Chapter 415 Peter's Intellectual Highlights
"Spider-Man? What are you looking at?"
Seeing that Peter had not yet launched an attack on the Iron Monger, Sitwell's heart skipped a beat.
Sitwell knew in his heart that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him.
Therefore, even knowing that his actions would inevitably arouse Peter's suspicion, Sitwell could only speak in a tone full of confusion and fear, interrupting Peter's train of thought.
"That monster is right there, it could strike at any moment—"
"Hey, Mr. Sitwell!"
But before Sitwell could finish speaking, Peter spoke up.
His voice still sounded light and cheerful, even with a touch of his signature playful tone, as natural as greeting a neighbor on the streets of Queens.
But the eyes beneath the mask were fixed sharply on the other person, not the more threatening Iron Monger. Those eyes, through the white goggles, held a childlike focus, yet were so sharp they sent chills down Sitwell's spine.
"Can I ask... um, a small question? Just to satisfy my curiosity?"
The relaxed tone and the clearly targeted movements—Spider-Man's body slightly turned to the side, not facing the Iron Monger completely, but maintaining an angle that allowed him to both monitor the Iron Monger and be ready to deal with Sitwell at any moment—made Sitwell increasingly uneasy.
This kid...is he wary of me?
"Of...of course." Sitwell forced a weak smile, his fingers clenching slightly with nervousness. "You saved my life from this monster, so of course you can ask..."
He deliberately emphasized the phrase "saved my life" in an attempt to reinforce his identity as a "victim".
At the same time, his hand instinctively moved towards the pistol at his waist—an almost instinctive self-defense action that an agent takes when he senses a threat.
But the moment his fingers touched the gun handle, Sitwell suddenly became alert.
No.
That's not right.
Not to mention that Sitwell had a very clear understanding that even if he launched a sneak attack, he would have absolutely no chance of defeating Peter—Spider-Man's speed, strength, reaction speed, and that damn spider-sense all meant that any attack would be difficult for Peter to hit and achieve its intended effect...
Even if I were to actually hurt Peter, or even kill him?
Without a doubt, Sitwell, and even Hydra behind him, will face an even more terrifying black monster in the years to come, relentlessly and insanely pursuing them!
After all, that black monster, who looked almost identical to Peter, was dubbed the "Villain Killing Machine" because his cruel and bloodthirsty nature was exposed some time ago!
He single-handedly destroyed drug manufacturing dens scattered around the world!
So much so that Sitwell had no doubt that if Black Spider-Man knew about Hydra's existence, then within a day... no, it should be said that within half an hour, Hydra would die before it even got off the ground and completely disappear into the annals of history!
Therefore, he simply imagined in his mind what the consequences would be if the "sidekick" who was so highly regarded by the Black Spider-Man really died here, or even if he was only slightly injured...
Sitwell couldn't help but shiver, quickly removing his hand from the gun handle and even deliberately raising it to shoulder height in a harmless shrug.
Clearly, at this moment, Sitwell, even knowing that the other party had already guessed something, just wanted to get a definite answer from him... or rather, was simply stalling for time.
But with no better option at the moment, Sitwell could only console himself, hoping he was wrong, while bracing himself for Peter's further questions and trying to fool his "friendly neighbor."
"That's good. My first question is... why are you here?"
Peter tilted his head, and thanks to the properties of his nanosuit, the goggles on his mask blinked a few times in a rather human-like way, making Peter's overall image appear even more obedient and adorable, like a model student full of thirst for knowledge.
"With so much happening lately, I assumed you... or rather, any S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, would be incredibly busy at this time. How come you have time to appear in Times Square, New York?"
Upon hearing this, Sitwell couldn't help but glance at Peter up and down a couple more times.
hiss……
In his memory, this red and blue Spider-Man had always been the black Spider-Man's sidekick. During operations, he almost never showed any independent thought; he simply did whatever the black Spider-Man told him to do.
But why is it that the questions raised now are so sharp, hitting the nail on the head!
This shouldn't be the kind of intelligence and strategy you possess!
Could it be...?
Is it because the black Spider-Man is not present, and there is no "external brain" to rely on, that the clever intelligence has regained the upper hand?
