I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

As he spoke, he placed the newspaper on the table, revealing the headline: "Hunter Craven Killed by Werewolf and Unknown Creature!"

Chapter 127 Two percent still not enough? Don't do it!

"Everyone is focused on some strange creature right now, so our stock price won't continue to fall. But the bad news is, nobody is paying attention to what I do next."

Obadiah looked at Tony. "What do you want to do? Something about Warren Mining?"

"Yes, the acquisition is just the first step, and there are many more steps to come, but none of that matters now. I'm going to enjoy my pie. Would you like some? Maybe it will help you forget your troubles."

Tony pressed the phone button and said to his secretary on the other end of the line, "Okay, you can bring my delivery in now."

Obadiah was very dissatisfied with the playboy's frivolousness, but considering that Stark Industries still needed him to keep things in order, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

“No, I have an appointment, so you can skip the party, Tony. I also heard you’re going to set up a research foundation.”

"uh-huh."

“I am indeed interested in strange and unusual creatures. In a way, I am helping the citizens of New York. Perhaps our mayor should give me an award called the ‘Tony Stark Non-Scientific Contribution Award’.”

Obadiah frowned. Although he felt the other party was somewhat neglecting his duties, he wouldn't offer his opinion on such a trivial matter.

So in the end, all I could say was, "Be careful, those troublemakers aren't like your business rivals; they don't follow any rules."

"actually"

Tony shrugged. "I'm not exactly a rule-follower either. Remember when I attended Louise's funeral? I punched that priest."

Obadiah certainly remembered the incident, "because of his inappropriate condolence, I remember Mrs. Louise was given a sedative in the lounge at the time."

In his eyes, Tony was this kind of person: proud, willful, and unruly.

Obadiah patted Tony on the shoulder. "I know Louise is one of your good friends, I understand."

Although this playboy appears to be very outgoing and sociable, he knows that Tony is actually a reclusive guy who is not good at making friends.

"He's not my good friend."

Tony said, "Actually, I don't even know who my friends are?"

Obama feigned surprise, "Am I not one either?"

Before Tony could answer, he patted Tony's arm. "Alright, I don't care about that. Just remember to be on time for the meeting this afternoon, and don't get late because of the reporters."

After Obadiah left the office, Tony Stark sat down in the manager's chair.

After a few seconds of finger manipulation on the virtual display screen on the table, a 3D image appeared in the air.

This is a newly discovered mine by Warren Mining, an open-pit copper mine.

If calculated based on proven reserves, this copper mine could even have half the reserves of the Kennegot copper mine.

(Kennegot: One of the largest open-pit mines in the United States)

"Part of this copper mine is near a state park."

He suddenly remembered the hottest news right now: the hunter Craven had an accident in the state park.

"I hope my luck won't be that bad."

As he spoke, he picked up the banana pie his secretary had brought in earlier and took a bite out of it.

The next day.

John F. Kennedy International Airport is bustling with activity.

While Harry was sending people to collect their tickets, Peter and Gwen sat on plastic chairs in the waiting area, listening to the announcements of flight departures and arrival times.

Harry has to spend some time in Chicago to deal with his father's outstanding debts.

Although he had someone with him in Chicago, it was still a difficult journey for a high school student.

Peter and Gwen, being close friends, came to the airport to see Harry off.

The group arrived at the airport 40 minutes before the plane took off.

Peter was on his phone sending text messages.

Helen texted her back: "Why me? You can do it yourself."

Peter had previously asked her to buy two hundred lottery tickets for him.

As for what lottery it was, it was naturally the set of winning numbers that he had obtained from Reed through coercion and inducement.

According to Reed, based on his calculated formula, the lieutenant general's number was included in those two hundred numbers.

"It's more convenient for you, since you often change your identity, so this shouldn't be difficult for you."

Peter texted back: "The jackpot is $1369 million. I can give you 10% of it."

"You're really confident, Peter. You're already planning how to use the bonus before you've even bought it."

"Why, don't you want to?"

"Fifty percent."

Peter naturally disagreed with the other party's exorbitant demands, saying, "You're just running an errand, it's fair."

“I will bear all the risks. I suppose you won the lottery through illegitimate means. It’s fairer for me to take the blame for you.”

Peter texted back again: "Twenty percent."

Helen: "Forty percent."

"Then I'll find someone else."

Seeing that Peter was about to leave, Helen had no choice but to give in: "Fine, I agree. You're such a miser."

By the time Peter put away his phone, the group had already arrived at the ticket counter.

Gwen asked Harry if he wanted to go to the bookstall in the airport to pick out something to read on the plane.

Ha looked at her with a thoughtful expression and said, "To be honest, I don't really like reading."

“I don’t think I’m cut out for studying. At least, I’m not as good as you or Peter. Dad always thought I wasn’t talented enough, and I thought so too.”

Gwen felt it was necessary to advise her friend on her despondent state of mind.

“I think you’re very smart, Harry. At least when Peter was often bullied, you always found the perfect words to comfort him, and every time Peter heard your words, he felt completely healed.”

Peter was speechless.

This also involves myself.

Harry's mood improved considerably, and he looked at the crowd in the bookstore. "Well, Gwen, do you have any book recommendations?"

"I don't know, but if you want me to recommend some rock music, I can recommend a whole bunch."

As Gwen spoke, she walked toward the bookstore with Peter and the others.

There weren't many people in the bookstore. After Harry bought the books, he went to the counter to pay. There was only a father and daughter in front of him.

The little girl seemed worried about her truancy and looked up at her father, asking, "Dad, will the official who catches truants catch me? Teacher Andy said there's an official who catches truants; he's the one who catches truants."

The father patted the little girl's head and said, "Don't be afraid of the officials who arrest truants. I will ask the school to grant you leave, and you can come back to school in the fall."

The girl looked sickly.

Chapter 128 Does Gwen's daughter have the surname Parker?

"You're going to be fine."

Gwen looked somewhat somber as she listened to the conversation between the father and daughter.

She could always empathize with the pain of strangers.

"what happened?"

After paying and leaving the bookstore, Peter noticed Gwen's unusual behavior and asked her in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just thought of some bad things."

Gwen gave Peter a forced smile.

Harry was still paying the bill when Peter glanced at the father and daughter walking away and roughly understood why Gwen's mood had suddenly changed.

They will be alright.

Peter comforted Gwen.

Gwen gave Peter a knowing look, then turned her gaze to the crowd outside.

She then said to Peter with some frustration, "I'm not simply letting other people's affairs affect me; it's just that I once had a dream."

"What dream?"

"It's hard to describe in detail. I mean, it was a bit bizarre. In my dream, I had a daughter who looked a lot like the girl from earlier. As for how she came to be, maybe...maybe she was picked up from the grass."

Gwen glanced at Peter shyly, too embarrassed to reveal that Peter was her father.

As Gwen spoke, she recalled her mother telling her that when a woman wants a child, she should go to the grass and pick one.

She remembered making a foolish vow never to lie to Peter again, but she found herself to be a complete liar.

She actually used the lie her mother told her to deceive Peter.

“Oh,” Peter responded, and then fell silent.

As Gwen began to feel uneasy, Peter asked her, "Is she cute?"

"Of course, she's adorable. I've never seen a cuter girl than her. She has bright green eyes, and she's amazing."

Peter looked at Gwen in surprise.

Although he wanted to ask if she was his daughter, he couldn't bear to leave Gwen's feelings alone, so he asked her, "What's her last name?"

"I don't remember, maybe it was Parker, maybe it was something else."

Gwen coughed, deliberately avoiding looking at Peter's face.

This was already a clear indication, and Peter couldn't help but fall into thought.

Is Gwen going to have her own babies too?

Why did I say "also"?
