Chapter 1067

Stark held the extra-large sandwich Shiler had just made, took a big bite, frowned deeply, and made a "woo-woo" sound in his mouth. It wasn't until Shiler handed him a cup of clear water that he picked up the water cup and poured it into his mouth violently. After a while, he swallowed the bread that had choked him.

Stark let out a long breath and said: "I really can't believe that the future of humanity was almost choked to death by a sandwich!"

Thor opened his big mouth and ate a sandwich in two bites. After eating, he wiped the salad dressing on his beard with paper, picked up the salad bowl that looked like a basin, and poured all the remaining half bowl of salad into his mouth.

Eddie sat on the sofa eating fried eggs. Behind him, Venom crossed the back of the sofa, seven or eight tentacles waving in unison, constantly stuffing chocolate balls into his mouth.

"He's like a worker on an assembly line, right?" Stark smiled and bumped Shiler's shoulder, looking at Venom and saying.

Shiler, who was stacking open-faced sandwiches, glanced at him and said: "Why do you seem to have extra time today? If it were in the past, you wouldn't stay here for even one more second..."

Before Stark could answer, Shiler took a bite of the crispy toasted bread and continued: "Let me guess, in two days, you should have argued with your father at least 30 times..."

Stark immediately widened his eyes, opened his mouth to refute, and Shiler looked at him and said: "And you didn't win most of them."

Stark showed a fake smile that didn't reach his eyes, bit the sandwich hard, and then said: "If it weren't for Maria and Obadiah standing on his side? Would I not be able to argue with him?"

"And, I'm a scientist, he's a businessman. He only cares about how much money a project earned. Even if it loses one dollar, he has to talk about it from the Industrial Revolution..."

Seemingly falling into some kind of painful memory, Stark put down the sandwich in his hand, appearing somewhat unable to eat, and said: "Now, I understand Steve even more. People of that era always have a sense of urgency to be calculating. Every part, every screw, has to be used sparingly."

Stark shook his head, poured a mouthful of beer into his mouth, and said: "The reason why Mark 142's progress is so slow is because I can't let Howard know that I threw in three quarters of Stark Industries' profits just to test the best ratio of molten steel and vibranium alloy..."

"In his view, the process from 95 points to 99 points is completely unnecessary. It's better to build several times more 95-point products with the same cost."

"Perhaps, he also once thought about pursuing 99 points." Shiler ate a leaf of vegetable and said: "It's just that there were too many things he had to consider in that era. If you two swapped positions, the one who would be extravagant now would be him."

Stark nodded slowly and didn't chat about this topic anymore. Shiler looked at the incomplete battle suit parts on him again and said: "Since every part of the battle suit has an automatic retrieval function, why did only the faceplate come back?"

"Uh... the automatic retrieval function isn't very perfect." Stark said somewhat awkwardly: "Parts generally fly back along the shortest path without obstacles, but some obstacles cannot be identified and might be hit. Later, I still have to fly around New York to pick these things up to prevent them from being picked up by ordinary people and bringing danger..."

"Then you should let Peter Parker go." Eddie scooped a spoonful of fried eggs, reached out to pull Venom back, telling him not to pull himself backward, and spoke: "In the past few days, he has had to patrol New York for at least 8 hours a day. No one knows the terrain of New York better than him."

"I hope he doesn't weave webs like last time." Shiler shook his head and said, "Unless he can eat the flying shuttle like a fly."

Several people laughed together. Chatting about the awkwardness of the younger generation, they were all very interested. Stark wiped his mouth with a napkin and said: "Peter is about to graduate. I want to attend his graduation ceremony, but I don't know in what capacity it's better to go..."

"He definitely doesn't want to expose your relationship with him." Eddie shook his head, looked at Stark, and said: "You'd better not say you know him either, otherwise Peter will be looked down upon by others."

Stark frowned. Just as he wanted to refute, Eddie said: "I'm not referring to your professional level, but your personal reputation."

"Listen, Tony, as a former gold-medal reporter, I can responsibly tell you that if you don't cover it up and go to attend Peter Parker's graduation ceremony, the next day, the front-page headline of all the gossip newspapers in New York will be, 'The Story of Genius Researcher Parker and His Sugar Daddy Stark'..."

Stark was choked, coughed twice, wiped away the flying spit from the corner of his mouth with some disgust, and under Shiler's laughter, he stretched out his hand to explain: "First of all, I am a firm heterosexual. Secondly, the achievements Peter has made now all rely on himself and have nothing to do with me."

"The inventions Peter made using the resources of the Stark laboratory all signed profit-sharing contracts with the Stark Group. The profits he brought me are much more than the support I provided him."

"Just the invention patent on the flying shuttle project, if converted into cash, would be enough for him and his family to eat and drink without worry for a lifetime. But Peter doesn't seek returns at all, so I want to support him."

"I advise you not to do this." Shiler shook his head and said: "Unless you want to compete with old Osborn at New York University."

Stark covered his forehead with his hand and said: "How could I forget him? That damn old fox almost tricked Peter into doing human experiments. I haven't settled the score with him yet!"

Just as he said this, only hearing a "bang," the glass of the balcony was smashed into pieces. Spider-Man rushed in directly, and then, completely ignoring the house full of people eating in the living room, he hurriedly pulled the balcony curtain, stood in the original place, and took a long breath.

He turned around slowly and then said: "Venom, are you there? Sorry, I broke your glass, I will pay for it, but now, let me hide..."

He just turned around, widened his eyes, and stood in the original place. Then, looking at the four people sitting in the room, he gave a dry laugh twice and said: "Good morning, gentlemen. That, I just broke in by mistake, broke in by mistake, I'll leave now..."

After speaking, he wanted to sneak past from the side. Shiler and Stark cleared their throats at the same time. Spider-Man sighed dejectedly and said: "Alright, I shouldn't have broken in so rudely, and also broke Mr. Eddie's glass, but I will pay for it!"

"What are you hiding from?" Shiler asked somewhat puzzledly.

Spider-Man hesitated for a moment, revealing a kind of tangled temperament very rarely, and even directly took an unopened ice beer from the tabletop, lifted his mask, and poured it into his mouth.

Stark widened his eyes, as if he didn't recognize Spider-Man, staring at his chin. Spider-Man was choked by the alcohol and coughed twice, simply taking off his mask directly, throwing it to the side, sitting next to Eddie, and saying: "George... oh, that is, Gwen's father, he has his eyes on me."

Peter sighed and said: "Gwen almost let it slip once, causing George's suspicion. We both know that we can't let George know that I am Spider-Man, otherwise, he will absolutely not agree to his daughter being with me!"

"In order to get rid of suspicion, I have to divide into two identities, creating alibis for each other."

"For example, when going to Gwen's house for dinner, use the gap of going to the bathroom to put on the uniform, go to the front of the newspaper office to shake around, and then rush back, or when George the Sheriff sees Spider-Man, go on a date with Gwen, just bumping into their neighbor..."

Thor laughed, then covered his mouth. Facing Peter's somewhat resentful gaze, he cleared his throat and said: "Are you really planning to hide it from your father-in-law for a lifetime?"

Peter sighed deeply again, but still looked at Shiler and asked: "Doctor, is there breakfast for me? I just rushed over from near the police station and haven't had time to eat yet."

Shiler stood up, walked to the side of the island counter, and said: "There are no fried eggs or cold dishes left. I'll make you a sandwich, let me see..."

Shiler sorted out the ingredients on the table and said: "There is no chicken breast, only chicken leg meat. Do you want to remove the skin? There is also a portion of broccoli, a portion of kale, a portion of peas..."

"Put them all in, thank you, give me more bread, I'm very hungry." Peter covered his stomach and said: "These past few days, I haven't had time to eat, relying entirely on the nutritional solution of the Stark Group to fill my stomach. This job is really not something a human does."

As the sandwich was brought over, Peter sighed and said: "Originally, Gwen and I both wanted to tell George this fact the first time I went to the Stacy house for dinner."

"But, the first time I went to their house, George recognized me directly. He asked me if I was the outstanding young scientist mentioned in the newspaper? He also asked me if I got a full scholarship and an excellent graduate award? Even, I got internship spots from several major groups in advance, and published more than 10 papers with major results..."

Thor looked at him curiously and asked: "So, are you?"

"I am, of course, and those reports are not comprehensive... Forget it, this is not important. In short, George's first impression of me was too good." Peter reached out and covered his face, saying: "The tone at the beginning was set too high, so that I couldn't open my mouth to say I was Spider-Man, especially when he scolded Spider-Man for destroying the New York environment in front of Gwen and me..."

"When did you destroy the New York environment? Oh, that is, the web-weaving incident last time, right? That can't be helped, it can indeed be said to be one of Spider-Man's black spots."

"It's worse than that." Peter even laughed. He said with a bit of absurdity in his tone: "That was what the first-generation Spider-Man did, and I am now the third-generation Spider-Man. The reputation of the third-generation Spider-Man is even worse!"

Several people laughed together. Thor reached out and patted Peter on the shoulder and said: "If you say you once died and came back to life, he will even more not agree to you and his daughter..."

"Don't mention it." Peter sniffed, bit the sandwich hard, chewed it with bulging cheeks, but soon, Thor's expression stiffened again, as if he remembered something, looked at Stark and asked: "Tony, how did you explain Helen to your parents?"

"Um..." Stark hesitated and said: "You have to know, it's not very possible to hide it from Howard and Maria. Helen doesn't look much like me, but she looks exactly like Loki..."

However, subsequently, he immediately added: "But it's also good that she doesn't look like me. Otherwise, just by relying on those paparazzi who are everywhere, Helen's reputation would be terrible..."

Thor narrowed his eyes and said: "You wouldn't have told them that Helen is your illegitimate daughter, would you? Tony Stark, I warn you, Loki is the Prince of Asgard, uh... sometimes also a princess, this is not important, but you absolutely cannot let Helen have a dishonorable identity, otherwise Asgard will also be humiliated!"

"I know, I know..." Stark appeased: "But you have to give me some time. People of their era find it very difficult to accept so-called 'gender fluidity'..."

"Can't you just tell the truth?" Shiler said with a smile. Stark turned his head and glared at him, saying: "How can I tell the truth?? Say Helen was created by you? You're not as good as Loki, you don't even have gender fluidity!"

Shiler smiled and didn't speak, lowering his head to finish the salad on the plate. Thor snorted unhappily and said: "If you have masculinity, you should be brave enough to take responsibility. Loki is a very excellent god, and he is also very popular in Asgard..."

Just as he said this, the only glass door left of the three balcony doors was knocked. Thor turned his head and saw Loki standing outside the door, smiling at him.
