Chapter 217 The Spiderweb Left Behind, Cindy, Two Gwens Arrive!
Chapter 217 The Spiderweb Left Behind, Cindy, Two Gwens Arrive!
Just as their faces were about to touch, a large, cold hand covered Spider Silk's face and pressed her back down onto the bed.
As the golden light of the Mind Gem passed through Toby's palm and entered her brain via her spider-like features, her physical urges finally subsided, and the lust in her eyes calmed down once more...
As for Toby himself, the moment he sensed the anomaly, he used the Mind Stone and the Frost Giant's freezing power to calm himself down both mentally and physically.
Although he never rejected his fondness for Seres, because it was the primal will engraved in the DNA of every living being, and the only way for natural organisms to continue their existence.
There's nothing wrong with Sese; the world can't function without her.
But... Toby didn't like being forced to do the serpentine thing, even if it was his own spider-sense and body that were forcing him!
His body can only be governed by his own soul!
Spider-Sense, no good!
Toby removed his hand from Spiderweb's face, which had calmed down, and smiled. "You wanted to see me, and I'm here. So, Miss Cindy Moon, what do you want?"
Spiderweb stared blankly at Toby, who was finally face to face with her, momentarily stunned...
Although she had calmed down thanks to her ice powers and the Mind Stone, she could still clearly sense that the other person was definitely one of only two Spider-Men she could sense in all the universes!
She is also a special Spider-Man whose connection to her universe is even stronger than that of Peter Parker, who was bitten by the same super spider!
Seeing that Spider Silk was just staring at him without saying a word, Toby couldn't help but touch his face and tease, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think I'm too handsome and want to pursue me?"
Unexpectedly, Spider nodded seriously at his joke: "Is that alright?"
Toby: ?
"Is anything okay?"
Spider Silk blinked. "May I pursue you?"
Toby's lips twitched violently upon hearing this. This was only the second time he had met a girl who had been so direct with him on their very first meeting...
And the one before Spider Silk, needless to say, is Gwen...
When Toby rescued Gwen, the first thing she asked him when she looked at him in his arms was if he could be her boyfriend...
As you later learned, Gwen was rejected by Toby because of her age.
But at this moment, Spider-Silk is already of age, and apart from her looks, all her stats are higher than Gwent's...
However, even though all the indicators met the standards, Toby still had a bit of a problem...
After all, he had only signed a three-party contract. If he told the other two Gwens now that the contract needed to be amended and a fourth shareholder wanted to invest in them, he was afraid the other two shareholders would withdraw their investments on the spot...
Toby can tell the difference between having one shareholder and having two shareholders—which is more important...
Moreover, as the chairman, even if the new shareholder has a lot of "capital" to invest, shouldn't he at least do some research first?
Finally, after a slight hesitation, Toby shook his head:
"Miss Cindy Moon, while I appreciate your honesty, I think we don't know each other well enough, especially me. You might not know that I already have girlfriends, and more than one. So, if you don't want to fall for a playboy, you'd better be careful..."
"Now that you're awake, choose where you want to go..."
"I'll give you three choices. First, I'll have someone send you back to your own universe, back to your original life. Second, stay in the Spider Alliance and become a member. Third..."
"I choose third!" Before Toby could finish speaking, Cindy Spider had already made her choice without hesitation.
This surprised Toby somewhat: "You don't want to go back to your own universe?"
In this Inheritor event, many Spider-Men from other universes came to his universe, but without exception, they all only stayed temporarily in their own universes, and ultimately still longed to return to their own...
The same goes for short-haired Gwen...
After all, in another universe, each of the Spider-Men has their beloved family members...
Spider Silk offered an explanation, curling up on the bed with her legs drawn up, looking forlorn:
"I have nothing left in my own universe. My parents died in an accident before I gained my spider powers. The only person in that world who was connected to me was never connected to me in the first place. I don't want to stay in that lonely world anymore..."
"So...can I stay in this universe where you are?"
Looking at the spider silk that looked just as pitiful as Sylvie's, Toby rubbed his temples and waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, that's enough. You can stay in this universe and join my spider family. This will be your new home from now on."
Spiderweb's eyes lit up, and she jumped into Toby's arms, saying, "Thank you!"
Sensing Cindy's stunning figure beneath her thin, spider-skin armor, Toby felt his barely suppressed anger rising again...
He seems to regret rejecting the spider silk in sage mode. What should he do?
However, Cindy didn't act impulsively this time. She simply hugged Toby and didn't intend to take it any further...
And then, the door to the medical room opened again, completely interrupting any potential further development between the two...
And those who entered were Gwen and her companion, one with long hair and the other with short hair.
After waking up, the two heard Scarlett Johansson emphasize that Toby had gone to meet a beautiful girl alone, so they rushed downstairs as fast as they could.
They can accept sharing Toby with another version of themselves, but they are not so quick to accept sharing Toby with another stranger.
Silk and Toby's special connection usually only occurs when they are alone together, so with the arrival of the other two Gwens, neither Silk nor Toby developed any special feelings for each other.
After learning about Cindy's background, both Gwens felt sorry for Cindy, who had nothing.
So naturally, the three of them became best friends after chatting for a short time.
Toby, on the other hand, was left standing aside by the three of them.
Finally, the three of them went out shopping hand in hand, with the two saying they wanted to welcome Cindy and help her get acquainted with the world.
So Toby was left alone here.
Toby's lips twitched. Short-haired Gwen and Cindy might not have done it on purpose, but he was sure that long-haired Gwen was definitely getting revenge on him.
After all, Gwen from my own universe still has a bit of a cunning side...
