Chapter 172 Gwen being hunted down by the heir?
Toby casually pressed the answer button, turned on the speakerphone, and tossed the phone onto the table: "Speak."
Immediately after Toby uttered a single word, a voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Mr. Toby Parker, first of all, I'm very sorry that our people have caused you trouble. Secondly, I want to explain to you that my sending the captain to apply for a job at your company was absolutely not out of any ill intent, nor was it intended to hide anything from you. Otherwise, the captain wouldn't have so openly displayed his unusual behavior..."
Unsurprisingly, Pierce's first action after the call connected was not to express Hydra's toughness and threats, but to apologize to Toby in a show of weakness.
In the end, this world still belongs to the mighty...
Toby wasn't surprised, and said calmly, "Don't waste my time, just say it, what's your purpose?"
Pierce, his voice heavy with suppressed excitement, said from the other end of the line, "I have only one goal: to cooperate with you and together change this world ravaged by war and squid!"
"I want to... change the unfair fate of all those who are born ordinary!"

"Give up, poor little spider. No matter where you run, your fate is destined to be my meal. Rather than struggling helplessly, you might as well accept your fate."
As the sound of shattering echoed through the air, a spatial rift in a New York alley shattered like glass, and a slender white figure was thrown out in a disheveled manner!
She is... Gwen Stacy, the Ghost Spider!
From the spatial rift from which she had been thrown out in a sorry state, a woman with white hair and red clothes stepped out with a long leg, and was about to walk out in Gwen's terrified eyes.
This white-haired woman was naturally also a member of the Heirs family, namely Bora, the sister of Brix, the white-haired, red-clothed man who was killed by Deadpool!
But just as Bora landed, preparing to hunt the little female spider, her expression suddenly changed, and she froze on the spot!
Then, with a grim expression, she glanced around, glared at Gwen, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Damn it, you actually stumbled into this universe by accident! You really hit the jackpot today!!!"
This is because this is the special universe that Molen currently forbids anyone from their heir family, except for Kahn, from entering!
That is... the universe where the bully spider who triggered the prophecy of their heir's family's destruction resides!
Before regaining his full strength, Mo Lun was unwilling to provoke her, let alone someone whose strength was far inferior to Mo Lun's!
After speaking with a mixture of resentment and hidden fear, Bora, to Gwen's bewildered gaze, quickly retracted the foot she had stepped out, retreated back into the spatial rift, and immediately closed it!
Seeing that the terrifying woman who had been chasing her was really gone, Gwen, who was exhausted from running away, finally felt relieved. She leaned against the wall in the alley, panting heavily as she recalled her ordeal.
My name is Gwen Stacy, and as you can see, I am Spider-Man, but... not the Spider-Man of this universe.
I come from Earth-65. In my universe, Peter Parker didn't become Spider-Man; instead, he was transformed into the Lizard in an accident and died because of me...
After Peter's death, I not only lost my only friend, but also developed a rift with Commissioner Stacy, Peter's father, because of my hidden Spider-Man identity, who believed Spider-Man had killed Peter...
But I didn't give up my identity as Spider-Man. Instead, carrying on Peter's legacy, I continued to fight crime in New York as Spider-Man!
Until... one day, a mysterious woman with white hair and red clothes suddenly appeared from a spatial rift during my battle with the supervillain Vulture.
She easily tore the vulture, which even I struggled to defeat, in two, and ignored my prized spider senses, launching a deadly pursuit against me!
No matter how I run or where I run, it's as if she has a GPS tracker on me, and she can always accurately find me when I'm hiding!
This is the first time since becoming Spider-Man that I've felt such a profound sense of powerlessness and despair...
Finally, I knew I couldn't run away anymore, otherwise I would just be toyed with and killed by that wretched cat, like a cat playing with a mouse!
After several chases, I also discovered that every time the woman suddenly appeared from the spatial rift, she would twist a bracelet on her wrist to close the spatial rift behind her.
This gave me a plan!
Therefore, when the white-haired woman appeared before me again, I took the initiative to attack her for the first time, snatched her bracelet when she was not paying attention, and embarked on my multiverse journey.
I thought that this would be the end of getting rid of that terrifying woman, but to my surprise, even after I traveled to other universes, that terrifying woman still came after me.
She has more than one time-travel bracelet!
It's still that feeling of helplessness, of being completely exposed in front of the other person...
I tried to find Spider-Men in the worlds I traveled to for help, but without exception, even when I teamed up with other Spider-Men, we were no match for that terrifying woman.
Spider-Men died in front of me, trying to protect themselves and buy themselves a chance to escape.
After causing the deaths of several Spider-Men, I knew I couldn't let myself implicate Spider-Men from other universes. So, when I traveled to other universes, I stopped seeking help from the local Spider-Men and simply ran away...
Perhaps... even I myself have lost hope of surviving...
And so, she chased, I fled, until even I, Spider-Man, was exhausted and couldn't run anymore. I twisted the bracelet and arrived at the next universe of my journey, which was also... the final stop...
That's what I originally thought, because I really couldn't run anymore, and I didn't want to run anymore...
But to my surprise, this time, the terrifying woman who had chased me relentlessly didn't pursue me as usual. Instead, just as she was about to succeed, she unexpectedly chose to retreat, and even...
I also saw a hint of fear in her eyes, though it was subtle, it was very real!
Is she afraid?
This woman who killed several Spider-Men is now actually afraid!
What could someone who can freely traverse the universe and hunt down Spider-Man possibly be afraid of...?
"Gwen?"
Just as Gwen's memories were coming to an end and this question occupied her mind, she suddenly heard a voice calling her name from behind.
Gwen turned her head mechanically and saw a tall, silver-gray figure at the end of the alley, almost filling the entire entrance. He was backlit, causing his shadow to stretch so long it covered her curled-up body...
For some reason, Gwen felt an unprecedented sense of security under the shadow's "protection"...
Looking at the figure whose face was obscured by the sunlight, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and an overwhelming feeling of grievance and an urge to cry welled up inside her...
