Chapter 14: A Move Only the Handsome Can Pull Off

  Oscorp had numerous industries and informants scattered across New York.

  At Norman Osborn's home, the TV ying footage of Peter's battle with the Rhino.

  "Damn it, how did he do that?!!"

  Osborn, now dominated by the Green Goblin persona, was seething with rage.

  Even after slowing the video down dozens of times, there was no trace of Peter's movement!

  "We haven't even lured out Spider-Woma, and now there's this mysterious Peaky Blinder!!"

  The Green Goblin smmed his fist into a table, shattering it in his fury!

  The gruesome fate of the Rhi a chill down his spine.

  But it didn't deter him from his pn to create chaos and draw out Spider-Woman.

  After all, from the battle footage, it was clear that the Peaky Blinder was incredibly fast and strong, but he had oal weakness.

  He couldn't fly!

  And the Green Goblin had his bat-winged glider!

  As long as he proceeded carefully, there shouldn't be any major issues.

  …

  Meanwhile, Peter was already on a train heading to Stark Tower.

  There was still some time before nightfall.

  During his high-speed movement earlier, Peter had destroyed the Stark Industries logo on the Rhino's armor and taken a photo.

  At this point, Tony Stark was still just a pyboy, far from being Iron Man.

  New York's streets were also devoid of superheroes.

  As for Superman and Homehey occasionally visited the city.

  Yes, you heard that right.

  The plexity of this world was absurd.

  It wasn't just a fusion of Marvel and DC—it also included the universe of The Boys.

  Superman did good deeds out of a genuine sense of justice, while Homender only acted heroically to boost his popurity and drive up Vought's stock prices.

  Even with them occasionally maintaining order, there were still too few superheroes, and the city's crime rate remained sky-high.

  Drugs, ons, human traffig, theft, robbery…

  While Peter could farm points from these criminals, he still wished the world could be a safer pce.

  So, his trip to Stark Tower was aimed at making Tony realize that the military products his pany developed weren't just being sold to the military.

  Oraier closed his eyes to rest.

  The system's notification sounded.

  [Mission: Punish the Rhino has been pleted.]

  [Your handling of the Rhino aligns with the identity of a vilinous superhero.]

  [Hidden sg criteria:]

  [Preparedness when fag enemies: 1,000 points]

  [Using brutal methods against enemies: 4,000 points]

  [ent: When vilins torment the i, they never sider their own cruelty. Your swift and merciless punishment is what they deserve.]

  [Only with a vajra in hand one show the heart of a bodhisattva.]

  [Points verted.]

  [First mission points doubled.]

  [You have received 15,000 points.]

  [Additional reward: Oat point.]

  [Please choose a talent to upgrade.]

  [Bulletproof Skull, Fsh Dodge, Forced Interruption, Spider-Sense.]

  Peter hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing Spider-Sense.

  Iure, if he acquired stroemptes, the Yan Shuangying talents might bee less useful.

  In parison, Spider-Sense would remain relevant for a long time.

  After Peter made his choice, the system panel updated. The previously white Spider-Sense i turned blue.

  [Spider-Sense V1 → V2]

  [Alert sensitivity increased.]

  Peter let out a long breath.

  With the 15,000 points plus the spare points he already had, his total points now exceeded 16,000.

  He was oep closer to exging for the Homeempte.

  He wondered who would win if he ever faced the real Homender.

  Before long, Peter arrived at Stark Industries.

  High schools in the U.S. usually let out between 2 and 3 p.m.

  Peter had dealt with the Rhino by 4 p.m., so Stark Industries employees were still at work.

  Peter approached the front desk, where a professional-looking staff member greeted him.

  "Hello, sir. Who are you here to see?"

  "Uh, I'm here to see Miss Pepper Potts."

  As a billionaire, Peter figured Tony Stark probably wouldn't want to meet a high school student—even a handsome one.

  "Do you have an appoi?"

  "Hey, I just found this neckce outside. I bet it's yours."

  Peter held out his hand, dangling a finely crafted but not particurly valuable neckce.

  "I'm a friend of Miss Potts. She never mentiohat Stark Industries had such a beautiful dy w here."

  Peter figured that as Tony's secretary, Pepper might not have time to meet a high school student without an appoi.

  So, he he froo notify her.

  As for the little trick with the female receptionist, he had lear from Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Catch Me If You . The reason it worked so well was because DiCaprio had a handsome face.

  Peter wasirely fident it would work.

  The receptionist looked at Peter, then at the neck his hand.

  Her fastantly turned red.

  Peter pressed his advantage, smiling as he draped the neckce around her neck. He also noticed the ag on her chest.

  "Jenny, right? Listen, Jenny."

  "I need you to call Miss Potts and tell her an old friend is here to see her."

  This kind of trick isn't reended for everyone. If you're not good-looking, you'll just e off as a creep.

  But Peter gave off a refreshing, pyful vibe.

  Mainly because he was good-looking.

  The receptionist let out a breath and dialed Pepper's number.

  "She's on the 21st floor. You take the elevator up."

  "Thanks."

  Peter turo leave.

  "Wait!" Jenny called after him.

  "Yes?"

  Jenny quickly scribbled something on a stiote and ha to Peter.

  He took it and saw a string of numbers.

  Jenny blushed and said,

  "That's my number. Call me tonight!"
