Chapter 26 Osborn and the Green Goblin
Mark exited the game and opened his eyes to find himself in a familiar room.
He glanced at the time.
Hmm, we should have enough time.
He changed his clothes and was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something.
He has no means of transportation.
Peter also sold the toy motorcycle he had bought before.
Because he doesn't have a driver's license.
So Mark opened the window and leaped onto Mary Jane's roof.
Demon Hunter Set!
Skill activated!
[Fast Movement (Level 2): Using this skill increases movement speed by 20%, consuming 1 stamina point per second.]
[Jump (Level 2): Increases jump distance by 20%, consumes 1 stamina point per second.]
With a combined speed of 6 points and the boost from a level 2 movement skill, Mark transformed into an agile black cat under the cover of night, leaping across residential areas.
Mark did not stop after entering the bustling city streets.
He didn't plan to take a taxi.
Because his money is useful.
Shortly after, Mark leaped off the high wall and arrived at the foot of a luxury apartment building in Brooklyn.
He was already panting heavily, quite exhausted.
That's what poor people are like.
He paused for a moment before entering the apartment building.
Canelé Apartments, 1404.
"Ding-dong~"
As Mark rang the doorbell, Peter Parker opened the door.
"Hey Mark, you're finally here."
Peter beckoned Mark into the house.
At this moment, the room is filled with colorful balloons, and the group is showing off their gifts.
When Mark entered the room, Gwen interrupted everyone with a smile.
"Mark Parker, our new friend," he introduced to everyone.
In the crowd, the silver-haired girl smiled and waved.
"Hi, you must be Mark Parker. I'm Felicia Hardy, Gwen's good friend."
Mark nodded. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"And me, I'm also Gwen's good friend, Cindy Moon." The pretty girl greeted her with a smile.
Mark responded to each point.
Felicia Hardy, Cindy Moon—these names sound familiar.
But then came someone even more familiar.
Hey Mark, long time no see.
The sunny young man put his arm around Mark's shoulder. "My friend, congratulations on being discharged from the hospital."
"Who are you?" Mark sized up the handsome young man in front of him.
"I am Harry, Harry Osborn."
Harry's smile froze. "It seems you're not completely recovered."
"But that's alright, I've already transferred to Imperial University, so we have plenty of time."
As he spoke, he nudged Peter with his shoulder. "Peter, aren't you right?"
Peter smiled and nodded. "Of course, Harry's back now, so he can pay for everything from now on."
"Peter, you've gotten funny," Harry teased.
Peter shrugged and didn't say anything.
His humor was honed through his experience as a mental patient.
Gwen looked at Mark, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Seeing this, Felicia instantly understood what Gwen meant.
She pulled Gwen forward.
"Mr. Mark, as Gwen's good friend, where is your gift?" she asked, holding out her hand.
Mark handed the bag to Gwen. "Happy birthday."
"Let me see," Cindy said, taking the bag first, much to Gwen's disappointment.
"They're shoes, ballet shoes."
Cindy was slightly displeased after seeing the gift.
"Mark Parker, your gift is too ordinary," she said, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Yes, it's meant to represent Gwen.
But Gwen snatched the gift, saying, "I love the green ballet shoes."
She hugged the gift tightly.
Seeing this, Cindy and Felicia exchanged a glance.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
His smile carried a hint of teasing.
"Yes, Gwen likes it very much."
"Of course, it seems we'll have to give her ballet shoes for her next birthday, and green ones too."
The two of them took turns saying something, and Gwen seemed a little embarrassed.
"No, I like your gifts too."
Then, she changed the subject:
"Time's almost up, bring out the cake."
"They're here."
Harry pushed the cake in front of everyone, and Mark lit the candles with a lighter.
Peter then turned off the light.
Let's sing "Happy Birthday".
"I'll start the tune."
Happy birthday, Gwen.
Soon, as Gwen finished making her wish, the candles were blown out, and the room lights came on.
"Cut the cake!" Peter had been eyeing the cake for a long time.
Just as he was about to use the knife, the doorbell rang again.
"Gwen, you still have friends?"
Mark asked curiously, then turned and opened the door.
Upon opening the door, a kind face came into view.
Hey, you're Mark.
Mark nodded. "Who are you?"
Norman Osborn.
Norman laughed and said, "It seems you're not completely cured yet."
Upon hearing this, Mark took a step back without making a sound.
"It's Uncle Norman, I remember you." Mark smiled and led Norman into the house.
Upon seeing Norman, Harry asked in surprise, "Father, what brings you here?"
Norman smiled and held up the gift in his hand. "I was just passing by and remembered it's Gwen's birthday today, so I bought her a gift."
He looked at Gwen, who was beaming with delight, and said, "I hope I haven't bothered you."
Gwen shook her head repeatedly. "No, Uncle Norman, we were just about to share the cake. You've come at the perfect time."
That's fantastic.
Norman accepted the cake Peter offered without ceremony, and smiled slightly.
"Peter, it's been a long time."
"Yes, it's been a long time."
Peter was completely unprepared.
He ate his cake while chatting idly with Norman.
In the corner, Mark took the cake from Gwen and kept a close eye on Norman's actions.
If he remembers correctly, Norman Osborn was the Green Goblin.
It was also because of the Green Goblin that Mark was able to be discharged from the hospital smoothly.
"Hey Mark, you seem distracted," Gwen noticed Mark's unusual behavior.
Mark turned to Gwen and smiled, "No, I just didn't sleep well last night."
Harry happened to hear this.
He pushed past Gwen and put his arm around Mark's shoulder.
"If you didn't sleep well, don't go to sleep. Tonight it's my treat, I'll take you guys to a nightclub to have some fun."
He didn't notice Gwen's resentful gaze.
Mark, of course, wouldn't refuse when he heard someone was offering him a meal.
Just as he was about to agree, the hairs on his arm suddenly stood on end.
In just a moment, he felt a strange palpitation and subconsciously looked out the window into the darkness.
In the darkness, a splash of green rushed in at lightning speed.
At the same time, Gwen's expression also changed.
She heard the voice of the guy inside her body.
"Be careful!"
In an instant, she shouted, and the green light outside the window shattered the French windows.
"Bang!!"
The glass shattered, and shards flew, cutting everyone's skin.
"No!!"
"What happened?"
Everyone was startled by the sudden commotion and instinctively lay prone on the ground.
Amidst the chaos, the green demon slowly rose, tilting its head and grinning wickedly.
"Giggle, Peter Parker, I've found you."
The demon mask twisted, and a pair of golden, evil eyes stared at Peter Parker, whose face was filled with fear.
"What? Me?"
The Green Goblin's sudden appearance plunged Peter Parker into fear.
He couldn't understand why the other person wanted to contact him.
Norman, however, reacted first, standing in front of Peter with a resolute expression on his face.
"Evil Green Goblin, don't hurt Peter."
mark:"????"
He looked Norman and Green Goblin up and down, wondering what had happened.
Could it be that the Norman of this universe isn't the Green Goblin?
No, something's wrong!
