Chapter 471 Vulture's Temptation

On the streets at night, the roar of motorcycles echoed in the silent air. Peter Parker and Ned Leeds stood on the roof of a building, overlooking the arrogant motorcycle gangs below. They rushed through the streets, their laughter and the sound of engines intertwined, and they acted recklessly.

Peter is wearing the classic red and blue Spider-Man suit, and his slender and agile figure looks particularly neat under the lights. Ned, on the other hand, is wearing a full black combat suit, and the close-fitting design makes him look stronger than ever. The combat suit was tailor-made for him by Kreutz, which not only has extremely strong defensive capabilities, but can also automatically adjust according to Ned's physical condition. Ned's strength and agility have been greatly improved due to the transformation of the T virus. He is now not only faster and stronger, but also almost tireless.

Ned flexed his wrist slightly, looked at Peter, and said in a relaxed tone: "Hey, Peter, I haven't fully adapted to this equipment yet, but with these powers, I feel like I'm invincible!"

Peter smiled and checked his web shooters. "Don't get complacent, buddy. The life of a superhero isn't as easy as you think. Okay, get ready for action."

The bikers below continued to tease passers-by loudly, using vulgar language and occasionally making sexually suggestive remarks to women passing by. A gangster, holding a cigarette in his mouth, said arrogantly: "Let's find a place later and 'greet' those girls properly, haha!"

His companions burst into laughter, and no one realized that danger was approaching.

Peter jumped down from the roof, deftly shot out spider silk, and quickly landed next to the motorcycle gang. "Hey, guys! I think you better be quiet tonight, otherwise you will be in big trouble."

The motorcycle gang was startled by the sudden sound and immediately looked at Peter with vigilance. A leader stepped forward with a ferocious smile on his face: "Who do you think you are? How dare you control us?"

Peter spread his hands and said jokingly, "Oh, I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. After all, disturbing the citizens' sleep is not a heroic act."

At the same time, Ned came out from the other side and stood next to Peter. His movements were much easier than before, and he exuded a newfound confidence. Ned winked at Peter and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Hey, Peter, should I practice my lines? I don't think I can speak as well as you can."

Peter chuckled, "Don't worry, bro. Today is a practical lesson. You can learn slowly."

The leading thug was obviously impatient. He roared viciously: "Fuck your hero! Today I will let you know what it means to seek death!" After that, he suddenly pulled out a knife and rushed towards Peter.

Peter dodged his attack easily, shot out a spider silk, accurately stuck to the man's wrist, and then pulled hard, throwing him to the ground.

"That's not a friendly way to communicate, man," Peter scoffed.

Seeing their companions being subdued, the thugs were furious and drew their weapons, ready to attack the two men. However, Ned stood there steadily, showing no signs of nervousness at all. He suddenly made a move, quickly dodged a thug's fist, and then grabbed the man's wrist and threw him to the ground with force.

"Sorry, brother, you're too slow." Ned said with a smile, his movements were smooth and natural, without any breath. After being transformed by the T virus, he no longer felt tired, and every movement was full of strength and explosiveness.

Seeing this, the other thugs immediately changed their targets and tried to besiege Ned. But Ned had already fully adapted to his new ability. He easily avoided the attacks of several thugs and punched one of them in the stomach with a backhand, knocking him back a few steps.

"Hey, this feels really good!" Ned said confidently with a smug smile on his face.

While Peter was dealing with a few thugs who were trying to sneak attack him, he said to Ned: "Don't get complacent too soon, stay focused!"

Ned nodded and attacked again, quickly knocking down several thugs around him. His movements were extremely fast, without any unnecessary waste, and each blow was accurate and powerful. At this time, the last thug finally realized that something was wrong and turned around to escape, but Ned suddenly rushed up, grabbed his collar, and pressed him against the wall.

"Sorry, man, you can't get away tonight," Ned whispered, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

A few minutes later, all the motorcycle gang members were subdued and lay on the ground wailing. Peter clapped his hands and turned to look at Ned: "You did a good job, man, it seems that the power of the T virus is really effective."

Ned smiled and stretched his shoulders: "Hey, Peter, I think I have completely adapted to this combat suit! But... I still need to think of a code name, so that it will appear more professional.

Just as he finished speaking, a strange and deep voice came from above, breaking the silence on the street: "Code name? Why don't you let me help you pick one?"

Peter and Ned looked up suddenly and saw a figure standing on top of a street lamp not far away, half hidden in the dim light and moonlight. His armor was dark green, with mechanical wings that reflected a cold metallic luster. The wings were broad and sharp, as if ready to take off at any time. His face was covered by the shield of the armor, revealing only a cold gaze, which was filled with undisguised hostility.

"Who—who are you?" Peter demanded, shielding Ned.

"Me?" The man laughed softly, his tone full of contempt and confidence. "You can call me 'Vulture'. This is the first time you see me, but I have heard of you a long time ago, especially you, Spider-Man." His eyes were full of teasing. "I have been preparing for a long time. I came here specially to meet you today."

Peter's face changed. He obviously realized that the other party was no ordinary enemy, but he didn't fully understand the other party's purpose: "What are you doing here? Just to scare us?"

Adrian Toomes laughed softly, his voice carrying a hint of sinisterness: "This armor, as well as the equipment on you, especially your modified friend, are all very useful to me. In another three minutes, the Umbrella Corporation's satellite system will relocate you. So, I have to hurry."

Before he could finish his words, Adrian suddenly spread his wings, and with a metallic roar, he swooped down on Peter and Ned like a bird of prey.

"Ned, get out of the way!" Peter pushed Ned aside and quickly shot out spider silk, trying to restrain Adrian's movements. But Adrian's armor was extremely fast, and with a flap of his wings, he instantly got rid of Peter's spider silk and swooped down, his sharp mechanical claws almost grabbing Peter's shoulders.

Peter quickly retreated and rolled to avoid the attack, but Adrian did not give him a chance to breathe. He spread his wings again and rushed towards Peter with a huge airflow. The two instantly fell into a fierce battle. Peter flexibly dodged every attack of Adrian, and spider silk continued to shoot out, trying to restrain the opponent's movements.

"Your equipment is good, but not good enough." Adrian sneered, and every move was accurate and deadly. His mechanical wings were as sharp as knives, and every swing threatened to tear the air. Peter barely parried and was almost forced into a corner several times.

On the other side, Ned hid in a corner, secretly anxious. He knew that his current combat power was not enough to fight Adrian directly, but he couldn't just stand by and watch. Ned quickly adjusted the long-range attack mode of the battle suit, and the light screen of the battle suit popped up in front of him, and he quickly locked onto Adrian's battle armor.

"Peter, hold on! I'm here to help you!" Ned shouted and pressed a button on his suit. Several energy rays shot out from his suit and hit Adrian's armor directly.

Adrian heard the sound and immediately flapped his wings, turning quickly to avoid being hit head-on by the energy beam. But this moment of distraction gave Peter a chance to catch his breath. He suddenly shot out several spider silks, which stuck to Adrian's armor and pulled him to the ground.

"You're such a troublesome guy!" Peter pulled the spider silk hard and rushed towards Adrian quickly, ready to seize his weakness.

"Humph!" Adrian sneered, flapped his wings, and the violent airflow blew Peter away. Peter turned several times in the air before he could barely stabilize his body. Adrian took the opportunity to counterattack, and his mechanical wings turned into two sharp blades, slashing towards Peter.

Peter narrowly avoided the attack, and when he felt the sharpness in the air, he immediately realized that he had underestimated his opponent. "This guy is not just an ordinary thug. We need to find a way to break his rhythm."

At this moment, Adrian's voice sounded again: "Time is running out, I have to deal with you quickly."

He quickly pulled out an explosive device and threw it in the direction of Peter and Ned. Peter's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately shot out spider silk, stuck to the explosive device, and threw it far away. But Adrian had already pounced on them again, and his mechanical claws were as sharp as a knife, going straight for Peter's heart.

"Peter, be careful!" Ned shouted, and launched a long-range attack mode again, with several energy rays attacking Adrian. Although he did not dare to fight Adrian directly, his ray attack interfered with Adrian's actions, forcing him to turn temporarily.

Peter took this opportunity to quickly retreat and stand firm: "Well done, Ned! But our time is almost up, we have to find a way to delay him!"

Adrian obviously realized the urgency of time, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly accelerated, and the mechanical wings spread out again, rushing towards Peter at a faster speed, with a deadly breath. But this time, Peter did not dodge, but rushed forward, quickly wrapped Adrian's wings with spider silk, and tried his best to pull him off the ground.

"Don't you understand? You can't stop me." Adrian sneered and flapped his wings, trying to break free from Peter's spider silk. But at the moment his wings broke free, Ned's energy ray hit his back again, instantly stopping his movement for a second.

"Now!" Peter took the opportunity to jump up and punched Adrian hard in the face, knocking him out and falling heavily to the ground.

Adrian struggled to stand up, a sinister light flashed in his eyes. He looked down at the timer on his wrist, and time was running out. He stared coldly at Peter and Ned, and whispered, "It seems that today's harvest will be temporarily shelved."

He flapped his wings quickly, flew into the air, and prepared to leave. Peter wanted to chase him, but he knew that the opponent's equipment and ability were too strong, and it would be more dangerous to chase him rashly.

"Forget it, Ned, let's let him go first. The Umbrella people will find him soon." Peter said helplessly and put away his spider web shooter.

Ned panted and nodded. "What a tricky guy. We must be careful next time we meet him."

Adrian Toomes flew away quickly in the sky, and his figure gradually disappeared in the night sky. The streets returned to silence again, but the two knew that the battle was far from over.

Just as the two were leaving, a Shumagia holding a katana also left from a tall building.
