America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

“I have a friend who told me that Spider-Man has revived the Superman movie and other superhero movie projects. Aren’t you happy? If we live another two or three years, we’ll be able to see a new Superman movie!” Philip said.

“Batman?” Li Qun looked at Philip Watson expectantly.

“Yes, a live-action Batman movie is also in the works,” Philip smiled.

“Right now, DC is the most anxious. They really want to contact Spider-Man, a real-life superhero, to get authorization from the real hero and make Spider-Man a comic book character in their series of superhero stories,” Philip said.

Chapter 342 Too Much Force

Philip Watson succeeded in making everyone hate him.

Some of Philip's remarks were deliberately made at the dinner table, and even the oblivious Peter noticed it.

“I’m sorry, thank you for the dinner you made for us,” Philip said to Li Qun.

Philip's words were hurtful, but every dish Li Qun had prepared was eaten clean, the plates were spotless, and Philip even wiped the remaining sauce off the bottom of the plates with a slice of bread.

Mary Jane's expression was numb; her heart had broken.

In front of the group of young people, Philip revealed the most unspeakable secret about her mother.

Her mother was not her maternal grandfather's biological child.

It was through this that Philip severed ties with Mary Jane's maternal grandmother's large family.

“I’ll take you back,” Peter said softly to Mary Jane as he walked up to her.

"Thank you, Peter."

Mary Jane stood up and glanced at her father, Philip, who was putting plates into the dishwasher.

“You’re an asshole,” Mary Jane said, as if stating a fact.

“I can hear you.” Philip immediately turned his head and looked at Mary Jane.

Peter felt a bit of a headache.

“We should take our leave,” Li Qun said to Philip.

"Welcome to visit again next time," Philip smiled at the four.

Li Qun, Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane walked out of the house.

“I feel he used too much force,” Li Qun said as he walked to the car.

“He wants to ruin Mary Jane’s relationships with everyone,” Gwen said.

“He figured it out.” Li Qun looked at Peter.

“I’m so sorry, Peter,” Mary Jane said to Peter.

“It’s alright,” Peter said to Mary Jane.

“Luckily, Uncle Ben and Aunt May didn’t come,” Peter remarked.

“He’s like this precisely because Uncle Ben and Aunt May aren’t here,” Mary Jane said.

“Mary Jane, don’t overthink it. We’re not strangers,” Li Qun said to Mary Jane.

Gwen glanced at Li Qun and nodded.

“I hope you don’t have nightmares, I might have one tonight,” Mary Jane said.

When they arrived at the apartment where Mary Jane and her Aunt Anna lived, Peter escorted Mary Jane upstairs, while Gwen and Li Qun waited in the car.

Gwen sat in the passenger seat, and Li Qun sat in the back. He rolled down the window and put his head next to it, looking out the window.

"What's wrong? Do you feel like throwing up?" Gwen turned to Li Qun and asked.

“No, I just want to see what Mary Jane’s aunt looks like. In English, the way family members are addressed is very vague, but in Chinese it is very clear. I can tell someone’s identity by how they are addressed.”

“I’m curious about which side Mary Jane’s aunt is related to,” Li Qun said.

“I don’t have that problem; I don’t have that many relatives,” Gwen said.

Peter walked out of the apartment building, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat.

"Let me see how to get to Gwen's house from here..." Peter took out his phone and checked the traffic map on it.

“I’ve got it sorted out.” Peter put his phone away, planned the route in his mind, and started the car.

The car remained silent on the way home with Gwen.

“Say something?” Gwen asked Peter.

“I don’t know what to say,” Peter said.

“Peter, don’t drink. I’m worried you’ll beat up Philip if you get drunk,” Li Qun said.

“Liqun, you drank it, why didn’t you beat him up?” Peter asked.

“What Philip said has nothing to do with us; that’s something they already knew how to handle,” Li Qun said.

“He hurt Mary Jane,” Peter said.

“Because that’s his only means of attack,” Li Qun said.

Silence returned to the car, lasting until they arrived at Gwen's building.

Li Qun sat in the car, and Peter escorted Gwen upstairs.

“Okay, now I’ll take you home,” Peter said as he got back into the car.

Liqun moved from the back seat to the front passenger seat.

“Now I want to know, has the image of Mary Jane in your mind been tarnished?” Li Qun asked Peter.

“No.” Peter shook his head slightly.

“You said it yourself, these things have nothing to do with Mary Jane.”

“But what Mary Jane’s father said makes one think,” Li Qun said.

"If you were to date Mary Jane, he would be the most determined destroyer of your relationship."

“I’m going to let things take their course,” Peter said.

"Let's focus on our business first!"

Peter's tone suddenly became firm.

"We have nothing now and are insignificant in the eyes of others, even though we have great development potential and may be very powerful in the future."

"Ah."

Liqun nodded.

Peter drove to Chinatown, dropped Li Qun off at home, and then drove home alone.

When Peter arrived home, Uncle Ben and Aunt May's time together was over, and they had also returned home.

"Are you alright?" Uncle Ben asked with concern.

“It’s alright.” Peter smiled.

"it is good."

Peter sat down to watch TV with Uncle Ben and Aunt May, but his mind was in turmoil.

"Look, Spider-Man is really strong! He lifted the car up!!" Uncle Ben laughed, pointing to the photos shown on TV.

All the Spider-Man photos now are taken by Peter himself, and the ones shown on TV are also taken by him. Getting these photos on TV requires connections with the Daily Bugle.

“Someone asked me to find out who took the picture of Spider-Man,” Aunt May said to Peter.

The information Aunt May currently knows is that Peter has taken photos of Spider-Man, and he always manages to do so.

“I refused every person who inquired,” Aunt Mei said.

“In the beginning, before there were any photos, some people said Spider-Man was a monster with six arms,” Uncle Ben said.

“Uncle Ben, I’m planning to move out after my birthday,” Peter suddenly said.

“Peter, is there no need to rush?” Aunt May asked.

“The children have grown up; it’s time for them to leave the nest.” Uncle Ben grasped Aunt Mei’s hand.

“I’m considering the address for company registration,” Peter replied.

"Do you need me to ask around?" Aunt Mei asked.

"We can handle it."

“Tell me before you make a decision, and I can help you make an assessment. I know the most about houses,” Aunt Mei said.

“I understand,” Peter said.

"I'm going back to my room."

Get some rest.

Peter went upstairs, returned to his room, and gently locked the door.

Peter sat down at the computer and logged into "Spiderhole" to study the avant-garde website created by Li Qun.

Peter didn't want to hold Li Qun back; he wanted to keep up with Li Qun's pace.

Peter then went to a technical forum and looked for posts related to the "Spider Cave". Only a few people noticed the unique design of the "Spider Cave".

Chapter 343 People Who Don't Celebrate Their Birthdays

"What's the mindset behind treating your birthday like any other day?" Wade asked Bruce Banner.

“I don’t have time to think about such questions,” Dr. Banner replied.

“You’re that kind of person too,” Wade said.

"Do I have any need to celebrate my birthday?" Dr. Banner asked.

"I understand now."

“Birthdays expose your most vulnerable side; you’ll miss your dad and your mom,” Wade said.

"Quiet, Wade."
