Chapter 117 Gwen: This familiar scene...
A month and a half ago, two weeks after Toby Parker disappeared, someone approached Ivan Vanko, wanting to work with him on a revenge operation.
The man's name was Carlton Drake, and he was the owner of the Life Foundation.
In other words, the people who brought back symbiotes like Riot and Venom from outer space.
During the time when Toby transformed into "Spider" to stop the Frost Giants' invasion of Earth and used the symbiote's abilities extensively, Drake confirmed through the live broadcast that Spider was the same guy who stole the symbiote he had worked so hard to bring back!
From that day on, he frantically searched for the true identity of the venomous spider, wanting to reclaim his symbiote and take revenge on him.
Drake is not only the owner of the Life Foundation, but also a genius himself.
Therefore, based on clues, such as the fact that Iron Man and the Spider-Man family seemed very familiar with each other during the live broadcast, and Iron Man is known to be Tony Stark, and given that Tony Stark has a strange temper and not many friends, we should investigate one by one.
Drake eventually identified a suspect: Parker Industries, the newly established mega-corporation in which Tony Stark had just invested.
Furthermore, considering that Toby Parker, the owner of Parker Industries, was originally from an ordinary family but was able to suddenly create a super company, and Toby's rather conspicuous physique.
Drake finally confirmed that Toby Parker was the Spider who stole his symbiote!
Everyone knows that the Spider herself entered the Rainbow Bridge alone to stop the Frost Giants from invading, and her whereabouts are unknown.
However, Drake did not give up his mission to retrieve the symbiote and take revenge because of Toby's disappearance. On the contrary, the disappearance of Toby, the most powerful spider leader in the spider family, gave him even more courage to carry out his revenge!
And although he couldn't get the symbiote from Toby, he discovered that there was another person who possessed a symbiote, namely Harry Osborn, the "Black Spider" of the Spider Family!
The target was confirmed, but Drake knew that ordinary power was no match for the Spider Family, and Toby Parker's new home had cleverly chosen to be next to Kingpin's.
Toby Parker is on good terms with Kingpin, and if he rashly attacks the Parr family, he will inevitably offend Kingpin, the underground emperor.
Therefore, Drake had no choice but to seek external assistance to deal with the Spider Family while also looking for other ways to retaliate and reclaim the symbiote.
Finally, Drake discovered a helpful ally: the Vanke family, who had a grudge against the Stark family!
And Drake also found a target who was connected to Toby Parker but was easy to approach and wouldn't offend Kingpin: Toby Parker's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy!
And today happens to be the day the Drake Plan is implemented.
Ivan Vanko, who funded the creation of a large number of Iron Legions, sought revenge against Tony Stark, restrained the Spider Family members, and controlled War Machine to reclaim the symbiote from Harry.
Meanwhile, Drake himself led a group to capture Gwen. He wanted to expose the true identity of the Spider Family on a global live broadcast and let the Spider Family members witness Gwen's death live!
He wanted everyone to know what would happen if they dared to take his things!
call------
"Two months! I was gone for two months! Looks like some people have already forgotten how I started out!"
After reading Ivan Vanko's memories, Toby opened his blood-red eyes and spoke in a terrifyingly low voice.
Even the symbiote suit on his body was churning with anger, as if the symbiotes were trembling with fear!
Pfft—Pfft—
Toby glanced around, confirmed the direction Drake had headed to capture Gwen from his memory, and then stretched out his hand, shooting out two strands of spider silk to the left and right, wrapping them around the two buildings!
Toby then pulled himself back, holding onto the spider silk with both arms.
Under the immense force of the pull, the spider silk began to straighten, until both buildings wrapped in the silk began to crackle. The silk had become deeply embedded in the buildings, and Toby, who had stretched the silk to its limit, finally stopped.
Then, as the force under his feet dissipated, Toby was instantly launched out by the spider silk stretched to its limit. With a sharp sonic boom that shattered the surrounding glass, he disappeared into a shadow that even a high-speed camera could not capture!
The speed that burst forth in that instant not only far exceeded the speed of the spider silk, but even surpassed the maximum speed of the symbiote's lightning acceleration!
The destructive power it caused was a tiny bit over a hundred million...
Tony stared at the two towers, nearly broken in half from the scuffle, and the shattered windows of the surrounding buildings. His small mustache twitched inside his armor. "Hey, Jarvis, how long until you buy these two towers for me? I don't want anyone messing with Toby when he's in a rage over this..."
On the other side, New York University.
A team of heavily armed, masked men stormed into New York University; their actions were extremely swift and professional.
Along the way, the security guard, Lu Tou, was shot dead, and the teachers and students were all forced at gunpoint to gather in the spacious indoor basketball court.
Gwen was no exception; she was in class and had nowhere to escape, so she was also taken to the basketball court.
Furthermore, Gwen is different from the other students. While the other students are all watched by a fully armed masked man, Gwen is watched by a group of masked men who are specifically assigned to guard her.
It's as if... these people came specifically to target me!
And as it turns out, that was indeed the case.
After the armed, masked people gathered all the teachers and students, a masked man who looked like the leader led a group of people carrying various equipment and pushed open the door of the indoor basketball court and walked in.
As soon as they entered, the people carrying equipment began setting up cameras in various corners, while the masked leader walked straight toward Gwen, who was being guarded alone.
These masked men were all Drake's men.
Drake himself was leading the charge.
Drake walked up to Gwen and sneered, "Gwen Stacy? You're a smart girl, you could have had a bright future..."
"But it's such a shame you chose a stupid boyfriend, a fool who took away my most important thing, and no one can take my things away! No one!"
"Today, I will not only take back what's mine, but I will also make the entire spider family pay the price, starting with publicly broadcasting your death!"
Gwen showed no fear on her face upon hearing this.
She glanced at the cameras being set up around her, then at Drake who had been making those threats, and fell silent for a moment.
This scene, these harsh words... the more I look at it, the more familiar it seems...
It seems that she and Toby first met in a scene like this...
It's just that there weren't as many people that time, and the scale wasn't as large, but the similarity was...
Gwen tilted her head slightly, then suddenly gave Drake a happy smile: "You shouldn't have talked so much nonsense like the last guy. You should have killed me the moment you caught me, but I'm sorry, sir, you don't have that chance anymore..."
Welcome home!
"Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting? If you want to die and wait for the live stream to start, I'll grant your wish... Huh?!" Drake frowned, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at Gwen's forehead.
But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that the girl opposite him wasn't looking at him at all, but rather... behind him!
The next moment, Drake saw his shadow being covered by an even larger shadow from behind, and at the same time, the hairs on the back of his body stood up involuntarily, and an extreme sense of danger rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
It's as if... a terrifying prehistoric beast is standing right behind you!
