"Uh, Tohka, don't waste your effort. We obviously can't find him anymore. That lizard isn't a warm-blooded animal, and your armor's sensor seems to be a thermal imaging detector. That guy must have suppressed his body temperature, so you won't be able to find anything." Hearing Tohka's words, Little Spider reminded her. Clearly, he had also searched, since both of their suits were made by Tony.
"Tsk, by the way, how did you end up fighting him?" Upon hearing Little Spider's words, Tohka knew she wouldn't be able to catch that guy.
"Well, I went to the Osborn Tower today. As soon as I entered Dr. Connors' office, I found that he had already injected the serum. Even though I had helped him complete the formula, it was still only a semi-finished product, which led to this situation."
"You might have to ask Harry about this. It's very likely related to the Osborn Corporation. Whatever, I'm leaving now."
"Are you okay?" As Tohka flew up and landed in front of Gwen and Mary Jane, the two girls quickly examined her. They had clearly seen that guy lunging at Tohka earlier, but since they were too far away, they hadn't been able to see exactly what happened.
However, they were relieved to see that Tohka looked exactly the same as before. Her armor was still as good as new, without a single scratch.
"I'm fine, but it looks like we won't be able to keep playing today. I'm leaving now."
"Tsk, that guy's serum is nothing special. He just turned himself into a freak. Good thing I shut down his project, or it would've been a waste of money."
Elsewhere, in a skyscraper no less imposing than Osborn's, a burly bald man was also watching the same footage, which showed the people engaged in battle.
"Do you have any leads on this guy's identity?" Taking a puff of his cigar, Kingpin asked his assistant, who looked incredibly small compared to him.
"Yes. From what we can tell, this guy is most likely a scientist from Osborn Corporation. It seems that Norman cut off his funding, forcing him to inject his unfinished serum ahead of schedule. But it looks like it had some unexpected effects."
"That's right. Find someone to get in touch with him. Tell him that if he can kill Spider-Man, we'll provide him with funding."
Poor Little Spider. He still had no idea that he had been targeted by two different factions.
"So, you're saying your father cut Dr. Connors' project because it was too costly and hadn't shown results for a long time."
"Yes, there was nothing I could do. After all, my father was thinking about the company's interests. You have to understand, Osborn Corporation's funds are limited. We can't invest in projects that take too long to yield returns."
