American Comics: The Matrix

Felicia is indeed a rich girl.

Most of the Hardy family's money came from Felicia's father, the great thief Civet, who later set up a foundation to ensure that the wealth could be inherited.

"Should I sacrifice myself to be with a rich woman?"

Bant thought of Felicia's beautiful face and sexy figure, and suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable.

More importantly, Felicia has two faces after becoming a black cat, the blonde is gentle and quiet, the white hair is wild and moving...

Who wouldn’t be attracted by someone who is both pretty and rich?

But in the end, Bant gave up the idea.

In fact, Felicia couldn't afford to support him with much money. After the great thief Civet disappeared, the person who controls the Hardy Foundation is now Felicia's mother.

Bant had met this woman several times at school before. She was greedy, mean, and a little snobbish. It was impossible for her to invest money in an unknown person like Bant. Even if she did, she would want to take most of the profits.

"Difficult woman."

As Bant was thinking, the watch movement behind him flashed red again. He quickly jumped off the table and changed back to himself in mid-air.

After saving the file, he turned off the computer and lay down on the bed.

At this moment, his spider sense suddenly sounded.

Bant quickly looked out the window and saw Peter lying on his window like a big frog, stretching his head to look inside. He found that Bant was awake. Without thinking, he opened the window and jumped in.

"Huh, why are you awake?"

Peter said breathlessly, and before Bant could answer, he dumped out everything that had happened tonight.

"You won't believe it, but I ran into a lizard man!" He reached for the zipper on the back. "Do you know how big his claws are? And he has teeth!"

Only after taking off the spider suit did he look relieved.

It looks like walking more than ten kilometers in a pair of shoes that are too small and then taking them off.

"Lizard man? I know Zalbek is a lizard man." Bant teased while lying on the bed, "Have the lizard men already ruled America? I think your little head must be overwhelmed by the excitement."

After all, who doesn't know that it's squids, not lizards, that rule America?

(Doctor Octopus: Thinking about me?)

The noble Statue of Liberty is just someone else's dog.

"No, I mean it! You should have come with me so we could have caught him together," Peter said, rubbing his red skin. "But I let him get away."

"But seriously, next time I have to put some talcum powder on before I put on my suit. I'm getting prickly heat."

Speaking of squids ruling America, I suddenly thought of Zhang Parker becoming the mayor of New York. Isn't this a prophecy?

Chapter 23 Spider-Man is the earliest welfare machine (please read)

Early the next morning.

Bant looked down at his old cell phone and walked out of the room.

Harry texted him.

The text message said that the funds had arrived and other procedures had been resolved.

"Harry is pretty efficient."

Fortunately, there is Harry, a rich second-generation, otherwise, even if Bant has money, it is not easy to start a company. The biggest problem is that he is not old enough. But now, with the help of Harry's money and identity, these are not a problem.

He and Harry agreed to meet at the Williamsburg Bank after school today to open a Business account.

In addition, you will have to go to the tax office and the state government.

In fact, Bant had been impatient for a long time. He originally wanted to ask for leave from school and go there in the morning, but Harry seemed to have something else to do.

As he walked downstairs, he heard another door opening behind him.

Peter seemed to be in a hurry as he hopped down the stairs and put on his coat.

"Will you come with me to Osborne today, Ben?" asked Peter.

"What are you going to Osborne for?"

Peter heard the question and looked towards the kitchen. He saw Aunt May was still making breakfast, so he whispered:

"The lizard man from last night might show up again. Dr. Connors is an expert in studying reptiles. I think he might be able to analyze the habits or other weaknesses of the lizard man."

At this moment, Peter had no suspicion that Connors had turned into a lizard man.

"No, I have other things to do," Bant said.

This time, Peter's eyes became suspicious.

"Something else?"

"Why have you suddenly become so busy recently?" he asked curiously, "You used to go home right after school, and I never saw you doing anything else. Are you hiding something from me?"

"Don't meddle in your brother's business." Bant sat down on the dining table.

"Good morning, kids." Uncle Ben was reading a newspaper at the moment. When he saw them coming, he immediately greeted them. "This world is really not peaceful. Even lizard monsters have appeared."

"What, Uncle Ben, how do you know about Lizard People?" Peter was startled and asked quickly.

"Newspaper." Uncle Ben spread out the newspaper for them to see.

"Masked Spider-Man and Lizard Man, two monsters wreaking havoc on the Williamsburg Bridge!"

"What monster?" Peter shouted in disbelief.

"I am... Spider-Man is saving people! How can he report Spider-Man like this?"

Bant glanced at the newspaper.

"The Daily Bugle, that's fine."

He didn't find the Daily Bugle's attitude towards Spider-Man strange at all.

J. Jonah Jameson, known as the 1.5 generation Spider-Man, has always hated Spider-Man and is Spider-Man's biggest anti-fan.

Jameson's devilish smile flashed through Bant's mind.

"He's talking about the spider monster. Why are you so angry?" Uncle Ben looked up and asked curiously.

"I, just, this..." Peter was speechless and tried to argue, "I just think he is doing good things. Just like you told me, he has the ability, so he goes to help others."

"That's all very well, but how well do you know him?" said Uncle Ben.

"This……"

It's not a good feeling to try your best to help others, but in the end you still feel doubted.

Especially since Peter couldn't reveal his identity, he had no way to defend himself.

Seeing him so aggrieved, Bant couldn't bear it and said quickly:

"At least he has good reviews on YouTube."

This is the truth.

News about the masked man fighting the lizard monster on the Williamsburg Bridge has long been all over the place.

The blurry video on YouTube received a lot of likes.

Although it was Peter's first day, he still attracted a lot of admirers by saving the cars on the bridge that were about to fall into the East River.

Currently, the only known superhero in the world is Iron Man. Now with the emergence of Spider-Man, this gap has obviously been quickly filled.

"I believe that time will prove all this for Spider-Man, what do you think, Peter?"

"you're right!"

In fact, Peter was easily satisfied. After listening to Bant's words, he immediately sat down happily and prepared to enjoy breakfast with them.

After breakfast, Bant and Peter prepared to go to school.

"Aren't you going to work, Uncle Ben?" Bant asked.

Uncle Ben usually goes to work at this time, but today he is still at home reading the newspaper.

Uncle Ben's expression looked a little unnatural.

"No, I have half a day off this morning. Do you want me to take you to school?"

"No thanks." Bant and Peter shook their heads.

When the two of them walked out of the house, Uncle Ben sighed sadly, looked at his wife, and said exhaustedly: "I really don't know how to tell them that I'm unemployed."

"I have been a technician for 35 years, but they want to reduce costs and increase profits..."

He sat at the dining table reading the newspaper early in the morning, actually wanting to see if he could find some work to do in the newspaper.

"Don't worry, Ben," May reassured him, "We've been through tougher times than this. It's nothing."

"But the kids have to go to college," Ben said.

It would be fine if Peter and Bant's academic performance was not good enough to get into college, but one of them is a genius and the other studies very hard.

"They need to go to college, and I can't let them lose that opportunity because of money."

Mei walked over to him and hugged him.

"You'll find a job."

Outside.

Bant and Peter stood in silence.

"I don't know. I mean, he never told us." Peter was a little incoherent.

"Uncle Ben just didn't want us to worry or miss out on an opportunity that could change our lives," Bant said.

They walked together towards the bus stop.

Along the way, Peter said solemnly: "Xiaoban, we have to find a way to help him share his worries. We have grown up."

"You're right, Peter." Bante nodded, and he thought of something interesting.

"I do have an idea for making money that's perfect for you."

"what?"

“Remember the Bugle?”

Peter nodded blankly: "They wrote reports to discredit me, I mean Spider-Man. But I believe that they will slowly change their views."

Jameson will never stop discrediting Spider-Man unless he disappears.

Bant thought.

"They're actually paying for pictures of Spider-Man, and the YouTube videos are so blurry."

"Yeah!" Peter's eyes lit up, "You're right! I just happen to have a camera, and I know where to find Spider-Man!"

Who can say that Peter Parker taking pictures of Spider-Man and selling them is not a welfare-oriented behavior?

Chapter 24: Felicia doesn’t like science, but (Please read on)

Peter has always loved photography.

His old camera was a second-hand item that he bought by saving a lot of money.

The performance is pretty good though.

The two walked towards the bus stop, where a girl was already waiting.

"Good morning."

Mary Jane was dressed beautifully, with her fiery red hair draped over her body and two dimples when she smiled.

"Good morning, Mary Jane," Bant responded.

Peter stammered a greeting, then pursed his lips and said nothing.

He really wasn't very good at dealing with girls, not just Mary Jane, but also Liz, the girl he liked now. Even if he saw her, he wouldn't dare to go over and say hello.
