Hearing this, Peter strode up to Harry, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him off the ground. The bloodshot color in his eyes faded slightly, but he still questioned him harshly:
"Then give them back to me! Tell me where they are!"
"Huh?" Harry was completely bewildered. He had just said that casually; how could he possibly know where Peter's Uncle Ben and Aunt May had gone!
There was no one at the parker family home when he arrived!
Seeing that Harry couldn't answer, Peter was certain the other was lying to him. Uncle Ben and Aunt May must have been killed. Thus, he raised his fist, intending to crush Harry's head to avenge Uncle Ben and Aunt May!
Harry saw Peter's fist enlarging before his eyes. It was too late to speak and reveal his identity now, so he could only shout desperately in his mind, "What the f...! Venom, remove the suit, fast!"
Venom reacted quickly, immediately retracting the Symbiote suit from the surface of Harry's body, revealing Harry's handso... swollen face.
But Peter, intent on a killing blow, hadn't considered stopping. Therefore, even though he saw Harry's face, it was too late to pull back.
Moreover, Peter and Harry hadn't seen each other in eight years. Although Peter felt the person looked familiar, he didn't recognize him as his childhood friend for a moment!
But in the end, Peter's fist stopped less than a millimeter away from the tip of Harry's nose.
Harry could feel the tip of his nose stinging from the wind generated by Peter's punch!
Peter's fist stopping wasn't because he finally recognized Harry and held back his strength.
It was because Peter and Harry's common 'Big Daddy' had arrived.
Ryan's large hand gripped Peter's arm, steadily stopping Peter's enraged punch in mid-air.
Ryan held Peter's hand with one hand and grabbed Harry's shoulder with the other. With a lift of his hands, he hoisted the two, who were a head shorter than him, off the ground. He held them to his left and right, using his body to separate them.
"Have you two had enough?"
Seeing Ryan appear, the bloodshot color in Peter's eyes finally dissipated completely, and his mind calmed down.
Harry also breathed a long sigh of relief, finally feeling a sense of security again. However, he kept his head down, not daring to look at Ryan at all, like a child who had done something wrong.
After all, he had just lied to Peter, saying he had eaten Ryan's parents...
Thinking about it now, those words not only enraged Peter but also offended his newly acknowledged big brother...
Meanwhile, seeing Ryan's calm appearance, Peter knew that Ben and May must be fine; otherwise, his cousin would have already torn all of New York apart!
So, Peter looked over at the other side where Harry, with his head down, spat out two teeth that had just been knocked loose by his punch. He felt the person looked more and more familiar, gradually overlapping with a figure from his childhood memories.
"You are... Harry?"
Under Peter's suspicious gaze, Harry lifted his head and grinned, revealing his gap-toothed smile, and waved at Peter: "Hehe, hello there, Peter..."
Seeing that both had calmed down—mainly that Peter had calmed down—Ryan released them, allowing them to return to the ground.
Seeing that it really was Harry, Peter couldn't help but rush over and hug him with a mix of surprise, joy, and anger: "You bastard, why would you make a joke like that? I almost killed you just now!"
Harry patted the lingeringly fearful Peter on the back and chuckled foolishly: "You can't entirely blame me for this. Big brother said you like to hold back when you hit people, so he told me to give you a surprise so you'd go all out in a match against me."
Hearing this, Peter pulled away and sized Harry up, asking in confusion: "A match? Why would we have a match? By the way, what were you wearing just now? Why did it feel so wrong to me, so evil!"
Before Harry could answer, Venom's head suddenly popped out from Harry's shoulder: "You're the one who's wrong! You're the one who's evil! Your whole family is evil!"
"Also, I'm not a 'thing', this great one is Venom!!"
Peter was startled by the suddenly emerging Venom and instinctively leaped away, crouching on the ceiling like a spider!
"Holy shit! Harry, why do you have such a huge parasite on you?"
Venom:???
"Motherfucker! You actually called me a parasite! Harry, don't you dare stop me, I'm going to bite off that Pajama Boy's head!!"
"Forget it, forget it! Peter didn't do it on purpose, forget it, Brother Venom..." Facing the snarling Venom, Harry could only tightly hug Venom's neck to prevent it from actually extending its neck to take a bite out of Peter!
If it really bit Peter, he'd have to take Peter to get a rabies vaccine!
But with Harry's small arms and legs, how could he hold Venom back? He was dragged along by Venom's large head, while Peter continuously dodged the bloody, gaping maw Venom aimed at him from the ceiling!
"Sigh..."
Watching this hellish scene that looked like naughty kids playing in a kindergarten, Ryan at this moment looked very much like a helpless and powerless kindergarten teacher...
Oh, wait, he was only helpless, but he had plenty of power!
So... Slap! ————
Ryan delivered a massive slap, directly sending Venom's large black head flying off Harry, with teeth scattering all over the floor!
Harry, with Venom separated from him, felt an instant wave of weakness. Ignoring everything else, he hurriedly chased after the flying Venom, picked it up from the ground, brushed off the dust, and stuffed it back into his body.
Only after Venom merged back into his body did Harry sit on the ground and let out a comfortable sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Peter on the ceiling frowned and dropped down next to Ryan, whispering:
"Ryan, what's going on with Harry? Why did you 'deworm' him, only for him to pick the parasite back up and stuff it into his body?"
Ryan glanced at Peter, thinking to himself that if the Symbiote were attached to Peter, he wouldn't be willing to give it up either once he experienced the power it brought.
But Ryan certainly wouldn't say that. Instead, he said calmly:
"Harry has a genetic disease inherited from the Osborn family. The Symbiote helps him suppress this disease, but the Symbiote must stay inside his body. Once the Symbiote leaves, Harry will experience the pain of being riddled with disease again."
The Symbiote's healing ability is not without limits. For something like physical injury, the Symbiote can completely repair it for you with one possession.
But when it involves genetic damage or terminal illnesses like cancer cells, the Symbiote cannot completely cure you.
While it is parasitic in your body, you can return to being a normal person, even possessing power beyond that of a normal person.
But once it leaves, your terminal illness will return, and it may even become more severe than before...
This is something Ryan didn't tell Peter, nor did he tell Harry; they didn't need to know. Because as long as they always listen to him, such a thing will never happen...
