Noticing the sleazy and arrogant posture Electro displayed while speaking,
William Baker's face was filled with disgust.
He could clearly feel that he and the other man were not the same kind of people.
He was here because he had no choice, while this guy was pure evil born to satisfy selfish desires.
"Get lost!" Sandman tried to drive the other away in a low voice. "Don't bother me."
Seeing that Sandman actually dared to refuse him, Max's expression couldn't help but twist. The electric arcs around his body crackled loudly due to his agitation:
"Idiot, you think you have a choice? The trailer home six hundred meters to the left of the west gate of Island Park..."
Boom!
Before he could finish, a giant fist covered in sand smashed toward him.
Unfortunately, in his fully charged state, Electro's speed was extremely fast, and he easily dodged the fist.
"If you dare touch them, I'll take your life!" Sandman roared frantically.
"You think you're worthy? You can't even keep up with Ghost-Spider. What can you do to me?" Electro's face was full of sarcasm:
"Idiot, you have no choice. If you don't help, I'll kill your daughter tonight."
William stared at Electro with bloodshot eyes. If he could, he truly wanted to tear the guy in front of him limb from limb.
But logic told him that the other was telling the truth; he really couldn't catch him.
So, facing the threat, he seemed to have no choice but to compromise.
Thinking of his daughter lying in the hospital bed, Sandman's fists clenched and loosened repeatedly. Finally, he could only squeeze out a few words through his teeth:
"Fine, I promise you."
Seeing an existence as powerful as Sandman forced to agree to his demands, Electro couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
In his mind, he was already fantasizing about the wonderful sight of that being who swung on webs and scaled walls among the skyscrapers becoming his personal collection... With the two major villains joining forces, a massive net targeting Ghost-Spider silently unfurled across New York City.
"Requesting backup at Seventh Avenue, repeat, requesting backup at Seventh Avenue!"
"It's Sandman! That freak has appeared again! He's bigger than ever. Damn it, we can't stop him at all!"
Listening to the urgent reports from the police channel, Gwen's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her mood very irritable.
Can't I just be allowed to miss Peter in peace for a while and chat with him?
Peter had been out of the country for nearly a week. This was the first time in eighteen years that Gwen had been without Peter's company for such a long period.
Her intense longing almost felt tangible, overflowing.
Yet, she didn't even have time to have a long phone call with him.
This made Gwen feel quite unhappy:
"This guy again. Why won't he just give up?"
Gwen's brows furrowed slightly; besides her confusion, she was also somewhat dissatisfied.
However, there was no time for further thought. To prevent her father's colleagues from being injured and to avoid harm to innocent citizens, Gwen could only shake her head, quickly change into her suit, and swing toward Seventh Avenue on her webs.
When Gwen arrived at the scene, she saw Sandman transformed into a seven- or eight-meter-tall sand giant. With one punch of his massive sand fist, he smashed the already heavily damaged bank vault.
Countless green Franklins flew through the air because of his actions.
"Stop!"
Gwen shouted. The web pellets she had specifically developed to deal with Sandman were fired in succession, the dense barrage landing on Sandman's arm,
completely severing the arm he was using to grab the money.
"You again!"
Sandman let out an angry roar, repeatedly swiping at Gwen as if swatting a fly.
"Still the same old tricks~" Gwen tried to provoke Sandman with words:
"Seriously, you really don't know how to innovate. Just the same few moves over and over... can't you show me something new?"
While Gwen was complaining like this, Sandman suddenly let out a roar.
The sand scattered on the ground from his previous movements converged toward Sandman's body like rivers flowing into the sea.
Gwen, who had just landed, was momentarily caught off guard and actually had her feet entangled by the rapidly converging sand.
She hurriedly shot out a web, trying to swing away, but at that moment, Sandman swung his hand violently toward the projected web.
The moment he struck, he voluntarily dissolved his quicksand arm.
Tons of yellow sand were flung toward the web in the air by inertia, easily blocking the web aimed at the streetlight.
With this sudden change of tactics, the caught-off-guard Gwen was swallowed by yellow sand and, after Sandman reassembled his body, was held tightly in his hand:
"You're finished, little bug!"
Sandman restrained Gwen, who was trying to stop him from stealing the money.
But seeing herself about to be defeated, Gwen's spirit surged. She struggled with all her might, erupting with immense power, and actually managed to break free from Sandman's restraint through sheer monstrous strength, snapping his fingers in the process.
Having mocked her opponent for being uncreative one second and then being bested by his sudden change of tactics the next, Gwen felt a bit embarrassed.
So she used a web to stick to a manhole cover, swung it, and smashed it into Sandman again and again, forcing his massive body to retreat step by step.
Just as she was in the thick of her confrontation with Sandman... Buzz~
The brightly lit New York night scene suddenly turned pitch black.
This sudden change caught Gwen by surprise.
This certainly wasn't because she was afraid of the dark or for any other reason.
But rather because such a large-scale power outage was often accompanied by the appearance of another annoying fellow!
Mmm~!
After draining the electricity of half of Manhattan in one breath, Electro couldn't help but shiver with pleasure.
Looking at his blue body completely filled with electric light, Electro couldn't help but show an intoxicated expression:
"It's time... my little spider... I'm coming for you!"
As he spoke, Electro's body turned into a blinding bolt of blue lightning, rushing toward the direction of Seventh Avenue at a speed beyond the limits of ordinary human vision... Gulf of Maine.
Peter, standing on his flying skateboard, streaked past at high speed, kicking up a surge of waves.
Although he was still some distance from New York, with his vision enhanced by the Byakugan and the lizard serum, he still saw the sight of the brightly lit Manhattan instantly turning pitch black.
Obviously, Electro was making his move again!
Gwen is in danger!
Forcing himself to calm down quickly, Peter began to think about how to deal with this alliance between Electro and Sandman.
These two guys weren't that strong in combat power, but they were very troublesome; one couldn't be killed, and the other was fast.
However, these two weren't completely without weaknesses.
On the contrary, both their weaknesses were obvious and even shared—they were both afraid of water!
As long as he could get a large amount of water, dealing with these two wouldn't be difficult!
Thinking of this, Peter's mind couldn't help but wander... Speaking of which, there just happened to be an item related to water in his system...
