I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 115 Max: Unlucky Yet Lucky

Of course, with Riley's current abilities, he actually has more than ten ways to resolve this crisis more gently, ensuring that no one is injured in this conflict.

However, for criminals who have lost all humanity and disregard the lives of others...

Riley, who was far less kind than Peter, never minded letting such fools suffer a bit before facing legal consequences.

That's why, alerted by the spider sense, even though the driver was bound by the spider web, he still wouldn't stay still and was about to fire indiscriminately with his gun.

Riley, "startled," "accidentally" fired an excessive amount of spider silk.

First, they bound the other person's wrists, then broke his bones.

Then, the moment the other person opens their mouth, use a makeshift mask woven from spider webs to tightly cover their mouth, not even giving them the right to scream in pain.

"Looks like I got here just in time? Hey, buddy, are you alright? Come on, grab my hand, I'll help you up... Yeah, that's it, well done."

After doing all this, Riley changed his demeanor like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, shedding his chilling murderous intent and transforming back into the friendly neighbor Spider-Man.

He then took a few steps forward, standing in front of the disheveled man who had been busy picking up blueprints scattered on the ground when the truck came crashing down on him and had no time to escape. He greeted the man familiarly and reached out to help the poor man, whose legs were trembling with fear, slowly stand up. He also tidied the man's messy hair and straightened his crooked glasses.

Then, after looking around, he launched a series of spider webs to pull the scattered blueprints into his hands, wrapped them with spider silk, packed them into an easy-to-carry form, and handed them to the person in front of him.

"Alright, Max, the crisis is over. Oh, I almost forgot about these blueprints; they look quite important, don't they?"

"Oh, you...you're Spider-Man...wait, how do you know my name?"

"It's simple, your name is on your employee ID, buddy."

"...Oh, I should have known. I'm just an insignificant nobody, how could I possibly be recognized by a great hero like you..."

"Hey, don't underestimate yourself, Max. You're very important; to some people, you're their guiding light. Who knows, maybe one day in the future, even I'll need your help?"

"R-Really...?!"

"Sure, come on, Max, give me a hug. Yeah, that's it, cheer up, buddy. I know life's tough, but we can't give up so easily, right? Be confident, Max, everything will be alright."

"……Um!"

"Great, that's my good buddy. But right now, I need to go and hand things over with the police regarding the criminals over there, so I have to go ahead. Sorry Max, we'll talk again another time? Until then, let's both work hard and try to make life better, buddy."

"Huh? Okay...okay! No problem! Goodbye, Spider-Man! I'll do whatever you say! I'll always support you!"

Meanwhile, the man, gradually regaining his senses, saw his idol, Spider-Man, standing so close to him, showing no disdain for him as a nobody, constantly comforting and encouraging him. He even gave him a hug he never dared to dream of!

This moved Max, a man who had almost never experienced kindness in the world, to tears on the spot.

You know, even Max's own mother only knows how to belittle and criticize Max all day long! No one has ever cared about Max's feelings like Spider-Man has!

Then, watching his idol Spider-Man gradually walk away.

Max savored the memory of that embrace, which seemed to possess a magical power, making him feel incredibly relaxed and safe. Under the envious gazes of the onlookers, he felt himself become the center of attention, transcending the status of an ordinary person, and couldn't help but grin.

Before this, Max thought that today would be a terrible day, just like any other.

But now, Max has to correct something...

Today is absolutely the best day of his life!

[DC Universe's Second Bucket: Hey buddy, you can't say that!!!]

Meanwhile, on the other side...

This is because J. Jonah Jameson's recent public statement of thanks emphasized that Spider-Man is an officially employed law enforcement officer. Furthermore, Commissioner George tacitly accepted this statement without issuing a rebuttal.

Therefore, the Parker brothers are now significantly more relaxed in their fight against crime.

The most important point is that, like now, after catching the criminals, the Parker brothers no longer need to rush to leave the scene to avoid being arrested by the police.

Instead, they contacted the police openly and honestly. While accepting their gratitude, they also inquired about the progress of the case to ensure nothing was overlooked.

Then, with the help of the police, they carried the criminals tied to the spider webs down, and handed them over to the police along with the plutonium-238 that Peter had previously brought out of the armored vehicle and the other criminal accomplices.

After finishing the cleanup, he waved goodbye to the police who thanked him and said farewell, then used his spider webs to pull himself up to a higher place and left the scene.

It was precisely this change that reminded Peter of when he first became Spider-Man and faced J. Jonah Jameson's slander; he was somewhat unhappy about it. And because teenagers of that age are very prone to impulsive actions, when J. Jonah Jameson not only didn't restrain himself but escalated his actions, fabricating accusations against Spider-Man, Peter even considered rushing to the Daily Bugle and beating that old man who twisted the truth right there and then. He only gave up the idea, looking quite displeased, after being dissuaded by Riley.

Only today, faced with the police's complete change of attitude, did Peter finally understand what Riley meant when he said that this stubborn old man would be of great help sooner or later.

Even Peter, who was usually straightforward and not very calculating, couldn't help but sigh inwardly once again that his older brother, seemingly harmless, was actually incredibly cunning and calculating in every way. He also silently mourned for Kingpin, who dared to kidnap John Jameson and provoke Spider-Man.

Riley, meanwhile, was swaying on the spiderwebs when he noticed his brow furrowing slightly, a result of his brief encounter with Max earlier.

For some reason, Riley felt that he had seen this man named Max and the robbery he had just stopped somewhere before.

However, Riley's priority now is to refine the rescue plan for John Jameson.

Adding to everything that has happened so far, it proves that the Marvel Cinematic Universe we're in is a hodgepodge of elements. We can't easily predict how the story will unfold based on just one or two movies.

After a brief moment of reflection, Riley was still unable to find the corresponding images from his somewhat hazy memories of his two previous lives.

We have no choice but to put Max's matter aside for now.

So that, as his smile grew increasingly arrogant, he could focus all his energy on playing the role of a modern-day Jia Xu, and thinking about how to properly "entertain" Kingpin tonight!
