To an obedient child, staying out at night was an unforgivable sin. Of course, this was only applicable to children. Parker was already an adult who was about to enter university. His gentle and strict Uncle Ben wouldn't stop Parker from interacting with his friends. Of course, as a bookworm, it was difficult for Parker himself to find suitable friends.
Sergues called Parker's uncle, Ben Parker, as Mia's father. After hearing the laughter of the girls in the background and Parker's promise, Ben and his wife, who were over 50 years old, were relieved. Seeing that the boy had his own life, his uncle and aunty were relieved. So, although they were a little worried about Sergues's rude remarks, they did not stop Parker from staying the night. They just reminded him to come back early the next day.
That night, the energetic girls played until it was almost midnight before they went to rest. Parker was arranged to stay with Santos. This guy was getting more and more familiar with his "business", and the coldness he exuded was increasing. Parker felt uncomfortable staying with him, especially when Santos took out two daggers and wiped them with a handkerchief as if no one else was around. The gentle expression on his face made Parker, who was still very young, feel a chill run down his spine.
He had never looked forward to the arrival of midnight so much. When the clock on the wall pointed to 12 o 'clock, the dagger in Santos' hand suddenly disappeared from his palm. He turned his head and glanced at Parker, who was a little restless, and a stiff smile appeared on his cold face.
"Go, Boss Saber is waiting for you!"
Parker was stunned. He looked up, adjusted his clothes, and said to Santos, "Thank you."
But the latter had already disappeared from the chair. In just a moment, Parker swore that he saw the whole process of Santos turning into mist and disappearing. His shoulders trembled. He suddenly realized that except for the meeting four years ago, he seemed to know nothing about Saber and his forces. This meeting seemed a little hasty.
"But Mr. Saber doesn't look like a bad guy …"
He used this reason to convince himself. Then, he pushed the door open and walked quietly in the luxurious corridor like a thief until he came to a dark living room. He saw the figure sitting by the fireplace with his back to him.
"You're here, Parker. I never thought that we would meet in this way. Fate is such a magical thing, isn't it?"
Saber's eyes flashed. The first flame rose in the fortress in front of him and burned rapidly. In the crackling sound of dry wood, the temperature of the whole living room rose rapidly, dispelling the only trace of coldness in the air. Saber stood up, fiddling with the sandalwood fan in his hand. He took two bottles of wine from the wine cabinet next to him. He turned to Parker and whispered.
"You're not 18 yet, right?"
Parker nodded subconsciously. "Uh … I'm 17 this year."
"Okay, then you can't drink this."
Seber shrugged and put the bottle of wine back on the table. He then took out a bottle of juice and threw it to Parker. He leaned back on the sofa and gestured for Parker to sit opposite him. After seeing Seber's lazy movements and familiar tone, Parker's nervousness dissipated a little. He quickly sat opposite Seber. He saw Seber take out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table. He wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he said, "Hey, Mr. Seber.
"Uh, actually, Sika cigarettes aren't your best choice, Mr. Saber. This kind of cigarette has a higher nicotine content than other cigarettes. To ensure the taste, the tar content is also higher than normal cigarettes. You can try other brands. It's too unhealthy."
"What?"
Saber's expression instantly became very interesting. He shook the cigarette in his hand. "Child, there are many things in this world that are harmful to us and can take away our lives. Sharp swords, deadly bullets, and poison, but this is the only thing that doesn't exist! It can't kill me … And you see, I've already decided to smoke. I don't even need to think about which brand to choose … Okay, let's stop this awkward conversation and get to the point. You, what happened? "
This question entered Parker's ears after the first wisp of smoke from the cigarette in Saber's hand floated up. The 17-year-old boy lowered his head. He was silent for a moment before he said,
"I was bitten by a spider."
"Hmm?"
Saber leaned forward and took a sip of wine. There was a curious expression on his face. "And then?"
Parker curled his lips.
"That's it. That's all."
"Ha!"
Saber leaned back on the sofa and said with a playful look, "Parker boy, compared to four years ago, you're really not honest enough. You were bitten by a spider, and then you became Superman? Do you think I'll believe that? "
"But it's true … I know it's hard to believe."
Peter Parker drank juice and said helplessly, "Fourteen days ago, we went to visit the laboratory of Osborne Industries. Mr. Connors and I had a good talk. When we left, it was already night. Just as I walked out of the laboratory, a fist-sized spider bit my finger. As a result, I had a high fever that night. I thought I was poisoned, but in a daze, I remembered a lot of things. The next morning … I became like this."
He stretched out his finger and gently pressed it on the ashtray on the table in front of Saber. A clear fingerprint appeared on the surface of the steel ashtray, which made Saber squint his eyes.
"Hard to believe, it's just a spider … But it doesn't matter. What I want to know is, what do you remember?"
Parker took off his glasses and placed them on the table. The young man, who was still smiling earlier, had his expression turn a little gloomy.
"A lot, some things that I thought I had forgotten, the men in black who appeared four times in the past 17 years, the silver pen that can make people lose their memories in a flash, and the things that happened when we met, and finally … S.H.I.E.L.D. Mr. Seiber, I'm … very confused now."
"Why? Parker. "
Saber crossed his legs and looked at Parker in front of him. There was an unknown light in his narrowed eyes. He said softly, "Isn't it a good thing to regain your memory?"
"But the more I know, the more painful it is for me."
Parker rubbed his hair with both hands and said with a conflicted expression, "My past life, oh my God, it's like the Truman Show. Everything was arranged for me, and I don't know who I should trust. And SHIELD, it's now clear that my parents' disappearance is related to them. I want to investigate, but what happened four years ago has taught me to be cautious … I may not have to be afraid of them anymore, but my uncle and aunt, they're just ordinary people."
He looked up, his eyes full of pleading.
"I don't know what to do. Mr. Saber, it's all so sudden. I don't know who to ask for advice, but I think this is God's guidance for me. You're not an ordinary person, are you? And Santals, I saw him with my own eyes … "
"Shh."
Saber made a silent gesture to Parker. He drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, held the fan in front of him, and said to Parker, "Come with me.
"Follow me, child. A secret topic requires a secret location. From now on, you have to learn to protect yourself and your secrets."
Five minutes later, they arrived at the basement of the villa. Based on Seiber's habits, the basement had been converted into a place for combat training. All the necessary equipment was present. Seiber stretched his body and stood in the middle of the brightly lit ground. He waved at Parker, who had a confused look on his face.
He moved his wrists and looked at the young man in front of him.
"Come, let me see what you have now, and fight with me!"
"No, no, no, I can't!"
Parker shook his hands and stepped back, his face full of confusion. "I'm here as a guest, I can't do this. I can find a dummy or something to test it on. I still can't control my strength well."
"Ha! So you're afraid of hurting me? "
Saber spun the fan in his hand, and he appeared one meter in front of Parker like a shadow. The fan in his hand whistled and smashed toward Parker's shoulder. The latter's eyes widened. His consciousness couldn't keep up with his instincts, but his body was already in a defensive posture.
Swoosh!
The punch slid down Parker's chest, and in less than a second, Parker completed the entire process of dodging. His left fist shot out like a bolt of lightning and landed on Seiber's face. The speed of the punch was extremely fast, but the strength behind it was obviously insufficient. Seiber didn't even feel much pain, but his counterattack was still impressive enough.
This made Saber happy. He laughed and threw the fan into the sky, then continued to rush toward the retreating Parker with his fists.
"You're good! Parker, you've really surprised me! Again! "
Bang, bang, bang!
The slightly serious Saber instantly increased the pressure on Parker, who had just heaved a sigh of relief. Especially under the influence of Beast Perception, Saber could almost dodge all of his punches. And Saber's punches had unimaginable strength. Every time he punched, Parker's instinctive warning would go crazy, making him more and more anxious.
"Your combat skills are a mess! Your fighting spirit is weak! That damned spider only gave you the ability to dodge? You idiot, attack! Take the initiative to attack! "
Under Saber's continuous heavy punches and angry roars, Parker, who was already under great pressure, felt a little dizzy. His legs were on the wall, and he stared at Saber, pouncing toward him like a spring. He clenched his left hand into a fist and threw a powerful straight punch at Saber's neck.
Bang!
Saber stretched out his left hand and firmly caught Parker's fist. Without moving, he raised his arm and threw Parker to the ground. The young man turned around gracefully in the air, and with a strange speed that completely defied biological instincts, he turned around and kicked Saber's chest. This time, Saber finally took a step back. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, like a wild beast that bared its fangs.
"This attack is finally a little interesting."
"Huff … Huff …"
Parker stood on the spot, breathing heavily. His face was already covered in sweat. He had never felt that combat was such a torturous thing. In the past half a month, the limited experience of beating away thieves and robbers gave him some confidence. But now, in just a short two minutes, this confidence was crushed. Saber was like a mountain, blocking in front of him, giving him great pressure.
"Kid, I'm going to get serious! Just this one attack! "
The heat in Saber's body was awakened once again. The temporary increase in strength allowed his body to move a little. In an instant, he disappeared from Parker's vision. Parker's crazy instinct made him instinctively cross his arms to block his chest.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Parker felt as if he had been hit by a battering ram. His whole body was sent flying backward into the sky. In the midst of the spinning world, he saw Saber, whose left hand had turned into a ferocious claw, rushing towards him once again. Under such an intense threat, he no longer held back his final trump card. He spread out his arms, and two silvery white spider webs flew out from his sleeves, accurately hitting Saber's left arm and right leg, fixing his body on the spot.
Bang!
Parker's body hit the ground. His arms were in pain as if they were about to break. His whole body was sore. The all-out attack just now had directly destroyed all his defenses. He lay on the ground and struggled for a few seconds without being able to get up. It felt as if hundreds of elephants had trampled over his body, and his bones were about to break.
Then he felt a figure walking towards him. He raised his head, his face rubbing against the ground awkwardly, and saw Saber stretching out his left hand.
The ferocious claw covered with purplish-black scales stretched out towards him, and in less than two seconds, it returned to its original appearance. Parker stretched out his hand, and Saber pulled him up from the ground. The latter reached out to help him adjust his clothes and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have a talent that makes me jealous, but you use it in a mess. Parker, if you really intend to find out the truth about your parents, my advice to you is to … increase your battle strength as fast as you can. The current you is too weak."
There was a strange smile in his eyes.
"Of course, whether it's combat power, or finding trouble with SHIELD … I can help you!"
"We're on the same team now, kid. Let's start with the first lesson tonight. If you want to learn how to hit people, you must first learn how to be hit … Are you ready?"
