Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 23 Say Hello

【Central City Science and Technology High School】abbreviated as Central City Middle School.

This name, which sounds awkward to a certain time traveler, is a symbol of the "elite" in New York.

Attending an elite high school, then gaining admission to an Ivy League university, and finally becoming a manager in a renowned company or a highly respected researcher—this is the life of the elite.

Some students attend this high school because of their parents, while others attend because of their genuine talent.

For example, Peter Parker, unfortunately, due to his personality, although he had good grades, he was not as popular at school as his old neighbor Gwen Stacy.

Then, the classic bullying that happens in countless parallel worlds occurred again.

In front of a group of classmates, the tall and burly Eugene Lightning Thompson, with his buzz cut, bullied his classmate Gordon on the first day of school. Then, he spotted Peter, who loved photography, and immediately asked Peter to come over and leave evidence of his "great achievements".

Honestly, it's quite an achievement for Thompson to get Gordon into that position—even the skinniest high school boy weighs at least 100 pounds, and Thompson managed to lift him up horizontally and then press him headfirst onto a table to eat his steak.

Peter was then beaten up by Thompson for refusing to aid and abet evil.

Gwen was hesitating, wondering if she should play the damsel in distress and save the day.

Honestly, any guy who relies on a girl to protect him will be labeled a "softie" no matter where he is.

Just then, Mr. Lightning suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Three burly men in black suits and wearing headsets stood in front of him. The students around him were intimidated by their presence and began to slowly back away.

Students in elite high schools are certainly not lacking in discernment.

A man dressed like that is undoubtedly a bodyguard.

There were three people when they came out. Looking further, they saw a black SUV and a brand-new Rolls-Royce Phantom parked on the roadside in the distance.

Eugene's mind went blank—had he kicked a hornet's nest?

The lead bodyguard approached: "Hello! My name is Louis. My boss has a small matter he'd like to discuss with Mr. Parker. Would you mind if Mr. Parker came over first? Your little dispute can be resolved later."

Louis's words weren't particularly aggressive, but his aura was something no young student could withstand.

"Uh, I, I'm sorry, I don't mind." *Lightning's tongue was practically tied in knots. 'Friendship over'

Gwen felt something was off, but she bravely stepped forward anyway: "Excuse me, what brings you all to see Peter?"

Louis gave a gentle smile: "Oh, is this Miss Stacy? It's nothing serious. My boss is looking to invest and just happened to come over to inquire about Mr. Parker's father."

Gwen paused, then asked, "You know my name?"

"In fact, Miss Stacy's name was on our inspection list, but Osborn Industries extended the invitation first. If you don't mind, you can come and sit in on the meeting."

The students stared blankly as the bodyguards helped Parker pick up his things, wiped the dust off him, and straightened his clothes.

Throughout the entire incident, none of the three bodyguards even glanced at Eugene Thompson, but the pressure of ending their friendship was immense!

"Peter, I... I didn't really mean to hit you."

"It's okay, just forget about it. I don't mind." Peter was a good-natured guy.

Upon reaching the main road, a bodyguard opened the car door, and Peter and his companion climbed in. They were immediately struck by the luxurious furnishings inside, nearly suffering internal injuries.

There's nothing excessively diamond-encrusted, but the handcrafted genuine leather sofas, the artistic furnishings, and various user-friendly amenities are all highlights.

Gwen glanced at an inconspicuous 'handle' on the car door. Actually, it was a hidden umbrella, but it was a bit pricey, costing five figures in US dollars.

After sitting down and the bodyguard closed the door, the two young men looked at the person sitting opposite them with some unease.

Honestly, this young man doesn't seem to be much older than them.

Looking at his clothes and watch, and then at his beautiful secretary with a laptop beside him, Peter and Gwen realized that they had probably run into a big shot on par with Tony Stark.

"Hello, Mr. Parker, Miss Stacy, I am Ang from Gotham City. Please forgive my sudden intrusion."

As Ang spoke, Diana, who was next to him, handed the two people opposite him business cards inlaid with 18k gold wire.

"The Stark Industries' biotechnology research and development division?" Gwen was genuinely shocked.

If she really wanted to investigate, Tony would definitely admit it, because someone's share dividends and other business transactions with him were processed through this account.

Ang began by getting straight to the point: "I'm planning to invest in the biotechnology field recently. Actually, I'd like to ask Mr. Parker, how much do you really know about your parents, Richard and Mary?"

Peter tensed up: "Uh, my parents left me a long time ago, and I was raised by my aunt and uncle. I know very little about them."

They chatted for over a dozen sentences, and even Gwen, who was listening in, felt embarrassed for her childhood sweetheart.

because……

Peter knew absolutely nothing when asked!

"Oh! That's such a pity. Your father was a truly admirable and great scientist. If you, Mr. Parker, are interested in pursuing research in this field in the future and have any suitable projects, you can come to me. I wouldn't mind investing in you." Ang glanced at Gwen: "Of course, Miss Stacy, you are too. I've seen your achievements, and given time, you should be able to lead a department. If you can't stay at Osborn Industries, you're welcome to come to me."

"Oh, thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Ang." Gwen practically pulled the clueless Peter along to smooth things over.

After getting off the bus, the two young people still felt like they were in a dream.

"Peter, are we dreaming? Such an important person has taken a liking to us?"

Peter, who had been keeping quiet for so long, suddenly said, "Could he have some other purpose?"

"Come on, what kind of family background do we have? Why would they bother targeting ordinary people like us?" Although Gwen was very confident in her figure and appearance, after comparing herself to the female secretary, she really couldn't beat her by much! Especially since the secretary's voice was so pleasant.

In fact, not only were Peter and his companion completely confused, but the Lance sisters were as well.

In this world, Gotham City is really close to New York City; they're on the same coastline.

A drive along the way, without traffic jams, would take at most an hour.

Why did Ang travel all this way just to see two students?

You know what, it's true.

Despite the recent chaos and fighting in Gotham City, with gangs battling it out and Batman constantly on the move, to Angle, it's all just mundane human affairs.

Let Batman deal with those lowly henchmen who don't have superhuman powers.

Ang had initially targeted the famous Spider-Man, Peter Parker. But after seeing the blurry black-and-white photos of Spider-Woman in her costume online, Ang knew that while this merged world might not have a Spider-Man, it definitely had a Spider-Woman—Gwen!

According to the so-called "history," since Gwen the Spider appeared, Peter should have turned into a lizard and died in the accident.

However, with the zombie hero invasion underway, Ang couldn't make any guarantees.

Anyway, the saying goes, "The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation." As representatives of those who achieve success against all odds, both Spider-Men are good investment targets.

Moreover, Ang values ​​their enemies more than the two of them...

Right under Ang's seat, there was not only Kratos's suit, but also a pair of replica Chaos Blades made of the same material as Iron Man and enhanced with Red Soul.

"Heh heh! My greatsword is itching for a fight!"
