Gwen and Betty were shocked. Was this even possible?
In the short term, it was still a bit hard to accept.
"So, you're a playboy, like Tony Stark?"
Jaxon had no choice but to use Tony to clear himself. His good brother was there to be used as an excuse.
"No, I'm not like him."
"He was a playboy who changed after falling in love."
"I want both of you to be with me."
"I will love you both."
Though it was hard to accept, Jaxon finally made his intentions clear.
He silently prayed, 'System, I hope that, the choice card you gave me wasn't lying.'
'If this goes wrong, don't blame me for getting angry.'
Gwen took a sip of coffee to calm herself and looked at Mary Jane.
Mary Jane already knew Jaxon's intentions, and it seemed she had been thinking about it for a long time.
Gwen tested Mary Jane's feelings, "Mary Jane, what do you think?"
Mary Jane finally gathered her courage and said, "When I first heard the idea, I was very resistant. But I love Jaxon so much. When I saw you two so close, I admit I was envious and jealous."
"I think I might agree."
Gwen hesitated too, "I don't want to leave Jaxon either."
Jaxon was ecstatic. It seemed he was finally getting what he wanted.
If he can get these two, the others won't be far behind, he thought.
There's also Pepper, Betty, Natasha, and even Wanda, who hasn't appeared yet. And many more on the list.
"I have a condition."
Jaxon was a little confused, "Whatever the condition, I'll definitely agree to it."
Gwen leaned close to Jaxon's ear and whispered her condition.
Jaxon's heart rate skyrocketed, surging to 120 beats per minute.
Mary Jane and Betty, curious, asked Gwen about the condition, so she quietly shared it with them.
"You have to prove your ability before I agree."
"No problem. Anytime. How about Saturday afternoon? In the morning, we can visit Osborne Industries, and then you can come to my house to swim and get some sun."
Gwen and Jaxon agreed to meet her parents on Sunday, but visiting Jaxon's house on Saturday afternoon seemed like a good plan.
"Sounds good to me."
Mary Jane also replied, "I haven't had time to relax in the sun for a while, so I'm okay with it."
"Betty, what about you?"
Jaxon suddenly asked, catching Betty off guard, "Me? This is your business."
"I just want to invite you to my house for swimming and sunbathing."
"Alright, count me in."

Jaxon's relationship with Gwen and Mary Jane had been sorted out. He even told Mary Jane and Betty about him being the Black Spiderman, and just as you all have thought at first they were doubting his words but when he his right palm covered with his Symbiote, their eyes opened wide.
Jaxon did all this in secrecy as he was surrounded by 3 beautiful women.
He even told them about his system as they deserved to know, and about Betty, well Jaxon was not worried as he will soon make her his.
The ending was looking promising, and Jaxon believed the last step would soon be achieved.
After finishing their coffee, they agreed to go to Jaxon's house to swim on Sunday.
They chatted for a bit longer before heading home.
Later, Peter found a chance to stop Jaxon.
When Jaxon saw Peter, he knew exactly what Peter wanted to talk about.
"Mary Jane and Gwen are both going to be my girlfriends, and I won't hurt them."
"Don't worry, Peter."
Before Peter could even ask, Jaxon gave him the answer directly.
This hit Peter hard. His young heart was devastated, and he was momentarily crushed.
"How is that possible?"
"Why not? I like them, and they like me. I'll treat them well and won't hurt them."
Jaxon patted Peter's shoulder, "Goodbye, Peter."
Peter walked home in despair, feeling like his world had collapsed.
Time flew, and soon it was Saturday—time to visit the Osborne Building.
It was an activity organized by the school, and the whole class had to participate.
Everyone gathered at the school gate and took the bus to Osborne Industries.
Of course, Jaxon drove there himself, accompanied by three girls, drawing many envious eyes.
The Osborn Industrial Building, though not as famous as Stark Tower, was still a luxurious sight.
Jaxon and the others got out of the car and entered the Osborne Building under the guidance of staff.
"Welcome to Osborne Industries."
These events were just a way to promote the company.
The Osborne Building showcased many scientific advancements, all looking very impressive.
Not only that, Osborne Industries invited some top scientists to give short presentations and explanations.
"Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Otto, and this is the latest nuclear energy model developed by Osborne Industries."
"This model is very different from Stark Industries' Arc Reactor. I call it an artificial sun."
"If successful, this will be a major breakthrough in nuclear energy."
Jaxon looked closely. It really did look like a miniature sun.
One of the students asked curiously, "Dr. Otto, Stark Industries has already built the Arc Reactor and mastered nuclear energy. Isn't your research kind of pointless?"
At this point, Otto was still an idealistic scientist who hadn't turned evil yet.
"My friend, what you said is not quite accurate."
"We still know very little about nuclear energy. The Arc Reactor is just one way to harness it, but there's so much more to explore."

Jaxon was most excited about the mutant spider section.
Finally, they arrived at the area under the supervision of Professor Connors.
Connors, dressed in a researcher's white coat, stood there and introduced gene therapy to everyone.
Because Peter had access to research left behind by his father, Richard Parker, he was particularly interested in gene therapy.
After Professor Connors finished his introduction, Peter eagerly approached him.
"Hello, Dr. Connors. My name is Peter Parker."
"Hello, Peter. Do you have any questions?"
Peter was excited. This was a chance to understand gene therapy and learn more about his father.
"My father was Richard Parker. I've been studying some of his research notes, but there are a few things I don't understand."
Connors' interest was piqued as soon as he heard Richard Parker's name and realized Peter had his father's research.
Connors quickly recognized that the information Richard left behind could hold the key to perfecting gene therapy.
"Are you Richard's son? He was the leader of our research team. A true genius."
"Sadly, that plane crash..."
"I think if he were still alive, gene therapy would have been completed by now."
Hearing someone praise his father, Peter felt a deep sense of pride.
These words brought Peter closer to Connors.
Peter pulled out some notes from his backpack.
"Professor Connors, these are study notes I made from my father's research, but I'm having trouble with this formula."
Connors examined the notes and immediately grew excited, "This formula is crucial. It might be the key to unlocking gene therapy. I've been stuck here for so long, Peter. You've been a great help."
Peter was equally excited, "I just want to fulfill my father's dream and complete gene therapy to help people."
Just as Connors was about to dive into the research, a staff member interrupted, "Professor Connors, Mr. Osborn is looking for you."
Connors reluctantly paused, "I'll be right there."
"Peter, your information has been a great help. Come by my place tomorrow. We can discuss this further, and you can join my research team."
"I'll pay you a salary, and the research credit will belong to you."
Peter was thrilled. Working with Connors would make college applications and job prospects much easier.
Not to mention, earning a salary would help ease Aunt May's financial burden.
"Yeah, sure. I'll come tomorrow."
"Goodbye, Peter."
Peter was in high spirits as he returned to the group.
Ned asked curiously, "Peter, why are you so happy?"
"Dr. Connors is hiring me as his research assistant, and I'll get paid."
"Oh, that's awesome."
Peter continued examining the spiders, thrilled with the day's developments. He pulled out his camera and snapped some photos of the spiders.
Unbeknownst to him, a spider had crawled out of the exhibit and was approaching Peter.
Jaxon kept a close eye on Peter and positioned himself nearby. The symbiote was ready.
As the spider will bite Peter, Jaxon will capture it and let it bite Gwen next.
The spider's silk stretched as the mutant spider latched onto Peter's hand while he was taking a photo.
As if destined, it delivered its bite.
Peter winced and was about to slap the spider, but Jaxon quickly intervened, pretending to swat it away.
In reality, he used the symbiote to grab the spider and save it for Gwen.
The next step was clear: let the spider finish its role.
Gwen was puzzled. "Jaxon, something just bit me. It kind of stings."
"Probably a mosquito."
"Are there mosquitoes here?"
Gwen didn't notice anything unusual and brushed it off.
After the spider completed its task, Jaxon swiftly killed it, ensuring no further complications.
