Marvel's Spider-Man: Web of Fate

daughter?

In any case, if he could build a slightly better relationship with this person, he might be able to get the information he wanted about the second-generation Venom symbiote from Bill Foster without resorting to force.

He's not a psychopath. If he can achieve his goal peacefully, why use his fists?

Moreover, the answers obtained through force are not necessarily all correct, and it will take some effort to verify them later.

"Help? I don't need your pity!" The white figure seemed to be provoked by Peter's words, suddenly becoming agitated, shouting and rushing towards Peter.

As she rushed over, her figure suddenly blurred several times, as if she had disappeared from the world in those few moments.

Peter was very surprised.

First, we can rule out that this is a spell similar to [Astral Projection].

Therefore, there is only one other possibility: this is a change in her body caused by some reason.

Could it be due to the instability of the molecular structure?

Living organisms are made up of individual organic molecules stacked together. If, for some reason, these organic molecules become unstable and intermittent, then the effect we see now would be quite similar.

"Friday, help me look up information about this person in front of me," Peter said to Friday, who was helping him via voice chat, as he casually dodged the other party's attacks.

Karen can't find out about this; only Friday, who has full access to Stark Industries and the Avengers' database, can find out quickly and accurately.

As for the attack from the person in front of him, it posed no threat to Peter whatsoever.

Her unique, shimmering but not sparkly movement technique was indeed quite intimidating to ordinary people.

After all, it's hard for the average person to predict where she'll suddenly appear and attack you.

But for Peter, who possesses spider-sense, her actions were completely unnecessary.

Because he discovered a major weakness in the other party.

That is, although she can enter a phantom state while moving, she must enter a physical state if she wants to attack.

Only physical entities can attack physical entities!

Unless she is a mage who can manipulate special dimensional energy or elements that already exist in reality to attack.

Otherwise, this is unavoidable.

Once she enters the physical realm, Peter can grab her in that instant!

They even killed her!

Peter simply didn't do that.

With his keen spider-sense and agile movements, Peter moved around the small underground laboratory as if taking a leisurely stroll, despite the white figure's continuous attacks.

He would walk over to the computer, fiddling with the mouse and quickly glancing at the screen; then he'd go over to the strange device that looked like a shrinking tunnel from Doraemon and start tinkering with it; then he'd suddenly appear behind the white figure that had materialized to attack him, tap her on the shoulder, and reveal a row of white teeth as she turned around in fright.

The white figure was completely outmaneuvered by Peter throughout.

But she doesn't seem to have noticed this.

Or perhaps they simply don't care about that.

She seemed to have entered some kind of mentally unstable state, and appeared quite frantic.

Or could it be impotent rage?

But Peter ignored her.

As he moved through the underground laboratory, Peter scanned the instruments and some experimental data into Friday's system using the scanner on his tactical wristband.

At this point, Friday finally responded.

“Mr. Parker, we’ve found the relevant records.”

"Ava Starr, codename Ghost Agent, is the daughter of Elijah Starr."

“Elysius Starr was once Hank Pym’s experimental assistant, but was later fired from the experiment by Hank Pym due to some experimental problems.”

"After being fired by Hank Pym, Elysius Starr did not give up his research. He secretly conducted independent research on quantum experiments, but accidentally caused an explosion. In the accident, Elysius Starr and his wife were killed on the spot, and his daughter Ava Starr's body was also affected by radiation, becoming a state of extreme molecular instability."

"After that, S.H.I.E.L.D. found Ava Starr, made her a suppression suit, and trained her to be an invisibility agent, codenamed 'Ghost'."

"After the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., Ghost Agent Ava Starr took advantage of the chaos to sever ties with S.H.I.E.L.D. and disappeared without a trace."

"In addition, I found an adoption certificate that, legally speaking, Bill Foster is Ava Starr's adoptive father, and this status is legally valid."

With each report on Friday, Peter finally understood the identity of the person in front of him.

It seems that after the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., Bill Foster took her in and likely used his status as a former S.H.I.E.L.D. employee to erase some of the traces left behind.

So, Bill Foster's years of painstaking efforts to raise funds, purchase equipment, and build instruments for quantum experiments were all for the purpose of curing his adopted daughter, Ava Starr!

Peter realized that he might have wronged Dr. Foster.

Even if he may have indeed plagiarized Hank Pym's research, he did not use it to profit himself, but rather to save his daughter.

This is not a bad behavior; on the contrary, it is something to be praised.

Dr. Foster is a good man!

Chapter 160 Boss

"Ava!"

Just as Peter was walking Ghost Woman around the lab, a somewhat familiar voice came from the doorway.

Bill Foster is back!

Bill Foster's face darkened when he saw Spider-Man appear in his underground laboratory.

"Spider-Man, why are you in my lab? Unauthorized entry is trespassing!"

“I’m sorry, Dr. Foster,” Peter said, leaping lightly onto the ceiling, out of Ghost Woman’s reach and in a better position to talk to Dr. Foster. “I came to find you, but you weren’t here, so I had no choice but to resort to this. I hope you will understand.”

"What are you doing in my lab?" Bill Foster walked into the lab, went to his computer desk, and quietly reached for a cabinet.

There was a pistol in the cabinet, which he used for self-defense.

When he saw Spider-Man appear, he had already prepared for the worst. He thought that what he was doing had been exposed, which was why Spider-Man came looking for him.

After all, who doesn't know that Spider-Man is a member of the Avengers these days!

Moreover, they are members highly valued by Iron Man!

Peter ignored Bill Foster's subtle actions; he had known all along that there was a small pistol lying around in the lab after wandering around so many times.

But this thing, from seven steps away, he can dodge as many as he comes, and within seven steps, he can subdue the opponent the instant they fire a shot.

Therefore, there is absolutely no threat.

Peter stood upside down on the ceiling with his feet pressed against it, and said, "Actually, it's about that previous research. I wanted to ask you, Doctor, if there's anything you can add."

“I’ve already told you everything I needed to say before I left,” Bill Foster said, his eyes narrowing slightly, his already chubby face turning into a blob.

Peter shook his head slightly: "Let me put it this way, Dr. Foster is building this quantum experiment machine here for this Miss Ava, right? If you can tell me all your research findings, I don't mind investing more in you."

"You have money?" Bill Foster retorted.

“Of course,” Peter said smugly. “While I’m not as rich as Iron Man, if it’s just tens of millions in liquid assets, I can come up with that right away. As for hundreds of millions, give me a few days, and I can get it out for you too. How about it?”

Bill Foster was clearly very interested.

Doing scientific research is the most expensive thing.

Especially for someone like him who doesn't have any special status.

Many of the components in the equipment for quantum experiments are very expensive.

But what he wanted to do was something quite groundbreaking, and acquiring it wasn't just a matter of money, but also about finding the right channels.

The same item, if bought by someone like Tony Stark, might only cost the original price.

But for someone like him, the only option is the black market. And the prices on the black market are only two or three times higher than usual, which is considered merciful. Some rare items can easily be seven, eight, or even ten times more expensive.

There's also a chance of buying something with quality defects.

You might ask, why was Hank Pym able to complete this experiment decades ago?

That's because Hank Pym was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., which meant he had an entire country backing him!

What can't you get?

Bill Foster, on the other hand, could only rely on hand-crafting; if he couldn't make it by hand, he would slowly accumulate it.

If he can really cooperate with Spider-Man, then it would be equivalent to going through the Avengers' channels.

The leader of the Avengers is Iron Man, and it's Stark Industries!

With funding and distribution channels all in place at once!

but

Bill Foster frowned.

Although more than a year has passed since the Sokovia Accords controversy, he still keeps it in mind.

Strictly speaking, his adopted daughter Ava is also within the scope of the agreement.

Whether she acquired her abilities actively or passively, she is a superhuman.
