<strong>Chapter 89: Birth of the Goblin</strong>
<span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile, in the Parker household.
<span style="font-weight:400">May just finished putting thesagna in the oven and pped her hands.
<span style="font-weight:400">“And done! Now we just have to wait for a while then we can start eating!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ooh! Should we y some games while we wait? Today’s game night! You can join in too Capt. Freed!”
<span style="font-weight:400">MJ suggested. To which Peter tried to refuse.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uhh, I’m sure Mr. Freed is busy. I don’t think this is a good id-”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, that’s a good idea! I’m quite free today. What games do you y around here?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter sighed and red at Benjamin.
<span style="font-weight:400">What’s wrong with this guy!? Is he really this free? Doesn’t he have like, a gajillion lovers to attend to!?
<span style="font-weight:400">If Benjamin knew what he was thinking, he would just smile helplessly.
<span style="font-weight:400">His rtionship with his lovers was…a bit unique after all.
<span style="font-weight:400">They all have things they’re busy with and even Nat enjoys chatting with Anna, or the other girls instead of him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Actually, Benjamin tried to stay at home once to take care of the pregnant Natasha but it seems he was too enthusiastic about it that it just annoyed her. From then on, she told him to go busy himself instead.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sulking, Benjamin went to find the other girls forfort but they were also quite busy. He even looked for Amy and Rosa as well but they were also busy with police work.
<span style="font-weight:400">Naturally, they each still spent a day together but that was it.
<span style="font-weight:400">So after all that, Benjamin was quite free now.
<span style="font-weight:400">The System even joked to him about finding more girls so he could rotate girls for each day in a month…
<span style="font-weight:400">An hourter.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smirked as he stared straight at MJ’s eyes and then…
<span style="font-weight:400">“+4”
<span style="font-weight:400">“NOOOO!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">MJ copsed on her chair as she held onto a stack of cards.
<span style="font-weight:400">Having ced hisst card, Benjamin chuckled and rxed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Skipping MJ’s turn, it was May’s turn.
<span style="font-weight:400">“+2! Uno!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Grr…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter grumbled and drew two more cards.
<span style="font-weight:400">Since Benjamin was done, It was MJ’s turn who sighed and ced a number with the same color.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aha! I’m done!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Mayughed as she raised her hands up in celebration.
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter grumbled and ced a normal number.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing this, MJ’s gleamed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s over, Tiger! +4! +2! +4! +2! +2! Reverse! Skip! Skip! Skip! Reverse! +2! +4! Reverse! Skip! Reverse! +2! +4! And finally…7!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What the f…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter was speechless at the sudden barrage of special cards and skipped his turn repeatedly.
<span style="font-weight:400">Naturally, the result was hisplete loss.
<span style="font-weight:400">MJ smiled smugly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Heh! I knew I wasn’t going to win first ce so I was saving up those cards for thest battle!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter gritted his teeth.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Once more! Again! I refuse to believe I will lose again!”
<span style="font-weight:400">A few minutester.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Noooo! Why!? Why is it me again!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter copsed onto the floor while grasping his held cards that was about as much as the deck.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin and the rest justughed at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">After a while, the timer on the oven rang.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, it’s done. Let’s eat!”
<span style="font-weight:400">May pped and everyone started to clear the table.
<span style="font-weight:400">As they ate, Benjamin eximed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mm! This is good. You could open a restaurant, May.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha, thank you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter added.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You should see her wheat cakes. The best.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? I’ll look forward to it someday then.”
<span style="font-weight:400">May smiled as she looked at Benjamin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Feel free toe whenever you’re free. I’ll cook you some food if you want.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah. Sure. When I’m free.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Feeling that there was something weird with her expression, Benjamin cleared his throat as he answered.
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter looked at him and at May with narrowed eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">MJ saw Peter’s expression and could only smile wryly.
<span style="font-weight:400">Should I help him out?
<span style="font-weight:400">Thinking that, MJ started to ask Benjamin.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, Capt. Freed. I’ve been meaning to ask.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine to just call me Ben.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ben…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Although Benjamin said that to MJ, it was May who uttered his name.
<span style="font-weight:400">MJ also nced at May who seemed to be thinking something. She coughed once and continued.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then, Ben. There’s some rumors about you having multiple girlfriends. Is it true? Off the record, of course.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin could only smile helplessly at that.
<span style="font-weight:400">It seems this MJ is one that is aspiring to be a reporter. She’s already asking him such a question…
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, it was off the record anyway and Benjamin was also aware of some rumors floating around him.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well…yes.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Really!? How many!? Who are they!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">MJ’s eyes gleamed.
<span style="font-weight:400">She was hungry for some gossip!
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, I suppose I can tell you some who most people know. There’s Natasha who you know as the ck Widow. And also Anna who is better known as Rogue. As for the others…well, not a lot of people know about my rtionship with them so it’s better not to say.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“But how many?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uhh…16? But most of those are casual rtionships which I am also not sure what they really think of me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“16!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Not just MJ. Even Peter and May were shocked.
<span style="font-weight:400">May asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How does that even work?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh. It’s fine. None of them are really clingy and I basically juste to them if they ask me or theye to me if they want. They all do their own thing so I just support them I guess?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“And they know each other?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah? I think they have a group chat or something but none of them wants me to know about it…”
<span style="font-weight:400">The three were speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">May started to ponder on something.
<span style="font-weight:400">MJ was also thinking something while muttering.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I wonder if I can join that group chat. I’m sure I can get tons of juicy insider scoops!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“MJ!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Peter quickly nudged her with a pale face.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha. I’m just joking, Tiger. Don’t be so serious.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha…ha…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile. In the Oscorp secretb.
<span style="font-weight:400">After restraining Norman, Octavius ced him inside a pod filled with an unknown medical liquid.
<span style="font-weight:400">Norman was strapped inside with an oxygen mask and several needles with tubes connected to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Octavius saw Norman ring at him and chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehe, don’t look so scary, Osborn. You wanted a super soldier, did you not? I’m giving it to you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">His four metallic tentacles moved here and there as he pressed a few buttons and moved some levers.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now. I present you…your super soldier serum…!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Octaviusughed and pressed on a red button.
<span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, Norman’s eyes widened and his pupils dted.
<span style="font-weight:400">One could see his veins popping out and throbbing as he shouted inside the tank in pain.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, only bubbles appeared from his mouth and his voice couldn’t be heard from outside the tank.
<span style="font-weight:400">Still, one look at his expression and you can see that he was in great pain!
<span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, his body started to bulk up. His figure contorted into a different shape. His skin…turning into a shade of green…!
<span style="font-weight:400">Octavius smiled madly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fascinating! How marvelous! The serum was only meant to enhance the physical properties of a person but you, Osborn! It seems you really are a monster deep within! Hahahaha!”
<span style="font-weight:400">*Boom*Shatter*
<span style="font-weight:400">The tank exploded and the ss shattered into pieces.
<span style="font-weight:400">From inside it, a huge green figure could be seen.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although not as big as the Hulk, this one looked more ferocious and monstrous.
<span style="font-weight:400">Octavius quickly moved and used one of his metallic tentacles and attach a cor to the creature’s neck.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now you are mine to control, Osborn. No…you look more like a goblin now. My Green Goblin. Kukuku…Hahaha…HAHAHAHAHAHA!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Octavius started tough madly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“OCTAVIUS!”
<span style="font-weight:400">The Green Goblin tried to charge at him but Octavius merely smiled coldly and pressed on a remote.
<span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, the cor on the goblin’s neck sparked and sent thousands of volts into him.
<span style="font-weight:400">“ARGGGHHHH!!!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now now, my goblin. Patience. Soon, you will be able to rampage all you want. As soon as I figure out how you work, I will create an army of Green Goblins!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Octaviousughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Not even Be-...oops. That was close. Although I haven’t proven this hypothesis yet, there’s no reason not to be cautious. In any case, no one can stop me now!”
<span style="font-weight:400">What he didn’t know though…
<span style="font-weight:400">In a small corner of theb. A small robotic ck cat could be seen staring at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Inside the Freedom Corp. Felicia was looking through her tablet and was a bit speechless at the turn of events.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although she just finished stealing from Norman, she left behind a small cat robot that Benjamin made for her to keep watch at Norman in case he did something.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sure enough, something did indeed happen.
<span style="font-weight:400">She just didn’t think that it would be something like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">Felicia also wasn’t really watching from the start. She had only opened up the tablet now to check in on it and already found Octavius turning Norman into a monster.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, shit.”
