This sentence directly pierced through Peter's long-held self-deception.

Yes, that's right, the reason Peter of this world put on the suit was none other than to avenge Uncle Ben!

His Uncle Ben was innocently murdered one night not long ago by a robber with a star mark on his wrist.

And the incompetent New York police still hadn't caught the robber.

So Peter decided to take matters into his own hands.

This led to many of his activities after becoming Spider-Man.

No, at this time, he couldn't really be called a "hero," because all his actions were purely for personal revenge.

It wasn't until just now, after a conversation with Officer Stacy, that he was jolted awake.

He remembered what Uncle Ben had told him: "With great power comes great responsibility."

Thus, he fell silent.

He pondered.

He left the Stacy residence and came here. After a minute of thought, he made a decision that went against his ancestors (crossed out).

He was going to follow Gwen's dad—a police captain in the NYPD who had his own task force.

Because he firmly believed Spider-Man was a dangerous amateur and wanted to arrest him.

Not only that, but after tonight, he might also look down on Peter Parker and prevent him from being with Gwen.

This wasn't what Peter wanted to see.

Coincidentally, during their meal, Captain Stacy had mentioned the importance of strategy to him. A car thief he had recently caught was actually someone the NYPD was using for a long-term sting operation, and Peter's recklessness had disrupted this operation. This was also one of the reasons Captain Stacy disliked Spider-Man.

Peter was very receptive to advice.

So now, he wanted to use a little "strategy" on Captain Stacy.

This way, perhaps he could change some of Captain Stacy's views on Spider-Man.

As for Peter Parker, that would have to wait and see.

And at this very moment, another Peter possessed him.

After receiving the information, Peter's first reaction was: "How come Uncle Ben in this world also died tragically? Could this world also have an Osborn?"

Then, he tried hard to search through the memory fragments he had received.

This world did have an Osborn, but this world's Osborn seemed to have a deep connection with Peter Parker?

Norman Osborn had a superior and colleague relationship with Peter Parker's parents, while Harry Osborn and Peter Parker were the best of childhood friends.

However, Harry was later sent to the private school run by the Osborn family, while Peter attended public school, and the two were separated.

They hadn't seen each other since.

Looking at it this way, the Osborn of this world should have no connection to Uncle Ben's death.

Peter felt a little relieved.

If the death of Uncle Ben in this world was also related to Osborn, he would have to consider asking Aunt May if she had a boyfriend named Ben XXX when he got back.

Oh, wait, he didn't have Osborn in his world either!

Never mind then.

Peter shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, now is not the time to think about these things, I need to concentrate and clear my name!"

Peter took the spider-suit out of his backpack and put it on.

Uh, he had to admit, although this Peter had been Spider-Man for about the same amount of time as him, the appearance and material of his suit were much better than his own baby pajamas.

Especially that huge spider emblem, wow, why hadn't he thought of designing it like that before?

"Ready, let's go!" Peter stood up, stretched his body, felt the tightness of the suit, and leaped down.

His target was a police car below.

It was Captain George Stacy's car.

He seemed to have received a call earlier and then left home in a hurry without eating.

Peter guessed that he must have received an emergency call.

Perfect, he could use this opportunity to salvage some of his image in Captain Stacy's eyes.

Yes, this was his "strategy."

Alright, maybe this wasn't a strategy at all, just a bit of public relations.

To prove that he wasn't fighting evil out of personal revenge.

"Woohoo! This is the feeling! I can't believe I swung around my world an hour ago, and now I can swing around here again!" Peter exclaimed as he moved through the streets.

"Ouch!" Peter quickly turned a corner and happened to see a couple kissing in a dark alley, their hands restlessly writing a score of restless hormones.

But Peter's appearance interrupted the intimacy that filled the air, and a pair of bewildered eyes looked up.

Peter gave a sheepish laugh and quickly apologized: "Sorry, don't mind me, I'm a professional Spider-Man. My eyes are only on my target, I definitely didn't see you kissing, nor did I see your hands... uh, don't, don't pull out a gun!"

Peter landed on the wall with both feet and fled the scene in a flash.

That guy was dishonorable, making a move like he was going to draw a gun and shoot him – how terrifying!

However, influenced by the original Peter, the current Peter was also a bit nervous.

Because he didn't know what kind of trouble he would encounter if he followed Captain Stacy now, and he didn't know if Captain Stacy would hate him so much that he'd issue a bounty to arrest him if he messed this up again.

He even imagined his own portrait being posted on a wanted poster in his mind.

Oh, that was too terrifying!

Peter shivered, almost falling.

"Sigh, fate really plays tricks on people. How could I fall for the daughter of someone who considers my other self their public enemy number one? This guy is truly 'lucky'." Peter complained about the original Peter, with a hint of sourness in his tone.

Despite his complaints, he had to admit that the original Peter's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, was indeed very attractive.

Blond hair, long legs, gentle, intelligent, and a top student.

Of course, he also liked a girl at school named Liz, but unfortunately, she barely even looked at him.

Bzzzz~

As Peter was lost in thought and on his way.

His Spider-Sense suddenly went off wildly without any warning!

No, it couldn't be said to be without warning.

Because the appearance of the Spider-Sense was the biggest warning of all!

At the same time, Peter felt his grip loosen.

His expression changed.

Damn it, the web fluid didn't shoot out!

The web-shooter had suddenly malfunctioned.

Peter was speechless, complaining about the unreliability of Spider-Man in this world.

Although his web-shooter was crude and couldn't compare to the one Iron Man gifted with the suit later on, it shouldn't have just broken down while in use.

And the consequence of it suddenly breaking down was like this
