Doctor Octopus is cunning, and the situation is not favorable for Spider-Man.
He was forcefully thrown by mechanical arms, crashing into the opposite high-rise building. Aunt May couldn't hold onto the umbrella any longer.
Fortunately, there were stairs beneath her, preventing a fall from high altitude. However, the bad news is that Doctor Octopus grabbed her and sneered at Spider-Man across the building, "You like meddling in others' affairs? This old lady's life is on you!"
Spider-Man on the opposite building quickly shot web strands on both sides of the window, acting as rubber bands. Using the elastic force of the web, he propelled himself to rescue Aunt May. Doctor Octopus was waiting for him, a sinister smile on his face, with a sharp blade extending from one of his mechanical arms.
Clearly, Doctor Octopus took advantage of Spider-Man's eagerness to save lives, intending to stab him when he flew over. Spider-Man didn't notice the impending attack, but Aunt May did. She couldn't help but mutter, "Shameless!"
Audiences outside the video condemned Doctor Octopus for his unfair tactics, criticizing him for threatening Spider-Man with an elderly hostage and resorting to such sinister moves.
In the video, Spider-Man had already flown out, and Doctor Octopus no longer hid his intentions. He revealed his mechanical arms and the sharp, glinting blades.
He aimed the mechanical arms at Spider-Man, ready for a fierce attack. Many viewers couldn't help but gasp. Just at that moment, the previously ignored Aunt May seized the opportunity. She vigorously swung her umbrella, landing a solid hit on Doctor Octopus's head.
With a loud thud, it was a substantial blow. Doctor Octopus cried out in pain, losing balance. He couldn't focus on controlling the mechanical arms anymore. Spider-Man reacted swiftly, evading the blades and seizing one of the mechanical arms.
Meanwhile, Aunt May was thrown aside by another mechanical arm and fell from high altitude. Spider-Man, without hesitation, leaped after her, shooting web strands and catching her mid-fall. He swung away gracefully with the web.
The police below, after observing the spectacle for a while, finally fired a few shots from a distance. Given the distance and Doctor Octopus's formidable mechanical arms, hitting him was like winning the lottery. However, this didn't mean he could completely ignore the police firepower. Without lingering, Doctor Octopus climbed the high-rise building and left.
Some viewers couldn't help but comment,
"I had enough of this. The police performance can only be described as utterly terrible. They've been watching this spectacle for so long?"
"Yeah, it's outrageous. Where are the armed helicopters? Can just a few police cars and officers handle these supervillains? The police are truly unreliable!"
"Haha, I can't help but laugh. The role of the police is not even comparable to an old lady with an umbrella. See that? These are the individuals maintained with taxpayer money—useless. Don't expect them to protect our safety!"
The police maintaining order around the spectators reacted differently—some expressed indignation, others engaged in back-and-forth arguments with the viewers, and some just rolled their eyes. They had become accustomed to criticism since the exposure of superhero videos in the Quiz game, causing police officers from different worlds to face public backlash, leading to resignations and a decline in trust towards police.
The video continued, showing Spider-Man bringing Aunt May to safety and telling her, "We defeated him."
Aunt May was surprised, "You really mean 'we'?"
Spider-Man, feigning indifference, didn't respond and swiftly left before being swarmed by female fans.
The audience and players immediately grasped why the previous answer was D, and Chief Gordon's expression remained grim.
Peter Parker offered a gentle suggestion: "Mr. Gordon, there's no need to harbor anger and frustration. New York has its share of corrupt and incompetent police officers, but there are also conscientious ones like yourself. Regardless, they all contribute to maintaining social security and stability—a crucial force."
Chief Gordon managed a forced smile and said, "Thank you."
The video showed Spider-Man being busy during the day, accompanying Aunt May to the bank and having another encounter with Doctor Octopus. In the evening, he had no leisure time as he attended an "upper-class society" banquet, playing the role of a photographer.
The so-called upper-class society event was vibrant and glamorous, with a gathering of well-dressed and elite individuals, enjoying drinks, conversation, and dancing—a lively scene.
However, Peter had nothing to do with the festivity. As a mere assistant and a practically worthless photographer, he couldn't integrate into the upper-class society circle. The guests treated him like a servant, calling him over as if he were a servant.
There were exceptions, though. Harry was also present at the banquet, and Peter found him at the bar. This once vibrant and talented young man now wore a troubled expression, drinking in frustration.
"I thought that lunatic would bring me wealth and fame, but he ended up ruining me!" he complained upon seeing Peter, adding, "And that detestable giant insect."
The giant insect naturally referred to Spider-Man. Harry had always harbored resentment towards Peter and Spider-Man's "special relationship." Whenever there was an opportunity, he would inquire about Spider-Man's identity.
This time was no exception, but Peter tried to evade the conversation. Fortunately, at that moment, Jameson pulled Harry away, indirectly resolving the situation.
However, when Jameson called Peter over, it was for him to work—to take various photos of his wife, politicians, and elites. After a busy session, as the main event of the banquet was about to start—the appearance of the Jameson's son, a recently returned astronaut and American hero.
Guests clapped politely, and Peter prepared to join in. However, his expression froze as he not only saw the handsome astronaut but also his crush—Mary Jane.
Well, this woman was indeed extraordinary. She had not only captivated the rich and handsome Harry Osborn and the Spider-Man A.K.A Peter Parker but had now also hooked up with an upper-class society astronaut!
Mary Jane, in an exquisite and beautiful evening gown, accompanied her handsome and highly positioned boyfriend. They were truly a perfect couple, and she enjoyed the blessings and applause from the guests.
The guests were tactful, making Peter seem out of place in the crowd.
