After breakfast, Peter was about to leave when Uncle Ben quickly stopped him and handed him ten dolrs.

  "A man shouldn't be too stingy. Sometimes, you o show some generosity in front of girls," Uncle Ben said, winking at him.

  This left Peter feeling a bit flustered.

  "We're just cssmates…"

  New York, as one of the world's top cities, has surprisingly high saries, but that's only for the elite. For Uncle Ben, making ends meet wasn't easy.

  "Take it, Peter."

  Uncle Ben had always been very pleased with his nephew. Not only did Peter excel academically, but he also worked part-time at restaurants or delivered food to help out. While it made Uncle Ben proud, it also filled him with a sense of guilt toeter.

  "Peter, are you ready yet?"

  Gwen's voice called from outside.

  "ing!"

  Peter o Uncle Ben ahe house.

  Gee had been waiting outside in the car for a while. Seeing the two e out, he quickly put out the cigarette in his hand. This earned him an eye roll from Gwen. She had told him many times that smoking was bad for his health, but in front of Peter, she decided to give her dad some face.

  "Hop in, you two eic youngsters."

  Because of the close retionship between their families, this wasn't the first time they had carpooled to school. Peter naturally took the front passenger seat.

  Ge Peter with admiration.

  Without parison, there's no sense of loss.

  Due to his job, Gee had seen too many young people who had goray, turning to crime at a young age. But then there eter—excellent grades, well-liked by teachers, and incredibly polite.

  The fact that Gwen had bee good friends with Peter put Gee at ease. He even thought they could take their retionship further. After all, he knew Peter well. If Gwen ever brought home some guy with rainbow-colored hair, that would be a headache.

  Plus, Peter had always taken good care of Gwen.

  "Peter, how was your visit to Oscorp st time? Norman Osborn spoke highly of you."

  Peter nodded.

  "That's the be of reading a lot. Even when fag the CEO of a major pany, I hold my own."

  Last week, when he visited Oscorp, Peter had expected to be bitten by a spider. He was even prepared to bee Spider-Man. But…

  Not only was there no spider, he didn't even see a sirand of spider silk.

  Though it didn't go as pnned, Peter felt relieved. If he didn't bee Spider-Man, at least Uncle Ben wouldn't have to die. With his grades, he could easily get into a good uy and had the fideo bee part of Wall Street's elite.

  But he never expected that in this world, Gwen would bee Spider-Man!!

  The thought of being sacrificed by the ws of the universe made Peter deeply frustrated.

  Soon, the three arrived at Midtown Tech High School. Peter and Gwen got out of the car, said goodbye to Gee, and walked into the school together.

  At eighteen, Gwen had already reached the age where women fully develop. With her short blonde hair, she instantly became the ter of attention as soon as she appeared. Many had pursued her before, but she had rejected them all. As for the persistent ones, Gee had "kindly" iated with them.

  Peter, oher hand, seemed almost invisible. He was thin, parable to Captain America before his super-soldier transformatioer had thought about improving his physique through exercise, but it didn't seem to help.

  Gwen was in a great mood. School was no pressure for her, but what made her even happier was that she had gained superpowers.

  Last week, while interning at Oscorp, she had been bitten by a spider. Whe home, she felt dizzy and feverish. But after waking up, her vision and hearing had bee sharper, and she had gained incredible strength!

  She could now open tightly sealed pickle jars with her bare hands, something she could never do before. At first, she felt panic, but pared to the excitement and joy, the ive emotions were nothing.

  When she swung through the city at night, she easily stopped a few robbers and even made the news. Thankfully, she had disguised herself, or her father would have been terrified.

  Gwen really wao tell Peter about her powers, but she was afraid he might see her as a monster. If that happened, she'd rather not have the powers at all.

  Just then, a strong tingliion shot through her, making her hair stand on end.

  "Move, Peter!!!"

  Her spider-sense had never been wrong. This meant there was signifit danger!!

  Sure enough, a sharp, maniacal ugh echoed through the air, followed by the distinct sound of spinning propellers.

  Looking up, a figure wearing a green demon mask and riding a hoverboard appeared. Without hesitatiohrew twe pumpkin bombs!

  Fortunately, they nded far from Peter, but students nearby weren't so lucky. The bombs exploded, instantly vaporizing flesh and turning boo powder.

  Midtown Tech High School was thrown into chaos!!!

  Gwen quickly pulled Peter to safety. She o find a pce to ge into her suit.

  But the Green Goblin came a just as fast.

  Peter stood frozen, not out of fear, but because two lines of text appeared before his eyes.
