Crime Master would be the last of the old school mobsters still trying to maintain control of his territory, but Kingpin won't make it easy for him, in spite of all the proposals of a truce (or at least a "peace treaty" of sorts.) by Crime Master himself.

Eventually, it gets to the point to where Crime Master sees Spider-Man as the only one capable of stopping Kingpin, and thus, gives him the information.
