Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"Dr. Connors is almost at Osborne Tower." Hawkeye flew on the top of the building. "We may be too late."

"Ha, I've been prepared." Tony didn't panic. He snapped his fingers, and the block where the Osborne Building was located suddenly fell into darkness.

"Tony, did you hack New York's power supply system?" Natasha asked.

"Hmm, the people there have been evacuated anyway. Even if there is any loss, I will just pay for it." Tony said nonchalantly.

"Pepper doesn't like hearing that." Hawkeye teased.

"Who...who cares about her!"

"Crazy...are you crazy?" Harry looked pale and hid in the corner of the rooftop with Lucas.

Seeing that Lucas insisted on staying on the rooftop, the secretary could not continue to accompany him, but Harry was unwilling to watch Lucas face the monster alone, so he stayed with him.

"I told you you can leave..." Lucas said helplessly.

"This is my building."

Although he was so scared that his body was shaking slightly, Harry said firmly.

Looking at Harry's shining eyes, Lucas felt that this reason was open to question. He really couldn't tell that Harry still liked someone who liked excitement.

A huge figure climbed onto the rooftop of the Osborne Building, and his ferocious appearance could be clearly seen in the moonlight.

Harry subconsciously grabbed Lucas' coat and did not dare to move. However, Lucas did not show the slightest fear. The blue eyes under his glasses were extremely calm. He was sizing up Connors's fighting ability.

Connors didn't notice the two little bugs in the corner at all, and rushed straight to the artificial rainfall device with the can of medicine, but the sudden power outage made him freeze in place.

He was just stunned for a few seconds, and then Peter rushed over and threw him to the ground. Due to his great strength, one person and one lizard rolled directly to the guardrail and fell down together.

"Spider-Man..." Harry stood up, put his hands on the guardrail, and watched the battle between them nervously.

Connors and Peter fell all the way to the middle platform. Harry and Lucas couldn't see the details of the battle at all. They could only see two black figures colliding with each other.

"Can Spider-Man defeat that monster?" Harry said worriedly. Once his tense nerves relaxed slightly, he felt weak and his eyesight went dark.

Lucas grabbed Harry and frowned at his excessively pale cheeks, "Are you okay?"

Harry breathed, "I'm okay."

Lucas really felt that Harry's body was really weak. He had never been so outrageous before... probably not?

Guessing that the relationship between the two was no longer so strong, Lucas asked directly: "Is there something wrong with your body?"

In fact, Lucas knew that there was something wrong with his body, but his subconscious told him not to delve into it. Archipad's words that day directly proved his idea. One day, he would become Stronger.

Harry was stunned, "It's okay, but I'm really tired recently... It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"Did it become like this recently?"

"Um……"

After Lucas said that, Harry realized something was wrong. These days, Norman had been forced to work in the office every day to deal with documents, and he hardly exercised, so he didn't notice that his physical fitness seemed to be not as good as before.

"I'll get checked out," he said.

"I'm going down, you go back to the office and rest first." Lucas said.

Harry was stunned, "You... still want to go down?"

"Yeah." Lucas nodded. He took a look at the situation below. Peter was obviously at a disadvantage. His team members were fighting. As the leader, how could he stand by and watch.

If Harry were here, it would be difficult for him to enter the memory space and shake Connors' inner world.

Peter's battle was extremely unsatisfactory. Although the mutation factor gave him better self-healing ability than ordinary people, his self-healing limit was still far from Connors's level.

Seeing that the wound he had just caused on Connors was perfectly healed in the blink of an eye, even Peter was discouraged for a moment, but he knew that he could not stop.

Connors grabbed Peter by the neck and slowly lifted him up, his claws peeling off his mask.

"Poor Peter Parker, no father, no mother, all alone," Connors said slowly, admiring the pained look on Peter's face.

Peter grabbed Connors' hand and said intermittently: "I... am not alone!"

He could clearly see Connors's sluggishness in front of the artificial rain machine, the regional power outage, and Lucas in the corner. Unlike Connors who fought alone, Peter had the help of countless people.

"well said."

As soon as George finished speaking, a stream of liquid nitrogen was sprayed directly into Connors' face. The ultra-low temperature formed a large amount of mist, which was undoubtedly a fatal weakness for Connors who had turned into a lizard man.

Low temperature can't help but make his movements sluggish, and it can also cause the self-healing factors in his body to become inactive.

Connors, who was still holding Peter in his hand, had to make a choice. Connors, who did not want to be infected with liquefied nitrogen on a large scale, chose to let go of Peter and use his thick tail to resist part of the liquefied nitrogen.

The power of liquefied nitrogen was higher than everyone present imagined. The low temperature actually froze Connors' tail off, and the broken section showed no signs of rapid healing.

Peter quickly got up from the ground and looked up to see George's shocked expression.

"No wonder that girl Gwen is so worried about you." George sighed.

He knew about Peter. After all, Gwen didn't hide her specialness towards Peter at all. What's more, Peter himself was an outstanding young man. George had actually been prepared in his heart, but when he saw the young face under Spider-Man's mask, He was still shocked by his face.

"Sorry..." Peter apologized subconsciously.

Connors knew he couldn't tangle with Peter any longer. He didn't have much time.

"Don't even think about leaving!" George discovered Connors' intention to leave, took out his own gun and shot Connors.

The bullet got stuck in the stone-hard muscle, and then fell to the ground.

"You can't stop me!" Connors' strong body ignored George's attack and climbed to the rooftop of the Osborne Building again.

"Damn it!" Ordinary George looked at Connors who was climbing rapidly with annoyance, and finally remembered what Gwen gave him downstairs.

He gave Peter a complicated look and took out the blue antidote from his pocket, "Now, this is Gwen's gift."

"She's fine..." Peter took the antidote blankly.

When he noticed that his future father-in-law looked unhappy, Peter quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant..."

"Go ahead," George interrupted Peter, "and stand before my daughter in peace."

Peter clenched the antidote in his hand, and even though he was scarred, he felt endless power pouring out of his heart.

Although the Osborne Building was powered off by Tony's invasion, how could such a huge group not have emergency measures to deal with the power outage? As an old employee of the Osborne Group, Connors knew exactly how to use backup energy. start up.

But when he rushed to the backup energy source, there was already a person standing next to the backup energy source.

"You...you are Lucas Easton..." Connors saw Lucas's face and pulled out the low-key intern from his memory.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Connors, I won't let you succeed." Lucas said lightly.

He raised his fire ax.

"What! No!" Connors opened his eyes wide and rushed towards Lucas.

But Lucas moved faster, raising and lowering his axe. With a string of electric sparks, Connors' last chance disappeared.

"You damn brat!" Connors was furious and stabbed Lucas in the chest with his sharp claws.

With a grim expression on his face, Lucas jumped sideways, raised his fire ax and struck Connors' claws with an axe.

Blood spurted out immediately, and one of Connors' claws was chopped off by Lucas, but the sharp claws drew a blood line on his cheek.

Connors looked at Lucas in surprise. He didn't expect that there was a master hidden in his laboratory. The impact of the bullet could not penetrate deep into his muscles, but Lucas could easily do it with only an axe. The ground cut off his arm.

The cross section of the wound began to squirm, and his claws quickly grew back.

"You do have some abilities, but that's all." Connors showed a ferocious expression.

"My mission has been completed." Lucas raised his lips.

The moment he finished speaking, Peter broke the window and rushed in.

Lucas raised his arm to stop the scattered broken glass. He looked up and saw Peter injecting the antidote into Connors' body, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"No!!!" Connors screamed, feeling the change in his body.

The lizard scales on his body began to fall off piece by piece, his tail and right hand became grayer and grayer, and flocs continued to fall from these two extra limbs.

"Doctor! Are you awake?" Peter wanted to tie Connors with spider silk, but he had been fighting for a long time and the prepared spider silk had been used up.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Connors, who had been injected with an excessive amount of injection, had not turned into a human form for a while, but the process seemed to be extremely painful for him. He turned over and jumped out of the broken window again, and his huge body hit the water tower nearby.

The water tower holding several tons of water was knocked down and one of its supports could no longer support the weight and was slowly tilting.

Peter's expression changed, "Sure!"

There was no time to lament the hardships of the battle. When he was about to hold up the water tower, a golden-red figure flew over and supported the water tower that was about to fall. At the same time, the laser cannon in his hand shot out and welded the broken bracket.

Although such a temporary measure cannot last for long, at least it will not let these few tons of water fall from the sky now.

"Where's the big lizard?" Tony asked.

"I've injected the antidote into his body." Peter raised his hand.

"Huh? So I'm late?" Tony raised his mask and raised his eyebrows. He looked at Peter who was covered in injuries and Lucas who looked like he was underage next to him, and frowned, but in the end he still Nothing was said.

In any case, Peter did solve most of the crisis this time, and age and strength have nothing to do with it.

Tony saw the scrapped backup energy source behind Lucas and immediately understood what the young man had done. Then he saw that there was no unfamiliar atmosphere between the two.

"Do you know each other?" He fell indoors.

"Yes, Lucas is my friend." Peter said honestly. He didn't think such a small thing could be hidden from Iron Man.

"OKok, you are all brave, but what I said last time is that such dangerous things should be left to us adults."

"But, in the end, we were the ones who stopped Dr. Connors," Lucas said.

He has a calm attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Of course." Tony raised his eyebrows, "You did a good job, I just remind you..."

"Tony, have you found Dr. Connors over there?" Steve's communication interrupted Tony.

"No, you can continue searching underground." Tony replied.

He looked at Peter, "Especially you boy, look at how embarrassed you are, you lack training."

In the past, Tony would not have been unable to say such things, but battle after battle still forced him to master fighting skills. Even Tony, who has always been tough-talking, had to admit that certain skills can determine the success or failure of a battle. Captain America happens to be the best at this.

"I... know." Peter smiled bitterly. Of course he knew that his fighting skills were too rough and had not been systematically trained.

Tony looked at Peter and remembered the information he had read about Peter, the same parents who died young, the same smart brain... He did see his own shadow in Peter.

He crossed his chest, "Do you want to join the Avengers?"

Lucas looked at Tony, poaching in front of him? !

"...Join the Avengers?!" Peter's eyes widened in hindsight.

"Uh-huh." Tony looked at Peter's uniform with several holes in it with disgust, "After you become an Avenger, I will customize a new suit of armor for you instead of wearing this ridiculous set of pajamas."

Peter glanced at his uniform and said helplessly: "Mr. Stark, this isn't enough for pajamas..."

This Spider-Man uniform was made by himself using the materials he obtained in the palace. Although his tailoring work is indeed average, the fabric is definitely first-class. Ordinary fabrics would have been torn apart by an enemy like Dr. Lizard. .

What's more, only Peter knows that this fabric seems to have the effect of reducing stress, which is still very useful.

Feeling Lucas' gaze, Peter finally rejected Tony's invitation.

"Sorry, Mr. Stark, I don't think I'm ready to be an Avenger yet..." he declined.

Peter already has too many identities. He has to go to class during the day, be Spider-Man after school, and work as a member of the Phantom Thieves at night, which is already very busy.

Tony really didn't expect that he would be rejected. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "...Okay, if this is what you think."

Seeing Tony leaving quickly, Peter couldn't help but look at Lucas, "Lucas, do you feel that Mr. Stark is not happy?"

Lucas blinked, looking confused, "Is there any?"
