Marvel: The Greatest Hero Era

"Who is the masked man? Can you guess? You know him too."

After hearing Zhao Chen's words, Natasha realized that Spider-Man often came to their base, especially to see Tony.

Every time Tony comes to the base, he and Spider-Man will conduct experiments together.

"Peter? He's only 12 years old, isn't that outrageous? Does Aunt May know he's doing these things?"

After Natasha guessed who it was, she let out a gasp.

"Does Aunt Mei know? I'm not entirely sure, but we can find out by asking her."

Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Surrounded by the crowd, the little spider accepted their thanks and prepared to leave. Then he heard a familiar voice coming from the outside.

"You were amazing just now, catching a robber! You're a little hero! May I ask your name? Are you an Avenger?"

The voice was very familiar to the little spider, but there were many people around, and they had just praised him highly, so the little spider was quite proud of himself.

So they didn't realize it was Zhao Chen's voice at all, especially since Zhao Chen and Natasha were fully armed from head to toe when they came out of the restaurant.

·· ······Requesting flowers··· ·

So Spider looked around but didn't see Zhao Chen or Natasha, so he didn't know who in the crowd was asking him that question.

However, after thinking for a while, he answered very loudly.

"You can call me Spider-Man, but I'm not an Avenger, sir. Thank you so much for your compliment, I'm very happy about it, but I have to go now."

People standing outside started taking out their phones to film the little spider, who just wanted to get away from the crowd as soon as possible.

.... ..... 0

He shot out a spider silk thread, which stuck to a nearby building. Just as he was about to jump, Zhao Chen teleported out of the crowd and grabbed his ankle.

Finally, gasps of surprise came from the crowd. Zhao Chen had used some force, so the little spider was pulled down in an instant and staggered a few steps.

Spider-Man nearly lost his footing and fell to the ground, which greatly surprised him. Spider-Man was very aware of his own strength, yet his opponent had caught him in an instant.

Spider glanced at the other party. Although the other party was fully armed and had brought everything, it still gave him a very familiar feeling.

Before Little Spider could even ask the other person a question, Zhao Chen removed the hats, masks, and other items she was wearing.

"I want to ask you, would you like to join our Avengers, friend?"

The Avengers' appearance caused an uproar among the crowd. People who were filming Spider-Man suddenly turned their phones on Zhao Chen and his group.

As more and more people gathered around, the little spider became extremely panicked.

Chapter 905 Conversation with Little Peter

He lowered his voice and spoke to Zhao Chen.

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to join the Avengers for the time being. But sir, I need to clarify one thing: it's not that I dislike the Avengers."

“I like every single one of you in the Avengers, but I have my own things to do, and what I want to tell you is that I don’t have time to be an Avenger.”

Zhao Chen smiled and let these people take pictures of him. At the same time, he whispered something in Little Spider's ear.

“You think I didn’t recognize you? Peter, I remember we said you couldn’t display your superpowers until you were 16.” (750)

“I remember you’re still three and a half years away from turning 16! I’ll wait for you on the rooftop of the tallest building in the next block. If you don’t come, I’ll go to your house.”

After whispering these words in the little spider's ear, Zhao Chen shouted to the crowd.

"If you don't have time, then we can discuss it later."

After saying this, Zhao Chen waved to Natasha in the crowd, then his Aether Armor appeared on his body, and he left with Natasha amidst the exclamations of the crowd.

The little spider pulled on the web he shot out, circled around him, and then went to the street next door, while Zhao Chen and Natasha were already sitting on the rooftop.

Natasha was holding a notebook and typing away on it. When she saw Spider-Man approaching, she put the notebook away.

"Alright, there are no satellites above us, and the surrounding cameras have been blocked. You don't need to wear the hood anymore, Peter."

“Mr. Zhao Chen, actually… it’s because I just happened to be passing by and then I saw it. I didn’t mean to… show off my superpowers.”

"This was just an accident, so could you please not tell Aunt May about it?"

When faced with Zhao Chen and Natasha, Spider-Man stammered, while Zhao Chen and Natasha exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.

If it were an accident, why would they prepare a set of clothes for themselves? A child is still a child; they don't know how to lie.

“Peter, you shouldn’t lie anymore, because your acting is really bad. We can promise you we won’t tell Aunt May.”

"But you also have to promise us that this will not happen again before you turn 16."

Natasha smiled at Peter and said that Peter's face turned red instantly after he realized that his lie had been exposed.

But as soon as Natasha said that, a determined look immediately appeared on Peter's face, and he looked at Natasha with a serious expression and said.

“Ms. Romanov, I cannot agree to this.”

“We’ve discussed this issue before, and we’ve also settled things. Zhao Chen, me, Tony, and your Aunt May.”

"I promise you, once you turn 16, you will come to our Avengers base and we will train you. Under our supervision, you can go out and help out."

Natasha took this issue very seriously.

"But on my way home, I saw someone snatch a woman's bag. What if the person had a knife and tried to hurt her?"

The little spider spoke anxiously, gesturing wildly as it went on...

“When faced with something like this, you can go to the law enforcement, or you can ask an adult for help, but you can’t go because you’re only 12 years old, little Peter.”

Natasha will not back down just because of Peter's words.

"But I have the ability to stop them."

Peter shouted these words. He wanted to do it, but Natasha strongly refused, so he blurted them out in a moment of anger.

However, after yelling, Peter realized that it was very impolite to yell at people like that, and immediately apologized.

“Ms. Natasha, Mr. Zhao Chen, I’m sorry for yelling at you. I didn’t mean to. What I meant to say was…”

“I can’t just stand by and watch innocent people get hurt, especially now that I have the power to stop them.”

“If I just stand by and do nothing, I feel like I’m a criminal just like them.”

The little spider tried its best to soften its tone, but you could still tell that it was very excited.

At this moment, Zhao Chen had a guess in his mind: Little Spider had witnessed the criminal act and failed to stop it, causing some irreversible consequences, so he felt very guilty.

Finally, he decided to make these clothes and carry them with him to stop the crimes he witnessed. These spider silks needed to be made secretly.

Moreover, he had to keep all of this a secret from everyone, including his beloved Aunt May.

Zhao Chen got up and walked over to Little Spider, ruffling his hair.

Chapter 906 The Dead Old Man

"Uncle has a question for you. Have you ever seen someone get hurt and did nothing to stop it, Peter?"

Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, the little spider lowered its head and, after a while, slowly began to recount what had happened.

“One time… I was coming home from school. I had been doing a lot of practice problems at school that day, so I got home very late. And Aunt Mei was working the night shift that day…”

Spider-Man's hearing was superhuman. On his way back, he heard some unusual sounds coming from the alley; someone was begging for mercy.

The little spider was curious to know what was happening over there. It peeked over and saw a thug robbing an old man.

Based on what the little spider saw, he figured the old man must have put up some resistance before he saw him, and then been beaten up by the thugs.

27 Moreover, the old man had been stabbed in the thigh, and blood was flowing out. The old man felt that he was about to die, so he began to beg for mercy.

Spider-Man was all alone at that time. He had no equipment, no clothes, no web shooters, nothing at all.

Although the little spider was young, he understood very well that he couldn't just go out like that, otherwise it would cause trouble for his family.

But he couldn't just leave without doing anything, so he took the phone and called law enforcement.

When he returned after making the call, he found that the thug who had robbed him was gone, but the old man had another stab wound to his stomach.

Upon seeing this, the little spider quickly ran towards the old man, wanting to help him. The moment the old man saw the little spider, he grabbed his clothes tightly.

The way it looked at the little spider was full of pleading, probably hoping that the little spider could help it save itself.

The old man just stared at the little spider, not having a chance to say a word, and died in the little spider's arms.

“It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, that old man wouldn’t have died. Mr. Zhao Chen, if I had gone out in time to stop him, the old man would have survived.”

“Ever since then, I often dream about that old man at night, and I dream about the look in his eyes before he died. I feel like he is blaming me for not coming out sooner.”

As he said this, Spider-Man's eyes were red and his voice was choked with emotion. He remained silent for a moment before continuing.

"After that night, I learned more about the old man. I learned that he had a daughter and a very cute one-year-old grandson."

“His daughter lost her father, his grandson lost his grandfather, it’s all my fault, it’s all because of me, I don’t want this mistake to happen again.”

"So you're telling me to stop intervening? I can't agree to that. I can't do it."

After hearing Spider-Man's words, Natasha felt incredibly sorry for him. She went to Spider-Man's side, hugged him, and comforted him.

“Peter, this is not your fault. The mistake is not yours.”
