Rustle--

Luo Mang shook the newspaper.

The corners of his eyes curved slightly, as if he were smiling.

"Looks like you're a big star now, Peter."

He glanced sideways at Peter, who was cautiously holding a supportive stance, his eyes focused intently on Luo Mang's feet.

Seeing Peter's actions, Luo Mang helplessly stuffed the newspaper into his arms.

"Alright, Peter.

I'm not a baby learning to walk; you're overdoing it."

As his lower limbs gradually healed, the sensation Luo Mang had lost returned.

However, having not walked for so long, Luo Mang was a bit rusty.

Last night, when he got off the operating table, he stumbled and fell into Peter's arms.

This caused Peter to be on edge since last night, afraid something might happen to Luo Mang.

Peter looked up, saying nothing, but his eyes met Luo Mang's with a serious gaze.

"Alright, alright, suit yourself."

Luo Mang helplessly straightened his clothes.

Now that he was going out, he had to cover up well; otherwise, just the sight of his green armor would cause endless trouble.

Fortunately, the scales on his hands and feet could retract under his skin.

As for the tail... it could wrap around his waist.

As long as he could become stronger, Luo Mang didn't mind having an extra limb compared to others.

"The adjustments to the Regeneration Serum will be completed soon, and May's finger will be restored."

As if remembering something, Luo Mang looked at Peter with concern, offering comforting words.

After Danny harmed Aunt May, the emergency responders only gave her a simple bandage.

The swelling, heat, and pain, followed by acute infection, all happened within a day.

When Aunt May went back to the hospital for a follow-up, she was told she needed an emergency amputation.

Thus, even though the ring Uncle Ben gave Aunt May was returned, she could no longer wear it.

"I know, I've never worried about that."

Peter lowered his head slightly, pressing his lips together, his demeanor somewhat dejected.

The guilt in his heart was relentless.

If he had been there at the time, perhaps Uncle Ben wouldn't have been harmed.

If he had killed Danny sooner, instead of clinging to some ridiculous no-kill justice, perhaps Aunt May wouldn't have lost her finger, and Luo Mang wouldn't have been shot.

Thinking of this, Peter's fists clenched involuntarily.

But in the next second, a clear ringtone pulled his thoughts back.

"Hello."

Luo Mang answered the phone, his tone friendly.

"Luo, do you remember me?"

"Of course, Miss Pepper, you're my benefactor."

Luo Mang replied warmly, already having a guess about Pepper's call, but he still feigned ignorance and asked.

"Is there something you need my help with?

As I mentioned last time, I have some special experience in certain areas."

Hearing Luo Mang's words, Pepper on the other end of the line breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Tony's incident, she had exhausted every connection she could think of, but to no avail. In desperation, she thought of Luo Mang.

"In that case, I'll be straightforward.

Tony is in trouble, and reports of his disappearance are everywhere. I believe you've heard.

I hope you can bring him back safe and sound..."

At this point, Pepper paused, and Luo Mang could hear her breathing through the phone.

"You are Tony's last hope, Luo. I'll agree to any request you have!"

At this moment, Pepper no longer had the demeanor of someone in a high position, her tone filled with pleading.

"I will bring him back."

Luo Mang's voice was calm and steady, without a hint of fluctuation.

"I can give you... what?!"

Pepper's voice was filled with disbelief, and she quickly confirmed again.

"I said, I will bring him back."

Luo Mang's calm voice seemed to carry immense confidence.

Upon hearing Luo Mang's agreement, Pepper felt a significant weight lift from her heart.

But before she could continue speaking, Luo Mang's voice came through again.

"I don't need any agreements or benefits, but I can promise to bring Mr. Stark back to New York safe and sound."

"Why?"

Pepper couldn't help but ask.

As Tony's capable assistant, she had seen too many profit-seekers.

In the face of profit, they could abandon all morals, so Pepper was used to offering enticing conditions.

But someone like Luo Mang, who asked for nothing in return, was a first for her.

"Because you and Mr. Stark saved me once. The ancient Eastern country values reciprocity, doesn't it?"

Luo Mang's voice rose slightly, the tone thin as ice.

Hearing Luo Mang's reason, Pepper covered her mouth in surprise.

She hadn't expected that a 'birthday gift' she had casually chosen would come back to her in such a way when she needed it most.

"Luo, if you can save Tony, you'll gain Stark's friendship!"

Pepper promised seriously, word by word.

Of course, if Tony didn't return, Stark would effectively disappear, and friendship would be out of the question.

"Give me some time."

Luo Mang nodded, not refusing this time.

Luo Mang's goal was to survive in this god-filled Marvel Universe and take control of his own destiny.

And as some Marvel fans dubbed him the 'Son of Marvel,' the most 'human' existence in the Marvel Universe.

Befriending Tony Stark could only be beneficial, not harmful.

Because when something happens, this carefree playboy would never forget this 'favor.'

Playboy, young genius, head of Stark Industries...

This person, who should be the most heartless, is, in critical moments, the most loyal.

Otherwise, Tony wouldn't have kept his graduation project from MIT—a small arm.

"Did you hear that?"

Luo Mang hung up the phone and turned to Peter.

This task might be challenging for him alone.

The Ten Rings were using weapons researched by Tony, and their value was self-evident.

If Peter could accompany him, the whole matter would become much simpler.

"Yes, the Ten Rings, they're a cancer on the world, and I need to bring them back to where they belong!"

Peter nodded heavily, a sharp glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't just to help Luo Mang that he agreed.

With great power comes great responsibility!

Peter intended to 'assist' the Rings in going to hell!

His fingers inadvertently brushed the hem of his clothes, revealing a jet-black tight combat suit.

Faintly visible was the scarlet spider emblem on his chest.

But this spider was even more ferocious and terrifying than Peter initially envisioned.

As if it would crush all the world's injustices and sins.

Using fear to control the darkness in people's hearts!
