Chapter 52 - Chapter 50

And to prevent Norman from surviving after losing his head due to mutation.

Lock then went up and kicked Norman in the left and right chests, respectively.

Two legs for the torso, one leg for the head; even a god would shake his head.

It's a pity that Norman Osborn in this universe died before he could become the complete Green Goblin.

Now that all the people have been killed, arson is inevitable.

After all, murder and arson are committed together.

When he was cleaning up the security team at Osborne Estate, he happened to find the place where the security team stored weapons.

Weapons are fire to; they're all pretty much the same.

Therefore, after throwing all the innocent servants who had been knocked unconscious out of the manor, Lock began installing C4 throughout the manor.

Finally, after placing the mutated Norman's body among the security team's corpses, he swung away from the manor on a spider web and detonated the C4 in the manor.

In the firelight, Lock swung away gracefully on his spiderweb.

As for what happens next, Lock doesn't need to worry about it.

Aside from Peter and Gwen, probably no one else knows that he was behind this.

After all, he had the manor's structure and defense map, so he avoided surveillance all the way and knocked out the servants by sneaking up from behind.

He even blew up the manor's surveillance room, so it was practically foolproof.

Even if the police investigate, they will at most find Norman's mutated corpse, the bodies of the security team, and the Osborne Estate, which was bombed into ruins.

In the end, those useless American police officers will probably classify this incident as a case of a mutated Norman killing each other and dying together, thus closing the case.

Meanwhile, the Osborn executives, who had long hoped for Norman's death, would further fuel the flames, making it seem like Norman was to blame even if the incident wasn't.

After all, this would give the board of directors a better reason to kick the Osborne family out of the Osborne Corporation.

It's a long-standing tradition in American companies to have the board of directors oust the chairman.

Tony Stark of Stark Industries and Harry Osborn of Osborn Corporation both experienced similar messy situations.

Therefore, for all these reasons, Lock was not worried at all that anyone would suspect him.

However, after finishing, Lock didn't go straight home or back to the hotel to find the sleeping Gwen. Instead, he went to Kingpin's Fisk Tower.

This time, Lock didn't take the elevator; instead, he climbed through the window to Kingpin's office on the top floor.

After he knocked on the window a few times through the glass, Kingpin came over from his office and opened the window for him.

When Lock came in, Kingpin asked with a smile, "Spider, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Lock looked Kingpin up and down and frowned: "Where's your boss?"

Kingpin was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged in relief:

"Just as the boss said, this couldn't be hidden from you at all. May I ask how you found out that I wasn't the boss?"

Lock pointed dismissively at his face: "First of all, King never calls me Spider."

"Secondly, you're too fat. Kingpin is over 90% muscle, including his face, while your face is just damn fat!"

"So tell me, where's your boss?"

"I see. Well, I can't help it then. After all, I don't have the boss's talent for training..." Kingpin's double sighed, bowed respectfully to Lock , and explained:

"As for the boss, a troublesome gang has recently arrived in Hell's Kitchen. His men can't handle it, and you've been busy, so the boss personally led a team to deal with it..."

"A difficult gang that requires Kingpin to personally intervene?" Lock 's eyes narrowed, and he asked curiously, "What's the name of that gang?"

Kingpin's double did not attempt to hide anything and honestly replied:

"They call themselves the Hand, the superior organization of the Neon Gang. They came to Hell's Kitchen because of the Neon Gang's annihilation last time..."

Upon hearing this, Lock raised an eyebrow.

"The Hand? And it's about the destruction of the Japanese gang? So this is related to me too, tsk..."

He remembered that the last time he helped Kingpin wipe out the Neon Gang, the Neon Gang's leader, Zero-One Okamoto, had indeed said that he was a member of the Hand...

He didn't take it to heart at the time, since he only cared about getting paid to do things, and didn't care about the identity of the person being dealt with.

If you pay enough, even the president can do what you're told!

The Hand, while a powerful organization, isn't actually that strong.

But you wouldn't call him weak.

After all, the Hand's ninja assassin group is spread all over the world, and ninjas are a Japanese art that relies on underhanded tactics; getting entangled with them would be quite troublesome...

Seemingly sensing Lock 's concerns, Kingpin's stunt double quickly spoke up to explain:

"Mr. Venom Spider, please rest assured. The boss said that he entrusted you with this task. He will take care of the Hand matter and will absolutely not implicate you or your family in any way!"

Kingpin's double spoke these words with absolute sincerity.

What kind of person is Kingpin most afraid of Lock becoming?

Not a ruthless killer like the Spider...

Instead, it is a venomous spider with absolutely no worries!

A venomous spider that kills without blinking an eye, but at least you can use money to bewitch it...

But without any worries, without the venomous spider's 'affection,' the money might be of little use...

So if we're talking about who cared more about Ben and May than Lock and Peter, then it would be Kingpin.

Because he knew that as soon as Ben and May died, that ruthless, poisonous spider would immediately turn into a mad spider that bites anyone it sees!

Especially someone like Kingpin, who knew Lock 's true identity, after Ben and May's deaths, he was definitely Lock 's first suspect and the first to suffer the backlash!

So when Lock first met her, he was sitting confidently in her office, not even wearing a mask, showing no intention of hiding his identity from her.

Kingpin knew that Lock 's parents were not only his own parents, but also his second parents!

Lock is a double-edged sword that must be handled with caution!

That's why he told his stand-in that if Lock came, he should tell him not to worry about the Hand.

However, Lock Ben wasn't too worried. He heard that Kingpin wanted to handle it himself, so he stopped paying attention.

He didn't come here for Kingpin's mess; he had something important to do.

"Could I borrow your boss's computer?"

Lock wasn't asking a question; he was simply informing the other party.

He didn't care whether Kingpin's double agreed or not, and sat down in Kingpin's chair and turned on Kingpin's computer.

And they skillfully entered the password and logged into the computer desktop.

This completely baffled Kingpin's double, considering that even he, as Kingpin's double, didn't know Kingpin's computer password!

Because this computer is associated with far too many of Kingpin Group's shady dealings!

This made Kingpin's double extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to directly stop Lock .

Therefore, he could only walk to a corner, take out his phone, and secretly dial Zhenjin's number.

However, after Kingpin learned of this, he simply told his stand-in to pour tea for Lock so that Lock wouldn't get thirsty while playing on the computer.
