I, the Bully Spider-Man, will destroy Marvel!

Chapter 220 Strange Comes Knocking: Winning Hearts and Minds First!

Toby plans to accompany short-haired Gwen to her universe after the Skrulls are dealt with, and then persuade or even subdue her father-in-law there before bringing him to their own universe.

In this way, short-haired Gwen will be free from constraints in another universe and can live peacefully in her own universe.

As for why the spider silk was in his house, that's even simpler.

Silk had planned to stay in this universe, but she had no relatives or friends and nowhere to go, so she was eventually taken to Toby's house.

However, it was precisely because of Spider's help to Toby's family that the two Gwens were even more united in their decision to keep one of them by Toby's side at all times, in order to prevent him and Spider from having any romantic involvement.

Moreover, with two Gwens, one can stay with Toby while the other can go on with her own life.

Poor Sheriff Stacy, I wonder if he'll ever realize that the daughters coming home each time are different...

Back to topic.

As short-haired Gwen and Cindy opened the door, Strange, still wearing the same black suit as last night, walked in.

But compared to the clean and tidy suit he wore at the beginning of last night, Strange's suit was now wrinkled and crumpled, as if he had just escaped a disaster...

Although he was prepared for Strange's arrival, Toby still put on his masterful acting skills, feigning confusion as he asked, "And who is this gentleman?"

Strange first glanced at the rest of the Parker family at the table before speaking to Toby in a deep voice, "My name is Stephen Strange, I'm a surgeon in New York, and I'm here to see you, Mr. Toby Parker..."

Toby exclaimed, "Oh, it's Dr. Strange! I've heard of you. You're the best surgeon in all of New York. I even considered hiring you as the head of the medical department at Parker Industries, but you turned me down..."

This isn't something Toby made up; when he was overhauling Parker Industries, he did send a job offer email to Strange, and Strange did indeed reject it.

Strange paused, then remembered the matter and shook his head, saying, "Yes, that's true, but I'm not a good fit for your biopharmaceutical company. My expertise lies in saving patients with a scalpel, not in developing your miraculous regenerative drugs..."

Toby chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Heh, perhaps Dr. Strange doesn't know enough about my Parker Industries. We don't just develop biological drugs; in fact, we conduct innovative research in various industries and welcome talent from all walks of life, including you, who stands at the forefront of the surgical field..."

Strange looked intently at Toby upon hearing this: "That's right, I didn't know enough about Parker Industries before, and I knew even less about you. But last night I spent all my savings to learn more, so I'd like to talk to you alone, is that alright?"

Spend all your savings to understand yourself?

Toby smirked, as if he knew why Strange looked even more disheveled than when he left the rooftop restaurant the night before.

So he used his belongings to buy his real identity...

He had truly forgotten that although his identity wasn't exactly a big secret, anyone in a high-ranking position could easily find out.

But for those at the bottom and middle levels, his identity is really hard to find out since he has never made a public appearance.

No wonder he thought Strange would come last night, but he didn't come until this morning.

Sigh, I have to say, Strange really is a spendthrift kid...

Although it is unknown how Strange obtained his true identity by using his possessions.

But it would be better to just use that money for yourself...

Toby finished his breakfast in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and then brought out a new plate of breakfast from the kitchen before tilting his head at Strange:

"Come on, let's talk in my study."

After saying that, Toby placed the plate in Strange's hand as he passed by, and then walked towards the study.

Strange looked down at the plate of steaming food in his hand, paused for two seconds, and then followed.

After closing the door, Toby sat down at the desk, gestured to the chair opposite him, and smiled, "Sit down, don't be shy, make yourself at home, let's eat and chat."

Toby's act of handing over breakfast, and his current amiable attitude, finally eased Strange's heavy and tense heart, which had been heavy since last night.

My stomach, which hadn't eaten all night, started growling.

Looking at the delicious-looking food on his plate, Strange finally couldn't resist and started eating voraciously with his knife and fork.

This was the first time Toby had ever met someone who could enjoy Mei's food more than he could enjoy it himself.

You see, the rest of the Parker family avoids Mei's seemingly delicious "food" like the plague, because it's tasteless...

In less than a minute, Strange had finished showing off all the food on his plate.

After eating these, he finally regained some energy and strength after a night of running around.

"Thank you so much for your breakfast, it was delicious!" Strange looked at Toby, who was quietly waiting for him to finish eating, and thanked him first, then said somewhat apologetically:

"Secondly, I want to apologize to you. Last night, I inquired about you without permission and learned about your other identity, your identity as the superhero 'Spider'..."

Upon hearing this, Toby naturally didn't blame Strange for inquiring about his identity without permission, but instead asked curiously:

"No need for an apology. What I'm more interested in is whether there are actually people on the market who dare to sell my personal information. Where did you get this information?"

Although his identity was almost common knowledge among the higher-ups, they were too busy trying to cover up his true identity to actively sell it.

The most likely candidate to be sold is Kingpin, but Kingpin isn't short of money and wouldn't risk offending me by trading his identity.

Strange was taken aback, clearly not expecting Toby to not reprimand him but instead ask such a trivial question, but he still answered honestly:

"I don't actually know that person's real identity. Last night I searched through all my old connections, but when they heard me asking about 'Poison Spider's' real identity, they either didn't know either, or they just hung up on me. Even the New York underworld turned pale when they heard your name, and beat me up and left me in the rainy night..."

"Until... just when I was on the verge of despair and collapse, an umbrella appeared above my head, and a mysterious hooded woman in black told me about your true identity. I couldn't see her face under the hood, but before she left, a gust of wind lifted her hood, and from behind, I could see that she was bald!"
