at the same time.
The top floor of a building not far from the battlefield.
Luca and Tony, clad in armor, hovered in mid-air.
They saw everything that was happening below clearly.
"Did you see that, Tony?"
Luca crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's what you call a good teacher producing a good student. I always said that kid had potential; with just a little guidance, he could become a competent soldier."
Tony rolled his eyes.
"Come on, if it weren't for the combat suit, he'd probably be roasted like a spider by now. Technology is the primary productive force."
"Alright, stop arguing."
Luca glanced at the Green Goblin, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
Let's see what else they do.
Just then...
Due to cerebral congestion and intense pain, Green Goblin's evil personality began to gradually fade.
Norman Osborn's original personality finally gained the upper hand.
He struggled to open his eyes and saw that he was tightly bound by Silk, and that he was surrounded by citizens and media reporters taking pictures with their mobile phones.
"Damn it..."
Norman cursed inwardly.
He knew that if the mask were removed now, the Osborn Group's reputation would be completely ruined!
The chairman of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, acting as a terrorist on the streets?
If this gets out, the company's stock will plummet to worthless tomorrow!
Norman struggled to lift his head and looked at Spider-Man not far away.
" Spider-Man... wait a minute..."
Norman shouted in a weak voice.
Peter heard the sound and walked up to the Green Goblin.
"What, you green-skinned monster, are you going to beg for mercy?"
"Where... where did you get that battle suit you're wearing?"
Norman stared intently at Peter's suit.
He knows his stuff.
As the chairman of the Osborn Group, he immediately recognized the advanced technology contained in this suit.
This is definitely not something a vigilante could create.
Peter was taken aback; he hadn't expected the other person to ask that question.
But he didn't try to hide it, after all, it was Stark Industries ' masterpiece, and it would be a great source of pride to talk about it.
"This was custom-made for me by Luca Stark and Mr. Stark. Tony Stark!!"
Luca Stark?!
Norman paused, taken aback upon hearing the name.
The news from Stark Industries ' press conference yesterday flashed through his mind.
That Stark Miracle that can cure all kinds of chronic diseases and make people five years younger!!
And look at this battle suit that's ahead of its time.
A crazy idea suddenly popped into Norman's mind.
" Luca Stark... an absolute genius in life sciences..."
"The entire Osborn Group invested so much money and effort, but they still couldn't solve the incurable hereditary disease in my family. Instead, it turned me into this grotesque, half-human, half-ghost-like state."
"Since his biotechnology is so advanced, he can even create such miraculous drugs..."
"Then can he... cure my illness?!"
The idea took root in Norman's mind as soon as it appeared.
He doesn't care about bowing to his competitors.
All they cared about was whether they could survive and whether they could escape the control of this evil personality.
"I have to go see him. I have to go see him secretly."
Norman made a decision in secret.
Even at a greater cost, he had to see Luca Stark!
Just as Norman was plotting his escape...
Sirens blared as several New York Police Department patrol cars sped to a stop at the scene.
"Police! Don't move!"
Several police officers rushed over with guns drawn.
Peter this, Peter immediately shot out a Silk, which gracefully swung into the night sky.
"Could you please deal with this green monster? I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now!"
The police officers cautiously approached the Green Goblin, who was hanging upside down.
"Take off his mask and see who this guy is," the sheriff in charge ordered.
Norman was greatly alarmed upon hearing this.
We absolutely cannot reveal our identities here!
If his identity is exposed, he'll become a wanted criminal. How will he ever see Luca Stark again?
"Boom!"
As the police approached, Norman quickly activated a miniature self-destruct device hidden in his armor.
Although his skateboard was broken, he still had a backup plan.
A blinding flash and a burst of smoke erupted again, jolting the surrounding police officers back several steps.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Norman struggled to break free from the loosened spider Silk.
Then, dragging his injured body, he quickly darted into a nearby alley and disappeared into the darkness.
High in the sky.
Luca and Tony watched Norman escape without intervening.
"Why not grab him?" Tony asked, puzzled.
"Are we just going to let him get away like this? What if he shows up again tomorrow and starts causing trouble?"
Luca shrugged.
"Don't worry, Tony. He can't get away."
"I've already scanned his body."
Luca paused, his tone becoming playful.
"Guess what? This Green Goblin's real identity is actually Norman Osborn."
"What?!" Tony exclaimed in surprise.
"The chairman of the Osborn Group?! That hypocrite who always likes to criticize our market monopoly in the media?!"
"Yes, it's him."
Luca sneered.
"His body is having serious problems; his genes are collapsing. The Green Goblin is a side effect of this genetic mutation."
"He asked about Peter's suit earlier because he's impressed with our technology."
Luca turned and flew towards the Stark Tower.
"Believe me, Tony. It won't be long before this high and mighty Chairman Osborn comes running to our office like a stray dog, begging for our help."
"By then..."
Luca's smile grew wider and wider.
"We can then swallow the Osborn Group whole without lifting a finger and with a perfectly legitimate reason."
After the battle.
Peter changed back into his shirt, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and nervously returned to the apartment building.
As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw a girl in a long dress sitting on the steps, her head buried in her knees, her shoulders trembling slightly.
It's Mary Jane.
She had just been attacked by the Green Goblin on the street and ran back in shock, now secretly crying because of the lingering fear.
Peter's heart started racing.
Suppressing his nervousness, he stepped forward and gently knelt down in front of Mary Jane.
Mary Jane heard footsteps, looked up, and saw Peter. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
She wanted to yell at him, but the fear in her heart made her just want to find someone to rely on.
Peter did not speak.
He stepped forward, reached out his hands, and pulled Mary Jane into a tight embrace.
Mary froze, then her cheeks flushed bright red.
Feeling that strong chest, she was reluctant to break free.
Don't be afraid.
Peter deliberately lowered his voice and spoke in Batman's tone in her ear.
Last night... all I wanted to do was hide you in the safest place. Because as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you.
boom!
Mary Jane paused for a moment, then hugged Peter tightly from behind and buried her head in his chest.
Peter's shirt was soaked with tears of emotion.
"Thank you... Peter."
Feeling the soft, warm body in his arms, Peter's lips curled into a wild smile.
" Mr. Luca is a genius! This trick is absolutely amazing!"
" The Stark Family's scumbags truly live up to their reputation!"
