Harry Osborn and Peter Parker Had Come Too

Watching Gwen run toward him, Loren could not help but smile.

According to the memories he had merged with, although the original owner had been born into a wealthy family, he had benefited from his father's easygoing and free-spirited nature.

So, instead of being sent to some aristocratic school, he had attended a public school that ordinary people could afford.

It was precisely because of that that he had gotten to know Gwen and become good friends with her.

"Hey, beautiful Gwen, what are you doing here?" Loren asked, happy but also somewhat surprised.

After all, Tony Stark's gala tonight was not open to the public.

It was an invitation-only event, and only those who had received invitations could enter the venue.

As far as he knew, Tony Stark had only sent invitations this time to major technology companies and high-ranking government officials.

He had also distributed invitations to some employees and shareholders within his own group.

So logically, he should not have run into Gwen here.

Yet the person standing before him was indeed the Gwen Stacy he knew.

Naturally, that left him quite surprised.

Hearing his question, Gwen immediately smiled brightly. "You guess!"

"Uh, I can't guess. Just tell me."

"Can't you play along a little? We are desk mates, after all."

"Fine, fine, I'll play along. I guess you came all this way to run into me on purpose, then it was love at first sight, and we lived happily ever after?"

Loren said with a teasing smile.

According to the memories he had merged with, the original owner had gotten along very well with Gwen.

Though they were not a couple and the original owner had never thought of her that way, they always chatted and laughed whenever they met in private.

That was why he dared to joke with her like this.

At once, Gwen blushed furiously and spat, "Tch, we haven't seen each other for a while, and your skin has gotten thicker."

Gwen's jab did not embarrass Loren. He smiled and said, "Isn't that right? I always thought my charm was irresistible."

"Ugh, when did you become so narcissistic? You're getting greasy. Fine, I'll just tell you!

This summer, Peter and I were both introduced by Harry to become interns at Osborn Group.

Then Harry's father received several invitations from Stark Group.

And because Mr. Norman Osborn had been busy with work lately and had no time at all to attend this gala,

he had Harry bring Peter and me along to broaden our horizons. We were riding Harry's coattails."

"I see. So Harry and Peter both came too?"

Upon hearing the names Peter and Harry, Loren immediately pictured two other classmates in his mind.

Yes, in this universe, Gwen was not his only high school classmate. Peter Parker and Harry Osborn were classmates as well.

And as a transmigrator, Loren knew that Harry Osborn and Peter Parker were no ordinary people.

Harry was the Second Green Goblin, while Peter Parker went without saying—he was Spider-Man, the Marvel Universe's most famous teenage hero.

Of course, those were only the character settings of the Marvel Universe he knew, while this universe was not the main Marvel universe.

So he still had no idea what identities Harry and Peter had in this universe.

"Mm-hmm, they went to park the car. I was waiting for them here, and I didn't expect to see you. What a coincidence, right?"

"A coincidence indeed!" Loren nodded with a smile.

At that moment, Gwen's gaze shifted to Tifa beside Loren.

A look of astonishment immediately appeared in her eyes.

But beneath that astonishment, a trace of disappointment was hidden deep in her gaze.

Clearly, Gwen's feelings toward Loren were not as simple as those between ordinary classmates.

Yet Loren noticed none of it and continued looking at Gwen with a smile.

The Gwen before him had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a curvaceous figure, possessing a distinctly Western beauty.

Though her looks could not compare to 2B's or Tifa's, she was unquestionably a great beauty.

And that was indeed the case. In the memories he had merged with, Gwen had been the universally recognized school beauty at their high school.

Naturally, there had been countless boys pursuing her.

But because the original owner had been born into privilege, even the maids in his manor had all been stunning beauties.

As such, he had long become immune to so-called beauties.

"Who is this beautiful lady?"

At that moment, Gwen took the initiative to ask about Tifa's identity.

Before Loren could introduce her, Tifa stepped forward and introduced herself.

"Hello, Miss Gwen. I am Young Master Loren's butler and secretary, as well as his companion for tonight. It is a pleasure to meet you."

With a faint smile, Tifa extended her hand toward Gwen, her social etiquette impeccable.

Seeing this, Loren nodded in satisfaction. Thankfully, he had brought Tifa to the gala tonight.

If he had brought 2B instead, seeing a beautiful woman like Gwen take the initiative to chat with him would probably have made her jealousy flare up immediately.

In that case, her attitude toward Gwen would not have been nearly so gentle.

"Butler? Secretary? What exactly do you do?" Gwen asked curiously.

"I handle anything related to the young master, such as being his companion tonight," Tifa explained.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Young Master Loren, you're really living the life of a god!"

At that moment, a slightly teasing voice came from not far behind Gwen.

Immediately afterward, a young man in a black suit approached with a smile. While still several meters away from Loren, he spread his arms, signaling for a hug.

Seeing the young man approaching with his arms open, Loren smiled and obligingly opened his arms to hug him.

This handsome young man was none other than the heir of Osborn Group—Harry Osborn.

"Wow, it's only been a little over two months since we last met, right? How did you suddenly get so tall?

I remember you were only around 1.7 meters before, just a little taller than Peter. How are you suddenly as tall as me now?

Hey, Peter, get over here. I remember Loren used to be the same height as you, right?"

After hugging Loren, Harry immediately noticed something unusual about him, and a stunned expression appeared on his face.

Then, without another word, he pulled over a bespectacled guy who had been following behind him and forcibly shoved him beside Loren to compare their heights.

The bespectacled man Harry had dragged over was none other than Peter Parker.

Being forcibly pulled beside Loren by Harry, Peter's honest-looking face showed a trace of embarrassment.

But a flicker of displeasure flashed deep within his eyes. No one would have noticed it without looking closely.

"Loren, long time no see!"
