Chapter 324: The Spider and the Black Cat Ran to the Pacific (Second update!)

The old butler of the manor, who had served Norman Osborne and Harry Osborne, and now served Felicia Hardy, listened to the purpose of the three and spoke with a confused face.

Once these words were spoken.

Mary was shocked.

Gwen's small mouth opened slightly.

Hawk also raised an eyebrow.

Yo!

Peter finally figured it out, that struggling himself wasn't as good as finding a rich woman, so he abandoned Mary and ran off to elope with the Black Cat?

No, that's not right.

He remembered that it wasn't the movie, but in the Spider-Man comics, there was a version where the Black Cat Felicia and Spider-Man Peter were lovers.

So strictly speaking, this shouldn't be called eloping.

But...

This also wouldn't do!

How could this be allowed?

You haven't even broken up with Mary yet; this is called two-timing, this is scumbag behavior.

As Hawk, who had the persona of being devoted, his thoughts wandered at this moment, and he expressed his real-name disdain for this behavior of Peter's.

Just then.

Gwen, from the corner of her eye, caught the smirk that had hooked onto her fiancé's face and gave Hawk a light elbow jab on the spot.

Hawk immediately came back to his senses and looked at Gwen.

Gwen glared at Hawk, then looked at Mary, who was shocked beside her, and hurriedly hugged her best friend in a preemptive manner, looking at the old butler: "Did Peter or Felicia say where they were going, or what they were going to do?"

The old butler shook his head.

"Didn't say, but the Young Lady and Peter left in a hurry."

"In a hurry?"

"Yes."

The old butler nodded and then said: "For specifics, you can call the Young Lady's satellite phone. The Young Lady only called yesterday."

Gwen's eyes lit up: "Then can we make a call?"

Mary was silent at this moment.

The old butler smiled and said of course they could, then turned around, led the three into the house, and after saying 'wait a moment', ran off to get the satellite phone.

Gwen pulled the silent Mary to sit on the sofa in the living room: "You heard it just now, they left in a hurry, there must be some urgent matter, and Peter doesn't have a satellite phone, so he couldn't contact you."

Ordinary best friends advise breaking up rather than making up.

But those are plastic best friends.

Gwen was a real best friend.

So she tried hard to make excuses for Peter.

As Peter's good brother, Hawk didn't say a word, because Gwen was not only Mary's real best friend but also his own fiancée. At this time, it was enough for Gwen to speak; if he also made excuses for Peter, it would feel like both of them were speaking up for Peter.

That wasn't good.

Mary listened to Gwen's excuses, and the expression of anxiety for Peter on her face gradually became calm: "But Felicia has one, he could have borrowed it from Felicia."

Hearing this, Gwen's expression froze, and then she raised her head and looked at Hawk, who was sitting to the side, with a look of seeking help.

After Hawk received the signal, his thoughts turned, and just as he was about to save the situation.

The old butler came back with the satellite phone: "The call has already..."

Before he finished speaking.

Mary had already 'swooshed' up, took the satellite phone, spoke two sentences, and then, listening to Felicia's voice coming from the other end of the satellite phone, said calmly: "Can you let Peter answer the phone?"

After a while.

Peter's voice came from the satellite phone.

Mary grabbed the phone and walked to the side.

After Gwen and Hawk looked at each other, they looked at the old butler who was walking over.

The old butler's expression was also a bit curious: "When I called the Young Lady, after hearing that you came to find Peter, Peter said he had called Aunt May. Didn't you go find her?"

Gwen was slightly stunned: "Aunt May? She said Peter didn't call either."

Hawk, who was to the side, heard this, laughed, and looked at Gwen: "Aunt May never said Peter didn't call her. She only said she came back very late last night and didn't see Peter in Peter's bedroom the next day with Mary."

Gwen turned her head to look at Hawk, her expression somewhat shocked.

"You mean... Aunt May hid it from us? Why?"

"Who knows."

Hawk shrugged.

Anyway, it was enough to confirm that his good friend Peter didn't go missing for no reason.

As for why Peter only called Aunt May but didn't call Mary, that was Peter's personal problem.

Hawk thought in his heart.

Seeing this, Gwen was too lazy to continue talking to Hawk and cast her gaze on Mary, who had walked to a window not far away and was talking to Peter on the satellite phone, her expression without any excitement or worry, only a calm face.

Don't know why.

She had a not-so-good premonition in her heart.

After a while.

Mary hung up the satellite phone, walked back with a calm face, returned the satellite phone in her hand to the old butler, and smiled slightly: "Thank you."

The old butler took the phone.

Mary then looked at Gwen: "Sorry, it was a false alarm. Peter didn't go missing. Let's go, Gwen."

Gwen looked at Mary's expression, wanting to say something, but in the end, she just nodded, got up from the sofa, said 'um', and said to the old butler: "Sorry to trouble you, thank you."

Seeing this, Hawk also stood up and said thank you to the old butler.

The old butler smiled and sent the three back to the door.

Not long after.

The yellow Toyota Corolla's engine roared, and with a 'swoosh', it had already driven out of the Osborne Manor.

On the way Hawk was driving toward Mary's house.

Mary, sitting in the back seat, told Hawk, who was driving, and Gwen, who was sitting beside her, the content of her conversation with Peter just now and why Peter had suddenly gone missing.

"Peter didn't suddenly go missing."

"It was Felicia."

"That day, Felicia called Peter and told him that while she was tidying up things at the manor, she found a videotape related to Richard Parker and Mary Parker, saying that she might have found the latest clue."

"That is, Peter's parents."

"After Peter heard this news, he rushed to the Osborne Manor at the first opportunity."

"..."

Gwen, who was listening to the side, frowned slightly: "Peter's parents... didn't they die in a plane crash when Peter was very young?"

Hawk, who was driving, glanced at Gwen through the rearview mirror: "That's what the reports said. The plane lost signal over the Pacific, but the wreckage of the plane was never found."

If it were in the real universe, even if the plane wreckage wasn't found, it could be 100% confirmed that they were victims.

The official side also defined it this way.

But...

This was the Marvel reality universe. Considering this point, as long as the bodies of Richard Parker and Mary Parker weren't confirmed, there was actually a high probability that the two were probably still alive.

Right.

When he was in the Underworld, he should have asked Mephisto.

Hawk's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and smiled in his heart.

Mary, sitting in the back seat, continued to talk about the plane crash of Richard Parker and Mary Parker back then after Hawk and Gwen's question and answer.

Back then, Richard Parker and Mary Parker were both working for Osborne.

And at that time, Norman Osborne wasn't so critically ill that he needed to be bedridden. Supporting the Parker couple's research on spider serum was actually initially developed to cure Osborne's unknown illness.

Although it was now proven that Osborne's condition wasn't any illness at all, but a curse from a hell witch on the entire Osborne family.

But the Parker couple and Norman Osborne himself didn't know that.

As a result...

The Parker couple accidentally let their own blood seep into the research of the spider serum, knowing the key to making the spider serum work, but at the same time, it also caused that spider to mutate.

Simply put.

A specific person for a specific spider. The serum of the spider that mutated and carried Parker's DNA fragments only worked on the Parker family, that is, Peter.

But for others, this wasn't serum, but poison.

After the Parker couple reported this to Norman Osborne, they hoped that Norman Osborne could provide the second spider, known as the Golden Spider.

Then they learned the source of this Golden Spider from Norman's mouth, so they temporarily fostered little Peter at Ben Parker and May Parker's house, and took Osborne's private plane overnight, intending to go to the place of origin to conduct research work.

As a result...

The plane crashed, and Richard Parker and Mary Parker never returned.

And Norman also stored that Golden Spider in the Osborne museum. After that, the story was very clear.

When Peter went to visit the Osborne museum, the long-forgotten mutated spider very coincidentally bit Peter, triggering the mutation.

"So..."

"Yeah, that videotape left behind the location coordinates of where that spider was discovered."

"Where?"

"Peter didn't say, saying this place was Osborne's trade secret."

"... Alright."

Gwen nodded after hearing this, not feeling strange about this answer, and then thought of Aunt May, asking curiously: "Then why didn't Aunt May tell us before, or when we went over?"

Mary shrugged and glanced at Gwen: "Maybe because I'm an outsider."

Gwen opened her mouth after hearing Mary's answer.

"Then you..."

"It's good that Peter is fine. Everything else is no longer important, right?"

Mary met Gwen's gaze, a brilliant smile appearing on her face as if she had made up her mind.

Gwen didn't speak.

Half an hour later.

Mary, who left the car, hugged Gwen and walked straight toward her own house on the right.

Hawk drove Gwen, who had sat back in the passenger seat, toward their home on Palm Street.

"Hawk."

"Yeah."
