Bab 290: Chapter 289
"Peter Parker!"
The principal enthusiastically introduced, "This gentleman was a colleague of your father. Perhaps you two should have a chat."
Peter looked at Chen Ye in surprise.
"Sir, do you really know my father? You seem quite young... I don't mean to doubt you; it's just that you look only a few years older than me."
Peter was still very young and quite naive, not yet suspicious of Chen Ye.
"Yes, Peter, actually, I know Richard Parker from his files. But that doesn't mean I don't know about him."
Hearing this, Peter got a bit excited.
His father was very mysterious and few people knew about him.
The fact that this man could name his father directly suggested that he might indeed know him.
"Sir, could you tell me what kind of person my father was?"
Instead of answering, Chen Ye glanced at the principal.
"Principal, if you don't mind, I'd like to speak with Peter privately."
"Of course, no problem!"
The principal, not wanting to offend such a wealthy donor, quickly stood up and cheerfully said, "I'll leave the office to you two!"
Then, he left the office, closing the door behind him.
Once the principal left, Peter couldn't wait to ask, "Sir..."
"Peter, just call me Ronan."
"Mr. Ronan, I want to know about my father..."
Chen Ye shook his head. "I'm sorry, Peter, I can only tell you that your parents were intelligence agents. I can't say more; it would bring trouble to both of us."
The main reason was that there were several versions of Spider-Man's parents. Chen Ye wasn't sure which version existed in this world.
The more he said, the more mistakes he could make!
Peter looked visibly disappointed.
"Peter!" Chen Ye suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, the reason I came to find you today is to make you submit to me!"
"What?"
Peter looked confused. "Mr. Ronan, I don't understand what you mean!"
"It's simple!" Chen Ye smiled. "If you swear allegiance to me, you can avoid a lot of trouble."
Peter's expression immediately changed.
He might be a bit naive due to his age, but he wasn't stupid.
The man's demand was obviously strange.
"Who are you people?"
Peter's eyes showed a hint of caution as he said, "I'm just an ordinary student. I don't want to join any group, let alone swear allegiance to anyone!"
"An ordinary student? Peter Parker, ever since that spider bit you, you're no longer an ordinary student!"
Hearing this, Peter's face changed dramatically.
"Oh, damn! How do you know about that? No, no, no! I've never told anyone about this! Did I talk in my sleep? Mr. Ronan, why..."
Seeing Peter's tendency to ramble, Chen Ye quickly interrupted, "Shut up, Peter!"
Then, Chen Ye took the scepter from Quicksilver and walked toward Peter.
He planned to use force.
As Chen Ye approached with the scepter, Peter leapt back.
"Wait, what's that in your hand? Don't bring it near me!" Peter started babbling again. "Mr. Ronan, I don't know you, and I don't want to fight you..."
"Wanda!" Chen Ye called out.
The Scarlet Witch immediately used her chaos magic to hold Peter in place.
"Huh?"
Peter's eyes filled with terror. "Oh my god! What kind of magic is this? Why can't I move?"
"Master, his strength is immense; I can barely hold him!" Scarlet Witch's strained voice came from behind.
Chen Ye knew Peter was incredibly strong.
He was well aware of Spider-Man's capabilities, and Marvel had even released official data about his powers.
Strength was one of Spider-Man's most notable abilities.
At full potential, Spider-Man could lift weights up to several tons.
In the old Spider-Man movie, Peter Parker even stopped a speeding train.
This meant Peter's strength might be even greater than Chen Ye's current power level.
Of course!
The reason Scarlet Witch was struggling was also partly because she was relatively weak at the moment.
In *Avengers: Endgame*, she could even hold off the mighty Thanos!!
Chen Ye quickly moved closer to Peter with the scepter, ignoring Peter's constant chattering, and pressed the tip of the scepter to Peter's chest.
Immediately!
A faint blue glow emanated from the Mind Stone, penetrating Peter's chest.
The next moment.
Peter's gaze changed, becoming less clear.
"I am happy to serve you, Mr. Ronan!"
Peter completely gave up resisting and bowed his head to Chen Ye.
This was the power of the Mind Stone.
The user could turn others into their slaves.
"Peter, swear allegiance to me!" Chen Ye commanded.
The Mind Stone's influence could be undone.
Hawkeye had once been freed from it.
Scarlet Witch could also easily neutralize the power of the Mind Stone.
So, the system's pact was still more secure!
Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, Peter raised his hand without hesitation and swore:
"I, Peter Parker, hereby swear to serve Mr. Ronan Anderson from now on, never to betray him!"
As Peter finished his oath, Chen Ye received a system prompt:
"You have recruited another subordinate. Current mission progress: 3/10!"
Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction and told Scarlet Witch, "Wanda, release the scepter's control over him."
Upon hearing this, Scarlet Witch waved her hands, sending a red light into Peter's body.
Instantly, Peter's eyes regained their clarity.
"Oh! Master, that thing in your hand is amazing! I felt like my mind and body weren't my own, like someone else was living inside me. Master, you know, that was such a terrifying feeling. I never want to experience it again..."
Once freed from the Mind Stone's influence, Peter immediately resumed his chatter.
"Shut up, Peter!"
Chen Ye was losing his patience.
He almost wanted to use the Mind Stone to control Peter again.
"Wanda, Pietro, let's go!" Chen Ye ordered.
Peter quickly asked, "Master, what about me?"
"You stay in school. Don't come looking for me unless I call you!"
"Alright..."
...
After leaving the school, the sun had already set.
Chen Ye was planning to take Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver to find the next target when Quicksilver suddenly reported, "Master, Hydra just sent me a message, asking Wanda and me to rendezvous."
"Oh?" Chen Ye asked curiously, "Where's the rendezvous point?"
"The church in Sokovia!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ye's eyes flashed with cold intent.
He remembered the storyline and knew that it wasn't really Hydra summoning Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch!
