Toby wasn't some high-and-mighty person; as long as Kingpin dared to give, he dared to take.
Money, goods—he took them.
Women—he played with them too.
However, the women Kingpin gave him were mostly one-offs; once he was done, he'd send them packing.
You can play around with women given by someone like Kingpin, but you can't take them seriously; otherwise, they might just be a venomous snake he planted by your side.
As a spider, Toby didn't like having a venomous snake around him all the time—whereas for Gwen, whom he knew inside and out, Toby didn't mind a long-term development.
After all, the Gwen of this Universe was indeed very beautiful and fit his aesthetic perfectly, as flawless as a comic book character come to life.
One could even say that all the characters in this Universe, including Peter, Ben, and Mei, as well as Kingpin, looked closer to their comic book images.
After playing games with Peter for a while longer, Toby went back to his room to rest.
Although his physique now far exceeded that of an ordinary person, Toby still maintained the habit of sleeping early and waking early unless he was on a mission.
The Spider-Man physique gave him the capital to rise in the Marvel Universe, so without a system, he had to take even better care of his body.
The next day.
While Peter was still snoring away because it was a day off, Toby had already finished lifting weights in his specially excavated underground gym and had run several laps around the neighborhood for his morning jog.
Upon completing the final lap of his daily morning run and preparing to head home, Toby noticed a gaze from next door fixed on him.
Toby looked toward the source of the feeling and saw a girl with fiery red hair in the neighboring yard watching him.
Seeing Toby look over, the red-haired girl walked over gracefully and extended her hand to him:
"Hello, you must be the cousin Peter mentioned, the son of Mr. Ben Parker and Mrs. Mei Parker—Toby Parker, right?"
Sizing up this Mary Jane, who was at least an 8 in looks and seemed to have a very sunny personality.
Toby reached out and lightly shook her fingertips, smiling:
"Yes, hello, I'm Toby Parker. I've also heard Peter mention you—the fairy neighbor with the beautiful red hair."
No one dislikes hearing nice things, especially when they come from a handsome guy.
Therefore, Mary Jane's first impression of Toby was undoubtedly very good.
After a brief introduction, the two chatted for a few moments.
During the conversation, Toby also discovered that the Mary Jane of this World didn't seem as annoying as in most movies and animations; instead, she had a very cheerful personality and spoke with poise and elegance.
It seemed his stereotypes of Marvel characters were still a bit heavy.
After Toby's initial impression of Mary Jane improved, the sound of Mary Jane's parents calling her home for breakfast ended their brief conversation.
Watching Mary Jane enter the house and the loving scene with her parents, Toby nodded understandingly.
It seemed that not only Mary Jane herself, but even Mary Jane's family in this Universe wasn't so oppressive.
Her father didn't drink or commit domestic violence, and her mother hadn't passed away in sorrow.
She was in a happy family.
This might be the reason why the Mary Jane in this Universe had a completely different personality from the unlikable, gloomy, and gold-digging character in the movies.
Then Toby could rest easy; he wouldn't have to worry about his poor, silly cousin being cheated on in the future.
Returning home and taking a shower, a refreshed Toby walked out to see that Mei had just finished making breakfast and set it on the table.
And his lazy cousin, with a head of messy hair like a bird's nest, was being pushed downstairs by Ben to eat breakfast with a face full of reluctance.
Toby sat in his spot, biting into the sandwich in his hand—which actually didn't taste very good—but he smiled happily.
Having been an orphan abandoned in an orphanage since birth in his previous life, this rare familial affection was undoubtedly precious to him—in such a warm atmosphere, the unpalatable food Mei made seemed to become delicious.
Of course, this deliciousness was only for Toby.
As Peter and Ben bit into the sandwiches on their plates, their expressions were so distorted they looked as if they were chewing on shoehorns, making it hard to swallow.
This prompted Mei to lecture the uncle and nephew duo again, while also praising her son for being sensible and not a picky eater.
This made the faces of the uncle and nephew, who already found the food hard to swallow, instantly turn as bitter as bitter gourds.
Not until the doorbell rang did Ben and Peter feel an immediate sense of relief, rushing to open the door with impatience.
Upon opening the door, the two saw a'shining little Sun' standing at the doorway.
With brilliant blonde hair, an equally brilliant smile, and a slender figure, it was Gwen herself: "Hi, Uncle Ben, Peter!"
Gwen's appearance was like a brilliant Angel, saving the uncle and nephew duo.
The two quickly invited Gwen into the house.
After entering, Gwen walked into the dining room with practiced ease and waved to the two at the table: "Hi, Aunt Mei, you look younger again!"
Mei stood up and gave Gwen a hug, her face full of a joyful smile:
"Oh, Gwen, your mouth is still so sweet. But you look like you've lost weight again. We're just having breakfast, come sit down and have some."
As she spoke, Mei naturally pressed Gwen into the seat next to Toby and heartlessly took away the plate that originally belonged to Peter, bringing a new breakfast for Gwen.
It wasn't that Mei knew Gwen was coming and had made an extra portion.
It was just that Toby's physique required so much food that a single portion wasn't enough to fill him, so Mei usually prepared two or three portions for Toby.
Now that Gwen was here, she could just share some with Gwen; she was sure her son wouldn't mind.
After all, her son was already three hundred pounds, while it was hard to say if Gwen even weighed a hundred.
So for the sake of their future sexual happiness, her son should lose some weight—wait, her son didn't seem to have any fat, he was all muscle—anyway, at least Gwen needed to gain some weight, or Mei was afraid her son might crush the poor girl to death—Gwen and Toby had no idea about the dirty thoughts in Mei's mind right now.
Gwen even showed Mei her firm but not very prominent biceps, saying she only looked thin because she had been exercising lately, trying to catch up to Toby in terms of physique!
Hearing this made Mei even more delighted.
Look at how sensible she is; in order to be worthy of her son in all aspects, not only does she study hard, constantly competing with her nephew for the top two spots in the grade, but she also refuses to back down in terms of physique.
It seemed she couldn't let Peter continue to be lazy; she should have him exercise with Toby regularly. Even if he didn't bulk up like Toby, he should at least get out of the skinny dog category!
And her husband Ben too; that big belly was almost larger than when she was pregnant with Toby. He should also lose some weight with Peter by following Toby!
At this moment, the uncle and nephew duo, who had already taken advantage of opening the door for Gwen to sneak off to eat KFC, had no idea that Mei had already arranged a hellish training plan for them to follow Toby—
