Chapter 13 Peter Gets Bitten Finally, Gwen Gets a Little Drunk
So this cultivation room is basically a silk-producing room, filled with the silk of the super spider.
Toby gave a cold laugh.
In his view, sending someone to eliminate the person who trained the Super Spider before finding a way to decipher it shows that Norman Osborn is really senile from his family's hereditary disease!
These super spiders are a complete waste at Osborn Enterprises!
Moreover, Osborn Corporation is simply not qualified to possess the super spider created by the Parker family's ingenuity!
A cold glint flashed in Toby's eyes.
With his left hand pressing down on his right wrist, a dozen or so much thinner spider silk threads than normal shot out from his wrist with a soft "poof" sound, precisely wrapping around a dozen super spiders!
With a pull of Toby's wrist, more than a dozen super spiders were wrapped in spider silk into balls slightly larger than marbles during their retrieval.
The spider silk balls had tiny gaps, so Carl wasn't worried that these super spiders would die in a short time. He simply put them into his large coat pocket.
Next, Toby fired more balls of silk, blocking the fire sprinkler vents on the ceiling with his silk.
Finally, he pulled out a Molotov cocktail with a specially made casing that could not be detected by security checks from his other pocket and pulled off the pin with one hand.

As the pull ring landed, Toby casually tossed the incendiary bomb into the spiderweb-covered incubation chamber.
Upon contact with the spider silk in the cultivation chamber, the incendiary bomb's blazing white flames instantly spread throughout the chamber, igniting countless super spiders on the silk.
Amidst the squeaking and screaming of these super spiders, Toby coldly walked out of the incubation room.
Osborn doesn't deserve these super spiders, and Toby shouldn't let anyone else have them!
Although the probability is very small, he doesn't want anyone other than himself to one day crack the Super Spider's genetic lock and gain Spider-Man's powers.
Therefore, it would be best if everything in this world, except for the super spider in his hand, disappeared!
The world needs Spider-Man, but it doesn't need that many Spider-Men...
After Toby stepped out of the Super Spider incubation chamber, the piercing fire alarms blared throughout the Osborne Building.
Because he blocked the water outlet of the cultivation chamber in advance, the fire inside could not be controlled. After burning all the super spiders to death, the fire was already showing signs of spreading outwards.
Toby didn't care at all. He simply strolled among the panicked crowd and quietly came up behind Peter, who was also evacuating from the building with the crowd. He took a super spider out of its cocoon and placed it in Peter's collar.
He then vanished without a sound, appearing beside Gwen, who was looking around in the crowd. He put his arm around her waist, shielding her in his embrace, and easily squeezed a path through the crowd using his size advantage.
Upon smelling the faint woody scent emanating from Toby, Gwen felt incredibly at ease, leaning against his broad chest as he led her out of the building.
It was truly remarkable how, because of the height difference between Gwen and Toby, after Toby put his arm around Gwen's waist, he simply lifted her legs off the ground with a gentle motion; she didn't even need to take a single step...
Once outside the Osborne Building, Gwen was slightly tipsy, like a kitten that had inhaled catnip, her face flushed and reluctant to leave Toby's arms.
However, Gwen soon discovered someone who was even more drunk than herself.
That was Peter.
Peter was crouching on the ground, clutching his head, with Dr. Connors looking anxious next to him.
Upon seeing this, Gwen's slightly tipsy mind immediately cleared, and she pulled Toby along, quickly heading towards Peter's direction.
"Oh my god, teacher, what's wrong with Peter?" Gwen asked Dr. Connors anxiously, looking at Peter's flushed face.
At this moment, Dr. Connors was also filled with anxiety and bewilderment:
"I don't know either. Peter and I had just started experimenting with the new algorithm when the emergency evacuation alarm went off in the building. Peter and I quickly evacuated with everyone else."
"But Peter suddenly shouted during the evacuation, and shortly after, he became unwell, saying he felt dizzy. I was just about to call an ambulance."
Upon hearing this, Toby stopped Dr. Connors from calling for an ambulance, lifted Peter up with one hand, and shook his head, saying:
"It's too chaotic here, and the emergency personnel might not be able to arrive in time. I drove here, and I'm taking Peter to the hospital now, so don't worry."
Seeing the composed Toby, Dr. Connors and Gwen both breathed a sigh of relief and indicated that they understood.
Because Toby's Audi R8 is a two-seater, Dr. Connors and Gwen couldn't accompany him. They could only tell Toby to let them know when Peter was alright.
After Toby readily agreed, he helped the half-dazed Peter into his R8 parked on the side of the road.
However, after starting the car and leaving, he did not take Peter to the hospital as he had told the two men, but instead drove home.
Because Toby knew perfectly well that Peter wasn't actually sick...
Rather, it's the body's genes that are being recombined, which is not a problem that ordinary doctors can solve.
And even if it could be solved, Peter wouldn't need it.
This is a gift from heaven, not a disaster!
After Toby brought Peter, who had fallen into a deep sleep, home, he did not find Ben and May there.
It's the weekend, and the two of them are taking a break.
The reason he wasn't there was probably because his dad had taken his mom for a drive in his new car.
He might not even come back tonight.
And it's better that he doesn't come back, so he won't find another excuse to tell them about Peter's situation.
After putting Peter back in his room and covering him with a blanket, Toby left him alone.
Now he just needs to wait for Peter to complete his transformation on his own.
As for the rest, he would explain it to Peter slowly tomorrow.
As Toby had predicted, Ben and Mrs. May did not plan to go home today. They simply called Toby and told him and Peter to take care of their own dinner, as they had other business to attend to and would return home the next morning.
Toby just hopes that his elderly parents won't have another son...
However, in reality, his parents in this universe, Ben and May, are not as old as the first and second generations in the movie; they are more like the third generation of Aunt May.
In her fifties, she may not be young, but she's certainly not old either.
Moreover, because Toby has been buying supplements for the family for the past two years, the elderly couple looks no different from middle-aged people in their forties.
Yes, it means the elderly couple definitely have the potential to experience a second spring in their lives...
After placing the remaining super spiders in the eco-box he had prepared in his underground private gym, Toby prepared a nutritious and delicious dinner for himself, freeing his taste buds from the torment of plums all night.
