Chapter 1530

In the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, Peter, who was preparing to go to Mary Jane's film crew with the other two, was now facing a very awkward problem—if according to the original plan, one person goes to distract Mary Jane, and the other two go to the film crew to investigate, then who goes to act alone?

According to common sense, of course, it should be Mary Jane's boyfriend Harry who goes to distract her. The excuse is also easy to find, such as seeing her working hard and coming over to give her a surprise. It's very easy to lead Mary Jane to another place, and then let the two Spider-Men enter the film crew to investigate suspicious people.

But the problem is, if Harry leaves, and middle-aged Peter and Peter stay together, middle-aged Peter will definitely ask Peter what the purpose of this plan is.

How should Peter explain to him that this plan is actually to help the little Green Goblin win back the person who is your wife in another universe?

Then if Peter and Harry stay, he will also face the same problem. Harry will definitely ask him what's going on with this Peter from another universe who suddenly appeared. Then it will be inevitable to talk about middle-aged Peter Parker's life experience—he married Mary Jane, divorced, and married again, and has a cute little daughter.

And if Peter leaves by himself, leaving Harry and middle-aged Peter together, Peter can't imagine what will happen next.

Peter knows very well that Harry's feelings for Mary Jane are not quite the same as his for Gwen. Peter hopes that no matter whether he exists or not, Gwen can live well, and Gwen thinks so too.

But Harry has a strong possessiveness for Mary Jane, which might be the emotional style inherited by the Osborn family. But Mary Jane is a person who pursues independence very much, feeling that feelings should not occupy private space. The two of them have often argued about this.

So Peter is not sure how Harry will react after knowing the story that happened in another universe. He decided to try his best not to let Harry know, and not to let himself face such an awkward problem.

Soon, they arrived at a real-scene building site set up specifically for filming movies in Hollywood. This time, Mary Jane is starring in an urban romantic comedy. Most of the scenes are filmed in this building. When the three arrived, the film crew had already started working. There were field staff and assistants everywhere. From the outside, no suspicious people were found.

Arriving outside the film crew, the three started discussing the division of labor. Harry took the lead and said: "I can use visiting the set as an excuse to lead Mary away..."

"No." Peter interrupted him directly and said: "I know Mary. She is very disgusted by people disturbing her when she is working. What you give her is likely not a surprise, but a fright."

"Then what do you say we do?" Harry spread his hands and asked.

"We don't actually need to lead Mary away. The three of us can sneak in separately to search for suspicious people in the area, as long as we avoid the place where Mary is. This efficiency is even higher."

After discussing for a long time, the other two couldn't beat Peter, so they planned to sneak in separately. Harry and middle-aged Peter were responsible for the left and right sides of the theater periphery, and Peter was responsible for the center position.

Because it was an infiltration mission, in order not to be overly conspicuous, several people didn't wear uniforms. Peter quickly got the field staff's armband from a box held by a passing assistant, successfully mixed into the film crew, and walked toward the designated position.

But just at this moment, the phone in Peter's pocket rang. He answered the phone and said to the other side: "Hello? Oh, Shadow Spider-Man, what's the matter?"

"Jonah Jameson, are you talking about that Daily Bugle boss? No, I'm not familiar with him, and I haven't worked there... In your universe, you once worked there? What happened to him?"

"Nick asked you to perform a mission, what? You want to kill Jameson, no, no, absolutely not!... Ah, yes, he did publish some reports about Spider-Man, but that doesn't count as smearing. I did do some stupid things when I first debuted..."

"You found that he colluded with an organization that deliberately smeared me? I think this is impossible, Shadow Spider-Man. I don't know what Jameson is like in your universe, but I remember that the Daily Bugle published clarification articles against some reports smearing Spider-Man before. Jameson doesn't like Spider-Man, but he is a media person who seeks truth from facts."

"The one in your universe is also like that? That's really great... So you just want to confirm whether the Jameson in this universe is a good person? I can answer you, of course he is, so you can't kill him."

Peter just wanted to hang up the phone when he seemed to remember something and said: "You mentioned that he might have colluded with those who organized to smear me... I think there might be some misunderstanding here. Perhaps someone wants to frame him."

"Shadow Spider-Man, can you help me leave a note for Mr. Jameson, asking him to leave New York recently? I'm very worried that he will be involved in trouble. After all, he is one of the few editors-in-chief in New York who still has a conscience..."

Shadow Spider-Man said something on the other end of the phone. Peter lowered his head and sighed, saying: "Actually, I know it all. It's just that I think there's no need to care about them. That's it, goodbye."

Soon, Peter arrived at the target position. He stood on the roof of the building next to it and looked into the window, just in time to see Mary Jane finish filming a scene, taking a coat from her assistant, and walking downstairs.

From Peter's angle, he could see Mary Jane and the assistant walk into the elevator and press the button for the ground floor. But when Peter cast his gaze to the ground floor, he found that the elevator that should have been lit and opened didn't stop on the ground floor, and Mary Jane didn't come out.

Silently estimating the time for the elevator to go up and down in his heart, Peter instinctively felt something was wrong. Mary Jane clearly pressed the button for the ground floor, but according to the elevator's running time, she might have already reached the third basement level by now.

Unable to use spider silk, Peter could only run down the building like an ordinary person, but he knew time must be too late, so he ran while taking out his phone to call Harry, saying: "Hurry to the third basement parking lot. Someone tampered with the elevator circuit and brought Mary there. It's very likely to be the person your father sent!"

Harry gritted his teeth and hung up the phone, running toward the entrance of the underground parking lot at high speed. He should have thought of it long ago. For a helpless female star, the Osborn family, who has always been tough, would not use such a gentle method, let alone sit down and talk to her. It was mostly intimidation and threats.

When Harry rushed into the underground parking lot, he found that this was not actually a real parking lot, but also part of the studio. There would only be lighting facilities when there was a film crew, and now it was pitch black, without even emergency indicator lights.

He could only run forward in a panic in the darkness, using the faint light of his mobile phone flashlight to find traces that might exist. After not too long, he heard a woman's angry roar.

"Are you trying to kidnap me?! I have the next scene in ten minutes. If I don't appear, the film crew will definitely call the police! By then you will be dead!"

"Miss Watson, please calm down, we..."

"Mary! Mary!" Harry shouted loudly immediately, and then ran quickly toward the direction the sound came from.

Harry rushed to Mary Jane's side and said to the few people opposite her: "Get out of here, disappear from my sight immediately!"

The others were also surprised to see him appear here, but Mary Jane was even more surprised than them. She turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and glared at Harry, saying: "Why are you appearing here? What the hell is going on?!"

"Mary, calm down, listen to my explanation..."

"These people broke the elevator and kidnapped me here, and I have now missed the time for makeup, which might delay the next scene. The whole film crew has to wait for me. I'm just a Hollywood newcomer, this might ruin my acting path!"

Mary Jane was a bit broken. She took out her phone with trembling hands, looked at the few people opposite, and said: "No matter why you came here, I will make you pay the price. I'm calling the police now!"

"Wait a minute, Mary." Harry reached out to stop her and said: "They didn't want to hurt you, the matter is like this..."

"Didn't want to hurt me?!" Mary screamed. She started trembling all over, obviously having received some stimulation. She pointed to the elevator and shouted: "They hijacked the elevator and cut off the power to the lighting device, leaving me trapped in the dark elevator for a full three minutes. At that time, I thought I would die here!"

Harry reached out to hug Mary Jane, but Mary Jane pushed him away. She stared at Harry coldly and said: "They know you, I can tell—they didn't dare to speak as soon as you appeared!"

"Harry Osborn, what exactly do you want to do?!" Mary stared at Harry in disbelief and said: "You don't want me to come to Hollywood to film, don't want me to show my face outside, so you used such despicable means to intimidate me! Are you my boyfriend, or a damn kidnapper?!"

"It's not like that, Mary. It's my father who opposes us, so he sent someone to..."

"Your father, your father, your father, little Osborn, when exactly will you be able to wean yourself?! Who exactly am I dating?!"

Many people will show tendencies of anger and violence after a sudden fright, which is actually a self-protection mechanism of humans, used to avoid the powerlessness brought after the fright, thereby increasing the chance of escape. Mary was obviously one of them, and she kept venting her anger with words.

"I wanted to stop them." Harry defended: "I came here to protect you..."

"If you really wanted to protect me, you wouldn't have let them appear here at all!" Mary Jane pushed Harry away again and said: "It's precisely because you are indecisive time and time again that your father dares to push further. Now it has developed to kidnapping me, just because you actually agree with your father's set of 'virtuous wife and good mother' arguments in your heart. That's why you don't want me to come to Hollywood to work, and don't want me to earn money by filming."

"You Osborns are all the same!" Mary sneered at Harry and said: "It's just that your father wants you to find a ready-made obedient girl, and you want to turn me into an obedient girl."

"And me, I will give you the middle finger, and then tell you, go to hell with the obedient girl!"

Mary picked up her handbag from the ground next to her, swung it on Harry's shoulder to beat him back, stood in front of him, looked into his eyes, and said: "Harry Osborn, we are finished!"

After finishing, Mary Jane walked away quickly in her high heels. And just behind the pillar in the parking lot she passed, another somewhat thin, bearded figure watched her departing back and sighed deeply.

The small figure in his arms grabbed his arm and shook it, using a vague tone to say: "Mom... Mom..."

And that figure gave a light "Shh", signaling the little red-haired girl in his arms not to make a sound, and then he stood in place, watching Harry, who was dejected, walk out of the parking lot, his slightly tired face swallowed by the shadows behind the pillar.

After a while, he heard Peter's guilty voice coming from the entrance of the parking lot.

"This is all my fault. If we had followed the original plan and sent one person to find Mary, perhaps she wouldn't have been frightened in the elevator."

"So why exactly did you insist on letting the three of us go separately, Peter? This doesn't look like your usual plan style." Harry's tone was full of confusion.

And at this time, another voice sounded behind them.

"I think it's because, in another universe, Mary Jane is Mayday's mother, my wife."
