Because he was so excessively shocked, George didn't even care about confidentiality regulations anymore:
"What the hell? This playboy, this billionaire, is actually that red iron man observed that day?!"
"That's not what he said when he was making his statement that day!"
Just as George was getting angry at Tony for concealing the truth from the police and giving a false report...
He suddenly noticed the looks in Gwen and Peter's eyes.
For some reason, those looks caused a sense of unease to arise in his heart for no apparent reason.
"Dad, actually, Peter and I have also been hiding something from you for a long time."
Gwen had only just finished her opening line.
Grandma Pauline suddenly chimed in and asked:
"Am I about to hold a great-grandson?"
George:... Gwen:... Peter:... "Grandma, there's no rush for that. At the very least, we have to wait until Gwen is twenty-three or twenty-four."
Peter responded to the old lady while wiping cold sweat from his forehead.
It must be said that this answer was quite pleasing to the elders.
George's expression clearly softened a lot, and his gaze toward Peter now carried a hint of appreciation.
Grandma Pauline was a bit disappointed at first, but then she reached out and patted Peter's head:
"Good boy, I feel at ease leaving Gwen in your hands."
After that little interlude, Gwen finally took Peter's hand, took a deep breath, and looked at her father.
"Dad, what I actually wanted to say is... I am Ghost-Spider."
George:... Pauline: Ugh~!
Before the shocked George could react, Grandma Pauline suddenly clutched her chest.
Clearly, an elderly lady with some cardiovascular issues couldn't quite handle this kind of stimulation.
As for why an unexpected pregnancy wouldn't be considered a shock... one can only say that's how the older generation is.
Seeing the old lady's reaction, Gwen and George both panicked.
While George was scrambled to find the nitroglycerin tablets, Peter had already reached out and placed his hand on the old lady.
When George rushed back with the small pill bottle, he saw the old lady comfortably squinting her eyes while bathed in a gentle white light.
Clatter~!
The pill bottle in his hand instantly fell to the floor.
George looked at Peter in shock, suddenly feeling a bit of angina himself... he had seen this ability before.
The Punisher had previously displayed this kind of ability.
Only back then... what he restored was the school, not a human body... "Peter... so you are..."
Looking at his mother who, after being bathed in white light, was restored to her original state—even able to climb up from the ground without a cane, and even trying to jog and jump with a look of novelty—
George finally asked the second half of his question tremulously:
"You are The Punisher?!"
At this moment, George felt as if a hundred-year-old Vampire was picking up a steamroller and repeatedly crushing his worldview... His precious daughter was actually Ghost-Spider, who flew over the walls of New York and had several encounters with him?
And his daughter's boyfriend, the young man he had watched grow up, who was righteous and enthusiastic and seemed harmless, was "The Punisher" who had made several supervillains evaporate from the face of the earth!
After the brief shock, George's first reaction was to reach for the service pistol at his waist.
He almost subconsciously pulled out the gun and aimed it at Peter.
Mainly, in George's perception, The Punisher was a far more brutal existence than Ghost-Spider!
Unlike JJJ, who praised The Punisher to high heaven just because he restored the school.
As the New York Police Captain, George had his own standards of judgment.
Although Ghost-Spider was out of control, she at least hadn't killed anyone so far.
But The Punisher... from Shocker to Lizardman, Green Goblin, then Sandman, Electro, and the recently deceased Bullseye and Obadiah at the top of the Stark building.
These people were either missing or officially declared dead.
An existence that disregarded the law and had so many lives on his hands—even if those he killed deserved to die—George didn't dare entrust his daughter to such a person!
"Dad, don't do this!" Seeing George pull his gun on Peter, Gwen felt like her heart was about to break.
Even Grandma Pauline scolded from the side:
"George, Peter just saved my life! Do you want to anger me to death?"
Compared to the two who only tried to persuade him with words, Peter chose a more direct action.
To be honest, George's behavior indeed exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought George would try harder to stop Gwen from being Ghost-Spider.
He didn't expect that in reality, he would attract the vast majority of the fire.
But this actually made it easier to solve.
After all, as a daughter, Gwen found it hard to resist her father, but as a son-in-law, he didn't need to care about that much.
Thinking this, Peter used "Shave" under his feet, and his whole body instantly flashed in front of George, his two fingers clamping the gun barrel as fast as lightning.
Under Peter's immense strength, George's gun barrel was instantly bent.
Noticing this, George, who originally wanted to use the gun as a deterrent, went completely numb.
Now he couldn't even pull the trigger unless he didn't want his hands anymore.
"Uncle George, I'm doing this just to prove to you that if I wanted to hide my identity and be a villain, there's actually no one in this World who could stop me."
After Peter finished speaking, he used the power of the horse talisman to instantly restore the pistol and pointed the muzzle at his own forehead:
"If you want to try, you can also fire a shot and see."
Looking at Peter so close at hand, George ultimately gave up the plan to fire a shot.
He put down the gun, reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and then deliberately made a cold, hard expression as he asked:
"Kid, tell me, where did Shocker, Lizardman, Green Goblin... where did all those people go? And those who died at your hands, why did you kill them?"
In response, Peter muttered in his heart, "I gave you a chance, but you're useless," and then directly said that Shocker and the others were working at Parker Tech.
"As for Electro and Bullseye..."
Before Peter could speak, Gwen couldn't help but stand up and choose to speak for her boyfriend:
"Dad, Electro wanted to take me away, even make me his slave... that's why Peter killed him.
Bullseye was in a similar situation; it was because he injured me that Peter killed him.
And Peter and I also have a bet, blah blah blah..."
After listening to Gwen's words, George finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
At least from the testimony of the two, Peter was not the kind of chaotic evil anarchist he had imagined.
Realizing this, George was about to say some harsh words to make Peter and Gwen give up their plans to be masked heroes, but Peter interrupted his'spellcasting' once again:
"Uncle George, before you state your decision regarding me and Gwen, I hope you'll take a look at this first."
As Peter spoke, he took out the backpack he carried with him and took out the "betrothal gift" he had prepared.
Looking at the computer and diary Peter handed over, George took them suspiciously.
As a result, after he had only taken a couple of glances, his expression completely changed...
