Chapter 77 Moving House, The Spider Family, Let's Go!
After noticing Coulson earlier, he had Riot split up to eavesdrop and already knew that Nick Fury was going to send her to get close to him.
So rather than letting the Black Widow approach him in some unknown way, he might as well cast a net and let her fall into it herself, turning the tables and taking the initiative.
This move is called "spider eats spider"!
Then there's Felicia Hardy, who's also a familiar face in Marvel. She's the anti-hero "Black Cat" in the comics, who has a very complicated relationship with Spider-Man!
She actually made a brief appearance in the movie, in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, as Harry's secretary.
However, since Harry abdicated before even taking the throne, Felicia naturally could no longer be Harry's secretary.
It's unclear whether this Felicia is the Felicia who has become the black cat, or just an ordinary person.
Even if she were an ordinary person, her abilities would make her worth recruiting.
After all, she is a rare strong woman in Marvel, and with a little training, she could easily help manage the company.
However, after meeting with the original geniuses of Osborn Corporation today, it was already almost evening, so Toby scheduled the interviews for the two of them for three days later.
As for why it's three days later?
Although the Osborne Building he inherited didn't undergo major changes, the signboard had to be changed to Parker Building, and the power system also needed to be replaced, so he gave everyone three days of paid leave.
He even prepaid three days' salary to Felicia and Natasha, who were waiting for their interviews.
It means, "I want you all, so just stay home and wait."
There was another reason why Toby was in such a hurry to leave work: he was moving.
After all, his status is different now, and it would be too troublesome for him to continue living in Queens, a place with a less-than-ideal safety record.
Because of Kingpin and Tony's backing, those big shots probably wouldn't dare to mess with him.
But those desperate, lowly people are a different story. For money, what wouldn't they do?
Therefore, Toby bought a mansion on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, right next to Kingpin's mansion.
That's right, Kingpin himself didn't actually live in Hell's Kitchen, but in Manhattan's Upper East Side, New York's most famous affluent neighborhood.
The safety level in this area is significantly higher than in other parts of New York.
Living next to Kingpin means you'll find yourself in one of the safest areas on the entire Upper East Side of Manhattan!
This residence was also specially chosen by Kingpin for Toby after the press conference, clearly because Tony's attitude of not wanting any benefits had provoked him.
So even the money to buy this mansion came from Kim, who said it was a gift to congratulate Toby on the founding of Parker Industries.
Toby did not refuse Kingpin's offer, but gladly accepted it.
After all, although Kingpin's intentions were not pure, he was indeed sincere in this matter.
Initially, Ben and May were quite opposed to moving, as they had both lived in Queens for decades and knew many people there, so they were naturally reluctant to leave.
But the two weren't inflexible people. After Toby and Harry explained the dangers of their changed identities to the elderly couple, they finally agreed to move.
As for Peter, his opinion is unimportant.
Even if Peter wanted to continue living in Queens, Toby wouldn't force him to move.
After all, Peter's safety was not something he needed to worry about; it was the robbers who should be concerned.
Although Peter was somewhat reluctant to part with Mary Jane, the girl next door, he ultimately chose to move to the new house with them.
While Mary Jane was important to Peter, she didn't hold the same place in his heart as his family.
And because Osborne Manor was destroyed, Harry lost his home, so he had to move to the new house as well. In addition, Harry has been calling Toby "brother" more affectionately than he does, almost as close as Ben and May calling him "Mom and Dad".
This made Peter feel threatened by the loss of his family ties, so he resolutely chose to abandon Mary Jane and keep an eye on this "good brother" who wanted to steal his cousin away!
Besides, their move was just from one borough of New York to another; it wasn't like they would never see Mary Jane again, so Peter had nothing to be nostalgic about.
Finally, after moving into their new home, they did not intend to sell their old house in Queens or move the furniture there.
Instead, apart from necessities, everything else was left untouched in their hometown.
In May's words, the house could be used as Peter and Mary Jane's wedding home, and the furniture inside was all ready-made high-end goods, which would save Peter a lot of trouble in the future.
This made Peter blush with embarrassment.
Especially with Harry, his childhood friend, present and making joking remarks with a mischievous grin.
With Harry joining the Parker family, the family has become much happier.
May and Ben gained a son, Peter gained a playmate, and Toby had more personal time.
At least Harry can now spend the time he would have spent watching TV with May and Ben, and playing games with Peter, while he can go out and do his own thing.
For example, finding Gwen to deepen your relationship or something...
This is actually a good thing for Harry. Although his cold father has passed away, he now has two more "parents" who love him and two older brothers who dote on him.
That's right, Peter is also Harry's brother.
Because in their previous "brotherly rivalry," Harry's "sudden inspiration" was quickly overshadowed by Peter's two punches, thus sealing his place as the younger brother.
However, Harry seems to enjoy his position as the younger brother, since the youngest child in a family is often the most pampered.
Especially after Ben and May learned that Harry was an orphan and had not been happy in the past, they became even more fond of him.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Harry will likely live out his entire life in this blissful existence woven by Toby.
Just when Toby thought this peaceful life could continue for a while, an accident still happened two nights later.
An earthquake struck New York!
Oh, no, I should say something made a whole area of New York shake!
In Parker's new home, the family of seven sat on the sofa, all watching the breaking news on television with surprised expressions.
As for why there are seven people, it's because in addition to Harry, who recently joined the Parker family, Gwen and Mary Jane are also among them.
But none of that matters. What matters is the content of the news: it says that two big green guys got into a fight in Harlem, Manhattan!
The Harlem District is only about ten kilometers away from the Upper East Side, which is why they felt the tremors so strongly!
And judging from the direction the two big guys are fighting in the news, it seems like they're gradually heading towards the Upper East Side!
This won't do!
Toby, Peter, and Harry exchanged a glance, then stood up simultaneously. "The Spider Family, let's go!"
