I Have a Girlfriend in Marvel

"Spider-Man, did you kill him?"

On the way back, Gwen's voice came through the earpiece, tinged with hesitation—she wanted to know the answer but feared accepting it.

Su Ye chuckled. "I'm just a high school student. How could I possibly kill someone?"

Hearing this, Gwen let out a huge sigh of relief. Her boyfriend was a hero who punished evil with skill, not a murderer with blood-stained hands. This reassured her.

As for the Green Goblin's screams of agony, Gwen didn't care—after everything he'd done, even killing him wouldn't have been excessive. She just didn't want Su Ye to bear the burden of bloodshed.

Su Ye didn't return to the Broadway theater. Harry had left long ago, heading to the site of Mary Jane's incident. At this point, Harry still didn't know that his father, Norman Osborn, was the Green Goblin.

And he wouldn't find out for a long time.

The Osborn Corporation's top brass struck a deal with the police, donating vast sums of money and resources in exchange for keeping Norman Osborn's identity as the Green Goblin a secret. This was to reassure shareholders and stabilize the company's stock value.

However, the police couldn't let Osborn off the hook entirely.

Despite his diagnosis of a mental condition, he would still face some responsibility. Once his injuries healed, he would spend the rest of his life under police surveillance. If his Green Goblin persona resurfaced, they could even take direct action against him.

Publicly, it was announced that Norman Osborn was retiring due to illness. Leadership of the Osborn Corporation would pass to his 18-year-old son, Harry Osborn, who hadn't even graduated high school.

The Osborn Corporation's think tank believed this was the least damaging solution for the company.

To distract the public, especially shareholders, from Norman's sudden retirement, they even hired online trolls to create a new narrative:

"Like Tony Stark, but younger! Harry Osborn could surpass Iron Man!"

That's right, they aimed directly at Iron Man, Tony Stark.

Tony, despite his genius reputation—building circuit boards at 4, engines at 6, entering MIT at 14, and graduating as valedictorian at 17—had a messy private life.

But Harry? A clean slate, not even many romantic entanglements. A diamond bachelor through and through.

Plus, Harry had one big advantage: his father was still alive to offer guidance.

Through clever manipulation, they painted Harry as someone who could lead Osborn Corporation to even greater heights, similar to Stark Industries under Tony.

When every media outlet pushes the same narrative, it's easy for the public to be swayed.

Soon, people stopped discussing the Green Goblin. He faded into the background, a minor villain in the fan wars between Spider-Man and Iron Man supporters.

In fact, the Green Goblin unintentionally boosted Spider-Man's public image, solidifying him as New York's beloved neighborhood hero.

Online, a Spider-Man fan club had already formed, frequently clashing with Iron Man fans from the West Coast.

"We don't need to intervene?"

In her bedroom, Gwen was typing furiously on her laptop, resembling a frantic writer racing against a deadline.

"Your fans are getting wild! After taking on Iron Man's fans, now they want to pick a fight with Captain America's."

"Don't they realize Cap's fans are everywhere? They don't stand a chance, even with ten lives!"

"That's just inviting trouble!"

Gwen grumbled while typing, half-scolding through her earpiece.

It had been a week since Spider-Man's fight with the Green Goblin.

Su Ye was surprised at how quickly he gained a fan club.

In the meantime, he continued his rigorous training at the Shiranui Dojo, honing his skills to new heights.

After that night's battle with the Green Goblin, Su Ye came to a realization: There are no weak martial arts, only weak martial artists.

In The King of Fighters or Fatal Fury, Andy Bogard might be considered a weak character, but that only proves his personal shortcomings—not that Koppō or Shiranui-style Ninjutsu are ineffective.

In fact, with Spider-Man's abilities, Koppō can unleash immense destructive power.

If Captain America were to use these techniques, Terry Bogard's more direct and powerful style would likely suit him better. Conversely, Andy's softer Koppō style aligns more naturally with Spider-Man's agility and finesse.

So, it's not about weak techniques, but about matching the right person with the right style.

Understanding this, Su Ye devoted even more time to the Shiranui Dojo.

Previously, he had only learned Koppō. He had yet to master Shiranui-style Ninjutsu, nor had he acquired the ability to harness explosive energy or control flames. His eagerness was understandable.

Fortunately, Hanzo Shiranui had no intention of holding back and willingly taught him everything.

This wasn't due to any external system but rather Hanzo's own discovery from Spider-Man's battle with the Green Goblin.

Spider-Man's mid-air maneuver—using the lightning rod to execute the 'Air Breaker Kick'—was captured on camera and broadcast on television. Hanzo happened to see it.

Combining that with Su Ye's extraordinary physical capabilities and his resemblance to Spider-Man's physique, Hanzo quickly pieced it together.

The new apprentice he had taken in for his granddaughter was none other than New York's Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

A hero of this caliber not only deserved his granddaughter but was also worthy of inheriting the mantle of Shiranui Dojo's future master.
