Chapter 59 - The Truth of the Mutation

Harry continued, relaying the information and data he'd gathered.

"The Osborn Group once researched a mutated spider. This spider's silk was incredibly strong and could be used in many fields."

"Later, my father, in an effort to cure the genetic disease that runs in our family, searched everywhere for a solution. He then discovered the special properties of that mutated spider."

"My father restarted the research on the mutated spider, not to create wealth this time, but to solve the genetic disease."

"My father researched many types, and finally, he obtained the most superior spider, which is the type of mutated spider currently used by the Osborn Group. This spider is much more special than the first generation, but it wasn't very useful in solving the genetic disease."

"Finally, after obtaining enough data from the mutated spider project, my father stopped research. This spider also replaced the first-generation spider, and was used to produce silk, which was then applied to various projects and fields."

"Based on Peter's experience, I think it was this type of spider that bit him, because this spider is on display in the science museum."

Harry looked at Peter as he spoke, and Peter also had a look of sudden understanding.

Then Harry continued, looking at Gwen, "Regarding Gwen's mutation, it has to do with a spider created by an accident during later research."

"About two years ago, a new spider emerged from that group of mutated spiders. The experimenters named it 'Muse' because it was unique and a beautiful accidental creation."

"Unlike the previous mutated spiders, its various data were slightly weaker, but it possessed some special abilities that the previous mutated spiders lacked."

"One day, this spider suddenly disappeared from the Osborn Group's laboratory. The experimenters initially thought it had escaped and searched the entire lab. However, they eventually found it in its original location, only hidden."

"After that, it disappeared many times as well, but it was the same as before, simply staying in place and concealing itself."

"Finally, about a year ago, it disappeared again. Because of the previous disappearances, the researchers also thought it had hidden itself again. It wasn't until recently, when I reorganized Osborn Company, that those researchers realized it was truly gone."

"It seems that it must have mixed in with the mutated spiders used for the exhibition, then was brought to the science and technology museum, and finally bit Gwen."

Everyone present finally understood the reason for Peter and Gwen's mutations.

Hearing Harry's words, Meng Ran pondered for a moment and then asked, "So why did only Gwen and Peter mutate?"

"Is it because they didn't bite anyone else, or..."

Harry said solemnly, "Because everyone else they bit died."

"If these mutated spiders bite someone, they die too."

"Two of the researchers who were raising the spiders died because their protective suits weren't sealed properly and they were bitten."

"That's why these spiders were sealed when they were put on display, to prevent them from contacting the outside or escaping."

Mary Jane asked thoughtfully, "Then how did the spider that bit Peter and Gwen get out?"

Harry said, "I've checked and investigated with the relevant personnel, and the only possibility we've determined is that the mutated spider escaped with Muse during transportation."

"And then bit Gwen and Peter at different times, causing them to mutate."

With that explanation, all the questions were answered.

"It seems you two are the chosen ones. You mutated instead of dying after being bitten by the spider. There's an idiom in Chinese, 'blessing in disguise,' which perfectly describes your situation," Meng Ran said with a smile, looking at Peter and Gwen.

The others all nodded in agreement. Gwen patted her chest and exhaled, "It seems we were really lucky, nothing happened. It's a bit scary to think about now."

"If we hadn't made it like those two experimenters, that would have been awful."

Peter also nodded, agreeing, "If I died, what would Aunt May and Uncle Ben do?"

Seeing them getting sentimental again, Meng Ran gently stroked Gwen's head and said, "Alright, that didn't happen, so why think about it now? You two are now the famous Ghost and Spider-Man!"

Peter also shamelessly let Mary Jane hug him. The two of them had confirmed their relationship after last year's Christmas, a few days later than Meng Ran.

Harry watched the two couples, who were all over each other, and felt a mix of helplessness and a touch of resentment. He turned to find Liu Xiu, hoping to commiserate with his younger brother in misfortune.

But as soon as he found Liu Xiu, he saw that Liu Xiu, who had just been sitting here, had returned to the food cart at some point and started tidying up.

And there was also a pretty girl standing in front of Liu Xiu, who was moving a table, blushing and whispering something. Then, she took out her phone and added Liu Xiu's contact information.

Harry's face was filled with grief and indignation, as if struck by a bolt of lightning. What kind of world was this? Liu Xiu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, had actually hooked up with a little sister.

We had even stayed up all night playing games together. I even skipped the morning meeting for it. I didn't expect that in the end you would abandon me and the game and choose a pretty girl.

Liu Xiu held the table in one hand and put his phone in his pocket with the other, secretly muttering, "I already said there was no takeout, yet she insisted on exchanging phone numbers. Is this woman not all there? Maybe she has a fever, her face is so red."

After Liu Xiu put away his phone, he folded the table and put it on the food cart. Then, he turned around and saw Harry staring at him with a look of resentment, grief, shock, and helplessness.

Liu Xiu was a little confused. "Why is he looking at me like that?" He cautiously said, "Brother Harry, do you need to use the restroom? I don't have any paper on me. I'll go get some from the food cart for you. Just hold on for a bit."

Then, before Liu Xiu even reached the food truck, his big brother, Harry, let him experience a taste of "brotherly love."

Xiu'er - died.

Afghanistan, Kunar Province. A sharply dressed Tony Stark was sitting in a tan jeep, holding a glass of liquor.

The road was bumpy. Tony swayed in his seat as he held his drink. Although loud music was blasting in the car, the atmosphere was still very awkward and constrained.

Tony took a sip of his drink and looked at the somewhat reserved young soldier sitting beside him. The soldier was only in his early twenties and sat upright, holding his gun. He glanced at Tony from time to time, but quickly averted his gaze, as if afraid of being noticed.

"It feels like you're taking me to a military tribunal."

"This isn't right, what did I do wrong?"

"It's like you're going to shoot me as soon as we stop."

"Are you not allowed to speak? Hey! Forrest Gump!"

Tony didn't like the stuffy atmosphere in the car and joked.

The reserved young man next to him heard Tony and said, "No, sir, we can talk."

Tony looked hurt and realized, "Oh~ I see, you don't want to talk to me."

The clean-cut soldier driving the car said, "No, you just scare them a little."

"Oh! My God! You're a woman... Oh, sorry, I shouldn't say that."

The atmosphere in the car finally eased up thanks to Tony's efforts, and everyone started chatting.

The male soldier in the passenger seat turned around and looked at Tony curiously, "Can I ask a question?"

Tony readily agreed, "Of course." Then he took another sip of his drink.

The male soldier gave a gossipy look and asked, "I heard that you've slept with all twelve of Maxim Magazine's cover girls. Is that true?"

Tony took off his sunglasses and replied, "Good question, partially correct."

"The March girl had a scheduling conflict, but luckily the December cover girls were twins." To be honest, I'm envious.

After answering this question, a somewhat reserved young soldier next to Tony slowly raised his hand, apparently wanting to ask a question as well.

"Any more questions? You're like a kid, why are you raising your hand?" Tony was speechless at the young soldier's action.

The young soldier lowered his hand at the words and then asked, "Can I... can I take a picture with you?"

"Of course! Come over here!" Tony said matter-of-factly.

The young soldier immediately took out a camera and handed it to the man in the passenger seat, then leaned next to Tony, a happy smile on his face.

Tony was also smiling at the camera, cracking jokes.

Suddenly, a barrage of gunfire erupted around them.

BOOM! An armored vehicle driving ahead of them exploded into a fireball.

The people in the vehicles immediately tensed up, ready to fight.

Three soldiers jumped out of their vehicle in succession, only to be taken down by the hail of bullets.

Tony quickly got out of the car, looking for cover while frantically pulling out his phone.

"Whoosh~" A long, thin bomb with the Stark logo landed near Tony.

Seeing it, Tony immediately tried to run, but he was too slow.

Boom!

A massive explosion. Tony was thrown back, dazed. Blood began to seep from his chest, slowly spreading. Then, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
