He's Spider-Man in Marvel, but he insists I'm Superman.

Unbeknownst to them, Kingpin had already turned around, grabbed the newspaper that Mrs. Gao had thrown at him, and glanced at it casually.

On the newspaper, a towering figure floated on the river, holding a small private car, and seemed to be rising rapidly.

And above, there's also the name the media gave him—Super Spider-Man!

"That's right. According to our investigation, yesterday was not the first time he appeared in New York City. He appeared in the New York City night the night before last, which was also the night the particle collider went missing."

Madam Gao slowly began to speak, recounting the information she had gathered during her investigation.

"So, you've concluded that the particle collider components are in his possession?"

Kingpin raised his head, his gaze, imbued with the authority of a superior, fixed directly on Madam Gao.

"No, although he stole the parts of the particle collider, they are not currently in his hands, but rather in..."

Mrs. Gao hesitated for a moment, until a hint of impatience flashed in Kingpin's eyes, before slowly continuing, "The infamous playboy, the head of Stark Industries, in the hands of Tony Stark!"

"Tony...Stark?"

Upon hearing this not-so-unfamiliar name, even Kingpin, the kingpin of the underworld, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

If Kingpin himself was the underground emperor of New York City, he could shake the entire city with a mere flick of his wrist.

Tony Stark is one of the most powerful people on the surface. His company focuses on the arms trade and has extremely close ties with the military. Under certain circumstances, he can even mobilize the military's power to settle everything for him.

Even Kingpin wouldn't dare to openly attack him.

"So, you're now planning to use Tony Stark to intimidate me?"

Kingpin's surprise didn't last long; he quickly turned his cold gaze to Madam Gao.

"No, no, no, Mr. Kingpin, we are passengers in the same boat, and we share a common goal..."

A faint smile appeared on Madam Gao's usually unchanging face as she continued, "We in the Hand have just received some information that Stark Industries isn't entirely harmonious either..."

"Obadiah Stan, another major shareholder holding shares in Stark Industries, had long been unwilling to be overshadowed by this greenhorn Tony Stark..."

"Perhaps we can cooperate again. Not only can we help you regain the particle collider, but we can also take you a step further and completely absorb Stark Industries!"

The smile on Madam Gao's face vanished abruptly, followed by a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Heh, swallowing up the entire Stark Industries? Your idea is quite rosy..."

Jin did not directly accept Madam Gao's invitation to cooperate. Instead, he sneered, as if mocking Madam Gao for daydreaming.

"Mr. Kingpin, how will you know it won't work if you don't try?"

"Furthermore, on behalf of the Hand, I assure you that regardless of the success of our cooperation, we will provide you with a complete particle collider by the end of this week, allowing you to start your particle collision experiments on schedule..."

"However, Mr. Kingpin, I wonder if your ambitions are as vast as your physique!"

There seemed to be a hint of amusement in Madam Gao's eyes, and her tone was somewhat impolite.

boom!

As soon as Madam Gao finished speaking, Kingpin across from her seemed to instantly become enraged, his massive body exuding a strong sense of oppression.

Tear!

His pristine white suit seemed to have been suddenly torn apart by his powerful physique.

A fist the size of a sandbag shattered the long conference table between the two men with a single punch.

Then, like a savage beast, he charged straight at Madam Gao, accompanied by a violent tremor in the floor, and swung his huge fist directly at Madam Gao's aged face.

call!

A fist, even larger than Madam Gao's head, made a sharp, whistling sound as it flew through the air, stopping abruptly just centimeters from Madam Gao's cheek.

The strong winds even messed up Madam Gao's meticulously styled hair.

"As expected of Madam Gao, your provocation worked!"

Kingpin slowly retracted his fist, and the beast-like oppressive aura emanating from him gradually disappeared.

Madam Gao slowly put down her cane, the cold glint in her eyes completely disappearing, and the golden light in her eyes gradually dimming.

"Mr. Kingpin, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

……

Shortly after, Mrs. Gao, having reached an agreement, left the Kingpin Building.

In the chaotic meeting room, only Kingpin remained.

"Super Spider-Man? Tony Stark?"

"No one can stand in my way!"

Kingpin pulled out a phone and said directly to the other person, "Make an appointment for me with Obadiah Stan from Stark Industries. Tell him I have a special business deal to discuss with him..."

After saying that, Kingpin hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

He then seemed to fall into deep thought: "The original testing site may have been targeted by the insects. Perhaps we need to find a new location!"

The theft of the particle collider made Kingpin very wary, and he prepared to move to a new testing site.

After a moment of contemplation, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he picked up his phone again: "Make an appointment with Norman Osborn of Osborn Technologies for me. Tell him I have a way to cure his family's hereditary disease, but he only needs to agree to one condition..."

……

Meanwhile, Peter, who had just arrived at the school gate, ran into Harry, who was being personally brought there by his father.

"Peter, have you heard about what happened yesterday?"

Upon meeting, Harry couldn't wait to ask him if he knew what had happened yesterday.

"I've heard about it!"

Peter nodded; as a participant, how could he not know?

"Peter, can you guess who that guy who saved our classmate is? The newspapers say he's a superman hiding on Earth!"

"But I think he must have mastered some kind of technology that causes genetic mutations to gain such immense power; he's no longer human!"

"If I could discover a way to cause gene mutations, I would make humanity immortal!"

Harry seriously speculated about the mysterious person's identity and the source of his abilities.

"Mr. Osborne, what do you think?"

Peter did not answer, but instead passed the question to Harry's father, Norman Osborn, who was standing next to him.

"Don't listen to Harry's nonsense. Genetic mutation is a very serious biotechnology. It absolutely cannot be experimented on or applied recklessly, let alone used on humans without approval!"

Norman looked very serious and solemnly warned the two of them.

"However, my company is indeed dedicated to the research of this cutting-edge biotechnology, and has the most authoritative Professor Connors as a core member. His dream is to enable countless disabled people with missing bodies to grow back complete bodies."

"When you come to visit the company this weekend, I can have Harry take you to meet him. Maybe he'll appreciate your brilliant mind and let you join him in this research..."

Just then, Norman's phone rang: "Wait a moment, I'll take this call!"

He then walked to his luxury car and answered the phone.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing the message over the phone, Norman's expression changed drastically, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

It wasn't until he was stunned for a long time that his expression returned to normal.

He strode quickly towards Peter and Harry, saying, "Parker, Harry, I have some urgent business to attend to at work, so I have to go!"

After saying goodbye, Norman hurried back to his luxury car, and with the roar of the engine, sped away from the school gate.

"Oh dear, even in my father's most anxious moments, he has never lost his composure like this!"

Harry stared at the speeding luxury car, his face filled with confusion.

His father is usually very safety-conscious and has almost never driven so fast.

"It seems the Green Goblin is about to be born!"

Peter watched the luxury car speed away, thinking to himself.
