The Ancestors: From Gwen to Spider-Man

Chapter 32 Heartbroken Old Father George

Chapter 21

After a day of official duties, dragging his exhausted body and mind, George drove home.

In middle age, after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, he cherishes everything he has now even more.

Be it his career or his family.

Of course, it is inevitable that every middle-aged man will sit quietly in the car after get off work, enjoy the peace of mind, and then think about life.

George sighed deeply, a little frowning.

More than half a month ago, he discovered that the outstanding, well-behaved, and sensible daughter was actually the masked vigilante Spider-Woman whom he had been denouncing and resisting!

The mind of the New York police chief collapsed on the spot.

All the thoughts about Spider-Woman's mistake were wiped out of his mind in an instant, leaving only the old father's thought of "Oh my God, why is she acting like this!"

Seeing his daughter crying for him made his heart ache almost to melt.

These days, George does a lot.

The first thing is to use power to unify the police station's attitude towards Spider-Woman from top to bottom, and to issue the Medal of Honor, provide a lot of support, and so on.

But that didn't allay his worries.

Having fought these superhuman criminals face to face and alongside his own daughter, George is well aware of the dangers of this profession.

Whether it is the danger brought by the confrontation with these superhuman criminals, or the hidden dangers brought to family and friends around.

Not to mention the impact on her future work, love, and marriage!
George began to worry that his daughter would not be able to marry...

Damn, obviously Gwen is so good and cute.

I heard that even Stark's tens of billionaires have officially announced their debut as a hero recently, George pressed his temple, his eyes showed confusion,

What's wrong with this world?
Is he old?Or the world is changing too fast.

I remember that when he was young, he always rushed to the front line to fight wits and courage with the gangsters, but I don’t know when superheroes and villains became popular.

Thinking that life must have a head, George finally got out of the car and went home.

His virtuous wife, Helen, opened the door for him. The two sons were playing in the living room, and everything was fine.

"Where's Gwen?" George asked.

"She's still in the room." Helen's expression was a little off.

George, who was preconceived, suddenly became nervous, "What's the matter? Is she injured?"

"What are you talking about?" Helen gave George a strange look, "Gwen is fine, why did she get hurt?"

"Then she is..."

Helen pursed her lips and said, "Come here."

Putting on his slippers, George followed Helen to Gwen's room.

I saw the room.Gwen was picking out the clothes in the closet infrequently, but she still couldn't make up her mind.

Helen said, "She's been like this for an hour."

George's expression is wonderful.

Well, the daughter is fine, but to some extent, there seems to be something bigger...

He felt even more congested.

"Dad, which one do you think looks better?" Gwen asked when George came back.

"Ahem," George cleared his throat, "you look good in either, honey."

Gwen frowned, "Okay, let me take a look..."

George:  …

He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The more Gwen cared, the more jealous he became, as if a beautiful thing in his heart was about to be defiled, he asked:
"Tell me which brat it is, Gwen."

"Oh, Dad, am I that obvious?"

"..." x2
George and Helen glanced at each other.Well, this time my daughter is really going to be raped.

Just a moment ago, George, who was worried that his daughter would not be able to marry, began to struggle again.

Damn it, what a bastard it is!
Gwen smiled sweetly, a little embarrassed, "Peter and I made an appointment to go out this weekend, of course, it's just a normal outing."

It's Peter... George let out a sigh of relief as if a big stone had fallen from his heart.

Both he and Helen automatically blocked the sentence behind Gwen.

There was no news about Peter and Gwen for so long, and he thought that the two children had nothing to do. Now it seems that at least it is not the worst outcome.

Of course, George couldn't help squinting his eyes,

Oh, from now on, Peter is not only his half-son, but also half-enemy.

Finally he found a chance to call Gwen into the study,

"Peter...does he know?" George asked.

Gwen knew that George was asking Peter if he knew about her being Spider-Woman.

She shook her head, "I haven't told him yet."

George exhaled and said:

"Peter is a smart kid with a bright future, and we know that he is the most suitable person."

"I know dad."

"So, don't get him involved."

Gwen froze for a moment, then heard George continue to say: "Gwen, I'm not against you being with Peter."

"I'm just saying, you're special, you have your own thoughts, I can't stop you, and there's no reason to stop you,

All I can do for you as a father is to support you and protect you with all my strength. "

George speaks earnestly,

"But Peter is different. He's just an ordinary person, and if he got involved, it would only be a disaster. Like me, who almost died because of it..."

But he's already involved... Gwen said to herself.

After being reminded by George, she was finally startled, remembering the scene of her father falling from the tall building that night.

If it wasn't for the Black Superman, I'm afraid what she and her mother encountered now would be a different scene, right?
Let Peter also encounter this scene, Gwen is unwilling from the bottom of her heart.

But now, what can she do?

Gwen left the study with a heavy heart.

……

Osborne Building.

Recently, the Osborne Group has been troubled by many disasters.

First there was the incident of the Green Goblin, and then there was an attack by the lizardmen, and several superhuman heroes committed crimes and fought on the roof.

Not to mention the fluctuations in people's hearts, the most important thing is that their market value and wealth have shrunk by more than half in this short period of time.

This made those Osborn shareholders grit their teeth in distress.

Especially when they saw that the market value of Stark Industries, which was originally well-matched next door, had soared all the way recently, it was more uncomfortable than letting them lose money.

Oh, they were already losing a lot of money, and their mentality collapsed.

Therefore, the culprit of all this, Norman Osborn, was hated by them.

After Norman's death, these hatreds were transferred to Harry again.

Even though Harry theoretically inherited all of Norman Osborn's shares, he was still excluded from Osborn's inner circle.

They have even started to operate, and they are going to take up Harry's equity.

"So, are they saying they've destroyed all the projects father left behind, Felicia?" Harry asked, sitting at his father's former desk.

"Yes, Mr. Osborne, at least on the surface. The statement is to restore the confidence of investors and to deal with those lawsuits." Felicia said.

She was Norman Osborn's former secretary, and she was the only person Harry could trust in Osborn now.

"What about behind the scenes?"

"I accidentally heard... the new chairman Mencken and the security director said that they were transferred to a place, a secret department, but I'm sorry, Mr. Osborne, I don't have the authority to know..."

"Oh, well, Felicia, you go down first."

Harry sat alone at his desk with dark eyes.

"Why didn't you wait?"

He thought back to the last words Peter had said to him at school,

"The research on gene transfer across species is still going on. Although it can't solve your problem now, it can always be done in the future."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"I promise," Peter said.

……

"I'm sorry Peter, I really want to believe you, but this...and," the muscles on Harry's face twitched with tension,
"I can't wait, I can't let those thieves steal everything my father left."

He let out a long breath, opened the Osborne Group's internal network, and searched for the entry [Secret Project].

【Sorry, the item cannot be detected...】

"Log in, Harry Osborn."

[Account already logged in. 】

"Search [Secret Item]"

[A total of... files have been searched for you. 】

Harry closed his eyes in pain.He knew that this was the last gift his father would give him.

He clicked on these documents, and as the content of each document was exposed to him, even though he was prepared, he couldn't help but his pupils constricted and his face showed shock.

【Cross Species Gene Transfer Project】

Spiders, lizards, electric eels, black cats...

【Biological Armor Technology】
