"What can't you stand? My coffee?"

Uncle Ben thought he was being talked about, so he coughed and put the coffee on the table. "Trust me, darling, I know this tastes awful, but I've been used to this flavor for 42 years. Maybe after a while, it'll taste alright."

"If the coastline dries up, I'll make some for you using my secret recipe."

Uncle Ben was interrupted by Aunt Mei before he could finish speaking.

"Ben, we're talking about Peter."

Aunt May glared at Uncle Ben with displeasure. "Peter didn't come home last night, and he's back very late again this time. What am I going to do if he picks up bad habits like a naughty boy?"

Peter, sitting on the sofa, accepted Aunt May's criticism without arguing back.

If she were in an ordinary high school, Aunt Mei wouldn't be wrong to think that way.

After all, her starting point was to care about her nephew's growth.

Uncle Ben glanced at Peter, pondered for a moment, and then put down his coffee.

I know why.

Uncle Ben suddenly spoke to the two of them.

Peter looked up at Uncle Ben in surprise.

Uncle Ben knows the reason?!

Aunt Mei was also stunned. "What?"

"I mean I know the reason, the reason is that Peter fell in love."

Uncle Ben smiled at Peter and said to Aunt May, "Young men always like to chase after what they like and get obsessed with it; that's normal."

Aunt Mei thought about it and felt that it made some sense.

She asked her husband, "Are you sure?"

"Of course, Peter told me that he fell in love with a girl's freedom and unconventionality, and he fell in love with fantasy."

Uncle Ben said something that left Peter speechless.

Did you say that yourself?

Is it really okay for Uncle Ben to make up such sweet nothings for himself?

"You mean Peter is often coming home late because he's having an affair with Gwen?"

Aunt May was clearly influenced; she began to take an interest in Peter's love life.

"It's because of Gwyneth."

Uncle Ben coughed awkwardly and then said.

Peter fell silent upon hearing the name.

He thought Uncle Ben was going to say Spider Woman directly!

After all, the person being described doesn't seem like Gwen, but rather like Spider-Woman.

Do I like Gwen's freedom and unconventionality?

Did I fall in love with the fantasy surrounding Gwen?

Where did Uncle Ben get that idea?!

“I told you Peter, there are some things you can’t do, and you’re not allowed to stay out overnight, even though I support you and Gwyneth.”

After Aunt May learned that Peter was on a date, she didn't ask any further questions.

After all, she still quite liked Gwen.

But she still hoped that Peter could learn some restraint.

"of course."

Peter promised Aunt May.

After he went upstairs, his phone suddenly received a call from Helen.

"Peter, I've found it!"

"What was found?"

Chapter 135 Peter's Perverse Interest

Helen said to Peter with dissatisfaction.

"No, I'm just concerned about my lottery ticket."

Peter assumed the caller was calling to tell him about the lottery.

"You're too impatient; there's still one day until the draw."

Helen's languid voice came from the other end of the phone, "Or are you just itching to daydream about claiming your multi-million dollar prize?"

"It seems you still don't trust me, Teacher Helen."

"You are not a trustworthy person to begin with."

Helen wasn't buying Peter's act. "You're hiding so many secrets. I suspect that every word you say is oscillating between truth and falsehood."

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Although I didn't go to Scotland to investigate the mural you described, I made an unexpected discovery elsewhere."

Peter asked, quite surprised, "Where?"

The story of the Space Knight is just a figment of his imagination; does it really exist in this world?!

"Wallen Mining Company discovered an open-pit copper mine, and beneath it, they found an underground ruin that seems to hold many secrets, especially regarding the origins of the 'Queen'."

Peter frowned and asked her, "How do you know all this?"

"I always manage to get my own intelligence."

Helen paused for a moment before continuing to Peter, "Valen Mining Company is cooperating with Stark Industries. You might need to be careful about those Stark businessmen; they always treat the territory they occupy as their own domain."

"I mean if you try to get into that underground world."

Helen seemed convinced that Peter would be interested in this underground world.

"thanks for your reminder."

After hanging up the phone, Peter sat down at his desk and gazed out at the dark night.

The many mysteries and unknowns hidden in the darkness seemed to rush towards him all at once.

He opened his laptop and typed "Wallen Mining" into the search engine.

A link to the Warren Mining Group appeared immediately on the webpage.

A recent news item is that Tony Stark is acquiring shares in Warren Mining Group, preparing to take over this largest mining group in the United States.

Tony Stark must know about the underground ruins, right?

He continued scrolling down through the news articles.

News reports say that Tony Stark was attacked at the airport because he was rushing to California to attend a board meeting of the Warren Mining Corporation and made a last-minute decision to take a passenger plane, which gave the terrorists the opportunity to attack.

"Ding!"

While he was browsing the news, his computer notified him that an email had been sent to his inbox.

Peter opened his email and found it was from Mr. Fantastic Reed.

As he read the contents, his brows gradually furrowed.

This brat wants to borrow money from me.

Borrow money?!

Do I look like a wealthy person?!

Reed pulled a thorn out of his hand.

A raised white bump appeared on his hand.

As for why this terrible thing happened, it was because he was stung by a wasp that morning.

It was a beautiful gem wasp.

In the back garden, he suddenly noticed something furry wriggling gently on the waistband of his jumpsuit.

Startled, he couldn't help but scream: "Bees! Bees! Honeybees!"

He jumped back, tripped over the same protruding rock that had tripped him earlier, and fell heavily to the ground. With pain, surprise, and fear, he discovered the gem bee in his pocket.

Just as he felt he was going crazy, the gem wasp landed on his hand and bit him viciously.

This was the terrible accident that happened to him.

"The stinger must be removed."

Reed felt his luck was really bad. "The proper way is to remove the stinger and then apply some baking soda, and the bump will go away, but the bad thing is that I'm allergic to baking soda."

Just as he was looking worried, his gaze happened to fall on a patch of darkness outside the window.

Those seemed to be a pair of eerie green eyes, exuding a chilling aura.

The startled child almost fell off the chair.

He stood up in disbelief, stumbled backward, and finally leaned against the wall.

With heavy breathing, he felt as if he were in a cold cave.

That looks like the creature I saw on the news before, the one that killed werewolves in Bear Mountain!

It has a terrifying appearance, its whole body is covered with a murderous aura, like a creature surrounded by death, the kind that you won't forget after seeing it for the first time.

If this creature were to invade your room now.

He had no doubt that he would be torn to pieces by this creature.

His breathing became increasingly heavy, and he tried to take out his phone to call the police, but found that his hands and feet were frozen.

Just when he thought he was about to be eaten by that creature, there was a knock on the window.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
