CHAPTER 439 (1/2)
In Tony’s luxurious office, because of Iceman’s sudden question, everyone’s eyes focused on Spiderman. Harry was naturally not curious, he just wanted to see how Peter would answer this question. Daredevil couldn’t see it at all. He always relied on his own perception and roughly knew how old Peter was. And Iceman and Blink had seen Peter’s face before. They were just wondering if the Super-Popular New York Superhero was a young man in his twenties.
“This question… can I not answer it?” Peter asked with some embarra.s.sment when everyone was looking at him and Harry also smiled at him.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to answer, but you agreed to answer just now,” Iceman said with a smile when he saw Peter’s embarra.s.sment.
When Peter heard the first half of Iceman’s sentence, Peter thought he had let him go, but he didn’t expect that there was still a second half-sentence waiting for him. Therefore, Peter can only accept his defeat. It’s just age. They have already taken a look at his face. So what if they know his age?
“Well, I’m sixteen this year!” Looking at Iceman smiling and waiting, Peter made up his mind to answer quickly.
…
After Peter had finished answering, all three people in this office, except Harry, including Daredevil, were stunned. Although they were mentally prepared that Spiderman would not be too old, the fact that Peter was only sixteen still surprised them.
“Sure enough, the hero is a teenager!” In the end, it was Daredevil who spoke softly first.
In Daredevil’s perception, Mirage Knight is also a very young teenager, probably about the same age as Spiderman, and Dark Knight, the friend of Mirage Knight and Spiderman is obviously similar in age to Spiderman and Mirage Knight. So, after learning the true age of Spiderman, Daredevil also expressed some emotion.
“You are only sixteen years old!?” After Daredevil spoke, the surprised expression on Iceman’s face hadn’t disappeared before he asked.
Although Iceman caught a glimpse of Peter’s face just now, but he didn’t get a close look and Peter quickly put on his headgear, he just thought that Spiderman was probably only a young man in his twenties. But now that he heard Peter’s answer, Spiderman turned out to be a minor! Thinking about the time when Spiderman became famous. This is when he is in high school?
However, although Iceman was surprised at Spiderman’s age, he soon got over his surprise. Many members of the X-Men were involved in the struggle between the various forces of Mutants when they were young. Many of them had partic.i.p.ated in many battles between the Mutants as early as the age of sixteen. Just like Iceman, his experience in his youth was much richer than Spiderman.
“Okay, I’m finished answering your question, I’ll go back now.” It seemed that he didn’t want others to worry about his age too much, and Peter walked toward Harry and the others after he answered.
Peter has always known that his strength and Spiderman’s ident.i.ty need to be kept a secret. After all, he is only sixteen years old. He was in high school and if his true ident.i.ty was revealed then Aunt May would not agree with him being a Hero. And because of Lin Rui and Harry, Peter is very satisfied with his current state, guarding his secrets with his friends, and working hard together to maintain the safety of the city.
Seeing Spiderman standing up and leaving, Iceman still had a lot to ask, but he didn’t know how to ask his questions. Iceman now wants to know what kind of person Mirage Knight is, is he also a teenager? After all, Mirage Knight is obviously very familiar with Spiderman in real life, which can be seen from their relations.h.i.+p. If Spiderman is just a high school student, what about Mirage Knight?
“What are you laughing at? Be careful I expose you too!” When Peter walked back to his place, Harry was smiling at him, and Peter whispered threateningly.
Harry: “Haha.”
Just like that, Peter and the others waited for about half an hour outside chatting. After JARVIS arranged for the robot to deliver drinks for the second round, Tony and the other three walked out of the secret room. However, compared to the calmness of everyone’s faces when they entered, now both Rogers and Professor Charles can’t hide their excitement.
“Mirage Knight, can we go back? Jack and Deadpool are waiting for you at the base.” Seeing Lin Rui and others have come out, Peter hurriedly jumped up and shouted. Although Peter wanted to know what Lin Rui and the others were discussing, he wanted to leave here now, he did not want to receive the curious attention from Iceman.
“Well, I can go back now.” Lin Rui nodded and agreed without noticing Peter’s tone.
