“If I really just watched and did nothing, I felt like I was a criminal just like them.”
Spider-Man tried hard to make his tone gentle, but one could still feel that he was very excited.
At this time, Zhao Chen had a guess in his mind that Spider-Man had seen a crime before, and he did not stop it, which led to some irreversible consequences, so he felt very guilty.
Finally, he decided to make such clothes and carry them with him to stop the crimes he saw. These spider silks need to be made secretly.
And while doing all this, he had to hide it from everyone, including, of course, his beloved Aunt May.
Zhao Chen stood up and walked to the little spider’s side, rubbing his head.
Chapter 906 The Dead Old Man
“Uncle asks you a question, have you ever seen someone get hurt and you didn’t stop it, Peter?”
After hearing what Zhao Chen said, the little spider lowered his head. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth to tell what happened that time.
“One time… I came home from school. I had been doing exercises at school that day and had done quite a lot, so I came home very late. Aunt Mei was working the night shift that day…”
Spider-Man has extraordinary hearing. On his way back, he heard some unusual noises coming from the alley. It was someone begging for mercy.
Spider-Man wanted to know what was going on over there. He looked over secretly and found that a gangster was robbing an old man.
From what Spider-Man saw, he thought the old man must have put up some resistance before he saw him, and then was beaten up by the thugs.
27 The old man was also stabbed in the thigh and blood was flowing out. The old man felt that he was close to death and began to beg for mercy.
Spider-Man was all alone at the time. He had no equipment, no clothes, no web shooters, nothing.
Although Spider-Man is young, he knows very well that he cannot just walk out like this, otherwise it will bring trouble to his family.
But he couldn’t just leave without caring about anything, so he picked up the phone and called law enforcement.
After he came back from the call, he found that the robber was gone, but the old man had another knife in the stomach.
After seeing this scene, Spider-Man quickly ran towards the old man, wanting to help him. The moment he saw Spider-Man, the old man grabbed his clothes tightly.
The look he gave the little spider was full of pleading, probably hoping that the little spider could help him save himself.
The old man just looked at Little Spider without saying a word, and then he died in Little Spider’s arms.
“It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, the old man wouldn’t have died. Mr. Zhao Chen, if I had gone out and stopped it in time, the old man would have survived.”
“Since then, I often dream about that old woman at night, and the look in her eyes before she died. I think she was blaming me, why didn’t she come out earlier?”
When he said this, Spider-Man’s eyes were red and his voice was choked. After a moment of silence, he continued to speak.
“After that night, I got to know the old man better. I learned that he had a daughter and a one-year-old grandson who was very cute.”
“His daughter lost her father, and his grandson lost his grandfather. Everything is my fault. It’s all because of me. I don’t want such a mistake to happen again.”
“So you asked me not to take action again. I can’t promise you this. I can’t do it.”
After hearing what Spider-Man said, Natasha felt extremely distressed. She walked to Spider-Man, hugged him in her arms, and kept comforting him.
“Peter, this matter is not your fault. The fault in this matter is not yours.”
This incident must have stayed in Spider-Man’s heart for a long time. He never dared to speak it out, and he had no way to tell his friends at school.
If it weren’t for the fact that his action was seen by Zhao Chen and Natasha, and then he was forced by the two of them, it is very likely that Spider-Man would have endured this matter alone.
Natasha was very gentle. She held Spider-Man in her arms. After feeling this tenderness, Spider-Man’s heart’s defenses collapsed instantly and he began to cry loudly.
Although he was much more mature than his peers, he was still a child after all. The crying of the little spider made Natasha feel very uncomfortable. She held him and let him cry.
Zhao Chen on the side sighed, took out a cigarette from his space bracelet and lit it.
Counting the time, Zhao Chen has been in this world for several years. In this world, Zhao Chen has seen many crazy criminals and some terrorists.
Of course, in addition to these criminals, there are many superheroes who have great love in their hearts and will do the right thing no matter what happens, such as Captain America.
There is also Iron Man who wants to protect the earth, or Nick Fury who always has the world in his heart.
They are extremely powerful and also very noble. Zhao Chen has experienced a lot of things with them, most of which were very dangerous.
But until now, not one of these people has given Zhao Chen the same feeling of being moved as that given to Little Spider.
Compared with what they did, what Spider-Man did seemed very subtle, but the shock it caused in Zhao Chen’s heart was something he had never experienced before.
Real scenes appeared before Zhao Chen’s eyes.
For such a long time, Zhao Chen has been following the system and moving forward step by step.
Chapter 907: Convincing Tony
Until now, Zhao Chen had never thought about why he did all these things, but after hearing what Spider-Man said today.
Especially when he heard Little Spider talking about the old man again, although Zhao Chen did not see it with his own eyes and only Little Spider was describing it, the scene appeared in front of Zhao Chen in an extremely real way.
Zhao Chen has always felt that this world is very unreal, and the sense of reality he has is given to him by Tony, Pepper and Natasha.
After the Avengers were established, it was the people from the Avengers who gave it to him. Zhao Chen’s life has always revolved around these relevant people.
As for people outside the Avengers, those ordinary people, Zhao Chen still thinks they are unreal.
After thinking about this, a crystal clear tear appeared in the corner of Zhao Chen’s eye, and then flowed down Zhao Chen’s face.
This reminded Zhao Chen of Uncle Wang from Chinatown, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time and who had been transferring rent into his account, and the girl at the hot pot restaurant he often went to.
And the girls that Tony and I talked to at the yacht party, they are all real and they all have feelings.
It was not until this moment that Zhao Chen felt that his whole world was real, and not just the group of people around him. At this time, Zhao Chen also felt the responsibility on his shoulders.
The casualties in the previous war were just a string of numbers to Zhao Chen, but now Zhao Chen feels that they are living people.
Only then did Zhao Chen truly shoulder the responsibility of a hero.
This moment was given to Zhao Chen by Spider-Man, although Zhao Chen still hoped that Spider-Man would not do these dangerous things before he was 16 years old.
But after hearing what Spider-Man said and seeing his attitude, Zhao Chen felt that he had no reason to stop him.
Zhao Chen will not stop Spider-Man now, but they still have to ensure Spider-Man’s safety, so Zhao Chen has to ask Tony to help Spider-Man make a set of armor.
Natasha heard everything Spider-Man said, and like Zhao Chen, she was deeply touched, so Natasha had the same idea as Zhao Chen.
The two of them decided to divide the work. Natasha went to talk to Aunt May and asked her not to stop stopping them, while Zhao Chen would communicate with Tony.
They must tell Tony about the relationship between the two of them. In addition, there is another very crucial factor, because only Tony can make armor.
“I tell you, don’t even think about it, Zhao Chen. Little Peter is only 12 years old now. Do you know how dangerous New York is?”
“I’m not talking about the robbers or the thieves. On these streets, you may encounter gangsters at any time. Do you understand what gangsters are?”
Before Zhao Chen came to find Tony, he was mentally prepared that Tony would be extremely excited, but Tony was even more excited than he imagined.
After he finished saying those words, Tony started roaring, and all the droplets sprayed onto Zhao Chen’s face.
Of course Zhao Chen knew the gangsters Tony was talking about. When he first came to this world, he completed his missions and eliminated quite a few gangsters.
“Don’t be so excited. Listen to me first. I know that little Peter is only 12 years old. I don’t agree with him doing those dangerous things.”
“But he said something to me…”
Zhao Chen told Tony everything that Spider-Man had said to him. After he said this, Tony was no longer excited but remained silent.
The words that Spider-Man said that day touched Zhao Chen’s heart deeply, so when Zhao Chen talked to Tony, he also spoke with his own emotions.
The emotions that Zhao Chen expressed were even more powerful than those expressed by Spider-Man at that time, which made Tony silent for a moment.
“¨” I’m going to find Shu Rui now. I’m going to ask her to make a set of vibranium nano armor. I’ve already got the design of the armor. I’m going to modify it.”
Tony didn’t want Spider-Man to do these things because he was worried about his safety, but now after hearing what Zhao Chen said, he realized that he couldn’t stop Spider-Man.
Since we can’t stop Spider-Man, we might as well make the armor the best it can be, so that (Zhao Lihao) can also protect Spider-Man.
Of course, Tony didn’t just make the armor, he did a lot of other things.
Tony and Spider-Man have known each other for several years. Spider-Man is very talented in science, so he and Tony get along very well.
The relationship between Spider-Man and Tony now is like that between father and son, so Tony is extremely nervous about Spider-Man.
In addition to this set of armor, Tony also bought two apartments there, which were filled with Iron Soldiers to support Spider-Man.
The Edith Intelligence System that Tony had been working on was brought out in advance, also for Spider-Man.
Chapter 908 Tony’s Strong Slap in the Face
Aunt May was very touched by Spider-Man’s persistence in these things. After Aunt May and Natasha finished chatting, she talked to Spider-Man again.
After talking with Spider-Man, Aunt May finally agreed to let Spider-Man do those things. Aunt May also knew that Tony had arranged a lot of safety measures, so she felt much more at ease.
However, they also gave Spider-Man a rule, that is, all Spider-Man can do is deal with minor crimes, and if he discovers a major crime, he must tell the Avengers.
Let the Avengers handle it. Since they are very familiar with everyone in the Avengers, there is no need to hold any press conference.
However, it was also a big deal for Spider-Man to join the Avengers. Zhao Chen and Tony called everyone to the base and solemnly introduced Spider-Man.
“Little Peter will be the reserve force of our Avengers from now on. Peter, this is your Armor 753.”
The armor made for Spider-Man had a logo representing the Avengers on it, and what Spider-Man experienced spread among the Avengers.
In addition, Spider-Man’s determination on this matter also made Peter Parker the darling of the Avengers.
After Spider-Man joined the Avengers, he brought some trouble to the Avengers.
Because Spider-Man has the Avengers logo on his armor, others would think he is a member of the Avengers, but he is indeed one.
Then someone wrote an article that mainly satirized the Avengers, arguing that there was no world crisis at the moment and they should not interfere in small matters of public security.
They are now accepting funds from the department, and are ridiculed for accepting these (CHDB) funds just to be street law enforcers.
In addition, this article also alludes to the fact that the Avengers previously besieged the supreme leader’s workplace and drove the supreme leader from his position.
In this article, they also called for the Avengers to be under the supervision of the department in whatever they do in the future.
Similar reports appear frequently, with the goal of emphasizing that departments should do more to supervise the Avengers.
Whenever they encountered such reports, Zhao Chen and his colleagues’ attitude towards handling it was indifferent, and such matters would usually be handled by Peggy Carter.
But this time, Spider-Man was mentioned in the report, and Tony, who has a father-son relationship with Spider-Man, became extremely anxious.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, he crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
“The current media… Jia Siwei, investigate for me. I want to acquire them. Since their editor-in-chief is a brainless one, I will pay to replace him with one with brains.”
When Tony said this, he was extremely angry, and Zhao Chen, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t help laughing when he saw this scene.
“Tony, there is no point in doing this. Even if you acquire this company, can you guarantee that another company won’t come out and say something?”
“You can’t possibly spend money to buy all the media, right?”
Tony was very disdainful of what Zhao Chen said. He raised his proud head and said to Zhao Chen.
“Don’t you know that Stark Industries owns 30% of the shares of the TV station and newspaper? I just need to acquire more and control a small half in my own hands, and suppress the other half. Is that okay?”
Tony’s words made Zhao Chen slap himself hard in the face.
Compare anything with Tony Stark, except money.
Because the matter involved Spider-Man, Tony completely disregarded his dignity and stood up to fight with these people himself.
Tony dispatched several of his Stark Industries and his private satellites to conduct comprehensive monitoring of the entire New York.
In addition, he also had a dispute with the daily newspaper. Apart from all this, he even slapped the faces of the law enforcers.
Tony didn’t care about the cost at all. He spent a lot of money and resources. Now the public security in New York is very good.
Now in New York, let alone stealing or robbery, if you accidentally set off someone else’s car alarm on the road, a steel robot will appear in the next few seconds.
This robot will scan you and start checking your records. Of course, the law enforcers in New York cannot afford to offend Tony, not to mention the Avengers behind Tony.
Tony slapped them in the face a little too harshly. After the incident, the crime rate before and after made all the law enforcement departments unable to hold their heads up.
You know, Tony invested a lot of resources here. The place is not big, but there are many satellites watching it. In addition, you can also see a lot of patrol robots in the sky.
As things slowly developed, Tony was no longer able to save himself.
Chapter 909: Sitrickel’s Tail
Fortunately, there was a big shot in the department. They invited several congressmen to go to Tony and lobby him, so Tony took the opportunity to step down.
