Chapter 127 The Sky Collapses for the Parker Family ( words, please subscribe)
Apartment building near the financial street.
Charlotte and her group arrived at what Gwen called the "new house".
When entering the room, everyone can see the bustling neon lights outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Is this the legendary big flat?" Lizard Parker shed tears of inferiority.
Old Steve looked around at the furnishings and decoration in the room, and thought that he, a man less than two hundred years old, had never lived in such a luxurious house in his life, and suddenly felt strongly dissatisfied with his pension.
"I think we should investigate Gwen's father," he said seriously.
Felicia rolled her eyes, "I'll take you to my castle if I get a chance, and show you what true luxury is."
"Charlotte said you are a thief. I will arrest you if I have the chance."
Old Steve paused and said, "By the way, blow up your castle."
Felicia's face was stiff, not wanting to argue with the old man.
Charlotte sat on the sofa and took a deep breath.
“This is the smell of money!!”
"It's the smell of formaldehyde," Carter reminded.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes, "The formaldehyde here is so happy."
Carter: “.”
She turned on the TV and said, "What happened tonight will definitely be reported by a large number of reporters, and the Sinister Six will definitely notice something is wrong.
If they choose to hide, it will be difficult to find them in a short period of time.”
On the other side, old Steve was fiddling with the smart coffee machine.
"Don't worry about that. I think they will make new moves soon."
Hearing this, Carter was puzzled.
"How can you be sure?"
Old Steve looked at Charlotte and then changed the subject.
"By the way, how do you make coffee without coffee beans?" he asked.
Felicia, who was visiting the balcony, said, "In the cabinet under the coffee machine."
"How do you know?" Old Steve really found coffee beans without any labels in the cabinet.
“I have the same one at home.”
"Very good, I've made a note of it. I will definitely blow up this expensive-looking coffee machine when the time comes."
After saying that, old Steve continued to study how to grind coffee beans.
Lizard Parker found the utility room and hid the weapons he had snatched from the Four Black Generals in a corner.
"Well, that should be fine." He smiled with satisfaction.
Then he went to the living room and saw the Brooklyn Bridge incident being reported on TV.
He was just about to join in the conversation between Charlotte and Carter, but when the cell phone in his pocket rang, he suddenly felt guilty.
"Why don't you answer the phone?" Carter asked, turning around.
Lizard Parker was embarrassed. "Um... I."
"It's the landlord calling. He owes four months' rent." Charlotte guessed.
Lizard Parker glared at Charlotte and said, "What the hell is that to you!"
Having said that, he hung up the phone, pretended nothing had happened, and came to old Steve to work on the coffee machine together.
After a while, Gwen's voice suddenly appeared.
"Hey guys, do you like this place?"
In front of the French window, Gwen was hanging upside down outside the window along the spider silk, which scared everyone.
"Spider-Man never goes through the front door?" Carter asked Charlotte.
Charlotte shrugged. "I guess she gave me the key, so she had to go through the window."
"She could have knocked."
Old Steve complained.
Seeing Gwen roll over and enter the house, Felicia spoke immediately.
"I want the bedroom on the far left."
Gwen: "."
This is her bedroom. What a good taste.
"Let's not talk about this for now. There is something very important."
She gathered everyone to the table and threw the hood on the sofa.
"The bodies of the four aliens disappeared." She said solemnly.
"Disappeared?"
Carter thought thoughtfully, "They should have been eliminated."
"Eliminated?" Gwen was puzzled, and Lizard Parker explained the reason to her.
After listening to Lizard Parker's explanation, Gwen became more curious about the resurrection match.
Carter noticed a detail.
"No, the four Black Generals were eliminated, so why are their weapons still there?" she frowned.
After these words were spoken, Charlotte and old Steve looked at each other again.
"There is no time limit for this mission, and the outcome is undecided. They are not necessarily losers, so they should not be considered eliminated." Charlotte explained.
But Carter still had doubts, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Since the stubborn players in the resurrection match said so, she, a newcomer who had only won the resurrection match once, certainly had no reason to continue to doubt it.
After all, I don't have much experience.
On the side, old Steve approached Gwen and whispered, "Tell me honestly, did your father commit a crime?"
Gwen: “????”
"watt?"
"What he means is, how could you buy such a big house?" Felicia rolled her eyes.
Gwen reacted and couldn't help but laugh.
"This has nothing to do with my father. I applied for a patent for related materials using artificial spider silk. This is the property I bought with the patent fees."
“Artificial spider silk?”
Charlotte wanted to cry but had no tears. "I envy this world so much because there is no damn Tony Stark here."
He didn't want to continue talking about this topic.
He stood up and walked towards one of the rooms, "I'm going to sleep first."
"That's the room I've taken a fancy to," Lizard Parker reminded.
Charlotte didn't even turn his head. "I'm in a bad mood now. If you say another word, I will beat you up." He raised his fist and threatened.
"you"
Lizard Parker was not convinced and just as he opened his mouth, old Steve covered his mouth.
"Shh, you can't beat him."
Lizard Parker: “.”
Although it makes sense.
But I don’t accept it!
However, even more devastating things are yet to come.
-
The next morning, after breakfast, Charlotte and others were preparing to go out to look for clues about the Evil Six.
"Do not!!"
Suddenly, Parker, the lizard with a messy hair, opened the door. He rushed to the living room, slid to his knees and faced the French window.
Looking at the busy city streets, he shed tears of sadness.
Ever since Charlotte appeared, his life has been completely messed up.
It used to be just pure poverty.
But now, he is unemployed!
Carter stood up and walked over, handing Lizard Parker a cup of hot milk.
"You won't blame us for not calling you for breakfast, will you?"
"No, that's not the case."
Lizard Parker said frantically, "My boss just called me and told me I was fired."
Elderly Steve looked sympathetic, "That's terrible news. By the way, what's your job?"
“Delivery pizza.”
Old Steve's face twitched, "Well, actually you can find another one."
"You don't understand. He's going to deduct half a month's salary from me." Lizard Parker covered his chest, his heart bleeding.
Charlotte's face changed, "What? Deduct salary? It's over, the Parker family's sky is going to fall!!" His face was full of horror.
Felicia and Gwen looked at each other. They found it hard to understand the thoughts of these poor guys.
"Peter, what is going on?" Gwen asked softly as she stepped forward to help the lizard Parker up.
Lizard Parker's face was filled with sadness. "I've already applied for leave in advance, but my boss just called me and told me that I stole a customer's pizza, and I was fired. My salary was also deducted, and I still have four months' rent to pay!"
Gwen frowned, "Could this be a mistake? You're obviously with us."
Lizard Parker shook his head, "I don't know."
"We are going out anyway, so we might as well ask what's going on." said old Steve.
Charlotte came over and patted Lizard Parker on the shoulder.
"We are backing you up, so you won't get a penny less in salary!" he said with a firm look in his eyes.
Lizard Parker looked up at Charlotte at this moment, his eyes full of emotion. "Yes, not a cent less."
The sunlight shines through the French windows onto the two of them, and a light golden halo ripples out, which seems to symbolize the purest friendship between men.
Behind the two of them, everyone looked at them strangely.
"What are they doing?" Felicia's mouth twitched.
Gwen mused, "It seems like they've reconciled."
Old Steve shook his head. "No, this is just the empathy that arises from the poor people's fear of losing their only wealth, which makes them abandon their personal grudges and temporarily unite to face the outside world in a unified manner."
Gwen: “????”
"Although I don't understand, I understand and respect it," she said.
Carter held his forehead helplessly, "Once we get our salary back, this friendship will end."
"Yes."
Elderly Steve looked at Carter, "So we won't join them. Let's go look for clues about the Sinister Six first."
"it is good."
Carter and others left quietly.
Charlotte rode Lizard Parker's six-handed motorcycle, and the two of them traveled through the streets to the pizza shop.
"You go in and argue with them first. If anything happens, I will go in and help you the first time." Charlotte urged.
Lizard Parker looked at him strangely, "Are you inexperienced?"
Charlotte looked up at the sky and said, "I admit that I was impulsive just now."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the other person, "You don't dare to go in alone?"
"Of course I dare. Wait for me."
Lizard Parker took a deep breath, then strode into the pizza shop with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Peter Parker, I've already returned half a month's salary to you. I don't want to see you again. Get out!"
Amid the boss's roar, Lizard Parker ran out of the pizza shop in shame.
"Someone took my salary."
Lizard Parker hunched his back and looked lifeless, forming a sharp contrast with the energetic old man on the roadside.
Hearing this, Charlotte also realized something was wrong.
"It looks like another Peter Parker has appeared." He said, stroking his chin.
"Another Peter Parker?" Lizard Parker wondered.
"Yes."
Charlotte smiled and comforted her, "He is also a contestant. Although he likes to eat the brains of his own kind, and his strength is over a hundred tons, and he is immortal, don't worry, he is a good person, an innocent girl who likes Abi Jiong Jiong Jiong."
"What? Could it be..."
Lizard Parker's face turned pale instantly, and he suddenly thought of the terrible teammates he met in the second resurrection match.
The difference is, that guy isn't a girl.
But a real monster!
"Yes, it's your former teammate." Charlotte said with certainty.
Lizard Parker looked horrified, "So what should we do now?"
Charlotte thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to your house first, maybe we can find this guy."
"He probably doesn't know where I live."
"No, if he can mess up your job, he can mess up your house."
"What are we waiting for? We have to go back quickly." Lizard Parker quickly started his scooter.
Half an hour later, in the old apartment.
"Peter Parker, you broke my door last night and you didn't answer the phone, so you owe me five months in total."
Without waiting for the landlord to finish speaking, Charlotte took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Count and see if it's enough."
The landlord was stunned. “What did you say?”
"I'm responsible for paying Peter's rent!" Charlotte said with her head held high.
At this moment, in the eyes of Lizard Parker, Charlotte was emitting a sacred light.
He was moved again.
From now on, Charlotte is his God!
Seeing the landlord start counting money, Lizard Parker moved closer to Charlotte.
"Where did you get your money?"
Charlotte glanced at him and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out to work overtime."
"Overtime? You find a job really fast."
“I’ve always had a job.”
Then, with the landlord's satisfied smile, Lizard Parker walked in to check, but did not find anyone strange.
There were cockroaches and rats everywhere.
Seeing this, Charlotte turned and asked the landlord.
"Was Peter home last night?" he asked.
The landlord looked at Parker the Lizard with a puzzled look.
"Of course, he was accompanied by a woman, and she gave me her business card."
He handed the business card to Charlotte, "Peter was a little dazed last night, like he was drunk. The woman sent him back and asked me to help find Peter's friends."
As he said this, he couldn't help but point at the lizard Parker and laugh.
"You are quite good at picking up girls. That woman was really deceived by you."
Hearing this, Lizard Parker gnashed his teeth.
“So did I succeed?”
"Are you really drunk?"
"Ah."
"Well, it's a pity that only you know what happened after you went home with her."
"Go home with her?"
Lizard Parker's eyes widened, then he turned around and burst into tears.
"Why, why can a monster find a girlfriend, but I am still a pathetic and humble virgin? It hurts. It hurts so much!!"
Charlotte stared at the business card and thought for a while.
Betty, The Daily Bugle.
Could it be eaten?
Thinking about it, he said to Lizard Parker: "Lend me your phone."
Lizard Parker, who was squatting in the corner, shook his head, "I owe money."
Charlotte: “.”
"Use mine, it's free." The enthusiastic landlord handed over the phone.
"Thank you."
Charlotte dialed the number on the business card.
"Hi, I'm Peter Parker's friend."
"Friend of Peter, that's great, I finally found you. Peter is here with me, he's in a bad condition, please come and pick him up."
"Tell me the address."
-
An hour later, Charlotte and Lizard Parker returned to Gwen's apartment building.
"That woman named Betty lives here too?"
Lizard Parker gritted his teeth, "That monster is so happy!!"
He held his head and wailed, enduring countless blows in one day.
"Don't cry, be a man and be strong."
Charlotte patted the other person on the shoulder and walked into the elevator.
Coincidentally, Betty's house is just downstairs from Gwen's.
Before entering the door, Charlotte smelled the scent of money again.
Is Betty in this world a rich second-generation?
Then will Betty in the main world be the same?
Thinking about this, he rang the doorbell.
"Ding dong~"
"coming."
The moment the door opened, the woman with the facial mask was stunned when she looked at Lizard Parker.
"Peter Parker?"
The mask fell to the ground, and Betty looked surprised.
"Are you twins?" She looked at Peter Parker who was playing with the cat in the living room.
Peter Parker turned around at the sound and frowned slightly when he saw Lizard Parker.
However, when his eyes fell on Charlotte, he couldn't help but smile.
"I know you, you must be my friend."
He came up to Charlotte with a silly smile on his face.
Betty was puzzled. "You guys."
"We are triplets," Charlotte explained.
"But your looks"
"A little more handsome."
