Chapter 5: No Choice

"Ding dong."

The elevator stops at the basement level, and you can walk directly to the parking lot from here.

Mr. Parker quickly walked out of the elevator. The moment he looked back, he saw the strange Asian man waving goodbye to him.

This gave Richard a bad feeling.

"Mary, move faster."

Mary Parker was trotting while her husband held her hand. She was wearing high heels, which made it very difficult for her to run.

Seeing Richard Parker's expression was different, she was confused, but she didn't ask any more questions, and just tried to keep up with the former.

It wasn't until he got in the car that Richard Parker breathed a sigh of relief.

He started the car, and the silver-gray classic car slowly drove out of the underground parking lot and blended into the crowded traffic in New York.

Only then did Mary Parker ask.

"My dear, by the time they find out that the core data of the experiment has been eliminated, we should have already been on the plane. Why are you still so uneasy?"

Mr. Parker was silent for a while and then replied.

"There was something wrong with the man in the elevator just now."

He looked at the streets with cars passing by, his eyes confused.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Mary Parker held her husband's shoulders and spoke words of comfort.

Feeling the warmth in his wife's palm, Richard Parker felt a warm current in his heart.

The couple drove home. They quickly packed their bags and took their son Peter Parker to his brother Ben Parker's home.

"Peter...you're going to need to live with Uncle Ben for a while."

Richard ran his palms through his son's hair and kissed Peter's forehead.

He stood up and looked at his brother.

Ben Parker nodded to him, his firm eyes reassuring.

“… He doesn’t like to eat bread crusts and sleeps with a small light on.”

As a mother, Mary tidied her ignorant son's clothes with tears in her eyes.

At this time, the rain outside was extremely noisy, and the thunderdrops made a tinkling sound on the window.

"We have to go, Mary."

After looking at his watch, Richard firmly held his wife's arm and helped her up.

"Oh my gosh, he's only four."

Mary was extremely reluctant to leave, and was pulled away by Richard heartbroken.

"dad."

Little Peter grabbed Richard's hand, his dazed look was heartbreaking.

"sorry."

Richard pulled his hand away from Peter's.

Before the door closed, Richard, who had always had a dull expression, gave Peter a smile.

"Peter, be a good boy."

As the door slowly closed, the figures of Mr. and Mrs. Parker gradually disappeared into the rain.

The silver-gray classic car drove toward the suburbs with the roar of its engine.

"He is so young, he will never understand us in his life."

Mary sat in the passenger seat almost collapsed.

From now on, they are destined to hide here and there, and may never see their children again for the rest of their lives.

"Mary, cheer up. As we discussed at the beginning, Peter cannot live a life of wandering. Only in this way can he grow up healthily."

Richard, who was driving, spoke out words of comfort.

"..."

Mary just choked and didn't reply.

At this time, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the car.

"I think for children, a complete childhood is more important than anything else."

Richard's hands shook with fear and he almost lost control of the high-speed car, which frightened Mary into screaming in terror.

"Relax, Mr. Parker."

A cold object hit his head, and Richard suddenly calmed down.

He slowly slowed down the car and looked at the rear seat through the rearview mirror.

"It's you…"

Richard had a look of shock on his face.

"Keep driving, don't stop. And Mrs. Parker, I don't know if the gun will go off if you move around."

Xia Hua's words made Mary, who was about to grab the gun, stiffen.

"Who are you?"

Richard stared at the figure reflected in the rearview mirror with the corner of his vision.

"Don't worry, I have no interest in the lives of either of you. You should even thank me. If you hadn't met me, you would have made the headlines in tomorrow's newspaper because of the accident on the plane flying to Geneva."

When the Parkers heard this, their hands and feet became cold with shock.

"How do you know! You are one of theirs? No! You are not one of those guys!"

Regarding Richard's confusing question, Xia Hua vaguely knew what he meant.

Osborne Industries was infiltrated by unknown forces. Even Norman Osborne, the founder of the business empire, did not know that his company had become a hornet's nest.

But Richard inadvertently discovered the mysterious force lurking around him, and found that they were preparing to use the results of cross-species genetic experiments to create biological weapons.

How could Richard, who was bent on completing the experiment and benefiting all mankind, accept it?

So he destroyed the core data in the laboratory and betrayed Osborne with the copied data in the computer and the core formula in his head.

Otherwise, how could Norman Osborne, who was waiting for the experimental results to save his life, send someone to kill Richard, the key person who saved his life.

"Hush, Mr. Parker, you have too many questions. Now is not a good time for small talk. But I can tell you clearly that with the capabilities of that organization, no matter where you escape, you will not be able to escape the fate of death."

Xia Hua put the pistol back in his arms.

"Even if you without shelter escape the plane accident, other accidents will be waiting for you."

When Richard heard this, his eyes flickered, and he kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"So, you mean you can protect us?"

Xia Hua smiled slightly and replied: "It's not that I'm protecting you, but the forces behind me can definitely protect you."

Richard was slightly silent, and he and his wife looked at each other.

"How can you guarantee that what you say is true? Why should I believe you?"

Xia Hua shrugged.

"I can't prove it to you now, but if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago. I wouldn't have given you time to go home and care for yourself."

After saying that, Xia Hua continued with a confident tone: "And...it seems that you have no better choice."
