Superman Marvel Adventures

Adam nodded, walked over to Harry, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Although you've lost your father, don't forget you still have Johnson, me, and Peter, your good friend. You have to pull yourself together; your father still has many dreams to fulfill! You can't let those who care about you down!"

Harry let out a soft sigh and said, "Sorry, Adam, I got a little emotional. Don't worry, I won't let Osborn Enterprises fall. I will carry on Father's wishes!"

Peter Parker chuckled and said, "That's more like it. Since you've decided to carry on your father's wishes, go get some food first, then take a nap. I don't want to see headlines like 'Osborn Corporation's heir sleeps at father's funeral' in tomorrow's papers."

Harry smiled slightly and said, "They won't have that chance! Uncle Johnson, could you get us something to eat? I'm a little hungry."

Johnson nodded happily and said, "Yes, young master. I'll prepare some tea and snacks for you right away. It's so good to see you've recovered."

Harry replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, Uncle Johnson, for making you worry. Don't worry, I won't be confused anymore. Osborne Enterprises will flourish even more under my leadership!"

Johnson was so moved he almost cried. He thanked Adam and Peter Parker profusely, then quickly went outside, seemingly to prepare refreshments for Harry himself.

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Look, Harry, you are not alone."

Harry nodded and said, "Thank you, Adam. I will remember this day."

Soon, Johnson brought some refreshments and black tea into the living room, and Harry and the others ate some refreshments and drank some tea together. Then, at nine o'clock, they left the Osborn house and went to the cemetery.

Norman Osborne's funeral was very simple, though there were quite a few people in attendance. Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion. Perhaps Sam was too scared of Adam yesterday to cause any trouble, so the funeral ended quickly.

After the funeral, Adam and Harry said goodbye to Tony Stark, who had come with them, and left. On the way, Tony remarked, "Life is so unpredictable. But, man, do you know who assassinated Norman Osborn?"

Adam shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but I already have two suspects, and Athena is investigating them now."

Tony paused for a moment, then said, "Huh? They found it so quickly? It seems they decided to assassinate Mr. Norman Osborn on short notice?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right, that should be it. I've discovered that there's more than one person in the company who wants Norman Osborn dead."

Tony shrugged and said, "There are quite a few people in our company who want me dead. Although they don't show it, I can still feel their malice."

Adam paused slightly, then said, "That's why I chose to inject you with the super serum. Alas, the world has changed."

Tony nodded and said, "It has indeed changed. When mutants were fully exposed, the world had already begun to change, but we just didn't want to admit it at the time."

Adam suddenly stopped and said, "Tony, you go back first. Athena just informed me that a suspect is alone. I'll go check if he's connected to this matter."

Tony was taken aback for a moment and asked, "Is that so? Okay, go ahead, be careful."

Adam waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me! I might be a bit busy lately. Call me when the Stark Industries Annual Show starts."

Tony nodded and said, "Okay, see you later!" Then he got into his car and drove away.

Adam donned his battle suit and flew high into the air, finding Peter Parker leaping around on the rooftop. Seeing his unusually human-like movements, Adam wondered, 'Could it really be him? Did he go there yesterday to steal the Super Serum?' Clearly, Adam attributed Peter Parker's abilities to the effects of the Super Serum, as he was unaware of Peter Parker's activities at Osborn Corporation and the adventures he had encountered. He landed directly in front of the excited Peter Parker.

Ps:

Second update, I'm late. Sorry, a colleague, a really nice guy to me, is going home. I went to see him off today.

Chapter 143 Peter Parker's Confession

Ps:

That's all for today, sorry. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow (well, I mean try, not necessarily. By the way, how much do I owe again?).

Peter Parker felt very unwell after returning home yesterday. He barely made it home before collapsing onto his bed after only managing to tell his aunt and uncle. When he woke up the next day, he realized something was wrong. His eyesight, which should have been around 600-700 degrees, was completely healed; he could easily see the wings of a fly swatting past him and the hairs on its legs. (c66c.com)

Moreover, his previously ordinary physique had become muscular and even, giving him a sense of power. He was somewhat bewildered, not knowing what had happened. Just then, he noticed something strange about his neck. Reaching out, he saw that what he was holding was a dead spider, its body still attached to a web several times stronger than ordinary spider silk. It was the same colorful spider he had seen in the O'S Enterprise laboratory yesterday.

Upon seeing the spider, Peter Parker recalled the information he had seen in his father's diary and the things Dr. Connors had said before, and was immediately shocked. Could it be that he had actually gained the abilities of a spider?

Before he could process this information, there was a knock on his door.

"Peter! Peter, are you there? Come out for a second, something happened. I just saw it on the news on TV, come take a look."

It was Peter's uncle. He wouldn't normally come looking for Peter in such a hurry, so it could only mean something important had happened. Peter, no longer able to admire his own transformation, grabbed a t-shirt, pulled it on, and opened the door.

"Uncle, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to see me? Did the water pipe burst again? Didn't I fix it a few days ago?"

Peter Parker's uncle shook his head and said, "That's not it, alas, Harry's father, Mr. Norman Osborne was assassinated last night."

Peter Parker was shocked. He asked, "What? Uncle, Mr. Norman Osborne has been assassinated? How could that be?"

Peter's uncle sighed and said, "We can't believe it either, but since it's already on TV, it can't be fake. You should call Harry."

Peter Parker nodded and said, "Well, that's fine. I'll try calling Harry." He then looked for his phone and tried calling Harry, but the caller ID said Harry's phone was switched off.

Uncle Ben saw Peter's expression and said, "Hmm? What's wrong? Didn't you answer the phone?"

Peter nodded and said, "Harry's phone is off. It seems this is probably true. I have to go see Harry." After saying that, he chose a black suit and hurriedly left home.

When Peter Parker arrived at Harry's house, he learned what had happened from the butler. Knowing Harry must be feeling guilty, he went over to comfort him, as he himself had experienced something similar, having been with his parents the day before. Then, on the third day, he suddenly received a call from the police saying that his parents' plane had crashed and they were likely dead.

Therefore, Peter Parker understood Harry's current feelings, especially knowing that Mr. Norman Osborn was killed while trying to save Harry. This would undoubtedly cause Harry even more pain, and he needed comfort from his good friend.

Just as Peter Parker was comforting Harry, Adam Stark arrived. Peter knew Adam Stark. The hottest character lately wasn't just a super-rich man and a famous scientist; more importantly, he was a superhero. Previously known as Batman when he was hiding his identity, he was now called Superman because he no longer needed to conceal it.

Peter Parker also knew that Adam Stark was one of the shareholders of Osborn Corporation, and one of the three largest shareholders. He held only slightly fewer shares than Norman Osborn. It could be said that now that Norman Osborn was deceased, Adam Stark was the most influential person in Osborn Corporation, since Harry could not possibly inherit all of Norman Osborn's shares.

After Adam Stark arrived and comforted Harry for a while, he mentioned something that greatly interested Peter Parker: the other side had identified several suspects. However, when it came to suspects, Peter Parker still felt that Adam Stark had glanced at him just now. Could it be that the other side also considered him a suspect? No way, Peter Parker thought helplessly.

He knew his body had changed a lot. Although Harry was too heartbroken to notice, and as an ordinary person, it was impossible for him to notice any abnormalities in his body, Adam Stark, as a superhero, must have noticed his own unusual condition. Perhaps that's why Adam Stark felt that he was also a suspect.

After thinking it through, Peter Parker sighed inwardly, saying, "Sure enough, he did find me yesterday. Perhaps he thought I was interested in the Osborn Corporation, so he ignored me. But Mr. Osborn was murdered that very night, and my body suddenly became much stronger. He'll definitely suspect me. Oh well, I'll find some time to explain things to him later." Thinking this, Peter Parker breathed a slight sigh of relief, after all, he didn't want his idol to continue to misunderstand him.

While Peter Parker was agonizing over these things, Adam Stark had already comforted Harry, and Harry also said that he would not embarrass his father. Therefore, Peter Parker quickly affirmed Harry's words. Afterwards, knowing that Harry had not eaten breakfast, he told Adam Stark, and then the two of them persuaded Harry to eat.

Harry had perhaps truly come to terms with it, so he asked his butler, Johnson, to get some food. The three of them then had some refreshments at Harry's house before heading to the cemetery. Mr. Norman Osborne's funeral officially began.

After the funeral, Peter Parker knew Harry must have some personal matters or things related to Osborn Enterprises to discuss with someone, so he said goodbye to Harry and prepared to go home. He had originally planned to confess some things to Adam Stark after the funeral, but after seeing Adam Stark with his brother Tony Stark, Peter Parker decided to postpone it. After all, he only knew Adam Stark and wasn't very familiar with him, so going over there now would be inappropriate.

Thinking this, Peter Parker started his way home, but halfway there he suddenly remembered the power he had gained. He had a strong urge to see just how strong his power really was, so instead of going home, Peter Parker turned a corner and came to an abandoned site, a place where he used to practice skateboarding, to test his power.

The final result was extremely satisfying for Peter Parker. He discovered that he was now practically a humanoid spider, except that he couldn't spin webs. Perhaps the kind of interspecies inheritance his father had mentioned in his notebook could really be achieved, and he was a perfect example of it.

Just as he was easily walking back and forth along the wall using both hands and feet, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound in the distance. Peter Parker was startled and almost fell off the wall. He barely managed to regain his balance but found there was nothing there. Although somewhat puzzled, he thought he was just being overly sensitive, so he continued his experiment, jumping from one rooftop to another.

Just then, Adam Stark suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of Peter Parker.

"Mr. Adam? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Adam Stark glanced at Peter Parker and asked, "If I remember correctly, you should be just an ordinary person, not some kind of mutant. Can you tell me where you got these abilities? This isn't a power that an ordinary person could possess!"

Adam Stark's tone greatly displeased Peter Parker. He had initially planned to tell Adam his purpose for going to Osborn Corporations, but Adam's questioning tone only exacerbated his rebellious phase.

"My abilities naturally come from my own efforts. What, do you disagree that ordinary people can possess power?" Of course, he didn't know that the more he said this, the more Adam would suspect his connection to Norman Osborn's assassination.

Sure enough, Adam Stark frowned upon hearing Peter's words and said, "You mean you obtained this power through your own efforts? Hmph. I bet you acquired it by stealing!"

Adam Stark already suspected Peter Parker of stealing the Super Serum, and Peter's tone had been quite aggressive just now, which is why he said that. But Peter Parker didn't know that he had only acted impulsively. After hearing Adam's words, he remembered that he had indeed secretly entered Osborn Corporation to gain this ability, so he was somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

A wonderful misunderstanding arose just like that. Adam Stark, upon seeing Peter Parker's expression, immediately assumed that the boy was ashamed of his theft and felt that there was still hope for the child, perhaps he had simply been tempted by others.

"Alright, I won't pursue the matter of your unauthorized use of the Super Serum, but you have to make me come here. I don't know if the Super Serum has any side effects, and you have to tell me who asked you to steal the Super Serum?"

Peter Parker was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "What? You're saying I stole the Super Serum? How is that possible? I only read about the Super Serum in the newspaper, how could I steal it!"

Upon hearing this, Adam said, "Hmph, you're still trying to deny it! Didn't you just admit that you obtained this ability through your own power? If you hadn't stolen the Super Serum yesterday, how could you have gotten this ability! Peter, I know you've just been deceived by some people. They might just want to use you for experiments. Don't be so stubborn. The person who made you steal the Super Serum might be related to Mr. Osborn's death. You're not allowed to say it!"

Peter Parker was furious and shouted, "How dare you insult me! Yes, I did go to Osborn Corporation yesterday, but that was only because I had some things to investigate. I have no idea which floor the super serum is on or which lab it's in. And why don't you check the security footage?"

Adam said calmly, "I checked the surveillance footage before I came here, which is why I believe that you stole the super serum, and someone else stole the biological weapon. Then the other party got the super serum from you, activated the biological weapon, and assassinated Mr. Norman Osborn. Although you only stole the super serum, you can also say that you indirectly caused Mr. Norman Osborn's death. Hmph, don't you feel ashamed?"

Peter Parker deserved his bad luck. After reviewing the video footage, Adam Stark discovered that the floor Peter Parker last went to was an important laboratory where no video footage was allowed to be left. Coincidentally, the Super Serum laboratory was also on that floor. Therefore, due to a series of coincidences, Adam Stark had to suspect that Peter Parker stole the Super Serum.

Peter Parker was truly speechless, and his rebellious streak suddenly kicked in. He snorted, "Think what you want, I've never taken the super serum! And I'm not going with you. You're not a policeman, why are you arresting me? Besides, you know perfectly well that Harry and I are friends, I wouldn't get involved in something like this, and you still doubt me, humph! Fine, I'm going home!" With that, he leaped away, preparing to leave Adam and return to his own home.

Chapter 144 Green Goblin

Adam suspected Peter Parker of stealing the super serum, so he had Athena investigate. They discovered that Peter Parker had last visited the key laboratory the previous day. Because the experiments there were important, there wouldn't be surveillance equipment installed there; there was only a facial recognition system at the entrance. Peter Parker had sneaked in while others were out, so Athena couldn't find out which laboratory he had entered. Therefore, Adam decided to go and question him himself.

Through Athena, Adam learned that Peter Parker was experimenting with his abilities in an abandoned site. After saying goodbye to Tony, Adam changed into his suit, flew to Peter Parker's side, and then saw Peter Parker jumping around on the top floor of a building.

Because Adam hadn't seen Peter Parker crawling on the wall like a spider before he arrived, he confirmed with his family that Peter Parker was the one who had collaborated with Bart to steal the super serum. Therefore, he landed in front of Peter Parker without hesitation and began interrogating him.

Peter Parker was at least a tech geek before, and although he was very capable, he was somewhat insecure because he didn't have parents. Having finally obtained the power that excited him, he was met with Adam's questioning, and naturally, he wouldn't give Adam a friendly look. Therefore, after a few words of argument, feeling that Adam didn't believe him at all, Peter Parker angrily jumped off the roof, intending to leave Adam and return to his own home.

Adam was visibly startled when Peter Parker jumped off the roof. He obviously thought the other man had jumped off the roof in a fit of pique, so he appeared downstairs in a flash to catch Peter Parker and, incidentally, teach him a lesson.

But something unexpected happened. Peter Parker didn't fall, nor did he commit suicide. Instead, Peter Parker clung to the building like a spider, moving quickly on his hands and feet to run to the other side.

Adam was stunned for a moment after seeing it, and said, "Something's not right. This isn't something a super serum could make. Could I have wronged him?" After saying that, he smiled slightly at Peter Parker, who was walking into the distance, and instantly appeared in front of him.

Peter Parker was slightly startled, then said somewhat angrily, "What do you mean? I've already said I have nothing to do with Mr. Osborn's death, why won't you let me go?"

Adam smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I was overthinking it. I apologize for what happened just now, but could you tell me why I became like this?"

Peter Parker was clearly taken aback by Adam's apology and paused for a moment. Then he said, "This doesn't seem like the place to talk!"

Adam paused for a moment, realizing that although the two were in a relatively remote place, it didn't seem appropriate for Peter Parker to be lying on the roof like this. He chuckled, grabbed Peter's shoulder, and led him to the rooftop.

"Can we talk now? I think no one will disturb us here."

Peter Parker hadn't expected Adam to catch him so easily. Even though he had sensed Adam's movements, he still hadn't been able to react in time. He swallowed hard and said, "Actually, I was going to tell you this before, but you treated me like a criminal the moment you arrived. So I was in a bad mood and didn't want to say anything."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but when I was investigating the clues, I happened to see you enter the key experimental building. So I thought you were also related to this incident, and I also happened to see you training here, so I thought it was thanks to the super serum, and that's why I saw you as a criminal."

Peter Parker scratched his head and said, "I knew this would happen. Actually, my ability comes from a colorful spider. Yesterday, I accidentally went into a laboratory. It was full of all kinds of spiders. I was bitten and only noticed the changes on my body this morning."

After hearing this, Adam said, "It seems there are many things about Osborn Corporation that I don't understand. Perhaps I should continue investigating Sam and Bart."

After listening, Peter Parker asked, "Are the two people you just mentioned the other suspects?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right, they are indeed other suspects. Okay, I apologize for what I said earlier. Since everything's alright, you can go back now. I think you should have class today."

Upon hearing this, Peter Parker hurriedly said, "Hey, Mr. Adam, do you need my help? You see, I now have the ability to do some things that can help Harry find his father's killer."

Adam shook his head and said, "That won't do, Peter. Your abilities are a blessing, but I still don't want you to neglect your studies for these things. Don't forget the dream you once had. Besides, your strength is still weak. If you're not careful, you might be captured by some organization and experimented on, like S.H.I.E.L.D." As he spoke, he shamelessly smeared S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, Peter Parker, caught up in his rebellious phase, clearly didn't listen. He nodded slightly and said perfunctorily, "Okay, Mr. Adam, I won't get involved in such matters. Oh, it's getting late, I should go back to school. I only took half a day off." With that, he quickly ran away from the rooftop.

Shortly after Peter left, Athena appeared in front of Adam and laughed, "It seems that Master is not suited to lecturing. The other party is obviously just going through the motions."

Adam shrugged and said, "That's how rebellious teenagers are. Okay, what's up?"

Athena nodded and said, "Something has indeed happened. Bart Melton, our first suspect, has been killed by the Green Goblin."

Adam was taken aback and asked, "Bart was killed? How could that be? And who is the Green Goblin?"

Athena explained, "Green Goblin is the name the police gave to the guy who assassinated Mr. Norman Osborn last time. Bart was attacked by Green Goblin at his home not long ago, and his villa was blown up. The police are investigating further."

Adam pondered, "Could it be that Bart staged this suicide himself? After all, when all the evidence points to him, his sudden death makes one think in that direction."

Athena nodded and said, "We can't rule out that possibility. However, the forensic doctor has already obtained some remains at the scene. Perhaps we can find out whether Bart is really dead or just pretending to be dead after some time."
