That's right, in "The Amazing Spider-Man," Peter Parker infiltrated Osborn Company to investigate his parents' disappearance, was accidentally bitten, and became Spider-Man.
He couldn't let this kid ruin his plan.
Seeing Peter Parker in the crowd grow increasingly restless, about to slip into the spider breeding lab, Rayne finally made his move.
"Hey, student, this is a confidential company breeding lab and not part of the school tour," a clear and elegant voice quickly drew the attention of many.
Peter Parker was extremely awkward and nervous after Rayne patted him on the shoulder.
But just then, Gwen also noticed what was happening.
Especially after seeing Rayne and Peter, she was first surprised, then astonished.
Immediately, Gwen, as the lab's organizer, quickly walked over, gave Rayne a playful glare, and then looked at Peter Parker.
"Peter, what are you doing here? I don't remember you being on the school tour list."
"I, uh, Gwen, um..."
"You didn't sneak in, did you? Buddy, this is no joke."
"Huh? No, I didn't, I just..."
"Alright, Peter, this isn't where you should be. If the company security catches you, you'll be sent to the Police station."
Under Gwen's mediation, Peter eventually left Osborn Company, feeling awkward and disappointed.
Only then did Gwen look at Rayne.
Rayne shrugged and said, "My dear, don't look at me like that. I didn't sneak in. In fact, I just inherited a fortune and am now a shareholder of Osborn Group."
"I have authorization for internal company tours. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ms. Marlena. She is Mr. Osborn's secretary."
Hearing Rayne's words, Marlena understood something and nodded very kindly to Gwen.
Gwen was stunned for a long time after hearing this news, somewhat speechless.
Rayne smiled and said, "Ms. Gwen, I'm your boss now. Why don't you greet your boss?"
Gwen rolled her eyes at Rayne and said, "Greet your big head, ghost."
The young couple started bickering.
However, when they touched, Gwen felt a slight prickling sensation on her arm, thinking it was a static electricity reaction, and didn't give it much thought.
Meanwhile, Rayne, without a change in expression, casually put the radioactive spider he had taken from the spider breeding lab into a small box and tucked it into his pocket.
After the two of them bantered for a while, Gwen remembered her work and said, somewhat reluctantly, "Rayne, I have to go to work. Professor Connors still needs me."
As she said this, Gwen kept staring intently at Rayne.
Rayne understood her meaning and immediately replied, "How about dinner after work this afternoon?"
Gwen was delighted but, in a charmingly haughty manner, said, "Alright, seeing as you're so sincere, I'll give you a chance."
After speaking, Gwen kissed Rayne on the cheek and then left happily.
After Gwen left, Marlena appropriately said, "Director Rayne, should we inform Professor Connors to take care of Ms. Gwen?"
Rayne shook his head with an unreadable expression and said, "Not for now, Ms. Marlena. You can tell Norman that I will stand with him at the board meeting."
"However, I hope to obtain partial leading authorization for Professor Connors' project."
"For this, I can invest over 100 million U.S. dollars in this project."
"Um, if necessary, Mr. Norman can contact me anytime for a more detailed discussion."
"As for now, Ms. Marlena, it seems we won't have lunch together. As you can see, I have a wonderful date tonight."
"I think I have a lot to prepare for the entire afternoon."
Chapter 16: taiyin jade ring, Five Yin Ghosts
Under Marlena's somewhat ambiguous and envious gaze, Rayne left Osborn Company very decisively.
Just as Rayne said, there was a lot to prepare for that entire afternoon.
There was no need to worry about Gwen becoming Ghost Spider.
Firstly, according to the Luofu World's saying, Gwen herself has the destiny to become Spider-Man.
Secondly, before helping Gwen become Ghost Spider, Rayne had already imprinted twelve Rejuvenation Talismans in her body.
These twelve Rejuvenation Talismans were the result of Rayne cultivating for a full year with his Perfection Qi Refining cultivation.
Even if Gwen failed to fuse with the spider serum and her genes collapsed, they could keep her perfectly intact.
Rayne's return to the underground palace was to prepare for his Foundation Establishment.
In a capitalist society, the allure of money is still very strong.
Gwen and Rayne were already in love, and now that she discovered Rayne was also a shareholder of Osborn Group, a definite diamond bachelor, she was probably ready to give herself to him tonight.
And once Gwen gave herself, Rayne would also directly Foundation Establishment through the Yin Yang Harmonious Union Path.
Therefore, Rayne needed to prepare enough Yin and Yang Qi in advance.
The Pure Yang Qi was easy to deal with; Rayne had already accumulated it with his Lifebound Treasure, the Pure Yang Golden Bell, and could call upon it at any time.
But for Pure Yin Qi, Rayne needed to lock and store it with a Magic Treasure.
Fortunately, Rayne had been preparing for Foundation Establishment for a long time.
As early as a year ago, Rayne had already 'procured' some metal ore obtained from the moon through a secret channel from an official of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Taiyin Divine Iron, combined with the essence of five metals extracted from a large amount of gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin.
Rayne used the Five Ghosts Void Condensation Art of the Heavenly Ghost Sect from the Luofu World to smelt the spirits of countless people who died tragically, refining a taiyin jade ring, which had been nurtured in the Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace for a full 365 days.
This taiyin jade ring, forged by combining both Righteous Path and Demonic Path methods, was similar to the Supreme Lord Laozi's Vajra Bracelet.
Once refined, it had many uses such as smashing people, binding, magic suppression, and storage.
Within the ring-shaped space of the taiyin jade ring, there were even Five Yin Ghosts, refined from the mutual devouring and tempering of countless spirits, capable of devouring all flesh and Soul, expanding the storage space, and self-evolving Magic Treasure Restrictions.
It's not that Rayne didn't want to refine Magic Treasures using purely Righteous Path methods.
It's just that in this damned Marvel Universe, all extraordinary energies, Heaven And Earth Treasures, and other existences had already been completely divided up by those Dimensional Gods.
A clever housewife cannot cook without rice.
So Rayne could only use many Demonic Path methods to strengthen himself.
Anyway, there was no Heavenly Dao Karma or Lightning Tribulation in this Marvel World.
In this Western World full of barbarians, what's wrong with using Demonic Path methods forged from a bit of flesh and Soul? He diligently arranged for the collection of corpses, which was also very hard work, okay?
If America's environmental protection organizations knew, they would at least have to send him some banners.
Speaking of which, he was also an environmentalist, so he had some buffs added to him.
After returning to the underground palace, Rayne quickly cast a spell, taking out a jade ring from the Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace, which looked like a five-colored gem and glowed with a shimmering light.
On the jade ring, there were countless intricate Heavenly Talisman Cloud Seals, forming patterns of Restrictions.
Slightly infusing some starlight Spiritual Qi, the taiyin jade ring immediately emitted a radiance like the Taiyin moonlight, and through the ring-shaped Void Realm, one could seemingly see a World filled with rolling black mist.
In that black mist World, there were five extremely Yin malevolent ghosts, devouring all tangible and intangible things, and then spewing out extremely Yin cold Qi, freezing space and continuously expanding that space.
"What fierce Five Yin Ghosts! Barbarians are barbarians; even their Souls are full of savage ferocity, hmph."
When the taiyin jade ring appeared, the Five Yin Ghosts within it tried to devour their master, attempting to consume Rayne's Divine Thought.
However, as Rayne's eyes shone with golden light, a Pure Yang Golden Bell Shadow manifested, sending out waves of bell sounds, and immediately, golden hoops fell upon the heads of the Five Yin Ghosts.
With the sound of the bell, even without much reason, the Five Yin Ghosts writhed in pain.
In less than ten minutes, the Five Yin Ghosts, by instinct, knelt in the black mist of the Void Realm, repeatedly kowtowing in Rayne's direction, howling in some unknown language, very mournfully.
Another five minutes later, seeing the Five Yin Ghosts spit out their Lifebound True Spirits, which Rayne collected into the Red Dust Heart Refining Furnace and branded with his mark, only then did the Five Yin Ghosts completely surrender.
"They're like dogs; they don't know what reverence is until they're beaten."
"For a whole year, you devoured so many of my resources, now spit out a taiyin jade ring for me."
