Chapter 307. The Expert Appears (Part2)

In his own home, Peter looked at Tony and Uncle Dragon, who were chatting happily with Aunt May, feeling like his brain wasn't enough to process what was happening.

"Can we have some time to talk about the foundation? We may need to talk to Parker alone."

Looking over at the strange-looking clone, Tony deliberately emphasized the word "we" and spoke to Aunt May, who was completely unaware.

"Of course."

Aunt May readily accepted.

In fact, she was very happy that Peter had been chosen by the foundation.

.....

Entering Peter's room, Tony looked at the unknown Uncle Dragon in front of him and locked the door before finally spitting out the walnut and red date bread in his mouth. "Walnut and red date bread. How did you come up with something like this?"

Spitting out the food and feeling the full flavor of red dates in his mouth, Tony then looked at the clone in front of him with a serious expression and asked, "Alright, now tell me who you are and why you're here?"

"I already told you who I am. I'm from the Foundation." Facing Tony, the clone replied calmly.

"Don't pretend. We both know that the so-called Foundation is just an excuse."

Frowning, Tony replied without hesitation.

The Foundation and everything related to it was just an excuse he used to find Peter.

"No, the Foundation does exist, but it's not called the Cheng Long Foundation."

The clone's response made Tony look confused for a moment, but he quickly thought of another possibility, and his expression became serious. "Are you from ...?"

"That's right, I'm an SCP Foundation containment specialist – Dragon."

"The SCP Foundation..."

Tony recalled the scene of his previous fight with Davy Jones and the containment item, "So, this is related to a so-called containment item?"

"That's right."

To that, the clone nodded without hesitation.

"SCP Foundation? Containment item?"

On this side, Tony and the clone pieced together the context, while on the other side, Peter, the protagonist of the situation, asked in confusion, "Mr. Stark, what is the Foundation, and what's a containment item?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the containment item is the main cause of your problem right now, kid."

Looking at the confused Peter, Tony felt pleased seeing how he was as polite as he used to be, especially after seeing the impolite 'other Spider-Man' before.

As he spoke, Tony pulled out his phone and brought up the surveillance footage Natasha had sent him recently, showing the two Spider-Men appearing simultaneously in two different places. "Can you tell me what's really going on here? Why did a bratty kid who's just like you suddenly appear but with a terrible personality?"

Looking at the footage displayed on Tony's phone, Peter fell silent for a moment before shaking his head and recalling, "Actually, I'm not sure what happened, Mr. Stark. I vaguely remember that I was chasing after a guy named Phantom Thief Kid, and then he said he had a gift for me. Then, I ended up like this."

"Phantom Thief Kid?!"

[Reputation points from Tony Stark +200]

Upon hearing the name from Peter's mouth, Tony couldn't help but blurt out. He naturally had an impression of the name. He still remembered the challenge from the thief, which had taken place before he focused on his superhero career, especially after the incident in Afghanistan. With the Avengers' frequent actions, he gradually forgot about the thief who had a brief encounter with him.

Surprised to hear the thief's name from Peter, the clone on the other side also made the same surprised shout as Tony.

"What? You guys know about Phantom Thief Kid too?"

Noticing the clone's reaction, Tony asked with concern.

"He's a dangerous guy who appeared at the containment site multiple times, and he always manages to get a hold of the items before the Foundation does. Based on the Foundation's estimation, Phantom Thief Kid had taken dozens of containment items. Even the tactical team members who specialize in containing the items don't have the confidence to subdue him."

Hearing the clone's words, Tony recalled Kizaru, who had appeared on the Flying Dutchman in Upper New York Bay, and the name Bucciarati that he had mentioned in his communication. If he remembered correctly, Bucciarati had talked about Phantom Thief Kid during the battle against Obadiah Stane.

He should have been working for the foundation at the time.

"Oh no, it's unlucky that Phantom Thief Kid is involved. It looks like the containment work will become complicated this time."

Uncle Dragon said, grabbing his hair and making a troubled expression. As he turned his head towards Peter, Uncle Dragon asked, "By the way, kid, do you remember what containment item the Phantom Thief used to turn you into this?"

Although Ryan knew everything as the plot creator, the clone still had to pretend to be confused to demonstrate his identity as an SCP Foundation containment expert.

"Containment item?" Peter asked with confusion.

"It's a strange item. Anything you see or touch that seems strange, you can tell me."

"Strange item?" Peter made a pensive expression and thought for a moment before responding, "The thief gave me a stone-like thing that split in half as soon as I touched it. Then, my body also split into two people."

"A stone-like item?"

Tony, who was listening nearby, couldn't resist asking for more information. "What did the stone look like? Do you remember?"

"It seemed to be an octagonal stone with a strange pattern on one side." Peter had only briefly come into contact with the Tiger Talisman, and he had almost immediately split into two due to the talisman's effects. As a result, he hadn't had a good look at the talisman's appearance and could only rely on his vague memory to describe it.

"An octagonal stone with a strange pattern on one side!"

The clone listened to Peter's vague description and murmured to himself while changing his facial expressions. Suddenly, he blurted out, "Damn it, damn it, damn it. I hope I didn't come across any containment item like talismans!"

"Talismans?"

Tony, who noticed the bait thrown out by the clone, seized the opportunity to ask, "What kind of item is that?"
