Chapter 72 Pay attention to blood pressure

Tony Stark didn't bother paying attention to Eddie's overconfident chatter. His focus was on Gwen's subtle expressions. From the interaction, it was evident that Gwen had a certain liking for Peter Parker.

Both were top students, always the first to raise their hands in class when a question was posed. Gwen often turned to smile at Peter after answering, and Peter reciprocated with praise.

Tony also noted that while Eddie claimed to be dating Gwen, her reaction after being rescued told a different story. Instead of acknowledging Eddie, she had rushed straight into her father's arms. Clearly, their relationship wasn't as close as Eddie implied.

More intriguing was the look Gwen gave Spider-Man after the rescue. It carried a unique depth, hinting at something beyond admiration. However, from The Screen's narration, it was apparent that Gwen wasn't with Peter.

Tony found it hard to believe that the mutual goodwill between Peter Parker and Spider-Man could fail. He chalked it up to a misunderstanding and turned his attention to the tangled web of Peter's relationships with Mary Jane, Gwen, and the landlord's daughter.

"Oh, what was her name again?" Tony muttered.

"Ursula," Jarvis helpfully supplied.

"Right, Ursula!" Tony chuckled, imagining the drama. The tragic love story of four people was like watching a soap opera, full of twists and tension.

Still, Tony was perplexed by the narrator's remark about someone learning from Peter Parker. Who was that directed at, and why?

[Inside the Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson looks at Hoffman and asks him to give him something that will amaze him. Hoffman puts a label with "Daily Bugle" on it, and then puts several more labels in a row, "Cheers, now!", "Wow!", "Excellent!".]

[He looked at Jameson with a smile on his face, "I and the guys in the advertising department have come up with some slogans! As you wish, the circulation of our newspaper is already great!"]

[Before Jameson could get happy, he poured cold water on him again, "Although it's not as good as the New York Times, the Daily News, the Post, and some other small ones..."]

[Jameson's face turned beet red as his blood pressure spiked. "Keep going, you useless…" he began, but his rant was interrupted by a loud rumble outside, causing his desk to shake violently.]

["What now?!" Jameson barked, glaring out of his office.]

["Your blood pressure! Mr. Jameson, your wife asked me to keep an eye on you if you get angry!" Miss Brant explained.]

["Go tell my wife!!!" He yelled at Miss Brant, then whispered with a smile, "Thank you very much!" and motioned Hoffman to continue.]

[Hoffman pointed to a whiteboard filled with more promotional ideas. As he explained, Jameson's blood pressure visibly climbed again. Miss Brant, watching the scene, reminded him with a sweet smile, "Time to take your medicine!"]

[Jameson groaned but reached for the medicine bottle. As soon as he unscrewed the cap, another rumble shook his desk, spilling the pills everywhere. "Not this again!" he growled, suppressing the veins bulging on his forehead.]

[After several deep breaths, Jameson managed to compose himself. He shot Hoffman a warning glance. "Go on," he said through gritted teeth.]

"Hahahahahaha!!!" Tony laughed so hard that his thighs turned red from clapping his hands. J. Jonah Jameson was completely dominated by his wife.

Rhodes next to him also tried to hold back his laughter until his face turned red.

Jameson covered his face. After a month, he became a celebrity in the screen again. He could already imagine that from now on.

He was sure that his competitors would not miss this opportunity to laugh at him, and he would definitely be on the front page tomorrow.

The only good thing is that the popularity of the Daily Bugle has increased again. Although it was in the form of him being embarrassed, it did not prevent Miss Brant and others from watching the fun.

"Honestly, I've never seen him like this." Miss Brant covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Hoffman couldn't hold it back and his shoulders couldn't help twitching.

"Hoffman! Come in!!!" The unfortunate Hoffman was too tall, so Jameson saw him in the office. He knew he was trying to hold back his laughter, so he yelled at him...

[Eddie Brock entered the office, humming to himself. Spotting Miss Brant sealing a letter with her tongue, he sauntered over, his trademark smirk in place. "He's busy," Miss Brant said, not looking up.]

["Oh, I'm not here for him," Eddie said smoothly. "Just wanted to chat with you, beautiful." He leaned in closer, sniffing the air theatrically. "What's that smell?"]

[Miss Brant raised an eyebrow. "It's just Clairol. What perfume are you wearing?"]

[With a wink, Eddie quipped, "I call it 'Pure Charm.'"]

[Miss Brant gave him a frosty smile. "I'm wearing 'Get lost.'"]

[At that moment, Jameson kicked Hoffman out of his office. "Get out! That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard! And bring me something worthwhile!"]

["Pay attention to your blood pressure!" Miss Brant called after him with mock concern. Jameson raised his hands in mock surrender before storming back into his office. Eddie followed close behind.]

["Where do you think you're going?" Miss Brant snapped, but Eddie just waved cheerfully and disappeared inside.]

With the spread of the Screen, Brant's beauty and charm have already spread throughout the world, and this time her unique way of sealing the letter with her tongue has made countless old perverts crazy.

These old perverts were so eager to get Miss Brant's letters that they were willing to spend a lot of money and time just to get a letter sealed by her personally.

They lined up at the door of the Daily Bugle, hoping to have a chance to meet Miss Brant and win her over.

Miss Brant felt helpless and annoyed by the behavior of these old perverts. She didn't expect that sealing the letter with her own way in the screen would cause such a sensation.

She tried to refuse the requests of these old perverts, but they became more and more crazy and even began to harass and threaten her.

In this situation, Miss Brant had to seek help. She reported the situation to the police and Peter Parker and asked them to take measures to protect herself.

After listening to her, the police took the issue very seriously. They immediately arranged guards to protect Miss Brant's safety and issued a statement condemning those who harassed and threatened Miss Brant.

Peter also used spider web to let these old perverts experience the joy of sleeping in a spider web.
