Peter, whose injuries had been bandaged, came into the living room and looked at Lauren, who was sitting on the sofa like a king. His expression was very complicated.
Sometimes, thinking about it, he truly felt that this World was very unfair.
This Gunman in front of him was already so rich, with such a prominent family background, yet God had also given him a face so handsome that even men would be jealous!
With such looks, he could really do whatever he wanted. He was already surrounded by beautiful women, but Gwen, his crush, was still thinking about him and was unwilling to give up.
Looking at himself, he worked so hard, so diligently, yet he had an ordinary appearance and achieved nothing. His goddess, Gwen, had never been moved by him.
Now, even Venom, the only thing that could lead him to the peak of his life, had been taken away by the other party.
And whether he could continue to use it depended on Lauren, which was truly too unfair!
However, thinking that Lauren had also sent someone to save him today, he sighed inwardly and stopped feeling depressed.
Because some things really couldn't be achieved by effort alone. He had accepted his fate.
"Peter, how are you? Are you alright?"
Seeing Peter come out, Lauren asked with concern.
Although the Peter Parker in front of him was different from the incredibly kind and friendly neighborhood Spider-Man he remembered, he was still his classmate after all.
And from the observation during this period, although the Peter Parker of this World was not as full of a sense of justice, his heart was still good, at least he hadn't gone astray.
Even after being parasitic by Venom, he didn't become a villain.
Instead, under the name of Venom Spider, he was learning from Spider-Miss Gwen's example to fight crime, attempting to become a superhero.
Based on this alone, he could tell that even if Peter was bad, he wouldn't be too bad.
"Thank you for your concern. Because of the protection of your two guards, I'm not in any serious danger, but Lauren, can you return Venom to me?"
Although he kept telling himself not to bring up the topic of the Symbiote with Lauren so early, he ultimately couldn't hold back, because Venom was simply too important to him.
Lauren was not surprised at all by Peter's eagerness to get Venom back.
Because the meaning of Venom to Peter was the same as the meaning of the Dimensional Technology System to himself; they were both their cheats, the golden fingers that helped them reach the peak of their lives.
Now that Peter's cheat had been taken away by him, it would be strange if he wasn't anxious.
"The Symbiote Venom, I can return it to you, but you have to do something for me."
"You and I are friends. As long as I can help, I definitely will."
Hearing that Lauren was willing to return Venom to him, a smile finally appeared on Peter's face.
"Having you say that is enough. I need you to tell me the hiding place of Kurt Connors."
"!!!!!"
Peter seemed not to have expected that Lauren's purpose for finding him was this. Since the last time he personally witnessed Kurt transform into the Lizard Monster, several groups of people had come looking for him.
One of them was the chairman of the Osborn Group, Harry's Father, Mr. Norman.
Another was a middle-aged Gunman in a sharp suit who said he was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
Both of these men had come to him and both hoped to get information about his mentor, Dr. Connors, from him.
But he had sent them away by saying he didn't know where Kurt had gone.
He hadn't expected that Lauren would also ask him, which was too strange.
If the former was Kurt's Boss, who out of concern wanted to know Kurt's whereabouts, and the latter was investigating the case and needed to find Kurt.
Then what was the reason for Lauren in front of him?
This couldn't help but make a hint of doubt appear in his eyes.
"What's wrong? You look like you're in a difficult position?"
Seeing Peter fall silent, Lauren smiled and said.
"Lauren, I really want to help you, but... but ever since Dr. Connors had an accident in the lab last time, he disappeared, and I don't know where he went."
"Peter, are you sure you're not trying to fool me?"
"Of course, you are my best classmate, I truly consider you a friend."
"Is that so? But no one has ever said that Dr. Connors disappeared because he had an accident in the lab! Where did you hear that?"
"What!!!"
"Peter, lying requires talent. Every time you lie, you unconsciously touch your nose. You don't seem to truly consider me your friend."
Lauren looked at Peter with a half-smile, revealing his lie without ceremony.
Hearing Lauren say this, Peter's face immediately showed guilt.
Then he stammered, "Lauren, I... I didn't mean to lie to you, it's because I promised Dr. Connors that I would never reveal his information, otherwise he would be in trouble."
"If I tell you that I have a way to restore him to normal, to make him stop turning into the Lizard Monster, would you still not tell me?"
"What! You... you even know that the Lizard Monster is Dr. Connors?"
"Of course, what I know is far beyond your imagination. If you truly consider me a friend, and truly want to help Dr. Connors, then tell me his whereabouts. Now, only I can help him."
Seeing Lauren so confident, Peter hesitated for a while, then silently nodded.
"Dr. Kurt Connors doesn't trust anyone but me now. Even if I tell you his hiding place, you likely won't be able to see him.
Because he can establish a connection with reptiles within a certain range, so once a stranger approaches, he will sense it in advance and directly slip away. You need me to go with you," Peter explained.
"Okay, A2, you will go with Peter later to see Kurt and bring him back!"
"Yes, Boss!"
"Alright, since you are willing to help me, I will return this Symbiote to you!"
Saying this, Lauren picked up the glass bottle containing Venom, and then crushed the glass bottle with his hand.
As the glass bottle shattered, Venom did not immediately crawl towards Peter. Instead, it stayed on Lauren's hand and then merged into Lauren's arm.
But constrained by Lauren's terrifying deterrence, it didn't dare to go deeper, nor did it dare to completely merge with Lauren.
But even so, it made Venom fall into an irresistible state.
Immediately, an evil face was revealed, full of infatuation, saying, "Motherfucker, I have never seen such a powerful body. This damned kingly aura, I love this feeling to death.
My respected Boss, may I become your loyal servant? Can I parasitize your body, can I merge with you?"
At this moment, Venom had none of its original evilness. Instead, it looked like a husky, staring at Lauren with shining eyes, full of anticipation.
As for his previous host, Peter, it seemed he had been thrown to the back of its mind.
"?????" Peter.
