771: Chapter 771 Revealing Everything

"Me too!" Gwen said to Clarissa. "I don't need to wait until after the party; I agree to join right now! It's just... I'm just an ordinary person. I don't know how I can contribute, and I don't know what I can do..."

Compared to Lorna's superpowers and Tony's wealth and intellect, Gwen didn't know what she could bring to the table; she felt inferior to everyone!

As for her scientific research skills... in front of Tony, Gwen felt no different from a complete novice.

Was she supposed to contribute to the organization by acting as Tony's assistant?

Even Tony had to work for the organization!

"Alright, plans can't keep up with changes. Since things have come to this... let's just lay our cards on the table!" Clarissa said, shaking her head helplessly. Things had unexpectedly developed to this point.

"Peter! You first," Clarissa said to Peter.

"Uh..." Peter suddenly became a bit nervous.

"Hmm? Peter?" Everyone's eyes turned toward Peter, while Gwen looked at him with suspicion. "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Uh... I actually am, but Gwen, please don't be angry when I tell you!" Peter felt incredibly tense right now.

"It's not about our relationship, is it?" Gwen narrowed her eyes, a hint of murderous intent seemingly leaking out.

"Definitely not!" Peter said immediately, standing at attention.

"Then that's fine~ Go ahead." Gwen finally relaxed. As long as it wasn't a romantic secret, she was just curious. She was with Peter almost every day—going to school together, doing experiments together, and even eating at Peter's house from time to time.

What else could Peter possibly be hiding from her?

Under Gwen's death stare, Peter felt his very liver trembling.

"That... well, I... I am Spider-Man!" Peter said to Gwen, throwing caution to the wind! It was do or die!

Since they would be in the same organization from now on, what needed to be exposed had to be exposed.

Besides, even if he didn't join Clarissa's organization, Peter didn't think he could hide it forever if he intended to marry Gwen.

He couldn't keep hiding it in the future, especially once they lived together...

Peter couldn't have predicted that, under normal circumstances, Gwen would have died by his hands. (I don't understand, clearly... whatever, I can only attribute it to the curse of the Spider Totem.)

"What?" Gwen froze for a moment, looking at Peter. "What did you just say?"

"I am Spider-Man!" Peter told Gwen.

"Holy~! You're Spider-Man?" Gwen's eyes widened as she stared at Peter. That "vigilante" Spider-Man, who made her father exhausted, kept him busy outside all day, and often made him lose his temper at home, was actually Peter!

Her wonderful boyfriend was Spider-Man!

The one "fighting" her father—Peter's future father-in-law—was Peter!

"Oh my God!" Gwen didn't know what to say. The sudden news had shocked her. "I never would have imagined this! You hid it so well! We've been together so long, and you..."

Tony looked at Peter curiously from the side. "Hey! You're actually Spider-Man? Cool! I've heard of you! I thought you were just some frail scholar, I didn't expect you to be a superhero!"

Tony didn't care about the drama; hearing that Peter was also a superhero made him happy. "Hey! Tell you what, I'm thinking of making one too. What do you think if I call myself Iron Man?"

"Uh, I think it's pretty good," Peter nodded perfunctorily at Tony, then looked at Gwen, feeling a bit lost. "Listen, I didn't mean to keep it from you... it's just that this kind of thing..."

Gwen sighed and shook her head slightly. "I'm not blaming you. It's just that I'm worried about my father's side..."

If Peter were just as he appeared on the surface, even if her father didn't like him much, he would at most give him a cold shoulder but wouldn't excessively stop them.

But! If Peter was Spider-Man, that was a huge problem!

"Actually, that's not really a problem," Clarissa said with a smile from the side, continuing as everyone looked over. "Gwen, your father loves you very much."

"I know, but..." Gwen nodded at Clarissa's words, but her face remained troubled. This wasn't about whether he loved her; it had everything to do with Peter being Spider-Man!

"That's enough. Don't forget, you're also about to join the organization. You'll contribute and exchange for a Protective Ring. Besides, these are 'dangerous' jobs involving many people with superpowers. With Peter by your side, at least you can look out for each other."

"Your father will understand. Although it will be hard for him to accept at first, once he sees his daughter has superpowers and is working in an organization, no matter how much he dislikes Peter, the two of you grew up together after all. He's watched Peter grow up."

"He knows Peter's background, and Peter is strong and treats you well. He'll definitely look out for you when you're out on missions."

"Your father will eventually compromise. Even though he's the New York Police Commissioner, he's still just a Mortal... He holds a high position but is powerless, which must be painful for him."

"But well, the rest is up to the two of you."

Clarissa gave them a brief analysis. "To be honest, your father really is a good commissioner and a good cop. It's just a pity he was born in the wrong place. It's too hard for him here!"

"New York will only get more chaotic, and the dangers will only increase. To put it bluntly, it's almost certain he'll die at the hands of some criminal one day. Superpowers don't follow logic."

Hearing Clarissa's words, Gwen's heart tightened. She was right!

Look at Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the endless stream of criminals... she had even heard of the existence of Mutants.

The organization member next to her, her future partner Lorna, was a Mutant. That power... it could crush Tony in a second!

That level of power... that was a Mutant!

How could George, as an ordinary person, possibly cope with that!

"Clarissa... I want to start contributing to the organization as soon as possible!" Gwen couldn't wait. she felt an urgent need to earn contribution points as quickly as possible to get that Protective Ring for her father!

At the very least, it could save his life!

Especially since her father loved to lead from the front lines. It was respectable, but it was also truly dangerous!

"Don't rush; rushing won't help. We'll wait until tomorrow for everything. Today I have to handle some internal construction issues for the organization. Tomorrow I'll give you the organization's uniforms and provide you with a basic Cultivation Technique. I also need to guide you through the initiation."

"The internal organization shop and such will be rolled out gradually. Tony, regarding the base you provided, I'll perform underground modifications later. I have my own ways, so you don't need to find anyone for that."

"Fine!" Tony nodded. "I'll get the organization base ready today! It's right next to my house, so I guess I'll be working from home!"

Tony joked with a shrug and a smile.
