I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

Was it really just a nightmare?

Or does it represent some kind of omen?

Gwen took a breath.

She suddenly remembered what her father had once said: Fate is like a giant roller coaster.

Everyone was firmly strapped to their seats, and no one was allowed to get off the bus early.

People experience peaks and valleys, sharp turns and long straight lines; they scream, feel tense, and fearful, but the final outcome is always a slow journey to the finish line.

Fate determines everything we experience; the hand of fate governs all things in the world.

Gwen felt Peter's touch, looked up at him and said, "I've noticed I've been overthinking things lately, Peter."

"About what?"

Peter looked down at her and asked.

"Fate, death, and the like—I've been evolving in the direction of a philosopher lately."

"Hmm, that means when you said you were a weird girl, you weren't just being modest."

Peter pretended to be thinking seriously.

"We're both quirky, so we're a perfect match."

Gwen wasn't angry; instead, she narrowed her eyes and said...

"Peter, I need your help."

Gwen then said.

"You're too rough?"

"No, it's perfect. Can you stay with me forever? I mean, in the name of Spider-Man, we'll fight together and never be apart."

"Isn't it now?"

Peter felt that Gwen had recently evolved into a clingy girlfriend rather than a philosopher.

After all, aside from eating and rock music, Gwen shouldn't have anything to do with philosophy.

Now she's starting to evolve into a teenage girlfriend.

"Of course, I mean we should always plan ahead, after all, things like fate might change in the future."

Gwen also felt like she wasn't herself anymore.

"Cough cough."

Gwen coughed and got out of bed to kiss Peter's chin.

After getting up, Gwen walked outside.

My forehead hurts a little even if I just move my mouth.

However, she still thought it was good.

noon.

Stark Tower.

The stunning Helen stood at the front desk, adjusting her sunglasses.

After giving her name to the receptionist, she entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 22nd floor, following the address provided to her.

Although he was somewhat unhappy that Peter had taken it upon himself to send him into this so-called expedition.

But since she was already interested in the copper mine, she ultimately did not refuse.

After Kingpin's death, the resources he left behind were coveted by many.

She put in a lot of effort to deal with these guys.

She pressed her throbbing forehead, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Is this guy just hanging out with his girlfriend and trying to be a hands-off husband?

"Buzz!"

As she stepped out of the elevator, an inconspicuous bee followed her for a short distance before disappearing into the ventilation duct.

Helen took out her phone and found that Peter had sent her a text message.

"how are things going?"

"Aren't you spying on me?"

She glanced at the ventilation duct opening and texted back.

"It's not surveillance; the purpose is to ensure your safety."

Peter replied to the other person from inside the classroom.

"I don't believe you would be so kind."

After Helen pushed open the conference room door, she found several of her acquaintances inside.

Last time at Bear Hill State Park, when I was standing on Peter's side, the Vampire Princess, the Daywalker, and others who were standing opposite her were sitting in the conference room.

There was another guy who looked very familiar.

Helen thought he was a bit like the werewolf who had almost been killed by the Queen last time.

Upon seeing Helen's appearance, the vampire princess's face showed a look of astonishment.

She never expected that Tony Stark would invite this woman!

The vampire princess, wearing a yellow trench coat that concealed her graceful figure, stood up and looked at Helen.

"It's you? Spider-Man's henchman!"

"No, I'm not his subordinate; we're just business partners."

Helen would naturally not admit that she was Spider-Man's henchman.

Do you think I was that weak in other people's eyes when I beat that bastard so badly that he had to run away in a sorry state?

The vampire princess's feelings for Helen were not merely due to mutual dislike between two beautiful women.

She also sensed a strong demonic aura emanating from this woman.

"Really? Then why didn't Spider-Man come?"

The vampire princess unleashed her aura upon Helen, "Or is it that he's afraid to show his face because of what happened to Xiongshan?"

"Perhaps you should ask him yourself. I think he wouldn't hesitate to explain it to a beautiful woman like you."

As Helen spoke, she looked around at everyone in the conference room.

Aside from the vampire princess, the daywalker, and the guy who looks like a werewolf, the rest should all be mutants.

You know, mutants aren't having an easy time these days; they're practically rats that everyone wants to kill.

Tony Stark's ability to find this group suggests he has considerable influence.

Seeing Helen's nonchalant attitude, the vampire princess's anger flared instantly.

As a hunter who hunts dark creatures, not directly taking action was already quite restrained.

This woman acted as if she didn't respect him at all.

“Very good. If you tell me his address, I will go find him, and that alien creature.”

The vampire princess says she's looking to cause trouble for Spider-Man.

Although this guy doesn't appear in New York City often, he's incredibly famous.

Even the Spider Woman, who frequently fights criminals, is not as famous as him.

She's always wanted to find Spider-Man, but this guy doesn't seem to be so easy to find.

His fame stems from his mystique; no one knows his identity or whereabouts.

Helen sat down, ignoring the stares from the crowd, and said, "I will tell him your request, but the exact time will depend on my mood."

Just as the vampire princess was about to continue her "debate," the conference room door was pushed open, and Tony Stark walked in.

Chapter 163 The Mischievous Boy and the Black Cat

Tony Stark greeted everyone: "Although Christmas isn't here yet, the festive atmosphere is quite nice."

He glanced at the vampire princess and Helen.

He was somewhat surprised when he saw Helen's appearance.

I thought the vampire princess was already stunning enough, but the woman Spider-Man recommended was surprisingly just as beautiful.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Tony Stark, and I am also the leader of this expedition."

Tony looked at everyone present and introduced himself.

"If you have any concerns about this mine tunnel exploration, especially regarding the dangers, you may withdraw in advance. As for your payment, we will pay you half of the agreed amount."

The woman who was Tony's secretary took over and explained to everyone.

The attendees exchanged glances, and no one offered to leave.

"very good."

Tony Stark tapped the table with the tip of his pen and said to his secretary, "We can begin, Daniel."

The female secretary nodded and began playing the projector screen in the conference room.

The projector continuously projected various images.

Accompanied by the female secretary's explanation.

“There seems to be a wealth of historical accounts here, and we are fortunate to have found a building containing a lot of relevant information among the intricate stone buildings on the ground.”

The images show various strange stone buildings.

“These stone houses were built very late. Although a crack adjacent to them has caused some damage to the walls, many murals that could no longer be made with the techniques are still preserved here.”

“These sculptures tell a history that seems to be unknown to us, a history that predates even the beginning of all the time we know.”
