I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

"But I don't really like the New York of my dream world, just like Philadelphia and Richmond. Those places are full of dust in the streets and alleys, maze-like winding roads, winds that smell of chemicals, and polluted air mixed with the smells of garbage and all kinds of food."

Gwen explained her feelings to Peter.

"Any more?"

Peter asked her.

"Hmm, let me think about it."

Gwen paused to think, "And some things about our future."

Gwen tried hard to recall what she had written in her diary.

"We talked about where we were going later, what we were going to do, and about the kids. We both had some margaritas, and then—"

Gwen suddenly stopped talking at this point.

Peter was just getting to the crucial point when he saw Gwen stop and asked, "And then?"

"And then I don't remember."

Gwen pretended to be stupid.

Her eyes were like gun barrels, pointing at the distant horizon, or perhaps pointing nowhere at all.

Peter could clearly see Gwen's guilty conscience.

In fact, Gwen was embarrassed to tell what happened later.

The two of them were supposed to have some hormonal encounters later on, but something unexpected happened.

The two then got into the car, and Gwen felt a little dizzy because she had been drinking.

So Gwen, who volunteered, didn't consider the consequences at all.

As a result, Gwen got into trouble because he was too complacent and didn't take the little bit of alcohol seriously.

Moreover, the road was wide and there were very few cars, but the car went out of control in less than five minutes after we got in.

In the dream, there was neither rain nor any accidents. The road was not complicated, except that there was a bend in the road.

Gwen was driving too fast and her reaction wasn't quick enough, and the road happened to be right next to the river, so...

It would be too unromantic to say it to Peter's face!

So Gwen gave an open ending, leaving Peter to guess what the two did after drinking.

No!

I wrote all of this down in my diary.

To prevent Peter from being like the girl who mocked her as a "grenade" yesterday, the diary must not be seen by Peter.

Gwen, blushing slightly, sensed the ambiguous atmosphere in the air.

She couldn't help but look up at Peter, who seemed to be deep in thought.

The other person's face was very close to hers, so close that she could smell Peter's scent.

Suddenly, Gwen felt an impulse to kiss him.

This wasn't the first time, after all; I'd done it myself in the swimming pool last time.

Although Peter said it was Teacher Helen's doing.

But it has already happened, hasn't it?

Just as Gwen was about to take action, her phone suddenly vibrated.

Startled, Gwen bumped her head on the table next to her with a "thud".

Gwen, clutching her forehead, angrily picked up her phone under Peter's astonished gaze.

Her expression instantly darkened when she saw that the caller was her father.

Peter, who was standing next to Gwen, looked at her blank and sad expression and guessed who had called her.

He deliberately changed the subject, saying to Gwen, "Aunt May made some pancakes, would you like to try some?"

"of course."

Gwen smiled and pretended nothing was wrong.

She did not answer her father's phone.

Although I still can't get over that mental hurdle, there's still a lot I can do now.

For example, finding out the real culprit behind the rhinoceros man's attack on his father!

Without a doubt, this guy is Kingpin!

He had to take care of Kingpin, the biggest scourge of the city, all by himself.

She originally wanted to tell Peter.

But she immediately realized that this was a matter between herself and Kingpin, and she didn't need Peter's help.

Besides, I can't rely on Peter for everything.

At the hospital, George frowned and put down the phone.

Beside him is his partner, Detective Devoff.

"In short, that's how it is. The Spider Woman just got away!"

George told his partner what had happened that night.

Of course, he concealed the fact that the Spider Woman was his daughter.

"He defeated the rhinoceros man."

Detective Devoe hesitated for a moment, then asked George, "What happened in between? Didn't you stop Spider-Woman from leaving?"

She knew who her partner was.

He wasn't telling the truth just now.

They've at least concealed a lot of things.

And these things should be very important.

Chapter 158 Gwen's Lone Battle?

The wound on his shoulder was not serious.

"Perhaps I can help you with the Spider Woman's case."

Dwolf said to her partner, "But from the mayor's perspective..."

She was interrupted by George Stacy before she could finish speaking.

“I know what you’re trying to say. James (the mayor) and the others have always thought that Spider-Woman and Spider-Man are a menace to the city, but they’re not our enemies. She even saved my life!”

"I know."

Dwolf adjusted her glasses. "I believe you, George, but I'm sorry, there's nothing we can change. The mayor won't risk stepping down to support you."

George was silent for a moment, then walked to the curtains by the window and pulled them open.

“I think I’m no longer fit to stay in the ‘Special Crimes’ team.”

He shared his thoughts with his partner.

He knew that even if he didn't resign voluntarily, he would soon have to step down from his position as team leader.

Now the mayor suspects that he deliberately let Spider Woman escape.

When Devoe heard that her partner was going to resign, she smiled wryly and said, "Actually, you've already been relieved of your duties. From now on, you can only handle Spider-Man and Spider-Woman's cases as a special consultant."

"And your successor has already been found."

George Stacy was not surprised by the result.

He turned to the other person and asked, "Who will replace me?"

"Officer Frank, he's interrogating the rhino monster that attacked you."

Upon hearing that Frank Castle (the Punisher) was replacing him, George nodded and said, "He's quite good."

Even so, he had already begun to worry about Gwen.

Frank is no ordinary policeman.

He frowned as he gazed at the sun outside.

At this moment, Gwen, whom George Stacy was thinking about, was standing in front of the Fisker Building.

Staring at the building that gleamed in the sunlight, Gwen pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt to cover her face.

She suddenly remembered the dream about the date that she hadn't finished telling Peter that morning.

He had been drinking and was driving Peter when they had an accident and the car ended up in the river.

She couldn't open the car windows or doors, and she didn't remember how she crawled out.

But she eventually climbed ashore.

A panicked Gwen watched as her overturned car was gradually swallowed by the river.

Peter did not escape; he remained in the car.

She hated dreams with bad endings.

This terrible dream foreshadows her inability to protect those closest to her.

So, in order to prevent the dream from playing out in reality, Gwen decides to punish Kingpin in her own way.

At least it prevents him from harming those close to him.

night.

Gwen, dressed in a Spider-Man costume and carrying a backpack, transformed into Spider-Woman and jumped onto Fisk Tower.

Inside the security monitoring room.

The white man in charge of monitoring the surveillance system was sitting in a chair reading a newspaper.
