American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"Why hide your identity? Wouldn't it be better to be a hero openly? That way you can help more people!"

Auri didn't answer him, instead awakening her reporter's spirit.

Seeing a middle-aged woman the same age as Aunt May staring intently at him, Spider-Man's hairs stood on end.

He waved his hands in a panic: "Miss..."

"Auri!"

Spider-Man retreated repeatedly, shaking his hands: "Wait, I'm just here to find your boss, you don't need to be so excited..."

Auri suddenly stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Spider-Man, what prompted you to become a superhero? In the process of helping people, have you encountered any dangers? Why do you have such great power?

Do you live in New York? What do you do for a living when you're not righting wrongs? What are your thoughts on the recent negative publicity? Is there anything you want to say to the public?... Wait, don't run, you haven't answered my questions yet? Spider-Man?!"

A barrage of machine-gun-like questions scared Spider-Man into retreating again and again.

But he really couldn't resist, and his attempts to interject were ruthlessly interrupted by Auri.

Moreover, he really didn't have a good way to deal with the woman in front of him, so he had no choice but to retreat temporarily with a bitter smile.

He raised his hand and shot out a web, shouting loudly as he quickly disappeared.

On the ground, Auri was still shouting loudly, hoping Spider-Man would answer at least one of her questions.

Landing on the rooftop of a nearby low building, Spider-Man squatted on the railing, wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead, and let out a long breath: "Good heavens, are all journalists this troublesome? I just wanted to express my protest, okay, you win! But the problem still needs to be solved, I'll find out who your boss is through other channels!"

"You want to find me?"

A voice suddenly came from behind him, startling Spider-Man. He quickly turned around and saw a man standing behind him at some point.

In his early twenties, dressed very meticulously, judging from his skin color and appearance, he was clearly of Asian descent, but his English was very standard, and it was impossible to tell which country he was from.

"Find you?"

Qi Shan nodded, pointed to himself and said: "I am the boss of Didi Newspaper. Not only the newspaper, but also the nearby parking lot and the building you are standing on are mine. The designer just left 10 minutes ago. I just came to the rooftop to have a cigarette and get some fresh air, but I didn't expect you to suddenly fall from the sky! Want a cigarette?"

Spider-Man sternly refused: "No, that stuff is bad for your health. I strongly suggest you quit."

"That was before. Now, removing the nicotine and tar no longer affects my body. Smoking can only be considered one of my few hobbies."

Qi Shan took the cigarette from his mouth, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and said casually: "I heard you say you wanted to find me, what's the matter?"

"You're not going to ask me a barrage of questions like that woman just now, are you?" Spider-Man asked warily.

Qi Shan shrugged: "I'm also a boss, and professional matters are handled by professionals. Although I'm very interested in how you can maintain a normal superhero life in the face of overwhelming public opinion!

But if you don't want to answer, I won't force you.

Speaking of which, I quite like you. I don't know why the Daily Bugle is always targeting you."

Spider-Man patted his chest: "Thanks! You seem much more normal! Oh, right, the interview! Sorry, my identity needs to be kept secret.

Precisely because of this consideration, could you cancel the bounty mission? Stop chasing after me and reporting on me? It's affecting my life!"

Qi Shan spread out his palm: "This actually has little to do with me. Don't forget that you are now the news focus of all of New York.

Everyone is very interested in your true identity. Even if I don't investigate, other newspapers will track and report on you.

Not to mention the New York Police and the FBI, I think they are also very interested in you.

To be honest, I'm already surprised that you haven't been arrested after operating in New York for so long!"

Spider-Man was speechless, and after a long while, he said: "I'll give you an autographed photo, how about giving up on finding my identity?"

Qi Shan smiled: "Do you think that's possible?"

Spider-Man said dejectedly: "Then what do you want?"

"I'm surprised you didn't suddenly fly away. I thought that after I refused, you would give up negotiating and take action directly, such as constantly monitoring our progress, and once you found a possibility of exposure, you would directly intrude into the newspaper and destroy it. Or simply give a righteous lecture."

Spider-Man waved his hand: "Come on, that's illegal. As for lecturing, sorry, I haven't learned that yet. That's the principal's patent!"

Qi Shan's eyes flashed and said: "You're still in school?"

Spider-Man was stunned and laughed: "How is that possible? I graduated who knows how many years ago! I've forgotten almost everything the high school teachers taught me!"

"So it's high school!"

Qi Shan touched his chin and pretended to analyze: "That shouldn't be! If you were a student, you wouldn't have time to appear during the day!"

Spider-Man breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "Right! Everyone says it's impossible for me to be a stud..."

"That's not right, if I remember correctly, your previous activity times were different from recently. Recently, you seem to be appearing more frequently. Right, high school students are on summer vacation now. Wait, even if it's summer vacation, you shouldn't be this leisurely, you should be a student who just graduated from high school!"

Qi Shan snapped his fingers and looked surprised: "You're just a teenager!"

"Don't talk nonsense, how is that possible!"

Spider-Man's heart trembled. How could he be deduced so easily? Who is he? What a terrifying feeling.

Why does my spider-sense warn me every time I think about leaving? He's clearly just an ordinary person.

What exactly is the problem?

"In the videos I've collected in the past few days, more than one-third of the people said they saw you in Brooklyn, and the other two-thirds are distributed in other areas. Can I suspect that you live in..."

"Stop!"

Spider-Man shouted and made a pause gesture: "If you say any more, I'll leave immediately!"

"Suit yourself!" Qi Shan raised his hand indifferently.

"..." Spider-Man said weakly: "Okay, what do you want?"

Qi Shan's eyes lit up: "An exclusive interview with Spider-Man and a liaison. I need your direct contact information!"
