Chapter 17
Of course, whether it is the Green Goblin or the newly appointed honorary police officer Spider-Woman, all these attentions have been diverted after Tony Stark's high-profile return.
I have to say that when it comes to making headlines, Tony is quite good at it.
"I think we can get some Stark Industries stock?" Peter suddenly said.
Gwen was stunned, "Didn't you hear what was said on TV just now? Stark's future is uncertain, and everyone is not optimistic about it."
"It's precisely because of this that we have the opportunity to get it, isn't it?"
"Pfft, Peter, since when did you start paying attention to this?"
"I just have faith in Stark."
"Are you serious?"
"certainly."
Buying Stark stock was also Peter's temporary idea.
Of course, it's not that he is short of money. In fact, even if the Stark Industries stock plummets, with the current funds of Peter's family, it is impossible to buy in large quantities.
If he wanted money, he could have as much as he wanted as Black Superman.
In the final analysis, wealth is nothing but the comprehensive expression of the strength, power and influence of a person or a collective.
And he is one of the most powerful people on earth.
To him, money is just a number. Money can buy many things, but there are also more things that money alone cannot buy.
I am already a superman, but I still want to make money and be a slave of capital. Isn’t it shameful?
More than anything, Peter just wanted to improve the lives of Uncle Ben and Aunt May in a more ordinary way.
It doesn’t take much, just make them live more comfortable and have less worries.
The two old men had lived for most of their lives and had already established a lifestyle of their own, and Peter did not want to change them rashly.
That's why he wears a mask.
What is an ancestor? Black Superman?
Peter felt that no one could force him to do something he didn't want to do except himself.
"Hmm..." Seeing that Peter didn't seem to be joking, Gwen thought for a while, moved closer, and said, "I can sponsor you privately."
Peter glanced at her and said, "It seems that Miss Gwen's little treasury is quite rich."
"hey-hey……"
"Rich woman, are you hungry?" Peter said close to her.
"Let's go." Gwen cursed with a smile, but didn't refuse.
…
night.
Gwen, wearing a hooded suit, opened the window, and honorary police officer Spider-Woman returned to New York.
In fact, in New York today, under the deterrence of the Black Superman, crime has been reduced a lot, and super villains like the Lizard Man and the Green Goblin are unlikely to exist every day.
What she does now is more to check for deficiencies and fill them in. Sometimes she even helps children on the roadside pick up balloons that fell from trees and helps an old lady cross the road.
Gwen was not dissatisfied with this.
This is not a game. Fighting super criminals all day long is tiring and dangerous, right?
She would rather never have crazy people like the Green Goblin and the Lizard Man again.
Gwen is smart enough not to get lost in the overwhelming power of her powers.
She still remembers that at first, she just wanted to help more people and not let Peter down.
This is already better than countless people, including some heroes who have been famous for many years.
Suddenly, a message came from the spider sense, and Gwen's spider silk swayed and changed direction.
in the alley,
A blond man was forced into a corner, looking at the black figure in front of him in fear, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Let me go! I didn't do anything! I just went out to buy something tonight."
Gwen also arrived at this time and landed in front of the man.
"Hey! I didn't expect that someone would dare to commit such a blatant crime in New York now. Aren't you afraid of Black Superman... Black Superman!?"
I only saw the iconic golden ring on the black shadow's chest and a bat-like hood. Who else could it be if it wasn't Black Superman?
Gwen didn't expect that the man who had forced the man to tremble in a corner and was about to commit atrocities was actually Black Superman himself!
How does this work?
"Black Superman...is what he said true?" Gwen looked at the man, then at Black Superman, and asked:
"Is there some misunderstanding?"
The scene where Black Superman dismantled all the bombs like a miracle and saved New York was still vivid in her mind. She didn't want to believe that Black Superman would commit crimes at will.
But Black Superman has had a bad reputation in the past...so, it doesn't seem impossible?
Gwen hopes this is just a misunderstanding, otherwise, this will be the biggest disaster in history.
Unexpectedly, Black Superman really replied: "There is no misunderstanding, everything he said is true."
Gwen was stunned, like a bolt from the blue.
Black Superman, Peter said: "So, Miss Honorary Police Officer, what do you want to do?"
Gwen took a deep breath and said, "I know I'm not your opponent, but I can't let an innocent person get hurt, so no matter what..."
"He is a murderer. A few years ago, he broke into a house and killed a family of four. He then absconded in fear of crime. To this day, his information is in the police file." Peter interrupted.
Gwen, who was still trying to prepare herself mentally just a second ago, could not be afraid of a strong enemy, even if the opponent was Black Superman: "Eh!?"
Five minutes later, the New York Police Department successfully arrived in the alley and took away the blond man with an ashen face.
"Thank you! Spider Woman, I didn't expect you to be able to catch a murderer who has been lurking for several years. As expected of you!" the policeman said very gratefully.
"Ah...well, it's nothing." Gwen said with a slight blush.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask at this time, otherwise she would have been too embarrassed to see anyone.
After the police left, she climbed to the top of the building, where Black Superman was standing on top, looking from a distance.
"Why don't you stand up yourself? This is your credit." Gwen asked.
"I don't want to waste time dealing with them. It's better to leave this kind of thing to you, Miss Honorary Police Officer."
Gwen felt that her whole face was getting hot, and she wanted to find a place to bury it in.
"Stop talking, I didn't recognize him at all, and I almost made a big mistake."
She asked curiously: "Why do you know?"
Peter just tapped his head with his finger, "It's all in my head."
Well, this sentence killed the topic instantly. The atmosphere on the court suddenly cooled down, and Gwen didn't know what to say.
After all, she and Black Superman were not familiar with each other.
Gwen gritted her teeth and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Thank you before, Black Superman."
Black Superman did not look back, still looking into the distance, but Gwen knew he was listening.
"I will take responsibility for what you asked me earlier," Gwen said.
"I will take responsibility for those who have been harmed by my willfulness.
Maybe I'm not doing well enough now, but I will try to do better again and again and try not to let others get hurt. "
"So, it may be stupid, it may be selfish, but if I encounter that situation next time, I still won't change my choice!"
Gwen said seriously: "I don't think everyone is the Green Goblin."
"This is going to be hard, Miss Spider-Man," Black Superman finally said.
"I know, but I have a reason for doing it," Gwen said.
She recalled the time when she and Peter had helped Gordon, but were blamed by Gordon instead.
At that time, even she felt that their efforts were in vain and should not be unnecessary.
Only Peter was still gentle and considerate of Gordon, and did not abandon Gordon because of this.
It turns out that Peter was right.
When the lizards attacked the school, Gordon bravely stood up and helped her.
She can't just wipe out a person's possibility.
Peter:…
Black Superman didn't say anything, he just took off and left here.
But Gwen was not discouraged. Instead, she became energized because she spoke out her inner thoughts.
She even yelled, "Also, I don't like your behavior! It's too dark!"
It's better to be Peter. She added in her mind.
It doesn’t matter whether Black Superman heard it or not... he probably didn’t hear it, right?
Gwen also left the scene feeling a little guilty.
