The next morning, Peter was awakened by a frantic telephone ringing.

The caller was none other than Tony, who had been busy all night recounting the events of the previous night to the military and S.H.I.E.L.D.:

"Peter! It's me! Tony!"

Tony's slightly tired yet incredibly excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I've already checked with the military for you, and just as you predicted, they're involved in last night's events!"

"Oh?" Peter perked up slightly. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

This was probably the first time Tony, the former arms dealer, had the opportunity to act so tough in front of the military, so his account of yesterday's events was incredibly vivid:

"What else can I say?"

"Those old geezers initially tried to argue, saying it was a misunderstanding and that I hadn't been respectful enough to them."

"Guess how I responded? I just threw my coffee away! Then I pointed my finger at his nose and said, 'Do you believe I'll blow this place up right now?'"

Even if I don't take action, the arbitrator will come eventually.

When that time comes, not one of you will escape!

Upon hearing this, the old man's face turned green instantly! He was a lieutenant general, for crying out loud!

He used to brag to me every day about how many battles he won in Vietnam, and I thought he was incredibly awesome! But it turns out he's nothing special!

Seeing that they had already backed down, I simply played the video of you tearing apart the Iron Monger.

Then I told them, "If you're not afraid of dying, then keep talking to me like that."

Let's see if the adjudicator is as easy to talk to as I am next time he meets with you!

Because Tony described it so vividly, Peter could picture the guy's cocky, arrogant demeanor at the time, and for a moment he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"And then what?"

"And then they completely shut up!" Tony said slowly, chewing on the cheeseburger Chili had brought him.

"They started explaining to me that this whole thing was a misunderstanding."

They admit that Obadiah and the Sinister Six were behind the operation, but their goal wasn't to kill you.

Instead, they hope you can help them solve a big problem.

They also said they knew their actions might have been a little reckless and hoped you could forgive them.

Upon hearing this "explanation," Peter couldn't help but let out a sneer:

"They know they're wrong? I think they know they're going to die!"

"Do those old guys really think I'm an idiot? Is this how they ask for help?"

This is because Peter was strong enough that he prevented the old men from succeeding.

If Gwen had gone to the meeting alone yesterday, she might have been cut into countless pieces by now and sent to various military laboratories for a new round of super soldier serum research.

Peter's performance was exactly what Tony wanted. He couldn't help but slap his thigh in delight, which made Pepper next to him cry out in pain, and then she glared at him fiercely.

Wait, did I slap the wrong thigh?

Realizing this, Tony first gave Pepper a sly smile before speaking:

"You're absolutely right, Jarvis. Write that down for me. I'm going to use that line to roast those old guys next time and see how they react!"

After joking around, Tony became a little more serious. "But seriously, Peter, I did find a really big guy in the video they provided."

"I estimate that they did indeed have the idea of ​​mass-producing your power to restrain or even eliminate this big guy."

However, after realizing that you were not as simple as they thought, the old guys changed their plan to cooperate with you.

"A big one?"

Peter narrowed his eyes, and an image of a muscular, green behemoth subconsciously surfaced in his mind—the Hulk, or rather, Bruce Banner.

"That's right, it's a huge green guy, over four meters tall."

"In the video, he can even lift a tank with one hand! And he emerges unscathed from a high-yield explosion."

"The military guys call this guy... Hulk."

Upon hearing the name, Peter couldn't help but think to himself, "As expected."

With this thought in mind, Peter couldn't help but become somewhat excited.

Come to think of it, I've never experienced what it's like to unleash my full combat power since I transmigrated.

Perhaps this time, when facing the Hulk, I can enjoy the thrill of battle without restraint.

As for whether he can beat Hulk...

This isn't a big problem. With the Horse Talisman and Chatonra, we can wear Hulk down until he has no more tricks up his sleeve.

If all else fails, there's still the Horse Talisman!

While Hulk's condition probably won't be instantly cured by the Horse Talisman, the crisis can be easily resolved by letting Hulk's personality fade away and allowing Banner's personality to take over.

While Peter was pondering the matter of the Hulk, Tony, perhaps having spotted someone, suddenly changed the subject and began to persuade Peter:

"Peter, some things I'm about to say might make you uncomfortable, but as a friend I feel I have to say them."

"Since we live in this country, sometimes we have to turn a blind eye."

"After all, pushing them too far would not benefit anyone."

"If you're all alone, then you can indeed go all out and wreak havoc, and if things go wrong, you can just walk away."

"But if you still have family, friends, business partners, etc., then I suggest you know when to quit while you're ahead."

I've worked with them for many years, so I know a bit about their methods.

The best way to get along is to make them fear your power and be hesitant to act against you, just like you are now.

If you really push them to the brink and they have to completely break ties with you, you don't want to see that kind of ending.

Hearing Tony say this, Peter did not become impatient as Tony had imagined.

Instead, he revealed a somewhat relieved smile.

To reiterate, he wasn't the naive young man from the original story, so he knew very well that Tony was genuinely thinking of his own interests when he said that.

She truly considered him a friend.

With this thought in mind, Peter, after deliberately remaining silent for a while, then displayed a wave of "the art of language":

"Alright, Tony, for your sake, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones and help them deal with that troublesome guy named Hulk."

In return, I requested high-level access to information about covert operations, as well as absolute say in handling special incidents in the future.

Furthermore, if they dare to scheme against me and my family and friends behind my back again, don't blame me for flipping the table... Once it comes to that, I guarantee no one will have a good time!
