94 Chapter 94: Oh No, Peter Knows Everything

Gwen had already guessed what he was up to.

This jerk planned to reveal her identity to his closest people and drag them into it.

Whether he intended to call his father or tell Peter, she absolutely couldn't let him succeed.

Gwen was planning to stop him, but the Green Goblin's actions were faster.

Operating the aircraft, the Green Goblin sneered and evaded Gwen's attacks with ease.

"The first one you dragged into this cycle, Gwen, is Peter Parker!"

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The moment the Green Goblin dialed out, the scene was filled with the sound of vibrating phones.

The entire atmosphere fell silent.

The Green Goblin's laughter abruptly stopped.

He looked in shock at the Spider-Man next to him.

The vibrating sound was coming from him.

In disbelief, he hung up the call, and the vibrating sound from Peter's phone stopped immediately.

He was Peter Parker!

The Green Goblin's mind was in turmoil.

No!

It wasn't surprising at all; he should have realized it long ago.

From the first time they met at the mansion, he sensed something unusual about him.

Whether it was the Green Goblin incident or the Natural History Museum incident, Parker was the center of attention.

Moreover, he had suspected him before.

Compared to the Green Goblin's shock, Gwen was on the verge of blurting out a curse word: "Holy crap."

She still couldn't believe that Peter was Spider-Man.

How could this be?!

Although Peter had changed a lot recently, how could she not know that her closest person was Spider-Man?

The hero she admired, the one she pursued, was Peter Parker?!

The feeling of absurdity and incredibility surged in her heart.

She stared at Peter with wide eyes, seeking answers from him.

As both of them stared at Peter, the mask on his face slowly faded away, revealing the familiar face to both of them.

Light brown eyes and features that seemed reluctant to smile.

Indeed, it was him!

Peter had never intended to hide his identity from Gwen.

He had just been considering how to tell her.

Now that the Green Goblin had voluntarily revealed it, he had no need to conceal it anymore.

"Gwen."

Gwen stared at Peter's face, feeling dazed.

Previously, in the classroom, when she hoped Peter would say something cruel to her, he said he was Spider-Man.

At that time, she thought Peter was joking.

Now it seemed, it was indeed a bit cruel.

"Peter, why you?!"

Gwen asked in an incredulous tone.

Then she muttered to herself, "No, you should have known I'm Spider-Woman, right?"

Peter nodded, "Yes, I've known for a while, Gwen."

Gwen's tone suddenly became excited, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You know how dangerous this is?"

Although the moment felt strange, it was mostly unjustified grievances.

She had been kept in the dark all along.

No, compared to all this, what worried her more was what the "Goblin" said.

She didn't want to drag people around her into this cycle.

If being a superhero meant getting hurt, she could handle it.

But she didn't want her loved ones to get hurt because of it.

As for whether Peter protected her or she protected Peter, Gwen had forgotten in her excitement.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I know it's difficult, but you could have sent an email or hinted at me. If I had even a ten percent chance of guessing you were Spider-Man, you could have hinted at me sixty-seven percent or higher."

Gwen felt that the incident with the "Spider-Monster Frank" had raised her suspicion of Peter, but it only increased her suspicion from zero to ten percent.

Did she seem like such a fool in Peter's eyes?

He had known she was Spider-Woman for a long time, while she had never realized Peter's identity.

"Gwen, calm down."

"I'm perfectly calm!"

Gwen spoke somewhat incoherently, "Do you know how I feel right now? Do you remember the last time I saw the painting at Matt's, where a demon with a trident sat on a fiery throne? Now I feel like that demon is laughing at me, and his crimson eyes are full of my secrets."

She then looked at the speechless Green Goblin beside her, "Sorry, I didn't mean you."

Then she remembered something, "Oh, and the Black Cat kissed you, great, now I feel even worse."

Peter looked at Gwen, who was getting increasingly agitated.

He understood Gwen's feelings very well.

"Gwen, I've hinted at you, and besides, you didn't tell me you were Spider-Woman."

Peter said calmly.

"That's because..."

Gwen was about to explain but quickly lowered her head in frustration.

"Well, I have no right to blame you, Peter. I'm a liar too."

Peter sighed and said to Gwen, "I am who I am, Gwen, wearing a mask doesn't change that."

"I understand. I'm just afraid."

Gwen wanted to explain her fear to Peter.

She had always feared her identity would hurt the people she loved.

So she kept it hidden.

Hence, when she saw Peter was just like her a moment ago, she was so excited and angry.

It was like when a father, who was a policeman, saw his daughter following his teachings and protecting the citizens against all odds, instead of being pleased, he was angry.

The father didn't want his daughter to be surrounded by danger, just as she didn't want Peter to be troubled like her.

Gwen suddenly understood her father a little bit.

By now, she had completely calmed down, feeling that her previous words were too heavy.

After all, Peter didn't do it intentionally, and she had also hidden her identity from him.

Taking a deep breath, she said to Peter, "Sorry, I was just scared, Peter. I'm afraid that power will also corrupt us."

She lifted her head and suddenly realized the Green Goblin was gone from where he stood.

"Wait, where did the green goblin go?"

Gwen pointed in the direction where the Green Goblin had been standing.

"He probably didn't want to watch our performance and ran away."

Peter looked in the direction the Green Goblin had fled, saying slowly.

Upon hearing that the other had escaped, Gwen immediately became anxious and jumped to Peter's side.

She wouldn't let him get away with committing such serious crimes.

"Don't worry, he won't get away."

Peter's face slowly covered with the mask again, and a glimmer of light flashed in his white eyelids.

"I know his identity."

Curious, Gwen asked, "Who is he?"

"Norman Osborn."

Hearing this name, Gwen was stunned again.
