Chapter 817
“When I returned to my old home, I was shocked to see that somebody else had lived there for a year. It was chaotic that the people there didn’t know who I was, and a grandma who lived there thought I was a ghost! But thanks to our Spiderman, I can move on with my life!” Aunt May said with a humorous laugh of her.
She was at a charity party, and one of her subjects was Spiderman himself, wearing the iconic Iron Spider suit. Fiery applause was heard as everyone cheered for her and Spiderman.
All these guests here today would contribute to the stability of the society, such as helping some homeless people that have been returned by the blip! Of course, this charity wasn’t hosted by Aunt May as she wouldn’t be capable of inviting so many rich and influential people like this. But it was hosted by none other than Stark Industries, which had already donated 50 million US dollars.
The charity organization that managed the event even had an optimistic goal of raising 100 million US dollars by the end of the day.
But the event wasn’t led by Tony. It was led by none other than Happy himself as the Managing CEO of Stark Industries! Of course, Tony knew about all this, but he didn’t have any complaints about it. Tony was the one that added one more zero in Happy’s donation as Happy originally only wanted to donate 5 million US dollars.
For a rich man like Tony, 50 million dollars wasn’t that big of a deal. In his retirement, Tony already stopped caring about the money that he spent. So, as long as Happy didn’t destroy Stark Industries for nothing, he didn’t care about anything else.
“Thank you for Ms. Parker for inviting me here, and umm, that’s it!” Spiderman said awkwardly, but as she knew that Peter wouldn’t know what to say, Aunt May immediately took over once again.
“Of course, I am also thankful that Spiderman comes to our Charity Event despite your busy schedule. He will also take some photos with everyone later, so look forward to that!” Aunt May said cheerfully.
“Oh god, I am so nervous!” Peter said to Aunt May after they left the stage.
“Relax, you are doing a good job!” Aunt May said, cheering Peter up.
“Really? I feel like I am too stiff!” Peter said worriedly.
“That is also true! You are too stiff right now, calm yourself down and relax!” Aunt May said as she was being honest with Peter.
“Now, is your passport ready? You already bought your travel toothpaste, right?” Aunt May asked worriedly.
“Huh, yeah! I already prepared everything.” Peter said surprisedly. The door suddenly opened, and Peter, who wasn’t wearing his mask right now, was startled and immediately started fumbling to wear his mask again, but the one who walked in was luckily none other than Happy.
“Happy!” Peter greeted cheerfully. However, he was ignored just like always.
“You are so beautiful today, is it the new dress?” Happy said to Aunt May immediately.
“Well, you are also very handsome right now, especially with your scruffy beard, it is very sexy!” Aunt May said teasingly.
“Hey, this is my Blip mustache!” Happy said cheerfully.
“You are hilarious!” Aunt May said flirtatiously, completely ignoring Peter on the side. Peter started to look left and right awkwardly as he thought he wasn’t supposed to hear any of this flirting. Even if Peter had a low EQ, he knew that Aunt May and Happy’s relationship was a little bit unusual.
“Oh, I have to change the catering soon, it is time to bring out the vegetarian main course! Peter, remember to come out to shake some hands and take some photos!” Aunt May said as she left the room, leaving Happy with Peter alone.
“What was that?” Peter asked curiously. But as always, Happy just ignored Peter and changed the topic immediately.
“Nick Fury called for you!” Happy said stoically.
“Nick Fury called for me? why?” Peter asked curiously.
“He wants you to do some ‘Hero’ stuff for him, of course!” Happy said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“Uh, I mean, what happened for him to call me? Why didn’t he call someone else?” Peter asked curiously, but his phone suddenly rang before he got his answer.
“Obviously, he wants you! Look, that caller is an unknown number. He called you personally! Now, answer the phone!” Happy said casually.
“No, I don’t want to talk to Nick Fury!” Peter whined.
“Just answer it now!” Happy said annoyedly.
“Why?” Peter asked nervously.
“Because, if you don’t answer the phone, he might call me, or even worse, he might come here himself! And I don’t want any of that to happen!” Happy makes his point.
Peter turned his attention to his phone, and with a long exhausted sigh, he finally hung up Nick Fury’s call!
“You rejected his call?” Happy said as he was startled by the audacity he witnessed.
“Yes, and I also blocked him too!” Peter said like it was the most normal thing to do.
“You blocked him? No! you can’t do that!” Happy said like he witnessed some terrible accident.
“Relax, I will call him back when I have the time! I still have things to do right now, and haven’t you heard? The people outside are already chanting my name! See you later, Happy!” Peter said as he wore his mask again and walked out the door. Peter had already made his decision. He doesn’t want to waste his hard-won School Trip just to do Nick Fury’s order. His confession plan couldn’t fail before they even started!
Happy wanted to chase Peter, but as Peter walked out of the room, Happy’s phone started to ring. It was so obvious that Nick Fury called him this time. Happy sighed and answered the phone, and he immediately took a step back as it seemed Nick Fury started yelling.
“What? Hang up on you? What? No way! I don’t know anything about that! But he is a little bit busy right now. He said that he will call you back as soon as he is done with whatever he is doing right now!” Happy explained nervously.
At the same time, a large group of reporters had been waiting for Spiderman outside and immediately swarmed Peter as soon as he walked out of the room. The flash from the camera started to blind his eyes, but the mask that was created from titanium alloy completely covered the excess lights from damaging his eyes.
“Are you the leader of the Avengers now that everyone else has disappeared?” A reporter asked curiously.
“No, I am not! Stop talking nonsense!” Peter said as he was weirded out by the question.
“So, if aliens come back and attack again, what are you going to do?” Another reporter asked.
“I will certainly hold out as long as I can. I trust that Mr. Stark will come up with a plan if that event ever happens again.” Peter said confidently.
“Tony Stark has publicly stated that you are his successor. Do you have any thoughts about it?” Another Reporter asked.
“I guess Mr. Stark had a lot of drinks that day. He wouldn’t make such a joke with a clear mind!” Peter said with an awkward laugh. Although Peter was trying to make some laugh, he clearly failed as none of the reporters seemed amused at all.
But right when another reporter wanted to ask him some other questions, Peter bid them farewell and swung away without another word. Leaving all the reporters behind!
