I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

“I just want to remember the hatred so I can find the real killer who shot my parents. Jessica, my conditions remain the same: if you can help me find them, I will pay you $5000.”

Jessica Jones was tempted, but declined.

"Hao, the information you provided is too vague. I also went to the police station, but the police station archives responsible for your parents' murder were burned down in a fire. Without more information, it's difficult for me to investigate."

But Hao Longtao knew that Jessica Jones didn't want the money he had worked so hard to save to be endlessly spent on revenge.

In her eyes, Hao Longtao was still a poor student.

He still has to go to university, and revenge will deplete the wealth his parents left him.

If he continues to leech off Hao Longtao, this young Chinese American, he won't even have to wait until Hao Longtao graduates from college. He'll be kicked out of Hell's Kitchen because he can't afford the tuition and rent, and end up as a homeless person under a bridge in New York.

Jessica Jones knows Hao Longtao's personality very well.

If Hao Longtao knew who the murderer was, he would definitely seek revenge at all costs.

This will harm Hao Longtao.

Moreover, she herself is in trouble, big trouble, and doesn't want to have too much contact with Hao Longtao now, as it wouldn't benefit him at all.

“Jones, I’m going to school. My terms remain the same: I’ll pay you $5000 as long as you find them—no, provide useful information.”

The elevator door opened.

Hao Longtao left a message, hopped on his skateboard, and started heading towards the subway entrance.

"Good morning, Long Tao."

Hannah, the girl with glasses, greeted Hao Longtao.

Good morning, Hannah.

The two were seated very close to each other.

Hao Longtao glanced at the girl with glasses a couple more times.

He recognized who Hannah was.

She only had a few scenes in "The Amazing Spider-Man", but she left a deep impression on the audience with her good looks.

This is a girl whose beauty is hidden by her glasses.

"Do you have someone in mind for your date (dance partner)?"

Hannah asked in a low voice.

It took Hao Longtao a while to come to his senses.

Who do you think would be willing to be a dance partner for a Chinese person?

Hao Longtao said self-deprecatingly.

At school, he was practically invisible.

Besides Hannah, there weren't many people she could talk to.

Especially those guys in the class.

They knew that Hao Longtao's parents had been shot and killed by a black man, and they would never consider having anything to do with Hao Longtao.

Hannah thought for a moment and then fell silent.

She had no feelings for Hao Longtao.

It was just a simple friendship between classmates.

"You're very handsome. Julia has feelings for you from the moment she saw you."

Hannah said in a low voice.

The gaze fell on cheerleader Julia.

That red-haired, fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful woman?

Hao Longtao followed Hannah's gaze.

Hao Longtao shook his head violently.

I don't know many people in my class.

In other people's eyes, he was a freak.

A bookworm who only knows how to study, introverted, and unwilling to interact with others.

He's completely invisible.

He only knows three or five people.

Of all the people who knew him, only Hannah could call him by name.

Oh, and the teachers too.

Class has begun.

Hao Longtao's attention was not on the class.

He is about to graduate.

To get into a good university, you also need a letter of recommendation from someone influential.

Otherwise, the acceptance rate of the schools he applies to will be very low.

Because his goal is MIT.

I could hear my classmates talking.

With his keen hearing, he quickly caught the sensitive words.

Tony Stark.

"I heard that Mr. Stark has been found."

It was just a single sentence, yet it caught Hao Longtao's attention.

Have the missing Starks returned?

Is the Marvel storyline about to begin?

Hao Longtao knew that mutants existed in the world, but news about mutants was deliberately suppressed.

Even the recent battle against the Green Monster in Harlem, which had a huge impact and was incredibly destructive, was eventually suppressed.

Hao Longtao knew this was a battle between the Hulk and the Abomination.

At this time, Stark Industries was still in Los Angeles.

The iconic Stark Industries building was recently acquired by Stark Industries, and the headquarters have not yet moved into the building.

None of this is critical.

"With Tony Stark's return, Stark Industries' stock price will rebound."

"This is a great opportunity to short Stark Industries."

Because Tony Stark's return would shut down the weapons department.

Stark Industries will be cut in half.

"If handled properly, I could even become a minority shareholder in Stark Industries."

Hao Longtao's gaze was deep and focused.

Fortunately, he has 4400 million in savings, and by leveraging it, he can make a fortune.

Whether you have a lot of money or a little, it's all just numbers.

The key is that your wealth will increase.

"Besides Stark Industries, there's also the Osborn Corporation..."

With that in mind, Hao Longtao's gaze fell on Peter Parker.

[Ding! Please select the following mission. I. Help Peter Parker become Spider-Man and guide him. Mission Ascension: White.]

[II. Seize Peter Parker's opportunity and create the Ghost Spider-Man. Mission Level: Blue.]

【Please select? 】

Ghost Spider-Man?

Gwen Stacy!

Hao Longtao's gaze involuntarily fell on the girl with a head of smooth blonde hair.

Stone Sister? She looks even younger than Stone Sister.

She's a very pretty girl.

Hannah glanced at Hao Longtao and smiled.

Sure enough, every man likes Gwen Stacy.

"System, select option two."

Will the mission be more difficult because the plot and even the timeline have been changed?

I wonder if the Time Management Bureau will show up and come after me?

[The Spider Woman Quest has been accepted. Subsequent quests are complete. Do you wish to blindly accept the next quest? Rewards will be stacked and increased by +200%!]

Hao Longtao's eyes brightened slightly.

The series of missions has begun.

The last mission was blue and cyan, but after the rewards were merged and increased dramatically, a purple blind box was formed, which yielded a Frozen Fruit.

Now that Hao Longtao is even more capable, he is naturally not afraid to take on the test of continuous missions.

"accept."

Hao Longtao began to think about the process of the next task.

As for making Gwen Stacy the Ghost Spider-Man, Hao Longtao thought it was a simple matter.

Simply throw Gwen Stacy into the Osborn Corporation's spiderweb.

Chapter Four: Shorting Stark Industries with 20x Leverage

Interactive Brokers (IB).

The world's largest online securities trading platform.

Hao Longtao is also considered a major client of IB.

He has been trading frequently since he opened his securities account a year ago.

However, the principal was not lost.

I made a small profit, but it all went to Interactive Brokers' trading fees.

The commission is only $0.005 per share, which is a very reasonable price.

Hao Longtao contacted his account manager.

They obtained leveraged financing of up to 20 times.

Stark Industries

Stock price: $12 per share

Increase: If 97 &

Market capitalization: $1200 billion

Number of shares: 100 billion

Before the market opened today, the stock price had already fallen to $10.

It's worth noting that the stock price was $15 before Tony Stark went to the Middle East.

Before Tony Stark disappeared, the company's market value reached $1500 billion.

During the two months they were missing, Stark Industries was steadily declining.

Based on Hao Longtao's experience, during this period, someone had been acquiring Stark Industries stock.

After all, with Stark Industries' current assets, even without Tony Stark, the company's net worth would be more than $1000 billion.
