Volume 6: Secret Invasion Chapter 3 Among the countless destinies of Old Peter, only this one is full of the fragrance of wealth
"I know he's rich, but isn't this too much?"
Ten minutes later, Mason's evil motorcycle stopped in front of a super luxurious office building. Harley, who was sticking to his back and enjoying the warmth of the little sweetheart, took off her helmet and exclaimed:
“Is this building all his?”
Of course not only!
Mason looked speechlessly at the bright "Parker Industries" logo on the building in front of him that was at least 70 stories high, and then looked around.
Judging from the architectural style of the surrounding areas, it is estimated that this entire street was bought by Zhang Parker. Looking out from here, you can even see a giant villa built in the city, which looks like a modern palace.
“You really know how to enjoy yourself…”
Mason said sourly. Harley behind him sensed the little sweetheart's emotions and stood up and pecked him hard on the cheek. She whispered:
"Don't envy him, sweetheart. Even if Mr. K is so poor that he has to beg for food, I will rob a bank to support you."
"Well, these words really heal me, but can you please find a legal job to support me? I'm already so poor that I have to beg for food, so please don't let me suffer the consequences of imprisonment."
Mason jumped out of the car and carried Hallie like a princess to let her out of the car.
Then he patted the hood of the Ghost Motorcycle and told it to find a place to play by itself, but not to scare the people around it. After all, driverless cars are considered high-tech even in this world.
"Is that magic?"
Watching the Ghost motorcycle driving along the street line slowly like an old man taking a stroll, Zhang Parker, who was standing in front of his building to welcome guests, took off his sunglasses and asked curiously:
"Why does that car look like the legendary Ghost Motorcycle to me? Unfortunately, the Ghost Rider in this world disappeared several years ago, so I have never been able to obtain a sample of her power.
I heard she was a very attractive and hot cowgirl lady, exactly my type.”
"Then I wonder if there's something wrong with your XP."
Mason complained:
"Peter only likes young beauties like Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy, while Dr. Otto likes girls who are small but smart. Your orientation after the fusion is somewhat abnormal."
"I don't need to live according to Peter or Otto's ideas and habits!"
Zhang Parker rolled his eyes and walked into his building with Mason and Harley. Employees everywhere bowed to him along the way, but the big boss was completely arrogant and looked down on everyone.
Only after entering the transparent luxury elevator did he say to Mason and Harley:
"I want to warn you, I am not Peter, nor Otto, and certainly not a combination of the two! I have my own independent personality, so don't mention those two dead people in front of me, okay?"
"But you have Peter's face and use Dr. Otto's technology. Don't you feel a little guilty when you say this?"
Mason looked around. As the elevator quickly ascended, he saw the thirty-story research area in the middle of the building. He said:
"You should at least tell me how you were born, right?"
"It was just an accident, nothing to say."
Zhang Parker put his sunglasses in his suit pocket and waved his hand nonchalantly, saying:
"Peter went to stop Dr. Otto from uploading his soul. The unlucky guy was terminally ill and wanted to take Peter's body, but he underestimated Peter's willpower and had no choice but to die together.
In the ruins of the confrontation between data consciousness, I came back to life, an independent me!"
"Oh, so you could be considered Peter Parker and Dr. Otto's child?"
Harley blinked as she delivered her conclusion.
These words froze Zhang Parker's expression. He wanted to refute but found that Harry's sharp words made him speechless.
I could only glare at Harry and say:
"Well, I do have two fathers, are you satisfied?"
"However, you haven't realized the more serious problem yet, Zhang Parker, or 'Mr. Zhang'."
Mason pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said softly:
"Do you think it's normal that we, as strangers, can become so familiar with each other after only talking for less than ten sentences? You are accepting us, and the two remnants of your consciousness believe that we are trustworthy, so you also let down your guard against us.
Of course, I am not implying any facts that may make you uncomfortable, Mr. Zhang.
I just want to tell you that we are indeed trustworthy, please trust your spider senses and octopus wisdom.
I will tell you everything you want to know, but I just saw a large energy tracker in your laboratory, and I need you to help me find something around the world!"
"Why should I help you?"
Zhang Parker leaned against the luxurious elevator. This eccentric and difficult guy sneered and said:
"Everything you see was created by me bit by bit. I admit that I am a selfish guy, but I have not let down the two people in your memory.
Doctor Octopus is determined to shock the world with his wisdom.
So I started Parker Industries, and I published enough papers to win three Nobel Prizes.
Spider-Man is intent on protecting his city.
So after I became a billionaire on par with Tony Stark, I still kept my secret identity, as you saw before...
I will never let go of anyone who makes this city sad!
I crushed four of the Sinister Six, scared the living shit out of the Green Goblin, and crippled the pathetic Scorpion.
I eradicated the Water Snake Gang and drove away all the vampires entrenched in the city! Any super villains who dared to make trouble here would be discovered by the surveillance cameras I set up throughout the city, and then they would be punished by me.
Do you know?
After a few years of being active as Spider-Man, this city has become the safest place on the continent, and it's all because of me!
I even support Aunt May...
Uh, speaking of this, when you see Aunt Mei later, you can say that you are my college classmates, okay?
Aunt May doesn't want me hanging around fighting evil all day.
Old people always think very simply.
She thought that now that she had money, she should live a good life. I didn't want to make her worry anymore. She didn't have many years left to live, so I lied and said that the Spider-Man who was out there was my successor. "
"You still say you are not them?"
Harley held her belly and laughed loudly and said:
"You try your best to fulfill their wishes. You don't have a life of your own at all, poor little Zhang."
"Heh, who said I didn't? You ignorant big ass chick."
Zhang Parker snorted.
The next moment, the elevator door opened, and what came into view were three hot bunny girl sweethearts who gave "Mr. Zhang" a passionate kiss and helped him take off his outer clothes and put on more comfortable home clothes.
As Mason and Harley stared in astonishment, the high-altitude viewing villa in front of them, which was built by connecting three floors, was filled with hot beauties walking around in simple clothes.
There is no doubt that the rich and handsome Mr. Zhang maintains rather improper relationships with each of them.
Before he had taken twenty steps, Mr. Zhang's neck was covered with lipstick marks of various colors. From his heartfelt smile, it was clear that Mr. Zhang very much enjoyed this decadent life surrounded by singing and dancing.
"Is this guy the Chosen One of Slaanesh?"
Mason stared at the two supermodel "pets" riding on the rainbow unicorn model in front of him. He complained to Harley, who also had her eyes wide open:
"This is too much, are his kidneys made of vibranium?"
"But don't you notice, sweetheart?"
Harley quickly realized something was wrong with her woman's intuition. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Mason's ear:
"Look at the figures and hair of these women! They are basically a mix of Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy... Xiao Zhang is so pitiful, he talks about being independent, but he really doesn't have a life that truly belongs to him.
He can’t even decide for himself which women he likes.”
"But that doesn't stop him from being really happy..."
Mason looked back at Zhang Parker, who was lifted up by five big blond babies and thrown on the heart-shaped bed and was still laughing. He shook his head and said softly:
"That kind of happiness cannot be faked. All the regrets of Peter and Dr. Otto were made up by his own hands, and he was able to enjoy this life of a stitched freak with peace of mind.
To be honest, I used to feel a little sorry for him.
But now, I think it's good for him to continue Slaanesh like this. Uh, except that it's not good for his kidneys, there's no big problem."
"Oh, so you're jealous? Mason Cooper!"
Harley whispered in his ear.
This time the subject is not sweetheart or Mr. K, but Mason's full name... Oops! Is Quinn coming out?
"You'll be in for a treat tonight!"
Quinn tugged on Mason's ear hard, making him feel frightened.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, let's get down to business."
Mason coughed and said something to Mr. Zhang who was kissing a big chocolate-colored babe. Although the latter complained, he quickly got up and took them to a higher level.
When I opened the door, I saw a graceful old lady watering the flowers on the balcony. She had a kind face and silver hair. She was no longer young, but still looked energetic.
As she moved, Mason noticed that the old lady was clearly supported by some kind of auxiliary power device, which should be the elderly protection device developed by Zhang Parker specifically for Aunt May.
Mr. Zhang, who had a weird look on his face and shouted that he wanted to enjoy life just now, suddenly became like a different person when he saw her. A pure and gentle smile appeared on his face, and he quickly walked up to Aunt Mei and started chatting with her.
"Give me the camera."
Mason whispered to Harley.
Ms. Robin immediately handed over the camera, and Mason captured the scene.
In the afternoon sunshine, Aunt May listened to Parker's chatter with a happy face. She was surrounded by thriving flowers. The luxurious house represented that the old woman's old age would no longer require her to worry about replacing a coffee machine.
"Peter would love this picture."
Mason took out the memory card and put it in his pocket. He said to Harley:
"Old Peter over there dreamed of seeing such a scene when he was young. Perhaps Mr. Zhang really helped him fulfill some of his wishes."
"So he's not a bad guy?"
Harry asked, Mason nodded, and said pertinently:
"He's not a good guy in the traditional sense, but he's definitely not bad enough to need to be destroyed. Let's go up and say hello to Aunt Mei, and then we should get down to business."
The two claimed to be Parker's classmates and came to visit, so Aunt May was naturally very happy.
After she had no worries about food and clothing, she had been worried about Parker's personal life. After all, after surviving the disaster, he decisively broke up with Mary Jane, with whom he was about to marry, which made Aunt May very worried.
A few minutes later, on the top floor of Parker Building, Mr. Zhang frowned as he looked at the various information about the Skrulls and the parallel world system unlocked on the supercomputer in front of him. He was speechless for a long time.
He didn't think Mason would lie to him about something like this.
It is not something that ordinary people can create such a huge system out of thin air. What's more, when Mason showed him the devil tattoo, Zhang Parker realized that what he saw really came from an organization that could travel through parallel worlds.
"But the impact... no!"
Zhang Parker sat on the swivel chair, propped his chin with both hands and said to Mason in front of him:
"You said that there have been three impacts, but there has been no movement on our side. Seventeen years ago was not a critical juncture. As far as I can remember, nothing worthy of attention happened at that time.
This made me wonder if your description of the shock was a hoax, however, the math made me realize that you couldn’t be lying about this sort of thing.”
"This proves that your world was lucky enough to have three byes..."
Mason looked at Mr. Zhang and said:
"Do you believe it?"
"No, I don't believe it! It's impossible from a probabilistic point of view."
Mr. Zhang said seriously:
"If what you said is true, it means that there is something wrong with my world. Perhaps this is why the Skrulls secretly invaded here. Do you have a device to detect Skrulls?"
"Do you suspect your building has been invaded?"
Mason took out the biological bait bomb and handed it to Mr. Zhang, who said seriously:
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty! Although Parker Industries is far smaller than Stark Industries in size, the technological capabilities we possess have surpassed Stark in some areas.
If I were a Skrull I would not let go of such an important position.
In particular, Parker Industries has been tasked with upgrading the communications network for government facilities in North America since two years ago.”
"Then you have to be more careful."
Mason pointed at the biological bait bomb in Parker's hand and said:
"This method won't be effective for long. I've used it in other places, but if the Skrulls have any technological capabilities, they must be upgrading their methods to deal with genetic disruption now.
Also, I need you to help me track this down."
He took out Slytherin's locket, placed it on the table and said to Mr. Zhang:
"There is a special magical residue on this thing. You can think of it as a trace of energy with a special frequency. It was left by my friend. With the help of Parker Industries' satellite, we should be able to capture the same signal worldwide."
“Do you know how expensive that satellite is?”
Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes and asked in a capitalist manner:
"Do you know how much money I'm going to lose if you shut down the service for several days because of your incident?"
"Benefits, right?"
Mason snapped his fingers and lightly stroked the table. A dozen bottles of medicines of different colors were neatly arranged. He said:
"Pick any bottle. It will definitely make up for your losses."
"I don't trust magic."
Mr. Zhang narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said:
"science and technology……"
"Bang"
Mason placed something on the table, and with a slight flick, it rolled and landed in front of Mr. Zhang.
It was a bottle of purple liquid with the Pym Technologies logo on the outer shell.
Mr. Zhang is obviously a connoisseur.
He immediately picked it up and took out a detector from the drawer and put it in. After a few seconds, he showed a hypocritical smile unique to businessmen, stood up, held out his hand to Mason, and said:
"Pym particles, cutting-edge technology! I'll take the job. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Mason."
"My little cutie and I need a safe place to stay."
Mason looked out the window as the sky darkened. He reached out and shook hands with Zhang Parker and said :
"Can I borrow a house temporarily?"
"Of course, the entire three streets in Queens are now mine, and you can live in Park House, the villa area across the street, and take any room you like.
I promise it will be safe and undisturbed.”
Mr. Zhang generously gave Mason an authorization card and hinted with a look that all men understand:
"If you need more attentive service, just tell the smart butler. Don't be embarrassed. This is how the big shots are arranged when they visit Parker Industries, so they always like to come to me.
But that's not a bad thing.
There are plenty of big-breasted, brainless blonde sweethearts out there who want to make a lot of money by selling their youth, and as a responsible entrepreneur, I will naturally provide them with such job opportunities.
Maybe I can get close to some big shot who can provide me with some connections in the future."
"If it were a different scenario, I would have advised you to pick a street lamp for yourself before you committed suicide by being shot eight times, Xiao Zhang."
Mason whispered:
"Hurry up, my friend may not be able to hold on for much longer."
