Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.
Chapter 77 Uncle Ben, you seem to be going a bit too extreme.
After breakfast, Peter promptly called his good friend Harry Osborn, his ally, and told him to prepare for a second wave of large-scale bottom-fishing in a couple of days.
Harry made a fortune from his previous successful operation.
This time, without any hesitation, he patted his chest and guaranteed that he would handle things perfectly.
After receiving Harry's assurance, Peter hung up the phone, mounted his flying skateboard, and headed straight back to his home in Queens.
The main reason I didn't go home last night was because I was afraid of scaring Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei. Now, pretending to have just gotten off the plane makes much more sense.
As Peter unlocked the door, he made eye contact with Uncle Ben, who was about to leave.
"Peter?" Uncle Ben paused for a moment, then couldn't help but complain:
"Why didn't you tell us you were coming back!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Aunt May gave the old man a shove, then pushed him aside and took Peter's hand, showering him with concern.
"Are you tired?"
Are you hungry?
"Should I ask the school for you to let you rest at home today?"
Peter felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this.
"I just wanted to give you a surprise!"
As Peter spoke, he began to take out various exquisite souvenirs from his pre-prepared backpack.
Seeing Peter pull out these obviously valuable souvenirs, the relief on Uncle Ben and Aunt May's faces was gradually replaced by a subtle solemnity.
The elderly couple were naturally very pleased that their children knew to bring them gifts.
However, these gifts were too expensive; they were simply beyond the means of a family like theirs!
How impoverished were Peter's family in the original story?
The answer is that after Uncle Ben died, Aunt May and Peter argued for a long time over a mere $20. In the end, Aunt May forced Peter to accept it with tears in her eyes, and only then did Peter have no choice but to put the money in his pocket.
Despite their dire economic situation, their child brought back so many valuable gifts after a long trip.
It's hard not to worry them that Peter might have done something wrong, like taking out a loan at exorbitant interest rates out of vanity.
The thought of this possibility made Uncle Ben forget about going to work; he immediately adopted the authority of the head of the family:
"Peter, tell us the truth, did you take out a loan?"
Noticing the elderly couple's tense expressions, Peter felt both amused and helpless:
"Uncle Ben, do I look like the kind of ignorant fool I am?!"
"I earned all this money myself. A while ago, Harry and I started a company called 'Parker Technology'. Just a few days ago, we also made a fortune by investing in Stark Industries stock."
Peter took out his phone and showed the elderly couple his account balance.
The elderly couple's eyes were almost blurry from seeing such a six-figure number.
"Besides this money, I also have a monthly salary of tens of thousands of US dollars, and there will be sales bonuses after we develop the first mobile phone."
In short... with me around, you'll never have to worry about money again. You two can retire peacefully and do what you love.
Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei looked at each other blankly after hearing what he said.
Before the elderly couple could think it through, Peter dropped another bombshell:
"In addition... I actually awakened a special healing ability not long ago."
As he spoke, he grasped the elderly couple's hands and began to activate the power of the horse talisman to help them dispel various age-related ailments.
"With this ability, I am now a secret partner of the Ghost Spider."
Peter hesitated for a moment, but still did not mention the pseudonym "The Arbiter".
The main reason is that he knows Uncle Ben too well.
If this old man, bursting with a sense of justice, knew he was the arbiter, he would definitely be constantly repeating the classic phrase, "With great power comes great responsibility," in his ear.
Then she advised him not to kill anyone, and urged him to be like Gwen, helping old ladies cross the street every day...
Peter felt a headache just thinking about that scene.
Therefore, he chose to create a more "gentle" identity for himself.
"I'm now Ghost Spider's logistical assistant, specializing in providing her and her companions with medical treatment and technical support."
As he spoke, he waved the newspaper he had bought while eating breakfast:
"See this? Ghost Spider, Arbiter, and that unknown new hero, her name is Nightingale. I'm friends with them."
I even came up with the name Nightingale for her on the plane.
As Peter recounted his story, the elderly couple, both of whom had heart conditions, instinctively pressed their hands to their chests.
After covering it up for a long time, the two found that nothing had happened.
Not only were their hearts fine, but they also felt a warm sensation throughout their entire bodies.
These most obvious physical changes also indirectly prove that what Peter said was true.
The elderly couple exchanged a glance, and their subsequent actions left Peter both amused and exasperated.
Uncle Ben slammed the door shut.
Aunt Mei ran to the window like a spy and observed for a long time before quickly pulling the curtains shut.
After completing all this, the elderly couple finally breathed a sigh of relief, pressed Peter down onto the sofa from both sides, and asked in a low voice with an unprecedentedly serious expression:
"Peter, besides us and those three superheroes, is anyone else aware of your special ability?"
Peter thought to himself that they knew a great deal, but outwardly he simply shook his head slightly.
"there is none left."
"That's good!" The elderly couple breathed a sigh of relief, but then spoke with serious expressions:
"My child, I know you may really want to use your own strength to help others, but you must always act within your capabilities."
Uncle Ben didn't mention "with great power comes great responsibility" at this moment, but instead spoke with a solemn expression:
"Your Aunt Mei is right! This kind of ability should never be revealed unless absolutely necessary!"
"There are so many bad people in this world. Once this news gets into the hands of those medical tycoons... God, they'll do everything they can to get rid of you, or they'll capture you and dissect you for research!"
Aunt May then added from the side:
"You've been secretly helping those three superheroes heal, which has indirectly saved many families. There's no need for you to put yourself in danger."
The elderly couple discussed the matter back and forth, giving Peter no chance to speak, until they finally reached a consensus:
To avoid arousing suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble, everything at the Parker's house continued as usual!
They will continue to go to work, at least until Peter's phone is fully released, and then, using Peter's earnings as a reason, they can legitimately fade out of the public eye.
In short, never let yourself become any burden that might threaten Peter!
Peter's abilities became a taboo subject in the Parker family, and the three of them were forbidden from revealing Peter's healing abilities to anyone from then on!
Even Gwen and George can't do it!
Peter's expression was priceless as he watched the elderly couple giving him a serious warning.
Uncle Ben, you seem to be going a bit too extreme...
