Awkward Situation
Christopher awkwardly waved and greeted,
"Hi there!"
"Oh, uh, hi," Spider-Man quickly moved to shield his girlfriend.
Without much ado, Christopher disregarded the formalities, opening the window and sliding inside. "Peter, it's me, Christopher," he announced.
"Why are you here so late?" Spider-Man's voice carried a hint of suspicion. Was Christopher having an affair with Mary?
"Peter, it's not what you think. I'm not here for your girlfriend. I'm here for you," Christopher clarified, sensing Peter's unease.
Relieved, Peter questioned, "What do you need from me then?"
"I saved you both, and I think it's only fair you repay the favor," Christopher proposed.
"Tell me how," Peter replied eagerly.
"I have a unique ability. I can extract genetic material, but only if the person consents. And don't worry, it won't harm you," Christopher explained.
"Why do you need my genes?" Peter asked warily, reluctant to share his powers.
"I need to become stronger, that's all," Christopher stated plainly.
Before Peter could respond, Mary interjected, urging him to comply. "Peter, let him do it! He saved us today. Without him, you might not even be here. He's our hero, and we owe him."
Christopher silently commended Mary's wisdom, grateful for her support.
After Mary's persuasion, Peter reluctantly agreed, conceding, "Fine, I'll let you extract the genes."
A smile of satisfaction spread across Christopher's face as he approached Peter's bedside, extending his hand. "Just hold onto my hand. Remember, it has to be willingly given," he reminded.
"Okay," Peter replied, feeling resigned.
As they were about to proceed, the door burst open.
"Mary, what's going on?" Mary's parents barged into the room, interrupting the tense moment.
They were dumbfounded to find Peter in their daughter's room with a stranger, one on the bed, and the other standing beside it, while their daughter in between, wearing an unusual expression.
"Oh, my goodness," Mary's mother gasped, covering her mouth. She hadn't anticipated her daughter's boldness, and the presence of two men added a surprising twist to the situation.
"Mary, how could you do such a thing! You're already engaged," Phillip scolded angrily. His frustration heightened, not just because his daughter was involved with someone, but the loud commotion made it all the more outrageous.
Mary looked genuinely puzzled.
Spider-Man, embarrassed, quickly withdrew his hand, stepped off the bed, and addressed Mary's parents, "Hi."
"Hmph, I warned you before, and you still came for Mary." Phillip angrily retorted.
"I—" Spider-Man hesitated, unsure of how to explain himself.
Christopher, however, approached Mary's parents confidently. He greeted them politely, "Hello there. My name is Christopher. I didn't go through the front door when I first arrived, and I sincerely apologize."
"Do you have a job?" Phillip inquired with a stern expression. He was a bit of a snob, favoring those with wealth, especially since he had engaged his daughter to a rich suitor.
Christopher thought for a moment and replied, "I can be described as a scientist, or you could say I'm someone who pursues power."
Phillip ignored Christopher's response and bluntly asked, "Are you rich?"
"Uh," Christopher hesitated briefly, then smiled, "Yes! Not only do I have money, but I also own a private island."
Phillip's demeanor changed; he displayed a warm smile and enthusiastically shook Christopher's hand, saying, "Christopher, only you can save me. My company is on the verge of bankruptcy due to a lack of capital turnover. You must help me."
"What the hell," Christopher cursed mentally. But on the surface he wore a warm smile and explained.
"No problem, uncle. How much do you need?" Christopher proudly offered. Thanks to Optimus's assistance in the stock market, he had become a global wealthy individual, not surpassing Iron Man Tony but still among the world's elite.
"One million dollars will suffice," Phillip said happily.
"I'll give you 100 million dollars and hope you can expand and strengthen the company," Christopher declared proudly. Since acquiring Optimus Prime, money had become mere digital data to him. In the Marvel world, he hadn't handled physical cash; all transactions were conducted online.
Phillip's hands trembled with surprise. Christopher's generosity was beyond his expectations.
Mary's mother stood nearby, her hand clasped over her mouth in shock, her eyes alight with a newfound regard for Christopher, akin to a mother-in-law sizing up her prospective son-in-law.
Without hesitation, Christopher swiftly contacted Optimus, issuing a directive. "Transfer 100 million US dollars to Mr.Phillip Watson's bank account," he instructed urgently.
"It's done, my liege," Optimus Prime's voice responded through Christopher's watch.
"Wow, now that's cutting-edge technology," exclaimed Phillip in awe, his astonishment evident. Such advanced gadgets were typically the domain of the affluent or exclusive.
As the transfer was confirmed, Optimus Prime's voice rang out. "Liege, the transfer has been completed."
Immediately, a notification chimed on Phillip's phone, signaling the arrival of the staggering sum.
Ding—
Phillip hands trembled as he retrieved his phone and opened the message.
****
[Bank of America]
Your account ending in 2**7 has completed a transfer of USD 100,000,000 at 22:16, with a new balance of 100,009,156.
****
A sharp intake of breath escaped Philip as he beheld the unprecedented wealth now at his disposal.
"Has the money arrived, dear?" Mary's mother inquired anxiously.
With a joyous nod, Phillip confirmed, "Yes, it's here—100 million US dollars."
"Fantastic! This will save our company," Mary's mother exclaimed with relief.
Meanwhile, Mary observed Christopher's interaction with her parents with a mixture of confusion and bemusement. She couldn't help but feel sidelined alongside her boyfriend.
Then, to everyone's surprise, Phillip seized Christopher's hand once more, exclaiming jubilantly, "I accept you as my son-in-law!"
"I, too, accept you as my son-in-law," Mary's mother chimed in enthusiastically.
"Wait what," Christopher was taken aback, bewildered by the unexpected declaration.
"Really.." Mary echoed, equally puzzled.
"You must be fucking kidding me" Spider-Man cursed in his mind.
"Actually, Mr. Phillip, you've got it all wrong. I'm the one who's dating Mary," Spider-Man interjected, his frustration seeping into his tone.
