Chapter 32

"Hmm, good job, keep it up. See you later, Peter."

The two parted ways, Peter still staring at Gwen's retreating figure.

On the other side, the school bully Fletcher and his cronies had just finished basketball and were still dribbling as they entered the cafeteria.

During the roughhousing, Fletcher exerted too much force—the basketball flew out and knocked over the tray of a girl wearing glasses.

"Fletcher! You did that on purpose! Pay for my lunch!"

"It was just an accident," Fletcher planned to weasel out of it—who in school would dare challenge him?

"Hey, Fletcher, apologize and compensate her!"

Unexpectedly, Peter Parker—the boy who had been bullied by him countless times—stepped forward bravely!

This supporting girl wore glasses and looked pitifully delicate, with little screen time.

But the audience recognized her at a glance.

"Emma Roberts?"

That's right—she was the real niece of "Big Mouth" diva Julia Roberts.

At only sixteen this year, her beauty could no longer be contained; she officially debuted in Hollywood under her "star kid" status.

Previously, she filmed a movie called "The Mermaid," and this time she had planned to audition for Gwen Stacy—but lost to Emma Stone.

So this Emma, Emma Roberts, made a cameo as Peter Parker's classmate.

In the original "The Amazing Spider-Man," the pretty girl with glasses, Hannah Marks, was only thirteen this year—far too young.

Xu Can remembered, during filming, he had exchanged a few words with Emma Roberts.

She had little screen time and finished shooting that same day; they exchanged phone numbers, became Facebook friends, and never contacted each other again.

Today, Emma Roberts did not come to the premiere.

"Which Emma do you like?"

The Emma Stone beside him suddenly asked a soul-stirring question.

"Of course, the Emma beside me."

Xu Can's offhand remark made Sister Stone smile faintly.

Even if Emma Roberts had asked it, the answer would still hold—it was a universal reply.

In the film, Fletcher originally planned to beat Peter up.

But now, Peter was no longer the same—he had gained superpowers, his confidence had exploded, and he was no longer afraid!

Before everyone's eyes, the school bully was humiliated like a monkey, toyed with by Peter using a basketball.

Finally, Peter casually threw a punch and sent Fletcher flying ten meters away!

Peter, seeking revenge and expecting cheers as a hero, was stunned—the cafeteria students stared at him as if he were a monster.

For the first time, Peter Parker realized this problem: ordinary people who awakened superpowers often grew overconfident.

As expected, Peter was called to the principal's office, and Uncle Ben was summoned too.

"It's good that Peter helped a classmate, but his abuse of violence shouldn't be encouraged."

In the hallway, Uncle Ben looked at the tall boy before him.

Lately, his behavior had been strange—perhaps a delayed adolescent rebellion.

"That guy deserved it—he bullied girls, bullied classmates! He even beat me before!" Peter was indignant.

"So this isn't righteous intervention—it's revenge, isn't it?"

Uncle Ben spoke with solemn gravity:

"Lately, whether training or anything else, do you feel so powerful you can do whatever you want?"

"I…" Peter still resisted, his expression unmistakably that of a scolded Gao Zhongsheng.

"Because of this, I had to switch shifts. You need to pick up Aunt May at nine tonight, understood?"

"Fine, fine, I got it," Peter replied impatiently and dismissively.

Watching Uncle Ben's hunched back, the audience members began to feel a creeping unease.

Was it coming?

The destiny every Spider-Man across all universes cannot escape!

And that most famous line of Spider-Man!

By the one-third mark of the film, even the most picky or critical viewers were now fully immersed in the story.

Xu Can's brilliant performance made them completely forget their prejudices and fully accept him!

Meanwhile, industry peers watching this scene couldn't help but silently marvel.

If the upcoming large-scale action sequences are up to standard,

The success of the live-action "Spider-Man" is already undeniable!
