he should follow his cousin's example and pursue a girl of his own.

If Toby knew, he would definitely say: No, Peter, we're not the same. I'm the one being pursued~

It was the same hotel as last time, the same overwhelmingly one-sided battle, and the same post-event cigarette.

After Gwen fell asleep from exhaustion, Toby stood on the balcony smoking as he spoke with Kingpin over the phone.

This call with Kingpin was, on one hand, because Kingpin had transferred the fifty million dollars entrusted by Pepper.

On the other hand, Toby had asked Kingpin to investigate the structural plans of Osborn Manor, as well as the security arrangements within the estate.

Though Toby was strong enough now to brute-force his way into most places, he still needed to maintain proper caution!

Toby Parker never fought a battle he wasn't sure of winning!

Since he had decided to send Norman Osborn to meet God, he had to be absolutely certain!

Kingpin truly lived up to his reputation as New York's most well-connected man. He did not disappoint Toby, quickly sending over the layout of Osborn Manor and information on its security team.

He had even thoughtfully marked Norman Osborn's room on the manor's floor plan, along with the location of the hidden safe room inside it.

Toby could only say: now that was what professionalism looked like.

The reason Toby had gone to such lengths to prepare to kill Norman Osborn himself was naturally not just to avenge Peter.

The main reason was that the improved version of the Lizard Regeneration Serum had now met his expectations.

And if he wanted to release it, Norman Osborn had to die.

After all, Dr. Connors's research patents were all registered under Norman's name!

Otherwise, after he released the regeneration serum, Norman could turn around and sue him for copyright infringement, stripping him of ownership of the serum. How could he allow that?

So, to avoid future trouble, Toby planned to eliminate Norman Osborn first.

And getting rid of Norman Osborn alone would not be enough. Toby also had to take care of Osborn Enterprises as a whole.

Otherwise, even if Norman Osborn died, his son Harry Osborn could still inherit the rights to the patents under his name.

However, Toby did not intend to kill Harry as well, because even if Harry died, those patents would most likely end up in the hands of Osborn Enterprises' other executives.

He could not exactly slaughter Osborn Enterprises until it ran red with blood over a few patents, could he?

So he intended to take another approach. Once he dealt with that old fox Norman, he would get Harry, that naive little sweetheart, under his control.

He would not only obtain Dr. Connors's patent rights—he would use Harry to acquire all of Osborn Enterprises as well!
