Chapter 52 Spider-Man is destined to never earn a high salary.
"With me? Are you sure?"
Mark frowned as he heard rustling sounds coming from the other end of the phone.
"What are you doing?"
"I work part-time as a sewer porter."
"Move what?"
"What else could it be? A corpse, of course. It's my side job."
In the filthy sewers, Wade carried a corpse, saying as he walked:
"You know, mercenaries don't have missions every day."
"How could I possibly understand?"
Mark hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
He looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
His job search seemed to be exceptionally difficult.
Is this going to bankrupt me?
Peter is clearly Spider-Man.
Oh, right, Peter!
Mark suddenly remembered Peter Parker.
What you think about comes true.
"Mark~"
Suddenly, Peter's low cry came from the corner.
Mark turned around and saw Peter hiding little Peter with a pitiful few leaves.
He hid naked in the bushes, pointing with an embarrassed expression at the tattered clothes in the distance.
"I need help."
Seeing that Peter was alright, Mark took off his coat and walked towards him.
"How are you?" He draped his coat over Peter's shoulders.
Peter glanced at his lower body, which was now covered in leaves, and said, "I need a pair of pants."
The incredibly loyal Mark didn't hesitate to take off his pants and give them to the other person.
Peter was deeply moved as he took the pants.
"I gave you your pants, so what are you going to do now?"
"It's okay, I'm fine with anything."
Mark snapped his fingers, and holy light flashed as he donned the beginner demon hunter's set.
He was particularly fond of this basic set of armor and was reluctant to let the weapons merchant take it back.
Peter: "......."
Having superpowers means you can be willful.
Seeing Gwen approach, he quickly put on his pants.
"Hey Peter, was that monster you just now?" Gwen guessed instantly.
Peter panicked and tried to explain, but Mark interrupted him.
"It's nothing, I was just ambushed by Professor Kurt."
Mark patted Peter on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"We can't be so careless next time. There's nothing we can do about revealing our identities at a crucial moment."
Upon hearing this, Gwen looked puzzled.
She couldn't understand.
But Peter understood.
It would be very troublesome if Mark's Spider-Man identity were exposed because of his weakness.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Of course it's your fault."
Mark said sternly, "Don't do that again."
Peter is used to pretending to be an ordinary person, and even after being ambushed, he was still hesitating about whether to reveal his identity.
Now that's a problem; after being injected with the regeneration agent, we don't know if there will be any side effects.
Mark felt so tired.
At the same time, Peter repeatedly assured Mark that he would not cause him any more trouble.
Gwen, standing to the side, seemed lost in thought.
"Many people at the scene saw the two lizardmen, and S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to discuss how to deal with them," she said.
Mark thought it made a lot of sense.
"Don't worry, I have a way to keep this a secret," he assured, patting his chest.
An hour later.
S.H.I.E.L.D., the interrogation room.
"Professor Kurt injected Peter with a regeneration agent, and I need your help to examine Peter's body."
Mark told the truth, and Peter's face immediately darkened.
What kind of concealment is this?
Natasha glanced at Peter curiously. "No problem, come with me."
"Mark," Peter said, sounding a little scared.
Mark smiled and comforted him, "It's alright, the Parker family will be counting on you from now on."
Peter was stunned, not understanding what this meant.
Mark, however, watched Peter leave with a look of satisfaction on his face.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. discovers that Peter is Spider-Man, they should be able to offer him a six-figure annual salary.
In this way, Mark can enjoy a portion of Peter's salary without having to work.
As expected of me, the great Witcher!
Mark was secretly delighted.
However, his hopes were soon shattered.
After a series of examinations, Natasha took Peter back to the interrogation room.
"Some of the drug's effects remained in his body."
Natasha frowned and said, "But unlike Professor Kurt's situation, this power isn't very violent; it seems..."
She grabbed Peter's newly grown right hand.
"Our instrument provided a slight stimulus, and his right hand grew back without any adverse reactions and has remained in perfect condition ever since."
Peter was also very excited.
"Mark, my hand is all better." He showed his perfectly good right hand.
Mark frowned. "Is there nothing else besides that?" he asked.
Natasha nodded. "That's all, but I suggest Peter stay here to continue observing. It's for your own good too."
Peter hesitated for a moment.
He looked at Mark and said, "That's what I think too. If I suddenly lose control of myself, I might hurt Uncle Ben and Aunt May."
Peter had not forgotten that beastly madness.
The effects of the drug hadn't completely worn off, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Mark did not object to Peter's decision.
He could only sigh to himself.
As expected of Spider-Man, he didn't even notice.
He shouldn't have had any hope for S.H.I.E.L.D.
It seems Spider-Man is destined to never earn a high salary.
Damn curse of the poor!
He cursed under his breath, stood up, and said:
"Then Peter is in your care."
"No problem," Natasha assured her.
Mark didn't believe in any guarantees.
He pulled Peter aside and whispered, "Just don't believe them. If your condition is stable, I'll come pick you up in a week."
Peter nodded. "Don't worry, I'll listen to you."
"Yes, I'll tell Ben and Mei that you're attending a school-organized exchange program and won't be home for a week."
After saying that, Mark quickly left S.H.I.E.L.D.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, Nick Fury watched Mark's figure disappear down the street.
Behind her, Natasha whispered, "Professor Kurt's medication is very stubborn; he might be beyond saving."
Nick Fury stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.
"I already guessed it."
Steve had been chasing Professor Kurt for so long that the latter simply didn't have time to prepare more regeneration potions.
But Professor Kurt was able to transform into a lizard monster on his own each time, thus escaping Steve's pursuit.
So he had already guessed that Professor Kurt was completely beyond saving.
Natasha, on the other hand, mentioned Peter Parker.
"Nick, Peter Parker's situation is very different from Professor Kurt's. He seems to have adapted perfectly to the regeneration agent and has not experienced any other side effects for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Nick Fury turned around abruptly.
"Sure?"
"Yes."
That's wonderful.
Nick Fury took a deep breath. "After the Green Goblin incident, I've realized that having only Steve as a super soldier isn't enough. We need more powerful soldiers."
"You mean... Peter Parker?"
Natasha frowned. "Mark's abilities seem to have become even stronger. If we..."
"We are not pressuring Peter Parker."
Nick Fury corrected him, "Mark, like Spider-Man, is an uncontrollable patient."
We can't keep him around and cause trouble, but we can't just leave him alone either.
Therefore, Peter Parker will act as a lubricant; he can restrain Mark instead of us.
He said to Natasha with a serious expression, "I'm leaving the task of persuading Peter Parker to you; that's your forte."
Natasha thought for a moment, "I think this should be one of your strengths."
Why?
"Because only you can offer him a six-figure annual salary."
Nick Fury: "........"
