On the phone, Peter loudly urged, even ordered, Gwen to leave the Osborn Tower immediately.
The Lizardman had already begun spreading the gene toxin and was heading there. He wanted to infect everyone. The Osborn Tower was extremely dangerous right now.
What he got in return was the call being hung up.
Gwen had already started making the antidote, but it needed time, eight minutes.
'The antidote is the only way to save everyone. Before I get the antidote, I'm not going anywhere,' Gwen thought this in her heart, her hands not stopping as she activated the alarm system for the entire building. People began to evacuate in an emergency.
At the same time, she ignited and triggered the tower's fire safety system. Fire suppression gas sprayed from the ceiling, and thick gates dropped over key passageways.
———
After Little Spider's call was hung up, he burst out with a curse.
"Damn it! Are you freaking kidding me?"
He immediately dashed anxiously toward the tower.
The circling helicopters in the air and the police cars on the ground locked onto Little Spider.
In Captain George's view, Spider-Man was just a troublemaker who ignored the law and had to be punished.
"You're surrounded. Stop right now, or we'll open fire. You can't get away!"
Worried for his girlfriend's safety, Peter completely ignored the warning. The police started shooting at him, and special bullets crackling with electricity rained toward Little Spider.
Peter ran and dodged at the same time. Just as he was swinging up into the air on his web, his eyes were suddenly dazzled by a helicopter searchlight.
A police stun round hit him in the waist.
Little Spider, with his whole body instantly paralyzed and unable to move, fell to the ground and was immediately surrounded by SWAT officers dropping from the sky, his hands cuffed behind his back.
Gwen's father, George Stacy, as captain of the NYPD, walked over to Little Spider sitting on the ground, curled his lip, and took off his mask.
'I have to get to the Osborn Tower right away… No one can stop me. Sorry, officers!'
Little Spider made up his mind, the moment the mask came off, Little Spider suddenly exploded into action, moving fast as he took down a group of detectives.
"Don't move!", From the voice, Peter recognized the man behind him as his beloved girlfriend's father.
His heart was a mess of conflicting feelings, but his movements stopped.
———
By the time Corin arrived at the base of the Osborn Tower cursing under his breath, the scene was already complete chaos.
Blaring sirens, wounded people crying in pain. Crowds running in panic with no order at all.
Even a few dogs were fleeing in terror, their tails clamped tight.
Glass blown out from the upper floors of the building crashed to the ground and shattered, fragments bouncing in all directions, setting off shrill car alarms in the parked vehicles.
There were even NYPD SWAT officers whose bodies were sprouting scales, rolling on the ground in agony.
'Noisy!'
'So noisy!'
Standing right in the middle of it all, with Spider Sense feeding back so intensely, Corin's brain felt like it was boiling, his temples throbbing hard.
He narrowed his eyes and searched around, 'Where is the Lizardman?'
He finally spotted his target almost a hundred meters up in the air. Police helicopters had their searchlights locked tightly onto it.
They watched the Lizardman use his sharp claws to agilely climb up along the outside of the building. When he reached a certain floor, he punched through the glass curtain wall and slipped into the tower.
While Corin's super vision tracked the Lizardman, he also found Little Spider. Right now Peter seemed to have a leg injury and was struggling to make his way over.
"Perfect."
He eyeballed the distance and locked onto the hole where the Lizardman had entered the building.
"I've been wanting to try this move for ages."
———
None of the nearby officers or reporters understood why this sudden crimson figure was moving against the crowd into such a dangerous place, and they shouted to warn him, "Hey~ sir, it's dangerous here, please evacuate immediately!"
Hearing the warning, Corin paused for a second, then turned around gracefully.
Click! Click! Click! Click!
Camera flashes burst into a frenzy, like the media scrambling to shoot a top star on the red carpet.
They couldn't help it. The reporters' sharp professional instincts told them that this guy… was absolutely not simple.
Besides, he was way too handsome.
A crimson formal suit, paired with a pure silver mask, jet-black hair, bright eyes, a straight, upright frame, a wickedly charming smile.
Everything about him made Corin look like a star glittering in the night sky, dazzling and impossible to ignore.
The reporters all agreed that just for his looks alone, this trip wasn't wasted. They had to take extra shots.
Several live broadcast cameras also unconsciously turned their lenses toward Corin.
Sensing the crowd's goodwill, Corin bowed politely, but still smiled and shook his head.
Then he pulled a seat belt out of a scrapped car beside him and tied it to the ring on his throwing knife.
The other end was tightly fastened to his hand.
No one understood what Corin was doing.
Once he was finished, he looked back again and showed everyone a big smile.
Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!
Another wave of furious camera shutter sounds came.
He turned his head back to stare at the upper floors. Light flashed, and the throwing knife left his hand.
Seventy percent of his strength.
Worried it might not be enough to carry his weight, Corin deliberately put in a bit more power.
Thrum! Whoosh!
The throwing knife shot toward the skyscraper with unstoppable momentum. The seat belt snapped tight in an instant with a crack.
Corin felt a strong tug in his hand, and in an instant his whole body was yanked into the air by the massive kinetic force.
"Yahoo~"
The crimson figure became a streak of light, shooting straight up into the sky.
Down below, whether they were civilians, the injured, reporters, or police, no one could ignore this magical scene before their eyes.
"He… threw himself… up there?"
Their expressions were blank as the same question rose in everyone's mind, "Is this scientifically possible?"
———
Feeling the fierce wind slamming into his face, Corin held out one hand in front of him, being firmly pulled by the throwing knife, his speed grew faster and faster, like a rocket lifting off, unstoppable.
The gap between him and the target hole shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye he had shot up over thirty floors.
"Awesome!"
The feeling of flying was like opening the door to a whole new world for him.
This was flying~
Flying upward without using any kind of flight device. Upward.
What kid hasn't dreamed of being able to fly?
If Newton saw this scene, his coffin lid probably wouldn't stay shut.
Adjusting his posture a little, Corin thought proudly, 'There's no Superman here, so his classic pose is mine now~'
His excitement only lasted a few seconds before his face collapsed.
Because… it seemed like he'd used too much force.
He watched himself about to slam into the building. The roaring momentum didn't slow down at all.
"Uh oh~"
Boom! Crash!
Like a truck flying through the air, Corin, carried by that massive force, slammed hard into the Osborn Tower, smashing through countless fixtures.
The little hole the Lizardman had opened up was turned by Corin's impact into an opening big enough for a car to drive through.
"Whoa~"
The people downstairs saw that Corin had taken only a few seconds to reach the spot the Lizardman had spent ages climbing to.
Only then did they suddenly realize this guy was the real deal, and at the same time they were sure he was a good guy too.
"Didn't you see how polite he was? A real gentleman."
They broke into loud applause, cheers, screams, and whistles.
If the circumstances had allowed, there would definitely have been hats and flowers flying through the air too.
———
He didn't stop until he'd crashed through two ceilings. Then he barely came to a halt.
Covered in dust, Corin crawled out of the rubble, patting the dirt off his clothes.
"Mmm! The landing was a bit rough."
Hearing the cheering from below in the distance, Corin walked to the window, stuck his head out, and gave them a friendly wave.
The live news cameras zoomed in straight to a close-up, and Corin's delicate mask and elegant, regal bearing once again drew gasps from everyone.
"Ah~ he's so handsome!!"
From grade schoolers to women of retirement age, once they clearly saw Corin's looks, they let out excited screams.
"What the f…"
All the men, including the officers, were deeply shaken by Corin's overwhelming strength, and let out cries of amazement.
