"Thompson, that charge you did earlier was really impressive!"
Liz generously praised Thompson, who had just finished a football match. The subtle envious glances from the surrounding girls made her feel very pleased.
Although she couldn't compare to someone like "Female Knight" Jessica, who had unprecedented top-tier prestige at school; nor could she compete with Gwen, who had top grades, was beautiful, and was also the daughter of the police chief; or even Mary Jane, a member of the school band, had gained more popularity after the last party performance, now outshining her…
But so, what?
With the identity of being the girlfriend of football star "Lightning" Thompson, she felt she had the capital to look down on some of the other girls!
"Liz, thank you for the compliment."
Thompson proudly flexed his biceps.
This made a few girls, who were average-looking but dressed flamboyantly, scream from a distance.
"Oh! Thompson, I love you!"
"Dump Liz, and go out with me!"
Liz became even happier, purposely acting closer to Thompson to gain more attention.
Thompson wasn't very pleased with his girlfriend's clinginess and didn't appreciate it much.
He pulled Liz closer, arrogantly asking, "So Liz, now who do you think is your true soulmate, compared to Peter?"
"Of course, it's you! Thompson."
Seeing that her boyfriend seemed to have some doubts, Liz quickly explained, "What I said last time was to purposely irritate you! I'm not interested in someone like Peter Parker, that bookworm!"
"Haha! So that's how it is."
Thompson laughed arrogantly, "I told you; insignificant Peter could never compare to me!"
"Ah————!!"
At this moment.
The few girls who had just screamed for Thompson now let out even louder, more piercing screams.
This led to chaos erupting throughout the entire football field!
"A Lizard! A giant lizard!"
"A monster! What is this monster!"
"It's the Lizard! It's the Lizard!"
Because of Jessica's special identity, news of the Lizard, whom she had fought, spread quickly through the school. It wasn't long before someone recognized it.
"It's the Lizard! The one Jessica defeated!"
"Oh my god! Thompson, be careful!"
A football player shouted a warning to Thompson, "It's right by you!"
"The Lizard?"
Thompson trembled as he saw the large green monster coming toward him, but he still managed to stand his ground.
In fact, he was also a fan of superheroes, and had fantasized about becoming one himself. He also admired Jessica, who was a superhero.
However, they had never had a good relationship, and now the "Female Knight" was even more unattainable for him.
But at least he had to stand firm.
Someone had already started recording with their phone, and his pride wouldn't allow him to embarrass himself in front of his girlfriend!
But Liz, standing nearby, was so scared by the approaching Lizard that her legs gave out, and she collapsed to the ground.
Peter looked at the couple in front of him, one trembling with fear and the other looking unrecognizable. He felt very pleased and smiled widely…
"Ah! Don't eat me! Don't eat me!"
The mouth full of sharp teeth and slime opened wide, and Liz was so terrified she wet herself.
She lost control of herself on the spot, panicking and shouting, "Where's Jessica? Where's Spider-Man? Come save me!"
Seeing his girlfriend acting so out of control, Thompson grit his teeth and said, "Wha... what, charge... charge…"
His voice shook, and he couldn't finish his sentence.
"Cackle…"
The more Thompson acted like this, the happier Peter became.
His tail curled around Liz, lifting her into the air.
At the same time, the tip of his tail jammed into her mouth, blocking her throat to prevent her from screaming and causing annoyance.
"Mm, mm, mm…" Liz was uncomfortable, feeling like she couldn't breathe.
After doing this, Peter finally turned his attention to Thompson.
"Now, I'm giving you two choices."
"First, let me kill you."
"Second, I'll kill your girlfriend."
His voice had changed drastically, becoming hoarse and terrifying.
Thompson couldn't tell that the Lizard in front of him was actually his classmate Peter Parker, whom he looked down on.
He hesitated, "I choose… choose…"
"I choose your head!"
Thompson suddenly moved!
He threw a punch at Peter's abdomen!
It turns out he had already gotten used to the pressure from the Lizard!
With his athlete-level physical fitness and athletic reflexes, he could exert force now!
But…
Although Thompson's muscles were impressive by ordinary standards.
Peter's tough scales made him completely unaffected by Thompson's punch.
It didn't even feel like a mosquito bite.
"This is it; this is the power!"
The Lightning that used to knock him down with one punch couldn't even do a scraping treatment now…
Peter excitedly grabbed Thompson by the throat with one claw and lifted him up, "You think I'm joking with you? Looks like you chose option one."
"No… no no…"
The suffocating sensation in the air and the easy crushing of football player gear.
Made Thompson finally experience the threat of death.
He didn't have that deep of feelings for Liz.
So, he chose to preserve his own life.
"I… I choose two…"
"I choose the second one…"
