Unexpected Reinforcements

"Ha, so what if you recognized me? With the Ox Talisman in hand, what can you do to me?"

The moment Tru recognized him, Peter, who had been all smiles, felt his heart stop.

The next second, to prevent Tru from blurting out his other identity, he immediately...

Peter, who instinctively tried to change the subject, almost without thinking, uttered that timeless classic line before Thor could even arrive in this world.

"Bring some Brazilian girls! [Is that all you've got?!]"

"Heh, then you'd better watch carefully..."

Seeing Peter's arrogant and overbearing face, Tru was so angry that he laughed.

Then, Tru easily inserted his hands into the ground beneath his feet as if cutting tofu.

With a sudden burst of superhuman strength, Tru transformed into a human excavator, forcefully lifting a giant clod of earth five meters in diameter and one meter deep from the ground!

"...Peter, sometimes I think you'd be better off saying less."

Seeing such a shocking scene, even after experiencing repeated emotional shocks, Dr. Connors, who thought he was numb and could remain calm, couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times.

Then, with a strange look in his eyes, he looked at Peter, who was also feeling a chill run down his spine, and couldn't help but complain.

"...I'm sorry, Dr. Connors, I'll try to be more careful next time!"

Hearing Dr. Connors' words, and seeing Tru's superhuman strength, one can understand the power of Tru's abilities.

Peter, who never expected that a single sentence could cause such a big problem, couldn't help but shrink back guiltily.

Then, witnessing Tru unleash his power once more, hurling the giant clod of earth towards them, Peter, unwilling to let his teacher risk his life, could only pray that the bull charm Riley had given him was truly as miraculous as he claimed. He steeled himself and stepped forward, leaping into the air, no longer daring to hold back in the slightest, unleashing his signature right fist with all his might!

The good news is that, amplified by the Ox Charm, Peter found that the giant clod of earth in front of him was as easy as if it were made of foam, and he easily crushed it to pieces.

The bad news was that, once the clods of earth crumbled and no longer obstructed his view, Peter, accompanied by a strong spider-sense, found himself directly below him, Tru with outstretched arms, a cruel grin on his face, waiting for Peter to fall into his embrace!

The ninja soldiers, as if adding insult to injury, simultaneously hurled a large number of shuriken at Peter, who was suspended in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage!

Now, Peter was faced with a difficult choice.

Alternatively, they could completely expose their identity and immediately use the spider web projectiles to change their trajectory and escape the current crisis.

Alternatively, in order to preserve their identities, they could risk being riddled with stabs by the shuriken and use the power of the Ox Talisman to forcibly defeat Tru and fight for their own survival!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

Fortunately, just as Peter was weighing the pros and cons, his brow furrowed, preparing to adopt the safer first plan and reveal his Spider-Man identity.

In the darkness, accompanied by several sudden whooshing sounds, several round objects flew rapidly toward Peter.

Once they were close enough, these spherical objects exploded without warning.

But this was not intended to harm Peter. Instead, after they entered their designated positions, the shockwave from the chain explosions would blow away all the shuriken that were supposed to hit Peter.

"Hey Peter, wanna hitch a ride?"

The next second, an unfamiliar figure dressed in black combat gear, wearing goggles and a mask, rode a hoverboard through the explosion and flames. Before Peter could fall further and enter Tru's attack range, the figure grabbed Peter around the waist and pulled him up, freeing him from his predicament!

"That voice... Harry! What are you doing...?!"

Despite the other party's tight disguise, the strong brotherhood they had built over a long period of time allowed Peter to quickly discern the other party's identity from his playful remarks, which showed that the other party had no intention of pretending.

Surprised and delighted, she stood behind the hoverboard with Harry's help. She then wrapped her arms around Harry's waist to maintain her balance, and, despite the rush of air being forced into her mouth by the rapid flight, mumbled a complaint to Harry.

"It's far too dangerous here, Harry, you should..."

Indeed, at this critical moment, it was Harry, who was supposed to be under house arrest by Norman Osborn, who saved Peter.

Although at this time Harry had not been injected with the serum to gain powerful abilities.

But thanks to the protective suit Riley had developed for him, coupled with his consistent self-discipline and training, and the hoverboard he "accidentally" took when reporting the theft...

With Harry already showing signs of becoming the second Green Goblin, shaking off the surveillance of his bodyguards would be a piece of cake!

As for why Harry came here, it wasn't because Harry was a genius who guessed Peter's impending doom.

It was purely a coincidence.

Ultimately, Harry, the successor nurtured by Norman Osborn with the best educational resources, may seem somewhat carefree and irresponsible on the surface, but that doesn't mean he's a good-for-nothing who knows nothing and only knows how to indulge in debauchery.

On the contrary, Harry himself is an exceptionally talented genius, but he has always been overshadowed by his father's fame, leading people to naturally compare him to Norman Osborn. This makes Harry seem worthless, severely dampening his enthusiasm.

This is why Harry, after choosing to give up and live a life of leisure, seems to be nothing more than a rich young master who was born into wealth and has a rich father.

Even so, just as Peter, influenced by Riley, hoped that one day he could stand up for others like Riley before he gained the power of Spider-Man, he could do the same.

After being rescued by Riley, Harry, through his interactions with Riley, realized, with Riley's reminders and comfort, that he was ultimately the one and only "Harry Osborn," not a substitute for "Norman Osborn"!

Even if we can't surpass our parents' achievements, so what?

As long as you have given your all in everything you do and can be at peace with yourself, that is enough!

And that's why Harry's long-dormant heart was rekindled with vitality.

After learning about Spider-Man's heroic deeds, he, like most young people, regarded the two New York vigilantes as his idols.

This made Harry not only give up numbing himself with money, but also abandon the tedious life he had long been tired of.

Furthermore, using the equipment that he had secretly collected out of mere interest, he would spend some time at night flying over New York City, doing what he could to help others.

However, to avoid exposing his equipment and attracting his father's attention, Harry tries to use drones or similar methods to take down criminals remotely during each operation, rarely showing his face to the victims.

Spider-Man's name spread rapidly in New York City due to the reverse propaganda of J. Jonah Jameson's "Spider-Man is harmful" theory, and it became so famous that it was almost too loud.

Coupled with his father Norman Osborn's strict control, Harry didn't have much time to play superheroes on a regular basis.

So far, very few people have noticed that in addition to the two Spider-Men, New York City has another young vigilante whose whereabouts are even more elusive.
