Chapter 87: Peter and MJ


    <strong>Chapter 87: Peter and MJ</strong>


    <span style="font-weight:400">“B-Benjamin Freed!? THAT Benjamin Freed!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">May eximed in shock.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, unless you know other Benjamin Freeds.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh wow! I didn’t think I’d get to meet you personally!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Well, your nephew meets me most of the time…but she probably still doesn’t know that Peter’s Spider-man.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Spider-man is one of the few members of the EPD who always keeps his identity.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At first, there were a lot of them but after knowing each other on missions and gettingfortable with the other members, they no longer guard their identity too much.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Only Peter and a few others would always keep their identity a secret.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin just doesn’t know if he already told someone else or not. Maybe a friend? Does Ned exist here?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Well, I’m pretty sure Gwen knows it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Considering she’s probably not from this universe…but since she’s been here for a while, it’s safe to say that the setting isn’t like that animated movie where they would glitch if they are in the wrong universe.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin still has no idea why she’s here but like he told her before. As long as it doesn’t really affect anything, he won’t bother about it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It would be interesting to visit the multiverse one day though.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Maybe it’s even possible to go to the DC world?


    <span style="font-weight:400">[Host, are you sure about that?]


    <span style="font-weight:400">…Uhh, why are you asking, System? Is something bad going to happen?


    <span style="font-weight:400">[This System is the Ultimate Marvel System. Going to other Marvel worlds is not a big problem. But if you go to something like a DC World, the host of the Ultimate DC System will get notified and things may getplicated.]


    <span style="font-weight:400">…


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin fell into deep thought.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That does sound bad…


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin knew better than anyone how powerful this system could be. And from what the System said, it isn’t a unique existence in the multiverse…so how powerful would the others be?


    <span style="font-weight:400">What if they invade this world?


    <span style="font-weight:400">[Actually, Host does not need to worry too much. They all also have their own considerations. As long as host doesn’t offend them intentionally, there won’t be any problem.]


    <span style="font-weight:400">Well, I sure hope so…


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Anyway, one problem at a time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“So, do you mind showing me around?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Sure! It would be my pleasure!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">May nodded enthusiastically.


    <span style="font-weight:400">…Isn’t she a bit too excited?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Actually, Benjamin doesn’t fully understand his own fame.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Although many had already forgotten what he looked like since he rarely showed himself, the name Benjamin Freed is still a resounding name in the hearts of many people as it could be said that he is someone who signaled a new era.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It’s like…ask anyone what Jesus looks like and they would all give vague descriptions. But they still know the name itself.


    <span style="font-weight:400">…Okay, maybe thatparison is a bit…but you get the point!


    <span style="font-weight:400">While Benjamin follows May around the ce, a couple were walking on the streets nearby.


    <span style="font-weight:400">One was a man with short brown hair and the other was a woman with long red hair.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was none other than Peter Parker and Mary Jane.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It’s such a shame Harry can’te with us. Today’s game night!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It can’t be helped. You know Harry. It seems his father’s had some problemstely so he’s trying to help.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ shrugged.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Considering how bad his dad’s mood has been, I doubt this would end well…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s true…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two of them had long known the love-hate rtionship with the Osborns.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter stretched his arms and looked around as they walked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Anyway…it sure is peaceful nowadays.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Isn’t that good?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, yeah. Of course. I just mean…you know, after that whole alien war thing, I expected like more aliens woulde and invade us or something.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t jinx it.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ rolled her eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She knew that Peter was Spider-man and knew that he had taken part in a crazy war some time ago.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She still couldn’t believe that something that scary and amazing happened without them knowing anything!


    <span style="font-weight:400">ording to Peter, it was thanks to Benjamin Freed who had teleported the alien fleet just as it was about to enter the Earth’s atmosphere and sent them to a different.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Afterward, he assembled Earth’s mightiest and won the war!


    <span style="font-weight:400">How amazing was that!?


    <span style="font-weight:400">But at the same time, the fact that Earth had nearly brushed against death had also scared her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was fine not knowing about it but this stupid guy told her about it and now she’s worried all the time whether aliens would invade again so abruptly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But well…after a few days of waiting and nothing happening, she had reverted back to her normal lifestyle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Of course, it’s not that she had forgotten about it. But after thinking it through, the fact that nothing was happening meant that their was being protected by someone powerful.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’m kinda interested in meeting this Benjamin Freed.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ mused.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing that, Peter froze.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Meet that guy!?


    <span style="font-weight:400">No no no no no!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter knew about Benjamin and his expanding number of lovers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">If MJ meets him, what if…


    <span style="font-weight:400">Just the thought of it frightens Peter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter coughed and quickly changed topics.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“A-ahem! Oh, we’re at FEAST! Let’s go say hi to Aunt May since we’re here.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Speaking of which, I haven’t visited the FEAST yet since it was established. Let’s go!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ remembered that she wanted to visit before but there wasn’t a good time. Now that they were here, it was better to go.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She grabbed Peter’s hand and pulled him inside.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Inside, a staff noticed them and waved.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, Peter! Here to see your aunt?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. Where is she right now?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“She’s showing a guest around the ce. Said he was going to donate some money here.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing that a donor was present, Peter and MJ looked surprised and amazed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Wow! You guys found a donor so fast! That’s amazing!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ pped.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter smiled, also happy for his aunt.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He asked the staff.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Any idea who he is?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I didn’t hear. I just heard he’s quite handsome and amazing or something.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">The staff shrugged.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He wasn’t there when Benjamin introduced himself but just overheard some things.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter’s eyes narrowed while MJ raised a brow and smirked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She nudged Peter with her elbow and chuckled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe, maybe he’s going to be your future uncle, Peter.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hmph! I won’t acknowledge anyone but Uncle Ben!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter hmphed and started to walk inside.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Let’s go MJ. Let’s see who this guy is.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Look at you, so overprotective.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ rolled her eyes again but still followed. She was a bit curious as to who this handsome fellow was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At this moment, Benjamin had pretty much looked around the ce and they were finishing up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“And that’s pretty much it. What do you think?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">May asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled and nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It’s pretty impressive considering the limited budget you had before. I’ll increase my donation to 5 million. I trust that you can put it to good use.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing his confirmation, May’s eyes brightened excitedly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s great! I promise that I’ll put every cent into good use!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">May promised.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, a few kids ying nearby ran past behind May and identally pushed her forward, leaning onto Benjamin’s chest.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was also surprised and unconsciously caught her by the arms.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As the two locked eyes for a brief moment, Benjamin’s mind retorted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">What is this!? A K-drama or something!?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Knowing how embarrassed May might be, Benjamin was about to gently push her away when suddenly, someone eximed beside them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“AHHH!!!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Confused, Benjamin and May snapped out of it and looked at the side at the same time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There, they saw two people.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin recognized one of them as Peter Parker.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As for the other…that red hair and being beside Peter means it can only be Mary Jane Watson.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At the moment, Peter was pointing at them with his mouth agape in speechlessness.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Y-you two…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin looked at him, then at May. He knew this kid misunderstood them so he quickly stabilized May and took a big step back.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ahem, that was-”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, Peter! You’re here! There’s great news!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Before Benjamin could exin, May greeted Peter excitedly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Now, if Benjamin still insists on exining, it will make him sound too rude…he hadpletely missed the timing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sighing, he just shrugged it off and calmed down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“A-Aunt May…w-why is h-he….here…?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“He’s the new donor of FEAST! You know him, right? He’s none other than Benjamin Freed! That one from the EPD! How amazing is that!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“R-really amazing…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter forced a smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Dammit! Of course, I know him, I’m also a member of the EPD!


    <span style="font-weight:400">MJ saw his expression and nearlyughed out loud.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Smiling, she stepped forward and extended her hand towards Benjamin.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“So you’re the famous Benjamin Freed. You’re indeed as handsome as they say.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled wryly as he shook her hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No no, that’s an exaggeration…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">[Host, howe you’re so gullible suddenly? Is MJ also your target? Are you also going to NTR Spider-man?]


    <span style="font-weight:400">System, shut up!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter saw the two shook hands and his mind exploded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Oh no! Why did they have to meet!?


    <span style="font-weight:400">After shaking MJ’s hand, Benjamin suddenly felt a death stare from Peter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">…What is this guy thinking?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Not caring about the mood, May introduced the two.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“This is my nephew, Peter. This one is MJ, Peter’s girlfriend.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin nodded. Although he already knew it, he acted as if it was his first meeting with Peter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Nice to meet you. I am Benjamin Freed.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Nice to meet you.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Peter said and shook his hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">…Umm, Peter? Why are you using super strength? Aren’t you afraid of your cover being blown?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled wryly again and sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This guy definitely misunderstood and is now hostile to him…
