Chapter 75: Sandman Shows His Power

[Peter's face appeared prominently on The Screen, surrounded by a crowd of cheering fans. Nodding in time with their chants, he soaked in the adulation.]

[The crowd roared, "Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Spider-Man!" Girls held up signs with his name, screaming in excitement. Peter glanced at the approaching guard of honor and couldn't help but sway with them, a satisfied smile on his face.]

["Spider-Man! Spider-Man! Spider-Man!" He listened and watched the constant shouts coming from all around him, as well as the girls holding up signs with the name "Spider-Man" on them! ]

["Excuse me, miss, can I see that charming smile again?" Eddie Brock approached Gwen, camera in hand, his tone dripping with flattery.]

[Gwen greeted him politely, posing briefly for his shots. "Beautiful," Eddie said, snapping pictures. "This should definitely be on the front page!"]

[Eddie flatters, but Gwen says, "I have things to do, see you later!"]

["How about tonight?" Eddie pressed, unwilling to let the conversation end.]

[Gwen shook her head. "Not tonight."]

["Why not? Don't you remember that very, very exciting night?" Eddie's tone implied far more than what had happened, causing Gwen to laugh.]

["Eddie, we just had coffee," she said firmly, making it clear his imagination was running wild.]

[Meanwhile, Peter approached Mary Jane from behind, calling out, "Hey! Beauty!"]

[Startled, Mary Jane turned around, giving Peter the opportunity to snap a photo of her. "Another one," he said playfully before asking, "Are you okay?"]

["Well, I'm fine!" Mary Jane smiled. ]

["You're not mad at me anymore, are you?" Peter walked up to her.]

["No, Peter, I'm proud of you!" The two kissed and hugged each other. ]

["Hey! I'll fly in from that side!" Peter looked in a certain direction and told Mary Jane how he would get in so that Mary Jane knew where to look.]

["Put on a good show!" Mary Jane encouraged him, crossing her arms as she watched him leave.]

["Don't worry about the comments! We can just laugh it off tomorrow night! I promise!" Peter left to get ready, and Mary Jane looked at him with her arms folded. ]

"Poor Peter doesn't know yet that Mary Jane has been replaced. He is still looking forward to her performance tomorrow night!" Aunt May looked at Mary Jane. She knew that Mary Jane didn't want to distract Peter.

Uncle Ben nodded. If Peter knew these things at such a crucial fan meeting, it would affect his mood.

[At this time, Marko was walking on the street. He tilted his head and some sand flowed out of his ears. He walked past two policemen, one of whom immediately recognized him. He patted his colleague next to him and spoke in Marko's direction.]

["Isn't that the fugitive who escaped from prison?" Marko happened to be watching the two policemen.]

["Looks like him," the other confirmed. "Hey! You! Stop!" he shouted, drawing Marko's attention. Realizing he'd been recognized, Marko bolted. "Take the back road!" the officers yelled as they gave chase.]

[The two policemen immediately pulled out their pistols and chased after him. They blocked the truck one after the other, but Marko disappeared on the other side! ]

[After the two policemen looked at each other, they began to carefully search for suspicious people and places nearby, without noticing the sand that had been spilled from the truck behind him for no reason.]

[One of the policemen heard the noise on the truck, looked at the back of the truck, put away his gun, climbed up, gently untied the rope of the rain sheet, and after completely opening it, he saw only a truck full of sand.]

[He picked up the shovel and walked up. At this time, the sand on the truck suddenly sank. The policeman walked over carefully. Just as he was about to shovel the sand, a hand in the sand directly knocked him off the truck.]

[The policeman screamed and hit the hood of a woman's car behind him, causing her to scream and quickly abandon her car and run away. At this time, backup had arrived. A policeman shouted to his colleagues who came to support him: "He's hiding in the truck!"]

["Go ahead and block him!"]

[Marko no longer hid, and a huge arm stretched out from the sand, and then his entire upper body came out of the car. The people around him screamed when they saw such a horrified scene! ]

["Shoot!!!" A policeman shouted immediately when he saw the situation was not good. Several policemen on the scene began to fire wildly at Marko. The bullets riddled his body with holes, but they had no effect on him.]

[He roared, punched several policemen and sent them flying. He himself turned into dust and left the place. Vehicles along the way were overturned by him one after another! ]

"Wow! Flint Marko is so powerful that he can turn into sand and control it. Wouldn't he be invincible in the desert?" Tony was very shocked by Marko's performance, and immediately thought that it would be terrible if Marko was in the desert.

"Jarvis, if this kind of person appears, what solution do you have?"

"Sir, it is not difficult to defeat Marko under normal circumstances. You can use a large amount of water to disperse him and prevent the sand from condensing, or directly use high temperature to melt him and change its molecular sequence. However, when he is in the desert, these methods are difficult to work."

"It is currently unknown whether Marko has the ability to control the entire desert. If so, it will be a disaster for the whole world!"

"Make a file. I don't want to be helpless when this kind of guy appears!"

"Yes sir!" Jarvis immediately added Marko's name to Tony's super villain file.

[At this time, Gwen was standing on the podium, "Citizens of New York! I came here because I fell from the 62nd floor, but someone caught and saved me, and that person didn't ask for anything in return! He didn't even want us to know who he was!"]

[Mary Jane stood in the distance listening to Gwen's speech. Harry came up from behind her with a cigarette in his hand. He patted her shoulder. "Hey, Mary Jane!"]

[Mary Jane looked very surprised and kissed him on the cheek.]

["Where's Peter?" Harry asked in confusion, because he didn't see Peter. ]

["I guess he might have gone to take a picture of someone!" Mary Jane quickly came up with an excuse for Peter's absence.]

[Harry nodded, not suspicious.]
