Under the night sky, the figures of the two flew backward under each other's force.

One stepped on the glider, floating mid-air, while the other landed on all fours against a wall, gripping the surface firmly.

"Are you one of Tony's men?"

Norman's voice rang out, his tone overflowing with a trace of madness.

Peter did not answer; he used to love running his mouth incessantly, but he had no intention of talking nonsense during a fight now.

He had learned this very point from Tony: a person had to be ruthless and could not talk too much.

Only to see his wrist shoot out a web, charging rapidly toward Norman.

Seeing this, an alloy saber appeared in Norman's hand, extremely sharp.

This was the equipment he had newly crafted for himself.

Two flashes of blade light swept past, and the spider web fired by Peter was directly cut in half by him. At the same time, his figure rapidly closed in on Peter, the alloy combat blade directly tearing through the air and emitting a sonic boom.

But just as he closed in on Peter, the figure of a Shadow Ninja suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

Watching this scene, beneath the mask, Norman's expression changed instantly, showing an expression of utter disgust.

He hadn't expected Peter to be so shameless as to use Shadow Ninjas to act as human shields; it was simply disgusting to the extreme.

A flash of blade light passed, and the Shadow Ninja blocking in front of him was directly hacked to death by a single slash of his, while Peter seized the opportunity to throw a punch.

Boom!

A powerful and heavy punch heavily imprinted itself onto Norman's chest, and Norman smashed directly toward the ground.

"Cough, cough!"

A burst of violent coughing sounded in his mouth. Although he was no longer what he used to be after using the Human Enhancement Serum, Peter was no ordinary person either, and a single punch possessed a terrifying force of several thousand kilograms.

Even after being weakened by the Green Goblin Suit, the remaining strength still dealt him a heavy blow.

"Damn it!"

Norman cursed angrily, enduring the pain as he shot up into the sky once more, throwing two Pumpkin Bombs that instantly appeared near Peter.

Seeing this, Peter did not dodge or evade, directly having the Shadow Ninja build a human wall around him.

Boom!

A huge explosion rang out, and the outer layer of Shadow Ninjas was directly vaporized.

Yet Peter, standing right in the center, was completely fine, and not even the Spider Suit on his body suffered the slightest bit of damage.

Watching this scene, Norman was utterly speechless.

Especially when one Shadow Ninja after another emerged once more, he couldn't help wanting to curse his mother.

How the hell was he supposed to keep fighting this!

His own attacks were blocked by the Shadow Ninjas, while all of Peter's attacks landed entirely on him. This kind of fighting style was simply too shameless.

For a moment, a desire to retreat arose inevitably within Norman's heart.

After all, a battle where you couldn't break the opponent's defense held no meaning whatsoever, and anyway, he was always the one suffering losses.

And just as he began to think about backing out, Peter rushed up again.

Compared to Norman's depression, Peter was completely hyped up right now. He could hit others while others couldn't hit him-was there anything more exhilarating than this? Therefore, Peter's enthusiasm for the battle could be said to be soaring.

A series of fist-to-flesh sounds rang out continuously, with the Shadow Ninjas assisting from the side, either attacking or defending, leaving Norman extremely miserable from the beating.

Finally, the glider beneath his feet carried him soaring into the sky; he intended to run for it.

Seeing this scene, a sharp glint flashed in Peter's eyes. How could he possibly let this fellow leave? Right then, the web launcher in his hand fired, landing directly on the Goblin Glider, and immediately Peter exerted a fierce pull.

Norman's figure, which had been perfectly steady, instantly shook violently. The next second, his previously ascending form plummeted straight toward the ground, smashing heavily into the earth with a loud crash.

Bang!

A huge crater was smashed into the ground, and Norman almost passed out from the impact. Before he could even get up, Peter's figure rapidly appeared in front of him, smashing a fist right onto his mask.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding echoed, and Norman's head felt as if it had been struck by a large truck, instantly leaving him dizzy and spinning.

Once Peter gained the upper hand, his offensive never stopped for a moment, landing punches on Norman one after another.

Clang, clang, clang!

After a full minute, Peter finally stopped his attack, and the Green Goblin Mask was completely deformed by this point.

As for Norman, he had completely passed out cold.

Although his physical constitution was extraordinary, there was no way he could endure Peter's bombardment indefinitely.

Just like an ordinary person couldn't bear to have their head continuously crushed by a dozen large trucks.

Removing the Green Goblin Mask and confirming that Norman was truly out cold, Peter let out a long breath in his heart.

Although he had the Shadowkhan to assist, the danger of the combat was not low in the slightest. Therefore, he certainly dared not lower his guard.

Resting in place for a while, he had two Shadow Ninjas carry Norman, and Peter took him away from the area.

Half an hour later, he passed through the Manhattan urban area and arrived at Freedom City, outside Tony's villa.

Inside the room, Tony, who had already finished his workout, also heard JARVIS's reminder.

"Sir, Mr. Peter has arrived and is outside the door."

"Oh, let him in."

Acknowledging the call, Tony put on his bathrobe and walked downstairs.

Arriving at the living room, a rather disheveled Peter had already been waiting there for quite some time.

"I've brought you the person you wanted."

Peter said as he looked at Tony walking down, his gaze toward Tony filled with envy.

Thanks to his super-strong Spider-Sense, even without going upstairs, he knew roughly what the situation was in the room.

Aside from Tony, there were still two beauties in the room.

Thinking of his own night, and then thinking of Tony's night, how could someone who was still a young man not feel envious?

Still, it was only envy. He had completed his mission and would earn twenty million, and by then he would be able to live it up in style as well.

Thinking of this, a trace of yearning surfaced on Peter's face.

Naturally, Tony knew nothing of the thoughts in Peter's heart. Glancing at the Norman thrown onto the living room floor, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Good job, thanks for the effort."

Praising him with a sentence, he turned his gaze toward the first-floor guest room and said, "Bucky."

As the words fell, the door opened, and Bucky walked out.

"Boss, what's up?"

"I'll leave this guy to you to keep an eye on. He is no pushover, so be careful."

Tony pointed at Norman on the ground, and Bucky glanced over and nodded.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely keep a close eye on this guy."

Speaking as he moved, Bucky stepped forward and hoisted the Norman on the ground up.

At the same time, Tony introduced the two of them.

"This is Peter. Like you, he's also an Alliance member."

Hearing this, Bucky nodded at Peter, and Peter nodded back in response, though they didn't have much interaction.

Neither of them was a talkative person, so naturally they couldn't work up much enthusiasm.

Tony didn't mind this either; he merely wanted them to know of each other's existence to avoid accidentally bumping into each other and starting a fight later on.

As for whether they could get along harmoniously, that wasn't something he needed to worry about-he wasn't that idle.

Soon, Norman was taken away by Bucky, while Peter spoke up somewhat sheepishly at this moment, "Mr. Tony, when are you going to honor the reward you promised me?"

Hearing this, the corners of Tony's mouth curled up into a smile. "Right now."
