Chapter 15: Punch to the Flesh! Norman Osborn Exposed!
Jessica was utterly confused—not just because her mask had fallen off.
Why had Ghost Spider just called out her name? And why did the voice sound so much like… Gwen?
"It turns out she's just a little devil!"
The Rhino didn't wait for her to react. With a roar, he charged forward, aiming to smash her into the ground.
"You should have listened to your mother and stayed home, but it's too late now!"
Mom…
For a brief moment, Jessica froze. Those words hit deeper than expected. Her original family was long gone.
"Hahaha! I'm so scared!"
The Rhino grinned, thinking her hesitation was fear. His massive fist was only 0.01 centimeters away from her—another second, and her skull would be crushed.
BANG!
A black fist blurred through the air—
With a forceful uppercut, the Rhino's jaw snapped upward, sending him spinning 180 degrees before he crashed onto his back!
"Has no one ever taught you to be polite when you speak?"
Ethan Lee flexed his wrist. This guy was tough—still breathing after that punch.
Meanwhile, the Rhino's vision swam with stars. His head felt like it had been shattered into pieces. He could barely register what was happening.
On the other side, Jessica clenched her fists.
I have to survive! I haven't repaid my brother yet. I won't die here!
When Ethan struck the Rhino, Jessica barely paid attention to the scene. Instead, she staggered back and suddenly screamed, "You bastard! Don't bring up someone's mother so casually!—Wait, huh?"
As she shouted, she caught sight of the Rhino sprawled on the ground, with a black-clad figure stepping on his chest.
"Black… Black Spider?"
"Why are you yelling like that?" Ethan mocked her mercilessly. "What, are you trying to go Super Saiyan?"
Jessica was instantly embarrassed. I had already built up my emotions, and then you go and ruin it?!
She cleared her throat and asked, "Did you kill him?"
"Hmm…" Ethan mused. "Doesn't seem like he's moving. Should I just toss him in the river?"
"Uhh…"
The Rhino groaned weakly in response.
A grin spread beneath Ethan's mask. "Oh, you're still alive? That's good!"
BANG!
"AH—!"
BANG!
"AH—!"
BANG!
"Ah…."
One punch after another, Ethan's brutal strikes rained down, each hit weaker than the last as the Rhino's screams gradually faded.
Jessica and the distant onlookers were left speechless.
What… the hell? How is he more ruthless than a supervillain?!
This was pure, unfiltered brutality!
All of Ethan's pent-up frustration—being tricked into joining that club, dealing with all the chaos—was unleashed in every punch.
He finally stopped when the Rhino stopped making noise.
"Damn it!"
The Green Goblin let out a furious snarl, kicking the Vulture off him with a powerful blow.
With his enhanced strength from the Goblin Serum, that kick sent the Vulture flying.
Wait… isn't this the Vulture who disappeared some time ago? Why is he suddenly attacking me?!
Confusion flickered through Norman Osborn's mind.
Then, his gaze landed on the Rhino, whose body was practically in shreds after Ethan's relentless beating.
His pupils shrank.
What… what the hell?! That was brutal!
Norman's mind was already unhinged, and the black figure before him looked like a demon in his eyes.
"HAH!"
Before he could react, a swift figure swung in on a web—
SMASH!
A fierce kick struck him square in the face!
This time, it was the Green Goblin who was caught off guard.
The force of the kick, amplified by inertia from the spider silk, sent him reeling. His mask cracked—then fell off.
Norman Osborn's true face was revealed to the crowd.
Instantly, an uproar erupted.
"Norman Osborn?!"
"The chairman of Oscorp is a terrorist?!"
"Oh my god!"
Reporters who had rushed to the scene wasted no time snapping pictures and recording videos. Some even started livestreaming.
Meanwhile, at the Ghost Spider Fan Club…
Harry Osborn had just arrived and was helping organize some Ghost Spider merchandise.
Ned, who had been scrolling through his phone, suddenly gasped.
"Hey, Harry, you need to see this!"

PS: The protagonist and Harry aren't particularly close—Ethan only taught him art lessons. I never said they were good friends, so stop making weird assumptions.
